The helicopter was still showing off its might there.

But at this time, the most unexpected situation suddenly happened. In the distance, two black dots suddenly appeared, and then quickly approached the area.

When those two black dots flew over the battlefield, everyone saw clearly:

It was also two helicopter gunships, but the fuselage was marked by the German Air Force!

A loud cheer rang out from the mouths of the German commandos on the ground.

Their support came when they needed it most!

The appearance of two German helicopter gunships quickly broke the situation on the battlefield.

The US military helicopter, seeing that the strength was falling to the downside, immediately turned around and ran, but it was too late.

For the Luftwaffe, they will definitely not let go of such an opportunity!

The four missiles flew out of the air with a sharp cracking sound, and actually hit the US armed helicopter at the same time. Suddenly, a huge fireball burned in the air, and the US military helicopter gunship disintegrated directly in the air.

This - it was Germany that sounded the horn of the attack!

On August 19, 1966, the German Guderian assault group appeared at the American military base in Nodicka!

This is the second time that Marshal Guderian has appeared on the battlefield after the Second World War, and this German god of armor will once again show his hideous minions on the battlefield!

On the same day, the French government announced its secession from the Allies and joined the Axis powers, and on the same day signed the Paris Agreement with German negotiators.

The signing of the Paris Agreement was catastrophic for the Allies, which also meant that it followed Russia, Ukraine, Italy. Another major Allied force in Europe broke away from the ranks of the Allies.

After the signing of the Paris Agreement, President Robito ordered all French forces on the continent to quickly join the ranks of the Axis powers, led by Germany, and launch an attack on the Allies in the vicinity.

Day and night. Robin, the U.S. ambassador to Paris, ordered all of Colonel Wenger's Marines to leave Paris after urgent negotiations with the French government. They were lucky enough not to die in a foreign land.

On the 20th, French troops consisting of six divisions arrived in Nodicka to assist the German army in launching an attack on the American military base in Nodicca.

It was the largest, and perhaps the worst, battle in France. Lieutenant General Carson, the commander of the U.S. forces at the Nodicka military base, rejected the Axis demands to lay down his arms and surrender immediately, deciding to use his bravery. Defend this place with the bravery of American soldiers.

He knew too well the importance of the Nodica to the United States in Europe, and if it was lost, the American military would lose one of the most important bases in France and in the whole of Europe. And even this will allow the United States to finally lose the war on the European continent.

Westmoreland, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, also gave the order to defend the battle......

At 8 a.m. on the 20th, German Field Marshal Ernst Anderson. Bream appeared in Nodica, and when he and Guderian came face to face on the battlefield again, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The glory of Germany will begin here – and the pride of Germany will begin anew!

８:１０。 Marshal Guderian gave the order to attack. The Waffen-SS Panzer Division "Brunsburg" was the leading force of the whole army and took the lead in launching a surprise attack on Nodicka.

The 37th Brigade of the U.S. Marine Corps also launched a desperate counterattack as the first unit of the U.S. Army to engage the enemy.

The two sides bombed each other desperately with artillery, planes, and tanks, and neither of them wanted to lose the victory of this war, and each wanted to hold the fruits of victory firmly in their own hands.

The red-eyed officers and soldiers of the two sides tried their best to advance forward or defend desperately. For the German soldiers, they told themselves that they had to win the battle.

Field Marshal Guderian was watching them from behind, and more importantly - Field Marshal Ernst was also watching them from behind!

And the Americans' will to fight is equally tenacious, and with the support of artillery fire, they defend their positions at all costs. They hide behind fortresses or tanks. With all the strength at his disposal, he resisted hard.

This was later called the "Battle of Nodica" that decided the fate of the European continent.

On the first day of the Battle of Nodica, both sides engaged in a lot of artillery fire and clashed soldiers. On this day, the Germans made a hard advance of ten kilometers, and every inch of this ten kilometers of road condensed a great deal of hardship.

The soldiers of the 37th Brigade of the U.S. Marine Corps can also proudly tell everyone that they are completely worthy of the military uniform on them.

In the absence of effective support, although they lost more than half of their positions, they did their job exceptionally well, making it impossible for the Germans to effectively establish a forward base.

Moreover, they were fighting with the strength of a brigade against an entire panzer division of the mighty German Waffen-SS.

It seemed that the German offensive on this day was frustrating, but at this time Guderian smiled......

"Heinz, I'm glad that you never lost your determination on the battlefield." Wang Weiyi also smiled in the same way: "Now, are you ready to completely and completely kill the 37th Brigade?" ”

"Yes, complete and complete annihilation!" Guderian always had that confident smile on his face: "If the Germans could not achieve such a victory with an entire panzer division against a brigade, it would be the greatest shame for Germany." Ernst, I think you've noticed that today's all-day offensive is not trying to achieve much success, but to fully open up the battlefield and further open up. Ten kilometers, a sufficiently powerful armored force to launch a general assault at dawn tomorrow! ”

Guderian never cared about a temporary victory, he only wanted the final result...... And the tenacious German troops, who fought all day today, have done it for him......

"I like the feeling of being in the dark...... Wang Weiyi suddenly said lightly, "Every darkness is always full of expectations, because we all know the truth." Soon it will be dawn. ”

"Yes, it's going to be dawn soon." Guderian glanced at his good friend: "Ernst, you won't leave this time, will you?" ”

Wang Weiyi nodded: "I won't leave again this time." I was like a prodigal son far from home. I was always looking for my home, but in fact, I suddenly realized that it was home in my place. ”

Where people are, where is the location of home......

．．．．．．

On August 21, 1966, Heinz. William. Marshal Guderian ordered the "Flame Assault" to begin in earnest! The Waffen-SS "Brunsburg Panzer Division" reappeared on the battlefield.

The German Air Force fighters were whistling in the sky, and in the face of the American fighters taking off from the Nodicka base, these heroic German pilots were doing everything they could to support the German soldiers on the ground......

Missiles whistling wildly there. There was a loud and terrible roar of the shells...... The rumbling armored units were ready to attack......

Clusters of flames burned in the air, and planes emitting black smoke fell from the sky...... When the war began, this was the fate of all soldiers......

At 8:10, it was exactly the same time as yesterday's attack. The Waffen-SS Brunsburg Panzer Division was finally re-engaged in the fighting.

Same time, but a completely different way of attacking...... Brigadier General Kakka and his 37th Brigade were surprised to discover that the German army was completely different yesterday......

The Germans already had plenty of open battlefields, and their tanks let out terrible roars, arrogantly and unstoppably launched the most ferocious charge forward.

Brigadier General Kakka recorded this battle in great detail in his post-war memoirs:

“．．．．．． In less than half an hour. The bad news has been reaching my headquarters. The German offensive simply suffocated all of us...... A battalion commanded by Major Wilson had been dealt a devastating blow in half an hour, and only yesterday he had withstood more than three enemy attacks in a row...... It was only now that I realized that the Germans didn't really care about how much they had achieved yesterday, all they wanted was a fully open offensive position...... I know that the commander standing across from me is Heinz. William. Marshal Guderian, who has always been a commander whom I have great respect, has so many stories about him during the Second World War. But let's be honest. At this time yesterday I was a little complacent, thinking that I had managed to draw with Marshal Guderian...... Now that I think about it. I realized how stupid my idea was......

Marshal Guderian never cared about temporary victory or defeat, he wanted the final victory of the whole war, and I foolishly fell into the trap he had set...... But after the war I had a very selfish thought, and I was not at all saddened by this defeat, because standing opposite me were two of Germany's most illustrious gods of war: Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Field Marshal Bream and Heinz. William. Marshal Guderian. I believe that there are not many officers in this world who have the privilege of being the opponent of two German gods of war at the same time...... I can proudly tell my children that I have experienced such an honor......

It's just that the situation on that day was really bad, our positions were constantly lost under the surprise attack of the German armored forces, and the large number of casualties made me use up all the reserves in my hands, and Lieutenant General Carson seemed to be powerless against all this, and the six divisions of the French attacked at the same time with the Germans, and Lieutenant General Carson also had not many troops to use...... It is astonishing how quickly the situation in France has changed, and as far as I know, every city in France has been attacked by the French as long as there are American troops stationed. I am sure that we are losing this country, and it will be a loss forever. Since then we have never been able to come to this romantic country again......

By 10 a.m., my troops had been forced to retreat to a very small position. On all sides were armored vehicles of the Germans, and according to aerial reconnaissance, a large number of German commandos appeared behind us. This means that our escape route has been completely cut off by the Germans...... And that's not even the worst news, the worst news is that we're losing air supremacy...... I know very well what this means, it means that we are already unable to retreat from the air......

Everyone became desperate, but they could not be blamed, because each of them had done their duty as an American soldier in this battle...... At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the German offensive suddenly stopped, and I was surprised to find myself receiving a call from Field Marshal Ernst......"

It was a day that Brigadier Kakka will never forget. In his own command, he really received a call from the German Field Marshal Ernst......

Even in old age, he could clearly remember every conversation he had with Field Marshal Ernst that day: "Kakka, I'm Ernst. Brahm! ”

"Marshal Ernst, it's an honor to be here to hear you. Although we are now on opposing sides, that does not prevent me from respecting you. ”

"Thank you for your compliment, Brigadier General Kakka. After the battle broke out, you and your troops showed enough courage. Now the situation is completely out of your control. And I can tell you very clearly that Lieutenant General Carson is no longer able to give you any kind of support. As a commander, I think it's time to think about how to save the lives of the survivors. ”

"Are you telling me to surrender?"

"Yes, I'm asking you to surrender. As a soldier, you will feel that surrender will be the greatest shame, but it is a serious irresponsibility for soldiers to resist to the end even though they know that they will fail. Brigadier General Kakka, it's time for you to make a choice, to fight to the death for your honor as a general. Or save the lives of your soldiers......"

"Marshal, I would like you to give me half an hour to think about it. Although I know that such a request is ridiculous, after all, there are too many things that can happen in half an hour. ”

"I'm going to give you an hour of your time. I trust you, and maybe my trust will bring my soldiers to another battle, but I'm willing to trust you. This call will always be open, and I will be waiting for you to make a decision in front of the call. ”

This is a trust from the enemy. Brigadier General Kakka swore that he had never been so unconditionally trusted.

He answered the phone with Lieutenant General Carson, first reported to him about the dire situation of the 37th Brigade, and then informed the enemy Marshal Ernst of the request.

Lieutenant General Carson was silent for a long time on the other end of the line before he said, "I believe in you too, Brigadier General." You are a brave commander, and you would not have reported this to me if it were not for the last moment, Brigadier General, and I will grant your request to surrender, and all the responsibility will be borne by me. I'll report back to Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland. ”

"What about you, Lieutenant General? I'm sure you're not much better off than I am. ”

"Yes, I'm having a hard time here. The enemy had been preparing for this military operation for too long, and in addition to those in France, the Axis forces were attacking on all fronts at the same time, and we did not have much strength to reinforce the area. However, I can also tell you a special piece of information, just last night I was personally called by Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland, who, in very harsh terms, ordered me not to lose the Nodicka military base under any circumstances. So I'm ready to die here. ”

Brigadier General Kakka didn't know what he was supposed to say......

He knew Lieutenant General Carson too well that once he made a decision, no one could change him...... And the only thing I can do is wish him good luck......

Brigadier General Kakka hung up the phone with Lieutenant General Carson, and then picked up the phone again: "Marshal, are you still there?" Yes, it didn't take me an hour to make a decision. Marshal, I am honored that my troops were able to surrender to you, although the surrender I use the word honor seems very ridiculous. ”

"Nothing ridiculous, General Kakka, I must thank your men for saving their lives, and I will be here waiting for your arrival."

"I'm sure you won't have to wait long." Brigadier General Kakka put down the phone, and then carefully arranged his military uniform.

He was as excited as a child, because he was going to meet his childhood idol soon!

That's the venerable Baron Alexon!

It may seem absurd to use the word "honored" in surrender, but Kakka didn't care about that, he only cared about what Marshal Ernst said to him:

"Yes, I'm asking you to surrender. As a soldier, you will feel that surrender will be the greatest shame, but it is a serious irresponsibility for soldiers to resist to the end even though they know that they will fail. Brigadier General Kakka, it's time for you to make a choice, whether to fight to the death for your honor as a general, or to save the lives of your soldiers......"

Yes, I didn't do anything wrong, I just did what a commander should do.

If someone blames themselves for this, they will face everything calmly!

Knowing what to do when and when is this is an important thing that a commander should do! (To be continued......)
