Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 135 Sudden arrival (fifth update!)
  On November 11, heavy snowfall once again enveloped the Ardennes Mountain area. Because the heavy snow hindered transportation, the search teams scattered in the Ardennes Mountain area had to retreat very quickly, especially since they still needed to drag those in the mountains. Collected artillery pieces and even damaged and abandoned tanks.

In short, retreat takes time.

On the mountain road, Zhao Changan, carrying a carbine on his back, breathed into his palms from time to time. Born in Suzhou, he had never experienced such a cold winter, even the winter when the Anti-Japanese War broke out. He walked with his parents to Anhui, To Hubei, to Sichuan... After traveling so far, I have never seen such heavy snow or such cold weather.

In the middle of the road, a huge M25 "Dragon" tank trailer was towing not only a "Panther Tank" but also a No. 4 tank and a Dragon heavy-duty trailer. The entire task force only had a dozen tanks in total. After all, the US military used it to tow back tanks and vehicles abandoned by the German army, and repair damaged US tanks as much as possible or transport damaged tanks to rear maintenance points for transportation.

For this reason, the task force can only use the M19 tank transporter with poor performance to transport tanks. Even the M19 only has 22 tanks. The insufficient number of tank transporters, especially the "Dragon Tank Trailer", has always restricted the use of weapons. collect.

Now, it was also dragging down the march. When passing a hillside, the engine of the M25 heavy-duty trailer made a roar that shook the entire valley. If it weren't for the shoulder-high wheels of the trailer that were still turning forward, Zhao Changan even worried that the trailer would not move. It will slide down.

"come on……"

Soon, the convoy passed the hillside and entered Bastogne in the evening. However, the convoy did not stop. Instead, after unloading the tanks, artillery and ammunition, it returned to its previous station... .

"The Ardennes area is part of the Siegfried Line. In addition to finding weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Germans in a small number of fortresses, there are also a large number of artillery and tanks scattered in the mountainous area. Most of them are French goods, like those we captured in France before. Unlike Russian goods and Belgian goods, here are mainly German goods, and most of them are new guns from 43 or this year, almost brand new..."

Carrying the weapons and equipment found in the mountains, Chu Yunhui couldn't help but swallow.

"We found 71 15cm s.FH18 howitzers, half of which are intact. Even if they are damaged, only the barrel is damaged. As long as the barrel is replaced, it can continue to be used..."

Then, Chu Yunhui said.

"Three days, Chief Li, as long as you give us three days, we promise to bring everything back..."

Another one needs time, and the other two teams also need time.

Either three days or four days...

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yian said.

"Two days! You have two days. Try to drag over the intact weapons as much as possible. We have to send these weapons to Metz. Time is tight. General Patton's Third Army will soon launch a new round of attacks. Once the offensive breaks through the German Siegfried Line, there will be countless weapons that can be picked up by then."

Using Patton's attack on the Saar region as an excuse was Li Yi'an's excuse to withdraw the three search teams. As for whether the Siegfried Line could be conquered, it was not important at all. What was important was to avoid casualties on his own side.

While giving them two days, Li Yian also mobilized the trailers and trucks of several other search teams to transport the collected materials to Metz as quickly as possible.

With Patton's Third Army over there, safety is absolutely no problem.

On December 12, after several days of rush transportation, almost all the tanks and artillery piled on the Sixth Search Brigade's station had been transported to the rear, leaving only a few badly damaged tanks and artillery. Although these tanks and artillery are only valuable as disassembled parts, Chinese people who are used to poverty are still reluctant to give them up.

Although the main force has withdrawn to Bastogne, there are still two squadrons staying here. At night, most of the remaining team members are writing letters to relatives and friends. "The place where we live is a noble manor, and the house is very bright..."

In the light of a small candle, Peng Shangwu was writing a letter to his family with a pen.

"Tonight, we are eating canned Spam from the United States. Mom no longer has to worry about her son not having enough to eat here. Unlike in China, we can eat canned Spam every day." There are so many cans of Spam that I can’t even finish them all. By the way, did you receive the two boxes of cans of Spam I sent you last time? It tastes very good..."

Peng Shangwu, who just graduated from high school last year, responded to the call to join the army with the idea of ​​resisting the war and serving the country. However, he soon suffered a heavy blow - he could not even eat enough in the army. It was not until he and his comrades protested that things got a little better. But still... not enough to eat.

But from the day I was deployed to France as a supplementary personnel, everything changed. Not only could I have enough to eat, but I could also eat well - I could eat meat every day.

Although Spam is either fried or boiled every day, it is still meat!
  If you have meat to eat, why bother?
  Not only is there meat to eat, but there is also a thick and warm US military cotton jacket, plus a down quilt. Even though it is freezing and snowy outside, you can get under the duvet and it will be warm.

This day is really comfortable.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Peng Shangwu, the squad leader, urged the team members in the squad to rest quickly. For him, tomorrow will be exactly the same as today - comfortable, quiet, and slightly cold.

Maybe a little more tired than today, after all, they still have to train.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Peng Guoliang, like everyone else, was awakened by the violent explosion.

"Where is the sex going on..."

"It's shelling, shelling..."

Before the shout could stop, there was a flash of explosion outside the dark window. Even though they were far away, they could still feel the tremor of the earth.

"Germans, the Germans are calling..."

The team members who woke up from their dreams picked up weapons one after another. As a search team, they only had light weapons. After they picked up their respective M1 carbines, various explosions suddenly mixed together.

Feng Zhijie, captain of the [-]th Squadron, hurried into the command post.

The sudden burst of continuous artillery fire made them startled. They were confused and at the same time full of confusion. Now, what should I do?
  "Are the Germans attacking?"

A cannonball fell more than a hundred meters away. The shock wave of the explosion directly shattered the glass on the window. The flying glass stabbed the bodies of several team members. In an instant, the room was filled with blood.
