Halfway through, the place where the 101st Division was going to fill the pit was finally confirmed:

Go to Bastogne to block the gap!

But at this time, everyone did not realize what would happen to the unlucky place in Bastogne. Zheng Yingqi, who was familiar with the matter, subconsciously touched the ammunition on his body, thinking:

The Americans are rich and powerful, so they shouldn't let soldiers fight with fire sticks, right?

As for the others, they didn't even think about what would happen in Bastogne. Starting from the airborne on D-Day Normandy, repeated victories allowed them to develop the demeanor that heroes should have. The veterans only had one idea:

Go there, fight the Germans, and get the victory.

"The Germans are nothing great, they all have a head on their shoulders - as Jacob said, the Germans are fighting with us now, and they are several pieces apart. In terms of supply capacity, support capacity, and firepower, they are incomparable to us now. Every time their tanks are dispatched, they have to carefully calculate their oil volume. Where are we?" Gordon said to the newcomer with a smile:

"We've been stupid and short of it? Even if we pile up steel, we can kill the Germans!"

"But now..." A recruit pointed at the weapon in his hand: "Even there is a shortage of bullets."

"Tsk, will the officials ask us to fight with fire sticks?" Gordon said indifferently - he had not seen the officers worry, and thought that in Bastogne, the Logistics Department would prepare them with sufficient ammunition, but it is undeniable that Gordon's remarks gave the newcomers a little more confidence.

Seeing Gordon's affirmation, Zheng Yingqi muttered in his heart: "Uh, there should be."

But when he approached more than ten kilometers of Bastogne, Gordon's words were defeated by ruthless facts.

At first they just saw the scattered defeated soldiers, and they didn't care about these scared defeated soldiers. These defeated soldiers were full of panic, and only knew to run south along the road and even blocked the road. Under the constant loudspeaker of the trucks at the forefront, the defeated soldiers went to both sides and continued their journey of desperation.

The existence of the defeated soldiers slowed down the speed of the convoy, but this was not the most terrible. After walking a kilometer slowly, the scale of the defeated soldiers increased in vain. The defeated soldiers who threw their weapons and backpacks kept shouting:

"Run!"

"They are so powerful! We can't beat them!"

"Run, the Germans are here!"

I don’t know where I shouted this sentence. After finally being shouted by Company E, the defeated soldiers on both sides of the road were suddenly coaxed and turned into a group of needless beasts. They rushed wildly, turning the E-Company soldiers who maintained order into drowning men struggling in the flood, and forced the difficult and slow-moving convoy to stop.

"Grass! Where are the Germans?" Gordon stood in a panic on the roof of the truck cab and roared at the defeated soldiers: "Tell me where are the Germans, I'll kill them!"

But without the defeated soldiers ruling Gordon's roar, they would just run south with their heads covering their heads.

"It can't be like this!" Lieutenant Dyke jumped from the top of the car's cab and frowned: "There are too many defeated soldiers, and we can't wait for them to pass before moving forward."

There are more than a lot of defeated soldiers. He just stood on the cab and looked at the end of the telescope, and the defeat of this scale made people unable to help but despair - so many troops lost, lost, and continued to defeat, can they turn the world around?

"We can only walk," Dyke ordered to Wersh: "Wersh's platoon leader, one row of vanguards, immediately headed to Bastogne, and after entering the city, he looked for the logistics department and asked them for ammunition."

"Yes." After Wersh received the order, he turned around and issued an order to the gathered subordinates--no doubt that the first squad where Zheng Yingqi was in became the striker among the strikers again.

A team headed towards Bastogne along both sides of the kilometer. About two or three kilometers near Bastogne, the faint sound of gunfire was already much more obvious.

"In the northeast direction, it should be eight or nine kilometers to hear the sound." Zheng Yingqi made a judgment and ordered people to pass this judgment to the troops behind him, and he led people into the city of Bastogne. In the past, American soldiers would be enthusiastically welcomed by the local people as liberators, just like when they were in the Netherlands, they delayed the fighter planes because of the extreme enthusiasm of the locals, but there was no welcome in Bastogne. The locals locked up the door, and no one opened it even if they kept knocking on the door.

The city was very chaotic, with defeated soldiers on the front line everywhere. Zheng Yingqi and a squad of paratroopers kept stopping one by one and asking them about the location of the logistics, but all the defeated soldiers shook their heads and said they didn't know anything. Then, like eight-legged dogs, they broke away from the paratroopers and rushed out of the city, and then became one of the culprits to block reinforcements.

Gordon was panicked now. He imagined that the logistics officers put boxes of ammunition on the roadside and waited for them to receive them without any situation. He only relied on the ammunition on his body to carry the Germans?

This is not the case when giving away heads!

He said to Zheng Yingqi in panic: "What should we do? Do we just take the fire sticks? This thing is inappropriate when it is dismantled."

Zheng Yingqi is experienced. Well, he has had such an experience, so he naturally knows what to do. He immediately ordered the paratroopers to stop the defeated soldiers and ask for ammunition from the defeated soldiers.

"You have a way!" Gordon was overjoyed and hurriedly led the roadblocks set up by his men to stop the defeated soldiers - the defeated soldiers who were defeated by the Germans. When he saw his own roadblocks, he thought he wanted to stop them and lead them into the battlefield. He was immediately anxious and even pointed the gun at the group of paratroopers with his gun.

They did not have the courage to point guns at the enemy, but when they were facing their own people, they were particularly cruel.

Zheng Yingqi roared and said, "Listen, we are not going to push you into the battlefield! We are reinforcements! Not military police! We need ammunition! You can leave, but you must leave ammunition for us! We need to take bullets to hit the Germans!"

After hearing that it was a request for bullets, the defeated soldiers immediately put away their guns and threw all the bullets on the roadside. Even the weapons that were in trouble were thrown down one after another. In a while, countless defeated soldiers provided a mountain of bullets and guns.

But Gordon became more and more angry as he looked at it. Damn, I rushed up from France to block the gap for you. You were so stupid that you threw down all your weapons and ammunition like leaving garbage. I felt like these fucking was lifting the responsibility for combat - an infantryman dropped the few bullets, he asked if there were any, and the other party replied:

"This is my remaining ammunition, and some of them, I lost them while on the road. These things are too heavy."

Gordon was like a gunshot on this guy's face at that time, but considering that there were too many defeats here, he did not dare to do anything to intensify the conflict, so he could only say sarcastically:

"Of course you have to go on the road with light loads as a deserter."

But the defeated soldiers did not care about such ridicule, but mingled into the crowd and left here with an impatient heart.

Dyke rushed from behind. Although he was very satisfied with Zheng Yingqi's unique way of obtaining ammunition, he looked at the ammunition in front of him and said worriedly: "Not enough! It's far from enough!"

The Galand Carbines equipped by the paratroopers are semi-automatic rifles. When they go crazy, they can consume dozens of bullets in one minute. There are so many bullets here, but for the entire E Company, it is just a drop in the bucket - and the entire 101st Division is seriously lacking in bullets!

"Wilsh has already brought people to the city to find a logistics department, but our people are not familiar with the situation in the city. The army in the city has retreated long ago and can only take a chance." Zheng Yingqi said with a serious expression: "Sir, but before this, we must continue to do this, and we must collect a certain amount of ammunition."

In the plot of "Discovering the Sword", even Li Yunlong, who is constantly making money, never dares to say to the entire regiment: "Damn, I have enough bullets, and you will beat the Japanese hard." Generally speaking, each person in a battle is limited to double-digit or even single-digit bullets, and if the bullet is gone, he has to find a way out - but if any officer in the US military dares to treat his subordinates like this, he will not wait until the battle is shot and will be killed by mutiny soldiers.

Of course, E Company would not do this, but the big-handed American soldiers, holding these bullets, will probably not be beaten in a few minutes. Then, they will use fire sticks to fight with the Germans for bayonets?

Oh, the Germans are definitely happy to use bullets to fulfill their goals.

Dyke agreed with Zheng Yingqi's suggestion and ordered his subordinates to launch in Bastogne to collect ammunition. Of course, he still hoped to find the arsenal.

Just as Company E was collecting bullets at the defeated soldiers, a jeep that had been honking the horns rushed away the defeated soldiers who were intercepted by roadblocks and quickly crawled. A second lieutenant jumped off the jeep and reported to his own door:

"I am George C. Rice, the logistics officer of Sobori's Squadron of the 10th Armored Division B Combat Command. Are you support troops? Are you lacking bullets?"

Logistics officer?

Zheng Yingqi was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Jacob, a sergeant of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, sir, we came to support him from Momion, but Momion did not have an arsenal. Our ammunition was carried by the Netherlands during the retreat, which was seriously insufficient!"

"I know an arsenal! Let's find a truck to go there!" Lieutenant Rice said hurriedly.

Zheng Yingqi immediately followed and blocked a truck that was running away in a hurry. The truck was filled with defeated soldiers. When the defeated soldiers saw someone trying to requisition their support for running away, they immediately stopped and shouted to let the paratroopers get out, but they were decisively "suppressed" by Zheng Yingqi. After defeating five defeated soldiers with a butt stock, the defeated soldiers whose fists were not as big as Zheng Yingqi finally became cowardly and cursed and left the truck.

But what makes people speechless is that the truck driver also ran away.

"Grass, you run so fast!" Gordon cursed.

Fortunately, there were so many soldiers in the US military who knew how to drive and did not miss the situation because of the truck driver's escape. Gordon drove himself and found the arsenal that had long disappeared under the leadership of Lieutenant Rice.

Zheng Yingqi could only sigh that the US military was rich and powerful. If it were on the Chinese battlefield, even if the national army was often cheated, it would not have been abandoned directly and ran away.

After the truck returned to the "haired" area of ​​Company E, the paratroopers of Company E rushed over like crazy, desperately stuffing ammunition on their bodies. This was the first time Zheng Yingqi saw such a scene of snatching bullets in the US military. Who told me that there were so many defeated soldiers and the sound of the fire exchange was so fierce? Everyone believed that every bullet they stuffed was able to use at critical moments.

The E Company, full of bullets, bid farewell to Lieutenant Rice, and continued to advance, rushing towards the direction of Fuwa, the most intense fire exchange. Lieutenant Rice did not retreat. He also needed to provide ammunition for the follow-up troops. The follow-up troops were all "hungry men" who were seriously lacking bullets. When the post-war reign was heard, many people said that the lieutenant named Rice should have obtained the first merit. If it weren't for him, the support troops would definitely be killed and then become part of the defeated troops.

Company E arrived at the front line, but did not invest in the most intense line, but established a defense line several hundred meters away from the front line. Dyke did not understand the situation on the front line at all, and it was not necessarily useful to fill in the troops rashly. Instead, the fiercely fighting troops were very likely to take this opportunity to give up their positions and call it: Move Defense!

The entire 506th Regiment's troops arrived one after another. Colonel Sinke ordered the third battalion to advance to Fuwa, while the second battalion was responsible for protecting the right wing - Company E established a defensive position at the connection between a vast land and a forest.

After establishing the position, Gordon sat down and rested, saying, "Fortunately we chose airborne troops instead of becoming ordinary infantry - those infantry are just a group of bastards! Damn, ten kilometers away from Bastogne, the bastards were already running, and kept saying that the whole Bastogne was full of Germans. I was afraid that once I entered Bastogne, I would have to fight with the Germans, but what about the Germans?"

Gordon said angrily: "We haven't seen the Germans yet! They must have heard the Germans' gunshots and started running!"

Zheng Yingqi shrugged and said, "Christmas is coming, no one would have thought that the Germans would counterattack at this time - believe me, when the Germans came, they would definitely be preparing for the rugby game just like us."

"But we can throw into the battlefield in the first place in the form of a retrograde, and they will only throw all the bullets and weapons at the first place to run away - by the way, they will also say that it is too slow to run away with bullets and weapons." Gordon retorted.

"So we are paratroopers, and they are infantry."

Okay, you make sense, I can't tell you. Gordon spread his hands and looked at the three newcomers in the class. He said this on purpose just now. Wade was just cheering the newcomers, but the newcomers were not affected by this fearless thought, but were looking around in panic.

"No need to look at it. Our left and right are our partners. The enemies we need to face are enemies that were defeated by us in both battles and will continue to defeat. They are not enemies that are almost invincible to the desperation of demons! And you must understand that you are following the strongest warrior of the entire 101st Division - so you can take a rest while now, because when the fight begins, the Germans who give away their heads will not let you rest, but can't wait to ask us to take away their heads." Gordon said with a dance.

Zheng Yingqi thought that Gordon was very promising for the first time, well, it wasn't because he praised himself.
Chapter completed!
