The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Due to the power outage, there are only three updates today. In a few days, the soldiers will have to invigilate the exams, and there may be two updates in a few days. During the holidays, there will be time for outbreaks.

With this mentality, the Japanese American troops were unable to attack the German defense line for a long time and suddenly saw a gap opening. Of course, they were unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Colonel Takada immediately gave an order on the walkie-talkie: "Advance towards Moultre immediately and rescue the friendly forces at all costs! Again, at all costs!"

Japanese American troops still maintained contact with the German troops on the front.

This is to delay the German army from reinforcing or filling the gap, and the offensive will also slow down... Since it is to delay the enemy, there is no need to fight too fiercely.

A reinforced battalion of Japanese American troops advanced toward Moultrie under the cover of more than twenty tanks. Fierce gunfire and artillery fire immediately rang out in the direction of their advance.

Qin Chuan and others still did not move. They were waiting for the best opportunity...when the Japanese American troops joined forces with the besieged American troops.

This situation is generally considered to be a time when the morale of the US military has been boosted, but it is also the most difficult time for the US military. To be precise, it is the most difficult time for the Japanese US military.

The reason is simple. The U.S. troops trapped in the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 141st Regiment in Moultrie have basically lost their combat effectiveness. There are also many wounded among them, which will become a burden on the Japanese U.S. troops.

What's more, Japanese American troops must do everything they can to protect the safety of these American soldiers... On the battlefield, saving people is definitely much more difficult than killing people.

Finally, several red signal flares slowly rose into the air, which meant that the Japanese American troops had entered Moultrey to join forces with the besieged American troops.

Colonel Slain immediately ordered: "Do it!"

The first thing to rise into the sky was a row of flares, which clearly illuminated more than a dozen tanks deployed by the US military in front of the defense line.

At this time, the ME63 flew towards these tanks with howls and wakes... In order to ensure that these tanks could be destroyed, each tank was equipped with two or three ME63s, and instantly there were lines of ME63 on the battlefield. The wake is like the ribbons thrown out at the opening of a ball.

Just hearing a series of roars, the "Sherman" tanks were destroyed one by one and burst into flames.

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of mortar shells was thrown in the direction of the Japanese American troops, until the moment when the illumination bomb lost its light and fell to the ground, the 1st Infantry Regiment suddenly jumped out of its hiding place, amid the cheers and cheers of the German soldiers in front. Encourage Chinese and North Korean Japanese American troops to launch a counterattack.

Before this, the German army had been suppressed by Japanese American troops, so they never expected that the German army would launch a counterattack. In addition, all the tanks responsible for covering or serving as bunkers were destroyed immediately. , and a commotion broke out in an instant.

However, the fighting spirit of the Japanese American troops is indeed extraordinary. If it were the American troops, they would have fled long ago in this situation. However, the Japanese American troops quickly reacted after a brief period of confusion, and then roared loudly. Fighting with bayonets drawn.

Japanese American Americans have the capital to fight. They are good at close combat, night fighting, and even better at fighting with bayonets. More importantly, they have the courage to fight at close range.

But this time they thought wrong.

The First Infantry Regiment has been fully equipped with STG44. The penetration and firepower sustainability of automatic rifles cannot be withstood by human sea tactics. This has been proved as early as when fighting the Soviet army on the Eastern Front.

So after a volley of bullets, the Japanese American troops fell to the ground like wooden stakes. After a row of grenades were thrown, the Japanese American troops were blown up and turned upside down.

Qin Chuan also participated in this attack.

The difference from the past is that at this time, he has replaced it with STG44.

Qin Chuan didn't know anything about STG44. He would also play with this rifle with his subordinates in his spare time.

The battlefield follows one principle: You should choose the right equipment at all times rather than good or favorite equipment.

For example, in this battle, it is foreseeable that there will be more close combat and night combat, and we are dealing with a group of stabbing masters. If you still choose a sniper rifle with a long range, a slow rate of fire and a long barrel at this time, it is purely for yourself. trouble.

The STG44 is indeed a bit uncomfortable to use, and Qin Chuan sometimes even habitually wants to pull the bolt after firing a bullet.

But Qin Chuan knew that he had to learn to adapt, because this was the reality of the battlefield.

"Ta-ta-ta!" Several bullets knocked the two Japanese American troops rushing towards Qinchuan to the ground.

Different from the continuous-fire submachine gun, the intermediate power bullet used by STG44 is just right.

If it is too powerful, it will be like a machine gun. Because the recoil is too great, it is basically impossible to hold it in your hand and charge forward flexibly.

If the power is too small, it will be like a submachine gun with no penetration and it will be difficult to stop the enemy's sea of ​​​​charges.

The medium-power bullets can theoretically penetrate the bodies of three people, which means that a group of enemies rushing up may be knocked down three rows in an instant.

Just like now, Japanese American troops fell in front of the German troops one after another. Some of them were knocked to the ground by bullets that passed through their bodies before they could even see where the German troops were.

"Load!" Qin Chuan shouted, and Keller who was beside him immediately took Qin Chuan's place, holding up the STG44 and shooting while moving forward. During the battle gap, he quickly ignited a grenade and threw it out.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Chuan loaded the magazine to provide cover for Keller.

The Japanese American troops finally collapsed under the German tactics and overwhelming firepower, turned around and fled into the darkness like a tide.

The Germans followed them and chased them for a while, then turned west and headed towards Highland 121.5.

It took ten minutes for the news to reach Colonel Takada's headquarters... The reason it took ten minutes was because the defeated Japanese army did not have time to report to the headquarters.

"What?" Colonel Takata asked after receiving the call: "The left wing of the Second Battalion was counterattacked by the enemy? They were ordered not to retreat and to die on the position, otherwise our rescue force will be surrounded by the enemy!"

"Colonel!" the staff reported: "They have been defeated. The Germans have launched a counterattack. The combat effectiveness is very strong. We cannot stop them!"

Colonel Takada's face suddenly turned pale. He knew what this meant. If the enemy continued to attack the flanks of the attack line to expand the results, not only would the 442nd Regiment suffer heavy casualties, but the rescue force would also be surrounded by the Germans together with the besieged American troops.

The latter is the most important, because it means that the mission has failed, and Colonel Takada's hope of using this battle to exchange for the dignity and freedom of the Japanese will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Colonel Takada gritted his teeth, took off the armed belt from the wall and buckled it on himself, then stood up and said to the staff: "Fukuyama-kun, get the first battalion ready for battle!"

"Colonel..."

"I will lead them myself!" Colonel Takada said: "If we cannot win, bury us here!"
