Chapter 823: Sleep

Then the shells exploded into the forest, and occasionally bombers dropped bombs in this direction...... Zhang Chi made a lot of calculations, but he never thought that he would be bombed by the US military. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

So the battlefield is really changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen without a real fight.

Fortunately, this is not the main target of the US bombing, so the shells are not dense.

Casualties were inevitable, with fifteen soldiers killed and thirty-one wounded.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi and the others were prepared in advance, and once a wounded person screamed, there were comrades next to him who immediately had towels to gag their mouths...... There is no way to do this, and it doesn't mean that a single command can stop it, and people will reflexively let out screams when they are injured.

It may be cruel to plug it with a towel, but for a war or an army, everything is more in the interest, so ...... Cruelty is cruelty, and there is no shortage of this on the battlefield.

Fortunately, the German front was quickly pushed forward.

This was already expected by Zhang Chi, most of the combat effectiveness of the US army was piled up by equipment, not to mention that there were rabble like the 45th Division in the US defense line, these troops were okay in the face of the Italian army, and the elite troops of the German army...... It's good not to be beaten back to the beach and back into the sea.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that the U.S. troops were almost driven back into the sea, which was also the purpose of the German army to launch an attack in such a hurry, and they planned to take advantage of the fact that the U.S. army was not firmly established to defeat it in one go.

But the Germans soon found it unrealistic to achieve this goal...... The US military is much stronger than the German army in terms of equipment and firepower, especially since there are still hundreds of ships of various types parked on the sea, and the large-caliber naval guns and various machine guns on the ships can provide fire cover for the US troops, and no matter how thick the armor of the German tanks is, they cannot withstand the bombardment of the US naval guns.

Even so, the U.S. military is still in danger.

Many U.S. military lines have been compressed to the beach, and the sea is behind them that there is no way to retreat, and there are even scenes of U.S. troops competing to grab ships and want to retreat to the warships...... The Americans, who knew almost all about swimming, jumped into the sea and swam towards the nearest landing ship offshore, fearing that if the Germans attacked, they would not be able to grab the landing ship.

The situation was eventually resolved when Patton ordered landing craft and transport ships to stay away from the coast and even to transport supplies...... When the American GIs know that they have no way out but to give it a go, they will also unite to hold their own defenses, after all, their own lives are at stake.

Then, Patton ordered a group of "Donald Ducks" who had not landed in time to land immediately.

Although the number of these tanks was not large, only more than 50 units, they blocked the front line of the American army and gave the American army great psychological comfort, which made the American army believe that the Germans could no longer drive them out of the sea, so the military spirit stabilized.

In fact, the Germans were unable to drive the Americans out into the sea, even if the Germans threw almost all of their troops into the attack.

In addition to the excessive firepower of the American army, another reason for this failure was the insufficient supply of the German army.

Of course, the German army was not without supplies, but this war came too suddenly, the German army did not know that the Allies would carry out such a large-scale landing, so they were not prepared, and after discovering that the Allies had landed, the Germans decided to drive the Allies into the sea as quickly as possible, so the troops went to the battlefield at the first time "lightning".

This would have been no problem, after all, the most important thing on the battlefield is time, the fighters are fleeting, and the German army has always been fast and slow.

The problem was that the "Lightning" went to the battlefield with a side effect, that is, the ammunition carried with the troops was not much, and the German army had to rely on the follow-up of the logistics troops.

As a result, the intensity of the German offensive was not very large, it did not suddenly burst out after accumulating forces for a period of time, but piled up little by little...... Therefore, if it is blocked by the US military at the beginning, there will be no great threat to the US military in the future, because the US military can use air supremacy to attack the German supply lines with the air force, so that the German offensive will become weaker and weaker.

The American and German armies mingled on the beach, but it was very beneficial for the Zoaf Corps led by Zhang Chi.

Because the front continued to advance southward, Mount Roy, where the 1st Division of Zoaf was hiding, slowly became the rear of the rear, and finally even the German artillery positions were moved to other directions.

Mount Roy soon became a place that was neglected by both sides of the world.

At this time, Cook Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked Zhang Chi: "Shall we leave now?" ”

"No!" Zhang Chi shook his head, and at the same time looked in the direction of the road: "There are still many German activities, such as their reinforcements and logistics troops, if you move now, it will be easy to be discovered by the enemy!" ”

Cook nodded: "So what do we do now?" ”

"Sleep!"

"Sleep?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "Sleep, just like the usual training, sleep during the day and act at night!" ”

"But......" Cook looked in the direction in which the Americans and the Germans were engaged.

Although Ku Keyi didn't say anything, Zhang Chi knew what he meant.

The German army and the American army are fighting a few kilometers away, the German logistics units are going back and forth at the foot of the mountain, and the American artillery shells and warplanes are whistling overhead, can they sleep in this situation?

However, the battlefield is such a place, it is impossible for him to provide you with a safe environment for you to sleep, and the Zoaf Corps also faces a very real and cruel problem: if you can't sleep, then where will you get the energy and physical strength to march at night?

Therefore, Zhang Chi's order is simple: "If you can't sleep, you have to sleep!" ”

The Chinese advisers have long been accustomed to this order, or rather, they are psychologically strong enough to fall asleep at any time and in any place, including Zhang Chi.

Because they know very well what they can do even if they can't sleep? If you don't fall asleep, can you get out of the way with shells or bullets?

Since you can't hide from it either, and you can't change anything, why don't you sleep with peace of mind?

But the people of the Zoaf Corps were different, and they couldn't help but open their eyes and take a look as the guns rang out and planes flew overhead.

Therefore, these Algerian soldiers could not help but be shocked when they found that their advisers could really snore like thunder in such an environment, and their admiration for the Chinese soldiers unconsciously reached a new level.
