chase and escape
The reinforcements finally arrived!
When the cannon sounded and learned that it was the artillery fire of the increased troops, the German officers and soldiers on the entire Farbumian battlefield instantly burst into earth-shaking cheers.
Waiting hard and waiting hard, everyone is working hard for this moment.
Fabman - It will inevitably become a battlefield that everyone will never forget!
Wang Weiyi shot out all the bullets in the magazine, then smiled and looked at the battlefield full of cheers. He knew that the same invincible German hero Manstein had once again succeeded.
In January 1966, after the Falbamander army insisted, the 6th Northern Mountain Division of the SS was the first to arrive on the battlefield, and then a large number of German troops arrived one after another.
There was almost no delay, and all the German troops who arrived at the battlefield in Fabama immediately entered the general offensive.
The 9th Armored Division of the US Army was completely unprepared. They were still attacking one side a minute ago and quickly became the defensive side.
The German troops who reinforced to Fabuman, German soldiers and Bulgarian soldiers who insisted on resisting in Fabuman launched a full-scale counterattack throughout the city.
Manstein and his German Middle East Legion, who had been hiding for a long time, finally no longer had to hide any strength. In the sky, a large number of German aircraft formations suddenly appeared; the ground was the artillery fire of German revenge; the battlefield was the German steel torrent.
This is a day that Americans will never forget in their lifetime... On this day, the counterattack code-named "Goddess of Nemesis" opened the grand curtain in Fabaman...
The 9th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Armored Division was the first to suffer.
The luck of this infantry regiment was indeed not very good. Not long ago, their regiment commander, Colonel Nesco, was unfortunately beaten to death by the Germans. Before General Roshen could appoint a new regiment commander for them, the German reinforcements arrived.
What faced them directly was the SS 6th Northern Mountain Division Ss Aldridge Level 1 Assault Team.
When the Aldridge Commando team members learned that their Northern Mountain Division was the first to enter Fabman, their inner excitement was difficult to express in words.
They decided to take the lead in fighting back to welcome their companions beautifully.
Amid the noisy artillery fire, a large number of German soldiers appeared from their hiding places. The weapons in their hands spit out flames, and strings of bullets sprayed at the enemy opposite.
A small group of US troops were trapped in a broken building. They owned a tank as a steel fortress. The Germans in the attack had no choice at the moment.
But at this moment, a "Leopard Type 7" suddenly appeared. Without even the request of the infantry, the "Leopard Type 7" took the initiative to attack.
"Boom-Boom-Boom-" Two sounds, the shells flew out of the cannon chamber terriblely.
This is not the old German tanks in Fabman before, but the most advanced "Leopard Type 7", which far exceeds the "Leopard Type 7" of the American m1 tank in various performances!
In front of the "Leopard Type 7", the m1 that covered the US military's replenishment team lost its combat effectiveness...
The German soldiers cheered again... and the "Leopard Type 7" muzzle was patrolling majestic, and the machine gun spread the powerful fire nets throughout the battlefield.
The American soldiers hiding there wailed, and they fell one after another... Some people wanted to escape, but under such a blow, where could they run?
This is a tragic day for these American soldiers...
In just a few minutes, there was no living American here...
Colonel Fansten could finally breathe a sigh of relief. You know, his responsibility is not simple. In addition to delaying the Americans here, he also had to ensure the safety of Alexander Yan Jue.
If any problems arise, he will become a German sinner...
Fortunately, such a terrible situation will not happen!
Colonel Fan Sten and all the troops he commanded were put into the attack... The battle was so wonderful. They were still the side that they insisted on, but in the blink of an eye, they became the side that counterattacked.
The Germans were very happy, but the Americans were not happy no matter what. When German reinforcements arrived, the US military was completely suppressed and the sequence of attack was completely disrupted.
In Fabman, the Germans were seeing counterattacks everywhere, and the calls for help came to General Luoshen's command center set up in a basement.
General Luoshen discovered a very terrible problem: he was surrounded and if he could not get assistance, he could even become a prisoner of the Germans.
Reinforcements? Those subordinates actually need reinforcements? No, they are all crazy. The person who needs reinforcements the most is themselves!
Damn, even in the basement, General Luoshen could still clearly hear the terrifying sound of cannons and gunshots. He could still hear the German shouts in a trance.
"General Carofi, I need to pick up General Carofi, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Middle East Command!" Roshen shouted at the phone: "General Carofi? Yes, we are surrounded by the enemy... Ah. I don't know where the 9th Infantry Regiment is... The 9th Armored Regiment? No, I don't know where they should be damned... I'm very passive here now, very passive, and the enemy is fighting everywhere around me... I need reinforcements, and I need planes to pick me up from this damn place immediately... What? Defend on the spot, waiting for reinforcements? Well, I can hold on for two days, maybe only one day. Ah, no, I don't know I won't surrender..."
Luoshen put down the phone in frustration. In fact, he knew very well that reinforcements would not be accessible in a short period of time. What did those intelligence personnel make for? Why did so many enemies appear without any news? No, he suddenly remembered that there was not no news. He had said before that a German army was quickly approaching Fabmann. The headquarters just sent the French and Arab troops to intercept it, and they did not pay much attention to it.
Therefore, they can only taste such evil consequences by themselves.
"General, the status quo of the 9th Infantry Regiment is deteriorating sharply." Chief of Staff Henry hurried in: "They must get our support to persist."
"Tell them that I can't transfer reinforcements to them." Luoshen, who could not get reinforcements, roared angrily: "Let them stop them, and you are not allowed to defeat! Let Nesco command himself!"
"General, Colonel Nesco has been killed..."
"Ah. He has been killed..." Luoshen realized that his most capable subordinate, Nesco, was beaten to death by the Germans before the German troops arrived.
He sighed deeply, but didn't know what to do...
Henry hesitated: "General, you should make some preparations. You must know that according to the current situation, at least two or more divisions of the German army have entered Fabumann, and there may be more in the future. Due to the raids and the counterattacks of the Fabumann troops before, our situation is very difficult, and it may even be attacked by the enemy. I suggest you evacuate here in advance..."
Luoshen nodded involuntarily, but then shook his head again: "No, Henry, I can't leave. General Carlofi asked me to continue here. Wait until reinforcements arrive..."
"General, don't listen to him." Henry was a little anxious: "These people would just stay in the comfortable command center and issue some boring orders. They didn't know what was going on in the front line now. When they finally finished the meeting, they decided to send troops. When the reinforcements arrived late, we had long become captives of the Germans!"
Luo Shen pondered there, and he thought the Chief of Staff's words were not unreasonable.
There is not only one American, French, and Arab warriors fighting in the Middle East. They often argue for a small problem for a long time. They often lose the initiative in fighting because of doing so.
If he continues to persist here as General Carlofi said, he might really become a prisoner...
"Henry, go and prepare for the retreat, while the Germans have not completely surrounded us." Luoshen made up his mind: "Let all the troops block the enemy as much as possible and tell them that reinforcements will arrive soon!"
Luoshen has made up his mind to leave this terrible place...
Everyone in the 9th Armored Division of the US Army who was still fighting hard did not know that they had been abandoned by their commanders. Despite their difficulties, they were still struggling to persevere.
This is the most elite armed force of the Allied forces in the Middle East, both in terms of equipment and in the combat quality of the soldiers. The reason why Manstein chose this force as his target of annihilation was to use this method to completely hit the morale and confidence of the enemy.
At this moment, the 9th Armored Division of the US Army continued to resist, but what would it feel if they learned that they were abandoned?
Maybe, they will be defeated in the shortest time...
......
"Marson Ernst. I am Rudendolf of the 11th Regiment of the 6th Northern Mountain Division of the SS. Armored Grenadiers Regiment of the 6th Northern Mountain Division of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers of the Armored Grenadiers
When he saw Marshal Ernst Breme, Rudendolf seemed a little nervous.
"Ludendorf, I am very kind to this name." Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "During the First World War, when I was a subordinate officer, I had seen Marshal Hindenburg and General Rudendorf with my own eyes. Ah, I also met Marshal Manstein. Colonel Rudendorf. Where is Marshal Manstein now?"
Originally, it was just a question later, but what he didn't expect was that Rudendolf's answer surprised him. Rudendolf looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Martin Manstein is about to arrive in Fabamam."
Wang Weiyi was stunned for a moment. Manstein was about to arrive in Fabamam?
"This was originally top secret, for the sake of Marshal Manstein's safety..." Rudendolf's voice was still low: "But there is nothing to hide in front of you."
Wang Weiyi nodded and smiled. Manstein probably couldn't wait to see his old friend who had been separated for twenty years? Soon, two German marshals will gather together in Fabmann.
"Master Ernst, we were attacked by the enemy in a crazy way." At this time, Colonel Antonov, the commander of the Bulgarians, hurried over: "The enemy's attack is very fierce and the firepower is extremely strong. My 81st Infantry Regiment was broken through by them. Now Colonel Fansten is personally leading his troops to intercept the armed forces. But the colonel's situation is also very passive. He guessed that this was not an ordinary enemy, so he requested immediate support."
"Col. Come with your people, come with me." Wang Weiyi said without hesitation.
When they arrived at the battlefield, they felt for the first time that once the enemy concentrated all their firepower, it was still very shocking.
Tanks, armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and the US military used almost all weapons that could be used. They launched a fierce attack on the German temporary positions. If Wang Weiyi had not arrived in time with a large number of German troops, I was afraid that this German army would have been destroyed like the Bulgarian positions.
"Marson, those Americans are crazy." Colonel Fan Sten breathed a long sigh when he saw the marshal appear here: "20 minutes, only 20 minutes, they launched three attacks!"
Wang Weiyi took the telescope and looked forward, and soon ordered Colonel Rudendolf to take his men to the battle. Then he brought Fabman's map: "Where did they appear?"
"Here." Colonel Fansten quickly pointed to a point on the map.
"Are there any fortifications here?" Wang Weiyi asked with a frown.
Colonel Fansten blurted out: "There is a basement there, which is very strong, but since it is not our main defensive target, we did not arrange many people after the street fighting broke out. It quickly fell into the hands of the Americans."
"There is a basement there..." Wang Weiyi murmured: "If I were the commander of the Americans, where would I set up the command after entering Fabuman? Colonel Fansten, what about you?"
Colonel Fansten was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Marshal Ernst had already stopped, saying, "I will also set up my command in the basement. Is there anything safer than there?"
Colonel Fan Sten understood immediately: "You have the meaning, is it the command of the 9th Armored Division of the US Army? Is the command of the Americans who broke through?"
"I can't say this." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly and said, "Maybe it. Maybe it's not. But no matter what, we can't let them escape from our noses. Colonel, are you familiar with the situation here?"
"Of course, I'm familiar with every tree and every tree here!" Colonel Fan Sten said loudly.
Wang Weiyi's eyes fell back on the map: "Leave it to Colonel Rudendolf to defend this place. You take your people and Colonel Antonov's Bulgarians, go around the flanks and launch an attack behind the Americans!"
"Okay, no problem." Colonel Fan Sten became excited...
......
Wang Weiyi's judgment was not wrong. This crazy breakout unit was officially the command of General Luo Shen, the commander of the 9th Armored Division of the US Army.
Their first charge broke the Bulgarians' positions, which also made them confident of a successful breakthrough, but they were soon subjected to strong resistance.
The combat effectiveness of those German soldiers is far from comparable to that of the Bulgarians. With their numbers and weapons behind, they still stick there like iron walls, making it impossible for the Americans to succeed in countless assaults.
Soon, the German reinforcements arrived, and the originally precarious position suddenly became stable.
General Luoshen was furious. Colonel Klaus, who was in charge of commanding the charge, was called in front of him several times and scolded him loudly. At least one thing Luoshen knew was that time was life. Every time they delayed here for one more minute, they became more dangerous.
Colonel Klaus' fourth offense began.
Luoshen was anxious and picked up the telescope, and then put it down again. At this time, his heart was no longer in Fabama.
"General, do you need to withdraw temporarily? The Germans' blockade is very tough." Henry asked worriedly: "At least the basement still has a very strong defense."
"No, no!" Luoshen didn't want to return to that dark and wet place at all: "Let the nearby troops approach me immediately, immediately, I need their support!"
"General, please think carefully." Henry said hurriedly, but his voice was very low: "The soldiers who are still fighting do not know about our retreat. If they know, it will cause some unnecessary consequences and troubles. So I think it is better for us to break through ourselves for the time being."
Luo Shen sighed, in fact, he was already in chaos at this time.
If they continue to persist without breaking through rashly, they can still hold on for a long time, and may even persist until the arrival of reinforcements. However, in this case, Luoshen chose to break through early.
This cannot be said to be a wrong choice, but it is far from being the right choice.
This is true for many things on the battlefield. The outcome of a battle is often between the commander's thoughts. An idea and a choice can often determine the fate of a unit.
For example, General Luoshen and his 9th Armored Division are exactly like this.
Since Luoshen has taken such a path, he has no other choice. He must stick to it. Even if this decision is proven to be completely wrong in the end, he will never turn around.
So, the fate of the Americans turned a corner on this battlefield!
