MTL - Jagged Germany-Chapter 1720 Not allowed to retreat (ask for a monthly ticket)

  The battle was very fierce, and all kinds of weapons on both sides were firing crazily. The dense bullets enveloped the enemy like a violent storm. Every moment someone dies in battle, losing their life.

"Da da da!"

  An anti-aircraft machine gun is frantically firing at a general-purpose helicopter of the German army. This anti-aircraft machine gun had been concealed before, and the German army did not expect that there would be a firepower point that could shoot into the air.

   Without noticing for a while, the general-purpose helicopter was directly smashed into a honeycomb. The crew members inside were killed on the spot, and the plane lost control and fell directly to the ground, turning into a pile of scrap iron.

  Although under the attack of the US anti-aircraft weapons and rocket launchers, the German helicopter units lost a lot. Constantly shot down with helicopters. However, these German helicopters also relied on their powerful firepower to cause heavy losses to the US troops on the ground. Even, they were once suppressed.

  And this also won a favorable opportunity for the German army crossing the river.

  The river less than 50 meters wide can be rowed quickly. It's just that under the intensive firepower of the US military before, the casualties of the troops were a bit heavy. Now the firepower of the US military was suppressed, and the small wooden boats of the German army rushed to the beach on the other side of the river.

  German soldiers jumped from small wooden boats, and some were killed by oncoming machine gun or rifle bullets. But more German soldiers successfully lay down on the beach, using automatic rifles and machine guns in their hands to shoot at the US troops. For a while, the bullets on the beach were as dense as rain.

   "Mortar, kill the American heavy machine gun!" A German second lieutenant ordered.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   Two mortar shells flew out of the barrel in succession, and in the blink of an eye, the shells fell on the firepower point of the heavy machine gun of the US military. The entire firepower point of the heavy machine gun was blown to pieces in the explosion, and the heavy machine gun was even blown into parts.

   "Attack!"

  After the US firepower was destroyed, the German army immediately launched an offensive.

  When more and more German troops crossed the St. Croix River, rushed onto the river beach, and under the cover of fire from their own helicopters, attacked the US positions. As the firepower points of the US military were knocked out one after another, the firepower of the US defense line became weaker and weaker. Under such circumstances, it became very difficult for the US military to resist the German attack. Casualties are also rising. And such a tragic battle was undoubtedly too cruel for the American soldiers who had just stepped onto the battlefield.

  German Army Group B has fought on the Russian battlefield for more than a year. Most of the soldiers are veterans who have gone through **** battles. Therefore, they are used to such battles. But American soldiers are different. The usual training is not live ammunition. But the current battlefield is completely different. Once hit, it will really kill me.

  In such a situation, some weak-willed soldiers were frightened. They turned around and tried to escape. But before he could escape a few steps, he was hit by a stray bullet and fell to the ground.

   "Idiot! If you run away at this time, you will only be beaten to death by the Germans." An American officer scolded.

   "Attention everyone, don't retreat! Without an order, retreating will be regarded as a deserter and will be sent to a military court!" The US military officer ordered with a serious face.

  Although, they all know that it is very difficult to resist the German attack. However, the soldiers are still required to continue to persevere. Even if he sacrificed his own life because of this, he would not hesitate.

  Toppersfield, the headquarters of the US Fifth Army. It is only ten kilometers away from the front line. If this command hadn't been hidden in a forest, it might have been torn apart by Luftwaffe fighter planes long ago.

"General, the 43rd Infantry Division and the 44th Infantry Division report that they have suffered heavy losses under the fierce German attack and are about to lose their hold. We request that we send more reinforcements to reinforce them." A major officer Report to Lieutenant General Lucien Truscott, commander of the 5th Army.

  Lieutenant General Lucien Truscott frowned tightly.

   "Asshole, the Germans' offensive has just begun. After less than an hour, they can't hold on anymore?" Lieutenant General Lucian Truscott cursed.

   You must know that after the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Army, and the heavy damage to the 3rd and 4th Army, the 5th Army can already be regarded as the most elite unit of the U.S. Army. But now, the performance of the troops is so unbearable, which makes Lucien Truscott very dissatisfied.

   "General, the Germans dispatched a large number of planes and helicopters to attack our positions. Under their suppression, we lost a lot." The officer explained.

   "What about the Sixth Army?" Lieutenant General Lucien Truscott asked.

   This line of defense is jointly defended by the US 5th Army and the 6th Army. It is precisely because it is speculated that the German army may use this line of defense as a key line of defense for breakthroughs, so the US Army deployed the two most powerful group armies here. I hope they can withstand the German attack on the battlefield in one fell swoop.

   "General, the situation on the side of the Sixth Army is not optimistic. However, they have issued an order not to take a step back. The troops on the front line are holding on." The officer said.

"Very well, even the 6th Army has issued an order not to retreat. Then, we also issued an order not to retreat. Front-line troops are not allowed to retreat without receiving the order. Otherwise, military law Deal with it!" Lieutenant General Lucien Truscott ordered.

   "Yes, General." The officer replied. At the same time, I mourn in silence for those robes on the front line. Under such circumstances, they must be in danger.

  However, although Lieutenant General Lucien Truscott issued a cruel order not to retreat. But at the same time, troops were also deployed to reinforce the front line. He didn't want the troops on the front line to collapse easily. In that case, it would be difficult to explain to the General Staff.

  Under strict orders, the U.S. troops on the front line had no choice but to choose to fight to the end. However, under the fierce attack of the German army, the casualties of the US military increased. Many lines of defense have been breached by the German army. A fierce hand-to-hand battle has even broken out.

  The entire line of defense was already in jeopardy under the onslaught of the German army. Being broken through is only a matter of time.
