Eight hundred and ninety-four. Fabaman's counterattack

Reinforcements have finally arrived!

When the cannon sounded and it was learned that it was the artillery fire of the reinforced troops, the German officers and soldiers in the entire Fabaman battlefield instantly broke out in earth-shattering cheers.

Hard waiting, hard waiting, everyone is working hard for this moment.

Fabaman is bound to become a battlefield that everyone will never forget!

Wang Weiyi shot all the bullets in the magazine, and then smiled at the cheering battlefield, and he knew that the equally invincible German hero Manstein had once again succeeded.

In January 1966, after the Franco-Bamanish Germans had struggled to hold out, the 6th SS Northern Mountain Division was the first to arrive on the battlefield, and a large number of German troops followed.

There was hardly any delay, and all the German troops who had reached the Fabaman battlefield immediately threw themselves into the general attack.

The U.S. 9th Panzer Division was completely unprepared, and they were on the offensive side a minute ago, but they quickly turned into the defending side.

The German reinforcements to Fabaman, the German soldiers and Bulgarian soldiers who had resisted in Fabaman, launched an all-out counteroffensive throughout the city.

Manstein and his German Middle East Corps, which had been hidden for a long time, finally no longer had to hide any strength, and in the sky, a large number of German aircraft formations suddenly appeared; On the ground, it was the artillery fire of the German retaliation; The battlefield is the torrent of steel in Germany.

It's a day that Americans will never forget...... On this day, the counterattack, codenamed "Nemesis", kicked off in Fabaman......

The first to suffer was the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Panzer Division.

The luck of this infantry regiment was really not good, not so long ago. Their regimental commander, Colonel Nesco, was unlucky enough to be killed by the Germans. Before General Roshin could appoint a new regimental commander for them, German reinforcements arrived.

Directly facing them was the 1st Assault Brigade of the SS 6th Northern Mountain Division SS Aldridge.

When the members of Aldridge's commandos. Knowing that their Northern Mountain Division was the first to enter Fabaman, their inner excitement was difficult to express in words.

They decided to be the first to fight back and greet their companions beautifully.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a large number of German soldiers emerged from their hideouts, their weapons spewing tongues of fire, and strings of bullets sprayed at the enemy on the opposite side.

A small group of U.S. troops is trapped in a dilapidated building, and they have a tank to use as a steel fortress. The Germans on the offensive had no way for the time being.

But at this moment, a "Leopard VII" suddenly appeared, and it didn't even need the request of the infantrymen. This "Leopard VII" took the initiative to go on the offensive.

"Boom-boom-" twice, and the cannonball flew out of the barrel of the cannon in a terrible way.

This is not the old German-made tanks that were in Fabaman before, but the most advanced "Leopard VII.", which far surpasses the American M1 tank in all kinds of performance!

In front of the power may not necessarily be "Leopard VII". The M1, which was sheltering the U.S. military replenishment, suddenly lost its combat effectiveness......

The German soldiers cheered again...... And the muzzle of the "Leopard VII" patrolled majestically. Machine guns spread a powerful net of fire throughout the battlefield.

The American soldiers hiding there let out a wail, and one by one they fell...... Some people want to escape, but under such a blow, where can they run?

It was a tragic day for this group of American soldiers......

In just a few minutes, there was not a single American alive......

Colonel Van Sten could finally breathe a sigh of relief. You must know that his responsibility is not simple, in addition to dragging down the Americans here, he also has to ensure the safety of Lord Alecson.

Baron, if anything goes wrong. He would have become a German sinner......

Fortunately, such a terrible situation would not have happened!

Colonel Van Sten and all the troops under his command threw themselves into the attack...... The battle was so wonderful, they were still the side that was struggling to hold on just now. But in the blink of an eye, they became the ones fighting back.

The Germans were elated, but the Americans couldn't be happy anyway. When German reinforcements arrived, the American forces were completely suppressed, and the sequence of the attack was completely disrupted.

Attacking Germans could be seen everywhere in Fabaman, and calls for help came one after another to General Roshen's headquarters in a basement.

General Roshin found a terrible problem: he was surrounded, and if he could not get assistance, he even risked becoming a prisoner of the Germans.

Reinforce? Those subordinates actually need reinforcements? No, they're all crazy, and now the one who needs reinforcements the most is himself!

Damn it, even in the basement, General Roshen could clearly hear the terrible cannons and gunfires, and he could still hear the shouts of the Germans in his trance.

"General Karofi, I need to pick up General Karofi, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Middle East Command!" Turning into the phone, Luo Shen hissed and yelled: "General Karofi? Yes, we are surrounded by enemies...... Ah, I don't know where the 9th Infantry Regiment is...... The 9th Panzer Regiment? No, I don't know where the damn they are...... I'm very passive here right now, very, very passive, and the enemy is fighting all around me...... I need reinforcements, planes to get me out of this damn place right away...... What the? Defend in place, waiting for reinforcements? Well, I can hold out for two days, maybe just one day. Ah, no, I don't know if I'm going to surrender......"

Luo Shen put down the phone in frustration, in fact, he also knew very well that reinforcements would not arrive in a short period of time. What the hell do those intelligence officers eat? Why didn't there be any news of so many enemies before they appeared? No, he suddenly remembered, it was not without news, it had been said that a German army was rapidly approaching Fabaman. The command only sent French and Arab troops to intercept it, and they did not pay much attention to it.

Therefore, such evil consequences can only be tasted by themselves.

"General. The situation of the 9th Infantry Regiment is deteriorating dramatically. Chief of Staff Henry hurriedly walked in: "They must have our support to hold on." ”

"Tell them I can't send them reinforcements." Luo Shen, who couldn't get reinforcements himself, roared angrily: "Let them block it, don't be defeated!" Let Nesco take command himself! ”

"General, Colonel Nesco has been killed......"

"Ah, he's already dead......" Roshen reacted that his most powerful subordinate, Nesco, had been killed by the Germans before the Germans could even arrive.

He sighed deeply, but he didn't know what to do......

Henry hesitated: "General." It's time to make some preparations. You have been informed that, according to what we know so far, at least two divisions or more of the German army have entered Fabaman. And there may be more in the future. Due to the surprise attack and the previous counterattack by the Franco-Bamandish troops, we were in a very difficult position, and there was even a possibility that we could be attacked by the enemy. I advise you to evacuate here in advance......"

Luo Shen nodded involuntarily. But then he shook his head again: "No, Henry, I can't leave. General Carofi told me to stay here and hold out until reinforcements arrived......"

"General, don't listen to him." Henry was a little anxious: "These people will just stay in the comfort of the command headquarters and issue some boring orders, they don't know what is going on on the front line now, and when they finally have a meeting, it will be over." It was decided to send troops, those when reinforcements were long overdue. We have long been prisoners of the Germans! ”

Roshen groaned there, and he thought that the words of the chief of staff were not unreasonable.

The United States is not the only one fighting in the Middle East, but both the French and the Arabs. They tend to argue for a long time over a small issue, and often lose the initiative in the fight because of this.

If he continues to insist here, as General Karofi says, he may indeed become a prisoner......

"Henry, you go and prepare for a retreat, while the Germans have not completely surrounded us now." Luo Shen made up his mind: "Let all the troops stop the enemy as much as possible, and tell them that reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”

Roshen had already made up his mind to leave this terrible place......

All the people of the 9th Armored Division of the US Army, who were still fighting hard, did not know that they had been abandoned by their commanders. Despite the difficult situation, they still struggled to persevere.

This is the most elite Allied force in the Middle East, both in terms of equipment and the combat quality of the soldiers, and the reason why Manstein chose this force as his target for annihilation is to completely damage the enemy's morale and confidence in this way.

At this moment, the 9th Armored Division of the US Army is still resisting, but what kind of mood will they feel if they learn the news that they have been abandoned?

Perhaps, they will rout in the shortest possible time......

......

"Field Marshal Ernst, I am Ludendorff of the 6th Regiment of SS Panzergrenadiers of the 11th Northern Mountain Division of the Waffen-SS, and I am ordered to enter Fabaman first to protect your safety!"

When meeting Ernst. After Marshal Bream, Ludendorff looked a little nervous.

"Ludendorff, I'm very affectionate with the name." Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "During the First Great War of the Lu Realm, when I was a junior officer, I once saw Field Marshal Hindenburg and General Ludendorff with my own eyes. Ah, I was also with Marshal Manstein. Colonel Ludendorff, where is Marshal Manstein now? ”

Originally, he only asked later, but what he didn't expect was that Ludendorff's answer surprised him, Ludendorff looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Marshal Manstein is about to arrive in Fabaman. ”

Wang Weiyi was stunned for a moment, Manstein is about to arrive in Fabaman?

"This would have been top secret, out of concern for the safety of Marshal Manstein......" Ludendorff's voice was still low: "But there is nothing to hide in front of you." ”

Wang Weiyi nodded and smiled. Manstein probably couldn't wait to see his old friend who had been separated for twenty years, right? Soon. In Fabaman there will be two German marshals together.

"Field Marshal Ernst, we have been frantically attacked by the enemy." At this time, the commander of the Bulgarians, Colonel Antonov, hurriedly ran over: "The enemy's attack was very fierce, and the fire was extremely powerful. My 81st Infantry Regiment was broken through by them, and now Colonel Versten is personally leading his troops to intercept this force. However, the colonel's situation was also passive, and he estimated that this was not an ordinary enemy, so he asked for immediate reinforcements. ”

"Colonel Ludendorff, come with me." Wang Weiyi said without the slightest hesitation.

When they arrived at the battlefield, they felt for the first time that once the enemy had concentrated all their firepower, it was still very impressive.

Tanks, armored vehicles, heavy machine guns. The U.S. military has used almost every weapon at its disposal. They launched waves of onslaught at the German temporary positions. If Wang Weiyi hadn't arrived in time with a large number of German troops, I am afraid that this German army would have been crushed like the Bulgarians' positions.

"Marshal, those Americans are crazy." Colonel Van Sten saw the marshal appear here. He let out a long sigh: "20 minutes, only 20 minutes, they launched 3 attacks!" ”

Wang Weiyi took the binoculars and looked ahead, and soon ordered Colonel Ludendorff to take his men into battle. Then they brought Fabaman's map: "Where did they come from?" ”

"Here." Colonel Van Sten quickly pointed to a point on the map.

"Are there any fortifications here?" Wang Weiyi asked with a frown.

Colonel Van Sten blurted out without hesitation: "There's a basement there." It was very strong, but since it was not our main defensive target, we didn't have many men after the street fighting, and it soon fell into the hands of the Americans. ”

"There's a basement there......" Wang Weiyi muttered, "If I were the commander of the Americans, where would I set up my headquarters after entering Fabaman?" Colonel Van Sten, what about you? ”

Colonel Van Sten was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Field Marshal Ernst had already stopped, and said, "I will also set up my headquarters in the basement." Is there anything safer than there? ”

Colonel Van Sten immediately understood: "You have to say." Is there the command of the 9th Panzer Division of the US Army? It was the command of the Americans who broke through? ”

"I can't say that." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly and said, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." But no matter what. We can't let them escape from under our noses. Colonel, are you familiar with the situation here? ”

"Of course, I'm familiar with every plant and tree here!" Colonel Van Sten said loudly.

Wang Weiyi's gaze fell on the map again: "Here it is handed over to Colonel Ludendorff for defense, you take your people and Colonel Antonov's Bulgarians, bypass from the flank, and attack behind the body of the Americans!" ”

"Okay, no problem." Colonel Van Sten suddenly became excited......

......

Wang Weiyi's judgment was not wrong, this crazy breakthrough force was officially the command of General Luo Shen, commander of the 9th Armored Division of the US Army.

Their first charge overwhelmed the Bulgarians' positions, which gave them confidence in a successful breakthrough, but they were soon met with strong resistance.

The combat effectiveness of those German soldiers was far from being comparable to that of the Bulgarians. Even though they were outnumbered and outnumbered, they still held on to their there like an impregnable wall, so that the Americans' countless surprise attacks could not succeed.

Soon, German reinforcements arrived, and the precarious position suddenly became solid.

General Roshen was furious, and Colonel Klaus, who was in charge of directing the charge, was called in front of him several times and loudly reprimanded. At least one thing Luo Shen knows all too well, time is life. Every minute they delay here adds a little more danger.

Colonel Klaus's fourth offensive began.

Luo Shen anxiously picked up the binoculars for a while, and then put them down again, at this time his heart was no longer in Fabaman.

"General, do you need to withdraw for the time being? The Germans were very tough on their blockade. Henry asked worriedly, "At least the basement still has a strong defense. ”

"No, never!" Luo Shen didn't want to go back to that dark and damp place at all: "Let the nearby troops immediately move closer to me, immediately, I need their support!" ”

"General, please think about it." Henry hurriedly said, but his voice was low: "The news of our retreat, those soldiers who are still fighting do not know the way, if they know the way, it will cause some unnecessary consequences and troubles." So I think it's better for us to break through by ourselves for the time being. ”

Luo Shen sighed, in fact, he was already in chaos at this time.

If they continue to hold on and do not break through rashly, they can hold out for a long time, and may even hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, but in this case, Luo Shen chose to break through in advance.

This is not a wrong choice, but it is far from the right one.

This is true of many things on the battlefield, and the victory or defeat of a battle is often in the thoughts of the commander. An idea, a choice can often determine the fate of an army.

For example, General Roshen and his 9th Panzer Division are exactly like that.

Since Luo Shen has taken such a path, he has no other choice, he must persevere to the end, even if this decision is proved to be completely wrong in the end, he will never turn back.

Thus, the fate of the Americans took a turn on this battlefield! (To be continued......)
