There was a scream on the river immediately, drowning, burning, burning, and sinking when the amphibious boat leaked, and all kinds of chaos and all kinds of cries for help.

But no one could save them, because no one could extinguish the fire burning on the water, and the American soldiers on both sides of the strait could only watch their comrades struggle and wail in the sea of fire.

Only a few of them were lucky enough to swim to the shore, and the American soldiers rushed to extinguish the flames, but even then they would not survive for half their lives...... In fact, for both sides of the enemy, such wounded people were more beneficial to the German army, because they were not only unable to provide combat effectiveness, but also needed more care and supplies, such as medicine.

There was a cheer from the German soldiers, though most of them didn't know what was going on...... They thought it was just an accident caused by the US military during transportation, and some even thought that it was a mistakenly bombing by US artillery, because the German soldiers knew that their artillery was running out and could not provide such firepower, and more importantly, their own side did not fire shells.

But the soldiers, organized by Colonel Becker and directly involved in the production of "stake shells", soon spread the word one by one:

"That's what our guys did, they used the current to flow the shells to the enemy's transport river, and then there was this 'bombardment'!"

"It's a good way to make use of the old shells!"

"Who came up with that?"

"God, do you need to ask?"

"You mean 'Legendary Sergeant'?"

"Of course! No one would have come up with such a solution but him! ”

……

Then there was another cheer from the German camp.

This is a very strange phenomenon, because it makes no difference who came up with this solution, and the result is to deal a blow to the US amphibious landing ship force and block the river and cut off the US transportation line.

But this method is that Qin Chuan came up with it, which made the cadets even more excited.

Qin Chuan didn't know how to explain this phenomenon, maybe it was a star effect, or maybe Qin Chuan did not live up to the expectations of the cadet soldiers, and even more, the cadets believed that no matter what difficulties they encountered in the future, the "legendary sergeant" could find a simple and practical way to deal with them.

So, in this mentality, they have the mentality of victory.

It's strange to fight a war sometimes, and if everyone believes that they can win the battle in the end, then the battle really has a little more hope of victory.

On the other hand, if everyone does not think that the battle will be won, then it will be very difficult to win.

The baker also had this mentality when he reported to Qin Chuan on the phone.

"They've stopped attacking, Lieutenant Colonel!" The baker said, "I knew you were going to figure it out, and they believed it!" ”

What the baker didn't say was ...... It is because they firmly believe in this that they are not discouraged when they are isolated, on the contrary, they can fight desperately against enemies who are several times more powerful.

Otherwise, at this time, the island of Shanbir would have been captured by US armored forces long ago.

The news soon reached the command of the 3rd Army.

"General!" The staff officer hurriedly handed the phone to Patton and said: "Our transport unit has suffered heavy casualties under enemy bombardment!" ”

"Bombing?" Barton, who was bending down to look at the map, replied without raising his head: "They won't have any bombing, our artillery and planes have been waiting for them for a long time!" Tell them that they can transport with confidence, and that the German artillery will give them back ten rounds as long as they fire one shell! ”

"But the general ......," said the staff officer, "we can't pay it back!" ”

"No way or what do you mean?" Barton looked up at the staff officer, and the first thing that came to his mind was that these guys must be talking about a joke, or that it was that stupid April Fool's Day.

"General!" The staff officer replied: "Their shells were not fired by artillery, but floated down the river from upstream!" ”

Barton couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Floated down?" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer replied: "They tied the shells to the stakes and threw them into the river...... I believe they put a time-delay fuse on the shells, which made them explode automatically when they drifted to our landing site! We lost thirty amphibious landing ships as a result! ”

Barton's face changed, and then he immediately found the river on the map, walked up the river, pointed to a point, and said, "Little Solcy Island?" ”

"Yes, Little Solsi!"

"These bastards!" Barton couldn't help but scold.

"Colonel Nathan reports that they don't have enough ammunition to launch an attack on Shanbir Island!" The staff officer then reported.

"Let the convoy carry on!" Barton said.

The staff officer immediately conveyed the order, but after a while the staff officer replied: "Colonel Torres refuses to carry out this order, he thinks it will only cause senseless casualties!" ”

"You tell him that this is my order and must be carried out!" Barton almost slammed the table and yelled.

Patton's orders seemed to be justified, as he knew what it meant if supplies didn't get through...... An armored regiment that landed on the east bank of the Moselle River, more than 100 tanks and an infantry regiment would not only be unable to complete the assigned task of taking the island of Chambir, but would be surrounded by the Germans due to insufficient supplies.

What's more, it was all Barton's fault.

The order reached Colonel Torres, and he was in trouble.

After thinking about it, Colonel Torres ordered: "Ten amphibious landing ships in a group, pass when it is safe to be on alert upstream!" ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

Torres's method was also very simple, let a few soldiers equip walkie-talkies to reconnoiter upstream, see that there were no wooden stakes flowing down the river, and then ten amphibious landing ships took advantage of this gap to pass quickly.

This, although this greatly reduces the volume of transportation, ensures the safety of the amphibious landing vessel.

But the situation was not as simple as Colonel Torres thought.

There are constantly wooden stakes floating down above, some will blow up and some will not, and reconnaissance will not work at all......

There is no need for Qin Chuan to prompt this, it is a method spontaneously thought up by the German soldiers, and it is aimed at the tactics of the US army to reconnoiter and then pass quickly.

To put it simply, the German soldiers almost constantly threw wooden stakes into the river.

Of course, some are fake, some are true...... The fake ones are not tied to the shells, and there are really tied shells.

But no one can tell the difference when thrown in the water, and it looks almost the same on the surface.

This is a perfect interpretation of the phrase "the road is high and the devil is high".

There was a battle of wits and courage on the battlefield, but it was clear that the Germans had the upper hand.
