Eight hundred and fifty-six.(2/3)
.

.
.
.
Balls of flames burned in the air, and planes emitting black smoke fell from the air.
.
.
.
.
.
When the war begins, this is the destined fate of all soldiers.

8:10, the time was exactly the same as when the attack was launched yesterday. The German armed SS Brunsburg Armored Division finally re-entered the battle.
The same time, but it is a completely different offensive method.
.
.
.
.
.
Brigadier General Kakka and his 37th Brigade were surprised to find the German army that was completely different yesterday.
.
.
.
.
.
The German army had sufficient open battlefields, their tanks roared terrifyingly, and arrogantly launched the most fierce charge forward.
Brigadier Kakka recorded this battle in detail in his post-war memoir:
"............ In less than half an hour, bad news has been continuously transmitted to my command center. The German attack made all of us feel suffocated... A battalion commanded by Major Wilson suffered a devastating blow in this half hour. Just yesterday, he resisted the enemy's attacks for more than three times... It was not until now that I realized that the German army actually didn't care about how many results they achieved yesterday. All they wanted was a full
Open offensive position. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Marshal Guderian never cared about temporary victory or failure. He wanted the final victory of the entire war, but I foolishly fell into the trap he set.
.
.
.
.
.
However, after the war I had a very selfish idea, and I was not disappointed at all by this failure, because standing opposite me were the two most outstanding German gods of war: Marshal Ernst Alexander von Breme and Marshal Heinz William Guderian. I believe that not many officers in this world are lucky enough to act as opponents of two German gods of war at the same time.

.
.
I can proudly tell my children that I have experienced such honors before.

However, the situation on that day was indeed extremely bad. Our position was constantly lost under the assault of the German armored forces. A large number of casualties made me use up all the reserves in my hands. Lieutenant General Carson seemed helpless to do anything about this. The six French divisions launched an attack at the same time with the German army. Lieutenant General Carson also had few troops to use.

It is surprising that the situation in France is changing so quickly. According to what I know, in every city of France, as long as US troops are stationed, they are attacked by the French without exception. What I can be sure is that we are losing this country, and that this will be a permanent loss. From then on, we will never be able to come to this romantic country again.
.
.
.
.
.
At 10 a.m., my troops were forced to shrink to a very small position, with German armored vehicles everywhere. According to aerial reconnaissance, a large number of German commandos appeared behind us, which meant that our escape route had been completely cut off by the German army.
.
.
.
.
.
This is not the worst news, the worst news is that we are gradually losing air supremacy.
.
.
.
.
.
I know exactly what this means, and it means we can no longer retreat from the air.
.
.
.
.
.
Everyone became desperate, but they could not be blamed because in this battle each of them fulfilled their responsibilities as an American soldier.
