Chapter 838: How Do You Want Us to Fight Such a Battle with a Disparity in Strength (Page 1/1)

After one dull explosion after another, one after another American soldiers staggered from the bunkers they had found in the vicinity, their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even the corners of their mouths were constantly gushing with blood, which was terrifying.

And at this moment, even without asking the doctor, ordinary soldiers can see at a glance that these soldiers who were bombed by the German artillery and became internally injured will not live long.

In fact, after being covered and hit by the fierce artillery fire of the German army, they did not have long to shed blood, and they were already lying in a pool of blood from their standing, and they were sleeping on the ground.

And these American soldiers who had just been killed by the bombing were soldiers belonging to the 34th Infantry Division of the US Army.

The 34th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army has the 133rd Infantry Regiment, the 135th Infantry Regiment, and the 168th Infantry Regiment; 125th Field Artillery Battalion, 151st Field Artillery Battalion, 175th Field Artillery Battalion, 185th Field Artillery Battalion, 109th Engineer Battalion, 109th Medical Battalion, 34th Cavalry Reconnaissance Detachment, 756th Tank Battalion, 760th Tank Battalion.

The U.S. 34th Infantry Division was transported by the U.S. Army to the area around the entrance to the Lili Valley with a powerful force of transport aircraft, ready to rest.

Originally, all the officers and men of the 34th Infantry Division of the US Army were elated, full of confidence, high spirits, and high morale for the successful parachute into Italy.

And they also wanted to meet the Germans right away and fight them to show how strong and powerful they were.

At the very least, the commander of the 34th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, Charles Brown, was the commander of the U.S. Army's 34th Infantry Division. Major General Ryder, on the orders of Alexander and other commanders, divided his troops into two routes, one way planned to penetrate into the area around the German-controlled village of Caila, from where he would break through the German defensive line and force the Lapido River to the south and seize the town of Cassino.

On the other hand, they were preparing to cross the mountains and cross the ridges north of the Maiola Mountains, and converge with other British and American troops on the West River, flanking the Gustav Line garrisoned by the Germans.

It's just that before the U.S. military wants to force the Lapido River, they must first cross a swamp.

Originally, there were bridges that could pass there, but who knew that they were all demolished by the Germans.

Moreover, the terrain and fortifications there were completely modified by the Germans, and it became a hard nut, exposing the American troops and attacks to the defensive crossfire of the German army.

In this regard, the division commander Charles J. Gustavus, who originally wanted to divide his troops to capture the German town of Cassino and the Gustav Line. Major General Ryder was instantly confused.

So at last he was ready to make up his mind to devote all his troops to storm the Lapido River.

It's just that after he had just organized his troops to start the attack, the German army's flying artillery group suddenly fell from the sky as if it didn't want money, bombing all the officers and men of his US 34th Infantry Division, or being blown into a lifeless corpse and losing his breath.

But even so, the division commander Charles · Major General Ryder still bravely commanded the 34th Infantry Division of the US Army under his command, fighting desperately against the German army.

Thus making Harry · The 756th Tank Battalion under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Swaiting, and the Cali Battalion under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Swaiting. The 133rd Infantry Regiment under the command of Colonel L. Marshall occupied the German garrison of the 213th Heights and an abandoned Italian barracks in the vicinity.

For such an unexpected record, after almost half of the casualties, the division commander Charles · Major General Ryder's face finally showed a glimmer of hope and excitement.

It's just that he hasn't been happy for long, and he knows the strength and number of the German troops who are fighting them.

They were the German 44th Grenadier Division, and the 71st Infantry Division.

"Oh my God! Why didn't Commander Alexander and Commander Eisenhower tell me that the Germans fighting my troops were two astonishingly well-armed and well-equipped divisions! ”

"And they also have a large number of air forces to carry out air raid and bombing support, as well as the artillery fire of the artillery division that has just emerged to cover the support of the operation!"

"With such a disparity in strength, how do you tell us to fight!"

"Is this the rhythm that you want me and my troops to die? Commander Alexander! Commander Eisenhower! ”

When the division commander Charles · Major General Ryder looked at the 213th heights that had just been occupied, and after being suddenly covered by the dense artillery fire of the German army, he stared at the bloody corpses of the American soldiers who had been killed by the bombing, and roared in disbelief.

But in the face of his irrational roar and invective, the German artillery fire covered the second round of attacks and came with a roar of indiscriminate bombardment.

Completely unscrupulous about the division commander Charles · Major General Ryder's heartbroken anger continued to bombard mercilessly.
