"We are the 442nd Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army, and we were ordered to come to support Moscow, and I am the regimental commander, Kelite." The lieutenant colonel, who was also short, spoke English, and, in a strange tone, compared to orthodox American English.

Kolit saluted the Soviet staff officer in front of him.

Kurasov looked at this short guy and remembered those enemies he had encountered in the Battle of Nomenkan, this must be a race, I really didn't expect that the Americans sent them over?

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, not far from the railway station, there was a deafening sound, this was a large-caliber howitzer, when it exploded, the glass of the entire railway station was shattered in a loud noise, and the vibration on the ground came, making everyone's face change.

"The Germans have approached the outskirts of our Kalinin." Kurasov said: "Now, please go into battle at once, and I will send someone to take you to the position." ”

Kurasov looked at this group of guys, he didn't know how effective they were, but just after a shot, they didn't panic and ran around, and they looked pretty good.

"Yes." Lieutenant Colonel Collett shouted to those behind him: "Follow me, we will immediately go into battle and kill all the enemies!" ”

"Kill all the enemies!" Everyone shouted loudly, raising their weapons aloft in their hands.

They were dressed in U.S. uniforms and armed with the same size as the U.S. troops, with Lee-Enfield rifles making up the majority, followed by Browning machine guns, and in their crowd there were soldiers carrying cylindrical objects.

The 442nd Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army is composed almost entirely of Japanese Americans, and they mainly have the 100th Independent Infantry Battalion, the 522nd Artillery Battalion, and the 232nd Combat Engineer Company.

Among them, as the main force is the 100th Independent Infantry Battalion, the backbone of this independent infantry battalion is mainly the second generation of Japanese Americans in the US military, who originally served in the 298th and 299th National Guard Infantry Battalions in Hawaii.

When Pearl Harbor broke out, most of these Japanese soldiers were dismissed from the military and classified as Class 4-F (unfit for service) or Class 4-C (enemy aliens).

However, the dismissed soldiers petitioned the U.S. Army commander in Hawaii, General Emmons, for permission to join the war preparations, and eventually, about 1,300 Japanese Americans were trained and named the 100th Separate Infantry Battalion. Later, on the basis of this separate infantry battalion, the 442 Infantry Regiment was formed.

As a sign of determination, the motto of this infantry battalion was "Don't forget Pearl Harbor."

At that time, their enemy was the island nation, but now that Germany is also at war with the United States, especially the recent capture of Iceland and the elimination of two American Marine divisions, they are even more angry, and now they are full of energy.

Groups of soldiers marched towards the front line, and at this time, their small stature was something to look down on.

"Hey, which part of you are from?" As soon as they left the train station, at the intersection, a sentry shouted at them, and even the sentry raised his gun and aimed at them.

It's not to blame the sentinels, these people are so weird.

At this time, Ensign Glevich, who was in charge of leading the way, immediately greeted: "This is our reinforcements, they are on the battlefield." ”

They all knew Ensign Grevich, and looking at Grevich at this time, they couldn't help but say: "Just this group of marmots, still fighting?" ”

Most of the Soviet soldiers were also tall and large, and only a group of tank crews recruited from Central Asia were short. And now, seeing this group of little ones, they are extremely contemptuous.

This title of marmot came to the entire Kalinin Military District almost the same day.

The marmots didn't take care of this stubble, and for them, they had a more important thing, which was to prove their loyalty with their own blood!

"Boom!"

"Boom!" When they drove along the communication trench outside Kalinin to the position, there was already a sea of fire in front of them, and the whole position seemed to have been plowed.

"This is the MLRS of the Germans, in general, after such a massive covering strike, they went on the offensive." Second Lieutenant Grevich said: "Now wait until their artillery fire is over, and then we will go up." ”

In the traffic trench behind, the ground could also be felt violently, and the commander of the 100th Independent Infantry Battalion, Hayassi, poked his head out and looked into the distance with his high-powered binoculars.

If there are no suitable fortifications, this artillery fire could wipe them out.

Before going to the battlefield, they were already mentally prepared, but when they saw this scene, they still couldn't help but sigh, the German artillery fire was too fierce, how did the Soviets support it?

"You don't have to look at it, you can't see anything." Grevich silently lit a cigarette, "This level of shelling, we can encounter every day, this is not the most terrible, what is terrible is the tanks of the Germans, once their tank units launch a charge, with the cooperation of the infantry, we have no other choice but to die on the position." ”

You can't take a step back, it's a dead order.

They really have no way to retreat, because Moscow is in the rear, their capital, and they have to fight to the death here.

These days, their defensive line is constantly shrinking, and every time a position is conquered, it means that all the defenders on the position are killed, and in order to fight the German tanks, they even strapped explosives to their bodies and rushed to the tanks.

It's a pity that it's useless, the infantry next to the tank will use dense bullets to strafe and protect the surroundings of the tank, these days, almost everyone has no confidence in the war, and there is no choice but to die.

These American reinforcements, in the same way, will be consumed on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, he actually felt some sympathy for this group of groundhogs, this is not their country after all, but they are all going to die here.

"Tanks of the Germans? Well, we must take out the tanks of the Germans! "We immediately organized death squads, went out of position, ambushed the German tanks in their path, and then killed them!" As soon as the shelling was over, we immediately began. ”

Kill the tanks of the Germans? Hearing the words of these marmots, Grevich couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to use to take out the German tanks?" ”

Against tanks, either your own tanks or anti-tank guns.

Due to the extreme shortage of fuel, the number of tanks they could move was very small, and most of them had to be used as fixed pillboxes, which were easier to destroy by the Germans, and as for the anti-tank guns, they had to survive the covering shelling of the Germans first, and then they could have a chance to fire, and then they would be killed by the German tanks.

In short, they consume a lot.

Now, what means do these new reinforcements have?

"We have this." Hayasi patted the cylindrical thing he had brought.
