Chapter 65: The Crushed Human Body

  ument.write(

  The German Panzer IV didn't scare me, I just didn't want my soldiers to die too much. Since he wanted to charge over, I actually had a mind to let him come, and set up a pocket for him to drill into. However, considering the upcoming arrival of Lieutenant Walker, my forces would soon have an absolute advantage again. Also, whether the Germans would fall into my trap or not, I wasn't sure. If my plan went wrong, this redeployment adjustment would give the Germans a chance to bite me back, which would be a loss. Since reinforcements were arriving soon, my decision was to hold out first, blunt the German's momentum, and wait for Lieutenant Walker's support to arrive. The attacking Germans would have to retreat then, and I would cling to them tightly, letting them taste the feeling of being chased and beaten!

  I looked at the German No. 4 tank about a hundred meters away under the protection of German infantry and said to the tank soldier, "Why can't you knock him out?"

  The tank soldier smiled wryly and told me, "Captain, it's not that we can't take him down! Look at this guy, he's definitely a veteran. His vehicle is always facing us head-on, and most of his body is hidden behind those ruins! Our cannon doesn't have even half a chance of hitting him!"

  I took a look at the location of the German No. 4 tank and said: "If he comes out, what will you do?"

  "Let's see who's faster and luckier!" The tank soldier only said this one sentence and stopped talking.

  I nodded and said, "Good luck to us!"

  "Thanks, Captain!"

  John's machine guns and mortars, as well as the tank's multiple powerful volleys, made it difficult for the German soldiers to move forward. After several consecutive deaths, Major Fuerd began to lose his composure. Major Fuerd started repositioning the tanks, leaving their previous advantageous cover, taking a risk to push forward again in order to provide closer support and allow his infantry assault troops to receive better firepower support.

  John's Browning machine gun went rat-a-tat-tat against the tank's armor, producing nothing but sparks and no damage. John turned around yelling: "Tank! I need to take out that tank!"

  Two Sherman tanks immediately rushed out of the defensive position and began to attack the German No. 4 tank. Major Feld at this time, except for a sigh in his heart that if he had one more tank to command, he would definitely have the confidence to break through the US military blockade if coordinated well. At this time, Feld had to order the tank gunner to aim at the first Sherman tank that opened fire.

  "Fire!"

  “fire！”

  Boom! Boom! Two tanks fired at the same time.

  "Sir, the enemy tank has been destroyed! But our commander and driver are dead!" The radio operator shouted to Fuerd.

  "What? How's the tank cannon?" Feld was dazed by the previous tank shell and looked at the dead driver in the front seat, directly asking others.

  "The tank cannon can still be used!" The heavily injured gunner replied with difficulty.

  "Load! Load!"

  The remaining Sherman tank saw the German No. 4 tank was only heavily damaged under the protection of the turret armor skirt, and immediately fired another shot, but it did not penetrate!

  Feld took the opportunity to counterattack, firing a shell that missed its target. It turned out that his sighting system had been destroyed in the previous heavy blow and was now useless. The Sherman tank crew knew they had just escaped death's clutches, but they didn't have time to celebrate. With cold sweat on their faces, they quickly fired another shot. This armor-piercing shell hit the German tank, and its turret seemed to be ripped off by an invisible giant hand, spewing out thick black smoke as it tilted to one side. Only then was the German Panzer IV completely destroyed!

  John didn't care who was in the No. 4 tank, seeing the opponent's tank being destroyed by his own tank, he immediately seized the opportunity to shout: "Counterattack! Counterattack!"

  The Sherman tank saw that its arch-nemesis had been destroyed and immediately charged out thoroughly, starting to roll over the German soldiers with its tracks!

  John followed behind the tank, waving his rifle and shouting at the soldiers: "All of you charge forward! All of you charge forward!"

  The German soldiers saw that Major Virden was dead in the tank, and a German army lieutenant immediately took command and shouted loudly to the surrounding soldiers: "Rocket launcher! Rocket launcher! Take it down for me!"

  John didn't know what the German was saying, but that didn't stop John from firing at him. With a loud "ping", the German lieutenant fell to the ground.

  An American soldier saw it and shouted for John: "Captain John killed the German commander!"

  John also had a bit of pride, involuntarily looking in my direction, watching me control the heavy machine gun and desperately firing at the Germans. Some careless German soldiers fell under the machine gun. John just took one look and lost his spirit! John suddenly remembered the nickname the soldiers gave me behind my back, and resentfully cursed: "A ruffian is a ruffian! He kills people without blinking!"

  Ropps had already received the news of Feld's death, although Feld destroyed two US tanks and caused dozens of casualties to American soldiers. However, Feld's death undoubtedly caused the greatest loss to Ropps' attacking force!

  "General Roper asked: 'How much longer will it take for American reinforcements to arrive?'"

  "Sir, about five minutes more, or perhaps earlier!" a German officer replied.

  "Looks like our goal has been basically achieved, continuing to fight may be more dangerous! Now I need to leave a squad behind to temporarily cover!"

  The German officer said without hesitation: "I'm staying!"

  "Alright! Someone come here, pass the order to all units that are still resisting! Our troops have just eliminated and routed nearly a hundred of the American elite cavalrymen in the previous charge, as well as nearly ten tanks and various armored vehicles. We hope that all units will take this as encouragement to annihilate the Americans! Defend Germany-Italy! Defend our great Führer! Defend our mothers and wives!"

  "Yes!" Although the radio operator knew that Lieutenant Colonel Ropps' exploits were all fabricated exaggerations, he faithfully carried them out, because he also knew the current situation!

  "What? Withdraw troops?" Lai Lun seemed to disbelieve the officer's order in front of him, and Lai Lun suddenly became angry, saying directly: "Now we are fighting fiercely with the Americans, how can we withdraw!"

  The officer expressionlessly said: "I need a squad to stay with me and hold off the enemy! The troops have sacrificed too many people already! The American reinforcements are coming soon! So I need someone who can stay with me!"

  Laird looked at the soldiers scattered around still desperately resisting the US military and said: "I'm staying!"

  The German officer nodded and said: "Good!"

  Lai Ren walked up to the front of Luo Pu's middle school and gave a military salute, saying: "Sir, I have something to request of you!"

  Luo Pu's middle school didn't know what was going on with this third-class soldier in front of him, but he didn't have time to waste on one person now, and directly said: "Speak quickly!"

  Laren didn't hesitate, directly taking off the watch from his wrist and handing it to Lieutenant Colonel Rops: "Sir, this is the honor watch left behind by that sniper named Moni who survived the city hall, he's probably dead now! I promised him I'd pass this watch on to someone still alive! I don't trust anyone else, I want to give it to you, keep it until the end of the war!"

  Luo Pu's eyes widened in surprise, and he subconsciously said: "I will protect you until the last soldier is alive!"

  Lai Ren smiled and said: "Commander, I am now in the last battalion!"

  Lieutenant Colonel Ropps suddenly thought of giving the order, "You don't have to stay, follow me and retreat!" But Lieutenant Colonel Ropps knew he absolutely couldn't do that! Lieutenant Colonel Ropps solemnly took the watch that Laren had handed over to him, and vowed to Laren: "Rest assured, I will definitely leave it with someone who can survive until the end of the war!"

  "Thanks!" Laren said, and strode back to his own battlefield!

  "John! Take this German down!" I saw the situation on the right wing begin to be absolutely favorable for me, so I no longer waited for the arrival of reinforcements and began to order John to counterattack.

  "Yes, Captain! Watch me drive them out of their shit! Tanks forward! Give it to them!" John commanded wildly as he led his command post in a counterattack against the Germans.

  "Sir, look! The Germans have gone crazy! What are they doing?" several American soldiers asked John loudly.

  John looked up and found several Germans rushing towards his tank with abandon!

  "No good! It's dynamite! They're going to blow up the tank! Everybody up, kill them! Kill them!" John yelled loudly.

  A number of German soldiers, carrying a package of explosives, rushed towards the Sherman tank, intending to block its attack with their bodies. The Sherman's tankers, with two tank self-defense machine guns spewing out powerful flames, did not yield an inch, and countless bullets hit the path of the advancing German soldiers.

  A German soldier running at the front stumbled and stopped briefly, inviting more firepower from tanks and American infantry. His body was riddled with holes like a colander, blood gushing out as he stared blankly ahead, watching the tank roll over him without emotion.

  John followed behind the tank, hearing the crunching sound of the tank crushing human flesh. As he stepped forward, his foot landed in a mixture of blood and water, amidst a pulp of flesh that looked like it had been churned by a blender. John almost vomited, but with soldiers all around him, he could only suppress the intense nausea in his heart.

  John really wanted to curse the tank crew - what kind of strength did they get from crushing dead bodies? Didn't they worry about not being able to wash clean after the war?

  After several German soldiers were killed, a clever German soldier lay down on one side with an explosive pack, pretending to be dead and deceiving the attacking American soldiers.

  Taking advantage of the US military's inattention, he pulled open the fuse of the explosive package. The hissing sound of the fuse startled John, who was following behind a Sherman tank, and he shouted loudly: "Quickly take cover!"

  John grabbed a US soldier who was following beside him and rolled out backwards. Boom! A deafening explosion, the German soldier was blown to pieces, but because of his hasty blasting, he only managed to thoroughly blow off the Sherman tank's chain, and the tank moved forward another meter before it had to stop!

  John's head was buried in the ground, and he suddenly felt that the ground was full of muddy feeling. He lifted his head to take a look! It turned out that he had been lying on the same patch of mud as before. John couldn't bear it anymore, and with a "wow", he vomited everything he had eaten that morning!
