Pete's troops had been holding out here for three whole days.

God can attest to how hard the Americans fought here.

Pitt and his 6th Regiment were facing several times the size of the Germans and a large number of concentrated artillery fire. On the first day, the American GIs almost collapsed, but miraculously, they withstood it.

The command of the US military is so chaotic that it is unbelievable.

While the 6th Regiment was struggling to hold on, the troops, which were supposed to break through the Germans on both flanks, inexplicably gave up the attack after several unsuccessful attacks, and inexplicably turned to attack other positions.

Pete and his 6th Regiment were inexplicably forgotten troops.

But Pete and his soldiers didn't know it.

Before accepting the task of defending the "Mipans position", no one explicitly told Pete how long he would hold out and what the specific plan for the entire combat mission would be.

The command couldn't be simpler:

"Lieutenant Colonel Conwell, S. Pitt, you and your lads have done so well before, and now, with you, the men of Mippens, hope you are just as brave."

Pete didn't ask too many questions, so he came here with his soldiers, and has been fighting here until now.

The casualties of the soldiers were heavy, and some of the seriously wounded wailed there in pain for a while before finally taking their last breath

There has not yet been any order down. Do you want to hold on, or do you want to fucking pull it down?

Black Iron always felt that something was not right.

Here, although it is claimed that there is a regiment, in fact there is only one battalion at most, and they are facing an enemy several times their size, and they have held out until now, and the two wings should have news anyway.

But now, the Sixth Regiment seems to have been completely forgotten.

Speaking of which, in fact, the sixth regiment is not "like", but really forgotten. The U.S. 2nd Division simply ignored Pitt's troops.

The flanks had already attacked in the direction of Mano and Chewinter, which completely overturned the previous line of operation, and the 6th Regiment knew nothing about it, so that no one came to inform them.

Thus, they became:

Alone!

But although Heitie was puzzled, he would never have imagined that the Americans' command system would make such a shoddy, even unthinkable, mistake.

Their commanders, like the soldiers, were also on the battlefield for the first time, and the level of confusion and incompetence was shocking, and they really dared to forget that there was a troop of troops!

The Germans came up again, and Pete shouted to his officers and enlisted men, and regained his spirits and entered the position.

On several occasions, Pete wanted to simply abandon his position, but every time he went to consult Heitie, the Chinese always said to him:

"When I came to Europe, my mission was to protect your safety, and Heng Shuai also told you that you can choose to surrender if necessary, I know that surrender is not a shameful thing in your opinion, but I don't think so. Soldiers, obedience always comes first, maybe if you persist a little longer, you will be able to become a hero. ”

Pete would love to be a hero.

When he took over the unit, he found that the fighting qualities of the soldiers were unimaginably inferior, so he boasted to them about his various "heroic deeds" in China, telling them that the Chinese liked him so much as a "young, brave, and upright" American boy.

Well, it's time to put the American lads to the test!

Pete then picked up a machine gun himself, and shot indiscriminately in a language that no one understood!

The ghost knows how long he will continue to hold out here, and the ghost knows what the intentions of the headquarters are.

It's easy for Black Iron to say anything to himself, so let yourself and the soldiers fight for honor

Command of the American Expeditionary Force.

Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, Interim General of the U.S. Army, John Brown. Joseph. Pershing's eyes were fixed on the map, not blinking.

The Germans attacked with great ferocity, but there was also a decline, just not too noticeable!

But the current situation made Pershing a little frustrated, and the officers and soldiers under him were too inexperienced. Only one in six officers had pre-war experience in the Army or the National Guard. Relying on these officers often makes it impossible to achieve the operational goals set by the command.

The situation now is that the American troops attacking in the direction of Mano and Chevent have indeed broken through, but the experienced Germans have quickly completed the encirclement.

The assault of the American army is surrounded! They're struggling there, but maybe not much longer.

This made Pershing very nerve-wracking. The encircled American troops must be rescued.

But where to start?

"Your Excellency, General." A staff officer walked in: "I just got the information, in the Mipans Line, there is still fierce fighting, and it seems that there are still our troops there who continue to fight!" ”

"Mipans?" Pershing looked back at the map in disbelief and looked there for a long time: "No, it's impossible, hasn't the second division already been defeated?" ”

"General, our troops are indeed still fighting!" The second staff officer hurriedly walked in, just in time to hear the words of His Excellency the Commander: "There is the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division, the commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant Colonel Conwell S. Pitt, they have not received the order to retreat!" ”

"God!" Pershing let out an exclamation: "When did the 2nd Division retreat?" ”

"Three days ago!"

Pershing's shock was completely written on his face: "Three days ago? The 6th Regiment held out for three whole days there? What is their commander called? ”

"Conwell, S. Pete!"

"God bless him!" Pershing turned back suddenly: "Mipans still has our army, hell, there is still our army there, Mipans did not completely fall into the hands of the Germans!" I beg the British and French forces to continue their assault at once in the direction of Mano and Chewinter, echoing our besieged forces. Order, the 9th Division, the 11th Division, immediately reinforce Mipans, launch a counterattack, and tear a hole in the center of the Germans! ”

"Yes!"

Pershing's heart is tense and excited, a shocking twist! The Americans are still holding out in Mipans!

Miracle, this is a miracle, but isolated and helpless, an American army held out there for three whole days. Pershing couldn't think of how they did it!

They faced the elite German army several times their own, and the entire second division was attacked, but Pete held on there with this small force!

Now that the attention of the Germans is drawn to Mano and Chewinter, the opportunity has come!

If reinforcements can be sent up in time, then a big hole can be torn in the central part, and victory is already within reach!

"Mipans's machine," Pershing muttered

"Lieutenant Colonel, G Company needs reinforcements!"

"Hell, I don't have anyone to give them, tell Ogubas, let him hold me to the death!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, little George is wounded, oh my God, he's gone."

"Hell, take him to the back and make him hold on, God, Gais, Gais! Where the fuck are you, hurry up and press the Germans back for me! ”

The shouts from the position were chaotic.

This is the fourth day that the 6th Regiment has held out here.

Half of the American soldiers had been killed or wounded, and the positions had been broken several times, but relying on the bravery of where the heavens came from, the Americans actually drove the Germans back again.

But the situation is really not good, and the 6th Regiment has reached the end of its strong crossbow.

Several times he was tempted to surrender or flee, but Pete reluctantly suppressed the thought each time.

Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, and a miracle will happen

The miracle really came!

When the 6th Regiment couldn't hold on any longer, a miracle was born!

A large number of American reinforcements came up and launched a counterattack against the Germans with the Mipans Line as a support point.

After four days of attack, the attacking German troops were already exhausted, and they could not believe that the entire main force of the American army had collapsed, but a small American unit had been fighting here for four whole days.

Such a small position, but cut off the Germans' dream of victory!

A large number of American soldiers appeared, and they rushed forward with a roar.

Won? Is it really a victory?

Pete and Black Iron sat on the ground tiredly, the guns were thrown far away, and they didn't seem to hear the sound of guns and shouts of killing, all of which had nothing to do with them.

"I'll go home too," Pete said tiredly.

"I want to too" Hei Tie looked at the wound on his left arm: "The war is over, I must go back and never stay here again." ”

"Conwell, S. Pete!"

"Here!" Pete reluctantly stood up.

An American general appeared at the position surrounded by a large number of staff officers, officers, and journalists, and Pitt recognized him, Pershing, the commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Force!

"Your Excellency, General!" Pete saluted, but was weak.

"Miracle, miracle of Meppens!" Here are the first words that Pershing said: "Lieutenant Colonel Pete, you have performed a miracle, it is unbelievable, and I salute you on behalf of the General Command of the Expeditionary Forces, you have created all this for our victory!" ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Pete said, but now all he wanted to do was punch his chief in the nose.

"In the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force of the United States of America, I promote you to colonel, Colonel Pitt!"

"Thank you!"

The spotlights of the surrounding reporters clicked.

The miracle of Mipans, the invincible Pete and so on and so forth.

Such a title appeared in all the newspapers, and all Americans cheered for such a miracle.

An American Hero Was Born:

Conwell.S. Pete!
