The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Qin Chuan heard about this situation from Colonel Slaine.

"Something's wrong!" Colonel Slain said: "The 275th Infantry Division is entangled by the enemy and cannot escape!"

"Tangled by the enemy?" Qin Chuan was a little surprised.

The troops arranged by the German army to maintain contact with the US military in the rear are all troops with strong combat effectiveness and rich experience, so that they can advance and retreat freely on the battlefield.

But now the 275th Infantry Division will actually be entangled by the enemy and unable to escape... This may disrupt the entire retreat of the German army.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain said: "It is said that they encountered a special force. Although they wore American military uniforms, they had Asian faces."

Qin Chuan couldn't help but say "oh".

"You know this unit?" Colonel Slain asked.

"No, I don't know!" Qin Chuan replied.

Qin Chuan was lying. During World War II, the US military had a famous Japanese unit. Qin Chuan could even remember the unit's number... the 442nd Infantry Regiment.

Before the war between the United States and Japan, there were many Japanese living in the United States, and even then the first generation of Japanese had given birth to children and grown up.

After the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States and Japan became enemies, and some of the Japanese living in the United States were imprisoned in concentration camps.

At this time, they came to two extremes: the first generation of Japanese still thought about Japan, so they were unwilling to become enemies of Japan. But the second generation grew up in the United States. They already see themselves as Americans, so they hope to join the US military and fight for the US military to show their loyalty and rescue their relatives who are imprisoned in concentration camps.

Not to mention the conflict between the first generation and the second generation. The first generation even beat their children with belts to prevent them from joining the army.

But none of this could stop the second generation from wanting to regain freedom and dignity. They even went on a hunger strike to show their determination.

From this, we can also see that the real fear is actually the fusion of cultures... Using planes and cannons against the enemy may frighten some of them, but there are always some people who are not afraid of death and they will never give in.

However, if they are brainwashed and educated with a certain culture from childhood, it will make them think that this is the motherland and it is natural to contribute to her.

This is also one of the reasons why Japanese education was forcibly implemented in China when Japan invaded China.

In the end, the U.S. military was moved by the spirit of these second generations, and they first formed an infantry battalion with the mentality of giving it a try.

Originally, the U.S. military did not have much hope for this infantry battalion because they were short in stature and were still distrusted by the Japanese. The military even had the mentality of disbanding them at any time.

Unexpectedly, not long after they were sent to the battlefield, they discovered that this Japanese troop had the courage to fight and kill and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats.

Soon, this unit expanded to a regiment, the 442nd Infantry Regiment.

"We cannot provide reinforcements to the 275th Infantry Division!" Colonel Slain said: "Because if we do this, we may not be able to reach the next line of defense before dawn!"

Colonel Slain was talking about tanks.

In fact, tanks are often the slowest on the battlefield. Regardless of how many kilometers per hour it travels, the roads are full of potholes that tanks cannot pass and bridges that cannot bear the weight of tanks.

"Do they have tanks?" Qin Chuan asked.

"There are more than fifty!" Colonel Slain replied: "They should be sent by the Americans to rescue the besieged people to reinforce them!"

Then Colonel Slain said: "You know, Americans often let their tanks drive ahead, so that we can easily destroy these tanks with rocket launchers. But this unit with Asian faces is different. They It's in front of the tank!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan understood what the problem was.

The range of the rocket launcher is only more than a hundred meters. If it is played like the US military, this will not be a problem. The German soldiers have enough time to aim and destroy the US tanks, even in the dark.

But like the way the Japanese troops fought... the soldiers charged in front of the tanks, which instantly rendered the rocket launchers useless, because when the rocket launchers could hit the US tanks, the Japanese soldiers' grenades could be thrown into the German soldiers' positions. .

In addition, Japanese soldiers can dance with swords a few times and are brave and fierce, so they are very suitable for close combat and hand-to-hand combat with the enemy at night, so the German 275th Infantry Division was somewhat unable to hold on.

"Did the general ask our regiment to reinforce the 275th Infantry Division?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No, it's the marshal's order!" Colonel Slain said: "He hopes that the ME63 equipped by our regiment can function."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Qin Chuan said.

The 1st Infantry Regiment is indeed the best choice. This is not only because of the ME63 in the hands of the 1st Infantry Regiment, but also because it is an infantry regiment... The infantry regiment is not as slow as tanks. They only need a few dozen to run. Fast.

In other words, they have time to complete the support mission and then rush to the second line of defense before dawn.

In the back compartment of the moving car, Colonel Sline illuminated the map with a flashlight covered with black cloth and said: "Our mission is to cover the 275th Infantry Division and break away from the enemy..."

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan interrupted Colonel Slain: "Our mission is to annihilate this regiment!"

"Destroy this regiment?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said, "Annihilate this regiment."

"Why?" Colonel Slain asked.

"Because...if we don't annihilate them, we might get entangled!" Qin Chuan replied: "Then we will need other troops to rescue us!"

"Hmm!" Colonel Slaine raised his eyebrows.

Although this reason makes sense, it is far-fetched.

Because with the strength of the 1st Infantry Regiment, it is not difficult to get rid of the pursuers behind them, especially at this time, it is still dark... For example, they can bury mines behind them, or blow up a highway bridge.

On the contrary, if they annihilate this regiment, it is more likely to surround the enemy again, and then reinforcements will come to reinforce, and then they will fall into a situation of repeated entanglement.

"More importantly..." Qin Chuan continued, "Sooner or later, the Americans will find out why we retreat dozens of kilometers every day, and one day they will get impatient."

"That's right!" Colonel Slaine said, "They are a little impatient tonight!"

"So!" Qin Chuan took out a piece of bread from his backpack, chewed it and said, "Even if we get rid of this unit tonight, they will still become a threat to us one day. And it will be a big threat... Why not take advantage of tonight, when their mission is to rescue people, to defeat them without leaving any trouble?"

Colonel Slaine nodded in agreement. This is indeed an opportunity.
