Chapter 150: Racing all the way (Third update, please subscribe)
The task force's offensive was extremely fast, and it was simply a replica of the blitzkrieg.
No, it’s just a bolt of lightning.
There was almost no resistance along the way, just like a wild ride.
It's not that the Germans didn't resist, but when they discovered that the approaching Panther was not their own tank, the tanks were already driving in front of them. What else could they do except drop their weapons.
Even these guys have two Tiger tanks!
An Allied force with all German tanks. Even the paint on the tanks and the useless anti-magnetic armor are authentically German.
Who can blame this matter? They can’t react immediately!
Ever since, after rushing all the way, the task force not only broke through the unsuspecting German defense line without any effort, but even captured thousands of German soldiers. Even when they were captured, the Germans were a little confused. They were obviously friendly forces, so how could they become enemies?
Especially the black logo on the red flag on the tank is really misleading!
"Quick, quick..."
Qian Shangqin, who emerged half-body from the command tower, commanded the Tiger tank and moved forward. There was no force in front of him that could stop him. Now, they The main character is Kuang Bian.
In fact, the so-called violent surge is to break up the German defense line before they can react.
Tiger tanks and Panther tanks are extremely camouflaged, and many German soldiers were disarmed without any explanation.
While Qian Shangqin commanded the armored battle group to march all the way, Major Harrison also commanded the armored battle group to march towards Bastogne. With air cover and fierce artillery fire, they fought The success was extremely smooth, and the brave attacks always allowed the German troops to flee.
"Bastogne is ahead..."
Just when Harrison shouted these words, his throat suddenly became sharp as if someone was strangulating him.
"Tiger Tank!"
The next moment, the radio station of Harrison Battle Group was filled with screams of terror.
“Damn, there are actually two Tigers...”
"And the Panthers..."
"They actually still have gas, my God..."
Amid the screams, the leading M4s relied on their vertical stabilizers Taking the advantage, he opened fire first, and at a distance of nearly two thousand yards, he fired one shot at the Tiger.
But obviously for attacks at this distance, firing depends on courage, and hitting depends on God.
But God was obviously on their side today. A capped armor-piercing projectile fired from an M4 tank actually hit the Tiger.
"Bang..."
The moment the tank was hit, a loud metal impact sound like a giant bell being struck echoed on the battlefield, but that was it, the shell was bounced away It fell in the distance and exploded.
“There is an ambush!”
Qian Shangqin was startled by the sudden attack. His ears were ringing from the shock, and he immediately stepped on the turret turning pedal, and the gunner We also quickly adjusted the shooting angle. When we pressed the enemy tank against the scope, we recognized the enemy tank at a glance as an American M4. But these days, if we can use German tanks, the Germans can also use American tanks.
"Put..."
The moment they stepped on the firing pedal, the Tiger tank's 88mm main gun roared. Not only the Tiger tank, but also the Panther tank also opened fire. While they were still connecting, they were looking for a suitable slope to use the hillside protection. car body.
For this group of tank novices, they have not yet learned how to use tanks to penetrate, but they have learned how to use the undulating slopes of the mountainous areas to protect themselves, and soon they rushed to only one meter away from the top of the slope. Only half of the turrets were exposed on the left and right sides, and everything that followed could not be simpler, just target practice.
In contrast, the Harrison battle group that had just passed the top of a slope was almost completely exposed.
For a time, the battlefield was filled with the sound of artillery. In the continuous sound of artillery, several Sherman steamed buns were hit one after another.
"Damn, these must be the elite armored troops of the German army. Why do they have gasoline again? It must be that damn bastard who threw the gasoline to these Germans..."
While Major Harrison loudly cursed his colleagues for their incompetence and lost the gasoline, he almost instinctively called for air support through the radio. Now that the weather conditions were good, there must be their aircraft in the sky.
"The German tank battle group, in..."
Major Harrison was not the only one who called for air support, Qian Shangqin also called for air support, and then, they almost simultaneously Hearing each other's voices on the radio.
Same channel,
Same model of radio station.
The only difference is...tanks!
"Ceasefire, ceasefire..."
As Qian Shangqin shouted, the tank battle group ceased fire, and Major Harrison also ordered to stop shooting.
“We are the 4th Armored Division of the Third U.S. Army, please identify yourself!”
“Is it General Hugh Garfield’s 4th Armored Division? We are the defenders of Bastogne Army, we have penetrated the German defense line!”
The sound on the radio made Major Harrison dumbfounded. Everyone in the battle group looked at each other. Although accidental injuries are inevitable on the battlefield, there is only one thought in their minds right now - he Damn it, who said that, the defenders of Bastogne only had rifles in their hands!
Didn’t we agree that they are rifles and tanks, waiting for them to save lives!
An own encounter ended like this.
Soon word of this own encounter reached Patton. The man who was commanding the troops cut off the German army's neck with all his strength and gave the German army a fatal blow. He was stunned for a moment, and then yelled.
"Good guys! Good guys, they not only defended Bastogne, but also captured so many German tanks. What a group of good guys!"
Unlike other US military generals, Patton's character was extremely stubborn. In his opinion, an accidental injury was not worth mentioning. Instead, he was more interested in the guys guarding Bastogne.
"Quick, go to Bastogne, I want to see in person that guy who is giving Germany crap!" Just a few hours ago, Patton's telegram to General Hugh Garfield was still "We need to We must do our best to save the guy who made the Germans talk nonsense."
Now, one thing was directly confirmed in Patton - the defenders of Bastogne broke the siege by themselves!
The most he can do is help.
On the afternoon of December 14, hundreds of U.S. military trucks drove into Bastogne, bringing not only a large amount of supplies, but also a large number of reinforcements. The reinforcements were what should have made Bastogne famous in history. 101st Airborne Division - Because most of the soldiers were enjoying life in bars, brothels and women's houses in Reims, it took the military police a full day to pull them out. As a result, the 101st Airborne Division The Airborne Division departed two days late, which made them miss Bastogne.
Now, they are finally here, and their status is still the same... as reinforcements.
However, the defenders of "Bastogne Fortress" did not need their rescue at all. Not only did they not need it, they even beat the Germans severely before they arrived. Then he broke through the German siege and joined the rescuers.
However, despite this, the task force and reinforcements still embraced each other enthusiastically, cheering for this hard-won victory.
“Now, it’s time for us to counterattack!”
When the American officers and soldiers vowed to teach the Germans a lesson, Li Yian said in a calm tone.
“None of this has anything to do with us now!”
Yes, whether the Americans were pushed flat by the Germans or the Germans were cut in half by Patton, it has nothing to do with us. Any relationship, now, it's time for the brothers to rest.
We can’t just let Americans enjoy the passion of French girls!
While switching defenses with the US military, Li Yian met a famous guy, Patton. When this guy got off the jeep, he looked like he had walked out of a movie, wearing a cotton jacket. He wore sunglasses and carried two ivory-handled Colt revolvers coquettishly on his waist. As soon as he saw Li Yi'an, Barton grinned.
"Good boy, you fought really well in this battle,"
Then, Barton looked at the guy in front of him seriously and said.
"Originally I wanted to come to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to break the German siege on your own. You are really a very powerful guy."
"It's not that I am great, General. "
Li Yian said, pointing to the soldiers around him.
"The really powerful ones are them, they defeated those Germans."
Then, Li Yi'an said to Patton.
"Okay General, now I hand over this city to you, our mission has been completed."
"Well, you have worked hard,"
Barton said.
Everything that followed could not be simpler. It was nothing more than handing over the city defense to the US military. As for the task force, on the third day after the meeting between the two sides, they finally withdrew from the ghost place of Bastogne. But before leaving, Patton still robbed him and borrowed 2,000 tactical vests.
Of course, this kind of borrowing must never be repaid.
Even Barton said carelessly. I'm not borrowing it in vain, I promise that from now on the task force will just follow him to clean the battlefield, and any supplies they capture, even a dagger, will be handed over to the task force.
Well, this is definitely in line with Barton’s way of dealing with people. You can't force much on that guy at all.
In fact, this business was not a loss. After all, Patton's Third Army was the main vanguard of the future attack on the German mainland, and almost swept the Western Front.
You will definitely be able to pick up a lot of good things if you follow him. Favors are needed everywhere.
"Sir, where are we going now?"
When getting on the bus, the adjutant asked,
"To Paris!"
Li Yian Speaking of.
When the jeep retreated with the large army, Li Yian took a look at this small town. Now that he has left this place of right and wrong, what will be waiting for him?
Thinking that the Borneo Guard Force has now come to the forefront through this battle. Think of the possible impacts.
Li Yian naturally thought of another group of people.
British!
It should be Churchill. What kind of response will that guy make?
Churchill and the United Kingdom were the biggest obstacles and stumbling blocks for Li Yi'an to return to Borneo.
Even with the help of the United States, the British still cannot be ignored. After all, to a certain extent, North Borneo is British territory.
Churchill.
Thinking of the guy with the cigar in his mouth, Li Yian's expression became more solemn. Now it was his turn to play his cards.
