Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 263 The battle is not over yet
"And a Tiger! Get down! Get down!"

Li Mu immediately shouted on the battlefield, pulled several soldiers to the nearby foxhole, and told the soldiers who were rushing forward to retreat.

The explosion sounded at this time, and the huge King Tiger tank shook violently, and then Li Mu saw that the cover above the turret was opened.

Li Mu fired without hesitation. It seemed that someone was shot and rolled off the tank, but several people got out of the tank. Li Mu was about to fight back again, but a barrage of bullets came fiercely.

The Tiger opened fire at this point to cover his companion's retreat.

Feim climbed up from the crater behind, lay down next to Li Mu, then raised his helmet with a wrinkled face, and glanced ahead, feeling a little out of breath at the moment.

"Why is there a Tiger there?!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let everyone back down, this tank can move, we can't take it down." Li Mu didn't blame why he got such wrong information, and now he just ordered Feimu to organize troops to stabilize the defense line, Do not chase the Tiger that is retreating towards the pass.

At this moment, the King Tiger tank in front of it, which had been completely paralyzed, heard another explosion, but this time the explosion came from inside the tank, and it was more of a dull buzzing sound.

Li Mu glanced at it, and then at the Tiger that was still retreating, but now he felt much more at ease.

After finishing a King Tiger tank, it may be difficult for the opponent to organize an attack in a short time.

Thinking of this, Li Mu waved to the back again, but the microphone of the communicator contacted the position on the ridge, and the communicator over there told Li Mu that the fighting had temporarily stopped and the German army had withdrawn.

The battle started for only three or four 10 minutes, and finally ended briefly when a King Tiger tank was reimbursed.

Li Mu and the others were still waiting in the foxhole for a long time, but at this time the thick fog gradually dispersed, and a round of red sun could be vaguely seen in the sky. At this time, Li Mu felt chilly all over his body. His clothes were all soaked.

A group of soldiers moved cautiously towards the mountain pass. After a while, a whistle came, and many American soldiers came out of the tunnel. They nodded and smiled.

A few soldiers quickly climbed onto the tank, then stuffed a grenade inside, and greeted everyone to be safe after confirming that the danger was cleared.

Li Mu also stood up from the foxhole at this time, strode towards the King Tiger tank, climbed up the tall turret, and glanced into the cockpit that was still filled with thick smoke. It was also a sigh of relief.

The exterior of the King Tiger turret is full of large and small bomb craters, but none of them penetrated its armor. The tracks on both sides are all broken, and the inside of the cockpit is also a mess.

Even its fuel tank had a big hole blown out from the inside. It was obviously the work of the German crew.

"Major, our method may not work next time." Feim, who had just finished cleaning up the wounded soldiers and cleaning up the battlefield, stepped forward, handed Li Mu a cigarette, and looked at the one that was still burning, And the mountain pass with thick smoke, said with some doubts.

"Well, the next step is the real tough battle." Li Mu took a cigarette and lit it on a pinch of flames on the King Tiger tank, then nodded and said.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and Li Mu and Fei Mu were stunned for a moment, while a soldier with sharp ears below immediately cheered.

"It's our plane, oh ho!"

All the soldiers suddenly turned their heads to look at the sky in the east, and saw a few black spots coming towards this side. The hum of engines began to fill the forest and sky, and everyone danced.

After a while, the plane passing by the town took down many boxes with parachutes, and soldiers cheered everywhere. Li Mu watched these soldiers rush towards those boxes, and hurriedly opened them to take out the contents. The cigarette in his hand was cut off.

"Let everyone collect the supplies, the bullets need to be rationed, the bandages and medicines are given to the medical officer, and the rest are taken by themselves!"

"Remember to let the soldiers consolidate the position here first, relying on this tank to do some fortifications!"

After saying this, Li Mu also jumped off the tank, summoned the jeep, and was going to take a look at the ridge position.

……

"What kind of attack is launched by such a thick fog? It's all right now, the King Tiger tank is gone!" Felix complained angrily, but there was silence in the cab, and Leo focused on driving the car back. David was reporting the situation to the headquarters just now, while Mattes had a gloomy face.

The operation failed, and it was a big failure. A King Tiger was lost just like that.

On the way back along the way, several more armored vehicles were reimbursed. This mountain pass, Mattes and others have been here for a day and a half.

If it doesn't pass, not to mention that there is no way to encircle it, even the tank I am driving now will become an iron bump in winter.

Oil has bottomed out.

The vehicle stopped in an open space shaded by trees. Mattes opened the hatch and jumped out of the tank. He saw several people being carried away, they were the crew members of the Grizzly.

Mattes ignored them, walked straight to the command post made of branches and tarpaulins, and said to the older officer.

"Lieutenant Colonel Andre, we need to organize a new attack immediately and break through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop."

"Mattus, of course I know, but the commander of the other party is very cunning, and we were pinned at that intersection." The middle-aged officer said with some worry, and Mateus replied firmly.

"No, Lieutenant Colonel, part of the reason for our failure is that the infantry did not catch up. The other party cannot set up traps in time now. This is a good opportunity."

"We don't have much fuel, and if we don't speed up, we will be dragged to death by the other side."

After Mattes finished speaking loudly, the lieutenant colonel also pondered for a moment, and asked Mattus' crew to refuel, and the next round of attacks would begin immediately.

After receiving the news, Mattes looked a little better. In his military career, he has never encountered such aggrieved things. Even if he encountered a torrent of steel, he was once invincible. What is there today? The grounds were stopped by a gang of infantry.

Matas' side was ambitiously preparing for the next charge, while Li Mu's side was gloomy. The attack at the foot of the mountain went smoothly, but the ridge position was torn open by the Germans.

There are less than a hundred people in the two companies who can fight now.

Many soldiers have not even had a good night's sleep for several days.

"Major, we can still hold on, but the soldiers have to take turns to rest. Many soldiers fall asleep as soon as they sit in the foxhole. This is not a good thing."

Li Mu nodded, but at the moment he could only let the soldiers rest on the spot. At the same time, he dispatched a team from the town's reserve team to be on guard, and promised to send some more supplies up.

The empty materials have been collected by the troops one after another, most of which are weapons, ammunition and medicines, but the soldiers don't dislike them either. Those big umbrellas are also collected and distributed to various positions to make tarpaulins.

When Li Mu returned to the small town, screams could be heard from the church in the center of the town. The jeep was busy transporting the wounded. Li Mu went to the oil depot alone to check the situation here.

While walking on the road, a person appeared in front of Li Mu, Li Mu frowned, and then remembered that this was the Davis who lost his good friend.

"Soldier, what do you want?"

"Sir, I want to ask you for a favor." Davis said suddenly, and then stepped forward and handed the things in his hand to Li Mu.

Those are two metal tags, commonly known as dog tags.

"I know it's against the rules, but please take it back, Major, if I die."
