To be honest, the military career is actually the most boring one - if you can't get used to this boredom, or learn to find interesting fun in boredom, the closed military camp career will drive you crazy.

Fortunately, human adaptability is extremely strong. Most people have learned how to accept it in the closed military camps. Just like Zheng Yingqi, he enjoys this closed management, just like returning to the years. However, foreigners everywhere remind him that this is not old A...

Here, there will never be the smell of old A base.

In order to make the smell of Old A here, Zheng Yingqi has formulated a high-intensity training plan for himself - when others are preparing for Christmas, he is busy training, and when others are busy preparing for Christmas competitions, he is still training.

Only training can prevent him from missing the base that made him dream of - for many years in the world of sword lighting, although he missed the brothers who were struggling with him on the training ground, he always had a sense of responsibility and honor at that time because he was fighting with those legendary predecessors.

But here, although he knew that he was on the side of justice, his language was completely different from his mother tongue and the skin color was completely different from the race he needed to protect, which always made him unable to feel home.

The more this happens, the more he misses the place he dreams of.

Only by using high-intensity training can I stop missing it for the time being.

But to others, such a picture is out of place - they are on vacation!

"Jacob, I think you need to vent on the court - come here, don't seem to be out of place with you in the training ground." Gordon tempted Zheng Yingqi. If in society, people like Zheng Yingqi who are incompatible with the people around him will be isolated tacitly, but in the army in the war, their strong combat power makes Zheng Yingqi become the target of "licking" by others, no matter how introverted his behavior is.

"No, I still have a training plan that has not been completed today. I still need to consume 100 bullets and do 100 push-ups. Well, there is still one five kilometers..." Zheng Yingqi reported the training plan that he had not yet solved. Gordon, who was standing by, ran away with a football, muttering in his heart:

Hell, don't this guy know how to take a good vacation?

After Gordon failed to tempt Zheng Yingqi, no one went to find Zheng Yingqi to hit a wall, so he could only let Zheng Yingqi continue to be withdrawn - some new recruits who joined the E Company did not understand this situation, thinking that Zheng Yingqi was the isolated object, and there was a kind young man named Eric who specially found Zheng Yingqi when there was no one, trying to persuade Zheng Yingqi to integrate into the group rather than become the isolated object.

Of course, Zheng Yingqi would not be indifferent to such kind-hearted people. He smiled and said, "In this group, excellence is the only criterion." After that, he continued to run his five kilometers, leaving Eric, who was puzzled, in a daze.

"Hey, what did you say to him?" Wilsh saw Eric in a daze and walked over to ask.

"Sir," Eric saluted, "he's such a weirdo. I suggest he integrate into the group, but he said something inexplicably."

"What do you mean?" Wilsh asked with interest.

"He said that in this group, excellence is the only criterion."

Weirsh laughed, patted the newcomer's shoulder and said, "He's right - young man, you have been trying to integrate with veterans through activities these days, but you have forgotten one thing: self-improvement is the foundation. If you are not outstanding enough, they will never agree with you, and he..." Weirsh pointed to Zheng Yingqi, who was stubbornly running five kilometers in the military camp, and said:

"He is one of the souls of this collective, and no one goes back to isolate him."

"One of the soul?" Private Second Class was puzzled, and Velsh did not explain his doubts, but asked him to observe slowly. This was an observation that the newcomer must learn. He left here immediately. As the platoon leader, he was very busy with re-staffing, especially when the above deliberately over-allocated officers for the grassroots troops.

The entire E Company soldier's organization reached 96% before the Market Garden Operation, but the officer's organization was as high as 116%. Obviously, there were other plans above. As the oldest officer with the highest qualifications in the E Company and the best military achievements, Wilsh also dared not relax. If a bastard catches his painful foot and then thrusts his brain and throws himself out of the E Company, it will be troublesome.

"These guys have to be calm, and they can't always prepare for Christmas." Wilsh murmured.

...

Although Wersh "will insist on" strengthening the training volume of E Company, the paratroopers did not care about such low-standard training intensity, but were still immersed in the laughter of the upcoming Christmas. Although they could not spend an unforgettable Christmas in Berlin, it was actually possible here. After all, the French are so enthusiastic and unrestrained - it seems that it is good to spend a wonderful night with French girls on Christmas or Christmas Eve.

but……

Reality is always so ruthless!

On December 17, Eisenhower in Lance prepared more than 10,000 cars for the troops in just one day - there is no doubt that the 101st Division must be one of the first 60,000 people dispatched.

In fact, after breakfast, the paratroopers had an unknown premonition. At that time, Lieutenant Dyke looked solemn and shouted to his subordinates who had finished breakfast and planned to digest food: "Stay on the spot!"

After hearing this, the paratroopers knew that they had to "work" again - damn it. It was agreed that this would be permanently stationed here, but how many days did it end up? Even Christmas is not allowed to be celebrated?

Compared to the others who looked depressed, Zheng Yingqi's expression became much more indifferent, but inexplicable emotions were hidden in his indifferent expression - he knew that this would break out a long time ago.

Battle of Ardennes!

At this time, the largest battle in the entire Western Front was - although later studies have always believed that it was foolish to send all armored troops to launch a military action without real strategic goals, but the fact is that this sneak attack, the German army succeeded, not only did it succeed, but also caused significant losses to the Allies.

Twenty thousand allies were killed, 20,000 were captured, and more than 40,000 were injured - two infantry divisions were annihilated, of which 7,500 of the 106 infantry divisions surrendered directly to the German army. This was the largest number of US surrenders in the War against Germany. At the same time, about 800 tanks and armored vehicles of the US military were destroyed.

But war is about foundation, logistics, and thick skin!

From the beginning and even before the outbreak, this battle exceeded the expectations of all Allied officers. The clouds of the failure of the Market Garden Operation did not make all Allied officers pessimistic. They always optimistic that the Germans were just struggling to death and that Germany was going to be finished - they were thinking about how to deal with the Germans, not how to deal with them.

So this sneak attack that is comparable to Barbarossa's raid or sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was successfully successful.

For the Germans, this was an excellent start, but the point is... the Germans are so poor!

For the Allies led by the United States, there is no big problem if this battle loses. Even if the battle is shocking, it still does not affect the strength of the Allies. The German army cannot go against the will of heaven and receive the main oil depot of the US military intact. Without gasoline, the huge armored forces pieced together by the German army will only become a group of iron bumps with counterattack ability in the end!

Zheng Yingqi shook his head gently. The German army was very similar to the German army at the beginning of World War II, but that was the final rebirth. Of course, these had nothing to do with him, a small sergeant. The only thing that had something to do was that the 101st Airborne Division seemed to...

It seems to be surrounded by the German army!

...

At 20:30 on the 17th.

The command of the command reached the first-level combat unit of the company: be prepared for combat, and boarded the car after the truck arrived in the morning, heading north towards Bastogne.

"I won't go! I'm going to prepare for the Christmas rugby game! I'm going to let the grandsons of the 82nd Division know what a real man is!" Gordon shouted after the order was conveyed, but this shout only attracted the understanding of the officers. After all, they had made a long preparation to teach the 82nd Division a lesson.

Compared to the issues that non-commissioned officers and paratroopers consider, officers need to consider more things, and they are not in the mood to complain about the waste of their preparations for Christmas.

"We have no ammunition!"

“The new addition of staffing is severely lacking, we have a lot of rugby helmets, but no steel helmets!”

"We are short of two machine guns and machine gunners!"

"Sir, our winter clothes are not yet shipped, our boots are not lining, nor waterproof, and we don't have long underwear and fur socks to wear in winter."

The officers reported on the current situation, Lieutenant Dyke pinched his painful head, thinking that the news was bad enough, but Wilsh added another one to him:

"Sir, we even have a serious shortage of K-level dry food!"

Yes, they all have severe shortage of K-class dry food that the soldiers dislike the most. During their stay, who would hate K-class dry food that everyone is annoying to the logistics department? But this thing is an indispensable material during war.

These problems cannot be overcome at all - Momion does not have an ammunition depot, and the E Company's ammunition was brought out from the Netherlands, and these ammunitions were consumed by Zheng Yingqi. It was really... an accident.

"Anyway, we must get in the car tomorrow morning!" Dyke ended the meeting with this sentence - can he, a small company commander, solve these things?

Not only Dyke was confused, but even Captain Winters and Colonel Sink were confused. They only knew that they would get in the car in the morning and march towards Bastogne. Apart from that, the commanders of each regiment could only keep asking General McAuliff, but Brigadier General McAuliff, who was in charge of the 101st Airborne Division, was also confused. He had no idea where the troops were going!

The only thing I know is that the Germans made a big hole in the defense line, and the army was retreating, so someone had to block the hole - who came?

It can only be an airborne!

This is what happened before the 101st Division set out.

...

Early in the morning, the truck arrived as scheduled - the weather was not suitable for airborne, and the command could not quickly concentrate a large number of C-47 transport aircraft, and could only rely on the transport team to solve the transport of the troops.

After the tired truck drivers loaded the soldiers, they formed a team and set out all the way north. In the cold wind, the paratroopers complained.

Gordon said in disbelief: "We have to go to the battlefield without even sending out the winter clothes!"

I thought the bastards in the front and rear logistics department of their front and rear board would replenish them with winter clothes and ammunition, but they threw them into the truck without giving them any more?

"This mission is too urgent, and there is no time to prepare - I was stopped by the military police. They unloaded the equipment from my car and threw me here." The driver said loudly: "Your situation is still good, at least it is military cards. Some troops cannot get enough military trucks, so they can only use civilian trucks!"

"Man, drive well! Don't sleep!" Gordon hurriedly showed his head to the driver and said to the driver.

Not only Gordon was worried, but the others were also shocked. Fortunately, the driver was trapped, but there was no scene that they most reluctant to see - this probably had a lot to do with the packs of cigarettes that the paratroopers gathered for the driver.

The entire 101 Airborne Division required about 380 trucks to transport more than 11,000 people, but the first batch of trucks arrived obviously did not have enough, so it could only allow the most elite 506th Regiment to set out first - there is no doubt that the 2nd Battalion was the leader again.
Chapter completed!
