Chapter 44: Are We Really Going to Die Here Today?
In addition, the Mediterranean Navy of the British and American allies (3 battleships, 8 cruisers, 40 destroyers, 23 minesweepers, 14 small combat ship regional fleets), as well as more than 3,200 aircraft, are also on the periphery ready for the final strike. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As long as they waited for the order of the commander-in-chief of the Allied expeditionary force, Admiral Eisenhower, they could crush the 250,000 German and Italian troops in one day and make them surrender completely.
Of course, this is also the operational goal of the British and American allies today, and they must immediately deal with the remnants of the German and Italian forces on the Bang Kok Peninsula.
Thinking that they were about to plan the Sicilian campaign, they made pre-war arrangements.
When the first round of British and American artillery fire was covered, the soldiers of the US 9th Division and the British 1st Army were armed with Thomson light machine guns. Enfield rifles; With the momentum of a bamboo, it rushed like a tide to the positions of the German and Italian troops, who had almost run out of ammunition and food.
"Oops! The British and American forces launched a general offensive! ”
When he saw a large area of British and American troops under black pressure and launched a general attack with great momentum, a German soldier holding a Mauser 98K rifle that had broken in his hand widened his eyes in horror and exclaimed in panic.
"Attention, attention, prepare for reload battle!"
Seeing the surging British and American troops, there were still officers on the German positions who had the will to fight, desperately pulling Sanmen and giving a loud urging order.
With the continuous roar of the urging order, those German soldiers who still had guns and ammunition to fight back and fire, also wearing their big ears and steel helmets, moved one after another, some set up mortars and anti-tank guns along the forward positions of the communication trenches, and some continued to stay in their combat positions with Mauser rifles in their hands, crawling ready to aim at the enemy and shoot, but there were also some cowards who were thinking that there was still a way to escape the battlefield, or to surrender.
In short, after the order was given, the guns in the hands of the German soldiers who were running, or walking, and moving, the steel helmets they wore on their heads, the water bottles hanging from their waists, and other hard objects were rubbing and bumping against each other, so that the originally dead and silent trenches quickly filled with a tense and uneasy atmosphere.
"What else to see! If you don't want to be killed, shoot me back! ”
In such an atmosphere, a grumpy German officer, with a fierce face waving his fists; He roared angrily at a German soldier who had picked up a mud-stained Mauser rifle from the ground and stood blankly on his face.
"Smack! Syllable! Bang bang bang ......"
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang ......"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble ......"
In the midst of the German officer's scolding, there was no time for the stunned German soldier to come back to his senses; The sound of the guns of the British and American troops, however, was noisy and noisy in their front positions, and it resounded deafeningly.
"Hide, position, and shoot me!"
Seeing this, the German officer took the lead, concealing his body in the vicinity, and then skillfully concealed himself; Positioned, ready to shoot, while quickly yelling at the still stupid German soldier behind him.
"Boom...... Long ......"
As soon as the words fell, a shell fired from a 77 mm caliber cannon of the American army fell very accurately into the position of the stunned German soldier; Then, with a loud explosion, the German soldier was blown to pieces, and he could not die again.
"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"
In the midst of the lightning, several rifle bullets rang out in an instant.
The German officer, who had just finished yelling, immediately ducked down to avoid the several enemy bullets that suddenly came at him.
When the bullets stopped, the German officer cautiously probed out from his hidden trench to observe the movements of the British and American troops.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, I see that the German officer was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out.
Because there were more than 200 Sherman tanks, galloping towards his position like ten thousand horses.
At the same time the 75-mm short-barreled guns on these tank vehicles, and the 76-mm long-barreled guns; It was also already aimed at the position he was in, ready to open fire.
"Bang! Rumble! Boom ......"
In a few moments, almost 300 armor-piercing shells, grenades and smoke bombs rained down on the German positions.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble ......"
With a loud bang, the few remaining tanks and anti-tank guns on the German positions were also destroyed in the thick smoke.
However, the German defenders, who still had ammunition, were still intercepting with artillery, mortar, and heavy machine gun fire, trying to resist as they last resorted.
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Dadada......"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble ......"
"Smack! Syllable! Bang bang bang ......"
"Attack! Don't let those British and American troops take a step forward! Even if you want to die in battle, you have to pull one more British and American soldiers! ”
Amid the dense sound of gunfire, some German officers who would rather die shouted hoarsely from the trenches of their positions.
At the same time, they also used their guns to shoot wildly at the oncoming British and American tank army and the huge infantry that followed; and calmly commanding the German troops who still had weapons and ammunition to fight, and carried out desperate counterattacks.
I don't know if it's God's blessing, or if the luck of the German army is too good; In short, in their desperate counterattack; On the opposite position, the number of American tanks hit by anti-tank fire on the way to the offensive continued to increase.
But even so, behind those tank groups, there was still a surging flow of people like the Black Tide; Rolling towards the German positions, their frenzied gunfire and the bombardment of the main tank guns quickly overshadowed the weak artillery attacks of the Germans.
Such a situation, and situation, for those German officers and soldiers who still had a glimmer of hope; It's the last thing they want to see, and what they're afraid of.
"Are we really going to die here today?"
Looking at the rout situation that had already passed, the German officer, who had just leaned out of his hidden trench to observe the battlefield, said with a sad expression.
"I don't think we're going to be able to escape this damn island! Kamiruo! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another German officer in tattered clothes interjected behind him.
"Ian? McShawn, I thought you were dead! ”
After turning around and glancing at the other party, Camillo smiled bitterly.
"Come on, if we can't stop the general attack of these damned British and American tank groups and armies, we won't be far from the gates of hell!"
Ian? McShawn shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly in response.
"I'd love to meet Hayley? Atwell, I wonder how her life is in Berlin now! Will she still miss me if I die here? ”
Camillo suddenly became sad.
"Perhaps! I don't know, I'm just a single dog anyway, even if I die today, I don't have any nostalgia! It's like the saying I often heard in Huaxiaguo: 'Eighteen years later, I am also a good man!' So even if I want to die in battle, I will pull one more bastard British and American soldiers to bury Lao Tzu! ”
Ian? McShawn was optimistic.
"A single dog is good! Don't think about anything! ”
Camillo looked at Ian with envy? McShawn said.
Ian? McShawn shrugged his shoulders again, smiled slightly wryly, and did not answer.
But at this moment, the whimpering sound of a hand-cranked air defense siren resounded densely throughout the entire position like a life-threatening talisman, making all the German troops stare at the gray-black sky smoked by the smoke of the war in fear.
At this moment, a large number of small black dots, more and more turning into huge blackbird-like flying objects, were diving and bombing all German positions, or machine gun strafing.
"Oh my God! It's the British and American fighter and bomber groups attacking! Everyone, get out of the way! ”
See this, Camillo and Ian? McShawn immediately panicked at their men, shouting desperately.
