He didn't know exactly how long it took. He only knew that when the skill was activated, the fatigue in his body disappeared completely, and the lost strength and physical energy returned at lightning speed.

He was not the unlucky guy who almost exhausted himself after trying to save himself in the water for more than half an hour, but the airborne soldier who just had a delicious dinner and set foot on the C-47 full of energy and energy.

The next moment, he jumped into the river and began to grope for the discarded equipment. It took about 10 minutes to fish out a trench knife, an engineer shovel, and a bag of rations, and the rest floated away with the river.

Looking at the things in front of him, Ivan felt that the trench knife was an accident, because it was difficult to sink to the bottom of the river in terms of weight alone.

In fact, there is still one thing left, which is the cricket whistle used by the airborne troops to assemble in the dark. Ivan put it in the ration bag and tied it tightly beforehand.

Open the ration bag and take out the cricket whistle and put it in a convenient pocket. The subsequent identification of friend or foe and elimination of gunshots depends on this thing. The password "lightning-thunder" is actually not very reliable.

I checked the rations and there is no problem. Whether it is K-type rations or D-type rations, they are wrapped in waterproof paper, which will not easily enter water or become moldy due to the external humid environment, unless you plan to eat it decades later.

With the help of moonlight, Ivan looked at his watch.

At 1944:6 am on June 6, 3, less than 33 hours before the official start of the Normandy landing, Ivan not only lost all his weapons and equipment, but also lost a large number of projectiles. The most lethal weapon on his body was not Trench knives and paratrooper knives, but engineer shovels... I told you in advance that there are two detonators tied to it. Unfortunately, I can’t even see the powder of the detonators, but the engineer shovel is definitely ranked first in terms of handiness. It is currently his strongest lethal weapon.

【Main task trigger】

【Reincarnation please receive】

【Main task】

[Target: The final reward will be evaluated according to the number of paratroopers assembled, the ranks of enemy soldiers killed, and the destroyed military facilities before the surrender of the reincarnated German army in Cherbourg]

[Note: As of July 7st, this reincarnation can be settled twice]

[Note: The first settlement is decided by the reincarnation, no later than June 6]

Since the last reincarnation, there have been no kill rewards, or they have been integrated into the [main task] to settle rewards based on specific performance.

Ivan actually likes this settlement method very much. The more things he does in a limited time, the richer the rewards will be.

The difference between this time and last time is that it is not completely fixed until June 6 for the first settlement, but gives Ivan quite a lot of autonomy.

According to the experience of the last reincarnation, if you do some earth-shattering events before the settlement and survive successfully, you will be rewarded with a lot of good things... The most comfortable thing is to directly upgrade in the reincarnation, although there will be troubles It is a difficult premise, but as long as it is completed, it means that Ivan will replenish 1~2 cards in his hand, so he has to speculate...whether what he did can be regarded as solving the premise of his judgment.

"It's not a problem to plan the rations for these 5 days and stick to them for 7-8 days. After all, there are fellow Frenchmen here who can borrow food. The trouble is that you have to get some bullets for the gun first."

When Ivan took action, he first had to find his comrades and confirm their location.

If you can't tell the direction, go to the place where there are gunshots-there must be airborne troops in the firefighting area.

He blew the cricket whistle as he walked, and used one "click" to attract two "clicks" from the friendly army, but it was a pity that Ivan seemed to be blown too far away, and there was no unlucky guy like him nearby.

No... I can't say that, because I saw it after walking five or 60 meters.

It was just a cold corpse, he just hung on the tree like this, the strap of the parachute was the weapon to kill him, and the whole body hung down under the tree branches like hanging himself.

5. First Encounter with the German Army (5.5K)

"I thought our death would be particularly heroic, at least when we were fighting NAZI, but we were too naive at that time."

When reading the information beforehand, Ivan had no real sense of the airborne recalled by the veterans. After fighting several tough battles with Ma Run and the little devil, he even felt that the difficulty would not be too high until he was almost drowned. And seeing the body of the Screaming Eagle... The paratroopers are really serious and high-risk units, and the casualty rate can already be compared with the K company's tactical squad.

The paratrooper hanging on the tree does not look like he is about to go to heaven, but more like being dragged into hell by the devil. Before he died, he must have been in pain and regretted joining the army.

Ivan climbed up the tree three times, five times and two times, and found the leg bag containing the weapon beside the dead paratrooper. He decisively cut off the straps wrapped around him and took a few minutes to undo the buckle. He fell to the ground with a sound, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After returning to the ground, I apologized to the body, and then began to collect useful things.

"If I had time, I would have dug your grave, but please forgive me now."

打开装有武器的袋子,那是一把M1加兰德与两盒点30-06步枪弹,以及若干个装有8发点30-06步枪弹的桥夹。

The appearance of these things solved Ivan's urgent need. He had a guy in his hand who knew what to do, so he wouldn't be forced to use cold weapons to kill the German army. He would definitely use the 98K that he was not used to.

In addition, you can also find a storage bag, which contains 3 days of K-type rations, 2 days of D-type rations, tableware, cigarettes, coffee, chewing gum, morphine, and first-aid kits. It can be said that this unlucky paratrooper is used for Mines and grenades against tanks, and most of the things except engineer shovels and secondary weapons are carried on the body.

This is the case tonight, the paratroopers who successfully landed and survived were empty-handed, but the paratroopers who were unlucky and did not survive carried valuable weapons and equipment.

Remove the ammunition belt from the paratrooper's waist and assemble it on himself. There are a total of 10 bridge clips inside, each bridge clip has 8 rounds of 30-06 rifle ammunition, and then there are backpacks, cutlery bags, field satchels, water bottles, and general-purpose ammunition bags. After finishing all this, Ivan took off the military identification plate from the neck of the dead Screaming Eagle. At least after finding the large army, the family of this unlucky guy would know that he had died in Normandy, France.

During the process, Ivan naturally didn't forget to look at the ammunition box. This Screaming Eagle named [George Colin] didn't forget the most basic things before the military operation. He stuffed all the bullets allocated into the bridge clip.

"Thank you George, I will not let you die here in vain. One German guy is definitely not enough, I will use ten or a hundred NAZI to avenge you."

每个弹药盒里头10个桥夹80发子弹,再加上散装的10个桥夹,以及弹药腰带里的10个桥夹,伊文总计有40个桥夹320发子弹。

For a semi-automatic rifle, it is not too much, but the war has been calculated according to the reports received by the generals, which has exceeded the average range. The consumption of bullets by American riflemen in a whole day's battle is about 120~ Between 160 rounds, after all, defense relies on machine guns, artillery, and aircraft, and offense relies on aircraft, artillery, and mortars. It is rare for a rifleman to finish all the bullets he carries and the battle continues.

On the whole, the ammunition consumption of the riflemen is not too large-unless they are surrounded and isolated, each rifleman carries 150 to 180 rounds of ammunition, which is quite enough.

Based on the experience of airborne operations in Sicily, the above increased the number of non-machine gun ammunition of the airborne troops to more than 300, ensuring continuous firepower output when alone or 3~5 riflemen organized to fight, and then You can decide to retreat or attack while the enemy is unable to move.

It’s just that Ivan feels that if you encounter a large-scale battle, the energy consumption will be completely wiped out within half an hour. Get ammo from them.

Therefore, it is necessary to find someone to gather the paratroopers.

It is best to find the machine gunner, and it is best if the weapons you carry are not lost. If you lose them, you can only grab the machine gun and bullets from the Germans.

Of course, the actual situation is mostly the latter-even the lightweight M1A1 carbine with a folding stock can disappear during the airborne process, not to mention the BAR, which has been used since World War I and is still the best support weapon for the squad.

In fact, the idea of ​​grabbing the weapons of the Germans was built at a place far away from the core airdrop area, which meant that Ivan could not join the large forces in a short time, and everything...weapons and ammunition, food and medicine, Clothes and water have to figure out their own way.

This was the worst situation, but Ivan already felt that the current situation might be worse than this - that gust of evil wind must have blown him far away.

There may be others besides him, but the unlucky ones are in the hinterland controlled by the German army in Normandy, and you may not be able to get the airdrop supplies if you drop them.

The most important thing is that if this group of stragglers is not organized, the supplies will be exhausted in a maximum of two days, and then they will be wiped out one by one by the German army.

Yiwen's skills have a number of times. After resisting one wave alone, there will be another wave until he is exhausted to death.

As long as he has soldiers, food, and ammunition in his hands, he is confident that he will be able to contact his superiors to obtain a certain amount of air-dropped supplies while setting off stormy waves in this area.

......

......

Forward, toward the firefight zone!

Not to mention before landing, Ivan was still on the C-47 full of anger. When it was airborne, the German guy below dared to use tracer bullets to hit his own parachute... It stands to reason as A rabbit's soul, for all kinds of things that happened in the European continent, can't talk about family hatred, and the killing intent is not so strong.

But since he fell into the river, struggled ashore with all his strength and turned in an active skill, his killing intent was particularly full.

Horse riding, let me suffer so much, you all wait for me!

When I have guns and people, I will let you know how big the difference is between the regular army and the guerrillas.

"Patta....Papa....Papa...."

Walked for a while to observe the surrounding situation, and then blew the cricket whistle. After a full hour, Ivan didn't get a response from a paratrooper, and he didn't meet a dead paratrooper like before. He is a paratrooper.

In that case, he could only get out of this damn area first, and then confirm where he was.

After Ivan walked out of the swamp area and saw a wheat field, he was quite depressed, because it had been more than an hour since he decided to go out of the swamp area first, and it would be dawn soon... except for George, who he saw after landing Besides, let alone his own people, even the German army didn't see it.

He walked quickly to the wheat field, lowered his body to explore and observe the surroundings, and found an obvious trace of walking, indicating that some comrades must have landed nearby, and then passed through the wheat field like a headless chicken.

Yiwen has never studied trace science, so he naturally doesn't know how long ago the artificially created 'road' was formed, but there is always a chance to meet comrades-in-arms by following the traces.

When he walked over carefully, he suddenly found a person lying in a small gully beside him. The moon, which was about to be replaced by the sun, illuminated the American M1 helmet with a rather faint light, and his strong physique, looked like at least 1 person. The height of Mi 9, the camouflage paint on his face and the dirty clothes prove that this guy is no luckier than Ivan. According to the bald eagle logo on the arm of the combat uniform, it can be judged that he belongs to the 101st Airborne Division.

Before Ivan got close, he heard the sound of grinding his teeth.

"Fuck... fell asleep!?" Ivan was stunned.

Unbelievable, right?

In the early morning of June 1944, 6, the paratroopers who airborne on the Cotentin Peninsula removed the dead group, what did the remaining soldiers do?

——Not only those described in the history books, but also many soldiers who couldn't find their officers or their officers, just found a place they thought was safe and fell asleep.

This is what really happened in history, but there are not many records. Just completing an airborne, landing, and breaking free from the parachute exhausted the paratroopers' physical energy, and at most they persisted for an hour or two to find their comrades. I couldn't find it and was exhausted. No matter how strong my willpower was, I couldn't resist the sleepiness, and then I fell asleep.

Hearing the sound of grinding his teeth, Ivan wanted to light a cigarette to relieve his indescribable mood.

外-群>5/1{~7}8--8$+0=7@6*1|-

In fact, I can understand the strong man in front of me, because I can see that the clothes on his body are also soaked, and there is nothing left on his body except the military uniform. He must have had the same experience as him, and rescued himself on the verge of drowning with such a high physical value. It took more than half an hour to get exhausted, not to mention the tall and strong paratrooper in front of him.

The stronger the body, the higher the physical consumption of exercise.

There must be a water source near the wheat field, but it is not to the extent of drowning people. It can be judged that this guy was looking for his comrades as soon as he landed. It is estimated that he searched for more than an hour, but when he couldn't find it, he was so tired that he fell asleep. It is also a normal thing.

Of course, now that Ivan is here, he can't be allowed to continue sleeping.

"..."

Smollett Budd was a farmer's son from Louisiana.

Although he has tens of thousands of acres of high-quality land and thousands of cows, he is also a farmer's child... When he was a child, Bud heard from his father that his family had been lonely for a long time, and now he is only living on his laurels.

Before the Civil War, the family had more than 50 acres of land, more than half of which were abandoned because compared with tens of thousands of plantations, it was time-consuming and labor-intensive and not very profitable. As Nico no longer regarded the plantation as a happy garden and heirs from generation to generation They are all prodigal sons, and they were completely lonely on the eve of World War II.

Bud, who grew up with his parents on the "farm", hated this kind of life, so he volunteered to join the army at the age of 18. He felt that the military career had a future and could change his fate of facing the loess all day long.

When he actually went to the battlefield and almost drowned in the lake that reached his chest, he was full of regrets. He felt that he shouldn't join the army. Fortunately, he trained more seriously and worked hard on weekdays, and he used to be on the farm. Swimming in the big pond, climbing up the shore with difficulty, and began to look for comrades in arms according to the order of the chief in advance. After walking for more than an hour, let alone a human being, even if he didn't see a single beast, exhaustion completely broke his spirit. with the body.

In his sleep, he returned to the farm at home and saw his father waiting for the return of the hero. He looked at the medal of honor on his chest, raised his chin unconsciously, and wrote pride on his face.

"Father......"

Walking to the side of the old father, he just opened his mouth, and before the words of showing off came out, the father who couldn't see his face clearly slapped him across the face.

"Snapped--!"

Bud was stunned for a moment, and then something like ripples on the surface of the water appeared on the blurred face belonging to his father. The originally cloudless sunny day suddenly dimmed, and finally he saw Ivan's resolute and calm face. face, but this face was covered by a small part of a black thing.

A closer look revealed that it was an M1 Garand rifle.

At this moment, Bard realized that he was on the battlefield.

It's not the ideal battlefield where you can kill all directions with weapons and become a hero, but the battlefield where you exhaust all your strength just to save yourself after airborne, find a place you think is safe to rest, and wake up to find that your forehead is held up by the muzzle of a gun.

"are you awake?"

Bud didn't dare to speak, because his own life was in the hands of others, and he had no choice but to raise his hands to express his surrender.

"It looks like he's awake."

After saying this, the guy who completely controlled his own life moved his gun away. At this moment, Bud was a little at a loss - he didn't understand the meaning of the other party.

"Silly man, you can understand American English, but you think I'm a German soldier?" Ivan said angrily, "Also, don't donate your eyes to those in need."

At this moment, Bud's pupils shrank suddenly, and he realized that it was his f*cking ally who was staring at his forehead with a gun!

"what......"

After thinking about it, Bud only felt ashamed, and his whole face turned red all of a sudden.

It is said that Yankees are free-spirited and not very restrained. In fact, this is a stereotype.They are free and open, but it does not mean that everyone is the same. To put it bluntly, it has something to do with personality and family education.

Bud is obviously not the Yankee in the stereotype. The look of lowering his head and barely covering his face looks like a little girl in Ivan's eyes... No, no, few American girls are as shy as him .

"Ha ha......"

So I couldn't hold it back, and Ivan laughed out loud.

Encountering such a Howling Eagle, the previously dull mood suddenly improved.

Bud scratched his head in embarrassment, then sat up from the ground, stared at Ivan and immediately saw the white stripe on his helmet that symbolized the rank of second lieutenant: "Sir, are you...?"

"Second Lieutenant Hausman Ivan, Deputy Army Second Lieutenant, 506rd Platoon, E Company, 2nd Battalion, E Company of the 3th Regiment..." Ivan said, "Second Class, how about you?"

"Smollett Bader, I Company, 501rd Battalion, 3st Regiment."

Ivan saw this regiment and its subordinate 3rd Battalion when he was looking at the information. The 3rd Battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Julian Ewell was actually a reserve battalion and was not assigned any important tasks before the war. Simply put, their The purpose is to protect the airdrop of the personnel of the 101st Airborne Division Division Headquarters. When this task is completed, it will go to reinforce the parachute battalion in need.

However, they ran into big trouble during the airdrop. There were countless Screaming Eagles like Bard scattered all over the place, and the theory of the reserve camp no longer existed.

In fact, the key point for Ivan to remember this battalion is a rather funny thing-after the airdrop of the division headquarters of the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army, Major General Maxwell Taylor, the commander of the division, landed on a dairy farm first, but he was the only one Here, it took some time to find the battalion commander's adjutant of the reserve battalion, a major, and then met Major General Anthony McAuliffe, the artillery commander of the division, and the three of them walked together to find a group, the leader of which was the reserve battalion The commander is Lieutenant Colonel Julian Ewell, and there is a major beside him... Wait for a closer look, a large number of captains, lieutenants, second lieutenants, and a small number of signal soldiers and clerks, ordinary rifles There are very few hand and machine gunners.

Then...Major General Taylor did not give up on providing support to the American 4th Infantry Division attacking Utah Beach. He personally led the division headquarters and the paratroopers who gathered one after another to attack the small seaside village of Pupiville. This village is Utah The beach is the place where Highway 1 must pass. Although there were 150 people before the attack, only 40 people could actually fight.

The division commander personally went into battle to command 40 people, and shouted at the top of his voice while providing fire cover. Under the cover of fire, the captain had to approach the house occupied by the German army and throw grenades in it. The cannon fodder of the firepower, the leg of a major assisting Taylor was blown off by a German M24 grenade, and the helmet of the battalion commander of the reserve battalion was hit by a bullet luckily survived, only a little bit of scratches.

The most unfortunate thing was that a soldier next to Taylor tried to throw a grenade into a window. The box lunch is gone.

Since Bud belongs to this battalion, it is very likely that Ivan is not far from the division headquarters.

"We need to take action and find more comrades in arms, otherwise it is impossible to survive in this place." Ivan asked as he supported the strong man, "Army Private Smollett Budd, please accept my command now. "

"Yes, sir!"

The answer from the farmer's son was crisp and clear, and Ivan was very satisfied. It would be great if he was given another gun.
