The Great Escape (2)
Company A's good fortune did not last long, after all, in order to hurry, Sun Qian and they forcibly rushed over, plus the Germans knew that there was a problem with the poison gas processing plant. The Germans knew that it was done by the Allied forces with pig brains, and soon the German search team found the traces of Company A, but when they heard that it was in the direction of the cliff, they didn't know that a few German commanders were angry and angry, it was too bullying.
Although the German search team was caught off guard by the soldiers of A Company who were scattered in advance, but after all, this is the territory of the German army, and the soldiers of A Company who were soon scattered were driven back by the large forces of the German army.
"Let's all go back to bunker, remember that we have to hold this place today, and staying up until dark is victory." , Sun Qian instructed, he knew that he could only rely on himself now.
"Also, has the telegram been sent to the coalition forces, and when will their support arrive?" Sun Qian then asked the person in charge of the coalition forces in charge of communications.
"Sir, it's been sent, but I haven't received a reply yet." , replied the officer in charge of communications of the coalition forces.
"Keep urging, it's up to you whether we can get through or not." , Sun Qian said again.
"Yes, sir, I'll go." , the head of communications of the coalition forces immediately ran to the radio.
"Gentlemen, for the sake of our lives, get ready for a fierce battle!" , Sun Qian looked at the officers under him and said.
"Yes, sir." , everyone replied in unison.
In order to maintain his vital strength as much as possible, Sun Qian adopted the strategy of light personnel in the front and heavy in the rear, and heavy firepower in the front and light in the rear, allowing each platoon and the Allied prisoners who volunteered to stay behind to resist the German army through a rotation system.
Not long after Sun Qian laid out his tactics, Sun Qian found the pointed end of the German helmet in the telescope.
Looking at the dense German army, Sun Gan also lost confidence, but he still kept comforting the soldiers at the front to try their best to put the German army into the fight again, so that at least they could suffer less German artillery fire.
In fact, the Germans were also a little helpless, this incident happened too suddenly, although the whereabouts of Company A had been discovered, but their large-caliber artillery was heavy after all, and it could not be transported for the time being, although the small-caliber artillery was transported, but it lacked lethality to Company A hidden in the fortifications, but if it did not attack immediately, it was afraid that the people of Company A would run away, and in the end they had to let people go up and stick to each other with their own flesh and blood.
Listening to the brave gunfire of the German army, Sun Gan and the others did not shoot blindly, Sun Gan deployed the snipers in echelons to the entire deep defense line, and asked them to suppress the German commanders and machine gun fire, so Sun Gan gave the snipers the right to fire first.
Bang, bang, bang, not dense, but the scary gunfire with high accuracy finally sounded in the expectation of the soldiers of Company A, Sun Gan also unceremoniously turned the soldier in charge of the machine gun into a bomber, with Sun Gan's fire, the soldiers also began to fire at the slightly chaotic German army, and suddenly the gunfire was loud, and the Germans also began to return fire under the intensive fire of Company A, although there was the protection of fortifications, but there were still soldiers who were hit by the Germans from time to time, and after the Germans were beaten down, Sun Gan saw a short exchange of fire for more than ten minutes, There were more than a dozen casualties among the defenders at the front, but fortunately, there were not many casualties. Of course, the casualties of the German army were much larger, but Sun Qian asked people to clean up everything that could be cleaned up within the shooting range.
Sun Qian hurriedly asked people to evacuate the wounded, and then instructed everyone to strengthen the fortifications. While the heavy German firepower had not yet come up, the fortifications were reinforced.
In less than ten minutes, the second attack of the German army came up again, this time there were fewer people, but the German army was also much more careful, and many people began to dig bunkers as soon as they came up, it seems that this is going to be consumed with Sun Qian.
In the confrontation between the two sides, although the German casualties were larger, the casualties of Company A were not light, and soon the density of fire on the front began to decline. Sun Gan's pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and he had to pull out some of the soldiers in the rear, although the pressure on the front was relieved, Sun Gan's brows were furrowed even more.
After more than half an hour of confrontation, the heavy firepower of the German army finally came, and when the first cannon sounded, Sun Gan immediately withdrew everyone into the bunker, and then the earth shook and the sky shook. In the roar of German artillery, the entire living soldiers of Company A were stunned by the German artillery.
The German artillery bombardment lasted for half an hour, and everything that was missing out of the bunker was bombarded by the German artillery, and none of it was complete.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and get into the forward position, the German offensive is about to begin." , Sun Qian hurriedly greeted everyone.
"Brother Xing, you command first, I'll go and see if the radio has contacted the coalition forces." , Sun Qian said again uneasily.
When Sun Qian entered the rear and found the communication group, he saw the communication personnel who were rushing to repair the antenna, and his heart was directly half cold. Sun Qian, who was not very demanding of anything, had to ask the person in charge of the communication group to hurry up.
After that, the German army attacked twice in a row, although they were repulsed by A Company, but A Company itself also lost one-third of its combat strength, and the corpses abandoned by the German army on the front line proved the tragedy of this offensive and defensive battle.
When Sun Gan was about to despair, he finally waited for the good news of the communication group, and looking at the order of the coalition army, Sun Qian really couldn't cry or laugh. It turned out that although the allied forces received the signal from the communication group at the first time, there were some generals who wanted to use Company A as a bait to attract more German troops to gather in this area, and then the allied forces would cover it with artillery fire in order to achieve certain results. In this regard, the coalition forces still asked Sun Qian to provide the coalition forces with the coordinates of the German army, so as to avenge the previous German artillery attack.
Sun Gan was also helpless, after all, he still needed the support of the coalition forces now, thinking that the artillery fire of the coalition forces could indeed help reduce his pressure, so Sun Gan could only pinch his nose and admit it.
When the artillery fire of the allied forces rushed to the attacking German army, Sun Gan's heart finally relaxed. The Allied forces directly used two artillery divisions in this artillery preparation, and under such a dense firepower, the Germans were bombed in an instant, and suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, Sun Gan had already decided to retreat quickly while the Germans had not recovered their senses, but the order of the coalition army came again, and General Pershing finally did not screw the coalition headquarters, and finally agreed to the order of the coalition headquarters, leaving Sun Gan's A company on the cliff as bait.
Sun Qian was also helpless, so he could only obey the order, and then transport the wounded down the cliff first.
In the next half day, both the coalition forces and the German army were seizing the time to prepare for the war, and after Sun Qian and other allied support troops came, the German army's pre-war preparations were almost completed. When it was close to dusk, the two sides also engaged in a plane battle, if time did not allow, maybe countless planes would have fallen from the sky, or it was a brief exchange of fire, and Sun Qian also saw at least a dozen fighters on both sides crashing to the ground.
