Six Hundred and Sixty Six Chaos

Among the ruins, a German gunman pointed a G43 semi-automatic rifle in his hand, aiming at an American soldier who was bending over and hiding under a low wall. Obviously, the other party did not realize that he had been targeted, and his movements remained the same. Very light and slow.

"Bah! Bah!" With two shots without the slightest hesitation, the bullets flew a short distance in an instant, piercing the chest of the opposing soldier. When the German soldiers saw that the opponent was shot, they crawled away without the slightest hesitation, without any intention of procrastinating. Soon he was shot out of white smoke by the bullets of the US military in his position just now, as if he was venting the resentment of the other party.

An American M4 Sherman tank slowly moved forward. The American soldiers who were originally following the tank had already been separated tens of meters away by German snipers and mg42 machine guns that suddenly attacked. Accompanied by the sound of gunfire and flying bullets, the two German soldiers bent over Holding his helmet on his waist, he crossed the street from behind the tank and ran to the building on the other side.

And there, another simple position is being established, and a German machine gunner is removing the belt from his neck and stuffing it into the mg42 machine gun in front of him. Not far from him, a rifleman was loading bullets into the magazine of his g43 automatic rifle.

Two German soldiers crossing the street jumped into a crater that was still smoking. One of them picked up the walkie-talkie inside and began to remind the comrades behind: "A new American tank, go to the No. 6 defense area. No, no infantry cover, over!" Beside him, the soldier responsible for covering him had already swept down an American soldier who was running up with a gun with his MP-44.

On the other side of the building, a deputy shooter had already stuffed the rocket into the tail of the Tekken bazooka, and then he knocked on the helmet of the shooter who was aiming at the target in front, reminding his comrades loudly: "It's loaded! It's time to fire!"

The shooter in front had already caught his target with the scope and got the news that the loading was complete. After only two seconds, he pulled his trigger. The rocket shot out of the bazooka barrel quickly, dragging a long tail flame, and rushed to the tail of the American tank.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the tail of the American tank started to catch fire, and thick smoke began to spew out violently. The originally slow tank gradually slowed down, and finally became motionless.

The hatch of the tank was opened from the inside, and the commander of the American tank had just exposed his head when he was shot in the neck by a German sniper not far away. The driver who jumped out of the tank on the other side hadn't run a few steps before he was shot into a sieve by an MP-44 assault rifle ambushing aside. As for the loader, gunner, and radio operator, the burned gasoline remained in the tank forever before they escaped from the tank.

In Patton's temporary front-line headquarters, his staff officers were reporting to him the losses on the front line. Obviously, the combat effectiveness of the German paratroopers was stronger than estimated.

And it's more than a little bit stronger. After 5 hours of hard fighting, Patton's troops not only failed to complete the plan to divide and encircle the German army, but even failed to complete half of the original plan.

The independent armored brigade and supplementary reinforcements cost the infantry of this brigade a total of 1,100 casualties, and have not been able to take a block from the Germans. After all, the German paratroopers are street fighters who walked all the way through the ruins and wreckage. Soldiers have been fighting in the desert, and have never experienced such bloody street fighting.

In their eyes, the Germans were nothing more than a bunch of cunning rats who squatted among the rubble and fought the Americans for a whole hour for a small corner. Bullets shot from all directions, making it impossible for anyone to dodge. The Americans were filled into these blocks one by one, and as a result, the companies disappeared from the military statistics.

"We have lost 77 tanks. If we count more armored vehicles, we have fired 900 rounds. There are no buildings with more than 2 floors here, but we still haven't been able to force the Germans to give up resistance." The staff was frustrated. Said. He knew what the situation was like now. Once Rommel behind him had dealt with all kinds of troublesome things, everything would be over after he caught up.

"How is the detour on the two wings going? The 8th Armored Division attacked the city center from several directions at the same time. There is no reason to be pushed back?" Patton was also shocked by the terrible resilience of the German paratroopers. He had never I have seen such a tenacious army, even in the ruins, even without any reinforcements, they still insist on their positions.

The staff officer knows that the competition now is who is more ruthless, and he is not afraid of losses and sacrifices. He pointed to the map and said to Patton: "The 8th Armored Division is attacking here, here, and here and here at the same time, but the battle is very stalemate. I don't know if they can break through the German defense line,"

Barton nodded, but finally did not continue speaking. Just when he was asking himself about the battle progress of the staff, the American tanks encountered the most terrifying scene since they started to attack. An advancing American tank was suddenly destroyed, and because the line of sight was blocked, did anyone see where the attack came from? .

The few remaining American tanks accelerated their attack on the German positions, covering the infantry and clearing out the German troops trench by trench. The battle reached a fierce stage, and hand-to-hand combat broke out in many positions. The number of German losses also began to skyrocket, and Student received reports of German losses exceeding 500.

However, when the American tanks discovered that there was a German "tank" in front of them, this time the attack failed again. The frightened American soldiers dropped their helmets and armor and retreated to the position where they set off. Reports on the Internet flew to Patton's headquarters like a snowflake, and the content was very similar. They all said that Rommel's armored forces had appeared in Damanhur.

"This is nonsense! Those are the few paratrooper tanks in the German army! They are not Rommel's armored forces at all! Let these idiots continue to attack! Capture Damanhur is victory!" Patton was so angry after reading the report. The telegrams inside were crumpled up. Although the offensive started again ten minutes later under the bombardment of artillery, the news of the appearance of German armored vehicles on the battlefield still hit the morale of the US Army, which was on the verge of collapse.

Boroll has moved his headquarters to the front of the 1st company's defense, less than 50 meters away from the most advanced trenches. In the entire battalion, only he, Donner, and a walkie-talkie liaison officer have not yet joined the battle. The rest of the troops, including the cooks and medical soldiers, have already begun to act as ordinary infantry, joining in the increasingly brutal battles went.

"The American army is attacking!" With a shout, the battle kicked off again. This time the number of American infantry was not large, but there were 10 tanks. All of them had solemn expressions on their faces. This is a large-scale attack. Whether it can stop the US attack this time, everyone has no idea.

"Ready to fight!" Boroll glanced at the nervous Donner, and picked up his rifle. At this time, the American tank had already crossed the first trench defense line in front of the 1st Company, and its huge tracks ran over it. The corpses of several German defenders could even feel the ground trembling slightly not far away.

"Boom!" A German sniper in the distance fired the first shot of the German defender's counterattack, and a soldier on the other side fell in response, without even having time to utter a scream. With this shot, more German positions opened fire, knocking down the already small number of American soldiers to the ground.

The American tanks were not idle, and the heading machine guns also sprayed out flames. Soon, some German soldiers were shot and fell into the foxholes. As the battle progressed, the already riddled German defensive positions began to be riddled with holes. An American tank ran over Boller's side, and the huge tracks were less than a meter away from Boller's helmet.

But soon the Americans paid the price for their aggressiveness. Two rockets flew out of the ruins on the side, one hit the track of an American tank, and the other hit the back of another tank. side armor. The two American tanks stopped quickly, and the occupants inside jumped out and fled to the rear under the cover of other tanks.

"Boom!" The American tank driving at the front fired an anti-tank mine. The huge impact made Bolor not far away shake twice, and the sand and soil were blown up like waves. on the people around.

The coaxial machine gun of the second American tank in the driving position opened fire. The bullets swept across the trenches of Bollor and extended to the distance. A German machine gun position over there was instantly shot out with white smoke. Looking at the situation in front of you, It is estimated that the machine gun cannot be saved.

"Boom!" The paratrooper chariot hidden in the corner finally opened fire, and a 75mm armor-piercing projectile directly penetrated the not-thick front armor of the m4 tank, as if a steel nail had penetrated into it. Same as the walls. The huge force made the American tank stop immediately, and the occupants inside were estimated to have all died immediately, because Boroll didn't see anyone escaping.

The emergence of paratrooper combat vehicles became the last straw that crushed the American armored forces. This time, a large-scale attack failed again, leaving a complete M4 tank with broken tracks and an armored tank on the ground. It was penetrated but did not burn and die. Including the two destroyed by the German infantry, the wreckage of 4 American tanks has been left here. If you count the ones left by the Americans earlier, there is almost a company of armored combat vehicles.
