Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

Now back in the small town of Savigny, the guerrillas have not completely destroyed the power system here, but it is impossible for Midway Radio to contact Saint Lo in the small town of Savigny.

It is possible to continue to send an infantry platoon to follow the communication team to the east for more than ten or twenty kilometers to make contact, but is the defense of the small town of Savigny left alone?

Who knows if the guerrillas will take the opportunity to kill a carbine?

Not likely to be unlikely... The problem is that today everyone thought Hausmann-Ewen would not come, but he did.

The company commanders dare not gamble, so the best plan is to send orderlies to Saint-Lo on horseback to inform the specific situation of the town of Savigny.

After calculating the time, about two or three hours later, Saint Luo will send someone to come over to sit in the town, no matter how bad it is, they will bring a set of high-power radio stations and professional answering/senders over, and let the three company commanders One person assumes the duties of the battalion commander of the entire infantry battalion and issues relevant orders at the same time.

In this way, at least the three company commanders will not be staring at each other in a building, not knowing what to do next.

The company commanders smoked in silence, praying that Ivan would not come over here to do something to return the carbine, so that he could get through the most dangerous period safely.

Not long after praying, the shouts from the orderly came from outside the house.

Rudolph felt his heart tremble like a sudden cardiac arrest, but when he recovered the next moment he felt his scalp tingling. The other two company commanders were not much better, even if it was some bad news.

Then quickly think about whether there are any loopholes in your defense zone, and what is not done well.

"Report—report—report—!"

Seeing that there was no response from the house, the messengers outside did not dare to rush in directly, so they could only continue to raise their voices too high.

This frightened the three company commanders quite a lot. Fortunately, after thinking about it, Rudolph felt relieved that there were no loopholes in his defense zone. When the orderly began to knock on the door, he quickly coughed twice and pretended to clear his throat.

"Come in!"

"The report—the statistical results are out, please check with the officers."

The company commanders were relieved to hear that nowhere was under attack.

"Put it here."

"Yes, sir."

After the messenger left completely, Rudolph picked up the list and looked at it for a few times, and then he felt bad.

He didn't speak, but the second company commander who picked it up to look at it couldn't hold back at all, and yelled directly.

"This... this is a group of robbers. It's not enough to kill people, but also to loot us!"

"It's so insane, even the soldiers' boots and ammunition belts are not spared!?"

To be honest, if it wasn't for the tight time, Ivan would probably only leave a pair of underpants for the soldiers in the logistics camp.

The uniforms of the German army are not only good-looking, but also not bad in wear resistance and practicality, especially the boots that Ivan was not used to wearing at the beginning but later thought they were pretty good.

Plains, jungles, swamps, cities... As long as it is not a desert or a mountainous area, it can protect your feet very well, and it is still comfortable after using the foot wrap, at most it is not comfortable when running. It's just too convenient.

Therefore, different combat units within the German army also have different boots. The paratroopers are similar to the boots of the US military. The African Legion pays attention to ventilation because of the hot weather. The feet are leather boots and the legs are made of canvas.

The conditions of the guerrillas are very difficult, and the Screaming Eagles are slightly better. Most of the shoes worn by the rest of the people are made of wood and straw woven. This kind of shoes with almost no protection, waterproof performance, and corrosion resistance can be found in swamps. There is no difference between the area and not wearing it. Almost every day, because there are no boots that can protect the feet, people are pierced by strange things and bleed profusely.

Anyway, there are more than 200 pairs of German military boots ready-made, and it is the utmost kindness not to take off your clothes.

42. Hausmann Irving, long live! (Happy New Year's Eve)

There is a truth like the law of conservation of energy in the world - as long as someone loses a lot, someone must gain a lot.

The German infantry battalion in the small town of Savigny lost an entire headquarters, more than 50% of its military supplies, and a large number of technical personnel.

The original logistics camp had a total of more than 200 people. After the combat troops came back, the statistics were carried out immediately. The total number of Germans still staying in the camp is less than 150. The guerrillas were not so crazy and executed more than 100 people here. As long as you are not a coolie porter, you can get a No. 11 bus ticket just for poverty alleviation in the countryside - nurse team, veterinarian, shoemaker, tailor, auto soldier, repairman, hairdresser, horse breeder... ... and so on, a series of inconspicuous guys belonging to the entire logistics system, not only the people were taken away, but also the tools for work were taken away.

Although Ivan's almost robbery-style behavior would not paralyze the defense system of the entire Savigny town, this behavior was equivalent to hollowing out the logistics system of the German infantry battalion.

Of course, the cooked food is still edible, because the field cooking team was dispatched with the combat troops, so they escaped the catastrophe and returned to the town safely with the field cooking vehicle.Half of the various materials delivered yesterday were distributed, and now we can save money and save money to ensure that the German troops here will not be hungry in the next week.

It’s just that other aspects are not as convenient as before—no one to mend trousers if they are torn, no one to prescribe medicine to take care of them if they are sick, no veterinarian to see them if their mules and horses are sick, no one to fix their hair with a bayonet when their hair grows, and no one to take care of their broken leather shoes People will repair it for you, and if the firearm breaks down, you can find a solution yourself. If some machinery breaks down, you can only knock it a few times to see if it can be fixed.

Rudolph commented sharply on this: "These gangsters are simply unreasonable!"

If Ivan knew, he would only ask him lightly: "In your eyes, is a hooligan a creature that can reason?"

Anyway, it wasn't the first time he was a hooligan in the eyes of the German army.Besides, none of the members of the guerrillas think that there is anything wrong with the order issued by the supreme officer. You Germans think we are hooligans. It is because you have a problem with your brain. In our opinion, this is the most universal The principle of value - it is full of humanitarianism to save a life for you after the defeat, think about what you have done in France in the past few years, we will ask you for some non-personal items, and send some skilled people to the countryside by the way Just help the poor!

......

......

Near noon on June 6th, the guerrilla base camp.

Although everyone is earnestly completing the assigned work, they are not as relaxed and happy as they were a few days ago, and everyone is frowning with their mouths closed.

As a result, the atmosphere in the entire lair seemed to freeze, making it so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

The reason is naturally that I didn't see a brother from the combat unit when I got up early in the morning.

Where can they go?

Needless to say, you can guess.

To be honest, very worried.

Those who can not be affected by the rumors and rumors of the outside world and insist on following Hausmann Ewen here are very clear that their own side is not what the outside world said before—this is a bold and careful resistance with impressive strength military.

There are a lot of guerrillas, but they are very poor. They have a small number of weapons and a variety of weapons. In this way, there are many kinds of supporting bullets... In fact, it doesn’t matter if there are enough types of ammunition, as long as there are enough reserves, then Dedicated people to do the distribution is not a big problem.

However, there are not many bullet reserves. Riflemen use 3 types of guns and 3 types of bullets. On average, each person can get less than 20 rounds of bullets, so they have to maintain about 3 rounds of live ammunition training every day.

When they first joined here, quite a few young people with aspirations were almost desperate. They didn't care about the rules. Without these rules, they would not let them resolutely join.

The main reason is that the number of guns and ammunition is really too small to form a combat force of less than a hundred people.

In this case, let alone a lost battle, as long as it was a battle that was evenly matched and failed to capture much, then the 600-odd people here are lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and an infantry platoon sent by the German army is enough to clean up clean.

On June 6, when the news that Hausmann Ivan had collapsed due to overwork resounded throughout the base camp, many people felt sorry for the supreme officer at the time, but after two days of careful thinking, they found out that this would not Could it be Chief Yiwen's plan to delay the attack, specially used to play tricks on the Germans?

Coupled with the poverty of the base camp, more and more people believed in this kind of thinking, so they subconsciously thought that it would be the same on June 6th, it was just a trick to trick the Germans into staying in the small town of Savigny.Although they didn't know what the top officials were planning, these people also discovered that Ivan had to pay a lot for playing with the enemy in this way-the Germans would be fooled a second time, but they would definitely not be fooled a third time.

I thought that after playing with the Germans this time, the supreme officer would take everyone to move and transfer together from the moment he learned that the German army was moving, relying on the complex terrain in the swamp area to deal with the Germans, until they were exhausted and then suddenly Give a fierce attack, eat 1~2 infantry squads of the German army, and then continue to lead the Germans by the nose, and finally rely on this tactic to drag the Germans who have all-round advantages to death in this swamp area step by step.

But I never thought that on June 6th, Second Lieutenant Housman Ivan from the 15st Airborne Division of the American Army really disappeared in the base camp with a combat force of less than 101 people-did they go out for a full-time training?

If so, why did the medical team from Whiteman's side also take it away?Father Anders, who often gave mass to his brothers on weekdays, is also missing?

After thinking of this, the people in the logistics team became excited, as if the blood in their bodies rushed into their brains in an instant, and everyone was so excited that they wished they could also participate in this military operation, but as time passed by, they gradually calmed down The people who came down discovered the huge risks that Ivan needed to take to fulfill his external commitments.

Won, and have a firm foothold here.

Lose and lose everything?No, that is death!

In fact, when the public opinion in the outside world is running in a bad direction, and the evolution is extremely violent, they still stick to it, and for those who abandon hesitation and join here decisively... take the Germans around here to find Opportunity, compared to Yiwen's risky military operations, they would rather suffer more and be more tired, because this team is full of infinite hope, and other stinky fish and rotten shrimps are not worthy of coming here to carry shoes!

It is really too weak to withstand big storms.

The hope I finally found, I definitely don't want it to be shattered in my own hands.

Therefore, throughout the morning, everyone was tense, and all the rest time was used to pray to God-not for victory, but for everyone to come back alive.

Not optimistic, or rather pessimistic, is flooding the old lair. Provocative speeches alone cannot counteract this sentiment. Ivan's third-level brotherhood will not greatly reduce the overall morale, and the effect of motivational words will be doubled. 3 doubled is also 0.

The only thing that can break through all of this and directly carry out a polar reversal is the return of victory.

The moment the 10 sluggish trucks and the long line of triumphant strides came into view, any pessimism turned to ashes like lit paper.

There was no hallucination in their eyes, and they really saw at least fifty or sixty guys in German uniforms carrying their own tools, dejected, and being urged into the center of the base camp by their comrades with their heads up high as if they were defeated. .

At this moment, the base camp is boiling like boiling water!

I'm afraid only a fool would think that...they returned to their lair with fifty or sixty German prisoners of war on horseback, and today's military operation can still end in failure.

"We are victorious!"

"We beat the Germans!"

"We won the war!"

The sound of cheers and jumps one after another, seems to be resounding through the sky.

When the three three-axle military trucks with a load capacity of 1.5 tons that were designed, developed and produced by Germany in violation of the "Treaty of Versailles" stopped at the front of the team, the crowd in the base camp, who were shouting like crazy, fell silent instantly.

Because in the eyes of the logistics team, it is not the comrades who are full of heroism, but the dead and seriously injured of the second commando team. Both of them are placed on stretchers. Cloth covers the body.

There were not many people killed or seriously injured in battle. There were 10 people in total, but 8 of these people came from the United States across the ocean. They volunteered to join the 101st Airborne Division and came to the strange European continent. Ivan felt that they should be arranged in The first batch of the first echelon returning to the old nest.

The purpose is not only to let the people in the logistics team know the cruelty of war, but also to let them understand that after you go to the battlefield, no matter whether you die or are injured, you will not be left alone on the battlefield.Wounded will be healed, and killed will bring your corpse back.

The second batch came down with 2 moderately wounded and 5 lightly wounded, as well as Housman Ivan who accompanied them along the way.

Seeing the appearance of the supreme officer and helping the wounded, the people in the logistics team couldn't help breathing shortly.

The cruelty of war can be felt from the victims and the wounded. Yesterday... just yesterday, many of these heroes who returned as the first echelon were still chatting with the logistics team They almost broke the cowhide, and when they dined together, they even played tricks, trying to get some 'food that feels more delicious' from each other.

But right now, only cold corpses can be seen. For many guys who have been in contact with these sacrificed soldiers, the impact is quite huge.

Yesterday flashed like a slide in the minds of the logistics staff, and they never thought that those cowhide would become the last words.

The two seriously wounded people who did not die were lying on the stretcher and kept moaning in a low voice. Just listening to it made me feel distraught-yesterday, these two guys were performing a dance from a foreign country in front of dozens of people. The beauty of power displayed by a strong and powerful body is something that many French people cannot forget.

But now, the two of them... people are filled with grief and numbness.

At this time, the voice from Ivan let them out of grief and sadness for a while.

"Guys, brothers!"

Evan hates speeches and likes to do practical things, but he has to do it now.

"What you've seen, what you've heard, what you've smelled ... it's just part of the war, a small part."

While talking, Ivan signaled the medical team and the lightly wounded not to stop, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan when they returned.

"Some people have heard too much about the cruelty of war and think they are mentally prepared... But in my opinion, your mental preparation is a piece of paper that can be easily torn, and anyone will feel dead Not myself but others, I will avoid the harvest scythe of the god of death on the battlefield, hold high the banner of glory and get everything unprecedented... Do remember to give up this kind of fantasy, don't take cruelty as verbal cruelty .”

"Including yourselves, no one can guarantee that any of you will not die when you enter the combat force and go to the battlefield. Even I cannot guarantee that you will all survive, and you will live until the day when the Germans are driven out. .”

"Death is terrible. There is no one who is not afraid of death. You are afraid of death, and I am also afraid of death. There is nothing to be ashamed of. The instinct of a creature is to live... If this is the case, why do we have to risk our lives? Fight to the death with the Germans?"

This sentence caused a commotion in the crowd. Those who could stay and endure hardships all had the same goal - to repel the Germans, recover their own motherland, and protect their homes and relatives from the persecution of the invaders.

"I don't need to answer with words, I can feel your belief, so I am here to promise you one thing: not to ensure that you all survive, but to ensure that if any of you die on the battlefield, It will not be a sacrifice in vain, it will be full of meaning...Your death is to drive away the invaders, to defeat the evil, and to promote justice!"

When the wounded walked away and it was their turn to enter the base camp as prisoners of war in the second echelon, Ivan continued to speak loudly: "Besides... I, Hausman Ivan, can also guarantee that every soldier who died Will not be abandoned on the battlefield, let every wounded soldier be treated!"

Under the effect of level 3 brotherhood, the sadness in people's hearts was washed away by the blood in their hearts.

The people who were boiling again blushed and shouted Ivan's name.

The soldiers who stayed behind or went to the battle knew that today's battle was extremely dangerous, and the probability of winning was not high, but Ivan brought a victory that cleared away all pessimism, and at the same time fulfilled the promise he told everyone.

Don't abandon, don't give up, every sacrificed soldier is meaningful, they didn't die in vain on the battlefield.

"Long live Hausmann Iving!"

"Long live Hausmann Iving!"

"Long live Hausmann Iving!"

Ivan raised his hand, motioning for the crowd to quiet down.

"This victory has something to do with me, but it has more to do with everyone. To be precise, I don't play as much role in it as you. If it weren't for the bravery and skill of the soldiers, if it wasn't for your fearlessness of hardships, if it wasn't for the commanders at all levels adapting to the situation ,if......"

"Remember this sentence-victory will never belong to one person, it will always belong to everyone, and it will always belong to the collective formed by these people!"

"There is no individual heroism in war, only collective heroism. Individual strength is insignificant, but a group formed by a group of people with the same belief is invincible!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Cheers, yells, people are like crazy and want to yell out their voices, because the beloved Supreme Commander told them... this battle is a collective victory, no matter who you are or what job you have , all made great contributions to the victory.

"Guys, enjoy the victory!"

June 1944, 6 is bound to leave a strong mark in the long river of history, that is, the rough embryos seem to be more concerned about the food that they have not eaten for a long time

meat.

There are many types of food in the big gift bag from the Germans, including flour, sausages, potatoes, vegetables, and various canned semi-finished products. According to statistics, it is enough for 800 people to eat for a week.

Yiwen let everyone let go of their stomachs to eat, but he didn't forget to let Andre, Igor and others keep a close eye on it, if anyone wasted even a grain of food.

"Don't think that you will be punished like last time, and you will be punished this time, old buddies... Now we have more than 700 people including prisoners of war. I wonder if you don't want to wash the foot wraps for the Germans?"

As soon as these words were said, Andre and Igor trembled.

The last time I washed the socks for all the combat troops, I almost didn't get smoked to death, and I still have lingering fears.
