"We are retreating, the 1st Army is retreating, the 3rd Army is retreating, the 7th Army is retreating. But we're on the offensive! ”

This is the skeleton baron Ernst. Brem to the commander-in-chief of the 7th Army, von Murphy. Telegram from Kassel.

All are retreating, but - we - are attacking!

When Ernst's telegram reached General Kassel and to all the senior officers and staff of the 7th Army, everyone was moved.

As Ernst said when he was only a lieutenant:

We're on the offend!

In an instant, General Kassel's eyes turned red, what kind of soldier is this! What kind of spirit is this!

Five major offensives organized by the Germans failed, but Ernst . Bram was undefeated:

We're on the offend!

Germany needs such a spirit! Germany, such soldiers are needed:

We're on the offend!

"They're attacking!" General Kassel trembled and uttered these words: "But we are retreating!" The iron-blooded soldiers of Germany, only Ernst remained! ”

"General, attack!"

"Attack, General!"

"General Kassel, we can still fight, we can still launch a sixth offensive!"

General Cassel shook his head silently and smiled sadly: "No, we don't have the ability to launch the sixth offensive, and I don't have the right to do so." The enemy's counteroffensive will soon begin, and I must obey the orders of the High Command for the future of Germany"

There was silence in the headquarters

Only that voice still rings in everyone's ears:

We're on the offend!

"Colonel. The 30th Infantry Division of the US Army is approaching us. Guo Yunfeng held a piece of grass in his mouth and said indifferently: "Soon we will be able to see those Americans." ”

"Four knives, I'm sorry" Wang Weiyi suddenly said such a sentence.

"What's wrong. Captain? Guo Yunfeng was a little strange.

Wang Weiyi nodded back: "I asked Rommel and them to evacuate, leaving only you"

"Hey, Colonel, how can you say such a thing." Guo Yunfeng interrupted the colonel's words: "You learned that Lu Dao, my life was saved by you, and I have to follow you no matter what." Also, we've all experienced more dangerous things than this. None of the Somme enemies have been able to do anything to us. What are Americans to be afraid of? ”

"yes, what are Americans to be afraid of?" Wang Weiyi smiled: "Four knives, let's stage a miracle here." ”

There are their own brothers here. There is nothing to be afraid of!

"Steck, Boncree, Sean!"

"Here!"

"I'm going to divide the team into three formations again. I commanded the first detachment, Steck. You are the temporary captain of the second detachment. Boncree, you are the interim captain of the third detachment. ”

"Yes, Colonel."

"Sean, I'll give you all the opportunity to command and form a machine gun team." Wang Weiyi called these three of his old subordinates to his side: "Smith didn't take us to heart, so we'll give him a good look." Steck, you and Sean stay behind and hold off the enemy head-on. All fire. Don't care about bullets, I'm lying in ambush on the left flank, wait until the Americans arrive. I'm going to teach them a hard lesson! ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

"Buncrere!" Wang Weiyi set his eyes on Boncreere: "You personally selected a group of accurate marksmanship, and after I launch an attack, you will mainly kill and injure their officers!" ”

"Okay, Colonel, leave it to me."

"All submachine guns are at the disposal of my first detachment, and I must crush the enemy at the first assault!" Wang Weiyi's voice was so calm: "When there is chaos in the Americans, all the troops will attack at the same time and completely disrupt their establishment." Remember, we only have 3,000 people, and we must fight harder and not let the Americans react! ”

"Colonel, we are confident in fighting with you!"

Wang Weiyi licked his somewhat dry lips, and a hint of sarcasm appeared coldly at the corner of his mouth.

The Americans who have just set foot on the battlefield in Europe are just recruits who have not fought in a long time, and this time, it is just a lesson to teach them that this is the most real battlefield:

A battlefield that will bleed and die!

Brigadier General Smith didn't think so, as an honor graduate of West Point, it was not particularly difficult to achieve victory on the European continent.

The defeat of the Germans is difficult to say now, but Smith is sure that the defeat of the skeletal baron is imminent.

"General, the positions deployed by the Germans have been discovered in front."

"Stop moving." Smith waved his hand: "Send a reconnaissance team to carefully figure out the situation with the Germans." Troops stop advancing and get ready for battle! ”

"Stop advancing, prepare for battle!"

The 30 Division stopped its advance. Smith felt a little excited that the first battle of the American army in the European theater would start by himself.

The first victory will also start by yourself! This will be a victory that will go down in history!

Unfortunately, the scouts didn't bring much good news to Smith. The Germans were very well guarded, and before they could get closer, the machine guns had already fired them back.

"Bluffing." Smith twitched his nose with great disdain: "The troops are scattered, the artillery is ready, and the attack will be launched in 20 minutes!" ”

Several howitzers and some mortars pulled the prelude to the first war of the American army in Europe

The shells fell on the German positions and were scattered in a somewhat scattered way, and the artillerymen, like the soldiers of the other 30th Division, were on the battlefield for the first time, and in their opinion, this battle was not much different from the previous exercises.

On the other side, Wang Weiyi has been observing the movements of the Americans.

He couldn't understand too well that the American army at this time had not yet formed combat effectiveness, and the materials they brought to the European battlefield even included toilet mats.

Any powerful combat unit has only matured on the battlefield, and now is the most favorable time to strike hard at the Americans

Scattered shelling lasted 20 minutes, and the offensive of the Americans began

The formation is well maintained, and the usual training is still very effective, but there are some things that can never be taught on the training ground, such as:

Death!

As they approached the enemy's position, the Americans suddenly had a feeling that they had never felt before

Quiet, the positions of the Germans on the opposite side were just too quiet and a terrible quiet

Then the sound of gunfire pierced the silence

All the machine guns rang out together, like a giant lawn mower running over the grass, and the Americans fell like rows of grass in the mower's crush.

A stormy blow!

Machine guns taught the Americans one thing on the battlefield: the quieter the battlefield, the more terrible the crisis looms!

The Americans were in a state of chaos

"Moby, save me, save me!"

"Stevenson, are you there? I can not see you! ”

"Machine guns, machine guns, I need cover from machine guns!"

No one knows who is calling it, and no one knows what it is called.

All they knew was that the machine gun on the other side of the road was shooting at them like crazy. The bullets were so dense that they had no way to fight back.

Some Americans ran back in embarrassment, and some crawled away from this terrible battlefield little by little.

In short, the first attack lasted less than ten minutes, and the Americans were completely repulsed.

Immediately, the battlefield fell into a terrible silence again

Now, no one finds it interesting to be quiet in which life-threatening bullets are fired at any time and at all times.

Those Germans hid behind this terrible silence

Smith didn't expect his first battle in Europe to end in such a way that his soldiers were beaten back by the damned Germans before they could fire a few shots.

And the 30 Infantry Division threw down dozens of corpses.

God, those children went with them, and now they can't go back.

Brigadier General Smith, who was a man of some superstition, firmly believed that everything had to get off to a good start, and that war was no different.

In any case, you have to bring something back today, otherwise it will be unlucky in the future.

At the instigation of Smith, the reinvigorated Americans began to launch a second attack! The offensive seemed to have picked up somewhat, and the American soldiers began to be extra cautious.

As usual, a round of artillery fire was prepared, but this time the preparation took more than an hour. Those American artillerymen didn't care how many shells were used, and the endless supply would arrive soon.

However, the Americans soon discovered that no matter how many shells they fired, it was still so quiet on the opposite position.

A kind of terrible silence in the midst of the sound of artillery.

The German soldiers were silently patient, they had to endure, and now that they had no artillery support, they had to wait until the moment when the Americans began to attack and teach them another hard lesson.

The machine guns had long been properly hidden, and now every machine gun, every bullet was a treasure for the German soldiers.

No matter how fierce the artillery fired, the hearts of the German soldiers were filled with hope for victory, and this hope was brought to them by one person:

Ernst. Colonel Braeme!

The colonel is nearby, and he is waiting for the most opportune moment to deliver the most fatal blow to the Americans!

When that time comes, the Americans will know what a real war is! (To be continued.) )
