Chapter 906: Moltre

A little more than an hour later, the 1st Infantry Regiment arrived in Moltre.

To be exact, at a fortification five miles southwest of Moultre, Major General Marcus, commander of the 275th Infantry Division, personally arrived to meet the 1st Infantry Regiment.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel!" Marcus warmly shook hands with Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan, and said, "They told me that you would come to reinforce us, and I was relieved at that moment!" Until then, I had been having a headache about how to fix this. You know, with the retreat of the 21st Panzer Division, our left flank will be exposed, and if we don't quickly end the battle and retreat, we will soon be surrounded by the enemy! ”

"We want to know the situation, General!" Colonel Slane said, "The sooner the better!" ”

"Yes!" Major General Marcus nodded.

Although Colonel Slein's words were very blunt, not like what his subordinates could say to a general, Major General Marcus didn't mind at all.

This is not only because the 1st Infantry Regiment is here to relieve the 275th Infantry Division, but also because the 1st Infantry Regiment has the right to speak so.

"Here's the thing!" Major General Marcus pointed to the map and said: "This is the village of Moltre, where about a battalion of more than five hundred Americans is besieged. We occupied the 121.5 heights to the north, which blocked the Americans' retreat, and just as we were about to annihilate this American force, the north was attacked by a very strong American force...... We think they're Japanese! ”

"Japanese?" Colonel Slain was taken aback.

"Yes, the Japanese!" Major General Marcus replied: "Because they sometimes shout a few times in Japanese, and some of our soldiers recognize it as Japanese!" ”

"Damn the Japanese!" Colonel Slain couldn't help but curse: "How did they end up here?" ”

"We don't know!" Major General Marcus said: "We took a few prisoners, but they didn't say anything. In fact, they ...... before we had useful information"

Major-General Marcus shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, apparently not with a pleasant result.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that several Japanese prisoners took advantage of the inattention of the German soldiers to grab a grenade and detonate it...... Not only did they succeed in committing suicide, but they also wounded several German soldiers.

Colonel Slane sounded a little strange as he heard it, because it was rare for such a thing to happen in the British and American armies.

Qin Chuan didn't feel surprised at all when he heard this, this seemed like something that the Japanese would do. To be exact, this is a scene that is difficult for Europeans to imagine, but it is very common in the Asian theater.

Obviously, although these second-generation Japanese Americans who grew up in the United States have always embraced American culture, they have also inherited, or partially inherited, the courage and ruthlessness of the Japanese under the influence of their families.

"The hardest thing to solve is their tank!" Major General Marcus said: "Our few 'Leopards' have withdrawn to the next line of defense first, and the 'Four' has almost been depleted. But they have fifty tanks, and under the cover of their infantry, our bazookas do not work......"

Then Major General Marcus said, "Just come here, I'll send you to the front line, and you can use the ME63 to destroy those tanks." And then...... We'll be able to get rid of them and retreat! ”

Colonel Slane turned his gaze to Qin Chuan.

What Major General Marcus said was indeed a good plan.

No one dared to retreat under enemy tank fire, because enemy tanks could easily and quickly crush the small forces left by the Germans to hold back the enemy, and they could even run over mines.

Therefore, before entering the retreat procedure, it was necessary to inflict heavy damage on the enemy's armored forces, and even before that, a counteroffensive had to be launched.

But Qin Chuan didn't want this.

"General, what about the Americans who are surrounded?" Qin Chuan asked.

"That's not our goal!" Major General Marcus said: "Our goal is to retreat!" ”

After a pause, Major General Marcus looked at Qin Chuan suspiciously, then at Colonel Slein, and asked, "You don't have other ideas, do you?" ”

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "We want to annihilate this army!" ”

"You're crazy!" Major General Marcus said: "We don't have that much time, and the enemy is very strong!" ”

"Then hurry up!" Qin Chuan replied: "Fighting a battle of annihilation will not only make the 275th Infantry Division heroic throughout the army, but also make our subsequent retreat simpler and easier." Otherwise, with such a force following behind, it would not be so simple to be entangled by them again! ”

After thinking about it, Major General Marcus asked Qin Chuan, "Do you have any plans?" ”

"The plan is simple, put them in!" Qin Chuan replied.

"How?" Major General Marcus asked.

"121.5 Highland West!" Qin Chuan said: "If they pretend to be unable to withstand the pressure and retreat, they will try to widen the gap and even try to rescue the Americans...... And here we are attacking from their left flank and surrounding them! ”

Major General Marcus nodded and said, "That's a good idea, Lieutenant Colonel. But I have to warn you, they are not like other American soldiers! ”

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "We are not the same!" ”

So Major General Marcus had no problem, after all, it was the 1st Infantry Regiment that undertook the main attack mission, and the 275th Infantry Division was more in coordination with the 1st Infantry Regiment.

When the 1st Infantry Regiment finished sorting out its equipment and was about to enter the position, Colonel Slane handed Qin Chuan a cigarette and said, "I see your anger, Lieutenant Colonel!" ”

"What?"

"You seem to have something to do with this Japanese army!" Colonel Slain lit a cigarette: "So much so that I have some suspicions that you made such a decision out of anger!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded slowly and replied, "You're right, Colonel, I don't deny it!" ”

After a pause, Qin Chuan asked again: "Colonel, since you can see it, why don't you stop me?" ”

Colonel Slain laughed and replied, "God, you think I'm going to be on the side of the enemy and not support you?" No, Lieutenant Colonel! In me, to be exact, when we needed you, you always stepped up to help us get through it. Now you need us, and we won't just go aside. What's more, they're still enemies, aren't they? That's what we should do, teach them a little lesson, let them know that we're not to be messed with! ”

Qin Chuan nodded, his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

This is the case among comrades-in-arms, even if it is possible to pay with their lives, they will think that it is due.

Colonel Slein didn't even ask Qin Chuan what was going on with the Japanese troops.
