"There is also only one regiment of Germans in Cavazon!"
Kurogane's words surprised Peter: "How do you know?"
"I just interrogated the German officer Mark An." Heitie said calmly: "The Germans have used their main forces to attack Paris. Whether in Pechison or Cavasson, their defensive strength is very strong.
Weakness. In fact, there is another very important point. There are not many supplies in Cavazon, and the Germans are already very short of supplies."
Jiante was a little surprised.
He was not surprised by Cavasson's weak defense, but was shocked by the incompetence of his own intelligence system.
Cavasson obviously doesn't have much strategic material anymore, but what are those intelligence people doing there? Are those staff officers also putting their heads on their own butts?
Because of this inexplicable battle order, he lost many soldiers, even Colonel Danny was killed!
damn it!
"Go back, go back!" Pete said, waving his fist.
"We can't go back." Kurogane said suddenly.
Peter was a little surprised: "Why, it's not worth destroying there!"
Heitie smiled coldly: "Yes, it is not worth destroying there, but this is an order from above. You are the "Insurmountable Pete" rather than the Pete who does not carry out the order. And seizing Cavazon can also serve for
Your honor adds even more brilliance."
Pete understood, completely understood.
Go and capture Cavazon and add an even more "glorious" touch to your "glorious" combat career.
Fuck the staff, fuck the combat orders. With the Pechison Line of defense broken through, there was nothing hindering the Dichuan Brigade and the 17th Brigade commanded by Pitt.
The soldiers didn't know the "real" situation, but Peter knew it all too well.
Using two fully equipped brigades to defeat one German regiment may be difficult, but the victory is conceivable.
Just as Peter thought, when two brigades of American troops arrived at Cavasson, the German soldiers who were far outnumbered still showed their tenacious fighting power.
They tenaciously defended the enemy's attack on their crude positions. Every step forward by the US military had to pay a heavy price. The determination of the Germans to resist was completely unimaginable by the Americans.
The American soldiers were shouting and shouting, and the scene seemed a bit chaotic.
Almost half of the people in Malone's vanguard were killed, and even his arm was scratched by bullets, which made Malone look very embarrassed when he appeared in front of Peter.
"Colonel, damn the Germans, all my soldiers are going to die!"
"But you are not dead yet, Second Lieutenant Malone, continue to perform your duties!"
Malone had never seen Pete lose his temper before, so he stayed there for a while and ran out quickly.
The marksmanship of those damn Germans was so accurate that as soon as an American soldier showed up, a precise bullet would pass through their head or any vital part of their body.
Most of the corpses lying on the ground were American.
Those soldiers who thought they had participated in the battle only now know what is the truly cruelest war and what is the horror of death.
The God of Death is waving his scythe everywhere on the battlefield, harvesting the life of anyone he likes anytime, anywhere.
For the first time, American soldiers found themselves so helpless and insignificant on the battlefield.
If the Germans had enough bullets, they could even kill two entire brigades of American soldiers here.
An injured American soldier wailed in pain there. Two companions tried to rescue him, but instead they became targets of the Germans.
The bullet pierced their hearts. The injured American did not die, but his companions left this world first.
This cruel battlefield, this terrible battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield seemed so funny. The U.S. military far exceeded the German army in terms of numbers and weapons and ammunition, but it was the U.S. military that was completely suppressed.
Heitie pulled the bolt of the gun and kept spraying bullets out of the barrel. He was already numb and indifferent.
Before coming to the United States, he tried his best to turn these American soldiers into real soldiers, but later, he had to give up such efforts.
Only the most cruel battlefield can make them understand the rules of survival on the battlefield.
He saw several Germans tiptoeing toward him. He took out two grenades, pulled the fuses, and threw them out with all his strength.
"Boom, boom" two explosions sounded, knocking down the German soldiers.
This soon led to retaliatory fire from the Germans.
A dense burst of bullets came, and Heitie hid behind a big tree. As soon as he turned his head, another rapid hail of bullets came, almost hitting him.
At this time, gunshots also rang out on his left wing, helping him suppress the German bullets. Black Iron took the opportunity to duck out of this dangerous place.
It's Pete.
"Iron!" Pete shouted: "Damn it, we have to rush over!"
"Machine guns, gather all the machine guns!" Black Iron roared angrily: "We have the advantage in weapons, machine guns, gather the machine guns quickly and suppress the Germans!"
It's as sharp as waking up from a dream.
Almost all the machine guns that could be found were concentrated together, and then with an order, a dense rain of bullets flew towards the Germans headlessly.
This trick worked as expected. The German positions that had been noisy just now soon lost their say on the battlefield under the heavy rain of American bullets.
The Americans, who had been suppressed all this time, suddenly became excited and fired all their guns at the same time, venting their excitement and anger towards the German positions without any regard.
The grenades were thrown out one after another, and the "rumbling" explosion drowned everything out.
Confidence is the most elusive and uncertain thing on the battlefield, but it is also the most effective thing.
But now, Americans' emotions have been completely aroused.
They shouted and used the suppressive advantage of machine guns to tear a large hole in the German army's originally tight defense line.
"For America, go for it!"
“God protects America!”
Voices rang out one by one, and all the American soldiers emerged from their hiding places, and then rushed forward densely.
Until this time, the Germans still showed their tenacity!
The German army, which was far smaller in number than its opponent, started a hand-to-hand battle with the American army without fear.
The battlefield returned to the cold weapon era in the blink of an eye.
This is an unfair duel.
It is recorded in the memoirs of Pete, the commander of the U.S. Army's Dichuan Brigade: "...Both we and the Germans showed extraordinary courage. It was the first time for many of our soldiers to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Many people didn't even know how to use the bayonet, but they still charged at the enemy. I saw with my own eyes a black American boy who killed a German, but soon a damn bayonet pierced his body.
, he struggled hard to get up, but soon more bayonets fell on him, his body had countless transparent holes, blood flowed everywhere around him, and he died...
…
The performance of the Germans is also worthy of respect. They are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but this does not affect their determination to fight to the end. I must honestly say that if the numbers are not much different, then this battle will
The winner of the battle should belong to our enemies in no way. Their performance on the battlefield was far more outstanding than ours. God protects the United States. The Germans had no reinforcements. Although they showed their outstanding side, they
The number of people was getting smaller and smaller, until we completely controlled the battlefield. After our repeated requests and persuasion, they put down their weapons and finally chose to surrender. They could leave here with their heads held high and arrogantly.
In my eyes, I am the winner. I won by relying on the superiority of numbers, which is not worthy of respect. I think it may be the same. In front of the German soldiers, we seem a bit insignificant...
Some people once said that by the time the fighting reached 1918, German soldiers had completely lost their confidence and courage to continue fighting, but I think this is completely nonsense. On the battlefield, the Germans showed their perseverance and tenacity. Until the last moment,
They will never surrender."
Pete and his American soldiers were victorious.
In Cavazon, they killed more than 300 Germans and captured a large number of German soldiers. They captured Cavasson according to the "battle plan" formulated by the bastards in the staff department and annihilated all the people here.
Defend the enemy.
The U.S. Expeditionary Forces Command has never disclosed how much strategic materials Cavazon stores for the Germans. They have only repeatedly preached the "great significance" of capturing Cavasson for the entire battlefield. It seems that it was precisely because of capturing Cavasson.
, thus shattering the German attack.
Pete was awarded a medal, and Danny and the American soldiers who died were also commended, and their "heroic deeds" were spread throughout Europe and the United States.
Only Pete knew what happened inside. When he reported everything about Cavassone to Pershing, the commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Force said after pondering for a long time: "No,
There are a lot of German supplies there. The Germans were defeated precisely because of our bravery. At least we won, Colonel Pitt. Isn't it so rare?"
Pete didn't know what to say.
I am so lucky. Success after success has cast too much halo over me, but what about those who died? Who is responsible for them, and who should bear this responsibility?
