Chapter 444: Saving the Boston GIs (Part II)

Pershing waved his hand and said: "Time is pressing, we can't wait any longer, break through now, the others will definitely go over to meet us when they hear the gunfire outside." ”

Under the leadership of General Pershing, more than 8,000 Boston soldiers cheered up and quickly rushed towards the place where the gunfire was dense.

The Predators moved quickly, and after the Thar army outside the city was attacked by rocket artillery, they quickly launched a charge. The Sahr army did not guard against the appearance of enemy troops behind them, and under the focused assault of the Iron Blooded Army, the Saar army was routed. Taking the opportunity to open the breakthrough, Chief of Staff Xiao Hua commanded several jeeps to rush into the city.

"General, there is movement ahead, it seems to be a motor vehicle, it may be the Sahr army." An officer reported.

Pershing waved his hand: "You have to see clearly, this is already very close to the suburbs, maybe it is reinforcements." ”

The officer nodded, and went to reconnoiter again, only to see him lying on a pile of rubble, propping up his binoculars and carefully observing. A jeep had just turned around and entered the street, and the officer was stunned by the big saber badge on the car, and he shouted to the Pershing merchant behind him: "General, it seems to be the army of the Chinese Empire, what should we do?" ”

"The Chinese Empire?" Pershing was also stunned for a while, he never thought that the person who came to save him was actually from the Chinese Empire, and after thinking about it, Pershing felt that even the people of the Chinese Empire would not be unfavorable to him, first of all, the two sides are allies, if the Chinese Empire has a black hand, it is morally unjustifiable, not to mention that the other party does not have to be so troublesome if he wants to do it, as long as they do not come to the rescue, they will naturally be wiped out by the Sahr.

Thinking that the army of the Chinese Empire would not harm him, Admiral Pershing immediately said: "Call to them, just say that we are Bostonnes, and ask them if they have come to save us." ”

"Hey, brother on the other side, we're Bostoners, are you here to help?" Then the officer stood up and shouted at the approaching jeep.

Xiao Hua, who was sitting in the car, suddenly saw someone shouting out of him, speaking Aberdeen, but fortunately, he also knew this foreign language and could understand it, so he also shouted: "We are the iron-blooded army of the Chinese Empire, and we are here to rescue you." ”

Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, the officer excitedly ran towards the jeep, while General Pershing, who was behind him, slowed down. Even if the other party has no reason to deal with him, he must be careful and let the officer go on a trip first, so as not to be in danger.

The officer quickly got in touch with Xiao Hua, and when he learned that it was the Iron Blood Army who came to the rescue, he immediately beckoned to General Pershing and the others behind him to let them pass. More than 8,000 officers and soldiers gathered around Admiral Pershing and came to the jeep.

"Hello, I'm General Pershing, commander of the Boston Imperial Expeditionary Force." Pershing was the first to reach out his hand.

Xiao Hua also smiled and shook hands with Pershing and said, "Hello, I am Major General Xiao Hua, Chief of Staff of the Third Army of the Chinese Imperial Iron Army, and I am very happy to see you." ”

Pershing said with some excitement: "Iron Army? How many of you came? He was very interested in defeating his own Chinese army, but he knew that it was the most elite national regular army of the Chinese Empire, a unit of the Guard, and the Iron Blood Army was the private army of the Emperor, which was said to be even more elite than the Guard, which made him want to know more about this magical army.

Xiao Hua invited Pershing into the jeep, while the other Boston soldiers ran after him, and they rushed out of the city, and some of the Thar soldiers who had arrived after hearing the news were all beaten in two by the large-caliber machine guns on board. After several days of fighting, these Boston soldiers were tired and dying, but there was hope for life in front of them, they still rose to the last strength, and ran wildly behind the jeep, and they quickly fled out of the city, and on the way there were scattered Boston soldiers to join, and by the time they escaped from the city, the number had exceeded 12,000.

"Why are there so few of you?" Seeing more than 10,000 people rushing out of the city, Xu Xiangnan felt much less than he expected.

Pershing smiled a little embarrassedly: "No way, the Saar people's attack is very fierce, and it's good that we can have these people left." ”

Xu Xiangnan didn't care, he waved his hand and said, "Let's retreat quickly, the Saar people will come up in a while, and it will be difficult to break through." ”

Pershing also knew that his words were reasonable, those Boston soldiers were also patient with fatigue, and quickly retreated behind the Iron Blood, most of Saar's army mixed in the city and fought street battles with Boston soldiers, and only a few people were surrounded outside, and after most of the Sahr army in this direction was wiped out by two rocket volleys, they had to draw troops from the other direction, and they had only just arrived at this time.

"All launches." The artillery of the Predator Army, which had been prepared for a long time, carried out a rocket salvo again, and the dense rocket salvo covered the Sahr people who were launching a charge, for the first time applied to the battlefield surface killing firepower, the Saar people were not prepared, and the rockets used by the Predator Army were personnel bombs loaded with a large number of steel balls, after such a salvo, the Saar reinforcements suffered heavy losses again, taking advantage of the fact that the other party was temporarily repulsed, the Iron Blood Army and the rescued Boston army quickly disappeared into the jungle.

Xu Xiangnan knew that if his troops returned by the same route, they would have to face the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of Saar people behind, and there were an unknown number of interceptions in front of them, so he immediately changed his route, and under the guidance of the Yaman guides, they rushed through the jungle to the south and rushed in the direction of Munich.

The remnants of the Boston army were severely overdrawn, and after getting rid of the pursuing enemy troops, the large army had to rest for a day in the woods, and it was not until the Boston warriors regained their strength that they continued their advance towards the Munich area.

Xu Xiangnan's calculation was very accurate, when the Sahr people found out that the Boston people were lost, they immediately sent troops to search frantically, and they just avoided Saar's crazy search this time during their rest in the forest.

After the Sahr lost their target, the search area of the troops became more and more scattered, but although the dispersion is conducive to expanding the search area and making it easier to find more places, the corresponding search quality will be reduced, taking advantage of these gaps, the Predator Army and the Boston Army are divided into multiple small units and interspersed with the past, even if some Boston squads are discovered, it doesn't matter much, their main force soon arrived in the Baden area.

The Baden region was originally a province of the Yaman Empire, but after the defeat of the Yaman Empire, it became a Saar occupation. Although the Baden region is already under the control of the Sahr, it is the closest city to Munich and is where the Saar army is located.

Throughout the day, the army was stationed in the nearby Alps, all of them hiding in the valley to hide from the reconnaissance planes that the Saar flew by from time to time. After the remnants of Boston were rescued, the Allied leaders were furious, and they ordered the entire front to be closely investigated, vowing to wipe out all these mysterious troops who had rescued the Bostonians.

The Entente army had the upper hand at this time, and they could easily search for the enemy behind their flanks while maintaining pressure on the Allied army, but their focus was on the north, and for the Baden region further south, the attention was much smaller, which was why the Iron Blood Army plus the Boston Empire had more than 60,000 people and could still march covertly.

In order to reduce the target, the scouts of the Predators did not use wheeled reconnaissance vehicles, and they reconnoitred on foot close to the line of the Thar people.

"Commander, the scouts are back." Xiao Hua approached Xu Xiangnan and said in a low voice, at this time Xu Xiangnan was chatting casually with Admiral Pershing.

"Oh? Tell them to come over and have the staff officers bring the map as well. "Now is the period of cooperation between the two armies, Xu Xiangnan did not shy away from Pershing, he asked the staff officers to directly spread the map on the boulder, and just looked at it. Seeing the map spread out by the staff officers, Pershing couldn't help but take a few more looks, this area is drawn in great detail, not only all the mountains have contour lines, each section of the river lists the depth of the local water in each season, and even the smallest villages are marked, and even their permanent population is written on them, which is several times more detailed than the military map used by the Boston Army itself.

Looking at this map of no details, Admiral Pershing secretly said, no wonder the Chinese Empire always wins battles, such a detailed accumulation of intelligence, it can be seen that its detailed and serious preparations for war are definitely not comparable to the Boston Empire that hastily declared war.

"Commander, the battle line of the Entente is all over the front, and we can't bypass it, so we can only break through directly." Fang Xing, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, introduced the situation.

"What is the configuration on the opponent's position?" Xu Xiangnan asked softly while looking at the terrain near Munich with a magnifying glass.

"The depth of the opponent's position has reached thirteen kilometers, and the various firepower configurations are light in front and heavy in the rear, and they are quite lax in their defense of their rear road, and there are not many defenders near their three artillery positions, but each has about a battalion of troops." Fang Xing continued to answer.

"Okay, we'll assault their artillery positions tonight, and then join up with the Yaman army on the other side. Not only do we have to crush the Allied forces in front of us, but we also have to push the front south away from Munich, where we have our air force headquarters, and we can't let these guys go too far. Xu Xiangnan smiled slightly and made a decision.

"What do we need to do?" Seeing that Xu Xiangnan had made the decision to attack at night, Pershing couldn't help but ask Zhandao.

"Your army has suffered heavy losses in continuous battles, and now most of the weapons and equipment are damaged, and the personnel are quite tired. This attack is carried out by our Iron Army, and there is no need for your army to intervene. Xu Xiangnan was very unconfident in the combat effectiveness of these Bostonians, and in order to be more confident in the battle, he politely declined Pershing's invitation to fight.
