Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 37: Fight (2)

"Hold on, boys, fire in the direction of the flash, just like you did in training."

Babel threw a grenade at a bush not far away, then picked up Thomson and fired a long shot.

His attack was immediately rewarded, and the sergeant sergeant was suddenly surrounded by hot bullets.

"Damn!"

Babel hadn't had time to spit at the ground as usual, and he clearly felt a bullet flying over his temples just now.

The shrub on the top of the head was as short as a sweep by a chainsaw, and the shattered branches and shattered leaves like a shrapnel hurt the neck.

At that moment, Babel reached the limit of his physical fitness. The strict and cruel training in the past also had an effect at that time. The large and excessively strong body made a conjoined athlete. action.

Sergeant Babel, holding his submachine gun, rolled over the ground at an alarming speed, and his comrades squatting in a foxhole five meters away beside him only felt a huge black shadow passing by, then followed. Planted in a natural ditch.

The sergeant's wonderful personal performance of tactical moves made all the audience applaud.

"Damn it, Babel, why are you jumping in?"

The aborigines in the ditch apparently did not appreciate the wonderful performance in front of the sergeant, and seemed to be very angry about this invasion of their territory.

"Sorry, sir."

Babel rarely sighed so low, who let the other party be his boss.

"We must retreat now, sir, this is a trap. If we don't retreat, we will all be killed in this dirty bush."

Babel lifted his head and glanced out of the ditch. The edge of the ditch suddenly lifted a few dust, and the sergeant quickly retracted his head.

"Sir, we are all exposed to the enemy's firepower, so we will be finished in the future."

Babel said loudly.

"You don't need to remind me this, sergeant."

Major Todd glared fiercely at the noisy hunk.

Yes, now everyone knows that he is in an ambush this time.

And in Todd's eyes, this is obviously a well-designed trap, the other party is simply not prepared to give himself a chance to escape.

In this case, Todd tells himself that he must remain calm, and any blind decision may result in the annihilation of the whole army.

However, the situation in front of him made it really difficult for him to calm down. Judging from the gunfire from all directions, this unit was already surrounded, but he was unclear about the opposing forces, firepower distribution, and even the exact location.

The flare shone the snow around the British army, but the Germans were hidden in the dark night, and only the muzzle flame that was constantly flashing proved their existence.

The situation of being passively beaten is the most dangerous for a unit. The unit is already on the verge of collapse. Morale is rapidly decreasing with the increase of casualties. If these soldiers have been strictly trained and have a stronger will than ordinary people, this The battle should have ended long ago.

"We have to retreat, to break through exactly, but the problem is where we want to break through."

Todd poked the map on the back of the soldier.

"We can't even figure out the exact location of the enemy now."

"Sir, we at least know where we are. We are here now. The hills and bushes are nearby. We should break out to the seaside at night. If we are lucky, we should be able to rush out."

Lieutenant Commander Lieutenant Vincent said loudly.

"The Germans have not compressed their encirclement, the night also affects them, and they keep firing flares, indicating that they want to trap us here."

Captain Fent, the commando squadron leader, replaced his Thomson with a new drum.

"Now the front has stabilized and the number of Germans does not seem to be large, otherwise they have rushed over, and now they are still hiding in the dark and shooting, which shows that they are also not sure to eat us in one bite."

"I feel the same way, so we have to break through before the German reinforcements come in."

"The situation can't be worse anymore, sir, please decide quickly, we have lost contact with the headquarters, and now you are the only one who leads us out of this trap."

"We are running out of ammunition, and the front will soon collapse. The soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Hurry up and make a decision, sir."

Faced with the earnest words and eager eyes of his men, Todd lowered his head.

"Well, just do it, we break through the south."

Todd made the decision.

"South? Sir, but the sea is to our west."

Fendt's eyes widened in surprise.

"To the south, I believe we can break through safely only from that direction."

Todd said by pointing at the map.

"The Germans have prepared a trap for us. They will think that we will break through. According to the conventional way of thinking, we will definitely go in the direction that is to the beach. Therefore, the Germans will definitely set up heavy soldiers in the west, you Everyone knows that cutting off the enemy's retreat and then encircling the annihilation is the German's favorite tactic. So...

Tod Meng poked the map.

"If we break through from the west, we will never reach the beach."

"I get it, sir. I will communicate your order immediately."

Vincent said loudly.

"Well, concentrate the troops quietly, don't let the Germans discover our attempts. When the troops are concentrated, we will break out to the south. Fortunately, this is an island. As long as we reach the beach, we are half successful, understand?"

"Understood, sir."

"For the king, for the empire, for the honor of Gormand."

"For the king, for the empire, for honor."

After saluting a military salute to Todd, the two officers quickly rolled out of the ditch and then flexibly burrowed into the bushes next to them. The German machine gun bullets attracted by the movement of this side raised a smoke on the edge of the ditch.

The gunshots of the British counterattacks increased violently, and the commando's only two 50mm mortars also started their first and last rapid fire.

Five or six fireballs suddenly popped up in the dark German positions. The German headless shooting suddenly became messy.

The two small mortars of the British army had not fired in the previous battle, because they only carried 20 rounds of ammunition, and the weak and unsustainable firepower of these two light mortars was basically what this kind of battle is now. The lack of salaries is not helpful.

More importantly, the German artillery has so far only poured flares into the sky. If the German artillery counterattacked because of the attacks of the two mortars, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The British attack so far has only been from the German light weapons. It is because of this that the commando has been able to resist until now. If the German heavy weapons are provoked, it will really be worthless.

However, the situation is different now, and the British army needs to gather troops scattered in the bushes to prepare to break through.

The Germans' machine guns and rifles fired the soldiers so that those soldiers couldn't even raise their heads. Every maneuver was an adventure.

Many soldiers can only lie on the ground with their submachine guns and shoot blindly at each other. In this case, they cannot gather troops at all.

Todd determined that even if it would trigger an attack by the German artillery, it would temporarily suppress the frontal German firepower, even if it was only ten seconds.

Because if they do not break through now, they will never have the opportunity to rush out.

It was four o'clock in the morning, and it was almost dawn.

If they hadn’t ran to the beach before dawn, it didn’t matter if they were bombarded by the Germans, because they would be hunted by the Germans one by one like this on this **** little island.

Todd never thought of a way to surrender. There was no such concept in his mind. He followed the ancient creed that the King’s death is the highest glory of the British soldiers on the battlefield.

He believed that his men would also resist until the last breath as he did, because they were elites, Gormand, and the most loyal fighters of His Majesty the King.

The German army was really stunned by the sudden explosion. Not only did the shooting become messy, but also the shooting of the flares stopped, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

The German soldiers did not understand what was going on. Except for the positions that were directly attacked, the troops in other directions did not understand where the previous attack came from. Many machine guns even started shooting indiscriminately into the air.

Seeing the flying tracers flying all over the sky, the British soldier smiled for the first time, these stupid German fools.

The German chaos did not last. The Germans were not stupid. They soon discovered the truth, so the flares covered the sky above the British again. The dense and accurate shooting once again ravaged the bush.

Unlike the previous one, some mortar shells were added to the attack, which were affixed to the Rhine Steel Company label.
