Eight hundred.(1/4)
"I hate war, no one hates war more than me. If there was no war, I would rather be a screenwriter. The movies in Hollywood are rubbish, and I would rather write better scripts by myself...."
Commander of the 29th French Infantry Division, Major General Ivino, March 1966.
The war dragged everyone into it, professional soldiers, civilians, a group of children, and a general who was quite a screenwriter.
Major General Ivino and his 29th Infantry Division performed very well in the Second Berlin offensive and defensive battle, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Allied Command.
Although they did not achieve their pre-war goals, their brave dedication was amazing. Especially since the first minute of the battle, Major General Ivino was always fighting at the forefront.
This is very rare for the French.

However, Evino and his French soldiers soon discovered that their opponent had changed.
.
.
.
.
.
No longer those stubborn and troubled German regulars, but, rather, hell, they swear:
They actually saw a group of children.
.
.
.
.
.
Yes, kid! When they saw a military flag marked with a bottle fluttering on the German positions, they initially thought it was a joke made by the Germans during the war. Ivino even had a little strange, how could the Germans, who were always rigorous, make such a joke.
But when a new attack began, they found that they were wrong.
That's a real group of kids!
The childishness on their faces has not yet been removed, but the children have already taken up their weapons and are fighting for Berlin and the entire Germany.
At that moment, General Ivino was completely shocked.
.
.
.
.
.
In the face of Allied air strikes and artillery fire, these German children were so calm. Ivino was sure that he had not used the wrong word: calmness!
They endured the enemy's shelling with their greatest determination, and let the smoke of gunpowder spread around them, they were fixed on the position like rocks.
When the French army began to launch an attack, all the firepower on the position began to erupt at the same time.
It's so scary. Are these people really kids?
All the children of the bottle master were like real soldiers, calmly attacking the group of rushing enemies. The MG machine gun and MP submachine gun cooperated with grenades and flamethrowers to build the most stringent fire net on the position.
When the enemy's armored troops began to attack, the children were not afraid at all. They also had old-fashioned "Leopard Tanks" and "Destroyers" and assault guns. They also supported the entire position with the most tenacious firepower.
After three attacks, Avino returned in vain. The spirit shown by the German children was shocking in addition to being shocking.
"Are the Germans crazy or we crazy?" Ivino wrote in his diary: "We are actually fighting a group of children... I saw a whole row of ours completely trapped in the firefight of the German children's nets, and then they were all finished... The German children were also suffering heavy casualties, but until the moment we were forced to retreat, the gunshots on the positions did not stop... Germany's
The source of troops may be exhausted, no one can know this. But there is one thing that I can be very sure that the whole of Berlin has become a huge war machine, both men and women, or children, and are involved. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . �
Ivino didn't want to see such a war, and French soldiers didn't want to see such a war either.
.
.
.
.
.
Even if the brave soldiers are, once this war is not much related to defending their own country, they will also feel war-weary.
This emotion is spreading among the 29th Infantry Division.
.
.
.
.
.
"Why do we have such a war?" When visiting the wounded, a wounded French soldier asked such a question.
And General Ivino could not answer this question at all.
.
.
.
.
.
Yes, why do we have such a war? What does this war have to do with France? France has maintained good relations with Germany before, especially the frequent economic exchanges between the two countries have greatly driven the living standards of the people.
But now all this has been completely changed.
The war cost Germany a heavy price, and France a heavy price.
The war of the curse, everything that should be cursed. Aveno murmured and cursed in his heart. On such days, he should have taken a sip of fragrant coffee by the warm fire, and then carefully constructed his own script.
However, war completely changed all this.
.
.
.
.
.
"General, don't worry about me, I can still fight. I promise to take up my weapons when the enemy rushed up." Just when the French soldiers asked why they wanted to fight, a child of a wounded bottle master made such a sound.
Unlike the French, they know why they fight and what they fight for.
There is nothing more proud of than fighting for the freedom of a country to the end, or even spirit.
These children are not as much as adults think. They are fanatical and full of enthusiasm. They are not afraid of bleeding or sacrifice at all. They are willing to fight to the end for their own national war!
The injured child in front of him is one of them.
.

.
.
He was hit by a bullet in his abdomen, and when he was shot, General Jaccart was not far from him.
When the French began to charge, the child stood up slightly recklessly and used the submachine gun in his hand to desperately shoot at the enemy. This of course exposed himself.
He was lucky that the bullet only hit his abdomen, and at least he could still be alive.
Jacart could see the pain on the child's face, and he could see that the child was enduring the pain even more.
He called the conscript to bandage the brave child, and he suggested that the child leave the position immediately.
