Chapter 253 Invisible things are floating around the body

The German wounded soldier said: "I am just a soldier, and I am at the forefront of the assault. I really don't know the exact location of the division headquarters. We have been retreating from the front, and the location of the division headquarters has been changed again and again." full of unease.He was upset because he didn't answer the other person's question.

Winters nodded.

What the wounded soldier said was not wrong. During the war, soldiers were at the forefront, and it was normal not to know the exact location of the division headquarters.

Winters thought for a while: "How many troops are left in your division?"

"Our infantry division is equipped with 13000 officers and soldiers. Under the impact of the Allied forces, our division suffered heavy casualties. There are still about 7000 people in our division."

Winters was taken aback. Allied intelligence officers said that the German infantry division was beaten to only 3000 people left, and the soldier said that they had 7000 people left. Could it be that the Allied intelligence was wrong?
If the German army really has 7000 troops left, then this is terrible.

After repeated fierce battles in Normandy and Omaha Beach, the casualties of the 101st Airborne Division were not small. At present, there are no more than 1 people left at most, and there are no heavy weapons. Facing a German infantry division with 7000 soldiers with heavy weapons, If there is a strong attack, the loss will be staggering.

Winters still said indifferently: "7000 people? According to the intelligence of the Allied Forces, there are at least 10000 people left in your division. There is a big discrepancy?!"

"There are really only 7000 people left." The German soldier said with affirmation and hesitation: "Before the Allied forces landed in Normandy, more than 3000 soldiers from our infantry division were transferred to other places to assist the brother troops in defense until the Allied forces landed in Normandy. The army landed in Normandy, and these more than 3000 people returned from elsewhere.”

Winters looked at the wounded German soldiers and nodded, "What's your password tonight!"

"101st Airborne Division!"

The German wounded soldier said without hesitation.

Waiters was stunned, this password is really weird, actually use the number of the enemy's troops as the password.

However, Winters could see that the wounded German soldier answered without thinking, knowing that it was absolutely right: "Do you have any other requests?"

The wounded German soldier shook his head, his face was pale and his expression was miserable.

Winters nodded towards Li Dazui.

Zhao Fugui covered the wounded German soldier's mouth with one hand and his eyes with the other.

Li Dazui's bayonet pierced the German soldier's heart.

After a few symbolic struggles, the wounded German soldier died.

Winters checked his watch.

4:20 am.

"We must tell the division headquarters about the German increase!" Winters said, "It won't be long before the entire division of the 101st Airborne Division will launch a full-scale attack on the German troops stationed across the river.

Once the battle started, the division's offensive formation based on erroneous information would not have time to adjust and change. Facing the German defensive formation, which suddenly doubled its strength, our army's casualties would increase exponentially. "

Faced with Winters' uneasiness, Yan Zhi thought for a few seconds: "I think that even if the division headquarters knows that the German devils have increased their troops, it is impossible to stop the attack.

For the growing number of Confederate troops who had landed on Omaha Beach were now congregating on the shoreline.

If our 101st Airborne Division cannot quickly open this passage, then the attacking troops behind will be blocked.

Once the Germans calm down and throw a large number of fighter jets and bombers on the beach, the casualties of the Allied forces will be immeasurable.

Therefore, General Eisenhower will definitely order the 101st Airborne Division to break through the position currently defended by the Germans at all costs and open up this forward attack corridor. "

Winters nodded.

Yan Zhi's analysis was correct.In order to open this offensive corridor, even if the entire 101st Airborne Division is sacrificed, the Allied Army Headquarters will not hesitate.

Yan Zhi: "What our 101st Airborne Division lacks most is heavy weapons, so the division headquarters ordered our two companies to take advantage of the fog to cross the river, pull out the enemy's few forward positions that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then launch a quick strike. Make quick decisions, and do not enter into offensive or defensive battles with the enemy.

As long as we can find the location of the enemy's division headquarters, when our division launches a full-scale attack, we will suddenly appear inside the German army and kill the German division headquarters, which will quickly disintegrate the German army's combat effectiveness from the inside.

The German army without the headquarters lost its combat effectiveness like a tiger whose teeth and claws had been pulled out. It would immediately be defeated and surrendered. "

Winters nodded again and again. Major Yan's analysis was very thorough. There are many ways to command the generals on the battlefield, but the outstanding soldiers will always be the winners and losers on the battlefield.

As long as the more than 100 soldiers of the Independent Company and the E Company can win the enemy's division headquarters by surprise, let alone the German army has 7000 soldiers, even if there are 17000 soldiers, the macaques will collapse in an instant, and the army will be defeated! !

While talking, the four came to the third floor with flashlights.

There are no German corpses on the third floor yet, but the space has been cleaned out, and all the furniture has been moved to a corner.

It is possible that the German soldiers transporting the corpses felt that it was more difficult to move the corpses up to the third floor, so they piled the corpses densely on the ground floor and the second floor.

Dead man sinks, sinks dead man.

Zhao Fugui had carried corpses before, and dead people were much harder to carry than living people. If he wanted to carry a corpse from the ground floor to the third floor, the two soldiers who carried the corpse would be exhausted.

The dead bodies on the battlefield have various postures. After some soldiers died, their limbs spread out, and they were so stiff that they could fill the entire staircase.

Yan Zhi judged that this building should be just one of the buildings where the German army kept the dead bodies, and there should be places where the dead bodies were parked elsewhere.

Of the 13000 soldiers, there are 7000 left. The 6000 corpses are all piled up here, and there is no room for them.

This building is relatively tall, compared with the buildings next to it, it feels a bit out of the crowd.

Standing on the edge of the window on the third floor and looking into the distance, the surrounding area was shrouded in a thick gray fog, and the deployment of the German army could not be seen at all.

After the four of them discussed this, they decided to go to the river to bring the soldiers here immediately, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Judging by the remaining space on the ground floor and the second floor, the Germans will not move the corpses to the third floor for the time being.

There is no fierce fighting between the two sides now, and even if some soldiers died under the sniper guns of the other side, the number is not many.

So Yan Zhi and the others decided to bring over the soldiers from the two companies and temporarily hide on the third floor.

The task of bringing the soldiers back was given to Zhao Fugui. He remembered the twists and turns when he came.

Li Dazui waited and monitored the German devils on the third floor. When Zhao Fugui brought the soldiers over, he had to make sure that no devils had been caught near the building before the soldiers could go upstairs.

When Li Dazui heard that he was going to wait on the third floor, he was unwilling to kill him.

Although he had rolled countless times in the pile of dead people, he really didn't have the guts to let him be with thousands of corpses downstairs on such a terrifying night.

He was afraid that after he bit the bullet and agreed, when the three officers left, he would pee his pants in fright, but he would not dare to go downstairs, and then he would be frightened to death.

This ghostly place, let alone let him wait again, even if the four of them are on the third floor, Li Dazui always feels that there is something invisible wandering around him.
