Chapter 153 Surrender

The Germans occupied Wigher and cut off the road. Cutting off the road means that all vehicles seized by the enemy will be burned or blown up, which means that untransferable vehicles will block the whole road. For the brothers in Nijmegen and Arnam, cutting off the road is like cutting off the arteries, and the supplies that maintain survival - food, ammunition and medicine - can no longer be transported to the north.

Colonel Sink was ordered to reoccupy Wegher. However, Wigherr's F Company was defeated by the Germans, leaving more than 60 people left the town in a panic, and then joined forces with the other two battalions led by Colonel Sink.

"God, this is the worst news I've heard!" On the way to the march, Sink learned of Major Horton's death, which hit him hard. To be honest, Major Horton has cooperated with him for more than two years and has established a good personal relationship and a tacit understanding of command. So when he heard the bad news, he was tongue-tied and couldn't make a sound for a long time.

"The second battalion is missing a battalion commander, Sink!" Lieutenant Colonel Stry said to Colonel Sink, "Let's solve this problem first to avoid confusion in command!"

Sink came to his senses and said gloomyly, "I know, I know, Stry, I'm a little confused now. Think about it, who is more suitable to be the battalion commander of the second battalion now?"

"Charles? Lieutenant Colonel Chase is a very good choice!" Stryll said, "He is experienced!"

Sink nodded and said, "Okay, let Lieutenant Colonel Chase temporarily act as the battalion commander of the second battalion. You can publish this appointment. You know, Lieutenant Colonel Chase is a good assistant. If there is a suitable candidate in the future, let him return to the regimental headquarters!"

"Okay, Sink!" Stryll nodded. This is the best arrangement.

The German army deployed a regiment of heavy troops in Wigherr, with the support of tanks and 88mm guns. It was not easy to take down here. Colonel Sink wanted to contact Captain E-Lian Winters in Uden to prepare for a two-face attack on the Germans.

"Colonel Sink wants us to attack Weigher's German army! Form a two-sided attack on them!" Winters walked into the company's headquarters and looked at Nixon helplessly, "He obviously didn't take into account our situation. If the German army retreats under the attack of the regimental headquarters, the first one to occupy is Yu Deng. What can we do to stop the Germans?

"He was completely confused by the death of Major Horton!" Nixon shrugged his shoulders, "But what can we do? Dick, complaining doesn't work! Let's get ready."

"Okay!" Winters nodded helplessly.

The order was soon conveyed to the whole E Company, which surprised and helpless many brothers. They managed to repel a German attack and forced them to retreat to Wigher. In particular, I was shocked to see that Wigherr was bombarded by German tanks, and the planes were constantly bombed. The fire was soaring to the sky, and it looked like hell. What would it be like if the German army attacked Yu Deng? They don't dare to think about it, and even they are constantly thanking God.

"Sergeant, is this true?" Sergei couldn't help muttering that he couldn't help complaining.

Sergeant Muck said to Sergei while packing up his equipment: "Yes, believe in your brothers around you, Sergei, if we want to live."

"Yes, let's teach the Germans a lesson!" Sergeant Galanz passed by them and then greeted the brothers in the platoon loudly. The soldiers of Company E began to set out from Yuden.

"Hilig!" Winters stopped Lieutenant Hailige.

"Captain Winters!" Hellig was about to step into the jeep when he stopped and looked at Winters.

Winters coughed and said, "Well, we have to be guarded here, so you stay with a row of brothers, which is also our way out!"

"Okay, Captain Winters!" Hai Lige nodded.

This is a measure that Winters can't do. After all, there are not many people left in a row now, and most of them are recruits. All the veterans followed Parks to participate in the reconnaissance operation. This is irrelevant to the overall situation. Lieutenant Hellig obeyed the order and stayed. He and a row of brothers walked outside the town to see Winters and the other brothers of Company E march towards Wigher.

At this time, the weather gradually turned cloudy, and a gust of wind blew over, making the brothers walking on the road feel a chill. When they were still four miles away from Wigher, they heard an explosion from there. Obviously, the other companies of the 506th Regiment caught fire with Weigherr's German army.

"Dick, I think we're going to speed up the march!" Nixon said to Winters, "In this way, we can attack the German army as soon as possible."

"Maybe we can wait!" Winters suddenly stopped, then raised his telescope and looked forward.

"Nick, did you hear that? What kind of gun is this?

"105mm light howitzer, and 155 heavy howitzer!" Nixon listened for a while, "And the 75mm tank gun of the Sherman tank. God, this time the Allies have lost their old capital!"

"And, Nick!" Winters pointed to the sky, and the roar of the plane came from the sky. Obviously, it was different from the German plane, "P-51 anti-tank aircraft. The Germans are doomed this time. I think if we choose to attack at this time, it is obviously not a wise way, and the Germans will definitely retreat. They have only two roads, one is the original way, and the other is the one we take. They can turn around and occupy Yuden, and then they can fight with us again!"

"Well, you mean--" Nixon looked at Winters, "I knew you would definitely not follow Colonel Sink's orders by this rule. All right, tell me what you're going to do."

"We ambush them here!" Winters smiled and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "If we face the collapse of the German army head-on, then they need to run for their lives. They must fight with us to the death. We will suffer heavy losses, so ambush is the best way!"

Nixon was a little stunned and thought it was a very good way.

"I agree," Nixon raised a finger and smiled. "Fuck him on both sides, we have to have a little surname!"

"Coloe Sink won't like it!" Winters smiled. Then he also said to Nixon, "Damn it!"

Wentes was right. The Germans were hit hard by the Allies in Wigher. The 101st Division sent all the weapons resources that could be used, because this road is too important. With the P-51 aircraft, Sherman tanks, and 105mm and 155mm howitzers, the German defenses quickly collapsed.

"Woo-" The P-51 plane made a sad roar in the air. Then drop the bomb at a very low altitude. Then in a huge explosion, the German tanks caught fire.

German tanks were not spared under the attack of aircraft, and the troops of the three German battalions suffered heavy losses under the attack of these heavy weapons, and nearly half of the Germans surrendered. The 506th Regiment occupied Wigherr without much effort, but there was a nearly one battalion of German remnants who escaped from Wigher.

"Damn it, where is Winters' E company?" Colonel Sink couldn't help frowning when he entered Wigher. Company E did not come to attack from Yuden as he ordered.

"Sink, after all, the Germans still have a battalion. Maybe Winters hasn't arrived yet, but I'm a little worried about him now. The Germans retreated from the one in Yuden, and they will catch up head-on. We must catch up with the Germans!" Lieutenant Colonel Stryer was a little worried and said, "The second battalion has lost the F battalion, and the E company can't have any more problems. I hope they can stand it until our assistance.

"What you said makes a lot of sense!" Colonel Sink raised his hand and said, "If they can hold on for half an hour, we can reach it and annihilate this German. But for the Germans who are eager to escape, the first half hour of attack must be crazy! Stryll, let's move quickly! We can't afford to lose!"

Half an hour is indeed the most difficult. The Germans retreated from Wigherr to Yuden, as Winters expected. They ran all the way. Although they did not carry heavy weapons, if they hit them, they would definitely hit them with all their strength.

The Germans marched quickly on the road. The regiment was commanded by a colonel named Germint. He was hit hard in Wigherr, and then he realized that he had made a mistake in judgment. The main force of the U.S. military was in Wigherr, so Yuden must have only a small group of troops. It was based on this judgment that he retreated to Yuden, and he had no choice but to go from the headquarters of Arham. In the order given by Lieutenant General Situ Deng himself, he must cut off the road unconditionally, even one day is enough.

One day, obviously, it has been half a day now. I was hit hard in Wegherr, but there is at least one battalion, which can be used to stay in this town for another day. Although he didn't know what effect a day's persistence would have on the German army. But as a SS commander, he still carried out his orders unswervingly and faithfully.

The German army walking ahead was a machine gunner. While he was still enjoying victory in Wigherr, he was suddenly slaughtered by the Americans. He looked panicked and ran to the front. His rifle leaned over his shoulder, and his whole body looked decadent and helpless.

"Ban--" As I passed the slope of a section of the forest, a crisp gunshot came out of the forest.

The German soldier walking in front of him suddenly covered his neck and knelt on his knees. Blood gushed out one after another. His dying eyes wanted to struggle, but his eyes were more and more prominent. Finally, his eyes were dark, and his whole body fell to the ground.

"Fire!" Winters gave the order decisively.

Mortar shells exploded in the German army, and the sound of machine guns seemed to tear the air, making people unable to breathe oxygen, and the suppressed heart seemed to jump out of their hearts. The Germans were hit hard, but they didn't know where the enemy was.

This makes the Germans, who are already low in morale, even more at a loss. They lay on the ground quickly and fired guns randomly into the forest, but they couldn't hit anything.

"Coloon, what should we do?" A lieutenant crawled over and shouted at Colonel Germint. He looked flustered and his voice trembled.

"Poo!" With a sound, the lieutenant was shot in the head, and the bullet pierced his helmet, splashing blood on his head.

The death of the lieutenant obviously crushed Colonel Germint's last confidence. He suddenly shouted, "Put down our weapons and surrender!"
