The fierce artillery fire was still ringing in his ears, Luke was a little tired and rested by the window, Victor was lying on the floor, Logan was smoking a cigarette sullenly, and Louis led the team downstairs to prepare.

Tanks and heavy artillery frantically bombarded the walls of Cherbourg, the Germans occupied the commanding heights, suppressed them with bazookas and heavy machine guns, and under the air raids of the American and British forces, mortars were also fired.

On June 22, 1944, the Allies saw Cherbourg in its entirety for the first time.

Tall turrets in the distance, silt swamps beneath your feet.

The network of rivers on the Cotentin Peninsula was so dense that the Germans dug up the rivers and turned the entire perimeter of Cherbourg into a swamp. As a result, the advance of the US tank units was very slow, and the German infantry hiding in the field took the opportunity to use the "Iron Fist" anti-tank rockets to kill and injure a large number of US tanks.

The Panzer Corps suffered a large attrition, and at the same time, the heavy firepower of the German army was slowly reduced under the care of the Air Force, and the day of Armageddon was approaching.

The squad that followed Logan had replenished its strength three times, and the entire squad, except for Captain Louis, was killed.

Even Luke and Logan didn't have time to come to the rescue, in such a crazy battlefield, heavy artillery slashed overhead, and the crazy German army blew itself up and sneaked up all the time.

The three of them took advantage of this brief moment to rest.

Luke looked out at the scene.

The Germans used 88mm anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns to make it impossible for the Allied tanks to advance, the sound of MG42 was already engraved in Luke's mind, the two sides were frantically grinding, the Allied reserves were sufficient, and the Germans were ambitious, and they had no way to retreat.

"Luke, do you think we can win?"

Logan asked in a low voice, he was looking at the battlefield with a telescope, and when he saw the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, his face was twitching wildly, not knowing if his ability could resist it.

"Of course I can win, because I'm here."

Luke's answer was still full of confidence, if it weren't for not wanting to be too dazzling, Luke would have penetrated the interior of Cherbourg.

At this time on the battlefield, if there is a little accident, the forces of both sides will focus on taking care of you, and Luke does not feel that his magic shield can withstand the continuous attack of tank heavy artillery and anti-aircraft gun heavy machine guns.

Logan smiled, put the cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Look, the U.S. military is attacking again!" ”

Luke looked out, and a bunch of tanks appeared behind the position in the distance, with a large number of elite troops.

For example, the Pyro in special armor, which is the specialty of the Seventh Army, has played its greatest role in the Pacific theater.

"Oooo

There was a sound of footsteps, and Louis, who had bandages wrapped around his arms, ran up, glanced at the three of them, and said, "The order from above, prepare to launch a general attack tonight, the armored troops will blast through the wall, and then we will follow." ”

Logan's eyes widened, "Against the German anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns?!" ”

Louis glanced at him, "I will give everything for my country, remember to come." ”

With that, he turned around and walked down.

Louis's team had all been wiped out, and Joseph from before, as well as the communications soldiers, were all dead, and he was so distressed that he even wanted to leave with them.

This bearded middle-aged man is on the verge of collapse, and he needs to end the fight as soon as possible and then win.

Logan was silent for a while, still thinking that the U.S. military was a little crazy, looked at Luke, and asked, "Are we going to act tonight?" ”

Faced with anti-aircraft guns, heavy machine guns, and even the remnants of tanks in the Germans, Rogan was not sure for a while.

Luke nodded slightly, "Yes, not only to participate, but also to take the lead!" ”

"Cherbourg is surrounded by water systems and swamps, and the Germans have built a lot of pillboxes here, but the foundations are unstable, so we will attack them tonight."

Instability?

Logan looked outside again, the tank's heavy artillery was just a big hole in the pillbox, how could this be unstable?

Do you want to use magic?

Logan's heart is a little more stable, it's better than braving the rain of bullets, he's a reckless man, but he's not stupid.

The two of them looked at the window for a while, and the scene on both sides was very anxious, and the only thing that could be praised was that some tanks were deliberately destroying the foundations of the fortress and the city walls, and it seemed that they were preparing for action.

This continued until the evening, a whole day of fierce fighting, a tacit ceasefire between both sides, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt gasoline and the smell of burning human bodies.

The smell of gunpowder fire has become accustomed to it, and the American army lost a large number of tanks outside the city walls, all of which were broken tracks, which were the masterpieces of the German army.

Rao is like this, and the tanks and armored units in the rear of the US army are still being transported in a steady stream.

There is no way, the armaments of the old American Association are very well retained, and as the first large corps battle, they want to win the war more than anyone else.

In the middle of the night, the officers sent from above organized Louis and Luke, the idle soldiers, into a group and assembled them in the trenches.

Luke glanced at the badge of honor on his chest and the new warrant officer logo, and was also a little surprised, just the battles along the way in Cherbourg allowed Luke and Logan to gain a lot of military merits and honors.

Record honors and ranks before the battle, so that you can die more decently.

Louis and Logan have already obtained the rank of brigadier colonel, and when they go back, they will be a major when they pass the review.

Louis was still the captain, he stood in front of everyone and said, "Soldiers, tonight, we will be part of the death squad. ”

"Ahead is Cherbourg, the last position of the Germans, we must take him, there may be sacrifices in between, there will be death!"

"But our comrades-in-arms will remember your exploits, our families will be honored for it, and the whole world will be proud of us! We are on the side of victory and justice! ”

"Take Cherbourg! Win the day! ”

"Take Cherbourg! Win the day! ”

"Take Cherbourg! Win the day! ”

The crowd shouted a few more times before Louis nodded to the three Logans, clenched the Thompson submachine gun in his hand, and quietly waited for the order.

Suddenly, a row of shining flares rose into the air, and with a piercing whistling sound, everyone began to charge.

In the next second, the planes in the sky were dispatched again, and the warships not far from the port also launched their own fury.

The battle for Cherbourg began.

"Keep up!"

Louis shouted, and he ran to the front, braving the rain of German bullets through the muddy swamp.

The goal of Luke and the others is to pass through the swampy positions of the German army, and then take the pillbox and open the waterway below, in order to prevent the Germans from blowing up the waterway, it is also necessary to combine sappers and tanks to blow a hole in the city wall.

After this action, even Rogan felt frightened.

Everyone lay in the muddy water and struggled to move forward, Luke, as the best marksman in the team, Louis also specially replaced Luke with a new gun from the British army.

No. Sniper Rifle, it is the No. 4 model of the Lee-Enfield rifle.

Point 303 caliber, shot in the hand to kill, this is also the reason why Luke can quickly accumulate military merits.

Bend over, raise your hand, and pull the trigger.

The machine gunners on the German positions fell in response, and the big man next to him cursed, and then quickly picked up the machine gun.

And pointed the machine gun at Luke's position.

But the speed was a little too slow for Luke, and when he pulled the trigger again, the man also fell limply.

The German positional commander found out about this and hurried to have someone take over, but it was too late, Logan and Victor had already stormed the enemy's position.

Fighting with the Germans, and the Germans in the bunker also temporarily ceased fire, for fear of hitting their teammates.

Louis led the rest of the team to the bunker, and at night, several sappers skillfully placed the bomb at the dug hole, and before they could evacuate and detonate, they threw a few grenades from the small mouth of the bunker.

"Boom!"

The waves of air and shrapnel tossed over the crowd, Luke frowned, raised his gun and fired, and the Germans at the mouth of the pillbox fell from the window.

Luke quickly approached Louis and them, and by the time he felt it, Louis and the others had already died, leaving only three recruits to replenish the eggs.

Luke went up and kicked them, leading them away from the German pillbox window.

said that they were recruits, and these three people had also fought, but it was the first time they had seen such a tragic situation.

The machine-gun sound on the bunker rang out again, as Logan and Victor were almost done with the Germans in their positions.

The Germans in the bunker finally realized that something was wrong and started shooting again, and Luke with three recruits began to look for an angle to shoot.

Take some pressure off the two of Logan.

The German positions were divided by air raids and American assaults, and not only could not help each other, but also could not support logistics.

The positions became independent entities, relying only on machine guns and 88 anti-aircraft guns in pillboxes.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Viktor took off the moment he was bombed and smashed into the mud of the swamp, it was still dark, and the Germans could not aim accurately, and Viktor was only hit by the edge of artillery fire.

"No!"

Logan roared angrily and immediately wanted to go over to check, but was interrupted by Luke.

"You three! Go get Victor here! ”

Luke ordered, then crouched down, clasped his hands, and nodded at Logan.

"Ahh

Logan roared angrily and stepped on Luke's hands, Luke lifted up forcefully, and Logan stretched out his bony claws, and in an instant he plunged into the crack in the solid wall.

The bone claw carried all the weight of Logan, and the painful Logan kept shouting, but he still didn't stop moving forward.

"What are you doing in a daze!"

Luke shouted, and the three soldiers hurriedly rushed to the position, the sky was dark, and Logan was above them, they all used Logan's bone claws as daggers to carry with them, and they climbed up little by little.

Drilled into the hole in the bunker, pulled the Germans inside, and threw them down.

In the blink of an eye, the three GIs carried Victor back with one breath left.

"Take him, everybody climb up, I'll cover you below."

Luke said, holding his gun, and a thick hemp rope hung from the hole in the bunker, which was Logan's masterpiece.

The three of them did not hesitate, tied Victor to their bodies, and then climbed up little by little, Luke hid in the shadows and observed the surroundings, and there was a high probability that there were German snipers nearby.
