Two hundred and fifty-three. The battle flag that does not fall

October 29th.

In Montfokon, the Skeleton Commandos held out here for thirty-three days.

The Germans were crumbling on the Meuse-Argonne front, the Entente forces had seized the third line of German defense, and the twenty-seven well-equipped infantry divisions at the command of First Admiral Ludendorff had been thrown into the battlefield.

However, there was a force that held the ground but was impregnable:

Skeleton Commando!

Even, the United States, Britain and France on the opposite side of the alliance had serious wavering about whether they could seize the Montforton position.

In the thirty-three years of the skeleton commando, the team was severely depleted, the ammunition was rapidly depleted, their wings and rear had been completely cut off, and they had become:

Alone!

But it is such a lonely army, but it is like a tenacious boat in the stormy waves, no matter how the vicious waves destroy, it will never sink.

Impregnable!

Sooner or later, Montfokon will fall into the hands of the enemy, but as long as there is one member of the Skeleton Commando team, the battle will never stop!

Now, the first thing all the officers and men of the armies of the United States, Great Britain and France did when the morning came was not to have breakfast, but to silently watch Montforton silently gaze at the battle flag:

Skeleton Battle Banner!

Their eyes are full of reverence, full of reverence.

They could not imagine the stubborn perseverance of the Germans on the other side who held out here for thirty-three days, and they could not imagine how they could do it in complete despair

They were eager to see this army, and they were eager to pay their deepest and most sincere salute to their commander.

Skeleton Commandos - even their enemies are subdued by them.

Artillery daily bombardment. It's all limp and weak, and it's more of a routine there. They don't want their shells to hurt each other.

In Montfokon, there is an incredible group of heroes!

The Skull Commando is attributing, the US Army's 78th Division is attributing, the British 42nd Eastern Reims Division is attributing, and the French 22nd Division is attributing

The divisions of the three Entente countries in the case of absolute superiority in firepower. They stormed Montforton for thirty-three days, but they were left with only corpses and wailing wounded

The skull banner - it's still there!

A group of Entente soldiers fell, and a new source of soldiers was replenished, and those who had survived the thirty-three days of fighting quietly told their companions:

"Hey, you have to be careful, there's a skeleton commando on the other side"

"Ah, I've heard their names. Are they scary? ”

"No, they're not terrible, they're worthy of respect hell. What am I talking to you about this? Always when their guns go off, you must be the first to fall to the ground."

"I heard they're running out of ammo?"

"Damn, don't think that they will give up the fight because they don't have ammo once, we've already rushed up. But they beat them back with bayonets and sapper shovels. You're from California, right? The day before yesterday, there was also a guy from California, who rushed to the first one recklessly, and his head was cracked at once, listen to me, that's right, we can't defeat the skeleton commandos."

There are such words circulating everywhere

Something even stranger happened:

The United States, Great Britain, and France had already learned about the incredible battle that had taken place in Montforton, and their citizens had no doubt that the Allies would eventually be victorious, but they began to go crazy for the skeleton commandos!

Skeleton Baron. It's the team commanded by the Skull Baron!

O God, undefeated Baron of Skeletons!

in these three countries. Everywhere there was a story of Baron Skeleton and the commandos he commanded, of the battles that had preceded them, of the battle of Montforton.

Every day, as long as there was any news of the battle of Montfaucon, it was looted, and everyone did not miss any place in the newspaper, greedily looking for all the news related to the Skull Baron.

Such voices began to be heard in the country:

Let them go! Let Skeleton Baron and his crew get out of here and go wherever they want! The war is about to be won, they can't affect the overall situation, why do they have to think about defeating them!

Let them go! Let them leave like a hero!

Hordes of reporters flocked to the Meuse-Argonne front, and they wanted to be like the legendary journalist Beasley for anything to do with the Skull Baron!

The Allied officers in Montfocon were reluctant to do so, and they were asked the same thing every day by reporters:

"Hey, Major, have you ever seen the Skull Baron?"

"General, please stay, this is the first time you have suffered defeat at the hands of the Skull Baron?"

"General Liggett, it's great to see you, do you think you can take Montfokon before Christmas? Unless they give up? ”

Enough, enough! These Entente officers, who had suffered such humiliation on the Montfcon front, had had enough!

On 30 October, Lieutenant General Ligget, having waited for new reinforcements, gathered all the forces he could muster and launched the most violent attack on Montforton since the outbreak of the Battle of Meuse-Argon.

The Germans are running out of ammunition, the Germans are running out of grenades, and General Liggett is determined to take Montfcon down today!

He even invited all the reporters to the front line, and he wanted them to see for themselves how he defeated the Skull Baron on this day!

In front of all the reporters, General Liggett made such a bold statement:

"Today, the myth of the undefeated Baron of Skeletons will be defeated! Today is a day worth writing down into history! I have ordered my elite troops to launch a general attack, and we will trample Montfocon under our feet! We're going to trample that damn skull banner under our feet! In the face of our powerful attacks, anyone will lose! ”

The reporters are watching, they are going to see how General Liggett defeats the Skull Baron!

Powerful artillery preparations began, and the whole of Ligget was enveloped in Allied fire. Having witnessed such an artillery bombardment, some journalists already believe that today General Liggett will succeed

After three hours of artillery preparation, the reporters were almost deaf to their ears, and they began to be convinced that Montfcon could no longer resist under such shelling

"Attack!"

With this order from General Liggett, a dense crowd of Allied soldiers swarmed towards Montfauton

"Look!" A sharp-eyed reporter suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.

The reporters looked there one after another, and they saw that the skeletal battle flag, which had disappeared under the shelling, was flying again on the German positions!

"Skeleton Baron!"

Someone erupted in such a cry, and then there was a cheer from the reporters!

They are actually cheering for their enemies!

Skeleton Banner - that's a battle flag that never falls!

The charging Allies were met with fire from Montfaucon's worst ammunition. Patches of Allied soldiers fell, and all that remained was to march on the corpses of their own companions.

Suddenly, the strafing from Montfcon's position stopped:

The Skeleton Commando has run out of ammunition.

As if seeing hope, the Allies rushed forward with a shout.

At this time, countless skeleton commandos appeared, and they also roared, fighting with the enemy.

The bayonets flashed, and the sappers shoveled and flew the commandos and the enemy writhed together. They are using their own flesh and blood to build a steel defense!

Ernst. General Bram with his teammates! He killed one enemy after another with his bayonet, and he struck every enemy he could see with the butt of his gun!

Under such a steel defensive line, the allies, who themselves had a strong fear of the skeleton commandos, finally could not hold on, they could not bear the death of their comrades, and they could not bear the skeleton commandos fighting with complete disregard for life and death

They're the vanguard of death!

The Allies retreated in a hula

They were not repelled by the bullets of the Skull Commandos, but by the incredible tenacity of the commandos!

General Liggett watched in amazement, unable to believe that his all-out blow had failed again.

The reporters were still cheering, and they threw their questions at General Liggett:

"General, what did you say a few hours ago? You're going to trample the Skull Banner under your feet? ”

"General, you've failed again."

"General, this is a day that deserves to be written down in history, the Germans have emptied their last bullet, but the Allies, with their powerful artillery support and endless ammunition, continue to suffer defeats."

"Shame, it was a shame for the Allies, but it was a day that the Germans will never forget."

"General, forget it, let's end it."

General Liggett can't say anything about the shame, this is really a shame that the Allies with elite equipment were once again defeated by a group of Germans who had run out of ammunition and food!

Those Germans, their will was cast in steel!

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, strangely quiet, and everyone's eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of Montfaucon

The skull banner flutters in the wind.

That's - the battle flag that never falls! (To be continued.) )
