Probably because this year's Chinese New Year's Eve was spent waiting for the attack on Caen!

Two or three days before the attack on Caen, many veterans of Company E made a special trip to the battalion headquarters to find me, and said by name, "I hope to replace Captain Jade on the eve of the battle, because his indecision will cost many of his brothers in Company E." ”

Actually, this is what worries me the most. Perhaps for the past few months, Company E has been under my direct command, which has led to the weakness of the junior officers and leadership in the company. Jade Troy Akafman, on the other hand, was assigned directly by the military department and was generally a well-educated military figure, so I would like him to be integrated into E Company and play a good leading role.

However, it backfired.

I couldn't tell my subordinates about my predicament, so I could only tell them, "In case of emergency, you can obey your platoon commander." ”

Warrant Officer Aysaac Makudu, the platoon commander of the second platoon of Company E, also expressed concern about his company commander when I took time out of the city to find no outsiders on my way to the station of Company E. He depicts in great detail the absurdities of Jed's one-month tenure.

We talked as we walked.

I listened carefully to him and asked him, "Do you have any ideas of your own?"

"When I heard that you returned to the battalion headquarters, everyone's hearts were conflicted, and there was reluctance and relief. After all, no one wants their battalion commander to be injured again. Izak admitted that this was the voice of all members of Company E, but the arrival of the substitutes made them simply unacceptable and integrated together.

Because Company E was closest to Caen's Britannian perimeter position, there was constant friction between them.

Every time Caen shelled, Jed couldn't be found.

Yes, it means missing. The platoon commanders with his basic salary could only organize the defense at the same time, and at the same time, he had to send people to find their company commanders. However, the most uncomfortable thing is that Jade is very good at being a person, and he has perfectly brought out his family's theory of being an official.

Yes, Jade never makes bad decisions because he never makes decisions. Every time he made a decision, he would discuss it with his officers, let them take turns to express their opinions, and then tell them lightly, "I will report your opinions to the battalion headquarters, and I think the battalion headquarters will soon make the right decision." ”

Then, he ignored others, announced his disbandment, and left on his own.

On the day of the attack on Caen, the Riptide Battalion was given the task of taking on the main attack. Company E moved from the hidden col to the woods to the east, preparing to attack from the east after a successful feint to the west and south.

That is, through the open area covered with heavy snow at about 400 meters, and directly into the position on the outskirts of Caen, through which a springboard for a raid on the city of Caen was established. But on open ground of 400 meters, they are likely to withstand more than ten minutes of shelling. And here it is not excluded that those "steam tanks" hidden in the forward positions, their mobility and hybrid * are the greatest threat to the "barbarians".

So, the troops must pass quickly. It's as simple as that, and there's nothing too esoteric. There is no need for large-scale maneuvers, just rush over, approach the enemy and use your advantage to solve them one by one in those hidden spots.

The only premise is that the word "fast" breaks through the opponent's defensive line under the cover of rear fire, and once it cuts into the opponent's inner position, those huge cannons on the city of Caen are no longer a threat.

If it's slow, it's miserable.

The order above was that after nine o'clock in the morning, after the feint tactics on the other side were successful, we were in action. Although I don't think it's good, and I suggest that a raid be launched in the early hours of the morning to reduce exposure. But it was not adopted.

Perhaps, the previous invincibility has blinded those high-level leaders. They seem to think that their heavy armor is invincible.

In fact, the offensive layer to the west seized part of the city of Caen at one point. However, because they faithfully carried out the feint plan, they all returned to the hands of the Britannians.

That's what I found out after I was born.

When Company E launched the raid, I watched from the sidelines. Since I couldn't go directly to the battlefield, I had to apply to bring the red "Barbarian" from before to Katang. The first is to reassure Beirut, as a staff officer, that I have no intention of going to war. Second, as the commander of the mecha unit, there is no decent combat mecha, what is the matter?

Company E was lined up, with the "barbarians" opening their shields in front and the infantry in the rear running quickly in a skirmish line to follow.

It went well at first.

They are clearing possible threat sites one by one.

On the left flank was the first row, who, under the cover of the "barbarians", approached several barns and cattle pens. Once the Barbarians have stabilized their formation, the infantry will quickly pass through the barn and check for threats inside.

A few Britannian soldiers with rifles were spotted in the cowshed.

The platoon commander, Thors, led the men around, kicked the door and rushed in.

"Hands up!"

Several pairs of eyes looked at each other, and the Britannian suddenly raised his gun and fired.

"Bastard!"

As Toris dodged, he pounced, his saber plunging into one of them in the chest. The man made a "cough-cough-cough" sound in his throat, and his eyes were open until he died. Seems to be unable to believe that he is dead.

The others followed the platoon commander's steps and quickly suppressed the remaining few people. One of them picked up the rifle that had fallen on the ground and threw it to his comrades behind him.

The few Britannians who survived, some of whom were not even under the age of 18, did not know whether they were scared or frozen, and there was not a trace of blood on their young, childish faces. At this moment, these people trembled and knelt on the ground, their hands raised high, and begged loudly, "spare ......" and the like.

The other soldiers, nervous, clenched their rifles in their hands. Shouted a reprimand, "Shut up! Then because he couldn't control his nervousness, he would smash the other party with *.

Then, a mouth full of blood from one of the hapless creatures continues to plead as they pull out their broken teeth.

Thors began to ask them where their troops were deployed.
