One thousand and five. Fire!

"Rumble Rumble" The sound of tank engines came from the valley in front of it, and the whole earth was trembling inexplicably, as if a large group of tanks in the valley was rushing towards the position.

The sound of metal grinding between the tracks and the load-bearing wheels echoed in the valley, which was extremely harsh and terrifying, making the remnants of the soldiers who heard it terrifying, as if they had already fallen into the torrent of American armor.

The sound grew heavier and closer, and dozens of seconds later, a group of tank crews in camouflage uniforms appeared in view, and at this time there were still 1,000 meters from the position.

"Steinman, what are we going to do?" Bentonson looked at the group of American tanks rumbling in the distance, and his heart was in chaos, so many tanks drove out of the valley, how strong was the enemy force in this first wave of attack? He felt that this first wave of attacks should be the most stressful one.

"We don't fire until the enemy infantry comes on." Steinman knew in his heart that the key to stopping the first wave of attack was to be able to block his large and powerful infantry charge, and his tank group clusters were often not a cause for concern, and Steinman's current combat method was to wait until the moment the infantry appeared before firing fire, but Steinman also thought of the worst-case scenario.

"Wait, wait, concentrate on attacking the enemy's tanks!" Romeo of the British Royal 1st Division ordered to take a bazooka in his hand, and at this time, the tank was gradually approaching the position and was within the effective range of the bazooka. ”

"Wait, wait, wait, wait for my orders." Beads of sweat flowed from Romeo's forehead, and his eyes were fixed on the group of tanks in front of him.

"Romeo. Don't expose the overall firepower of the position until the enemy infantry comes on, the enemy's infantry is the biggest threat. Steinman reminded Romeo and signaled for the British 23mm gun emplacements on either flank of the position to be under his command. Because in the later anti-infantry stage, these small-caliber cannons were the absolute backbone of firepower.

"Listen to you, but the tanks we will destroy." Romeo forced his composure, and by 200 meters from the tank, he was already within range of all his weapons, but he hesitated, not knowing what kind of retaliation he would incur. But the current situation did not allow him to hesitate at all.

"Ready—fire!" Romeo gave an order, dozens of loud noises on the position, and dozens of rockets flew towards the American tanks. Due to the short distance, most of the rockets were accurate, and they hit the US tanks at the head, while the tank troops that hit them caught fire and exploded and lost their combat capability. But the follow-up tank. After crashing into the wreckage in front of them and continuing to advance, the US tanks continued to rush towards the position, nearly 100 tanks continued to march and fire their guns to regroup and rush towards the position, and at this time, the earth-shattering sound of infantry running came from the rear of the tank group.

"Romeo, take out the enemy tanks! They want to use tanks as shields for infantry and cover infantry charges! Beat the tank! Steinman shouted as he looked at the infantry brigade behind the tank with a telescope. It turned out that the first wave of attacking American tanks was to use their own shields as a shield to cover the group charge of their own infantry, so that their own infantry could break into the British position and launch a slaughtering knife formation. And often the American infantry broke into the position and the position was lost.

"Anti-tank group attack tanks! Fast! Romeo commanded the British anti-tank group to attack the tanks, although the American tanks were getting closer and closer to the position, but due to the intensive rocket rain and anti-tank fire of the British anti-tank group, the American tanks less than 50 meters away from the position were beaten into scrap metal, but this was the surprise of all the defenders, it turned out that the American tanks and infantry were so close to each other, so that when the last tank was destroyed, the subsequent infantry was less than 50 meters away from the position...... It's a distance that almost means defeat...... The U.S. infantry collectively chanted this, and rushed towards the position with weapons in hand, and the dense crowd was like a man-eating ant colony in South America, which could sweep away the defenders of the position at any time, and after the sweep, it would be Bai Sensen's human bones......

Romeo was stunned by the scene in front of him, the British soldiers around him were still firing fiercely, but they were surprised to find that the bullets fired by their small arms did not have a lethal effect on the oncoming American troops at all, and the bullets hit the American soldiers either unable to wear body armor or make the American infantry pause, it seemed that the man-eating ant colony in front of them was unstoppable, and defeat was a foregone conclusion, but this was, Steinman, who had been silent for a long time, spoke: "All fire!" ”

Dada...... Bang bang...... The Germans, armed with small arms with special ammunition, blocked the path of the American infantry charge with neat firepower, knocking down the American infantry in patches, while the 23mm cannon temporarily assigned to Steinman also roared, and the shells with extremely high muzzle velocity and great penetration of lightly armored targets pierced the columns of American infantry from end to end.

"Romeo, the mortar is ready to fire!" "Understood" that hundreds of multi-millimeter mortar shells were falling from the sky after Romeo's order, most of the shells exploded in a volley with an air-blown fuse, and a large area of American soldiers swept into a large area of shrapnel in a radial manner, and at a distance of 50 meters from the front of the position, the corpses of the American infantry were increasing......

"Throw grenades!" Steinman ordered the fragmentation grenades in his hand to be thrown out, and then dozens of fragmentation grenades rolled into the charging ranks of the American infantry, blowing up a large group of American infantry, but the American infantry remained unmoved, and still launched a rapid charge, and the momentum of its attack continued unabated.

Steinman suddenly felt pressure, he didn't expect that the U.S. military launched such a desperate attack, suffered huge casualties and did not stop the impact, it seems that the U.S. military is really coming, but now Steinman is helpless, Steinman can only order the German army to increase the density of firepower.

"Bentonson, is the 183mm heavy forced set-up?" The Germans brought four 183mm heavy self-propelled mortars with them, and their high-explosive shells and special fragmentation grenades were extremely lethal against cluster targets, which could come in handy at this moment.

“...... It's arranged, just waiting for your orders! ”

"Don't hesitate! Fire! "Several 183-mm shells suddenly fell from the sky and smashed into the American infantry group. The group of infantry, which had been crowded in an instant, had now fallen in large numbers.....

Romeo brought the signal soldier on the side: "Order the rocket artillery to cover the valley!" Fast! ”

"Yes...... It's ......" the signal corpsmen trembled and contacted the artillery in the rear, and several times on the way they were frightened and overwhelmed.

Nearly a hundred rockets hit the open field in front of the valley almost at the same time. Swept by a burst whirlwind, the charging American infantry group was completely defeated.

"Bang...... Romeo breathed a sigh of relief and fell into the trench in pain, the previous defeat was a complete nightmare in his eyes, if it were not for the timely opening of German fire and the covering blow of artillery, the outer positions might have been in danger of being breached.

"Romeo...... Inform your rocket artillerymen to move quickly......" Steinman cautiously looked in the direction of the valley with his telescope, watching out for the blockers. While reminding Romeo in a very serious tone. Steinman knows that he survived the first wave of attacks, and often the second wave of attacks is more difficult to support. And the second wave of offense is usually more impactful, terrifying, and shocking than the first wave of offense. But it's more about surprises. Unexpectedly, Steinman gestured to a few German troops on the side, signaling to retreat to the second-line position, and the snipers listened to my command, and then, Romeo, if you don't want them to be collectively reimbursed after just one salvo, let them move,

"I know it! They are already transferring! Romeo said, picking up the magazines on the ground one by one. Place on the sandbag and take the grenades out of the ammo box one by one. Prepare for the next wave of attacks.

"Steinman! They often say that they have reached the three-way junction line, that they are helping to lay mines, and I feel that they are in trouble......

Bentonson's tone suddenly became a little frightened, "Valley! With an exclamation, all the British soldiers and mercenaries looked at the valley, and a large white mist-like gas in the valley was spreading towards the bottom at a very fast speed, and no one knew what it was......

"Gas!" "Gas!" The unwitting British soldiers shouted in panic, although the Germans had been on the battlefield for a long time, and there was no overly excited expression and behavior on the surface, but they were all uncertain in their hearts.

“...... Gas? That's ......" Romeo and Steinman looked at the unknown white mist gas that was about to envelop the position, was it poison gas? Still is......

After tens of seconds, the white gas completely enveloped the position, and the valley ahead completely disappeared from the field of vision of the German army, and the German and British troops saw a white world shrouded in foggy gas, and the visibility was lower than that even if the two were close together, they might not be able to see each other completely......

"It's smoke...... Steinman said in a relaxed tone, and as soon as he finished speaking, Steinman suddenly thought of something. Prepare to retreat to the second line position! ”

"What? What's wrong, Steinman. Bentonson hesitated to wear a gas mask, and although he was already in the gas and had no poisoning reaction, Steinman's words did make him a little confused, "What's the matter, it's not poison gas." Steinman didn't reply.

At this time, although the German and British troops in the unknown white gas no longer had the previous panic, the white gas had an inexplicable coldness, which made the German and British soldiers shiver, and the most important thing was that no one knew what the gas was......

Steinman tried to observe the situation in the fog, but nothing happened......

"Steinman! No reaction! Bentonson roared angrily, like an enemy hiding in the smoke......

“...... Steinman, I think...... Something is wrong with the smoke. Bentonson took the gun to his eyes.

"Romeo, tell all the people on the first line to retreat to the second line," Steinman's eyes warily scanned the still mysterious and unusual smoke area ahead...... The sniper is at my command......"

"Ready to fight!" Romeo drew his bayonet from his waist bolt and the British soldiers on either side did the same, as the smoke grew thicker.

The surrounding German and British soldiers were staring at the smoke zone in a state of great fear, and the British 23mm machine gun positions also laid their guns flat, facing the smoke zone in front, they all put their fingers on the trigger, and their bayonets were ready to stab forward at any time, but the ...... in front of them The white expanse seemed to be completely dodged by flashbangs...... Everyone on the battlefield held their breath. Don't dare to make a single sound, as if a small murmur will break this already unusual tranquility and bring about a catastrophe that will never change...... A ghostly shadow flashed into the trenches......

"Contact!" The silence of the position was broken by the shouts of a German soldier. Not bad, disaster...... It's coming...... The sound of a bayonet stabbing into the body......

"The enemy is coming!" "Banzai!" "Banzai!" Sirens echoed over the positions, the cries of the American infantry mingled, and the terrifying hooray sounded......

The U.S. military is coming! Fire! In the thick fog, the American infantry was still charging in a group, and it was almost at zero distance from the defenders that they exposed themselves in front of the defenders. Thousands of American troops suddenly rushed out of the smoke, the distance from the defenders had reached zero, and countless devilish shadows rushed into the trenches. The slaughter is about to take place...... Long live was heard everywhere in the front-line positions of the British army...... Caught off guard, the British and Germans used melee weapons to engage in melee combat with American soldiers who had broken through the trenches, but they did not know that they were the prey of the massacre...... The battle is one-sided......

"This ...... This...... The distance was too close...... "although the British and Germans in the second-line positions wanted to provide fire cover for the defenders on the first-line positions." But the two armies fought in close combat. The distance was so close that almost a single bullet could kill an American soldier plus a sergeant major, it was a choice, a dilemma, if the enemy troops were not killed, the second-line positions were in danger of being captured, but the lives of friendly troops ...... The front-line positions are also in chaos...... Steinman stabbed an American soldier down with a bayonet and kicked the body away. Survivors retreat to the second line of positions! After saying that, he picked up a British soldier who was lying on the ground and pretended to be dead, and ran wildly towards the second-line position.

"Fire cover from the second-line position! The survivors on the frontline are withdrawn! Covered in blood, he just ran back to the position, Romeo just wanted to pick up a gun to support the front-line position, just picked up a gun. Shocked by the tragic situation on the front line, he knew that it was basically impossible to provide fire support, unless he shot the surviving soldiers as if they were American soldiers......

The front-line positions became slaughterhouses......

"Run! Run" Bentonson shot some of the rising American infantry with his rifle to cover the retreat of some of the British soldiers who had escaped the entanglement to the second line position, Stanman! None of our brothers died! Bentonson was Steinman's aide-de-camp and also cared for his brother soldier.

"No, not one, fire cover!" Although Steinman was somewhat indignant at the loss of the first-line position, fortunately, none of the German troops died in the catastrophe of the first-line position, and they all withdrew to the second-line position when they were attacked by surprise, but most of the British soldiers in the first-line position died tragically.

Steinman's fingers gradually lowered the trigger, and he saw that a group of surviving British soldiers were desperately running towards the second-line position, and not far behind, a large group of American soldiers followed them closely, intending to use the British soldiers as cover......

"Captain, what are we going to do?" Seeing this, the Germans all ceased fire and asked Steinman for orders, but Steinman was silent as he watched the scene in front of him.....

"Fire! For the Motherland! ”

"Captain fire! It's nothing that we're dead! ”

Romeo couldn't help but let go of the rifle in his hand, and he didn't know how to deal with the scene in front of him...... He knew that his brother's life was in a split-second decision, but the American infantry behind him could break through the second-line position at any time......

He didn't know what to do, for the first time he felt that he was so incompetent, even if it was to let the British soldiers lie on the ground and expose the enemy in the rear, such methods seemed so naïve and useless here, did he, give up the lives of his brothers? His mind went blank......

"Fire!" "Fire!" Steinman's two sudden roars woke up the helpless British soldiers and the Germans, and the Germans were all stunned at once, and they questioned Steinman's order for the first time: "Captain, that's a friendly army!" ”

The Germans only saw Steinman's side face at this time, and if they had seen Steinman's face at this moment, they would probably never forget it, this expression, Steinman's face, had been distorted, distorted by hatred......

The rifle in Steinman's hand slowly raised: "I said fire!" Steinman roared again and pulled the trigger.

"Fire!" Bentonson gave Steinman the last time he gave the order, and his voice was so sad and angry at the moment, he knew that when Steinman made this decision, the surviving British soldiers in front of the position had no hope of survival, even if they were less than 10 meters from the position...... But not far behind them was the Grim Reaper, a large group of American infantry...... In order to win, Steinman chose inhuman unscrupulous means at this time.

The Germans opened fire, and the 6 machine guns that had been silent for a long time also joined the battle sequence, and the dense rain of bullets concentrated the bodies of the surviving British soldiers, and the instinctive desire to survive made them desperately run in the direction of the friendly troops, seeing that they were one step away from the light, but they were greeted by the merciless bullets of the friendly troops......

They fell with disbelief in their eyes, at a distance where they could see their allies in full view! (To be continued......)
