"Yes, the British army launched a rash attack, but it was defeated, and for this attack, even the German General Staff did not know about it, and the few units they had worked so hard to build were devastated!"

Outside Hanover, General Caroner said with a gloomy face: "The hardships in which the British assault group fell after the collapse of its flanks are beyond words, but fortunately the Steinmann battle group at Turton has taken the initiative to provide timely reinforcements to the British army." ”

This was something that Wang Weiyi did not expect, he did not expect that Tetun's German army would be able to reinforce the British under such difficult conditions.

"I can't control the British for the time being." Wang Weiyi looked at the battlefield where the battle was in full swing with a gloomy face: "We must now put all our energy on Hanover, no matter how the situation changes!" Did the Großdeutsche Mission arrive? ”

"Yes, the vanguard of the Greater German Regiment has arrived, as has the Royal 2nd Division."

"All on the offensive!" Wang Weiyi no longer had any hesitation: "Not a single soldier is left, all of them are put into the attack!" ”

At this time, Wang Weiyi and the Ernst cluster led by him had already put on a posture of breaking the boat, he no longer thought about what the situation was, no longer thought about the direction in which the battle would develop, the only important thing for him was how to capture Hanover, a city of great significance!

With Ernst. On the orders of Marshal Braim, the tragic offensive and defensive battle of Hanover officially began......

The Germans put on a posture of breaking the cauldron and sinking the ship, and the British army also put on a posture of breaking the cauldron and sinking the ship. Brigadier General Dolby mustered most of the forces he could muster. Relying on Hanover, it struggled to resist the German attack.

In the analysis of the Allied command, only Dolby and his troops were able to hold out in Hanover for five to seven days. The Germans would then be forced to abandon their intention to capture Hanover and re-advance towards Terton, and during this time, no matter how tenacious the Germans of Terton, could not continue to defend Turton with their meager forces...... Well, the balance of victory has shifted heavily in favor of the Allies......

Time is of the essence for either party......

Artillery fire ravaged the city. The armies of both sides are intermingled, and the planes that keep appearing in the sky are also strangling life and death. Luftwaffe taking off from the Fort Dukran airstrip. Like their army brethren, they also showed their loyalty in the skies over Hanover......

This is the sky red with blood, this is the earth red with blood......

The British Royal 2nd Division, which had been placed at the forefront, had already learned that the British attack on the Turton line had suffered a crushing defeat. They were shocked and heartbroken at the same time. He poured out all his anger on the enemy on the other side.

Sometimes war is not just war, war – or the truest expression of inner emotions......

Although the combat quality of these newly formed British troops is not high, the tenacious spirit they show is admirable. They, like the Germans, launched wave after wave of attacks on Hanover with a fearless spirit.

For Dolby, in fact, he was not so alarmed at this time, although the strength of the enemy on the opposite side far exceeded his own, but the commander-in-chief of Westmoreland had already called him. Two Australian infantry divisions will soon arrive. And this is equivalent to giving Brigadier General Duby a reassurance......

The arrival of reinforcements. The confidence of the US military was greatly increased, and under the cover of air fighters and ground artillery fire, they struggled to support and resist the frenzied attacks from the enemy.

The corpses were scattered all over the mountains, and the blood collected into small rivers...... Since the invention of war, the terrible shadow of death has not disappeared for a single day...... This is probably the ugliest and most despicable invention of mankind......

The determination of the US military to resist also greatly exceeded the expectations of the Germans and British, and this also verifies that with the continuation of the war, the combat effectiveness of any unit is gradually strengthening, and their fighting determination and combat experience are no longer comparable in the early days of the war.

Wang Weiyi also saw all this clearly, but he didn't think there was anything to worry about, in the course of the war, there will always be such and such sudden situations, as a commander, what he has to do is to choose trust, he firmly believes that his soldiers will be able to meet their combat requirements.

He didn't even ask where the front was going......

At this time, the Waffen-SS Kolk Tank Assault Group once again encountered their old rival, the 126th Panzer Regiment of the American Army, and this time, the 126th Panzer Regiment appeared on the battlefield with a vengeful mentality.

Colonel Walkin thanked Brigadier General Duby for his trust in him, and thanked Brigadier General Duby for what he said for him, allowing him to avoid punishment. In return, he could only respond to Brigadier General Dolby's trust with his performance on the battlefield.

It's just that in the battle the day before, the 126th Panzer Regiment had already suffered heavy losses, especially for the confidence and morale of the soldiers, which was a great damage, and such damage was difficult to make up for in a short period of time, which was vividly demonstrated on the battlefield.

In the shell fire, the American tanks often could not hold out for a long time and retreated from the battlefield in a panic, and their determination and will to resist seemed to be far inferior to that of the American GIs in the Marine Brigade.

And for this Colonel Walkin there is no solution...... The only thing he could do was put himself at the forefront like an ordinary soldier......

He and his tank bravely stood at the forefront, constantly using shells and machine guns to fire at the enemy, refusing to back down a single step. In this way, he hopes to inspire the courage and determination of the soldiers, and to report on Brigadier General Dolby's trust in him.

If the German armored units on the opposite side were a group of black panthers that smelled blood, then the 126th Panzer Regiment of the US Army at this time. It's a pack of hyenas that have been wounded.

The wreckage of a large number of tanks lay on the battlefield, and some charred corpses hung from the destroyed tanks. This is the most shocking scene, and this is the one that makes people after the end of the war. Even if you close your eyes, you will see a scene.

It was also at this moment that Colonel Walkin's tank was unfortunately hit......

The colonel jumped out of the tank, and the commander next to him shouted for the colonel to leave immediately, but this was flatly refused.

"I will not leave here, and I will not leave here until the end of the war......" the colonel's answer was so firm: "Tell General Dubi that my armored regiment has suffered heavy blows and can no longer fight, but. I will deliver on my promise! ”

His promise was that he would wash away his shame with his own death......

Walkin drew his pistol and cried out loudly: "For the glory of America!" ”

He turned into a wounded beast...... He kept telling himself. This is your own grave......

The courage of the American soldiers around him seemed to be inspired by the colonel, who shouted loudly and shouted loudly to launch a counter-charge against the Germans.

This is a scene that the 126th Armored Regiment of the US Army will never forget. Here they suffered the heaviest losses since the formation of the army.

Colonel Walkin died on June 30, 1966...... The U.S. 126th Panzer Regiment was destroyed on June 30, 1966......

Two-thirds of the tanks. In this battle, it was devastated, and the entire armored regiment was completely destroyed......

When Brigadier General Dolby heard the news, he felt a wave of dizziness in his head and almost fainted. Truth be told, he admired Colonel Walkin, and knew that he was by no means a timid and cowardly officer. He succeeded in inspiring the Colonel in his own way, but the result was that he lost Colonel Walkin and almost an entire armored regiment.

Their only success was to temporarily stop the frenzied German attack......

In the afternoon, two Australian infantry divisions arrived at Hanover. This is where Dolby is grateful.

And an unexpected situation happened, just as Brigadier General Duby and the commander of the Australian troops were discussing the battle plan. A German captain named Lampden asked to see the top commander of the American army immediately.

"I'm Brigadier General Dolby." Dolby still has no idea what the enemy is trying to do.

"I'm Captain Lampden." Captain Lampden saluted: "General, we found the remains of a fallen soldier on the battlefield, judging by his nameplate, he is the commander of the 126th Armored Regiment of the US Army, Colonel Walkin. We sorted out the Colonel's body and followed the Ernst Colonel's body. Marshal Bramm's orders, return to you the body of Colonel Walkin. ”

Brigadier General Dolby couldn't believe what he heard, as did the American and Australian officers.

The enemy, in turn, sent back the body of Colonel Walkin......

"General, the colonel's body is outside, and if nothing happens, I'll take my leave."

"Captain, please convey for me my gratitude to Field Marshal Ernst." Brigadier General Dolby calmed his mood for a moment: "Please help me tell the marshal that no matter how the war is won or lost, I will definitely let all Americans know what he has done." ”

The captain left, and there was a long silence in the command.

"A gentleman on the battlefield, huh?" It was a long time before Brigadier General Dolby said, "A true gentleman, and he still has the good qualities that have been in us since the First World War, and these qualities have never been seen in us, have they?" ”

He was struck by what Field Marshal Ernst had done...... For the first time, he knew that war could be fought like this......

War, sometimes not just a contest of life and death!

Brigadier General Dolby didn't know what to do, Ernst. Marshal Bram admired the brave soldiers, and on the battlefield he would never forgive any of his enemies, and he would drive them all out in his own way, but when his enemies showed enough bravery on the battlefield, he would also show his respect.

The process of the death of Colonel Walkin. Wang Weiyi was reported by the front-line commander, and he felt a little regretful, and he also felt that the enemy's colonel should be respected. In a peculiar way, he expressed his greatest respect for Colonel Walkin.

Ernst. Marshal Bream's actions. Soon word spread among the U.S. and Australian servicemen that they were shocked by the enemy's approach and that subtle changes were taking place in their hearts. And a title for the enemy's supreme commander also began to quietly spread among the allies:

The most gentleman of the last days!

Yes, the last gentleman, that's what the Allies call Ernst. Marshal Bream's.

However, Ernst. Marshal Bream, the last gentleman. After doing his gentlemanly acts, he soon continued to show his hideous fangs on the battlefield!

The German offensive was quickly resumed after a brief halt......

After the afternoon, Wang Weiyi committed all the forces of the German Greater German Regiment, the Kolk Tank Assault Group, and the British Royal 2nd Division. A frenzied offensive was renewed towards Hanover. The British Royal Third Division was regarded by him as the general reserve.

He is not willing to give the enemy any respite, and he must completely break the enemy's defenses with waves of attacks that rise higher than the other. Time, for him and the German troops, was the most precious thing.

War. It's still playing out according to his wishes......

Brigadier General Dolby at this time. He left only one infantry regiment at Hanover, and used all his forces outside the city, hoping that this would stop the enemy's attack and delay the enemy's footsteps.

He was also a very brave soldier, appearing on the most dangerous front lines several times, personally directing all the soldiers to attack or defend. In this way, he must inspire the determination of his soldiers to fight tenaciously to the end, and he must use this way to fulfill the instructions of Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland to himself.

Wounded soldiers were constantly being sent to Hanover, and the hospital was too busy to describe in words. Doctors and nurses are constantly complaining about their lack of manpower. But the Germans in Hanover were by no means willing to offer the enemy any help.

They hated to see Americans or Australians killed by valiant German soldiers, and they loved to see enemy soldiers die in the wails of pain.

Soon. The soldiers of the German Reich will reappear here, and soon it will return to the bosom of Germany.

However, not all Germans in Hanover did this, and few Germans were willing to "help" the enemy in a special way.

They are responsible for the task of transporting the wounded...... It's just strange that many of the wounded died inexplicably on the way to the hospital......

This quickly aroused the suspicion of Brigadier General Duby, who quickly ordered the gendarmerie to investigate, and the case was not complicated at all.

These Germans, who were "active" and willing to help, were led by a German named Reit, and secretly dealt with the wounded American or Australian soldiers on the way, they could not fight like the German soldiers, but they could use such a special way to fight for their homeland.

In the face of Brigadier General Dolby, Reit and his companions did not have the slightest fear, but looked at the American general with a smile.

"Why do you want to do this?" Dolby was surprised to find that he was not particularly angry, but instead sighed and asked.

"If your country is invaded, you will do the same...... Reitter smiled slightly, "We have been waiting for this day to come, and when this day does come, I think we must have some other way to serve Germany." Is it, General? ”

Dolby looked at them, then asked slowly, "Do you know that you will be shot if you do this?" ”

"Of course we know it." Reitt still has no fear: "All of us will die, but we are proud of what we have done. Now, you can give the order to get started. ”

Dolby suddenly felt a little lost, and he realized that he didn't know what to do...... Shoot them? Yes, he could have given this order without hesitation, but in his heart, he felt that these Germans had actually done nothing wrong.

"If your country is invaded, you will do the same...... Reitt is not wrong in saying that no one wants to see their country invaded......

This is a group of brave people who are not afraid of death, and they have long been ready for this day.

However, they also have their own responsibilities. Just as Dolby was about to give the order, he suddenly thought of the gentleman who was the worst gentleman on the battlefield:

Ernst. Brahm!

What would he do if he were faced with such a situation? Dolby suddenly made up his mind: "Mr. Reitt, you were sentenced to death for killing Allied soldiers, but do you think you did all these things alone?" ”

Reit was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the intention of the enemy commander, and he was slightly grateful: "Yes, General, I did all these things alone. ”

"Let's execute Reitt, then." Dolby looked at him deeply: "See you soon, Mr. Reitt." ”

"See you soon, General." Reiter smiled there again: "Thank you for your actions, maybe this will allow you to reduce your guilt in the German military tribunal." ”

Dolby said in a voice that only he could hear, "What you really owe to be thankful for is Ernst, the last gentleman on the battlefield!" (To be continued......)
