People in the United States, the beginning of gun fighting

Chapter 215 Attack on Cherbourg!

The sound of intense gunfire was still ringing in my ears. Luke was resting by the window tiredly. Victor was lying on the floor beside him. Logan was smoking a cigarette dully. Louis led the team to prepare downstairs.

Tanks and heavy artillery bombarded the walls of Cherbourg crazily. The German army occupied the commanding heights and suppressed it with bazookas and heavy machine guns.

On June 1944, 6, Allied forces saw Cherbourg in its entirety for the first time.

The tall turret in the distance, and the mud and swamps under the feet.

The river network on the Cotentin Peninsula is very dense. The German army dug up the river and turned the entire periphery of Cherbourg into a swamp.As a result, the advance of the U.S. tank troops was very slow, and the German infantry hiding in the field took the opportunity to use the "Iron Fist" anti-tank rockets to kill a large number of U.S. tanks.

At the same time, the heavy firepower of the German army was gradually reduced under the care of the Air Force, and the day of the decisive battle was approaching.

The team following Logan has already replenished its strength three times. The entire team, except for Captain Louis, was killed in battle.

Even Luke and Logan had no time to rescue them. In such a crazy battlefield, heavy artillery passed overhead, and the crazy German army exploded and attacked all the time.

The three of them took advantage of this short moment to rest quickly.

Luke stretched his head to glance at the scene outside.

The German army used 88mm anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns to prevent the Allied tanks from advancing. The voice of MG42 has been engraved in Luke's mind. Their ambitions are strong, and they have nowhere to go.

"Luke, do you think we can win?"

Logan asked in a low voice. He was observing the battlefield with a telescope. When he saw the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, his face was twitching crazily, wondering if his ability could resist it.

"Of course I can win because I'm here."

Luke's answer was still full of confidence. If it wasn't because he didn't want to be too dazzling, Luke would have already entered the interior of Cherbourg.

On the battlefield at this time, if there is an accident, the troops from both sides will focus on taking care of you. Luke doesn't think that his magic shield can withstand the serial attacks of the tank's heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns.

Logan smiled, put a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Look, the US military is attacking again!"

Luke stretched his head to look, and a bunch of tanks appeared behind the distant position, with a large number of elite troops.

For example, the fire-breathing soldiers wearing special armor, this is the specialty of the Seventh Army, and it has played its greatest role in the Pacific battlefield.

"Boom!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and Louis, with his arms wrapped in bandages, ran up, glanced at the three of them, and said: "The order from above is to launch a general attack tonight, and the armored forces will blast through the wall, and then we will follow. "

Logan's eyes widened, "Against the German anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns?!"

Louis glanced at him, "I will give everything for my country, remember."

After speaking, he turned and walked down.

Louis's team was completely wiped out. The former Joseph and the messengers were all dead. He was in great pain and even wanted to leave with them.

This bearded middle-aged man was on the verge of collapse. He needed to end the battle as soon as possible and win.

Logan was silent for a while, but still felt that the US military was a little crazy. He looked at Luke and asked, "Are we going to act tonight?"

Facing the anti-aircraft guns, heavy machine guns, and even the remaining tanks of the German army, Logan was not sure for a while.

Luke nodded slightly, "Yes, not only to participate, but also to take the lead!"

"Cherbourg is surrounded by water systems and there are many swamps. The German army built many bunkers here, but the foundations are not stable. We will take them tonight."

unstable?
Logan looked outside again. The tank's heavy artillery hit the bunker with only a big hole. Why is this unstable?

Are you going to use magic?
Logan felt more stable, it was better than risking a hail of bullets to push him. He is a reckless man, but he is not stupid.

The two watched from the window for a while. The scenes on both sides were very anxious. The only thing that can be praised is that some tanks are deliberately destroying the foundation of the fortress and the city wall, which seems to be a prepared action.

It continued like this until the evening. After a whole day of fierce fighting, both sides ceased fire tacitly. The air was full of the smell of burning gasoline and burning human bodies.

The smell of gunpowder and gunfire is even more common. The U.S. military lost a large number of tanks outside the city wall, all of which had broken tracks. This is a masterpiece of the German army.

Even so, tanks and armored units in the rear of the U.S. military are still continuously transported up.

No way, the armaments of the Yankees are well preserved. As the first large corps to fight, they want to win the war more than anyone else.

In the middle of the night, the officers sent from above formed a team of idle soldiers like Louis and Luke, and completed the assembly in the trench.

Luke glanced at the badge of honor on his chest and the logo of the newly promoted warrant officer, and was a little surprised. The battle along Cherbourg alone allowed Luke and Logan to gain a lot of military merit and honor.

Before the battle, record the honor and military rank, so that it will be more dignified when you die.

Louis and Logan have already obtained the rank of lieutenant colonel, and when they go back to the rear and pass the review, they will be a major.

Louis was still the captain. He stood in front of everyone and said, "Soldiers, tonight, we will be members of the Death Squad."

"Ahead is Cherbourg, the last position of the Germans. We must take him down. There may be sacrifices and deaths!"

"However, our comrades-in-arms will remember your achievements, our family will be honored by it, and the whole world will be proud of us! We stand on the side of victory and justice!"

"Take Cherbourg! Win!"

"Take Cherbourg! Win!"

"Take Cherbourg! Win!"

The crowd shouted a few more times before Louis nodded to the three of Logan, clenched the Thompson submachine gun in his hand, and waited quietly for the order.

Suddenly, a row of shining flares lifted into the air, and with the ear-piercing whistle, everyone began to charge.

In the next second, the planes in the sky were dispatched again, and the warships not far from the port also fired their anger.

The battle for Cherbourg has begun.

"Follow!"

Louis yelled, and he ran at the forefront, walking through the muddy swamp against the rain of German bullets.

The goal of Luke and others was to pass through the swampy position of the German army, then take down the bunker, and open the waterway below. In order to prevent the German army from blowing up the waterway, it is necessary to combine engineers and tanks to blow up a hole in the city wall.

After this action, even Logan felt terrified.

Everyone was lying in the muddy water, moving forward with difficulty. Luke was the best marksman in the team, and Louis also bought a new gun for Luke from the British army.

No.4Mk.I sniper rifle, it is the No.4 model of the Lee-Enfield rifle.

303 caliber, and killed him with a gun in his hand, which is why Luke can quickly accumulate military merits.

Bend down, raise your hand, and pull the trigger.

The machine gunner on the German position fell in response, and the big man next to him cursed, and then quickly picked up the machine gun.

And aimed the machine gun at Luke's position.

But the speed was a little too slow compared to Luke, and he pulled the trigger again, and the man fell limply.

The German position commander discovered this scene and hurriedly let someone take over, but it was too late, and Logan and Victor had already rushed into the enemy's position.

Fighting with the German army, and the German army in the bunker temporarily ceased fire, for fear of hitting their teammates.

Louis led the other team members to approach the bunker. Taking advantage of the darkness, several engineers skillfully placed the bomb at the hole dug.

"Boom!"

The air waves and shrapnel overturned everyone, Luke frowned, raised his gun and fired, and the German army at the entrance of the bunker fell from the window.

Luke quickly approached Louis and the others, and by the time he felt it, Louis and several others had already died, leaving only three additional recruits.

Luke went up and kicked them, leading them away from the German bunker window.

Said to be recruits, these three have also fought in battle, but this is the first time they have seen such a tragic situation.

The machine guns on the bunker rang again, because Logan and Victor had almost finished the German army in the position.

The German army in the bunker finally realized something was wrong and started shooting again. Luke led three recruits and began to look for shooting angles.

Take some pressure off the two of Logan.

The German positions were split between the air strikes and the American assault, not only unable to help each other, but also unable to support logistically.

The positions have become independent entities, and they can only rely on the machine guns and 88 anti-aircraft guns in the bunker.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Victor took off immediately after being bombed and hit the mud in the swamp. It was still dark, and the German army could not aim accurately. Victor was only hit by the edge of the artillery fire.

"No!"

Logan roared, and immediately wanted to check it out, but was interrupted by Luke.

"You three! Go and pull Victor over here!"

Luke ordered, then squatted down, clenched his hands, and nodded to Logan.

"what!"

Logan roared and stepped on Luke's hands. Luke suddenly lifted up. Logan stretched out his bone claws and inserted them into the gap in the solid wall in an instant.

The bone claw bears all of Logan's weight. The painful Logan kept yelling, but he still didn't stop moving forward.

"What are you still doing!"

Luke shouted, and then the three soldiers rushed to the position. The sky was dark, and with Logan on top of them, they all took Logan's bone claws as daggers they carried with them, and climbed up little by little.

Drilled into the hole of the bunker, pulled out the German army inside, and then threw it down hard.

In the blink of an eye, three soldiers carried Victor back who was still breathing.

"Take him, everyone climb up, and I will cover you below."

Luke held the gun and said, a thick hemp rope hung from the hole of the bunker, which was Logan's masterpiece.

The three of them tied Victor to his body without hesitation, and then climbed up a little bit. Luke hid in the dark and observed the surroundings. There may also be German snipers nearby.
