Deserts are always fickle.

During the day, the climate is hot enough to make you die of severe dehydration. At night, however, it becomes extremely cold, cold enough to freeze you into a block of ice. The contrast between the day and the day is unimaginable.

This is especially true from December to February.

So some people say that the desert in winter is half snow and half sand. It looks like an incomparably beautiful and magnificent sight, but it is enough to take countless lives.

And the war, on the other hand, has seriously damaged the scenery here.

It was December 26, 1965.

The German tankmen lit a fire under the tank and roasted the tank for a while - the temperature has been getting colder and colder lately, and even the oil has turned into paste. It is simply impossible to start a tank without baking for a while. The tank crews were all dressed in summer clothes, shivering and roasting the fire by the way.

"Ahh Ahh Tum sneezed twice in a row, rubbing his hands together as he moved his muscles.

"Don't you attack yet? We're all set. Martin's snot froze out and became a popsicle.

"Twenty degrees below zero, well, the bolt of the gun will open." Thomp, who was holding a thermometer, said.

Major Ludman looked through his binoculars at the American position, and it seemed that there were not many Americans, but their clothes were very thick. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was 11:59, and there was still a minute.

The officers whistled.

"Rush! Kill! "Groups of German soldiers, under the cover of a large number of tanks, rushed to the American positions.

"Don't be frozen to death, rush!"

The tank crushed the barbed wire. The Germans were just about to storm the trenches. A dense barrage of bullets suddenly shot out of the trenches, and a large line of American soldiers stood inside.

Thomp hurriedly lay down and killed one of the soldiers.

Tanks in front opened fire. Blown the Heavy away. Then he continued to move forward and crushed to the top of the trench, at which time the American troops in the trench pulled out explosives and placed them on the tank, and the tank was scrapped with a "boom".

"Into the trenches! Into the trenches! "Sergeant Gwenther shoots the American troops in the trenches with a submachine gun.

Many of the German soldiers who lay on the ground froze again. The rest were numbed by the snow beneath them, and they jumped to their feet and rushed to the trench with their lives.

Thomp jumped into the trenches, and he was less afraid of killing people during the battle. Because everyone thinks that killing people at this time is a matter of course, and it is instinctive - if you don't kill him, he will kill you. He swung the butt of his rifle and smashed the neck of an American soldier.

Martin jumped in as well. Picked up the submachine gun on the corpse of his comrade. Thomp removed one of the machine guns from the trench, lay down on the ground, swept the rushing American troops, and then stood up - the cold sand in the trench was not up to his ankles. You'll freeze if you're lying on your stomach.

"Kill all the Americans. Rip off their clothes. ”

Private Mick jumped in as well, and when he saw a flask on the body of an American soldier, he pulled it down and took a few sips.

"It's useless to do less, Mick!" Tom shot and killed the soldier who had just run up.

In the trenches, there were wooden sheds built inside for the soldiers to rest, and the door of one of the wooden sheds in the trenches was kicked open, and five or six American troops rushed out of it.

Thomp continued to shoot with a machine gun. Killed the American troops.

There were also American troops outside the trenches, shooting at the Germans. There were not many German troops in the trenches, and if they continued like this, they would be completely annihilated.

Martin's physique is a little worse, his eyebrows and eyelashes are covered with sand, and he can't see clearly. He felt a little dizzy, and at this moment, a rope hooked his neck, and the American soldier in the back ran out of bullets, and he didn't know where he got the rope.

"Martin, don't mess around!" A German soldier with a gun said 2.

Martin was speechless. The German target was so obvious that the American troops outside shot him through the head. The American soldier who strangled Martin said with a smile: "The Germans are really, they can't even protect themselves and pay back to others." ”

"What the hell are you talking about?" Martin barely snapped out a word.

A sharp knife came out from behind the American soldier, and then, with a twist and a slash of the wrist, cut the American soldier's trachea.

"Yes...... Gyunse...... The sergeant ...... "When Martin had finished speaking, he fainted and fell into the snow, estimating that seventy percent was frozen and thirty percent was tired.

"Sir, Martin is going to freeze here."

"Wait...... I'm trying to figure it out...... Be careful! Gwenser pressed his head down. U.S. troops outside the trenches were shooting at them.

Two tanks came, and the machine guns and artillery on the tanks drove away the American troops outside the trenches.

"We need artillery support!"

"Come on......"

The artillery positions in the rear of the German army opened fire, but quite a few shells fell in the trenches, killing quite a few German soldiers.

"Bastard...... I don't have fucking eyes! Gwense yelled.

"No wonder they, the cannon's scopes are frozen and useless!" Mick said.

"Continue to clear the battle position, clear the position!" Captain Luzo in the back shouted at them.

Thomp and the others walked along the stand, and Tom dragged Martin who had fainted from the cold.

To the northeast of the trench was a machine-gun bunker with machine guns blocking the German hooves, which Captain Luzo ordered to destroy.

The German soldier Hute rushed to the back of the pillbox, and he saw that the pillbox had two floors, and one floor was built underground, and the underground was the entrance to the pillbox.

Hute rushed down, not even noticing a perforation on the other side of the stairs. There was a rifleman inside, and the rifleman killed Hute with a single shot, and Hute rolled down the stairs, and the snow beneath his body turned into water and blood.

Mick spotted the hole as a grenade, and then the explosion.

"Boy, it's not bad, it's quite accurate." Sergeant Gwense complimented.

"That's nature."

"Let's go down quickly." A soldier said.

The Germans entered the basement, and it was quite warm inside. There is a stove.

"Keep searching and see if there are any Americans."

Behind a wooden box, an American soldier suddenly stood up, but he was killed before he could open fire.

A side door was opened. The Germans fired from submachine guns, and there were two more corpses on the ground.

The Germans continued to advance, and Martin woke up because he was warm. The Germans advanced to a wooden door, and were about to kick it open when two explosions were heard inside, and the earth fell in a platter.

The Germans kicked the door open. Inside were the bodies of four American soldiers, as well as a machine gun that had returned to the state of parts, outside the pillbox. A large number of German tanks were passing by.

"The tank has such a great ability, why do you want us to clean the bunker?" Tom was a little dissatisfied.

"Alright, Thomp, our tanks will steal the limelight from us."

"Go back the way you came." Gwenser left with his class.

There is a side door in the passage that goes unnoticed. The lock is quite tight. It is estimated that there was no one inside, and the Germans did not care about him. At this moment, three or four American soldiers with pistols suddenly rushed out of the room, and Gwense knocked them down with a single bullet.

Before they could rush inside, they heard the screams inside. When they entered, several of the soldiers who were standing raised their hands and said, "Sir, please don't shoot, we have wounded here, please." "The soldiers looked like medics. The rest of the soldiers were lying or sitting. There were injuries, some of which were very serious. Despite being bandaged, he was bleeding profusely. They can only be stuffed in the cold, damp underground.

Sergeant Gwenser's English was very good and he could understand it.

Thomp's English was average, but it could be seen from his eyes that he cared about them and sympathized with the wounded. Thomp asked them, "...... you Why are you staying here, your ...... The wound will become inflamed. ”

One of the wounded raised his hand, pointed at Thomp and said, "Not yet...... Because...... You ......" and then he died.

There was a foul stench of rotting wounds, which made the German soldiers want to vomit, but this was a desert, and some of them were inflamed because the place was too damp.

"That's it?" Sergeant Gwenser sighed and said, "Then settle their suffering." ”

The German soldiers in the back raised their guns and killed the medics, splattering Thomp's face with blood. Gwenser ordered all the German soldiers to shoot, and then walked up to Thomp again, "You, you must shoot!" Gyunse shouted.

Thomp's face was as dead as he slowly raised his rifle. Closing his eyes, clenching his teeth, his hands trembling, panting heavily, cold sweat running down his cheeks, he listened to Sergeant Gyunse's counting: "Ready! Shoot! ”

Thomp shuddered and pulled the trigger, gunshots rang out in the room, and Martin outside the room got goosebumps as he listened.

In the midst of the gunshot, Thomp opened his eyes, and one of his shots hit the wall, and the wounded soldier suddenly pounced on Tom like crazy, trying to strangle him, and Thomp finally pulled out his pistol out of self-defense instinct and shot the wounded soldier in the stomach.

The young wounded soldier collapsed limply on Thomp's body, blood pouring out.

Tump shuddered and pushed the wounded soldier away. At this point, the execution was over.

"Get out of here." Sergeant Gwenther ordered, and then he glanced at Thomp, "You finally have the courage to kill, although this time passively. Then, Gwense sneered and walked out.

Toll walked out of the room and leaned against the wall, shivering at his face as if it were about to cry, or another expression of pain.

Martin stood up, he knew what Thomp was thinking, and he said to Thomp, "Okay, Thomp, you didn't take the initiative to kill. I used to be neighbors with Sergeant Gwenser, huh...... His nature is not like this, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, he joined the army a year before me and became like this. You don't have to be too upset, Thomp. ”

Tum shook his head, wiped his face with his hand, and left the bunker.

Major Ludemann was already outside, the Germans had assembled, they had to move on, the tank attack in front was blocked, and the infantry had to rush over to reinforce it. Major Ludeman's face had been distorted by a strange excitement, hideous and terrifying.

"Brethren, according to reliable information, our next opponent is the 172nd Infantry Regiment secretly transferred by the American Army, and the commander is the Stamm who has caused us great losses. Anyway. I hope you will tear his regiment to pieces, and I believe this is his grave! Well, it's cold. I don't want to freeze you, so let's move on! ”

Major Ludemann hated Steim to the core. This time, Steum's regiment was stationed on a high ground surrounded by dense trees, which was the last obstacle to access to Aswan. The Germans made several charges, all of which were disintegrated.

The soldiers were already eager to attack. At night, they had to extinguish all bonfires to prevent the artillery from directing the American artillery. The Germans were finally about to attack, and artillery bombarded the heights fiercely. Subsequently, the bombers braved the anti-aircraft guns to drop bombs on the high and low levels.

The Germans, under the cover of tanks, began to charge. They had already rushed to the barbed wire, but the machine guns of the American army blocked them.

"Put!" German mortars blew up two American machine guns. But several hideouts of the American positions flashed with fire. The artilleryman was shot. The first wave of 3 tanks of the German army was repulsed by anti-tank fire.

"U.S. snipers! Don't show your head! Lying on the ground, Thomp screamed, but several slow-reacting Germans were shot dead by snipers.

"Damn snipers. Tell me what to do. Sergeant Gyunser shook his head helplessly.

"Hmm...... We should blow up the barbed wire and hide in the trenches. Mick had an idea

"I have explosives." Tom said. With that, he hung the explosives on the barbed wire.

"Attention. I'm on fire! Thomp lit the dynamite.

The German soldiers clutched their heads.

There was a loud bang. The barbed wire was blown up. Sergeant Gwenther led his soldiers into the trenches under machine-gun fire. Jumped inside and killed the American troops inside.

"Mick, you are now a machine gunner, set up the machine gun, and strafe the American troops in the second line of trenches. We are responsible for clearing the trenches. Gwense commanded.

Tom kicked the door of the wooden shed open, and Sergeant Gwenther swept the American troops inside with a submachine gun.

"Thomp, pick up the Americans without weapons yourself." Martin has already picked up the M16.

Tom also picked up a handful and fired at the rushing American troops. However, the M16 Tomp is not so convenient to control.

The Germans in the trenches were already fighting with the Americans.

"Ahh A German machine gunner was shot by a sniper again.

Thomp in the wooden shed. Just in time to see a fire flashing from behind a pile of broken wooden boxes outside the trench.

Martin ...... Can you take out that sniper? ”

"Hanging, I'm not in this business."

Thomp fired a shot at it with his rifle. Of course it didn't hit.

The sniper returned fire, but the bullet was "caught" by a German soldier who had just rushed to the door of the wooden shed.

Both Tone and Martin had apologetic expressions on their faces, then picked up their guns and ran.

They found a German anti-tank gun outside the trench, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces: "Why don't you use this thing against snipers?" ”

They pushed away the corpse next to the anti-tank gun, which Martin pushed into the wooden shed in the trench. Thomp took cover and killed a soldier who was about to shoot at them.

Once they were in the hut, the sniper spotted them and opened fire on them, sending Thomp and Martin down in a hurry. The bullet hit the tires of the anti-tank gun.

Thomp hurriedly loaded the cannonball, and Martin fired at the broken wooden box. Blowing up the pieces of wood in the air, the sniper inadvertently jumped out from behind the wooden box while dodging, and Ton took the opportunity to shoot, the bullet hit the sniper's shoulder, and the sniper fell to his knees with his shoulder. Tom was a little uncomfortable, but the other soldiers didn't think so, and watched an American soldier jump out and shoot at him together, and the sniper was stained with blood.

"The first trench is cleaned, attack the second!"

Some of the German soldiers crawled towards the second line of trenches, which also had bunkers. The other part remained in the first line of trench fire cover, and Thomp was one of them.

Gwense looked around with his binoculars, called his soldier over, drew his finger on the ground, and said: "Look, most of the positions of the machine gunners in the second line are on the left, and the other side is woods, the road is relatively rough, and there is only one machine gun there, we can take a detour and catch him by surprise." Their company commander, Captain Luzo, was also there listening

"Good idea, sir. The road was a bit rough, but not enough for a machine gun to block it. Mick said.

"Gwense, you have a good idea, your squad will go to the woods and get rid of the machine guns, and from there go into the trenches, and then our mortars will take advantage of the confusion of the Americans to cover the infantry to break through from the left.

They followed the trench to the woods on the right, where there were three Germans, who did not seem to dare to act rashly.

"Sir! Don't you think there's something wrong here, there's only one machine gun in the whole woods, which doesn't fit the norm, and you have to block this, at least three machine guns. A sergeant with a sniper scope said.

"Maybe the Americans don't have enough machine guns." Gyunse said.

"They shouldn't be stupid enough to do this. There were clearly too many machine guns on the left. It seems to be intentional. Thomp looked around and said.

"No matter, let's get rid of the machine gun first, sergeant, you protect us, and your people lend us a favor." Gwense was impatient.

The Germans threw a grenade at it and rushed over, and the submachine guns swept through it, killing five of the seven or eight American soldiers there on the spot, and two or three running away.

"Into the trenches!"

Suddenly, more than 20 American soldiers in white robes stood up in the snow, which turned out to be a decoy used to trap the Germans. Colonel Steum was really scheming.

With a "bang", an American machine gunner was killed.

"Well done!" At that moment, Toll said, several U.S. troops ran toward the sergeant.

"Be careful!" Tom killed the American soldiers with a submachine gun.

The sergeant fired another shot, killing another machine gunner. An American assistant shooter next to him was about to come over to take over, when the sergeant shot him again.

The Germans and Americans began to throw grenades at each other, the Germans were smaller in number, more dispersed, and took advantage, one German was killed, and four Americans were killed.

Mick used his machine gun to suppress the American troops who wanted to take over the machine gun. Gwenser, Thomp, and Martin took the opportunity to rush up, ran to the side of the American troops, and killed several American soldiers with submachine guns. Then the German riflemen also knocked out several of them.

The U.S. military could not resist such an attack and withdrew! (To be continued......)
