Eight hundred and ninety-two. Cavalry?
At night, the German soldiers rested on the side of the road, and although the ambush today had little impact on the German soldiers, it also taught the German soldiers a good lesson, that is, they should not underestimate the enemy in the future, and it was because of the pride of the German soldiers that the enemy almost succeeded in annihilating the German army in this ambush
But then again, tonight's dinner is actually TMD mashed potatoes with ketchup Slater remembered that pile of corpses after the last French ambush made the German soldiers learn a lot, although the safety factor has indeed improved a lot, but the speed of the march has also decreased a lot, if it was a thousand miles a day before being ambushed, then the current speed is not much different from the speed of the old man's walking, the lovely battalion commander of the German army Kuwait looked a little nervous after being ambushed last time, From time to time, tanks and infantry were required to maintain a combat formation, and the result can be imagined, the marching speed of the German soldiers not only decreased a lot, but also the daily journey was also very small, and the battle formation had to be changed once after 10 miles, which was unbearable for everyone.
He is really, how can a battalion of the German army attract so many ambushes from Allied troops? Don't go around with the main armored division of the German army, and keep staring at the German motorized infantry division?
Today is January 13th, and it has been two days since the battle for Natv, and when it comes to fighting, the Germans have hardly had direct contact with the enemy other than that counter-ambush.
The Germans encountered no obstacles along the way, but when the German soldiers reached the outer woods of a small town. The situation changed, and the Germans rested as usual, but before the sentries had fully reached their posts. Out of nowhere came a whole bunch well, Stella was sure she was not mistaken, a whole bunch of Arab cavalry!
God, it's 1966, will there still be cavalry on the battlefield? Stella quickly reacted, this is the cavalry of Saudi Arabia that joined the allied forces led by the United States!
They wielded broadswords, though they looked completely out of class with German weapons. But because of their sudden appearance, the German soldiers were unsuspecting, and the result can be imagined. The formation of the German soldiers was completely scattered, and Slat's D Company, because it was in a relatively backward position, had enough time for the German soldiers to adjust their formation when the troops of the 2nd Battalion in front of the battle with the cavalry of Natf, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Slatter.
Slater quickly asked the soldiers to fight back on the spot. But the situation ahead is just too chaotic. After Slater raised his gun, he found that he could not shoot at all, because the cavalry had scattered the entire 2nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion of the left flank of the German soldiers, and now the German 1st Battalion had a tendency to be surrounded, and looking at the gun, the enemy was mixed with many German soldiers of their own, and probably all the soldiers except the snipers could not shoot the cavalry in such a chaotic situation.
"Attention all the 1st battalion! Companies A and B and E provided support to the 3rd Battalion on the left flank without rushing over for hand-to-hand combat. Just pull out the line and keep your distance from the cavalry! D, G two in a row. I ask you to move forward quickly! Block the Natev cavalry attacking from the direction of the 2nd Battalion! Company C and Company F"
At the same time that the German battalion was about to be surrounded, the soldiers' dear battalion commander finally made a reflection, after receiving the order, Slater did not dare to slack off, and quickly approached the people of G Company, watching the people of the 2nd Battalion who were killed turn on their backs, Slater did not know if he could successfully block the enemy, when the Germans arrived at the combat position, the people of the 2nd Battalion saw the situation and had no ability to resist at all, they saw the arrival of their own people, and ran desperately to the defense line here, and it could not be said that they were retreating, to be precise, it should be a rout, Slater didn't know what the road was for, and he was ambushed twice in just 2 or 3 days!? That's too lucky, isn't it? Last time it was an artillery position, this time it was cavalry? Last time they were not mobile, and the Germans fought a successful anti-ambush battle with the support of tanks, but this time the German division commander had just transferred all the tanks, and the Germans were raided by highly mobile cavalry, and seeing that the 2nd and 3rd battalions had been defeated, it was very difficult for the German soldiers to organize a counterattack.
The cavalry chased the rout of the 2nd battalion and rushed towards Germany at a very fast speed, counting down to 3 seconds 123!
"Fire!" Slater shouted loudly, and the guns rang out, and at such a distance, the German soldiers successfully knocked out the enemy's first 3 platoons, and their charge sometimes became an advantage for the German soldiers, that is, they could not accurately hit the German soldiers in the rapid charge
However, it is certain that the Germans must now retreat a little, otherwise the enemy cavalry will rush into the German formation in a very short time, which will undoubtedly be fatal to the Germans.
"A row quickly backwards! Prepare in the second row, and quickly backwards when the first row is in place! Three rows in turn! ”
Slater asked the soldiers to retreat in layers, keeping as far distance as possible from the cavalry, and the results were good at first, and the German soldiers knocked out groups of enemies. But the opponents were cavalry after all, and such tactics did not delay them for long, and they rushed into the formation of the German soldiers, D and G companies.
"For the honor of the Empire! For the will of the baron! Kill! ”
Slater shouted morale-boosting words. The effect of this sentence was very good, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly improved, and their mouths involuntarily uttered "For the baron!" Or "For freedom!" And so on and so forth. They all became mad tigers and rushed into the cavalry of Natev to fight them, Slatt rushed to the front row, picked up a grenade, threw one into the enemy's formation, and with an explosion, 4 or 5 cavalry flew in all directions. Many soldiers followed Slatter's method and threw grenades, which did blow up a lot, and when the German soldiers collided with the enemy, it also signaled that the fierce hand-to-hand combat was once again unfolding
A cavalryman came at Slat, who thrust his bayonet into his horse. Before he could cut Slat, he was led by the horse and fell to one side, and Slatt jumped over quickly, and he did not get off the horse. Slatt stabbed the bayonet into his head hard, and the red blood burst out with the white brain, splashing all over Slat's body, and at this time there were more and more enemies around him, and suddenly some enemies swung their knives behind Slat.
"Sir!" A soldier pounced on Slat, and Slatt turned his head to see that the soldier's head had been slashed by the other party! Slater's heart was furious! He picked up the broadsword of the enemy he had just slain and rushed towards him, and he saw Slat rushing towards him. He swung his sword and tried to kill Slat, but Slatt slashed his knife sideways and blocked the attack. But there was a shock from his hand, and Slat's hands were numb, and he swung his knife sideways in severe pain, cutting off the front feet of the man's horse, and the horse did not roll over like the previous one. Because of the broken front foot, he fell down with the man heavily. Slatt looked at the man at this time, looking at the man's medal, the rank should be about the same as Slat, Slatt didn't dare to slack off and rushed towards him quickly, his reaction was very fast, he turned around and kicked himself in the stomach, the sharp pain from the abdomen made Slatt unable to continue to maintain his momentum, and fell to the ground. He tried to slash at Slatt with his knife, and Slatt blocked his attack with his knife again. But this guy's strength is definitely not blown, it's too scary, his hands are very painful, and the numbness of his hands makes Slatt almost have the strength to fight back immediately, Slatt rolled on the spot twice and stood up, he saw that Slatt seemed to have nothing to do, he was stunned at first, and then attacked Slatt again, Slatt fell to the side, he failed to kill Slat, Slatt quickly slashed at him with a knife, "Wow" blood splashed everywhere, but the guy didn't die, turned around and looked at Slat with painful eyes, the pain was filled with hatred, It seems that he will not stop until he tears Slatt to pieces.
He jumped at Slat, kicked Slatt with a fierce horizontal kick, and slashed again with the knife, Slatt might as well hold the knife vertically, his chest was so good against the knife, the whole knife was stabbed into his chest, his blood was splashed all over Slat's face, Slatt pushed his body away with great effort, and watched his men fall one by one as if they were being slaughtered
Suddenly, Slater felt a burning pain behind his back, Slater knew that someone rewarded himself with a knife in the back, Slater endured the severe pain and turned around and criticized, to know that when a person kills the red eye, the lethality is huge, at this time Slatt is such a person, probably because the horse is running, this time he killed the horse's abdomen, and donated blood to stir what intestines, stomach and other internal organs fell to the ground. The man fell off the horse, and saw that Slat's face was covered with blood and could not help but jump, and before he could react, Slatt stabbed him in the abdomen with a knife, and then pulled sideways, and he was almost cut in two by Slatter, and his internal organs fell with the sound, splashing everywhere, and even a section of intestines hit Slat's hand. But now Slatt only feels less and less energetic, and I wonder if it is because of the blood on his back, which makes him have symptoms of shock.
Gradually, Slatt felt so tired and tired, and when he came down, he could only vaguely hear someone calling Slat, who was calling the chief, and said that it was the voice of his own subordinates
"Slat! Slater! Harvey! ”
Faintly, Slatt heard a familiar voice calling Slat's name, who was it? Where is Slat? Is Slatt already dead? Slater opened his eyes tiredly, and saw a familiar and unflattened face of Doelinger
"Harvey, Harvey, are you okay?" Doulinger looked nervously at Slater.
"Hehe, I'm not a yellow flower girl, how can I be so delicate? It's okay, where is this? Only then did Slater have time to take a closer look at his surroundings, which was white.
"This is a field hospital, Ha Luha, I know that your kid has a big life, and he doesn't die so easily! Ha Lu Ha. Seeing that Slater was fine, Doulinger let out his exaggerated signature laugh again.
"Hey, hey, Slater said Ringer, I've been scared to death by you before I was killed! Why is Slatt in the field hospital, what happened to the troops? ”
At this time, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out, and Slatt was happy at the sight of them, and those boys were all his subordinates.
"Sir, you're all right, are you? Let's just say that you are blessed with a great life, and you will not be sacrificed so easily. "It's Slat's herald Arec, who is shrewd. The last time the German soldiers were ambushed by Natf's artillery, he was the one who urgently contacted the tanks, and only later did the tanks come to support the enemy's infantry, so that the enemy infantry was quickly routed.
"You kid, hehe. How could I die without you? Slater smiled and looked behind him: "Klinland, Vinster, and Putkorin, Haluha, why are you all here?" Why don't you continue to advance with the troops? Although Slatt was very happy about their appearance, he was even more surprised that they were here for a reason, after all, the speed of the army's advance was very fast.
"Because"
"I'll tell you. After the last ambush, the superiors decided to transfer your entire 807 Infantry Regiment to the rear to rest for a while, and then move to the front line to continue advancing. Doulinger snatched Arec's words: "Know the way." Last time, you were annoyed by the enemy's cavalry raid, and only 57 of the 112 D Company brothers were left, and the combat effectiveness dropped sharply, so the superiors decided to let you rest for a while. Don't think about it. Your superiors still attach great importance to you. ”
It can be seen that Doringer did not want Slater to have any negative thoughts about the decision of his superiors, so he said this. But at this time, Slater really didn't care whether he was transferred to the rear, because Slater heard the news that made Slat's heart ache even more than the news of being transferred to the rear, and the 112 soldiers of the German army D Company were beaten to only 57, and half of their brothers were killed in one battle.
"But to tell you the truth, you kid is really strong, he actually fought hand-to-hand combat with the enemy's cavalry, but it was really powerful, and he actually dragged the enemy's cavalry for more than 3 hours. By the time our tank units arrived, your regiment was almost gone, and when I arrived you were lying in a pile of corpses. Ha Lu Ha, you kid can be defeated by the local cavalry lieutenant colonel, Ha Lu Ha. ”
Hearing Doulinger's words, Slater was still very glad that his subordinates could contain the enemy cavalry for the troops for more than 3 hours, and seeing that Slat, who was surrounded by them, felt honored for them.
"By the way, Harvey, look what's next to your pillow." Doulinger looked at Slater with very gentle eyes at this time: "The chiefs have already been here when you are unconscious. They say that the courage and worthlessness you have shown in battle is an act of honor for an Imperial soldier, so you are awarded the Iron Cross as a special reward, and you are awarded the Order of Soldier of the Second Class to all of you in Company D. ”
"Ah, yes, it turned out that this thing was on my head and I didn't sleep well." Slater deliberately joked to make himself forget about the brothers who died in battle, but at this time Slater suddenly remembered something very important: "Doulinger, you go with me, there are some things I must tell you."
Seeing Slat's heavy face, Doulinger felt strange and followed Slater out of the hospital. "What's wrong, Harvey?"
"Doulinger, you've known me for six years, haven't you? So I have a lot of trust in you, and now I must tell you that I think there must be a spies in our troops! ”
"What? Why do you say that? ”
"Don't you think it's strange? Our troops were attacked three times and twice, and at first I thought it was because we were unlucky, but think about it, what kind of sneak attack or ambush of our enemy troops is to completely restrain our artillery or cavalry in terms of troops? Why did the enemy cavalry rush out as soon as the tank units left? ”
"Your conjecture is not entirely unreasonable, as you can see from your two ambushes, the first artillery and infantry ambush you said was encountered by chance by someone else. Then the second cavalry raid was a bit of an over-the-top coincidence. ”
Doulinger said thoughtfully, "Because the rest of our troops have been raided twice by the enemy's mechs, and each time they have appeared just as we were about to rest. ”
"Someone is wreaking havoc inside?" Slatt didn't know how his speculation would change the form of the battlefield in the future|: "Anyway, it's good for us to know about this matter now, don't stretch it out, or we will be charged with disturbing the morale of the army at that time." ”
"Of course, this matter is very important, Harvey, I will go to Jakes and tell him about the situation, you have a good rest, in two days your troops will be replenished with new recruits and will go to the front." Be careful, I'll go first. ”
"Okay, so are you." Slatt smiled and walked back.
2 p.m. the next day
The replenishment of new recruits arrived as scheduled, and this time the manpower increased to 120 people, hehe, in fact, it didn't increase much, just added 8. Slater looked at the group of recruits and couldn't help but smile: "You are the pride of the Empire, you are the heroes of the Empire!" Now you are about to follow your predecessors to the fiery front! You will go through the trials of life and death! We've already been ambushed twice by the enemy! Many comrades-in-arms also fell beside us! But for the honor of the Empire and the freedom and strength of the Empire, charge! ”
Slater shouted these morale-boosting words to the recruits, and when the veterans couldn't help but bow their heads when they heard Slatter's words, Slater knew that those words brought up their sad meetings, the indiscriminate bombardment of the artillery array, and the slaughter of the cavalry caused the Germans to lose a lot of their comrades.
When the enemy slaughtered his friends who had lived and studied together in the barracks on that day, the anger in the hearts of the German soldiers would turn him into a firm determination to fight to the end. (To be continued......)
