Chapter 407: The Last Resistance of Patton's Army

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Dadada......"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

The German Tiger tank with 88 mm Kk 36/L56 tank guns and two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns, as well as the Leopard KK42 75 mm guns, and the T-54 tank 100mm D-10TK tank guns, and two 7.62 machine guns and 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns were constantly ringing the sound of attack.

These German tank groups advanced rapidly on the American beachhead, while firing frantically artillery fire and strafing dense machine-gun fire; Let those American soldiers who were in retreat, as if they were being harvested for their lives, fell into their own pools of blood one after another.

As more and more German tanks, led by Guderian himself, penetrated Patton's troops, an even more tragic battle broke out between the German and American armies.

Terry? All the officers and men of the 1st Division led by Division Commander Allen did not flee in panic or retreat in this battle with heavy casualties.

Even when their casualties had been sharply reduced from more than 15,000 to less than 7,000, these American troops still used the desperate spirit of their 1st Red Division, and together with Patton, they held their positions, desperately resisting Guderian's armored forces, and attacked more frantically and menacingly wave after wave.

Of course, the rest of the remaining American troops engaged in sniper warfare also fought as bravely as possible with the 1st Division.

Although their combat effectiveness is not as fierce as that of the 1st Division, they are still stronger than many American units.

For the desperate resistance of the remaining elite troops of Patton's 7th Army Group, Guderian's eyes also lit up, and his expression was full of appreciation.

However, it was also because of these heroic performances of the American army that Guderian's blood was also boiling instantly, and at the same time, he also used all his strength to lead his SS troops and armored troops to launch a fierce attack on Patton's 1st Division, 45th Division and other troops again and again.

"Damn! How these German attacks came wave after wave, and madness! If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist for long! ”

"Hey! No matter how fierce and powerful the German army is, it is still human, and we are all human beings like them, so what are we afraid of them, even if we want to die in battle, we have to pull a few more Germans to accompany the funeral! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, take down the Germans on the left, they are trying to flank us on both sides! Come on! ”

"Damn the Germans! How can they have so many armored forces, and they are more powerful than the performance of our tanks! Our Sherman tanks are so vulnerable! ”

"Oops! The German infantry is attacking behind their tank groups, everyone be careful! ”

"Attack! Fight with the Germans who are damn these days! ”

While Guderian's armored forces continued to attack fiercely, many officers in the American army were shouting at each other hoarsely.

As the voices of these American officers fell, the anti-tank artillery group and Sherman tank group of the American army also carried out a desperate counterattack, trying to stop the German tank group and armored forces, or destroy them as much as possible.

As for the German infantry, which suddenly surged up like locusts crossing the border, the American infantry also launched a counter-charge for the first time without fear of death, so a white-hot fierce battle was so hot and desperate.

It seems that what kind of generals there are, what kind of soldiers there will be.

If it weren't for Patton's presence at the front line and his fierce command of the battle, I am afraid that these American troops, who were facing the Germans' more ferocious attacks again and again, would have fled long ago.

Of course, even if they don't flee, they will surrender immediately.

"Have all the troops we designated for evacuation already arrived at the beach and boarded the boat?"

Seeing that the battle situation was getting more and more miserable, Patton, who was not conducive to his own troops, immediately turned to the sweaty division commander Allen and said.

"It's all arrived, and it's on board! Sir! ”

Master Allen replied in a loud voice.

"Good! Then let's fight these damned Germans for a little longer, and then we will evacuate immediately! ”

Barton smiled happily.

For him, who has always been competitive, I am afraid that it is the first time that he laughs because of the news that he can let the troops leave.

But now he has no choice, because the German army he is facing is Hitler's most elite SS, and it is also equipped with a large number of new weapons and equipment exchanged by Chen Yanlong.

Moreover, the general who is now commanding operations is still Guderian, who has more combat experience.

Therefore, Patton lost this war not very unjustly, because Patton and Eisenhower's biggest hole cards, their air force and aircraft carrier fleet strength, are now in a fierce battle with the German air force and the aircraft carrier fleet.

In short, now the navy, land and air forces have all had unexpected battle situations, so all the hole cards and advantages of Patton in this Sicilian landing battle have been resolved.

In fact, his 7th Army has not kept most of its troops in the battle until now, which is already a remarkable achievement.

If the people in command of this unit were other generals with lower military ability and lack of courage, I am afraid that the number of casualties of the current US army will have to multiply several times, and it is possible that the entire army will be wiped out.

"Yes! Sir! ”

Barton spoke for a long time before Division Commander Allen took time out of the intense battle command work to respond.

"That's right! Do we have reinforcements from our aviation units? I see that they are already fighting more and more fiercely with the Germans, and they are at a disadvantage! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Barton looked up at the sky and changed the subject worriedly.

"There should be! This depends on the decision of Commander Eisenhower, but the reinforcement of these air units is much faster than before, and if they had not resisted the air raids of those German bomber groups for us this time, I am afraid that our casualties will be more than tripled! ”

Division Commander Allen also turned his head to stare at the group of planes in mid-air, fighting in full swing, and responded.

"Alright! Then we will now defeat this wave of German offensive first, and then immediately issue the order to retreat! ”

Barton sighed and commanded decisively.

"Yes! Sir! ”

Master Allen replied loudly.

Then, like a desperate thirteen, he personally ran to the front line to command the remaining soldiers of his 1st Division, and united with other troops to carry out a desperate defense against the German army's crazy offensive.

Because Allen knew that this was about to be the final battle of his Red 1st Division and Patton's troops against the German offensive. [.]
