People in the United States, the beginning of gun fighting

Chapter 212 Attack on Monte Fort

The next morning.

A group of soldiers were shouted by Captain Louis.

Luke yawned and stood up, nodding with Logan who came back.

Louis straightened up, with a relaxed smile on his face, "Soldiers, I just received news that the headquarters ordered us to go to Cherbourg, which is the largest port in northern France, where we will participate in the general attack on Cherbourg."

"We will return to the army with honor and victory!"

All the veterans also cheered in unison. They landed in Normandy crazily, and then cleared out the German soldiers along the predetermined depth line. Now they can finally rest for a day or two, and go back with the treatment of heroes. Who wouldn't like this?
As for the subsequent battle?
Being a soldier is always about fighting, and these veterans have learned early on to enjoy the moment.

Several people began to pack up their things to cover up their traces. Louis walked up to Luke and the three of them, took out a few cigarettes and handed them to them.

Seeing this, even the indifferent Victor smiled, quickly took the cigarette, and began to feel ecstatic with the help of Louis' fire.

Luke shook his head slightly, "Thanks, I don't smoke."

Louis smiled, took back the cigarette and said, "Then you will lose one of the great joys of life. On the battlefield, cigarettes are the lives of soldiers."

Cigarettes at this time also had an exciting and refreshing effect. During the war, the U.S. military distributed a pack of cigarettes a day, and the effect was similar to morphine.

Louis packed the cigarettes in his arms, looked at Logan and Victor, and said, "What are your plans after arriving in Cherbourg?"

Victor looked at Logan hesitantly. These two men were rough people who seldom used their brains, and most of them were decided by Logan.

"We have accumulated enough merits, but we should not leave the battlefield for the time being. What are your plans?"

Logan followed Louis' words.

Right now, if the return goes well this time, the two of them will be lieutenants at least, and they will be at the same level as Louis, and they can each lead a team.

However, in order not to expose themselves, Logan and the others seldom accept it. Instead, they would ask for some military medals and monetary rewards.

"I want you guys to act with me and be my teammate. My brother is a colonel. The U.S. military is preparing to secretly organize a special team. I think we will be good teammates. Of course, I will not take credit for you of."

Louis smiled wryly, "I just want to increase my sense of security."

Form a special squad?
Howling Commandos?
No, this is another world.

Luke shook his head silently, but was unexpectedly seen by Logan, and immediately said: "Our two brothers are used to savages, and I am afraid that we cannot be qualified for more special tasks. Thank you, Captain, for your kindness."

Louis glanced at Luke with an embarrassed expression, then nodded silently and walked away.

Seeing Louis walk away, Logan and Victor approached Luke and whispered, "What do you think?"

Obviously asking why he shook his head just now.

But how could Luke say that he just lost his mind?

Immediately replied: "The more special the risk of exposure, the greater the risk. You should have accumulated a lot of military achievements, and you have always been the top soldiers. Instead, you will attract others' attention."

Victor asked: "Then why are we going to be non-commissioned officers? We were in World War I, but were reported by our teammates."

This is really embarrassing, did discrimination against mutants start from World War I?
Luke smiled slightly, feeling a bit sure about winning, and said, "Don't worry, since I have spoken, there is a way. Let's go back together first. After I have settled my identity, I will lead you to make a fortune."

"Get rich!"

Victor was excited when he heard these two words, Logan frowned and said, "Compared to getting rich, I don't want others to notice us."

Luke gave Logan a white look, "Although we are all mutants, we are different here."

Luke pointed his finger at his own brain, Victor laughed at Logan frantically, Logan shook his head helplessly.

The three hurriedly packed their things, put on their backpacks and marched with the team. The journey was very safe. The Axis countries retreated day by day. The Normandy landings prevented Germany from organizing a decent counter-offensive force, but the Allied forces had already reached Germany. The front door of the country and the Soviet army are on the east and west lines, forming a situation between two sides.

When I went back, I was far less worried than when I came. I even met many Allied soldiers along the way, most of them were British and American soldiers.

One night later, the team arrived near Cherbourg. Not far away was the sound of rumbling heavy artillery, which should be warships or coastal defense guns on the shore. Germany was still resisting, but their situation was over.

Tents were densely packed around Cherbourg. The city is still a war zone, and the two sides will be in a stalemate here for a while.

The scouts in front of the road brought back a sentry, and the sentry guided everyone in Louis's team through the minefield before entering the camp safely.

In the camp, there was a lot of voices, and there were naked soldiers and wounded brought back from the front line everywhere. Occasionally, the sound of hunger and joy could be heard from the tent.

Luke took a closer look, and most of the tents that made noises were officers' tents.

Really enjoy it.

The team was placed in an empty tent, and had a simple rest overnight, before participating in the attack on Cherbourg the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, Luke was pulled up by Logan to go to a meeting.

In the U.S. military camp, the status of the 101st Airborne Division is still very strong. Luke saw many people saluting and whistling to him.

Walking into a tent, Louis was already standing inside, led by an ordinary middle-aged man.

Is a lieutenant colonel.

Seeing Logan and Luke coming, he nodded slightly, which allowed Luke to see his dark circles clearly.

"Everyone, the situation is not optimistic."

"The resistance of the German army was stronger than we imagined. They not only surrounded Cherbourg into an iron barrel, but also arranged various bombs and mines along the path."

"The tanks we were so proud of in the Pacific didn't help either. The Germans had a new weapon, the Iron Fist."

Louis put down his smoking hand and asked, "What is Iron Fist?"

"The German army's latest bazooka, our Sherman tanks are somewhat vulnerable to iron fists, and their mortars are very accurate. Over the past few days, we have suffered a lot of losses."

The lieutenant on the other side asked, "What does it mean?"

The lieutenant colonel shook his head with a wry smile, "Tonight, I will lead you to a strong attack. The purpose is to clean up the German defense facilities on the outskirts of Cherbourg and weaken the German army as much as possible."

Louis flicked the finished cigarette holder to the ground and said, "Sounds dangerous."

The lieutenant colonel shook his head slightly, "There is no danger in a war. I hope everything goes well tonight. You will be incorporated into my command first. We are the fourth regiment of the third infantry brigade of the 9th Infantry Division of the Army. I am the commander Walton. Andrew."

"This is your Battalion Commander, Simmons Nutter."

These last words are addressed to Logan and Louis.

The two nodded slightly, and Captain Andrew strode out. He still had other things to arrange.

As for Battalion Commander Simmons Nutter, he stayed behind with a smile on his bearded face, looked at Logan and said, "The four of you will remain in a small team for the time being, and report your military achievements when you go down to logistics , we will liquidate after taking Cherbourg.”

The four nodded in unison, no exception to Luke's special status.

Battalion Commander Nat explained a few more words, and left in a hurry. As an infantry battalion, they are the most difficult existence, and they have to take the lead in the storm at night. The Sherman tank is not very useful, and the higher-ups may not use tanks to assist. For a strong attack, [-]% of them will be filled with human lives.

Several people returned to the big tent, where Joseph and others were also here.

Seeing Logan and Victor come back, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

They all knew the strength of Logan and Victor in their hearts, so they naturally wanted to stay with them. Therefore, the lieutenant colonel specially came to see them and ordered them to attack at night.

"Did you think you could rest for two days when you came to Cherbourg? Why don't you even use the rest time, and the military merits are temporarily stored. What's the use of military merits when we die?"

The soldier next to Joseph said that he was the communication soldier in the team, Chloe.

Louis also sighed, "It's hard for the army, we're going to act tonight, so let's clean it up."

Everyone kept complaining, but they were honestly packing their things and replenishing ammunition.

Logan and Victor came to Luke's side and whispered, "Follow us tonight, it's safer."

Of course, Luke would not refuse Logan's kindness, and replied with a smile: "Okay, then I will leave it to you two."

"Hehe, maybe we still need you to transfer urgently!"

Victor smirked.

Luke turned to look at Victor, "Are you scared with such a crazy recovery ability?"

Logan shook his head, "It's very difficult for us to survive under heavy artillery bombardment with strong capabilities."

is it?

How did Luke remember that Logan seemed to have been bombed by a nuclear bomb?
Shaking his head, he concentrated on preparing the things in his hands and changed into infantry clothes. The clothes of the 101st Airborne Division were too conspicuous.

In the afternoon, the team boarded a truck and came to the camp at the front line.

Everyone lurks quietly in the camp. Looking out from the trenches of the camp, there are traces of the city not far away. This is the front line city of Cherbourg, Montbourg.

Only by laying down here and the city of Barneville can you see the real Cherbourg.

Luke put on his helmet and gripped the semi-automatic rifle in his hand.

Victor smiled and patted Luke on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, follow us, I guarantee you won't die!"

Victor is still thinking about his future glory and wealth, so he must do his superficial work properly.

Logan also put on his helmet, and he was still fighting with firearms without claws.

Occasionally, he also has the habit of hitting people with a spear.

Everyone lowered their figures and listened quietly.

After a while, the roar of bombers was heard overhead, and the air strike began.

The anti-aircraft guns and mortars in Monte Fort began to work, and the US military waited patiently for the opportunity.

This is an old tradition of the U.S. military. Before the battle, the air force attacks once, and then the infantry slowly advances. If there are more casualties during the advance, the air force has to be called back and fly again.

No way, your German army has no air supremacy!
