Chapter 308: Lucky Pete (I)

"Damn, who made this order!"

Pete cried out angrily: "We've been here for so long, and now we're going to make an attack on the German supply base of Carvason, God, what do they want to do?" ”

Heitie picked up the order and looked at it, and also frowned: "There are many Germans there, and once the 11th Brigade goes deeper, it will not be supported by artillery fire, and it may fall into encirclement." Pete, are you not arguing with reason? ”

"I've reported to my superiors three times." Pete looked very helpless: "But every time those damn bureaucrats always say to me, 'Pete, Mr. Colonel, this order'. Oh my God, the order? What can I do? ”

Black Iron shook his head.

Although the command of the US military has been perfected a lot as the war has continued, there are times when there is often naΓ―ve command that relies entirely on imagination.

Those staff officers who formulate combat missions rarely pay attention to the real situation on the front line, but like to lock themselves in their rooms, look at the map, and work out some ridiculous "plans".

When a plan fails, the staff officers begin to hurriedly formulate another new task that is completely unattainable.

But what can you do? The "bureaucrats" in Pitt's mouth, they always think that they are the most correct and wise

Although Pete was full of headaches, he still had to hand over the position to friendly forces to defend, and he took the soldiers of the 11th Brigade to start this "mission" that made people laugh and cry!

There was cover from the French on both wings, but the French were completely untrustworthy. From the very beginning of the war, they were like monkeys being driven here by the Germans and from there to there.

If there were no British, maybe now the whole of France would be flying the flag of the Germans!

And this damn road, full of potholes, and the soldiers stumbled and stumbled, and if you weren't careful, you could easily trip over those shell craters and fall into a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Cursing kept coming from the ranks, and if the superiors didn't break the law, then those guys in the staff would definitely be dragged out by the American soldiers and beaten hard!

There were some sporadic battles along the way, but none of them were fierce, and the Germans focused their main energies on the frontal battlefield and did not pay much attention to this small force.

To reach Carvaason, you had to pass through the Pechison Line, where there was a whole German division!

Even if Pete wanted to break his head, he really couldn't figure out how to use the strength of a brigade to fight an entire division of the Germans!

Did the soldiers have their hands strapped all over to blow up the German positions? God, as soon as you come up with this idea, you will be beaten into an eggplant by your subordinates.

"Colonel, there's a battle in Pechisen." Second Lieutenant Malone of the avant-garde company came over and said nonchalantly.

"Fighting? How can there be a battle there? Pete was a little baffled, so he asked someone to bring the map, and he looked at it for a long time and didn't see why.

Hell, Peachson wasn't the main battleground.

"How many people are attacking Pechisen? Our people, or the French? ”

"How do I know?" Marlon shrugged his shoulders: "The fight is very fierce, I don't want my people to die." ”

"Fucking should have sent you to a court-martialed to be hanged!" Pete scolded angrily: "Give me to get in touch with the attacking force immediately, or I will kick your ass and order you to charge!" ”

This obviously frightened Ma Long, and he quickly ran out.

Seeing all this, Hei Tie was really helpless, where are the soldiers, where is the war? It seems that victory and defeat have nothing to do with them!

"Hey, Colonel, I brought you the commander of the attacking unit!" About an hour later, Malone excitedly brought a colonel to Pete.

"Colonel Pete, 11th Brigade of the Army!"

"Colonel Danny of the 17th Brigade of the Army!"

Danny had apparently heard Pete's name: "Are you that miracle of Mipans, the insurmountable Pete?" ”

Pete was overjoyed that someone knew his "big name": "Danny, how did you get here?" ”

Danny couldn't answer this question:

"I can only blame the damn map, I'm going to Vignion, but God knows how I got here, the intelligence is a complete mess, I thought there were only a handful of Germans there, and I thought I would break through here with a charge, but when the attack began, I realized that there were far more Germans than I thought."

Pete agreed: "Yes, there is a whole division of the Germans there"

"A whole division?" Danny's eyes widened, "God, that's what your intelligence says?" Where is there a whole division, at most only one regiment of Germans! ”

Pete and Danny looked at each other, the information in the hands of the two people was completely different?

Before entering Europe, the US battlefield intelligence system had just been formed, and even those so-called battlefield intelligence personnel had not received any training at all.

The U.S. expeditionary force in France recognized this shortcoming and called the War Department to request that intelligence officers be sent to France before their division departed, so that they could attend special intelligence training courses. The course begins with a quick introduction to the front lines before moving on to the University of the General Staff of the United States Expeditionary Force in Langele, France.

However, the war has already reached this point, and it is really too late to pay attention to battlefield intelligence work. Some ridiculous and ridiculous "intelligence" also came into being.

Pete took the "information" provided to him by the intelligence department, looked at it hastily, and then angrily crumpled them into a ball and threw them to the ground.

"Where are you going?" Danny asked casually.

"Cavason." Pete replied curiously.

"That's just right." Danny became excited: "To get to Carvalzon, you have to go through here, Pete, take your men and do a favor and deal with those damn Germans!" ”

Except to help them, Pi especially had no choice.

The 11th Brigade soon joined the fray.

It was true that only one regiment of the Germans was guarding Pekisen, and after a fierce battle with the 17th Brigade of the American Army, the inferiority of the Germans was soon revealed:

There were serious problems with the supply of ammunition to them.

And look at those American GIs, who are desperately firing bullets and throwing grenades desperately without any scruples.

The German commander in charge of commanding the position, Marcian, was both angry and helpless. The Americans on the other side are not worthy of the army in their own eyes, but their ammunition is too unscrupulous. If he can have so much ammunition, Makean is fully confident that he will hold on to this for half a year or even longer.

But there is never a if on the battlefield

The U.S. military found out that the Germans were running out of ammunition and began to pounce. The German soldiers showed great bravery, and they continued to inflict heavy casualties on the Americans with the ammunition they had in their hands.

"Damn Germans," Danny mumbled as he held the binoculars.

Suddenly, his cursing stopped, and then he fell to the ground suddenly, the poor colonel, who had been hit by a stray bullet flying from nowhere!

"Danny!" Pete hurriedly picked up Danny: "Medical officer, medical officer!" ”

"God, it hurts." Danny's wound was bleeding profusely there, and he said in pain, "Pete, I'm going to die"

"Hell, hell, you're not going to die, you won't!" Pete shouted loudly: "Live, you must live, this damn war is coming to an end!" ”

A wry smile appeared on Danny's face:

"I can feel God calling me, Pete, promise me, take the opposite position, take the soldiers out, they deserve to live!"

Pete nodded with difficulty.

Danny smiled, then shook his body a few times before moving again.

The medical officer, who had arrived in a hurry, examined it, then shook his head regretfully at Pete and made a cross on his chest.

Putting down Danny's body, Pete stood up. Although he and Danny have just met, Danny is also a beautiful [***] official, why did he suddenly die like this?

This is the highest-ranking officer killed in action since the US military entered Europe.

"Pete." Black Iron patted Pete on the shoulder: "Now you are the supreme military commander here, you must concentrate the forces of the two brigades and unify the command, the Germans are running out of ammunition, go and occupy the position!" ”

Pete nodded slowly.

The battle was not raging, and the Germans, having exhausted their last bullet, sent an officer to negotiate.

The German commander, Makean, made some of his own demands that were not excessive, and Pete accepted them all. Subsequently, Makean laid down his arms with his troops, walked out neatly, and handed over the position to the Americans.

Pete has some regrets, and if Danny can hold on a little longer, maybe he will see victory.

He was either really lucky, with his own strength, or he couldn't break through the Pekisen line, but Danny and his 17th Brigade broke here by mistake because of the wrong map and wrong intelligence, and helped Pete consume the Germans' strength to the greatest extent.

However, the Pekisen Line is not its destination, it has only one destination:

Carvazon!

How many Germans are waiting for themselves there? A division? Two divisions? Or a lot of German divisions? Pete didn't have a bottom line at all about victory.

You can play as much as you can, at least you've done your best.

Pete comforted himself with this.

"In Carvazon, too, there is only one regiment!"
