Chapter 30: A Rare Rest
"Don, are you married?" Henry looked at the man who was called a war dad and asked curiously.
"No, Lieutenant Colonel, just as I was getting married, I came to the North African battlefield, and after a serious injury on the mission, the troops sent back a death notice"
"So you're single?"
"Yes, single, damn German" Don kicked angrily, anyone who heard the news that his fiancée was married to someone else would be very upset.
"Hey, Don, I'm not German, you kicked me, I'm not going to stay inside, get me out of here" Grady protested in the tank, pushing Don away and crawling out of the tank.
"God will bless you, Don" Bode began to preach beside again.
"Thanks, I don't think I need to, if I can go back to the United States, I'll stay on the farm, have a dog, and drink delicious rum in the sunset"
"Don't bring a German woman back, clean up the house for you, I hear you speak German," suggested Henry.
"No, German is just my tool of war."
"It can also be a tool of crime, Don, you will live happily in the future, they are also victims, and there are also those who oppose the war, look at these corpses on the side of the road."
Trini asked the people on the tank to look at the roadside, the corpses hanging from the trees, the signs of reactionaries and so on.
The topic of "......" is over, and people on the battlefield, not critics, are in the times, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong.
"Da Da Da, boom~"
Bursts of gunfire were heard in the distance, and B Company arrived.
"Don, you go" Henry didn't bother to get out of the car.
"Lieutenant Colonel, are you exercising Don? You're leaving" Bodø's mind was more delicate, and he soon discovered that Henry was different from what he had used to be.
"Yes, it's coming" Henry didn't hide it either.
Originally, this task was deliberately arranged by Bradley Sr. to the rear, so it didn't matter if Henry was still there.
Tang came out of the headquarters converted from the abandoned warehouse, called several commanders together, and issued a combat mission.
"Lieutenant Colonel?" Don looked at Henry and asked him if he had any final opinions.
"No problem, it's well arranged, let's go"
"Let's go!" When all the infantry climbed onto the tank, the tank set off again.
Arriving at the beet field in front of the German defensive position, the infantry disembarked from the tanks.
A small beet field can only allow five tanks to be scattered to attack, so the infantry will advance behind the five tanks as a fortress to hide, and the other four tanks will rush into the battlefield on the other side after the engagement, which can both distract the German fire and act as a deterrent.
"Slow down, there are still our soldiers on the ground"
"Pull them up"
"Dispersion, dispersion~"
The whole process was commanded by Don, and there were no infantry on the other tanks to operate this large-caliber machine gun, and when all the soldiers were pulled behind the tank, Henry set up the machine gun and fired in the direction perceived by the killing intent.
Five tracer bullets, illuminating the German positions and lighting up other targets, this is Henry's killing time.
One by one, the German soldiers were torn in half by large-caliber machine gun bullets.
"The lieutenant colonel is too fierce, it's like Captain America"
"Be serious, Baldur"
"Whew~When~"
An anti-tank shell grazed the armor of the tank next to it and ricocheted off.
"Azimuth 1 o'clock, 750 meters, counterattack!"
Henry also had no way, the howitzer had a bulletproof steel plate to protect the artillery behind him, and he didn't have time to aim, and the machine guns on the opposite side were all aimed at Henry's firepower point just now.
Once all the exposed anti-tank gun positions had been removed, Henry aimed his machine gun at the last anti-tank gun that was the deepest hidden, aiming at him, and firing at the other tanks to point out the position.
"Da Da Da, Dang Dang"
The strafing of machine guns and the crash of bullets were intertwined on the battlefield.
"Azimuth 10 o'clock, 490 meters, counterattack!"
Don also followed the tracer rounds from the machine gun and found the location of the howitzer for the other tanks to fight back together.
By the time the other four tanks were in the battle, the infantry had rushed into the forest and started cleaning up the battlefield.
"Lieutenant Colonel, capture a prisoner"
"Bring it here"
"Yes, sir," an honest German was brought from the woods.
"Sir, don't kill me, I still have my family and my daughter, she's still a child," the scruffy German pulled out a picture from his bosom and showed it to Henry.
Henry took the photo in his hand, it was crumpled and crumpled, but the little girl in the photo was indeed cute.
"What do you know, tell me all you know"
"Your life is determined by your intelligence," Henry said lightly, looking up at him.
The lucky one who was filtered out by Henry's murderous perception and was not swept by the machine gun was also a man in the road, and Henry didn't mind taking his life.
"There are German soldiers in the town ahead, and machine gun muzzles in underground bunkers"
"Well, what else?"
"On the other road in and out of town, two Tiger tanks were guarding, and a battalion of troops was rushing here to defend it," the German prisoner recounted everything he knew.
"Take it down and take care of it, the information is accurate, just release it in the town, pass the news to your captain, do a good job of defense tonight, and wipe out all the Germans in this battalion"
"Don, you take 5 tanks and go to the intersection over there to search and get rid of those two Tiger tanks"
"Don't see German prisoners in the future and just want to kill, as a commander, you must consider intelligence first, in order to better save the lives of your subordinates" Henry This can be regarded as teaching by word and deed, the command does not need to be taught, it will be seen in three years, and things other than command are the focus.
After all, it was a subordinate who followed himself to get a blessing in disguise, and he was transferred to the safest place at the last moment, and the teacher would not die again, so there was no way, there was no blessing.
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel"
"Let's go into town, settle the battle and recuperate, there is still a battle waiting for you"
"Yes, sir"
