The constant explosion of anti-aircraft shells and occasional firework explosions in the sky gave Zheng Yingqi an illusion that it was during the Chinese New Year.

But this idea was quickly dispelled from his mind. What he had to do now was to find something iconic, judge his position clearly, and then gather more comrades as much as possible to attack the target - the task of the E Company, or the task of the 506th Regiment, was to capture the No. 2 embankment passage, and the E Company was responsible for capturing the village of Boubeville. The exit of the No. 2 embankment passage was on the north side of the village of Boubeville.

According to the scheduled airborne plan, the landing ground of Company E should be in St. Marymond, about 10 kilometers south of the Church of Our Lady, but Zheng Yingqi understood that his own wave of people would definitely not appear at the scheduled landing ground - he needs to know the most now: whether he had landed in the German positions or surrounding the barracks.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yingqi couldn't help but think of the ostrich - the ostrich said that paratroopers were born surrounded, but he really hoped that he was not so "lucky". The result of being surrounded now may not be very good.

After reorganizing his equipment, Zheng Yingqi threw away things like umbrellas, and even buried food on the spot, leaving only one day's portion, and then started marching with an M1 rifle with an M1 rifle.

This is a bush, with a small path that was stepped out not far away, and you can even see ruts. However, Zheng Yingqi did not choose to walk from the road, but tried to slow down the speed and walk through the bush, while listening to all directions and paying attention to the movements around him.

After fumbled forward for about ten minutes, Zheng Yingqi heard unusual movements - the sound of footsteps of someone walking through the bushes.

Two people, slowly searching for the team...

The sound of paratrooper boots stomping on the ground - after judging this sound, Zheng Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief. It was his own person.

He took out the signal and pressed it down. The signal made an extremely low sound. This was a signal of communication between paratroopers, but the other party did not answer. Instead, he acted alert when he heard the sound. Zheng Yingqi was stunned, and then quietly left the position where the signal was sent, and quietly touched the other side.

Although the night was pretty good at this time, the moon was hanging in the sky, and it was a little visible, but what Zheng Yingqi could see was the outline of two human figures, but the weapons he was holding were vaguely recognizing were the M1 carbine and Thomson submachine guns.

It should be their own people, but the other party did not respond to the signal or even called a command, which made Zheng Yingqi a little confused - they were the first wave of parachute troops, and even if the German army captured the parachute alive, they might not have replaced the parachute weapons, right?

Just in case, Zheng Yingqi quietly took off his field backpack and threw it to the other side more than ten meters away. There was a huge noise. Two alert figures immediately looked at the sound source. Zheng Yingqi pulled out the paratrooper knife, held the knife in his left hand and the M1911 pistol in his right hand, and touched it quietly like a raccoon cat.

After touching the two people quietly, Zheng Yingqi made a move like lightning. His pistol aimed at one person's helmet, and the paratrooper knife was pressed to the other person's neck. After controlling the other party, Zheng Yingqi shouted in a low voice:

"lightning!"

Lightning is a password, and reply is thunder - but the other party's answer almost made Zheng Yingqi laugh, and the other party actually replied:

"lightning!"

Standard American English, and Zheng Yingqi had already seen the two of them clearly, so he did not make a misunderstanding. He whispered: "You should answer: Lei Ming."

With the explanation of his identity, Zheng Yingqi slowly moved the pistol and paratrooper sword away from the two of them, but he was still wary of the two of them causing trouble, so he did not completely let go of his guard.

It was like being frightened by the two captured by Zheng Yingqi - Zheng Yingqi's face suddenly appeared, just like a demon coming out of hell. In fear, a paratrooper raised his gun with consciousness, and was kicked to the ground by Zheng Yingqi as soon as he made an action.

"Grass! My own people!"

Zheng Yingqi roared lowly. After this sound, the two paratroopers finally became honest. They looked at Zheng Yingqi with surprise and fear. The person who was not kicked down asked, "Which company are you from?"

"Where are you from the E Company of the 506th Regiment?"

"506th Regiment? Are you from the 101st Division? We are from the 82nd Division."

It's actually from the 82nd Division?

Zheng Yingqi took back his weapon with a hilarious and wailing heart. This is really funny. In the airborne area of ​​the 101st Division, he encountered people from the 82nd Division? Or was he thrown into the airborne area of ​​the 82nd Division?

He asked about the location of the two, and the two idiots were confused.

Zheng Yingqi picked up the backpack that he threw over and attracted the two of them, and said while back: "You two are following me, OK?"

These two people naturally had no objection - Zheng Yingqi touched their behavior just now, and made these two people regard Zheng Yingqi as a god.

"Don't walk the road, enter the bushes, pay attention to the movements around us, we need to figure out where we are now."

Under the leadership of Zheng Yingqi, the two of them followed him and got into the bushes and headed north. At this time, a headlight shone from a distance. Zheng Yingqi immediately made a gesture and signaled to hide with his two people. After a while, a car drove over at a low speed. It seemed that it was a German reconnaissance or harvesting team, which was specially used to deal with paratroopers.

Zheng Yingqi and the paratroopers holding submachine guns changed their weapons and signaled the two not to move rashly. Then they waited for the car not far away to pass by. Just as the car passed, Zheng Yingqi suddenly jumped up and shot at the vehicle. There were four German soldiers on the car. Before they could react, they were all shot dead by Zheng Yingqi in a flash. The out-of-control car hit the tree and stopped. Zheng Yingqi whispered: "Beware of me!"

But the two paratroopers were so stupid that they didn't move. After Zheng Yingqi kicked them, they were shocked and came out in panic and became alert. Sure enough, not all companies were as elite as E!

After two silly soldiers alerted him, Zheng Yingqi walked carefully to the car that was knocked out with a gun and checked the dead enemies one by one. Two of them were still struggling. After Zheng Yingqi took the gun without hesitation, he looked through their belongings and found no useful things. Instead, he found an M1 carbine, a Thomson submachine gun, and two soldiers' ID cards in the car.

It seems that this team of people solved two unlucky paratroopers. With the help of the headlights, Zheng Yingqi looked at the affiliated units on the identity card, but he scratched his head a little - one was a lieutenant of the 82nd Airborne Division, and the other was from the 502nd Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.

[I really saw the ghost. I don’t know how these pilots airdropped and threw the two divisions together.]

Zheng Yingqi muttered in his heart and handed the identity card belonging to the 82nd Airborne Division to the two. After seeing the identity card, the two men became sad:

"It's our company commander Lieutenant Nixon."

Zheng Yingqi shook his head and said, "Go to be ashamed of change. If you don't want others to look at your identity card to remember you, then it's better to leave here with me now - we need to determine our current location, meet with more comrades, and accept the dispatch of the officers by the way."

They took away two of their own weapons in the car, and the German weapons were thrown into the bushes by Zheng Yingqi. Although there was no such thing as weapons at this time, Zheng Yingqi did not want to use German equipment before he had to. In the chaotic battlefield of identifying gunfire, it was easy to be knocked down by his own people with his enemy's weapons.

On the battlefield, although there are few dead people who die at the guns of their own people, they are based on the huge number of deaths. After listing them, it is not a small number.

...

The three continued to grop and advance. More than twenty minutes later, fierce gunfire came from the northwest direction. Judging from the scale of the gunfire, at least more than 30 paratroopers were fighting with no less than 50 German troops.

Zheng Yingqi immediately said: "Our people! Come with me to support them!"

The two paratroopers who had no opinions or who had no opinions now naturally had no opinions and rushed towards the direction where the gunshots came.

After exploring the battlefield, Zheng Yingqi showed joy. The three of them actually appeared behind the German position. This was simply a surprise.

The most eye-catching thing on the German positions is naturally the crossfire formed by two machine guns. The machine guns set on the back positions have become the biggest murderer that hinders the paratroopers' attack. With the sound of the general machine gun tearing the cloth, the paratroopers' repeated attacks have been suppressed.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Yingqi immediately assigned a task to the two followers: "You cover us, remember, don't shoot in the same place, keep moving. Before we shoot, don't shoot first. After we exchange fire with the German army, you can cover it. Come with me, let's take off the machine gun!"

"The three of us?"

The two inferior soldiers of the 82nd Division couldn't help swallowing - they were rookies, and felt that attacking so many enemies with the meager strength of the three people was like a meat bun to beat a dog.

Zheng Yingqi had to explain: "Our friendly forces are attacking in front. As long as we solve two machine guns, friendly forces will easily break through these German blocking positions. Do you understand?"

"yes."

Then the three of them took off all the loads on their bodies, one person holding the submachine gun was responsible for cover, and the other person followed Zheng Yingqi, who was holding the submachine gun, and touched the German position.

The German army, who were fighting fiercely, directly gave up the defense of the rear positions - probably because the US paratroopers attacking in front put too much pressure on them, and in addition, this is their home court, they subconsciously felt safe behind the rear positions. Until Zheng Yingqi touched the machine gun team, the German army still did not find any enemy coming.

The archer and the deputy archer were building a rain curtain made of bullets. At this moment, the gunshot suddenly came from behind, and then their bodies leaned forward and their strength was gone. The deputy struggled and turned his head, but saw a "ghost" with oil on his face, which collapsed to the ground and disappeared, but he could not close his eyes, and he felt like he was dying and rushing his feet with his eyes closed.

Zheng Yingqi was used to death, but his companion who had just shot and killed a man was excited, and he was as if he rushed out and stabbed other German soldiers hard. Just as he was about to rush out, Zheng Yingqi took it back - bullets swept over his head, scaring the paratrooper named Jon soared.

"Try not to stand up straight."

Zheng Yingqi instructed that at this time they were standing upright on the German position, like a wooden target, and the one who hit you might not be the German army, but also their own people!

The sound of German buzzing sounds sounded, as if asking what was wrong here. Zheng Yingqi was about to fool him in German that he was not very skilled, but suddenly his scalp became numb. He dragged Jon out of the machine gun position without thinking. The moment he turned it out, there was a sound of foreign objects falling.

Grenade!

These three words flashed through Zheng Yingqi's mind. He dragged Jon forward for a few meters and then suddenly fell down. The moment he lay down, the explosion sounded, and the shock wave swept through his body with dust, and more dust fell on the two of them like rain.

Bang

Something fell down again and landed in front of Jon. Jon hurriedly wanted to run away, but was pressed down by Zheng Yingqi. This time, what was dropped was not a grenade, but a changed shape of the MG42 universal machine gun.

Only then did Jon see what was falling clearly and was about to thank Zheng Yingqi when he heard Zheng Yingqi shouting: "Go and take off another machine gun!"

The two rushed to another machine gun position. Several German troops rushed out at this time. It seemed that they wanted to deal with Zheng Yingqi who stabbed them. But as soon as they emerged, they were scared by a string of bullets and shrank back. The paratroopers in charge of covering opened fire. The submachine gun bullets poured down like rain, and a magazine disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"spendthrift!"

Zheng Yingqi cursed, "Brothers who are just on the battlefield, don't you know how to save some bullets? Are you eating stool during training?"

The cover left behind was unscientific, and there was no way Zheng Yingqi could only let Jon cover himself here. He rushed to a machine gun position about a hundred meters away. He had to deal with the machine gun as soon as possible, and then attack the German position and cooperate with the friendly troops attacking ahead to attack the German army.

The battlefield is a place to fight for life. If you want the enemy to save your life, you have to devote yourself to the battle - but it is easy to turn yourself into the battle. Just like this supporting fire point, they desperately shot at the attacking paratroopers, without paying attention to what happened in the position. Until they were shot dead by Zheng Yingqi, they still wanted to hit the Americans, fight for Hitler, and fight for Germany.

Zheng Yingqi solved these two German troops accurately, and even the two of them were not suffering too much when they died. The German army wanted to regain control of the machine gun, but at this time the machine gun stopped suddenly and the paratroopers began to attack fiercely, resulting in the German army being unable to draw people for a while. Zheng Yingqi rushed into the machine gun position, controlled the famous MG42 machine gun, and fired at the German position.

The sound of tearing the cloth sounded again, and the paratroopers who were nervously beaten by "Hitler's chainsaw" subconsciously stopped the charge and hid it on the spot. But soon they found that the flames sprayed by the machine gun did not aim at them, but were incredibly shooting at the German positions. A sergeant shouted directly:

"Run! Our detourful people control the machine gun!"

roundabout?

Sorry, they did not send out roundabout forces at all, but this did not affect the sergeant's slander at all.

Fortunately, the paratroopers who were attacking were not fooled, and they successfully attacked the German positions. When the remaining Germans saw that the situation was hopeless, they turned around and ran away, but some of them crashed into Jon. The paratrooper who was left behind by Zheng Yingqi was like a paratrooper who could not even have commands or signal presses, actually jumped up and shouted the most reliable German sentence:

"Don't move!"

Seven or eight defeated German troops were captured by Jon, who was lucky, and more than ten German troops ran away from the other end.

Zheng Yingqi and the attacking paratroopers also carefully met with each other.

A lieutenant came to Zheng Yingqi and reported to his own house: "I am Azuofu, the 2nd platoon leader of the C Company of the 1st Battalion of the 506th Regiment. Are you?"

"Jacob, Sergeant E Company, 2nd Battalion of the 506th Regiment, are from the 82nd Division, commander, where is this?" Zheng Yingqi asked after answering.

“We are about 5 kilometers south of the village of Gercy Coney at the exit of the No. 4 embankment passage.”

Embankment No. 4?

Zheng Yingqi was stunned. According to the requirements, he would be landed near the No. 2 embankment passage, but... how could he run here? It is still more than 20 kilometers away from the No. 2 embankment passage!

"Sergeant, you can't go to Company E. You have to follow us." Azov said: "There are three people from Company E in our team."

Three? When landing in this area, it is very likely that the person on the plane he was riding on. Following the direction of the C Company, Zheng Yingqi met his comrade-in-arms in Company E, Lieutenant Wersh, deputy platoon leader in the row, and Private Ali, who was hanging on the cabin door in front of the parachuting. As for another comrade-in-arms, he had become an identity card in Wersh's hand at this time.

In the battle just now, 14 paratroopers fell in the battle, and four others were seriously injured and were being treated desperately by medical soldiers. In addition to medical soldiers and wounded soldiers, there were only 19 paratroopers after the convergence, which was added to Zheng Yingqi and the others.

"Listen, we have to attack the village of Gösekoni - the wounded must stay. After capturing the village of Gösekoni, we will come and pick you up," Azov ordered, "Ben, can you take care of me?"

The medical soldier named Ben nodded and indicated that there was no problem. Everyone could transfer the wounded to a safer and hidden position, but the eight German soldiers captured by Jon became a problem - it was impossible to take the prisoners to the village of Gercekone, but the wounded soldier was only Ben, the medical soldier, and it wouldn't work if he kept them!
