Chapter Thirteen: War Creates Madmen

  "Be careful! I hope you come back alive!" This was the most sincere sentence David had ever said to Lin Bena.

  "Damn it! I hate you saying that!" Lin Borna turned his back, but his eyes were somewhat moist. Lin Borna shook his head with a bitter smile, finally holding back the sorrow and not letting his voice change tone. "Buddies! Follow me for a few steps!"

  Several soldiers did not disappoint Linberne, stood up and wanted to execute such a dangerous task with Linberne. Linberne nodded at these people without saying anything.

  "Change your clothes and guns! Hurry up, comrades! Lieutenant Konti is waiting for us!"

  The ground was littered with corpses of both sides, and Linberna and several American soldiers casually found a few German corpses that were similar in build to themselves, stripped them off, tidied up a bit, and then disappeared into the night with Linberna.

  My battle with the Germans attracted their attention, and Linberna and a few others wearing German uniforms easily passed through the highway, swaggering into the valley. Although they encountered several groups of Germans on the road, the Germans just glanced at them casually and hurried to the front line, not even giving Linberna and his men a second glance, perhaps thinking that they were going back to the rear to perform some other task.

  Linnemann and his men strolled into the valley, the German guards didn't recognize them as Americans in disguise, they just looked them up and down, one of the older Germans even asked a question out of habit.

  "Which unit is this? What's going on here?"

  This sentence suddenly scared Lin Borna out of a cold sweat, although it was just an ordinary inquiry, but Lin Borna did not dare to answer casually, and his hand involuntarily tightened on the gun, ready to make a strong break at any moment.

  It wasn't Linberna and David, who would have thought that the German army would ask such a question. The overnight battle had caused both sides to become disorganized, with troops and commanders being replaced one after another. No one could guarantee answering according to their original unit number. There was no way to anticipate what questions would be asked, they could only decide to take it one step at a time, trying their best to bluff their way through, even if it was just for five minutes. Linberna was considering how to answer the German soldier's question when a young German soldier interrupted from the side.

  "Hey, did you guys come from up front?"

  Lin Bona looked at him and nodded without a word!

  "Those Amis want to run away! Major Ross commands you, don't know how the battle is going?" The young German soldier asked again.

  Lin Bona secretly rejoiced in his heart, but deliberately sighed and said: "Damn Americans, fighting extremely stubbornly! Major Ross called me to come here to find you! By the way, where is your superior?"

  The young German soldier nodded towards the storage room behind him. "Officer Lasiri is in there! See, it's just by our machine gun, you can find them over there!"

  Lin Borna inexplicably felt a little grateful to this German soldier and said: "Thanks, buddy!"

  "For Hitler, for Germany!"

  Lindbergh smiled quietly and said, "For Hitler, for Germany!" After finishing speaking, he gave a German military salute to the young German soldier and was about to walk into the valley. The older German soldier, however, did not stop him, but instead glared fiercely at the younger German soldier beside him, and then stopped asking questions.

  Lin Borna and the soldiers following him couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After passing the checkpoint at the valley, no one came to ask Lin Borna anything again. Lin Borna quietly adjusted his weapons and ammunition, then rushed straight to the storage room in the valley. Before he even reached the door, he was stopped once more.

  "Which unit is this? What's going on here?"

  Lindbergh learned from the garrulous German soldier on the sentry post a moment before that the Germans were in a precarious situation, and so he answered readily: "Major Rossi has sent me to find Colonel Lacy!"

  The German guard at the door saw that Linberna had spoken correctly to both officers, and no longer asked questions. He shouted into the house: "Lieutenant Lassiri! Major Ross has sent someone to find you!"

  A loud and clear voice came from inside the house: "Let him in!"

  "Go on in! Lieutenant Lasiri is inside!" The German guard at the door smiled and said to Linberna.

  Ling Bo Na and several US soldiers disguised as German troops wanted to go in together, but were blocked by the guard at the door, saying: "You can go in, the others will wait outside!"

  Ling Bo Na nodded to Monkatz and others behind him, using his body to block the guard's line of sight. Ling Bo Na smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder!" Suddenly, Ling Bo Na showed a terrified expression behind the guard. The German guard immediately turned around to look back. Monkatz quickly went up, covering the guard's mouth with one hand, and cut off the guard's throat with a dagger. The guard was pinned down by Monkatz, unable to move, with only a hissing sound coming from his slit throat. In an instant, the guard suffered severe hypoxia, his eyes bulged out, convulsed violently once, and then became still.

  Lindbergh and Moncada carefully looked around, finding that the Germans had not noticed the movement here. The two then carefully propped the guard against the wall with a rifle, and Lindbergh deliberately shouted loudly to Moncada and others: "Everyone stay here, we'll be back on the front line in a while!"

  Lin Borna slightly checked the MP40 submachine gun he got from the German at the door. The MP40 was the most widely used and best performing submachine gun of the German army during World War II, with a firing rate of 500 rounds per minute, enough to empty the 32-round magazine in two seconds. In close combat, this submachine gun was absolutely a nightmare for the enemy.

  Linn Berna entered the house, only to see five Germans inside, three of whom were machine gunners crouched beside their guns, ready to fire at any moment. Another German officer with a very rough appearance was leaning over a makeshift desk made of several wooden planks, writing something, while the radio operator next to him was constantly contacting the outside world. This was undoubtedly the small command center of the German army in the valley.

  Lindbergh stepped forward, gave Lieutenant Vasily a once-over and said: "Report to Lieutenant Rassily! Major Ross sent me to tell you that since our reinforcements are arriving any minute now, the Americans' defeat is certain, there's no need to hold onto the wheat field position anymore. He orders you to take your men and go reinforce him immediately!"

  "Right away, sir! My unit will depart at once!"

  Lin Berna's heart was secretly delighted. If the Germans really withdrew from the valley, it would be a victory for Lin Berna and David's strike team to occupy the valley without firing a single shot. Suddenly, Lasi Li military officer seemed to think of something and stared at Lin Berna.

  "Who are you? I don't recall ever seeing you around Major Ross. What happened to Major Ross's orderly, Lieutenant Urban?"

  Lieutenant Ebner was originally put down, and his heart secretly rose again. "Lieutenant Ebner was hit by a stray bullet from the Americans. Major Ross saw that I was by his side and promoted me!"

  "Oh, I see!" Lieutenant Laxiri nodded, his body which had originally stood up slowly sat back down, but his right hand quietly moved towards the gun holster.

  Lindbergh suddenly came to his senses, the German had already tested himself and was not Major Ross's man! Lindbergh kicked over Lacy's table with one foot, and the German officer's movement of secretly reaching for his pistol was interrupted, falling to the ground. The sudden change left the German soldiers in the room still unaware of what had happened, and Lindbergh's submachine gun didn't give the Germans in the room any chance to react, "Rat-a-tat-tat" a burst of fire, and the Germans in the room went to see the great God.

  "Quick! Inside!" Lin Berna shouted at Monka and others outside the house.

  Monk and others rushed into the house, immediately manipulating the German MG42 to open fire on the Germans who swarmed in after hearing the gunfire. The devilish sound of "Hehe" was directed at the Germans!

  David on the outskirts of the valley suddenly heard the sound of Lin Bernal's gunshots inside the valley, and without even considering it, he rushed towards the valley.

  "Charge! Charge!"

  The sudden pincer movement threw the Germans into chaos, and David's several charges resulted in over a dozen German casualties. In just an instant, the German troops guarding the valley were almost wiped out. The young German soldier who was on guard at the sentry post, however, had unfortunately been killed in David's first charge, his eyes still fixed on the direction of the valley as he died with his eyes open.

  Lindbergh and Monk emerged from the house, panting heavily. Before David could speak, Lindbergh said: "Quick! Take advantage of the Germans' slow reaction and continue attacking them according to plan!"

  "Damn it, Berna and David! I want to skin them alive! How come we still haven't taken down the valley?" Now I have an urge to shoot Berna and David, as the tug-of-war between both sides continues, with Josen gradually closing in on me, the German attack is becoming more and more fierce. It's making me feel like I won't be able to hold out, if things continue like this, not only will Berna fail to occupy the valley and strike at the Germans' weak point again, but I also won't have enough strength to launch a decisive counterattack. Just Josen and Berna's troops, at most they'll make the Germans suffer a big loss at first, but once the Germans adjust their deployment, they'll definitely encircle Berna's men and devour them bit by bit. By then, except for me, Jones, and Bruce who can escape, everyone else will be left behind!

  Boom! Behind the Germans came the sound of explosions and the familiar rattle of Browning machine guns.

  "Damn it! They've finally arrived! Brothers, hit me!"

  Lindemann's sudden attack caught the German troops off guard once again. The German commander had apparently not anticipated that the valley would be lost, but he did not panic in the face of my and Lindemann's pincer movement. He immediately organized his troops to take advantage of the terrain and resist on the spot, hoping that the arrival of the fake relief troops I had arranged under Josen could turn around this unfavorable situation.

  But the German commander had no idea that the real vanguard of the 29th Panzer Division was not coming, but a trap I set for them. This is not to say that the Germans were stupid, but in this continuous and intense battle, anyone would think that their reinforcements would arrive at any moment, and the enemy would take advantage of this brief respite to launch a surprise attack on themselves. If I were in the German position, except perhaps at the beginning, I would also be deceived as the situation developed, and with Josen's true and false fire against American troops, I would unknowingly be fooled. Moreover, the German commander had already received notification from the German high command that the 29th Panzer Division was coming to support him, so he did not suspect Josen's fake reinforcements at all.

  I and Lin Borna's pincer movement, absolutely for Joessen's raid, provided a favorable situation. Joessen wore the German army uniform, allowing him to be easily put into the German defense line without any effort. A German lieutenant saw Joessen's arrival, chattered in his mouth, and ordered Joessen to immediately deploy defenses towards the valley. Joessen couldn't understand what the German officer was saying, so he took advantage of the lieutenant's unguardedness, took a fierce step forward, and slammed the rifle butt into the lieutenant's face with a loud "crack". The wooden rifle butt violently collided with the lieutenant's nose and face, instantly knocking him out, bleeding profusely.

  “Fire!Fire!”

  Chaos's sudden attack was a huge blow to the morale of the Germans! German soldiers, apart from their own comrades, could no longer distinguish between friend and foe, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.

  "The German is done for! Counterattack! Counterattack! Wipe out the Germans!" There was no better opportunity to annihilate the Germans than this, and I and my officers almost simultaneously issued the order for a general counterattack.

  The triple attack caused the German defense line, hastily set up by the Germans, to immediately shake and totter. Especially with Josen's sabotage, it made the Germans unable to cope with both ends, and with just one charge, the Germans immediately dispersed! They were defeated, thoroughly defeated! The German commander had already reached the end of his tether, and in the face of the dispersing German soldiers, he was also powerless.

  Whether in ancient battlefields or modern warfare, when a large number of enemy soldiers were killed, most of them were in the pursuit and killing of defeated soldiers. This kind of fight where just a few people can chase after a group of enemy soldiers can already be considered as one-sided slaughter. Although many German soldiers chose to surrender when surrounded by American troops, the D Company soldiers who had been enraged to the point of madness actually opened fire on the surrendered German soldiers!

  War has no mercy, war only creates a group of madmen! D Company's frantic drive, frantic slaughter, all the terror and excitement of this night, through this extreme release, to ease everyone's nerves!

  "Don't Fire! Cease fire!"

  To be honest, I don't want to see D Lian's crazy appearance, nor do I want to imagine that if one day I am captured by the Germans, I will receive today's German military treatment. Because I want to accumulate some virtue in China's Yanwang God, and accumulate some Chinese people's virtues!

  Germans throughout World War II, except for the treatment of Soviet, Jewish and other individual national prisoners of war, were not as harsh as rumored in their treatment of American and some European country's prisoners of war. On the contrary, Hitler's command had strictly ordered German troops to treat Allied prisoners of war according to the Geneva Convention. Later, when the Allies reciprocated the humanitarian treatment of German prisoners of war by following the Geneva Convention, this was also the reason why the German army preferred to surrender to the Allies rather than the Soviet Union after witnessing their defeat.

  The pursuit battle went very smoothly, and the German army in the entire village of Wervicq was thoroughly defeated. The anti-aircraft guns deployed by the Germans here were also completely destroyed! In more than half an hour, the fighting stopped quickly, with dozens of German prisoners alone, not to mention countless weapons. Time waits for no man, the German reinforcements will arrive soon, I got a barrel of gasoline from the destroyed truck, set it on fire, and then quickly issued the retreat order! As for these German prisoners, they may organize again to fight against the Allies, but what does that have to do with me? The Germans are doomed to fail!
