Chapter 251 Unification on
On December 25, after the German bombing last night, the German commander Feng? General Mandofil ordered General Lütvitz, the commander of the 47th Army, to launch an attack. Although they knew that they did not have enough strength to repel the 101st Airborne Division, they still wanted to push the defense line further forward with last night's bombing and finally drive the U.S. troops out of Bastogne.
Major Trisher was once again supplemented by personnel. They suffered huge losses in the operation that was infiltrated by the U.S. military, and the materials and ammunition were blown up by the U.S. military and looted. Their vitality was seriously damaged, so that they could only watch the U.S. military operations for a long time, and they could only huddle on the defense line and dare not take the initiative to attack, that is, It is to send a patrol, just a strict patrol near the defense line to prevent another similar infiltration by the Americans.
The day before Christmas Eve, they added two companies and formed a reinforcement company. Although these two companies were reassembled by the German troops who were disabled by the front-line troops, there were many veterans who fought many times, much better than the recruits. Supplies and ammunition have been replenished again, but they still lack cannons. Since the cannons were destroyed by the U.S. military, they have never been replenished in time. The German army is now in a passive state, and many cannons have been destroyed by the U.S. military and cannot be replenished. But they have three No. 4 tanks to use. But Major Trisher had no confidence in this attack.
When Gordon was making coffee on the defensive line, the Germans were already ready to attack. A faint roar came from the woods opposite, and the German tanks gradually showed their ferocious faces. The turret points directly to the defense line of Company E. But they didn't act immediately. Major Trisher seemed to be very cautious, and he was no longer blindly optimistic. He can't feel crowded because of his large number of people. He stood behind the tank's turret and observed the movement of the U.S. defense line with a telescope.
"God, the German army has dispatched so many people this time. It seems that we are going to be busy again!" Spina ran and said to the Luo medical officer beside him, "Youjin, you go to the left. I'm on the right. Don't be hit by two medical guards by the Germans. The brothers will be miserable!"
"Okay!" Medical Officer Luo nodded and ran towards Gordon.
Sergeant Li Pu kept running in the woods and reminded his brothers: "Don't shoot, don't be fooled, don't expose your position!" He was like a flustered fox running and chased by a tiger. This was what Gordon said to him after the battle, but Li Pu couldn't agree with him at all. He just said that he was a little impatient.
"Don't shoot, everyone stand by!" At this time, there were people shouting loudly on the defense line, and the commanders and non-commissioned officers of each platoon were restraining their brothers.
"Hey, Li Pu, what are we going to use to beat those iron guys?" Gernelly shouted at him, "Have we run out of can opener? God, I don't want to rush to that damn thing with explosives!"
"Brothers, we use explosives!" Captain Parks appeared on the defensive line, and he kept reminding him loudly. Then he saw Li Pu, "Li Pu, gather the non-commissioned officers and let them prepare to stick the bomb."
"Okay, sir!" Li Pu quickly greeted the non-commissioned officers who were the squad leader to the position.
"Luz, contact the battalion immediately. I don't care what I can do. Get some oil for the shaft. The sooner the better! In addition, ask Lieutenant Welsh to send some explosives, TNT, and fuse. Yes, hurry up!" Parks ordered quickly, and then he saw the non-commissioned officers gathering towards him quickly.
"Well, guys, do you understand what's wrong with the bomb?" Captain Parks asked loudly as soon as they met, "Li Pu, do you know?"
"No, I don't know!" Li Pu shook his head.
"Okay, watch me demonstrate it!" Captain Parks nodded. At this time, someone used a jeep to bring barrels of oil and TNT explosives sent by Wales. Parks took off his socks, then loaded the explosives piece by piece, immersed the socks full of explosives in the oil, and then loaded them with fuses.
"Look, this thing is still stuck where it is! With this track to blow up German tanks, it was the best weapon at that time, at least at this stage!" Parks clapped his hand and said, "This is what has been said in the battlefield manual. Look, knowledge changes fate!"
"Oh, this is really funny!" Da Niu Lan Daman smiled, and then began to take off his socks and put explosives in it.
"Hurry up, guys, the German army will not give us enough preparation time. I ask every platoon and class to prepare these things, and then we wait for the German tanks!" Parks clapped his hands and said, "Go get ready, guys!" As soon as he finished his words, a shell suddenly shot out of the German tank.
"Boom!" With a sound, a big hole was blown up around them. Obviously, the German army had found the place where the crowd gathered.
"Hidden, hurry up, go back to your own bunker!" Parks lay on the ground and shouted, "Don't forget to donate your socks."
German tanks trembled in the roar and began to drive towards the defense line of Company E. Behind the tank, there are two companies of German troops advancing with the tank.
"Guys, don't get excited. When the tank is closer, we'll use sticky bombs!" Daniu Landman clung to the observation mouth of the bunker and loudly reminded every brother in the bunker, "Mellott, cover me when I'm still bomb!" As Daniu Landorman spoke, he stared at the tank that was coming towards his bunker.
"Sergeant, will the tank crush us?" Melot was a little flustered.
"No, don't worry about this. I'll make him uncomfortable!" Landorman said that the tank had slowly entered, and stopped, turning the turret, and the muzzle was at Landorman's bunker.
"Big cow!" Sergeant Martin on the other side saw all this at the bunker observation and couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Boom!" The body of the tank trembled and fired a shot at Landorman's bunker, blowing up the top cover of the bunker. The wood fell one after another. Landorman scolded, damn it, and then the whole person rolled out. He pulled a meriot, and the two quickly climbed out of the bunker. If the tank was firing a few shots at the bunker, then They have to be finished. If it's just an ordinary bunker, the first shot is enough to kill the two.
"Mellott, go to Sergeant Martin's bunker!" Daniu Landman shouted at Melriot and ran quickly towards the tank. Martin saw again that the muzzle of the tank was turning with Landman.
"God, damn it!" Martin scolded, quickly climbed out of the bunker and ran towards the tank. He threw his grenade at the tank. Boom! It exploded in front of the tank.
The German tanks were obviously aware of Martin's existence. The driver in it decided to give up Landoman, and the muzzle shone on Martin. At this time, Landorman had thrown the sticky bomb that ignited the fuse at the track of the tank.
"Bang!" With a sound, the track of the German tank was glued.
"Boom!" At the same time, the tank fired, but because it was too hasty, the shell did not hit, but the air wave overturned Martin to the ground, and his buttocks fell to the ground so hard that he could not move.
"Damn it!" Martin scolded. When he looked up, he was afraid to find that the German tank had adjusted the muzzle this time and aimed it directly at him. He couldn't help but be stunned. Just as he was about to scold, he heard a loud noise.
The sticky bomb exploded, the track of the tank was blown up, and the tank suddenly set back and did not move in place. The German army didn't care about bombarding Martin. A driver opened the top cover of the turret and tried to get out, but the bull that was rushed up climbed up to the roof of the car, hit the head with one shot, fell down, and then the bull threw a grenade inside!
The dull explosion came from inside the tank, and there were several screams of the German army. Daniu Landowman didn't care much. He ran to Martin, helped him up and checked him.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, awesome! It's just a pain in my butt!" Martin barely stood up. Da Niu helped him move quickly towards the bunker. The Germans behind the tank found them and began to shoot at them. The bullets flew over their heads and beside them, making the branches keep splashing.
"Oh, God!" When Daniel dragged Martin down, his ass hit the ground again and couldn't help shouting again, "Da Niu, damn it, do you want to murder me? Next time you dare to do something like that, I will be expected to save you again!"
"Okay, okay, but I have to say hello to the German first!" Da Niu said, grabbed the rifle, and then stared at the defense line. The Germans had already attacked with the tank.
I heard a "boom" again, and someone shouted, "I blew it up, tank, I blew up the tank!" Obviously, another German tank was blown up by a sticky bomb, and the remaining one began to push back. He tried to pull away from the defense line of Company E and then shot at a long distance.
But as soon as the tank retreated, the German attacking infantry was at a loss. When they hesitated whether to retreat with the tank, Company E's counterattack began. Intensive shooting swept through the German attacking infantry like a rainstorm. The biggest advantage of the Parks bunker is that the attacking side can't escape under the blow of crossfire.
The German attack was very unsuccessful. They lost two No. 4 tanks, and the infantry of the two companies suffered more than 30 casualties. Eleven people died. This made Major Trisher more cautious. He also knew that the defense line of the U.S. military, which had not been captured by two battalions and seven or eight Tigers and No. 4 tanks, could not be broken by himself.
But the order he got was to attack until he knew to repel the U.S. military!
