Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 256 The Enemy Appears

Li Mu stood in a small building in Verbeaumont. This is the edge of the town, but he could observe the ridge and surrounding positions very clearly, and at the same time he could guard against some unknown dangers.

"From morning to noon, the skies are full of German planes."

A communication soldier said a little depressed, Li Mu just glanced at the other party, didn't say anything, just observed the situation in the distance with a telescope.

It was past noon, and the heat of the sun was the most abundant time of the day, but the reinforcements that had been called for all the time had not yet arrived, and what were waiting were several Messers and Misser fighter jets circling in the sky.

Li Mu was the most nervous when those German planes were circling in the sky. Although the oil depot had been covered by a certain disguise, Li Mu was still a little worried.

Now that the sound of the plane finally disappeared, Li Mu paid more attention to the situation on the ridge.

What needs to be defended now is the German armored unit that may come out of the Ardennes Forest.

After scanning the situation carefully, and then inquiring about the current deployment of various troops, Li Mu turned around and picked up the water bottle, just about to take a sip of water, but suddenly stopped.

Because at this moment there was a buzzing sound in the sky again, and the sound became louder and closer.

Li Mu immediately put down the kettle, carefully stood at the window with a telescope and looked out. At the same time, some soldiers carefully poked their heads out to check the sky.

Seeing the unfamiliar airframe and the swastika logo on the wing, Li Mu's heart tightened.

This is a German plane, here we go again.

Li Mu asked everyone to remain calm and not to expose themselves, and this plane was also circling continuously over Verbeaumont at this time, and this time the altitude of the plane was lowered.

Li Mu could even see the pilot's face through the binoculars.

The situation this time was completely different from before. The pilot obviously discovered something here and tried to confirm his discovery.

Especially when the opponent kept circling around the location of the oil depot, Li Mu's heart tightened immediately, and he was even ready to let the machine gunner fire.

But at this moment, the roar of fighter planes came again from the sky, and Li Mu hurriedly looked over. This time, it was the familiar American P51 fighter jets, and the two planes were heading straight towards the German fighter plane. go.

Li Mu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two U.S. fighter planes quickly caught the German fighter plane, but apparently the German pilot was very capable. He made two emergency maneuvers in the sky, which made it impossible for the U.S. fighter plane to quickly lock on to it, and even took it with him. Two planes left the battlefield.

Seeing that the crisis was lifted, Li Mu put all the troops on standby again, ready to continue their blocking mission, but at this moment, a whistling sound came from the sky.

The orderly next to him was the first to react, his eyes widened, and he fell on Li Mu's body suddenly, and the screaming sound came quickly, followed by a deafening explosion.

"The shells are coming! Cover up!!"

Only the officers in the position below shouted loudly, but the screams did not stop.

The screeching sound was like the roar of a dragon, and it came to Verbomont with great power, and quickly covered the entire position.

Li Mu felt the vibrations and roaring gunfire around him, shook his head and stood up, then picked up his telescope again in the smoke-filled room, and then looked towards the surrounding area.

I saw earth flowers blooming on the ground, kicking up mud and many sundries, and many shells directly smashed into the town. Houses collapsed under the large-caliber shells, and the whole town fell apart in an instant. It is like ruins.

Seeing that the oil depot was still safe, Li Mu looked up the ridge, but saw that there was no movement there, so he hurried out of the house and headed for the tunnel bunker beside him.

After finding the communication soldier, Li Mu connected the walkie-talkie and asked loudly at the other end.

"How is the situation in the position? Have you found any traces of the enemy?"

After a while of busy tone, a hoarse voice came from over there, the voice of Memphis.

"Not yet, these cannonballs are coming from several kilometers away, no enemy armor has been seen yet."

"Have you checked the movement ahead, can you find the enemy troops first?"

Li Mu asked again, and Memphis over there responded immediately.

"The team has been dispatched, but no news has been received yet."

And almost at the end of this sentence, there was an explosion and a person's scream from the walkie-talkie. Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the ridge over there against the artillery fire in front of him.

I saw the same tall native flowers lighting up there, and gradually becoming denser.

Li Mu stood up abruptly in the tunnel, and was crushed into the pit by the orderly next to him.

The walkie-talkie went silent for a while, and Li Mu straightened his helmet, then passed through the tunnel and headed towards the temporary command post next to him, where a company commander was also there at the moment.

"Major, it's the enemy's long-range artillery fire. The enemy's ground troops have not been seen yet. The communication facilities are still operational, but we have no way to counterattack."

The company commander said anxiously, Li Mu immediately looked at the situation in front of him again, heard the rumble of cannons around him, and spoke immediately.

"Send someone to the oil depot to check the explosives arrangement, and at the same time ensure communication, and listen to my orders at all times."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu once again looked at the position ahead, looking at the gradually sparse artillery fire on the ridge, and said lightly: "We must block it."

……

On the ridge position, Davis and Morlie were lying in the foxholes, listening to the gunfire around them with frowning faces, and then tried their best to look into the forest ahead.

But the white forest in front of him is still foggy at the moment. Maybe the sound of the guns shook the snow, or maybe the snow was empty, and it was almost white in front of him.

The gunfire gradually dissipated, and finally stopped after a muffled sound. Davis was stunned for a moment, carefully poked his head out of the foxhole, and looked behind him. There was a bomb crater not far away, and several trees were broken. tree, leaving a black crater in the ground. ;
Mo Lie looked up again at the situation in front of him, his eyes widened suddenly, and he grabbed Davis.

Davis turned his head puzzled, but was lowered by the opponent, and then looked forward through the observation hole.

Both of them looked at each other at the same time, and then they looked around, Mo Lie climbed out of the foxhole immediately, and Davis held the carbine tightly with a nervous expression on his face.

"Enemy attack!"

Almost when Morlie transmitted the order to Memphis, the soldiers' hysterical warnings sounded from the battlefield, followed by several gunshots and more roars.

There was a burst of intensive gunfire, and it was the company's Browning machine guns that started firing, and at this moment there was even more gunfire.

"Tank No. [-]! It's the German's assault vehicle!" Davis threw a grenade at the foot of the mountain. Before he could completely hide his body in the foxhole, he heard a scream, and then It was a violent explosion that exploded on a mountain pass more than ten meters away from him. Looking down the mountain along the trajectory, what Davis saw was a thick and heavy gun barrel.

And after that, a ferocious steel body emerged from the jungle, and Davis' liver and gallbladder were torn apart.

The armored forces of the German army really appeared.
