Attack in the dark
At night, German soldiers were resting on the roadside. Although the ambush today had little impact on the German soldiers, it also taught the German soldiers a good lesson, that is, the enemy should not underestimate the enemy again. It is because of the pride of the German soldiers that the enemy almost successfully wiped out the German army's face.
But after all, the dinner for one night was MMD mashed potatoes and tomato sauce.
Slater remembered the pile of corpses. After the last French ambush, the German soldiers learned a lot. Although the safety factor has indeed increased a lot, the speed of the march has also been reduced a lot. If it was a thousand miles a day before the ambush, then the speed of the current speed is not much different from the speed of the old man walking. The lovely German battalion commander Kuwait seemed a little nervous after being ambushed last time and asked the tanks and infantry to maintain combat formation from time to time. As a result, it can be imagined that the marching speed of the German soldiers not only dropped a lot, but also had very few trips every day. It is impossible for individuals to change the combat formation when moving forward in KO.
He is really right. How could a German battalion attract so many ambushes from Allied troops? Don’t you deal with the German main armored division and keep staring at the German motorized infantry division?
Today is January 13, and the battle against Natv has been two days. To talk about the battle, the German army has almost never had direct contact with other enemies except for that counter-ambush.
The German army encountered no obstacles along the way, but when the German soldiers arrived at the outer woods of a small town, the situation changed. The Germans were resting on the spot as usual, but when the sentries had not fully arrived at their posts, a lot of people emerged from somewhere.
Well, Stella is sure that he is not wrong, a bunch of Arab cavalry!
God, it is 1966 now, are there cavalry on the battlefield? Stella quickly realized that this was the cavalry of Saudi Arabia, which was joined by the United States-led Allied forces!
They waved their swords. Although they looked at the same level as the German weapons, the German soldiers were unsuspecting because of their sudden appearance. As a result, it can be imagined that the formation of the German soldiers was completely dispersed. Slater's D Company was in a relatively back position, and when the troops of the 2nd Battalion in front were fighting with Natv's cavalry, the German soldiers had enough time to adjust their formation, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Slater.
Slater quickly asked the soldiers to launch a counterattack on the spot, but the situation ahead was too chaotic. After Slater raised his gun, he found that he could not shoot at all because the cavalry had dispersed the entire 2nd battalion and the German soldiers' left-wing 3rd battalion. Now the German 1st battalion is already surrounded. Looking at the enemy, many German soldiers are mixed with their own people. Perhaps all soldiers except snipers cannot shoot and kill the cavalry in such a chaotic situation.
"All 1st Battalion is concerned! Company A and B and E provide support to the 3rd Battalion on the left wing. There is no need to rush over to fight, but just pull out the defense line to keep a distance from the cavalry! Company D and G, I ask you to move forward quickly! Block the Natfu cavalry who invades from the 2nd Battalion! Company C and Company F."
While the German barracks were about to be surrounded, the soldiers' dear battalion commander finally did it. After receiving the order, Slater did not dare to neglect and quickly approached the G Company's people. Seeing the killing of the 2nd Battalion, Slater did not know whether he could successfully block the enemy. When the German army reached the combat position, the people of the 2nd Battalion had no ability to resist at all. They saw their own people coming and ran towards the defense line here desperately. It cannot be said that they were retreating. To be precise, they should have fled. Slater didn't know why he was ambushed twice in just 23 days!? Is this luck so good? Last time it was an artillery position and this time it was a cavalry? Last time they had poor mobility. The German army fought a successful counter-ambush battle with the support of tanks, but this time it was a one.
The German division commander had just transferred all the tanks away, and the German army was raided by highly mobile cavalry. Seeing that the 2nd and 3rd battalions were defeated, it would be very difficult for the German soldiers to organize a counterattack next.
The cavalry chased the defeated troops of the 2nd Battalion and rushed towards De at an extremely fast speed.
Countdown to 3 seconds one.
"Fire!" Slater shouted loudly, and gunfire came up. At such a distance, the German soldiers successfully destroyed the enemy's first three platoons of troops. Their charges sometimes became the advantage of the German soldiers, that is, they could not accurately attack the German soldiers in the rapid charge.
.
But it is certain that the German army must retreat a little now, otherwise the enemy's cavalry will rush into the German formation in a very short time, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the German army.
"First row is quickly backwards! Prepare the second row, wait for the first row to be in place and quickly backwards! Three rows in turn!"
Slater asked the soldiers to retreat in layers and try to maintain a distance from the cavalry. The effect was pretty good at the beginning. The German soldiers destroyed batches of enemies. But the opponents were cavalry after all, and this tactic would not delay them for long. They rushed into the formation of the German soldiers' D and G companies.
"For the honor of the empire! For the will of the baron! Kill!"
Slater shouted words to improve morale. This sentence was very effective. The morale of the soldiers was greatly improved. They couldn't help but say something similar to "For the Baron!"! For freedom!" and so on. They all became crazy war tigers and rushed into Natv's cavalry team to fight with them. Slater rushed in the front row, picked up a grenade, and threw one into the enemy's formation. With an explosion, 45 cavalry flew in all directions.
Many soldiers followed Slater's method to throw grenades, and indeed exploded a lot. When the German soldiers collided with the enemy, it also indicates that the fierce hand-to-hand combat was launched again.
A cavalry came towards Slater. Slater inserted the bayonet hard into his horse. Before he could cut Slater, he was already being brought to his side by the horse. Slater then jumped quickly. Before he got off the horse's back, Slater stabbed the bayonet into his head. The red blood burst out with white brain and splashed Slater's whole body. At this time, there were more and more enemies around him. Suddenly, some enemies swung their swords behind Slater.
"Sir!" A soldier rushed Slater to Slater and turned to look. He saw that the soldier's head had been cut by the other party with a knife! Slater was furious in his heart! He picked up the big sword of the enemy he had just killed and rushed towards him. When he saw Slater rushed towards him, he waved his sword to kill Slater and blocked the attack. However, the shock from his hands was numb, and Slater's hands were numb. He endured the severe pain and swung the knife horizontally, cutting off the front foot of the man's horse. The horse did not turn around like the previous one. Because the front foot was broken, he took the man heavily and fell down. Only then did Slater look at the man and look at the man's medal. The military rank should be
Slater almost didn't dare to neglect and rushed towards him quickly. He reacted quickly, and turned around and kicked his stomach. The severe pain from the abdomen made Slater unable to continue to maintain his impulse and fell to the ground. He wanted Slater to slash with a knife. Slater blocked his attack with a knife, but the strength of this guy was definitely not blowing, it was too scary, and his hands were so painful. The paralysis of his hands made Slater almost have no strength to launch a counterattack immediately. Slater rolled on the spot and stood up. He was stunned when he saw Slater seemed to be nothing, and then attacked Slater again. Slater fell to the side and couldn't kill Slater. Slater quickly slashed at him with a knife, "Wow" a minute.
Blood was splattered everywhere, but the guy was not dead. He turned around and looked at Slater with painful eyes. The pain was filled with hatred, and it seemed that he would not stop until he tore Slater into pieces.
He jumped at Slater and kicked Slater hard and kicked Slater. He slashed with a knife again. Slater might as well hold the knife upright. His chest was so good that he could stab the knife into his chest. His blood splattered Slater's face. Slater pushed his body away with difficulty, watching his subordinates falling down one by one like being massacred.
Suddenly, Slater felt a burst of pain behind his back. Slater knew that someone had given him a knife behind his back. Slater endured the severe pain and turned around. You know, when a person killed red eyes, he had huge lethality. At this time, Slater was such a person. Maybe because the horse was running, he killed the horse's abdomen, donating blood to stir up some intestines, stomach, etc., and the internal organs fell all over the ground. The man fell off the horse's back. Seeing that Slater's face was full of blood, he couldn't help but jump. Before he could react, Slater stabbed into his abdomen with a knife, and then pulled it horizontally. He was almost cut into two pieces by Slater. The internal organs fell with the sound and splashed everywhere. There was even a thorn in Slater's hand. But now Slater only felt less and less strength. I don't know if it was because the blood flowed on his back that caused him to have shock symptoms.
Gradually, Slater felt very tired. When he got down, he could only vaguely hear someone calling Chief.
The chief's first.
Slater knew it was his subordinate's voice
"Srat! Srat! One. Harvey!"
In a vague sense, Slater heard a familiar voice calling Slater's name. Who is it? Where is Slater? Is Slater dead? Slater opened his eyes tiredly and saw a familiar and squinting face.
"Harvey, are you okay, Harvey?" Dorlinger looked at Slater nervously.
"Haha, I'm not a yellow girl, so why are I so delicate? It's okay, where is this?" Only then did Slater have time to take a closer look at the environment he was in, one by one.
White.
"This is a battlefield hospital, haha, I knew you were very lucky and didn't die that easily! Haha." Seeing that Slater was fine, Dorlinger let out his exaggerated sign laughter again.
"Hey hey hey, Slater said Dowlinger, I was scared to death by you even if I wasn't beaten to death! Why was Slater in the field hospital? What's wrong with the troops?"
At this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out, and Slater was happy when he saw it. The boys were all his subordinates.
"Sir, are you okay? We just say that you will not be able to sacrifice your life so easily." The speaker was Slater's messenger Arek. This kid is so smart. The last time the German soldiers were ambushed by Natv's artillery, he urgently contacted the tank. Later, there were tanks coming to support and the enemy's infantry quickly defeated.
"You boy, haha, how could I die if you don't even have you?" Slater smiled and looked behind him:! Crane, Vinst, and Putkolin, haha, why are you here? Why don't you continue to advance with the troops?" Although Slater was very happy with their appearance, he wondered even more why they appeared here. After all, the troops are advancing very quickly now.
"because"
"Let me say that after the last ambush, the superiors decided to transfer your entire 807th Infantry Regiment to the rear for a while, and then move to the front line to continue advancing." Doringer snatched Arik's words: "You know, last time you were so annoyed that you were raided by the enemy's cavalry. The 112 brothers of the D Company were fighting with only 57 left, and their combat effectiveness dropped sharply, so the superiors decided to let you rest for a while for a while. Don't think too much, the superiors still attach great importance to you."
It can be seen that Dolinger didn't want Slater to have any negative thoughts about the decision of his superiors, so he said so. However, at this time, Slater really didn't care whether he was transferred to the rear, because Slater heard the news that Slater was heartbroken than the news of being transferred to the rear. The German soldiers in the D company were beaten to only 57 left, and half of his brothers were killed in one battle.
"But to be honest, you kid is really powerful. He actually fought hand-to-hand combat with the enemy cavalry. But he is really powerful. He actually dragged the enemy cavalry for more than 3 hours. When our tank troops arrived, your regiment was almost completely wiped out. When I arrived, you were lying among the pile of corpses. Haha, you kid took down the local cavalry lieutenant colonel haha."
After hearing Dollinger's words, Slater was still very glad that his subordinates could restrain the enemy cavalry for more than three hours, and looked at his subordinates around him and felt honor for them.
"By the way, Harvey, see what's next to your pillow." Dolinger looked at Slater with a gentle look at him: "The commanders have come when you were unconscious. They said that the courage you showed in the battle and the honor of an imperial soldier are unnecessary, so you are specially awarded the Iron Cross for this reward and the Second-Class Soldier Medal to all of you D's company."
"Ah, yes, it turns out that this thing was pushing my head and making me not sleep well." Slater deliberately joked that he wanted to forget the brothers who died in battle, but at this time Slater suddenly remembered a very important thing ":Dolinger, go out with me, I must tell you some things.
When Dolinger saw Slater's face was heavy, he felt strange and followed Slater out of the hospital. "What's wrong with Harvey?"
"Dollinger, you have known me for 6 years, right? So I trust you very much now. Now I have to tell you that I think there must be spies in our army!"
"What? Why do you say that?"
"Don't you find it strange? Our troops were attacked repeatedly and repeatedly. At the beginning, I thought it was because we were so lucky. But think about it, why did the enemy troops who attacked or ambushed us completely restrain our artillery or cavalry in their arms? Why did the enemy cavalry rushed out as soon as the tank troops left?"
"Well, your guess is not completely unreasonable. From your two ambushes, you can see that if you were to be accused of artillery and infantry, you were a coincidence that the second cavalry raid was a bit too coincidental."
Dolinger said thoughtfully, "Because our other forces have been raided twice by the enemy's mechanical forces, and each time it appears when we are just about to rest."
"Uh, someone has done something internally?" Slater didn't know what kind of changes would happen to the battlefield situation in the future with his guesses | "No matter what, we just need to know about this now. Don't go out. If you don't get a crime of disturbing the morale of the army before the time comes, it would be a big deal."
"Of course, this matter is of great importance. Harvey, I will go to Jacks to tell him about the situation. You have a good rest. In two days, the recruits from your troops will be replenished and you will go to the front line. "Be careful of everything, I'll leave first."
"Okay, so are you." Slater smiled and walked back.
The next day at 2 pm
The recruits arrived as scheduled, and the number of people increased to 120 this time. Haha, there was not much increase, so 8 were added. Slater looked at the group of recruits and couldn't help but smile: "You are the pride of the empire, you are the heroes of the empire! Now you are about to follow your predecessors to the hot front line! You will experience the test of life and death! We have experienced two ambushed by the enemy! Many comrades fell by our side! But for the honor of the empire and the freedom and strength of the empire, charge!"
Slater spoke loudly to the recruits these words that could improve morale. When the veterans heard Slater's words, they couldn't help but lower their heads. Slater knew that because those words brought up their sad meetings, the bombardment of artillery formations and the massacre of cavalry caused the German army to lose many comrades.
Chapter completed!
