Chapter 0344: Professional households who attack from behind
Everyone has their bottom line. At the beginning of the war, there will always be many people sticking to their bottom line and retaining their truth, goodness and beauty, but...
[I hope that by the end of the war, you can still retain your kindness and principles.]
Zheng Yingqi looked at Ryan's back and said softly in his heart.
Ryan just scolded him angrily and questioned his behavior, but did not make Zheng Yingqi angry. However, Zheng Yingqi especially hoped that this talkative young man with ideals and revenge would be so kind after the war ended.
but……
This is almost impossible. More people are killed, more comrades are killed, more deaths are experienced, and people's hearts and persistence will always change...
After burying the body, the team with Zero War Damage continued to set off and continued to advance towards Lambler.
Because it took nearly an hour to wait at the radar station, in order to ensure that the team could arrive before dark, under the order of Wersh, everyone accelerated their progress during this period. During this period, Jon came to Zheng Yingqi and said softly:
"Jacob, don't bother with Ryan, he just hasn't put his mind into the war yet."
Maybe it was because of the same sympathy that Jon said this and he was still scared when he remembered the events of D Day. If there were no Jacob in front of him and those in Company C, he would probably have adhered to the idea of reducing trouble and solving his own unstable factor!
"Do you think I'm going to care?"
Jon smiled brightly. Yes, Jacob would definitely not care about it. How could he care about it?
At this time, Ryan happened to turn around. When Jon saw it, he smiled brightly at him. Ryan squeezed out a smile, but did not say anything again.
The team approached Lambler in a slowly dull atmosphere. At this time, the team had already started a combat formation and was ready to deal with the possible battles at any time. They were worried that the attack would not happen. The team approached the outside of the town safely and safely, and everyone observed through the river.
"No one should be there. This place is not a strategic location for the time being. In the eyes of the German army, our vanguard is still at least 60 kilometers away from here..." Jon muttered quietly, but just after he finished speaking, his mouth closed because in his sight, several German soldiers appeared.
Zheng Yingqi frowned. Has the German army already arranged guard forces here?
Wersh didn't dare to be careless and whispered to Zheng Yingqi: "Looking at the enemy's situation, it doesn't seem like I've just arrived. The situations you can see here are limited. Jacob, let's go and take a look along the river."
Zheng Yingqi nodded. After leaving the others, the two of them carefully sneaked into a small high ground near the bridge and began to investigate the situation in the town.
The town of Lamler is on the west side of the bridge, but the German army has already arranged simple fortifications on the east side of the bridge. Judging from this arrangement, the German army realized the importance of Lamler, but did not pay much attention to it.
The reason why the Allies attached importance to Lambler was because of Cherbourg.
The port of Cherbourg is of great significance to the Allied forces. People can use landing ships to land in various places, but a large amount of equipment, including trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, etc., all require ports to load and unload, and even massive ammunition supplies, and they also need to unload through ports. The beaches that are counted on landing can provide a small number of troops, but the military supplies of millions of troops cannot be counted on just by logging in.
Therefore, in the Allied Plan, Cherbourg must be captured as completely as possible as possible.
Once the German army reacted, they would inevitably cooperate with the Cherbourg defenders to attack the Allied forces. If they wanted to attack the Allied forces, the Medelit River would lie in front of the German army. The bridges on this river would naturally become the key. But now the German army did not realize the importance of Cherbourg to the Allied forces, or the German army was full of confidence in their own strength, believing that they could drive the Allied forces from the sea, so there was no such foresight as the Allied forces.
Because of this, the German troops garrison in Lambler were not strong. Zheng Yingqi and Wersh investigated for a long time and determined that the German troops here were about one company, and the other party did not pay much attention to the bridge. They just arranged a simple position on the east side of the bridge, with two machine guns and a squad of infantry guarding it. When the other German troops were in the town, but once the battle started, the German troops could support them in just a few minutes.
"So, if we want to seize this bridge, we need to use the fastest speed. Before the German army can react, we have to occupy the east of the bridge, otherwise it will be troublesome." Wersh judged.
"Let the people above make the decision," Zheng Yingqi whispered: "We just need to report the situation we have found."
"Well, let's evacuate first, go back and contact the colonel and tell him the information."
...
The colonel arrived very quickly. When the follow-up troops were half an hour away, the colonel had already led a squad of paratroopers to the place where Zheng Yingqi and the others hid.
"Young guys, your mission has been completed very well. Unfortunately, the battle situation is urgent now, so I can't give you a good vacation, otherwise, I should have arranged a five-day long vacation for each of you." The colonel praised humorously, and then asked Wersh to take him to investigate the situation in the town. Wersh was worried and pulled Zheng Yingqi up again, and the three of them returned to the hill where they had previously investigated.
Just like Zheng Yingqi's judgment, the colonel realized that the German army did not pay attention to the bridge. He breathed a sigh of relief and said softly in a teasing tone: "God bless the United States! The Germans have not paid attention to this place yet. We don't need to find a way to blow up the bridge for the time being, just kill the defenders here."
"Thank God." Wilsh said with a smile.
The colonel thought about the attack in his mind as he was about the German army's arrangement. In the end, he decided to attack at night while the German army was not concerned about the east side of the bridge, and used the night cover to occupy the east of the bridge, and then attacked along the bridge to liberate the entire town.
But one's frontal attack was obviously not the best way, the colonel whispered: "Wilsh, Jacob, give you a task. At night, you will take people from the downstream across the river and cooperate with us to launch an attack on the defenders in the town. How about?"
"No problem, sir."
But Zheng Yingqi was stunned and what happened? How come he did it? From the time of D-Day Airborne to now, all his battles were attacked from behind? Even if he solved the defenses of the radar station, he used this method.
It seems that I have stabbed the Germans in the back.
A little vulgar!
Although... I like this method very much.
The tactical colonel of the attack on Lambler had been formulated, which was to raid the east of the bridge at night, occupy the east of the bridge and attack the town by crossing the bridge and swimming. At the same time, two teams were sent to swim across the river in advance and lurk on the west and north sides of the town. After the battle broke out, two scuba squads launched an attack on the German army at the same time, creating the illusion of three sieges forcing the German army to abandon this town with little "meaning".
Wersh's temporary miscellaneous squad was responsible for swimming and attacking from the west side of the German army Lieutenant Azowf this time added four people to Wersh, making Wersh's team reach a squad.
But the ingredients are very complicated: there are 3 people from two regiments of the 82nd Division, three people from the E Company of the 506th Regiment, two from the C Company, and five people from the 502nd Regiment, which is simply a hodgepodge.
In Jon's self-deprecating tone, we are the most miscellaneous class on the entire battlefield.
But the miracle is that under the leadership of Wilsh, this team with complex composition became the most elite team in the eyes of Azov and the Colonel. But only the people in this squad knew that they could gradually become a squadron named Jacob in the team. It was this brave, good at fighting and decisive sergeant that made the unconscious team extremely combat-ready.
And now, they will follow this sergeant and create another glory.
At nine o'clock in the evening, three kilometers away from Lambler, two teams completed their preparations before crossing the river and were preparing to cross the river.
Jon whispered at this time: "Guys, after we occupy Lambler, we may have to wait for several days before we can advance the reinforcements coming from behind, so... we don't need prisoners, right?"
No one said anything, but everyone was nodding.
After a while, Ryan cursed in a low voice: "Damn war."
Yes, this damn war!
In just three days, many people's expectations for war became hatred, but they understood that they still have a long way to go before the end of the war.
The river surface of this swimming point is less than ten meters wide, which is not an insurmountable problem for this group of paratroopers who have received swimming training. In addition, with Zheng Yingqi's assistance, they completed the swimming in a blink of an eye, appeared wet across the river, and then collectively entered a state of silence, quietly touching the west side of the town, which is opposite to the bridge.
At this time, the colonel had already lurked less than a mile from the bridge.
"Azoufu, take your platoon to occupy the east of the bridge, and then cross the bridge to establish a firepower fulcrum. We will come over later. Do you understand? You must be quick! Take another bridge and move, and then cross the bridge. Do you need to understand quickly?" The colonel found Azoufu over and repeated the previous orders for Azoufu.
This was the army convened by the colonel in half a day. He convened such a force at multiple parachute meeting points, a "battalion" with a complex composition as the squad led by Wersh. Among these more than 300 people, about 100 people came from the 82nd Division, and the rest were from the 502nd Parachute Regiment and the 506th Parachute Regiment. Except for the C Company of the 506th Regiment, everyone did not have a complete class system. They were all temporary combat troops organized by officers on the battlefield. Therefore, the colonel was most interested in the C Company C, which was useful and certainly organized. In addition, the 506th Regiment itself is very famous in the division, so the colonel handed over the most critical task to Azow of Company C.
"Understand your understanding! Hurry! Use the fastest speed!" Azov repeated.
"Go, young man, I know your 506th Regiment is the best!" The colonel patted Azou's shoulder and watched Azou leave with fourteen people from the platoon.
Like the vast number of junior officers of the 506th Regiment and even the 101st Division, Azov graduated from the Reserve Officer School and completed the promotion from the second lieutenant to the lieutenant in the training camp. He learned to fight during training camp training and exercises, but he could really fight, but he learned to fight on the battlefield. Compared with other officers, Azov has experienced three difficult battles since he was airborne, especially in the third battle. Azov once thought he was going to be finished, and even made preparations for the final preparations.
He was tempered by simple and rough battles and wars into qualified officers who could fight and were more trusted by the soldiers in his own platoon.
"I will take a group and just rush over later. You are divided into two groups to prepare for cover. Porter, Alvin, Taber, you three follow me, ready. When I say that when I throw it, all of them will be thrown to the German position on the east side of the bridge, then rush forward, break through the German position, and rush to the opposite side of the bridge to establish a defense line. Do you understand? We need to withstand three to five minutes, and then the colonel will lead people to flatten the German army inside! Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Okay, we are lying down and approaching the German position. Remember, the process of infiltration is better slower than in a hurry, but the battle begins, and there is only one word: fast! faster!"
After Azoufu arranged everything, he took three soldiers to the German army's suggested position, which was three circular positions made of sandbags. Obviously, in the eyes of the German army at this time, the bridge was only a level-like place for the time being and did not rise to a critical node that concerns the success or failure of the battle.
The boring Ye made several German troops in Qiaodong unable to help but enter a state of scattering. They did not notice the figure lying in the dark. Azouf suppressed his ecstasy and lurked less than thirty meters away from Qiaodong's position.
"Thanks to Hitler for not letting you build a position in the small highlands." Azov said gratefully, then signaled his three subordinates to take out grenades, fired them together and threw them at the simple German position.
Boom
The explosion sounded, and at the moment the explosion sounded, Azouf jumped up and began to sprint with all his might. The three subordinates behind him rushed immediately. The enemy troops in the Qiaodong position did not die in the explosion. After reacting from the drowsiness of the sudden explosion, the two German troops started to fire, but the gun flames exposed their positions. Then, bullets like heavy rain poured down, which made the two German troops unable to raise their heads.
Asuf rushed towards him, and the submachine gun swept the German army that was fighting against one. The remaining two German troops were also knocked down by Ivan with submachine guns. Then the four of them rushed across the bridge like a whirlwind and established a defense line across the bridge.
"follow up!"
The remaining two groups immediately rose from the fire place, and the colonel who had been waiting patiently, immediately ordered: "Run!"
More than a hundred paratroopers began to swim in an armed manner, and the rest followed the colonel and rushed to the bridge in the distance.
The explosion and gunfire alarmed the German army in the town. Countless German troops quickly came out of the house, gathered, and then attacked in the direction of the bridge. On the west side of the town, Wersh, who had finally waited for the gunfire, was about to order an attack, but Zheng Yingqi reached out to stop him.
Chapter completed!
