Chapter 148: Bloody Battle Berg: Night Attack (I)

Beyond a small steep slope, the village of Berg came into view.

Perhaps the name "Berg Village" is no longer appropriate for the land, because there is no longer a single intact building as far as the eye can see, only the ruins of the wall prove that a small village did exist in the past.

"This, will anyone survive?" Looking at the scorched earth full of firelight, Schmidt said dumbfoundedly.

"If other troops were here, then I might be suspicious." Wittman looked around, "But they're SS17, don't forget their record in Barcelona!" I'm sure they'll survive! ”

As soon as Wittman finished speaking, two soldiers who were all black and blended in with the night came out of a bomb hole on the side and stood in front of the headlights and looked at them excitedly.

"Hey! Are you reinforcements? One of them shouted into Wittman's car.

Wittmann hurriedly opened the hatch from the inside, leaned out his upper body and replied, "Yes! We were in the first platoon of the second company of the 101st Heavy Tank Battalion, and I was Wittman, the commander of car No. 1331, and also the platoon leader. ”

"Oh God! You're finally here! The two soldiers were about to cry, "If you don't come again, we'll be finished!" ”

"Man, don't worry, you're not done, I'm here!" Wittman jumped out of the car and hugged the two soldiers, "Let's go, take me to meet your company commander!" ”

"That's right! Right! I'll take you to the company commander! The soldier stumbled toward the center of the position as he spoke.

"Turn off the lights, you're waiting for me here!" Wittmann gave a command, then followed the soldier.

It wasn't long before a fortified trench with a roof and gate appeared in front of Wittmann's eyes, which was the company headquarters.

"Company commander! Captain! Reinforcements are coming! Before they could enter the headquarters, the two soldiers began to scream.

As the soldiers shouted, an officer with the rank of second lieutenant pushed open the door and walked out of the headquarters, looked at Wittman in surprise, stretched out his hand and said, "I am Second Lieutenant Gaither, the acting company commander of the first company!" ”

"I'm Wittman, Commander of the Support Force!" Wittman shook hands with Gaither, "Uh, you just said you were the acting company commander?" ”

"Yes." Gaither shrugged his shoulders and said sadly, "I was originally the deputy platoon commander of the third platoon, but the first company still has combat effectiveness and my rank is the highest, so when the company commander was seriously injured and withdrew, he entrusted the first company to me." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." Wittman said regretfully, "But can you tell me about the current situation?" ”

"Of course." Gaither adjusted his mood, nodded and said, "I think you should know the situation on the other side, they are a full battalion of light infantry, but there are less than 300 people left at most. ”

"Before dark, we had just repelled a wave of enemy attacks, and that battle was our greatest loss, we had more than 70 dead and wounded, and we lost all our armored vehicles, so now there are 47 men in the position, and there are no other weapons except for some small arms."

"That means, if we don't come, you're going to have 47 people against 300 people on the other side?" Wittman was taken aback.

"Yes." Gaither nodded, "The superior didn't order us to retreat, and we will never take a step back!" ”

"It's SS17, it's all a bunch of crazy people." Wittman muttered quietly.

"What?" Gaither didn't hear what Wittman said.

"Well, I said, it's good we got there just in time."

"Yes, thank you for coming in time." Gaither smiled, "So, what about your troops?" ”

"They? They're all in the back. Wittman pointed behind him.

"Let them come, it's warmer in the trenches." Gaither said enthusiastically, "By the way, how many of you came?" ”

"Company commander, to be precise, I can't say how many people they came." The soldier who picked up Wittman said, "They're coming with tanks, four in all. ”

"What?!" Gaither was stunned, "Only four tanks?!" The higher authorities let four tanks come to our aid?! Oh, God! Across from us is an infantry battalion! ”

"Yes, we only have four tanks." Hearing Gaither's question, Wittman was a little upset, "But I think our four tanks are enough to drive away those French." ”

"Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you." Seeing that Wittman was upset, Gaither quickly explained, "It's just...... You get the idea. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to worry." "In case you don't know, I actually fought in the Battle of Barcelona, and I know a lot about fighting more with less. ”

"You also fought in the Battle of Barcelona?!" When Gaither heard that Wittmann had participated in the Battle of Barcelona, he suddenly became excited, "Which unit are you?!" ”

"At that time I was in the 3rd Panzer Division."

"The 3rd Panzer Division?! Oh buddy! Gaither shouted, "'Skeleton' division?!" You are also one of the prefix masters! ”

"Yes, the 3rd Panzer Division is the first batch of prefix divisions." Wittman nodded, and said proudly, "But I'm in the FΓΌhrerguard now!" ”

"Then you can see the FΓΌhrer often?! Dude, you're amazing! After some conversation, Gaither was full of confidence in Wittman.

"Not ......very often," Wittman was a little frustrated with Gaither's words, "Well, Mr. Acting Company Commander, I think I'm going to have to arrange my troops, I'm afraid the French will attack at night." ”

"Night raid? No, no, no. Gaither said contemptuously, "They don't attack at night, the French sleep well at night." ”

Hearing this, Wittman's mind flashed with inspiration, and he said excitedly: "Hey, everyone! I had a bold idea......"

"You want to attack them at night?" Gaither glanced at Wittman.

"That's right! Did you think of it too? ”

"Our company commander thought of it on the first night." Gaither replied.

"Did you do it?" Wittmann was curious.

"No, it's too risky." Gaeth shook his head, "Our mission is to guard this place, and we won't do anything that is too risky to cause trouble." ”

Gaither looked at Wittman, thought for a moment, and said, "But if it were you, you could have done it at the time, their anti-tank guns were blown up by the Air Force guys during the day, and now they have nothing to do with you." ”

"Then it's settled!" Weitmann has always been very bold, and when he heard that the French could not do anything about him, he directly made up his mind to carry out a night attack, ignoring the fact that there were 300 people on the opposite side, "I'll go back and transfer the tank!" ”

Beyond a small steep slope, the village of Berg came into view.

Perhaps the name "Berg Village" is no longer appropriate for the land, because there is no longer a single intact building as far as the eye can see, only the ruins of the wall prove that a small village did exist in the past.
