Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 255 Preparations before the war
This winter seems to be colder than before. The cold wind in the French forest penetrates the gaps of every clothes, taking away the little warmth from every corner of the body.

"Damn! Damn! I've never seen such a cold day in Wisconsin!"

In a snow-covered foxhole, a stubble-faced soldier said fiercely, spitting out thick white steam, which condensed on the helmet.

"Davis, if you talk to me again, I'll put a grenade in your mouth!"

Another soldier, Mo Lie, who was curled up in the foxhole, said angrily, but now he tucked his neck deeper into his clothes, and put his hands in his arms to keep warm.

This is the soldiers of Company A who arrived at the highlands of the Weirbeaumont Ridge after an overnight march. They built this direction on the cold and hard hillside land. The soldiers curled up their bodies in the foxholes in the cold morning wind. among.

It was still a snowy morning, and it snowed all night last night. At this moment, the mountains and forests are covered with snow. What's more different is that there is a little heat coming from the sky, but the forest has begun to become hazy again. mist.

"How can I see people in this horrible weather? Maybe I have died here before I saw those Germans."

The bearded soldier was still whining, but suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, the conversation between the two stopped abruptly, and they immediately raised their carbine.The bearded man shouted vigilantly behind him.

"It's me, Dick." A familiar accent came out, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and a figure quickly jumped into the pit.

Davis, Morlie and Dick huddled together, and the white steam they spit out collided in the pit, while Dick stood up and pulled a long thing in from the edge of the pit.

"When did you cut a piece of umbrella cloth to carry?" Davis saw at a glance that it was a big piece of cloth, and then untied a big thing from it.

"For your bazooka, Lieutenant Memphis said it to you." Dick gasped and pulled out two shells with violence from the side.

"This is ammunition, save it."

"Two shells, what's the point of using them sparingly? They may not be able to penetrate armored vehicles." Davis said with a sad face while holding the ammunition, while Dick completely ignored him and turned his head to the other side. Mo Lie on the side said.

"Do you still have the morphine and bandages? Ender said to collect them all for him." Asking this, Molie took out a box of morphine from his pocket.

"That's the only one. It was taken by the brother who retired last night."

Dick took it, and then turned to look at Davis next to him.

Davis shook his head like a rattle. "I haven't. I'm still worried about what to use to bandage Molie."

"Can you say hello to me!" Molie countered angrily, and Dick carefully put the morphine in his pocket, then bent over and stood up.

"Just use an umbrella cloth to wrap it up. Although this thing is breathable and not warm, it is strong." After Dick finished speaking, he straightened his helmet, bent over and climbed out of the foxhole, then thought of something and turned his head again, Said to Davis and Mo Lie in the pit.

"You are in front of the position. If you find the situation, send a signal immediately. Lieutenant Memphis said that this time we encountered armored troops, and the battle will be very tragic."

"We must hold our ground. This is the death order given to us by Major Mark."

"We know, just rely on two bazookas, do you think we can beat the tiger style?" Davis said nonchalantly, but Dick didn't reply, just stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then Ran to the next foxhole.

Mo Lie let out a sigh of relief watching Davis, turned his head to look at the misty mountains outside the observation hole, and murmured something.

"Damn German."

……

Li Mu was standing in a snow field, looking around with a telescope, the sun had already risen from the east, but it was very hazy in the sky, the cold wind was blowing all around, and the single clothes on his body could not resist the cold at all.

But looking at the surrounding situation, Li Mu frowned more and more.

The situation in this place is far worse than I imagined.

Although Weierbomont is a small place, it has surprisingly convenient transportation. It may be a plain area, only the distant mountains are a little obstructed.

Although the trees are dense, in the face of the rumbling artillery fire and the devastated armored forces, if you want to defend this place, you will undoubtedly bet on everyone's life.

"Major, the artillery positions have been set up, but we don't have much ammunition left."

At this time, an officer ran up and said, and immediately handed Li Mu a remarked map.

This is what Li Mu asked his subordinates to do. Not only that, but Li Mu also asked the remaining soldiers to set up foxholes in flat areas, and set up explosives and landmines at important intersections.

Li Mu used all the supplies that Verbomont could use.

"Well, let the soldiers take turns to rest, and the rear will prepare breakfast before sending it up. Except for the medical camp at the rear, no fires are allowed in other places."

Li Mu nodded and said, but the officer's face was a little embarrassed.

Li Mu noticed this detail, and immediately asked: "Is there any problem?"

"Yes, sir, we are in short supply of all kinds of supplies now, and the meals we can provide soldiers may only be in the morning and evening every day."

Hearing this sentence, Li Mu knew in his heart that this was something he had known before, but now the reinforcement supplies will not come so soon, so everyone can only maintain the basic supply first.

"I will continue to ask the higher authorities, but we must ensure the supply of Company A, especially the ammunition."

When Li Mu said this, the officer also saluted, and Li Mu took the map away, and then took the orderly next to him, boarded the jeep next to him, and headed towards the ridge next to him.

To be able to stick to Verbeaumont, there must be no problems in the positions defended by Company A.

The vehicle galloped up to the ridge, Li Mu jumped out of the vehicle, and a few soldiers with snow helmets stood up beside him, and then saw Memphis, the commander of Company A, coming over.

"Major, our arrangements are complete and the bazookas have been distributed."

Memphis spoke to Li Mu, Li Mu nodded, then looked around, saw many soldiers curled up in the foxholes, still wearing single clothes, stood up after seeing Li Mu Come salute.

Li Mu also responded, and then looked at Memphis next to him.

"Is there any inquiry about the situation ahead?"

Memphis' face paused, and he said in a slightly awkward tone: "We have just finished setting up the position, and there are a few secret sentries in front, but we haven't organized a team to investigate the forest ahead."

Li Mu didn't say anything, just came to the highest point of this ridge with the other party, and then looked down.

The dense jungle is decorated with white snow, and there are only two colors of black and white everywhere, but you can vaguely see the mountain slope down, and there is a road not far below, covered by many trees.

"At the end of the road, we cut down some trees, pretending to be overwhelmed by snow, but we can only prevent the enemies on the road, and they can still bypass."

"The forest ground is hard in winter, and those armored vehicles can easily pass through."

Li Mu said something in agreement, but he just turned around, looked at the officers of A standing in front of him, and said slowly.

"Gentlemen, our task is arduous, but Captain Gavin and Major General Ridgway attach great importance to us, and we must not lose this battle."

"I will try my best to get more reinforcements for everyone, but please be prepared."
