Chapter 87 Rear

The German tank was hit and caught fire, but it was not made by Chrisden. Before he rushed to the right position, he suddenly saw the German tank making a huge explosion.

"Hy, 2nd Armored Division!" Someone cheered on the position of Company E.

"Beautiful, Sherman!" Hooborough expressed his heartfelt admiration at the rolling steel chariot. Just like the loud cheers of his brothers around him.

Six tanks of the 2nd Armored Division charged the Germans with the support of some of the infantry of the 29th Division who had just been transferred. The remaining two German tanks saw that the situation was not good, so they quickly reversed and tried to slip away. But the Sherman tank did not let go of the best chance for them to reverse and attack. Six tanks opened fire almost at the same time, hitting two tanks trying to escape, and instantly ignited a fire.

"It's our tank!" Gordon, with a bloody face, patted Stello on the shoulder and laughed.

Pai Kandi stood up, picked up his gun and fired continuously at the retreating Germans, and then at the German soldiers who retreated one after another and rushed up and fled one after another, laughing and shouted, "Run away quickly, you poor bastards!"

"Now is the time to fight back!" Winster shouted loudly as he shuttled, "Shoot, shoot, don't let them go. Let them know how powerful we are."

The Germans' offensive was very fast, but now they retreat faster. German soldiers kept falling down, then trampled by the people behind them, and then hit and fell down. From time to time, screams came from the sound of bullets and explosions.

"The defense line is over!" Haite, behind the German position, raised his glasses and looked at the troops in front of him who had been beaten by the U.S. military, and couldn't help sighing. Then he slowly put down his glasses.

"Colo, do you order them to retreat to the second line of defense?" Major Andris looked at Haight's face, which was a little gloomy, and the tone seemed to be a kind of helplessness after exhaustion.

Hai nodded and ignored Andris. He went straight into the regimental headquarters, where there was a huge map. His eyes were fixed on the map. He just looked at it quietly and did nothing.

Andris tried to call the front line, but the phone line was disconnected and it was already chaotic. He decided to go there in person to remove the defeated soldiers, and perhaps he could still play a role in the second line of defense.

The German army, which had already charged, quickly retreated to its position under the attack of U.S. tanks. After entering the position, they began to organize some resistance, but their formation was chaotic, and the effective resistance was not strong, and the Sherman tank had begun to hit their fence. This was the barrier of their first line of defense. Once they broke through, the defense line would disappear under the sweep of the Sherman tank.

Bloe climbed out of the scattering pit, and this battle almost exhausted his energy. The brothers of Company E began to advance with the troops of the 29th Division.

After advancing more than ten meters, Bloi raised his rifle again. He was looking for the shaking figures behind the fence. Although he shot out a few bullets, he understood that the name of the Germans might be very small, which was just to embolden himself.

A figure clearly appears in his sight. It was a major who was shouting something at the valiant Germans, as if he was commanding them to retreat.

He stopped, and the German major stopped, which was a very good time. Bloi said, "Forgive him, God." With that, he pulled the trigger.

"Ban!" With a sound, Bloi could still be in the sight, seeing the major shaking his body and trying to stabilize it. However, soon, it was hit by bullets fired by the U.S. military behind.

"Good job! Bloi!" As Pax was moving forward, he saw a German major. When he was about to raise his gun to aim, he suddenly heard a gunshot. It was the sound of M1, and the German major was shot. He turned his head and saw that it was Bloi's shot, so he gave him a thumbs up and praised him loudly.

The German major finally fell down. And the Sherman tank finally rushed through the fence on the side of the Germans, swept the remaining Germans on the position, and drove them out of the position.

"Bloy, go and have a look. Maybe the major has Luger!" Parks shouted at Bloi.

When Bloi heard this, she was immediately refreshed and ran to the place where the major fell. The Luger pistol is a ** that no soldier in the U.S. can refuse, not only because Luger is a very excellent pistol, but also because the Luger pistol represents an identity in the German army and a symbol of nobility. So this is an incomparable honor for the U.S. soldiers who captured it.

Blowy has squatted beside the major and began to search. At this time, another person ran to the major and shouted at him, "Hey, Broy, I hit him."

It's Malach. He's shouting at Broy.

"No, don't even think about it. It was my first shot." Bloi turned over the body of the lying German major, with a handsome face, death, and no expression in his eyes. He died, but the handle of a pistol was obviously exposed in the pistol holster around his waist. Bloi stretched out his hand.

"Ruger!" Broy shouted in surprise, and then took out the pistol.

"Damn it!" Malaqi looked at Parks who came over helplessly, "I hit him too."

Parks shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It was Broy who hit it first. It seems that you have to wait until the next time. I hope you will move faster and don't let anyone take the lead.

Malaqi muttered and began to rush forward again.

Bloi put Luger in his pocket and began to look through the German major's pocket, hoping to find something else from it. This is a major, which means that there must be no shortage of valuable things. In fact, the major's body did not disappoint him. He found a pocket watch, pure gold, and then touched a thin thing in the arms of the German major.

is a photo. When Parks took it out, he saw a photo, a family photo. A quiet woman, a handsome officer and a lovely girl. He turned over the photos one by one and looked at the back of the quilt, and there was a line of words. But he doesn't know.

Broy suddenly felt that his hand was a little trembling, and his heart seemed to be hit by something, which made him feel a little painful. He didn't know what to do. He looked at Parks, who had come to him, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Parks took a look at the photo and just sighed in his heart. What about the family that was sacrificed in the war? Germans, Americans, French, British... I don't know how many families were crushed into powder in the gunfire.

"Photographed by wives Emma, daughters Lena and Andris in July 1943." Parks read a sentence.

"What?" Bloi looked at Parks.

"It's written on the back of the photo!" Parks smiled bitterly. After talking, he saw that Bloi's eyes seemed to be a little dim, and he knew what was going on his mind.

"It's not your fault, Broy!" Parks could only say to him, "Forget this. Think about the families of the Americans who were destroyed in this war. Of course, those families in other countries. This is the war!" Parks returned the photo to him, then patted him on the shoulder, took a rifle, and continued to move forward to attack the German position. Broly stunned for a moment, then put the photo close to her body, put it in her arms, picked up a rifle, and followed Parks.

"Boom--" Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded on the German position, lifting the dirt and the branches of the fence on the position high, and then the huge explosion sounded.

"German shelling!" Parks shouted, "Get down!" A flying body crushed Troy beside him to the ground. All the attacking American soldiers dodged one after another and looked for a shelter.

"Boom!" With a sound, a Sherman tank was hit by a shell and caught fire. The tankman tried to drive the tank away, but soon the shell inside was led, making a huge explosion, which was completely destroyed, together with the tanker inside.

The rest of the tanks retreated one after another, trying to escape the German shelling. But the shelling was sudden and fierce, and then another Sherman tank was hit and caught fire.

"Stand steady, steady!" Winters shouted loudly, "Find your own cover." He shuttled through the gunfire, and although there were constantly flying stones, mud and branches splashing beside him, he didn't seem to see it.

The brothers of Company E began to hide in the German position. The 29th Division got the follow-up troops and began to drive in to the position. This is the support of Company E, and they came to replace the defense of Company E.

After a round of shelling, the U.S. attack was contained. They occupied the first line of defense of the Germans, entered their defensive positions, and began to confront the second line of the Germans.

Colonel Haite slowly put down his glasses, and he did not sigh. He knew that he had ordered the shelling of the position, so he could not avoid killing his own people, but without the shelling, no one could stop the American's charge to the second line of defense with the support of Sherman tanks.

After Major Andris went out to contact, he never came back. Haight knew that Major Andris could not come back. When he issued the shelling order, his hand couldn't help shaking slightly.

But he knew that he had to do so. He tried to attribute the trembling of his hands to excitement and not to pity. If it is pity, it will be your biggest weakness.

He suddenly sounded the photo of Major Andris.

"Coloner, we blocked the American offensive!" At this time, a captain ran over and reported loudly to Haight happily. Because this means that they may also organize a counterattack or defense.

"Yes, we have defended them. This is really good news!" Haite tries his best to make his tone more relaxed. He doesn't want to cause nervousness in his subordinates, which is not good for morale.

"Yes, Colonel!" The captain nodded, "We have time to free up and teach those arrogant Americans a lesson!"
