So, just two days later, President Roosevelt couldn't bear it anymore and demanded that the American troops on the front line immediately attack under the threat of removing the commander of the army group and the next bunch of generals......

"This time, I wonder how many people are left?" Jerry looked at his subordinates with panicked and nervous expressions, and sighed slightly in his heart, but he still had to fulfill his duty, because going to the battlefield in such a state would only die faster, "Boys, cheer up!" After this battle is over, our main attacking troops will take a long vacation, and those who want to go home can go home, and those who want to find girls can go to girls, these days are all suffocated, right? ”

Tom, who was already half a veteran, whistled mischievously, and the faces of the GIs showed a lewd smile that a man could understand, but a young man named Henry suddenly squatted down and cried bitterly, "I don't have a home anymore!" ”

"By the way, he's the ...... who escaped from the west," Jerry thought of this, and was about to say a few words of comfort, when he saw that Henry suddenly raise his head and scold with a hideous face, "It's all those damn yellow-skinned monkeys!" First they robbed us of our jobs, and then drove them away, and now they dare to come back and take our land! It's just that he didn't kill the Indians like he did in the first place! ”

Jerry's comforting words were suddenly blocked in his heart, he wanted to tell Henry that there were actually not many people in the Chinese army who fought in the United States who had come to work in the United States, and most of them were from China, as for the extermination, there are more than 600 million people in China now, and the weapon, tactics and personnel quality of the army are only above the United States, but they are not comparable to the Indians who didn't even have iron weapons and war horses! Kill them all? Do you rely on your mouth to kill them all?

However, Jerry also knows that due to the textbooks of primary and secondary schools, most Americans actually don't know anything about the world outside Europe and America, and it is difficult to explain it clearly in a few words. But does the courage that comes from ignorance really work on the battlefield?

Hatred can indeed bring courage, in stark contrast to veterans like Jerry Tom who reacted immediately and lay down to avoid bullets, Henry still fought bravely even when the enemy was shelling, but courage could not let the flesh defeat steel, and only a few steps out, Henry was hit by shrunk after the explosion of a 105mm high-explosive shell, and half of his neck could no longer support his huge head, and he drooped weakly, And his body, which was rushing forward at full speed, suddenly lost all its strength and fell to the ground, and the bubbling blood quickly stained the ground below him a dark red......

Although it is not true because of the distance, Jerry still relied on his already very rich combat experience to determine that Henry has completely finished playing, he silently said "Amen" in his heart and continued to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, until he could no longer hear the explosion in his ears before he breathed a sigh of relief and got up, but he did not jump up again, because the first attack of the American army had already failed, and there was no need to issue an order from above, and to see how many people were left in his platoon, he could understand that they had completely lost their offensive ability, Sure enough, soon an order came from the rear to suspend the offensive......

In this way, the first attack of the US army did not even rush into the effective range of the 82mm mortar, and the three regiments involved in the attack suffered heavy losses, and the number of permanent attrition alone exceeded 3,000. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But this time it was a little different, and the surviving attackers like Jerry did not withdraw, but hid in the nearest crater according to the pre-battle orders, and then took out the small sapper shovel that he had brought with him and began to dig ......

It turned out that a very imaginative U.S. staff officer was inspired by the fact that some veterans were using the craters left by the shelling as improvised fortifications, and on this basis, combined with the abandoned sapper digging tactics, came up with a better solution.

That is, send people to attack first, it is best to attack the past, even if it fails, the enemy's artillery will definitely create a lot of craters, and the remnants of the American army will hide in the craters to hide, and they will no longer be afraid of the enemy's shelling, and then if the enemy's infantry does not counterattack, they will take out the small sapper shovels they carry with them to dig trenches on the side walls of the craters, and connect some of the craters, so as to realize the simultaneous construction of multiple people in disguise, and the excavation progress will be greatly accelerated, more than ten times, or even dozens of times possible, in that case, The previously rejected sapper tunneling tactics are now possible. Then, once it falls at night, the blasting method can also be implemented (if you can't build in multiple stages, you won't be able to produce qualitative changes, but if you can work in multiple stages, it's different.) The speed can be doubled or doubled.

By the time the forward positions of the U.S. troops finally approached within 2,000 meters, more than 10,000 American GIs had gone to see their God, and if you count the "missing," wounded, and sick, the total number was more than 100,000. As a rough estimate, the U.S. military lost half a platoon for every meter of advance, and it is no wonder that the survivors who participated in the battle later called the fortifications they dug up the "Corridor of Death" or "Avenue of Blood......

At this time, there was not a single casualty in the Heavenly Punishment Column, because the American artillery did not carry out suppressive shelling at all during this time. But such a good day has finally come to an end, with the digging of some fortifications in the rear, many US howitzers have been quietly stationed in it, as long as the US general offensive begins, they will be full of fire to provide support, American artillery is not afraid of death, just do not want to die worthless, so they have endured until now, as long as their sacrifice can help their side to achieve victory, they are fearless!

However, this real attack had nothing to do with Jerry and the others, who were allowed to withdraw to the rear to replenish and repair after completing the construction task at the risk of being shelled. After seeing the countless corpses and wounded carried down from the front line, Jerry took a deep breath and prayed silently, thanking God for his protection again, "Sure enough, it's good to be alive!"
