The battle of Meuse-Argonne continued into October, and the offensive of the American and French forces was seriously hampered.

Despite being inferior in terms of weapons and troops, the Germans put up the most stubborn resistance. Especially in the Montforton hills, the blow to the Americans is unimaginable.

On the position, there were bullets like a storm of skeleton commandos, and grenades that fell like raindrops.

The roar of light and heavy machine guns never stopped, and the losses of the American troops here were huge. By October, more than 3,000 people had been killed in battle alone.

"Death Montforton".

Now, some people have begun to call this position as such.

On October 1, the U.S. forces, having suffered heavy casualties, temporarily halted their attacks.

On 4 October, the Americans, heavily reinforced, again launched an all-out offensive on the Meuse-Argonne front.

The War of the Dead has broken out!

A whole week had passed since the beginning of the war, and the Meuse-Argonne had borne a great deal of hope for the Germans.

The German soldiers were fighting their last battles here, hoping to hold back the enemy's victory with their efforts.

Every step forward by the US-French coalition forces was at the cost of human lives, and the Germans, who had been shipwrecked, had no intention of giving up the war in the slightest

Week after week passed, and by the time the battle of Meuse-Argonne had progressed into late October, both sides were exhausted.

Casualties on both sides are already difficult to count. The entire battlefield was completely filled with the corpses of the dead and even in the positions, when the enemy retreated. Many soldiers lay directly on the corpses of their comrades and fell asleep

The skeleton commandos have been reduced by more than half of their numbers until now.

But Montforton is still in their hands!

Their left flank was cut off. Their right flank is cut off, and even their rear flank is about to be cut off.

Montfokon would soon become an isolated position.

But the Skeleton Commando is still there! They are here with incredible perseverance, and they are struggling to hold this position. They are using their blood and lives to accomplish their mission!

Americans are now not surprised by the resilience of the enemy on the other side, but instead with admiration.

On the other side, there are enemies, but also a group of real warriors!

Iron-blooded Montforton!

On October 26, the enemy's first charge was repulsed? The entire position was left unaccounted for

Anyway. The enemy retreated again

Nikolai lay exhausted in his position, he never thought that the battle would be so fierce. Now he felt more and more guilty about Major General Ernst.

Countless times. He's all going through such brutal battles, and he's suspecting that he's a traitor? It's ridiculous.

He is a true - patriot!

Even as a general, he never left his front line!

Wang Weiyi didn't pay attention to what Nikolai was thinking there, and now checked the damage. The most important thing is to renovate the position.

A large number of enemies have long appeared on both flanks. Montfocon was under siege, and the situation was already very critical. But the order to retreat was still not given.

Steck was bandaging his wounds, one of his arms wounded, and Boncrere was scrutinizing the Mauser infantry, which had killed many enemy officers, and Sean was there to wipe down his heavy machine gun, which was always the most reliable firepower on the battlefield

Four knives took out his four knives and watched them one by one.

No one spoke, everyone was silent.

But when the enemy appears, they will be greeted with the heaviest firepower.

"General. I heard that the Hindra position has been breached, and we may be attacked by the enemy in the future. "Glanced at General Ernst. Steck asked.

"Maybe." Wang Weiyi shrugged: "Who knows?" ”

yes, who knows what will happen to the Dao?

Some people will die in a while, and some people will live. But as long as they are here, the battle will continue indefinitely.

"Hey, hey, the Americans are up, the Americans are up!"

The loud shout brought the soldiers who seemed to be drowsy just now into a combat state.

Appearing in front of the commandos were four bravado-powerful tanks, and involuntarily, the commandos looked behind them.

They also had the last A7V left

In the fierce battles of the previous weeks, the commando A7Vs were all destroyed, but they could not be replenished. There weren't many shells left for the last German tank, and when the battle was over, the only A7V would be an ornament.

However, even though only the last tank remained, she was still full of determination to fight to the end

The shells were fired, and one of the American tanks became a pile of scrap metal under the attack of the shells, but this did not affect the speed of the impact of the other three tanks.

The artillery on the tank began to fire at each other

The shells kept falling and exploding on the battlefield, and the rumbling sound was really uncomfortable.

Another American tank lost its momentum, and the last two suddenly became afraid

"Well played, hey, hey, do it again!"

The Germans on the position began to cheer, but they waited for a while, but did not wait for the sound of cannons

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"There are no more shells." The tanker and gunner jumped out of the tank and said helplessly.

"Oh" Wang Weiyi just let out a faint "oh", and there was not much surprise.

With no additions, it's pretty good for them to be able to fight to this point

Now, it's the turn of machine guns, submachine guns and rifles!

Sean's heavy machine gun was the first to fire, and then, several Maxim and Madsen machine guns roared together, and the Americans began to fall one after another, and the rest hurriedly fell to the ground, motionless and waiting for the frantic fire to strike.

As they lay down, Montfcon's fire stopped at once

After waiting for a while, the Americans raised their heads in fear, they looked ahead, and after making sure that the enemy was no longer firing, they stood up again

But at this moment, the Germans' impenetrable web of fire once again enveloped them

Again and again, such things are repeated on the battlefield

Commanding Hunter here. Lieutenant General Liggett could only smile bitterly as he watched everything that was happening on the battlefield. When he came to Europe, he heard countless legends about the Skeleton Commando, and even the proud Brigadier General Smith was defeated at the hands of the Skeleton Baron.

However, Lieutenant General Liggott always thought that there might be some exaggeration in this, and that there were really such heroic officers and soldiers on the battlefield.

But now he can be sure: there is! And right across from yourself!

Since taking over the French attack, the losses of the American troops have reached an alarming level, and a large number of casualties are sent to Lieutenant General Liggett almost every day. Some units have already been replenished several times.

He knew that the losses of the Germans on the other side of the road were also very large, and they had not yet replenished them, but it was strange how exactly they had managed to hold out until now.

Moreover, they had no intention of retreating.

Now the Americans will be filled with fear only when they talk about an attack on Montfokon, which has become real:

Land of the Dead!

The ground here is red and covered with blood, the trees here are stone, and the countless souls that surround it

It's going to be the last place of sadness that Americans want to recall

On the night of the 26th, a British unit also arrived on the battlefield, the British 42nd East Reims Division under the personal command of General Monrington.

The Allied command has made up its mind: the skeleton commandos must be resolutely defeated here! To this end, they also deployed the Eastern Lans Division, which had fought against Baron Skeleton, to the front line.

"I'd love to see what kind of man Baron Skeleton really is." Lieutenant General Liggert said with a wry smile: "Many of my troops have been replenished again and again, and many of my officers have fallen under the guns of the Germans. The enemy is surrounded, but they have no intention of surrendering."

"Do you want Baron Skeleton to surrender?" General Monrington looked astonished, as if he had heard the most incredible story: "It is impossible, even if he fights to the last man, he will never surrender." ”

"He's a terrible, but respectable man." Colonel Rosen, who was on the side of General Montrington, looked at Montfocon in amazement and said: "No one can defeat him, from the Somme to the Marne, and then here, we have fought with him countless times, but we have failed at his hands countless times, General Liggett, do you know, sometimes we fight with him not for victory, but for show-off"

"What does that mean?" Lieutenant General Liggett did not understand.

Colonel Rosen looked at one of his lost arms: "We will all lose at the hands of the Skull Baron, but after the war we can boast and say, 'Look, I fought with the Skull Baron, and I survived, what a great thing'"

There was some playfulness in his words, but they may have really spoken the hearts of many of the Allied officers.

No one can defeat the Skeleton Baron, no one can defeat the Skeleton Commando, and all the enemies who have fought him already think so.

It's the biggest and greatest honor of my life to be able to fight him! (To be continued.) )
