Eight hundred and fourteen. New legends
The battle seemed to be very beneficial to the Skeleton Commandos, but the German soldiers paid the same price.
So far, they have 69 soldiers left. On the opposite side of them were a steady stream of Allied troops rushing to reinforce them.
In the afternoon of the same day, Brigadier General Badge again reinforced, with a company of troops, to Brest, and placed under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Karls.
Now, the main task of the 3rd Marine Brigade is not to defeat the Nordland regiment in front, but how to completely annihilate the skeleton commandos.
The subtle changes that have taken place on the battlefield have made the Americans feel uneasy.
The Germans kept spreading the miracles of Major Moyol and the New Skull Commandos in Berlin and throughout the battlefield in various ways. More and more Germans, Americans, French, or Italians are learning that the magical skeleton commandos are back, and that they are making new history.
Berlin's exhilaration, in words, is impossible to describe. Yes, they knew that this was not the previous skeleton commando, and Major Moyol was not a skeleton baron, but what did it matter?
Their incomparably strong faith is now affirmed. As long as the skeleton commandos remain, Germany will not lose.
A large number of young Germans were conscripted into the army, and they decided to fulfill their promise to Germany with their blood and enthusiasm...... Maybe they will never get a chance to join the skeleton commandos, but they can fight for Germany on the battlefield...... Numerous processions appeared in the streets of Berlin, completely oblivious to the bombing of enemy aircraft. They can defend the city with their lives just like soldiers......
In the name of the barons - all of Germany - mobilize!
For the Allied soldiers, this was not very good news. None of them had ever seen a real skeleton commando. But they had heard the legend of this German unit since childhood, and it had already been deeply imprinted on their psyche. When Major Moyol and his team continued the myth of the skeleton commando with miracles again and again, that fear naturally appeared in the bottom of my heart......
A miraculous German commando is quietly changing everything.
These changes were clearly seen by the Allied commanders on the front line, and they immediately reacted to the ears of the Allied Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland.
Westmoreland is also well aware that there is only one solution to this problem:
Completely destroy the skeleton commando. Put an end to the myth that it is undefeated!
There is no longer any possibility of victory for Berlin, her fall is only a matter of time, and the myth of the undefeated skeleton commandos. It gave Germany great confidence, which was seriously detrimental to the future rule of the Allies.
This will expose them to endless resistance, all of which will inevitably have one purpose in mind:
In the name of the Skull Commando!
Driven by such thoughts, Westmoreland issued a new order to Brigadier General Badger, the commander of the American forces at the front. Temporarily cease the heavy assault on the German Nordland Combat Regiment. Solve the Brest problem first.
He used the phrase "solve the Brest problem" and deliberately avoided the words "skeleton commando", and he had to minimize the impact of this team......
Brigadier General Badger was more aware of the danger posed to the Allies by the Skeleton Commando, and he ordered the 3rd Brigade to maintain high-pressure offensive pressure on the Nordland Combat Regiment, and in this case, to send some of its troops to Brest.
So many troops were mobilized in one go, and even alarmed the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, and all this was for one person:
Major Moyol!
If the Americans knew the true identity of "Major Moyol". Maybe they will send the whole division, the whole division, to the ...... in Brest
......
"Major, the enemy has increased its forces again." Captain Scherer pointed out of the position. The telescope was handed over to "Major Moyol": "I looked, there was about a company of troops. ”
The corners of Wang Weiyi's mouth moved, and he knew that he had succeeded again, and the attention of the US military began to be attracted by his small commando team. The pressure on the Nordland Combat Regiment will be much less.
The next step is to prepare for the retreat.
Wang Weiyi knew very well that the reason why he was able to resist the enemy's attack here to the death was all due to the defensive location chosen by Canada before, the weapons left behind, and the determination of all German commandos to fight to the end.
Now that the enemy's forces are appearing and the weapons and equipment are becoming stronger, it is impossible to stay here and hold out......
Three days have long passed, Wang Weiyi has fulfilled his promise to General Ollitz, and it is time to retreat.
"Major, Alan is back."
With this voice, Allen appeared in front of the commandos, and Sergeant Max was the first to greet him: "What did you go for three days?" ”
"I'm lost." Alan gasped a few times: "Still, I found a path that would allow us to retreat, which is not shown on the map at all. ”
"Remember this road?" Wang Weiyi asked calmly.
"Yes, Major, it is firmly in my heart."
"It's dark for two hours." Wang Weiyi looked up at the sky: "Hold on for another two hours, and retreat after two hours!" ”
He will never consume his forces in vain, and when the conditions are ripe, retreat will be his first choice.
As he himself said - there are definitely no shames in running away in many cases......
The Germans were preparing to retreat, and Lieutenant Colonel Kars, who had received new reinforcements, had already decided to settle the battle in two days.
His troops were dragged here by these Germans for four whole days. It's unimaginable. However, Lieutenant Colonel Karls Ye clearly saw that the Germans could not hold out here for much longer.
As long as these Germans can be eliminated, any kind of shame will disappear......
A new offensive is begining. As with every attack, the Americans continued to suppress the German positions in Brest with massive firepower, then under the cover of tracked armored vehicles and a tank. Cautiously advancing towards the German positions.
It's the Americans' favorite but only form of offense.
In the past few days, the American soldiers have gradually become familiar with the German way of fighting. They knew that they would soon be under heavy German fire.
Sure enough, when they advanced to a certain distance, terrible gunfire again rang out from the enemy's positions......
When he heard the first shot, Lieutenant Colonel Karls shook his head helplessly. What he has not been able to understand is why the Germans still maintain such a fighting spirit?
And many of them died. But that didn't affect them in the slightest. What exactly are their nerves made of?
He saw through the binoculars that two American soldiers had been killed, and then all the American soldiers were lying on their stomachs. When the machine guns had passed, they cautiously got up, and then as soon as the enemy guns rang out again, they would quickly lie on the ground again.
Occasionally. A few brave American soldiers were also able to hide behind the tanks. Desperately fight back with weapons. And the machine guns on the tanks also desperately spilled bullets at the Brest positions.
The opponent used heavy machine guns, M16s, and bazookas to block the enemy's path, bullets flew in the sky, and grenades caused explosions everywhere on the battlefield. Every minute and every second has the potential for death to strike.
After a long distance, the fire on the German position suddenly intensified, and more than a dozen grenades rained down.
"Boom" explosions. The battlefield was instantly submerged in thick smoke of gunpowder......
The gunfire didn't stop for a moment, but Lieutenant Colonel Karls could tell. Probably no substantive breakthrough can be made today. However, he was not particularly worried, judging by the strength of the German counterattack, they should not be able to hold out for much longer. And what made the Germans desperate the most was that they had nowhere to escape.
Judging from the map, there is a dead end behind them, Lieutenant Colonel Kars has already blocked the rest of the road, and the skeleton commandos have no way to escape!
"Order, another new offensive in 20 minutes......" Lieutenant Colonel Kars said coldly.
"Yes, I'll give the order." Major Davis quickly responded: "However, what I don't understand is that there is really such a big gap in the combat quality of soldiers between the United States and Germany? With absolute superiority in forces, we have not made any progress. ”
"Major, the German troops have all been tested by the tragic Second World War, and the end of the war is not far from them. Many of their commanders, who had grown up in the war, had a wealth of combat experience, and to put it mildly, were not at all comparable to those of us who had only been trained in military schools. Lieutenant Colonel Karls did not hide this at all: "If the conditions are equal, we are no match for the German army, and we will be easily killed by them on the battlefield." In the Second World War, the United States stood by for too long....... And there is another very important reason...... "
Lieutenant Colonel Kars looked at the opposite position: "From the very beginning of the battle, we had an absolute advantage, and our officers and soldiers took it for granted that the victory would be ours, so they did not dare to be too brave in the battle. And what about the Germans? They are simply in a desperate battle to the death, and all their potential is bursting out. The comparison between the two produces such a result. ”
Major Davis nodded, and Lieutenant Colonel Kars continued: "But I don't think this situation will last long, our soldiers have become more and more aware of what the war is all about, and are more and more able to adapt to the battlefield. When we occupy Berlin, Germany, Europe's number one military power, collapses, and the confidence of the soldiers will be greatly rewarded. Their performance on the battlefield of the future can be fully expected. ”
Major Davis was cheered up by the lieutenant colonel's words.
Yes, people can only burst out all the potential in their bodies when they are in a desperate situation, and they will be afraid in the case of superiority, which is probably the reason for the embarrassment of the US military on the Brest battlefield.
But there was nothing to be afraid of, when the Skeleton Commandos were annihilated. The soldiers of the United States will gain great confidence......
......
A new offensive was underway, and Wang Weiyi calmly looked at the hot battlefield: "Sergeant Max, can you set this place on fire at any time?" ”
"Yes. Major. The weapons left behind by the Canadians helped us a lot, as did the ignition materials they piled up here. I can set this place on fire anytime and anywhere. ”
"Let the firelight see us off." Wang Weiyi said in a low voice.
Two more commandos fell, blood pouring out of their bodies. Wang Weiyi looked at their corpses with sadness in his eyes. In the future, there will be more good German soldiers who will fall......
As has been the case countless times in the past few days, the American assault was repulsed again, but the skeleton commandos were left with only 61 men.
"Captain Scheler. You leave with Colonel Winnelly and those Canadian captives as well. When night began to fall, Wang Weiyi gave the order to retreat: "We will retreat in two hours." The meeting point remains the same. ”
"Yes, Major. We will be waiting for you there. ”
Wang Weiyi's gaze fell on Major Mario: "Major, you are free." ”
"What?" Major Mario didn't react.
"In two hours we will retreat and burn this place, rest assured. I'll keep you in a safe place. Wait for the Americans to come in. You'll be free. ”
Major Mario hesitated: "Major Moyol, allow me to join you. ”
"You want to come with us?" Wang Weiyi was a little surprised.
"Yes, I want to be with you." Major Mario made up his mind: "I said, I was an admirer of the Skeleton Commando when I was very young, and I have witnessed the battles you guys have fought these days. Germany may still fail in the end, but you can surely become a new legend. It would be a great honor for me to be able to fight with the Legend! ”
Wang Weiyi was silent: "But have you considered such consequences?" You will become a traitor when Germany fails. You're still talking about going to a court-martialed trial! ”
"I've thought about it." Major Mario said calmly, "But what could be more important than being able to fulfill a dream?" ”
Wang Weiyi smiled faintly. What could be more important than being able to fulfill a dream?
It's a strange thing to have a guy American join the Skull Commando......
In the darkness of the night, the skeleton commandos who had held out here for four days began to retreat. The weapons and ammunition that could not be carried were put away. Bombs were planted in several key locations. When the Americans set foot on the position, the explosion would set off a huge wave of air, and the ignition materials that Sergeant Max had carefully stacked would drown Brest in flames......
Perhaps, it would be a magnificent sight......
Wang Weiyi lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs, his eyes kept looking at the other side.
"Major, we can leave." Sergeant Max came to his side and whispered.
"We'll meet again......" Wang Weiyi suddenly said such a sentence, and then threw away the cigarette in his hand: "We, let's go!" Lieutenant Jonas, you know what to do. ”
Guo Yunfeng nodded indifferently......
......
It's dawn.
The U.S. troops appeared listlessly in their positions, and in a moment, the battle that they feared would break out again.
How many of them will make it to Brest alive?
"Isn't that right?" Lieutenant Colonel Karls suddenly put down the telescope in his hand: "Why is Brest so quiet?" And what about the Germans? Is it already running? ”
"No, Lieutenant Colonel, look at the map where they don't have any place to escape!"
"No, no, I don't feel right." Lieutenant Colonel Kars's brows tightened: "Major Davis, attack immediately!" ”
This time, the Americans did not encounter any gunfire, and it was so quiet on the Brest positions...... The silence made even the Americans wonder if the enemy had set some trap......
However, when they were extremely close to the enemy's position, they still did not come under any fire.
When the first American soldier frightened and stepped into the Brest position, where they had attacked for four days but found nothing, they found that there was not a single living person here. The Germans fled! The cheers came out of the mouths of these Americans, as if they had just won an incomparably beautiful victory......
Guo Yunfeng clearly heard these cheers, he smiled, and then pressed the detonator in his hand hard.
The terrible explosion drowned out the cheers of the Americans, and the entire position was instantly submerged in the smoke of the explosion, and then the fire rose.
The cheers turned into screams....... The American soldiers who were not killed fled their positions in disarray, while several unlucky people were surrounded by fire.
Lieutenant Colonel Karls looked at what was happening in front of him in amazement, and he knew that the Germans had fled, but what had he gained? Heavy casualties, and another relentless fire. And the ridicule of those Germans...... Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Karls swore that he saw the ridicule of the Germans.
"Lieutenant Colonel, they probably ran away." Major Davis, holding the map, was dumbfounded: "However, there is no place on the map where they can escape. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Karls looked at the map in the Major's hand, snatched it up, and tore it to shreds in a few strokes.
Maps, maps, damn maps!
He cursed the map, he cursed the Germans, and he cursed his own soldiers! (To be continued......)
