Chapter 908: Breakthrough
Affected by the power outage, there are only three shifts today. In a few days, the soldiers will have to be invigilated, and there may be two shifts in a few days, and there will be time to break out during the holidays.
**********
Under this mentality, the Japanese American troops suddenly saw a gap open after attacking the German line for a long time, and of course they were unwilling to give up this opportunity.
Colonel Takada immediately ordered on the walkie-talkie: "Immediately advance towards Moltre and save the friendly forces at all costs!" Again, at all costs! ”
Japanese-American troops were still in contact with the Germans on the front.
This was to hold back the Germans from reinforcing them or filling the gaps, and the offensive slowed down...... Since it is to hold off the enemy, there is no need to fight too fiercely.
A reinforced battalion of Japanese-American troops marched toward Moltre under the cover of two dozen tanks, and a fierce sound of gunfire and artillery immediately rang out in their direction.
Qin Chuan and the others still didn't move, they were waiting for the best time...... When the Japanese-American troops met with the besieged American troops.
This is generally considered to be the time when the morale of the U.S. military is boosted, but it is also the most difficult time for the U.S. military, or more precisely, the most difficult time for the Japanese American military.
The reason is simple, the American troops in the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 141st Regiment besieged in Moltre have basically lost their combat effectiveness, and there are still many wounded among them, which will become a burden on the Japanese American troops.
What's more, the Japanese-American military will do everything to protect the safety of these American soldiers...... On the battlefield, it is definitely much more difficult to save people than to kill them.
Finally, several red flares rose into the air, indicating that the Japanese-American troops had entered Moltre to join the besieged American forces.
Colonel Slein immediately ordered: "Do it!" ”
The first to rise into the sky was a row of flares, which clearly illuminated the dozen or so tanks that the US military had placed in front of the defensive line.
Taking advantage of this time, ME63 flew towards these tanks with whistling and wake...... In order to ensure that these tanks can be destroyed, each tank is arranged with two or three ME63s, and in an instant, the battlefield brings out a trail of wake, like the ribbons spilled at the opening of the ball.
Hearing a series of roars, the "Sherman" tanks were destroyed one after another and started a fire.
Immediately afterwards, a mortar shell smashed fiercely in the direction of the Japanese American troops, until the moment when the flares lost their light and fell to the ground, the 1st Infantry Regiment suddenly jumped from its hiding place and launched a counterattack against the Japanese American troops amid the cheers and encouragement of the German soldiers in front.
Prior to this, the German army had been pressed and beaten by the Japanese American army, so they did not expect that the German army would launch a counteroffensive, and the tanks responsible for covering or using them as cover were all destroyed in the first place, and there was a riot in an instant.
However, the fighting spirit of the Japanese American army is indeed extraordinary, if it were replaced by the American army, in this case, I am afraid that it would have fled long ago, but the Japanese American army reacted quickly after a short period of confusion, and then roared loudly and raised its bayonets to meet the battle.
The Japanese-American military has the capital to face the battle, they are good at close combat, night fighting, they are better at fighting bayonets, and more importantly, they have the courage to fight in close combat.
But this time they were wrong.
The first corps has been fully reequipped with STG44, and the penetration and fire continuity of automatic rifles are not something that can be withstood by crowd tactics, which was demonstrated as early as the Eastern Front when fighting the Soviet army.
As a result, after a burst of bullets, the Japanese-American soldiers fell to the ground like a stake, and after a row of grenades was thrown, the Japanese-American soldiers were blown up on their backs.
Qin Chuan also participated in this attack.
What is different from the past is that at this time, he has changed to STG44 in his hand.
Qin Chuan was not ignorant of the STG44, and he would also fiddle with this rifle with his subordinates in his spare time.
The battlefield follows a principle: at all times, you should choose the right equipment over the good ones or the ones you like.
For example, in this battle, it is predictable that there will be more melee combat and night combat, and it is still against a group of stabbing masters, if you choose a sniper rifle with a long range, slow rate of fire and a long barrel at this time, it is purely to find trouble for yourself.
STG44 is indeed a little unaccustomed to use, and even Qin Chuan sometimes habitually wants to pull the bolt after firing a bullet.
However, Qin Chuan knew that he had to learn to adapt, because this was the reality of the battlefield.
"Da Da Da!" A few bullets knocked two Japanese-American soldiers to the ground who rushed towards Qinchuan.
Unlike the repeating submachine gun, the STG44 uses just the right amount of intermediate power rounds.
If the power is too great, it will be like a machine gun, because the recoil is too great, and it is basically impossible to hold it in your hand and move forward while charging nimbly.
If the power is too small, it will be like a submachine gun, which has no penetrating power, and it is difficult to stop the enemy's crowd charge.
The intermediate power bullet can theoretically penetrate the bodies of three people, that is, the enemies who rush up in groups can be knocked down in three rows in an instant.
As it is now, Japanese American troops fell in front of the Germans, and some of them were knocked to the ground by bullets that passed through their bodies before they could even see where the Germans were.
"Reload!" Qin Chuan shouted, and Keller next to him immediately took Qin Chuan's place, holding the STG44 while shooting, and quickly pulled a grenade and threw it out in the gap between the battles.
Taking advantage of this time, Qin Chuan loaded the magazine to provide cover for Keller.
The Japanese-American troops finally collapsed under this tactic and overwhelming firepower of the Germans, and turned around and fled into the darkness like a tidal wave.
The Germans pursued them for a while, then turned west towards Heights 121.5.
The news reached Colonel Takada's command ten minutes later...... Ten minutes was needed because the routed Japanese troops simply did not have time to report to the command.
"What?" Colonel Takada, who received the call, asked: "The left flank of the 2nd Battalion was counterattacked by the enemy?" Order them not to retreat, and to die on the position, otherwise our rescue force will be surrounded by the enemy! ”
"Colonel!" The staff reported: "They have been routed, the Germans have launched a counteroffensive, they are very combat-ready, we cannot hold them back!" ”
Colonel Takada's face turned pale for a moment, and he knew what this meant, if the enemy was allowed to continue to attack the flank of the line of attack and expand the results, not only would the 442nd Regiment suffer heavy casualties, but the rescue force would be surrounded by the Germans again along with the besieged American troops.
The latter was the most important, because it would mean that the mission had failed, and Colonel Takada's hopes of exchanging the battle for the dignity and freedom of the Japanese were dashed.
Thinking of this, Colonel Takada gritted his teeth, took off the armed belt from the wall and buckled it for himself, and then stood up and said to the staff officer: "Fukuyama-kun, let the first battalion be ready for battle!" ”
"Colonel ......"
"I personally lead them!" Colonel Takada said, "If we can't win, bury us here!" ”
