Chapter 240: The Classic Infiltration Battle (Part II)
Captain Redett was in a hurry, and he had to fill his line so that the Americans would not be given a chance. Judging from the sound, it was definitely not the sound of German-made weapons, but the sound of the M1 rifle and the American-made machine gun and submachine gun unique to the US military.
"Hurry up, damn it, we need to get the brothers out!" Captain Redett was a little angry, and the sound of the firefight could no longer be heard in front of him, and everything seemed to disappear. His bad feeling filled his entire chest. Parks, the name lingered in his mind again.
He ran deep and shallow on the snow, his chest felt like it was about to explode, he couldn't breathe, he just wanted to feel his line of defense as soon as possible, so that he could save his brothers in the platoon. Although this kind of running in the snow was the most physically exhausting, he couldn't care about it, and he kept shouting orders to every soldier on the road to speed up.
But he was nothing more than a prey, a helpless prey running around in the snow. In addition to tree accidents on the snow, there are more peeking prey eyes. And those who hold their prey to the death, they are leopards, as if they could tear their throats with their sharpest teeth at any moment and swallow them in one gulp.
The silence ahead was worrying, and a platoon of brothers might well have been killed, and Captain Redett had a rifle in his hand, and he was running ahead alone.
"It's close, it's close!" Parks' eyes looked at the running German soldier at the front, "Listen to orders!" He gestured, carefully adjusting the crosshairs, and the German soldier in front of him, he could see, if not an officer, but a non-commissioned officer, that only such a person would show such anxious emotions and rush ahead of his body.
Parks' eyes narrowed, and then he waited quietly for him to run past his side, and then his rifle made a crisp "bang" sound, and in the dark night, the muzzle of the gun was so dazzling, the bullet popped out, rolled in the air, as if it was still making a "buzzing" spinning sound, and then fell gently and silently on the snow.
There was a soft "poof", and as the gunshots rang out, Captain Redett's neck suddenly tightened, and he felt something tear his neck, and then something sprayed out. Others splashed in his mouth, salty, warm and sticky—it was his own blood, and that was his last thought.
Captain Redett's feet went limp, and he pounced forward with his running habitual surname, his hands in front of him, his hands loosened, and his rifle was thrown into the air, as if it were a bird fluttering to the end. He fell on the snow with a "poof", he fell, his whole face felt the coldness of the snow, and his body was trembling, the cold was like the snow of the snow, and it was about to merge together.
The death of Captain Redett did not stop the Germans, and their deputy company commander took over the command, but then the gunfire shone like stars in the woods along the side of the path they passed. Bullets rained down on the German ranks. The muffled sound of a bullet hitting a body and the screams were so clear and thrilling at night.
Parks ambushed the Germans on their way after all, and they also succeeded, the whole platoon of the Germans did not resist in the ambush circle, like a flock of ducks to be slaughtered, the battle went very smoothly, not leaving a single living mouth, even the Germans who knelt on the ground and surrendered with their hands raised did not escape the call of death.
It's not that the Germans are not strong in combat, it's not that their training quality is not high, but that under such an ambush, any unit can be completely annihilated and have no backhand.
"Clean up the battlefield!" Parks gave the order decisively, and then he shouted loudly, "Sergeant Goneri, take your men to the outpost to keep an eye on the movements of the German army!" Sergeant Martin, Sergeant Landaumann, you and your men are in order immediately, and the German reinforcements are likely to arrive, so we must be prepared with both hands. ”
Parks' two-handed preparation was actually very simple, if the German reinforcements were rushed from the line of defense of another company, then they had to retreat immediately and retreat to their own line, after all, the Germans still had a company in reserve. But if the German army transferred the reserves, then they would take advantage of the time when the German reserves came up to insert themselves into the inner line of the German army, and wreak havoc on the interior of the German army, preferably by destroying all their supplies.
The outpost soldiers of Goneri soon received news that the Germans were not coming from another line of defense, but from the rear of the German army. They were about a company of troops. That's great news! A smile tugged at the corner of Parks' mouth when he heard the news.
It is clear that the Germans have once again miscalculated. After the fierce exchange of fire between the two platoons of soldiers, there was no more news, and the liaison officer from Major Trischel saw the corpses all over the ground on the way, and they were all Germans, and he also saw the corpse of Captain Redett, who ran to the front, and he was lying on his stomach in the snow, and when he turned him over, his eyes widened as if he was unwilling.
"Two are finished!" When Major Treschel received the news, his mood suddenly fell to a low point, and it was evident that he felt sad and remorseful for his mistake. Damn American heat, they deceived themselves, they didn't dare to attack their own defenses openly, they were a bunch of clever cowards.
"Shall we send someone to help them immediately?" Captain Press looked at Major Trischel cautiously, he was a little uneasy in his heart, after all, Captain Redett's reinforcements were called by himself, and now without this matter, he is likely to become the target of Major Trischle's anger. But it was clear that he had guessed wrong, and Major Treschel had said nothing to him.
"No, no, we can't use the troops here." Major Trischl couldn't help frowning and thinking, "Lieutenant Rykel, immediately notify the reserve company to come up to the defensive line, let them fill the defensive line of Captain Redett, if it is occupied by the American army, immediately cover the defensive line with artillery fire indiscriminately, and tell the company commander Gagori that it is necessary to occupy the defensive line, otherwise we will lose our efforts." "Major Treschel showed his courage, after all, in such an unknown situation, the most important thing to do is to defend his own line, and then do nothing, holding the line is victory, and the day is about to dawn, the situation will become favorable to his side. It seemed that he had gotten rid of the initial confusion, and his mind was gradually becoming clearer.
But there's no way Parks is going to give him that chance. The German reserve company soon came up, they reconnoitred the front line of defense, there was no longer their own people, so they immediately contacted the rear artillery support, the German artillery with a piercing whistling sound, flew densely in the air, and then their line of defense was on fire, the Germans implemented dense artillery fire coverage on the entire company's defense line, trying to eliminate the American troops occupying there in one fell swoop.
Just when the German artillery fire covered the entire defensive line, Parks led a platoon of brothers to quickly insert towards the rear of the German army, they bypassed the German advancing company, and then easily eliminated the German sentry post, and the few troops left behind, less than a squad of supervised German troops.
Then they saw the German supplies, countless bottles of good wine, as well as the German supplies and military rations, and their thick blankets and military coats to protect them from the cold, all of which made the brothers blush.
"Goneri, hold here, let the brothers move as much as possible, if they can't move, we will blow them up, don't pity, we don't need to talk about them left to the Germans, their good days have come to an end!" Parks chuckled.
"Of course, sir!" Goneri smiled, "I'm the best at doing this!" Isn't it Toy? ”
Toy laughed behind him, "Of course, Goneri, you're a natural destroyer, I've got to stay away from you!" As soon as his words fell, he immediately caused a burst of laughter from his brothers.
Parks shook his head, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Guys, we still have one last vote, we are going to destroy all the Germans' artillery, they are firing now, their location has been exposed, guys, get on the truck, there are trucks here, let's take the Germans' trucks to destroy their artillery, if it succeeds, we will have a very comfortable life in the future!" ”
"Well, Boss, I can't wait!" At this time, Kaber, who had not made a sound, suddenly screamed.
"Oh, Karber, are you enlightened?" Not far from Kaber's side, Luz couldn't help but laugh, which immediately caused the brothers to burst into laughter. However, Captain Parks was right, if the German artillery was solved, then the weapons of the German army, which was the biggest threat to Company E and the most demoralizing, would be reimbursed, and when they were deployed again, I don't know when? At the very least, E has to have a good time.
Two trucks carrying the soldiers of Company E drove towards the German artillery position, and the German artillerymen did not realize that the Americans were able to break through so deeply, and were still coming towards them in their cars.
So when the American soldiers appeared in front of them, the unsuspecting German artillery was unarmed, and the only thing that awaited them was massacre. Parks's orders were very ruthless and did not leave prisoners, but the brothers of E Company could understand that at this time, they were like a group of red-eyed people, and this group of people did not know how many Germans were killed tonight, so they didn't care at all about these unarmed German artillerymen, they didn't have any troop cover, because the troops were on the line.
"Dynamite, destroy every cannon with dynamite, and Webster, plant explosives in their bomb stack, we leave in five minutes, and the bombs explode in ten minutes!" Parks' series of orders allowed the brothers to go about their things in an orderly manner. A series of explosions came, the German artillery was destroyed, and Webster's time bomb was set!
"Brothers, let's go pick up Goneri and them, there are what we need, and then take advantage of the opportunity for the Germans to return to the rear, let's go back!" The mission has basically been completed at this point, and if you can safely reach your own defense, it will be a classic infiltration operation.
Tactics flashing with ancient wisdom, such as movement warfare, ambush warfare, diverting the tiger from the mountain, and attacking the east and west, were used by Parks to shine very brightly in the European theater for the first time.
