On December 25, after the German bombing last night, the commander of the German army, von ? General Mandolfil ordered the commander of the 47th Army, General Lütwitz, to attack. Although they knew they didn't have enough strength to push the 101st Airborne Division back, they still wanted to use last night's bombardment to push the line forward and eventually drive the Americans out of Bastogne.

Major Trescher was once again replenished by personnel, and they suffered huge losses in that operation infiltrated by the American army, and the supplies and ammunition were blown up and looted by the American army, and their vitality was greatly damaged, so that for a long time, they could only watch the American troops move, and he could only retreat in the defensive line, not daring to take the initiative to attack, even if he sent a patrol, only to patrol closely near the defensive line to prevent the Americans from infiltrating again.

The day before Christmas Eve, they replenished two companies to form a reinforced company. Although these two companies were regrouped from the German troops that had been crippled by the front-line troops, there were also many veterans of many battles, much better than the new recruits. The supplies and ammunition have been replenished again, but they still lack artillery, since the artillery was destroyed by the American army, they have never been replenished in time, the German army is now in a passive state, many artillery pieces were destroyed by the American army and could not be replenished. But they had three No. 4 tanks at their disposal. But Major Treschel did not have the slightest confidence in this attack.

While Gordon was brewing coffee on the defensive line, the Germans were already preparing to attack. A faint roar came from the woods opposite, and the German tanks gradually revealed their hideous faces. The turret was pointed directly at the line of defense of Company E. But they weren't ready to do it right away, and Major Treschel was cautious, and he was no longer blindly optimistic. He doesn't feel like he's crowded just because he's outnumbered. Standing behind the turret of the tank, he observed the movements of the American line with a telescope.

"God, the Germans have sent so many people this time. Looks like we're going to have a busy time again! As he ran, Spina said to Doctor Luo beside him, "Eugene, you go to the left, I'm on the right, don't be hit by the Germans with one shot of two medical soldiers, then the brothers will be miserable!" ”

"Okay!" Doctor Law nodded, and sped towards Gordon.

Sergeant Lip kept running through the woods and reminded his brothers: "Don't shoot, don't be fooled, don't reveal your location!" He was like a flustered fox running and being chased by a tiger, which was what Gordon had said to him after the battle, but Lip couldn't agree with him at all, he just said that he was a little impatient.

"Don't shoot, everyone, stand by!" At this time, there were people shouting loudly on the defensive line again, and the commanders and non-commissioned officers of each platoon were restraining their brothers.

"Hey, Lip, what are we going to do to fight those iron guys?" Guarelis yelled at him, "Have we run out of can openers?" God, I don't want to rush at that damn thing with explosives! ”

"Brothers, we use explosives!" Captain Parks appeared on the defensive line, he kept shouting reminders, and then he saw Lip, "Lip, gather the non-commissioned officers and have them prepare the sticky bombs." ”

"Yes, sir!" Li Pu quickly beckoned to the non-commissioned officers who were squad leaders.

"Lutz, contact the battalion headquarters immediately, no matter what I can do, get some engine oil for the shaft, the sooner the better! Also let the Welsh lieutenant send some explosives, TNT, and the fuse, yes, be quick! Parks commanded quickly, and then he saw the non-commissioned officers quickly gather towards him.

"Okay, guys, do you know what's going on with the Sticky Bomb now?" As soon as Captain Parks met, he asked loudly, "Lip, you know what?" ”

"No, I don't know!" Lip shook his head.

"Okay, watch me do it!" Captain Parkes nodded, and at this moment someone brought in a jeep barrels of engine oil, as well as TNT explosives from Wales by the way. Parks took off his socks and filled them with explosives piece by piece, dipping the socks filled with explosives into the oil before attaching the fuse.

"Look at it, this thing sticks where it is! With this to blow up the tracks of German tanks, the best weapon at that time, at least at this stage! Parks clapped his hands and said, "This is something that has been mentioned in the battlefield manual, look at it, knowledge changes fate!" ”

"Oh, this is such a good thing!" The bull Landowan laughed, and then began to take off his socks and fill them with explosives.

"Hurry up, guys, the Germans won't give us enough time to prepare, I ask every platoon, every squad to have these things ready, and then we wait for the German tanks!" Parks clapped his hands and said, "Go get ready, guys!" As soon as his words fell, a shell suddenly shot out of the German tank.

"Boom!" A large crater was blown out around them, and it was clear that the Germans had discovered the place where the crowd had gathered.

"Hide, hurry up, all go back to their own cover!" Parks lay on the ground and yelled, "Don't forget to contribute your socks." ”

The German tanks trembled in the roar and began to move towards the line of line of Company E. Behind the tank, two companies of Germans were advancing with the tank.

"Guys, don't get excited, wait for the tank to get closer, we'll use sticky bombs!" The big bull Randolphan clinged to the observation port of the bunker, loudly reminding the brothers in each bunker, "Meliot, cover me when I still bomb!" Bull Landauman said, staring intently at the tank that was heading towards his bunker.

"Sergeant, will the tanks run over us?" Meliot panicked.

"No, don't worry about this, I'll make him uncomfortable!" Landowman said that the tank had slowly driven in, and stopped, turning the turret, the muzzle of the gun pointed at Landowman's bunker.

"Big Bull!" Sergeant Martin on the other side saw all this at the bunker observation port and couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Boom!" The tank body trembled, and fired a shot at Landaman's bunker, blowing up the top cover of the bunker, and the wood fell one after another, Landauman cursed, damn it, and then the whole person rolled out, he pulled a handful of Meliot, and the two of them quickly climbed out of the bunker, if the tank car was shooting a few shots at the bunker, then they would be finished. If it was just an ordinary bunker, the first shot would be enough to take out the two of them.

"Meliot, go to Sergeant Martin's bunker!" The bull Landowman yelled at Meliot and ran as fast as he could. And Martin saw the muzzle of the tank again as Randolphin turned.

"God, damn it!" With a curse, Martin quickly climbed out of cover and ran towards the tank, throwing his own grenade at the tank. Rumble! exploded in front of the tank.

The German tanks were clearly aware of Martin's presence, and the driver in it decided to abandon Landaumann, and the muzzle of the gun shifted to Martin. At this time, Landaman had already thrown the sticky bomb that had ignited the fuse into the tank's tracks.

"Smack!" With a bang, the tracks of the German tank were glued.

"Boom!" At the same time, the tank fired, but because it was too hasty, the shell did not hit, but the wave of air knocked Martin to the ground, hit the ground with a hard butt, and fell to the ground, unable to move.

"Damn it!" Martin scolded, and when he raised his head, he was horrified to find that the German tank had adjusted its muzzle this time and aimed it directly at him, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and when he was about to scold, he heard a loud noise.

The sticky bomb exploded, the tracks of the tank were blown up, and the tank car suddenly fell and did not move in place. The Germans didn't bother to bombard Martin, and one of the drivers opened the turret roof and tried to get out, but the bull climbed onto the roof of the car, hit the head with a shot, and fell down, and then the bull threw a grenade inside!

Dull explosions were heard inside the tank, as well as several screams from the Germans. The bull Landauman didn't care much, he ran towards Martin, helped him up, and examined him.

"I'm fine, I'm okay, big bull! It's just that my ass hurts! Martin barely stood up. The bull helped him to move quickly towards the bunker, and the Germans behind the tank spotted them and began to shoot at them. Bullets "whizzed" over their heads and around them, sending branches flying continuously.

"Oh God!" When Da Niu dragged Martin down, his ass hit the ground again, and he couldn't help but scream again, "Da Niu, damn it, do you want to murder me?" The next time you dare to do something like that, I'm expected to save you again! ”

"Okay, okay, but I'll have to say hello to the Germans first!" The bull said, grabbing his rifle and staring closely at the defensive line, the Germans were already attacking with the tanks.

Another "boom" was heard, and someone shouted: "I blew it up, tank, I blew up the tank!" "It was clear that another German tank had been blown up by a sticky bomb and the tracks had been blown up, and the remaining one, seeing that the situation was not good, began to push back, and he tried to distance himself from the line of defense of Company E, and then fired at a distance.

But as soon as the tanks retreated, the attacking infantry of the Germans was overwhelmed. While they were hesitating whether to retreat with the tanks, Company E's counterattack began. Dense fire swept over the attacking German infantry like a rainstorm. The biggest advantage of Parks' bunker is that the attacking side has no escape under the blow of crossfire.

This German offensive was very unsuccessful. They lost two No. 4 tanks, and two companies of infantry also suffered more than thirty casualties. Eleven people died. This made Major Trischl even more cautious. He also knew better that the defense line of the American army, which had not been captured by the two battalions plus seven or eight Tiger and No. 4 tanks, could not be broken by himself.

But he was given the order that he must attack, until he knew to repel the American army!
