The origin of the Ranger motto is not from the beginning of its formation, but after the battle of the C Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Ranger during World War II.

During World War II, the Rangers participated in the 2nd and 5th Battalions of the Normandy landings. On D-Day 1944, the main force of the Normandy landings was the 7th and 5th Corps of the U.S. Army, and the Rangers were part of the 5th Corps. The 5th Army Corps was dominated by the 29th Infantry Division, with the 1st Infantry Division on the right flank and the Provisional Ranger Group consisting of the 2nd and 5th Ranger Regiments on the left.

It is generally believed that the characteristics of the American infantry in World War II were young, highly educated, and generally inexperienced in combat, but for the Rangers, the battlefield was where they played their skills. On the day of the landing, the U.S. troops encountered a fierce attack from the German 352nd Infantry Division, and when the other infantry were suppressed by fire and could not advance, the highly trained rangers quickly broke through the line without fear of life and death.

In the Normandy landings, the Rangers suffered heavy casualties, but the Rangers' bravery and good fighting not only impressed the infantry of the 29th Division, but also won the 29th Division's deputy commander NormanD. General Cota's praise, thus leaving the immortal motto "Rangers, be the vanguard!" ”（Rangers，leadtheway)

After the landing, Company C of the 2nd Battalion suffered 58 casualties, so that the entire company was disintegrated. Maybe you still don't know how legendary the C Company of the Second Rangers Battalion is, but you only need to know one movie - "Saving Private Ryan".

This movie tells the story of the Rangers, and it tells the story of Company C of the Second Battalion of the Rangers. And the motto "Rangers, be the vanguard" was called from this legendary company that was beaten to the point of disorganization.

A lot of times the Rangers aren't special forces, but they can always solve the problems that need to be solved before the special forces arrive. It's the most formidable light infantry unit in the world, and its style is speed.

Facing the legendary company standing in front of him, Xiao Qi stretched out his hand and pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "Return to your post and fulfill your duties." ”

The voice is not loud, but it carries an absolute majesty that cannot be disobeyed.

"Chief, the little knight is dead, and more than twenty other brothers are dead, and we have to take revenge, we have to take revenge. We can't be cowards, we can't be turtles with shrunken heads! The Ranger charged, "Maybe they've won an honor, but is it really an honor?" It's a shame! The great shame of the Rangers is a shame that you will never get away with in your life. In addition to the shame, there is also sorrow, because the little knight is your last son! ”

The Rangers want to fight, they want to take revenge, and they don't want to shrink here as shrunken turtles. It was a disgrace, an endless disgrace, far more than the mission of going to Somalia in 1993 to hunt down the reactionary warlord Aidid.

At the beginning of the operation, the Delta Special Forces team members quickly subdued the enemy, but the UH-60 "Black Hawk" helicopter stranded in the air attracted more militants.

As a result, 2 Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and many teammates were killed and wounded, while the rest of the team members were surrounded by militia regiments and could not leave. Although the coalition forces launched four rescue operations one after another, they were all met with stubborn resistance from the militia. It wasn't until the evening that the coalition again sent two companies of task forces including Navy SEALs and Rangers, two Malaysian mechanized companies, one Pakistani tank platoon and Air Force special forces to the rescue.

After a fierce battle, the coalition forces finally rescued the besieged team members, but they also paid a considerable price: the operation paid the price of 18 dead and 80 wounded, the rangers themselves had 16 dead and 57 wounded, 1 missing and 1 captured, of which the second "Black Hawk" helicopter had few survivors, and even the 2 snipers of the Delta Special Forces who went to reinforce were also shot.

The Rangers' massive number of casualties also indirectly led to the downfall of Secretary of Defense Cohen in the Clinton administration.

The incident was made into a movie called "Black Hawk Down." 》

The Rangers seem to have a connection to the movies, and many of their actions have been brought to the screen. The reason why it will be put on the screen can only show one thing: this is a legendary, flesh-and-blood special forces.

"Back to work! Dedication! ”

Pointing at the end of the hallway, the horseman's voice was louder, and anger began to appear on his face. It wasn't what he wanted to see.

"Boss !!" The Ranger looked sad and angry, and shouted at Xiao Xiao, "We really can't sit here and do nothing, we have to do something......"

"We are soldiers, we are glorious rangers! It is the duty of the military to obey orders, and if the order is not given, we do not have any authority to carry out any actions without authorization! The rider took a step forward, stretched out his hand to straighten the ranger's equipment, and said in a low voice, "I understand your feelings, but you should also understand my feelings. We are soldiers, and soldiers have to obey orders. When the order is not given, we have to sit here and polish your gun a little brighter, if we have to do something. You don't need to put on too much gun oil because Somalia is hot. Also, don't rush to die, there is always a chance for us to die. Go back, Rangers, stay at your posts, do your duty, and the flying Star-Spangled Banner will see what you're doing. ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the end of the hallway, not even looking at the rangers standing in a row.

He was patient, suffering from the pain in his heart, suppressing the flames of revenge that rose in his heart. Because he is a soldier, a glorious Ranger professional soldier under the Star Spanglers!

“Sir！ A ranger frantically wanted to run over and shouted: "The headquarters order, the third platoon of the C company of the second battalion will go to Africa to carry out reinforcements, and the commander of the second battalion, the commander of the cavalry, will appoint a commander to attack immediately!" Strike now!! ”

Hearing this voice, Xiao Qi's eyes changed instantly. Just now it was full of sadness and depression, but at this moment, it was like a tiger about to come out, with a strong murderous aura all over his body, and his eyes were striking.

"Confirm the order!" The rider roared in a low voice.

"Confirm the order!" The ranger said loudly: "The headquarters requires the third platoon of the C Company of the 2nd Battalion to attack immediately to reinforce the African battlefield. Airborne location: Dadaab, Kenya! Cut off its back road, one hit will kill! ”

The order came, the order came!

"Rangers!" Xiao Cavalry turned sharply and rushed at the Ranger troops behind, bared his teeth, and roared with a hideous face: "Be a striker!! ”

"Rangers! Be a striker! ”

"Rangers! Be a striker!! ”

"Rangers! Be a striker!! ”

“……”

Xiao Cavalry was the first to rush to the camp airfield, he didn't have to endure it, he could justify the Rangers under the order, wash away the shame, and avenge his son!

The helicopter lifted into the air and quickly moved towards the military airfield. The Rangers are dispatched, the legendary Second Battalion of Rangers is dispatched, and it is the soul of the Rangers who leads them, the Horseman!
