Take a break

It is hard to imagine how smoothly the landing operation was, except for the first batch of hoplites who landed with a catapult device, that is, those who flew the simplified "Barbarian" mecha and used magic rifles to shoot, the rifles mounted on the backs of the others were not even taken down.

The destruction of large-caliber long-range artillery made the forced landing of the hoplites unscrupulous. Once landed, long-range combat turned into close combat, and the soldiers of Great Britain found that the * rifle in their hands could not hurt the opponent at all, except for a slight ripple when the bullet hit the opponent's transparent shield, not even scratches were left.

If it weren't for the bullets on the buildings that were thrown by the flying knives, because of the large number of pits and cracks caused by the action of kinetic energy, they would even feel that the gun in their hands was just a toy.

By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the coastline of the landing zone was under control. After dragging on for so long, it is not that the battle was fierce, but after hearing that the empire has a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, too many people chose to surrender. On the one hand, it is the shock of the empire's powerful combat power from the depths of the heart, and on the other hand, most of these people are farmers in nearby villages, that is, they farm at home in peacetime and accept the role of cannon fodder in wartime.

It was indeed time-consuming to consolidate the area so that the subsequent armies could quickly log in, while also receiving a large number of captives who had surrendered. At 4:30 a.m., Viscount Valavi, a soldier dressed in an ordinary musket, was pulled out of the captives.

Originally, it was loaded in the captive pile, and if no one reported it, it would not be discovered. At the head of the pack were a few old men with white hair and a sense of vicissitudes, who looked like they had been forcibly drafted, and with them were a few low-ranking officers (100 chiefs) of Britannia who had stayed behind to prepare for surrender. There were several Imperial soldiers standing every few meters on either side, and a "barbarian" standing on a high ground with its intimidating effect might have shot the crowd in the head with a magic rifle to show off himself. Coincidentally, the shot hit the building next to it, and the stones fell from the top of the building and hit Varawi's back. Varawi didn't die, but he had to lie in bed for months.

It is said that the reason why this guy chose to come out as musketeers is because most of the ordinary soldiers will let them return to their hometowns one after another after registering their identities. The second is that the military uniforms of the musketeers are made of cotton and acrylic, which is comfortable to wear, unlike ordinary soldiers, most of them are a combination of leather and iron pieces of armor, plus long swords and round shields or spears, which is not something that a viscount who is used to enjoying can bear.

Later that afternoon, the regular soldiers of Britannia evacuated Norman, and Company E lost six men in the first battle (two were killed on the spot, three temporarily lost their cars, and one was sunk by himself due to a mistake during the landing). While the other two companies of the Riptide Battalion continued to advance towards the villages of Yasino and Kuro on the outskirts of Caen. On the one hand, the peasants are repatriated, and on the other hand, there is a clear of possible enemy resistance in these areas (such as the minor lords).

Kakawi took it upon himself to set up the command post of the battalion headquarters in Assino, because it was a relatively better place and there was a hot spring nearby. After settling Company D nearby for the night, and having lost sight of the heavily armored sentries at important places, they went to Kuro and Caesar to verify the situation of Company F.

Therefore, except for a few orderlies in the battalion headquarters, I am the only girl. For some reason, Lieutenant Belluken may not return until a few days later. In the absence of a chief of staff, the adjutant went to another camp. A lot of things have to be taken care of by me, the chief officer.

While complaining about things like "I really didn't have the life of an official", he patrolled the whole village alone. Outside the village, I suddenly heard the sound of people walking on the cobblestone road, the sound of horses' hooves with iron palms, and the clatter of armor against each other, all telling me that it was an army of Britannians.

Having just flashed into the shadow of the ditch on the side of the road, some hundred and fifty Britannias walked past me. At that distance, I could even smell the stench of sweat from their rapid march.

An enemy army of that size suddenly appeared, and I thought they were trying to sneak up on the night. You must know that once the armor is removed, the Magister of the Empire is no different from an ordinary soldier, and his melee combat ability is even inferior to that of ordinary warriors.

I quickly dismissed this idea, and although these people were still trying to hide their secrets, they were too nervous and caused them to inadvertently create a lot of "noise". The sound of wheezing and neighing of horses mingled, and the accompanying carriage was stuffed with boxes large and small.

It looks more like a fugitive.

The next day, just after dawn, Lieutenant Liszt came to me.

"Major, there were two noble merchants in the town last night who absconded overnight. ”

The battalion has achieved its D-Day goals. The 4th Infantry Division already gained a foothold on the beach. The embankment road has been controlled. The next mission was to head south to Carantham, on the other side of the Duvo River, to join up with the U.S. forces advancing west after landing on Omaha Beach. The route of action is from Coullowville, passing through Villeville to Saint-Gum-de-Monte and then crossing the river into Carentão.

The 2 Battalion, having finished out the defenders of Villeville, began a movement towards Angerville Oplein. Company E served as a reserve. The rest of the day was spent against the Germans, repelling the repeated counterattacks of Colonel von der Haight's 6th Parachute Regiment. The next day, the 506th Battalion of the 1st Regiment captured Saint-Gum-de-Monte, about 3 km north of Carentham. This is the last piece of high ground overlooking the valley of the Duvo River and the Carentão. Colonel Zinke set up his headquarters at Ingville Oplein, with Company E as the alert force for the regimental headquarters. This is also the mission of E Company for the next 3 days.

E-Company used this time to fully rest and regain his strength. The men of E Company also returned from all parts of the Carentan Peninsula. There was still very little time to sleep, as there were snipers firing cold shots, and occasionally enemy counter-offensives, artillery and mortar shelling. Burying dead people and dead animals is a big problem, as the corpses have begun to decay and stink.

Big whoa, big ah, Lieutenant Welsh found a barrel of fine cognac. "I thought he wanted to be alone," Winters recalled. Sometimes I talk to Harry and find that he doesn't listen to what I'm saying, and it's not because of his hearing. After a few days, we fixed the problem. "Things didn't really work out. There was just too much wine around. The pressure on young servicemen is too great. There can be no simple solution to this problem.
