Chapter 44 Are we really going to die here today?
In addition, the Mediterranean Navy of the British and American allies (3 battleships, 8 cruisers, 40 destroyers, 23 minesweepers, 14 small combat ships), as well as more than 3,200 aircraft, have also prepared pre-war preparations to launch the last strike on the periphery.
As long as they wait for the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Allies' Expeditionary Forces, General Eisenhower, to issue an order, they can defeat 250,000 German and Italian soldiers in one day and make them surrender in full.
Of course, this is also the combat goal of today's British and American Allied forces. We must immediately deal with the German and Italian remnants of the Bangkok Peninsula.
I thought they were about to plan the Sicily Battle and made pre-war arrangements.
When the first round of artillery fire from Britain and the United States was covered, the soldiers of the 9th Division and the 1st British Army took Thomson light machine guns and Lee Enfield rifles; with an unstoppable momentum, they rushed to the positions of the German and Italian troops, which had almost run out of ammunition and food, like a tide.
"Oh no! The British and American troops launched a general attack!"
When he saw a large area of British and American troops launching a general attack with a fierce attack, a German soldier holding a broken Mauser 98K rifle in his hand widened his eyes in horror and screamed in panic.
"Be careful, be careful, be ready to load the battle!"
Seeing the British and American troops coming, there were officers with fighting will on the German positions, desperately pulling the Mangmen and urging and urging the command.
As the death-hunting command continued to roar, the Germans who still had guns and ammunition to fight back also wore their big-eared steel helmets to move one after another. Some set up mortars and anti-tank guns along the front positions of the traffic trench, while others continued to stay in their combat positions with the Mauser rifles in their hands, crawling to aim at the enemy and shoot, but some cowards were thinking about whether there was a way to escape from the battlefield or intend to surrender.
In short, after the order was issued, the firearms held in the hands of the German soldiers, the steel helmets on their heads, the kettles hung around their waists and other hard objects were rubbing and bumping against each other, thus quickly filling the trenches that were originally silent and silent quickly filled with a tense and uneasy atmosphere.
"What else can I see! If you don't want to be killed, just fight back!"
In such an atmosphere, a irritable German officer waved his fists fiercely; he roared angrily at a German soldier who had picked up a Mauser rifle stained with mud from the ground and stood blankly with a blank expression.
"Ba!Ba!Ba!Baa..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Amid the German officers' curses, before the stunned German soldier came to his senses, the sound of guns and cannons of British and American troops resounded deafeningly on their front positions.
"Hurry up and hide, get in place, shoot!"
Seeing this, the German officer took the lead, concealed his body in the nearby positions, and then skillfully concealed; he was in position and prepared to shoot, and at the same time he quickly shouted at the German soldier behind him who was still stunned.
"Boom... roar..."
But as soon as the words fell, the US military's shells fired from a 77mm caliber cannon fell to the position of the stunned German soldier with great accuracy; then amid the loud explosion, the German soldier was blown to pieces and could not die again.
"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh..."
In the midst of this flash, several rifle bullet sounded instantly.
The German officer who had just finished roaring immediately bent down and avoided the several enemy bullets that suddenly shot at him.
When the sound of bullets stopped, the German officer was still scared and carefully looked out from his hidden trench to observe the movements of the British and American troops.
It would be fine if I didn't look at it. When I saw it, the German officer almost jumped out in fear.
Because there were more than 200 Sherman tanks, like thousands of horses galloping towards his position.
At the same time, the 75mm short-barrel cannons and 76mm long-barrel cannons on these tanks were also aimed at the position where he was in, ready to fire.
"Bang! Boom! Boom..."
In a short while, almost 300 armor-piercing bombs, grenades and smoke bombs rushed towards the German positions like rain of stones.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Amid the loud noises, the only small number of tanks and anti-tank guns remaining on the German positions were also destroyed on the smoke-filled positions.
However, the German defenders who still had ammunition were still intercepting artillery, mortars and heavy machine gun fire, trying to struggle to resist in the final struggle.
"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Ba!Ba!Ba!Baa..."
"Attack! Don't let the British and American troops go further! Even if you want to die in battle, you must bring one more British and American troops!"
Amid the dense sound of guns and cannons, some German officers who would rather die than surrender were shouting in the trenches of their positions.
At the same time, they also used the guns in their hands to shoot wildly at the oncoming British and American tanks and the huge infantry following behind; and calmly commanded the German troops who were still equipped with weapons, equipment and ammunition to fight back to death.
I don’t know if it was God’s blessing or the Germans’ luck was so good; in short, in their desperate counterattack, the US tanks on the opposite position that were hit by anti-tank fire during the attack were increasing.
However, even so, behind the tank groups, there was still a surging crowd like a black tide; rolling towards the German positions, and their fanatical guns and the bombardment of the main tanks quickly covered up the German army's weak gun attack sound.
Such situations and situations are the ones that they still have a glimmer of hope for the German officers and soldiers who are most reluctant to see and fear.
"Are we really going to die here today?"
Looking at the situation of defeat that was already hopeless, the German officer who had just poked out of his hidden trenches to observe the battlefield said sadly with a dull expression.
"I think we can't escape this damn island! Kamiro!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another German officer with torn clothes interrupted.
"Ian McShawn, I thought you were dead!"
Kamiru turned around and looked at the other party, and said with a wry smile.
"It's almost done. If we can't stop these damn British and American tank groups and the general attack of the army, we will not be far from the gates of hell!"
Ian McCoshen responded with a remarkable shrugging his shoulders.
"I really want to meet Hayley Atwell. I wonder how her life in Berlin is now! Will she still miss me after I die in battle?"
Kamiro suddenly felt sad and said.
"Maybe! I don't know, anyway, I'm just a single dog. Even if I die in battle today, I don't have much nostalgia! Just like the saying I often hear in China: 'In 18 years, I will be a hero too!' So even if I die in battle, I will still have to bring an extra bastard British and American troops to bury me with you!"
Ian McCoshen said very optimistically.
"Single dogs are good! Don't worry about anything!"
Kamiro looked at Ian McCoshaun with envious eyes and said.
Ian McCoshen shrugged again, smiled bitterly, and did not answer.
But at this moment, a hand-cranked air defense alarm whimpered, densely resounding throughout the position like a death talisman, making all the Germans stare at the gray-black sky smoked by the smoke of the war in panic.
At this moment, a large number of small black spots were increasingly turning into huge black bird-like flying objects, diving bombing or shooting at all German positions.
"Oh my god! It's British and American fighter jets and bombers coming! Everyone, dodge!"
