Chapter 841: Did They Promise to Send Troops to Support Us?

The hum of the engines of the US transport aircraft group and the explosion of the German artillery covering the weaker and weaker from a distance are intertwined, making the sound of the already tense and fierce battlefield battle also add a special war color, and make the whole battle a little more different war angles for people to watch.

But in the center of the entire battlefield, the entire main battlefield was still shaken by the bombardment of artillery shells from both sides, and these bombardments seemed to continue, as if they would never stop, and the debris and dust that were blown up fell on the bodies and heads of the American and German troops on the front line.

For the German bombing, the casualties of the 34th Infantry Division of the United States Army were very heavy, and after learning the accurate casualty data of his own troops, the commander of the 34th Infantry Division, Charles · Major General Ryder's heart was dripping blood and aching.

Because half of his troops had been wiped out by the Germans, and the remaining troops still had a lot of wounded soldiers mixed in.

The reason for such a situation was that the 34th Infantry Division under his command was fighting too hard; In order to attract the main attention of the German army and allow the rest of the troops to enter the Italian mainland smoothly and fight, he fought so hard and frantically with his troops and the elite units of the German army.

But even if the division commander Charles J. Major General Ryder, after witnessing the course and number of casualties of his own 34th Infantry Division, was still unacceptable.

Had it not been for the promise of General Marshall and Eisenhower to give his troops a replenishment of new recruits and reinforcements, I am afraid that the division commander Charles J. Major General Ryder would really withdraw his troops to the rear immediately.

Even if he doesn't retreat to the rear, he will feign defeat and retreat.

As for whether he will go to court-martialed in the future, he doesn't think about it, as long as he can save half of his 34th Infantry Division, then everything is easy to say.

Otherwise, once his troops are completely wiped out, then his fate and future will not be much better.

In other words, no matter how you do it, there will be no good end, so it would be more cost-effective to let more officers and soldiers survive.

And for the British and American forces, once the number of casualties exceeds half, then even if they lead their troops to surrender to the enemy, then it will not be a shame.

Because many generals do this, even the German army has such a general practice.

"We've all received our airdrop weapons and equipment, sir!"

"And the reinforcements sent by the 36th Infantry Division have also arrived at us, and are assisting our troops on the front line to carry the weapons and equipment that were airdropped by the supplies!"

Operations Staff Officer Delos hurried to the division commander Charles Brown, who was grieving the heavy casualties of his troops. Major General Ryder reported.

"And what is the situation of the German army now? Do they still continue to attack us with artillery cover? ”

Division Commander Charles · Major General Ryder asked rhetorically.

"All combat operations of the German army have been temporarily suspended, and our reconnaissance team is closely monitoring every move of the German army, and if there is any abnormal situation, it will be reported to the commander immediately!"

Combat Staff Officer Delos immediately replied.

"How many troops have been sent to us from above now?"

"And the 2nd Moroccan Infantry Division of Major General André Dodi, and the 3rd Algerian Infantry Division of Major General Joseph Guevaral Monsabel, our 2nd Army Commander, Major General Jeffrey Keyes, and the 36th Infantry Division and the 1st Panzer Division B Battle Group are all in contact?"

"Did they promise to send troops to support us?"

Division Commander Charles · Major Reed will continue to ask.

"The 36th Infantry Division has already sent a regiment of troops to us, the 141st Infantry Regiment that I just mentioned to you! Would you like to go over and meet their commander now? ”

Operations Staff Officer Delos continued to report.

"Good! Take me to meet them, and I also want to see what is going on at the front, why did the Germans suddenly stop attacking? ”

Division Commander Charles · Major General Ryder nodded in agreement.

"Yes! Sir! ”

Operations Staff Officer Delos also agreed while leading the way in front.

After that, the two of them immediately walked towards the front line, because they were not far from the front line, so they did not drive a car, and behind them was a large group of American soldiers protecting the division commander Charles · The safety of Major General Ryder.
