The Rise of the Scum of the Heavens

In order to refresh himself, he breathed directly into his mouth and stuffed two quick pieces of 'Obi' chewing gum.

Stimulated by the mint ingredient in chewing gum, Hu Biao couldn't help but lift up his spirits, and began to pick up an M1918A2 light machine gun in his hand, and looked vigilantly at the positions on both sides of the dirt road, observing in the dark night.

Be prepared, but if there is a slight sign of trouble, you will open fire directly.

Talk!After reporting to Lieutenant Don Collier, the group prepared overnight.

Not only did they strengthen the 5 Sherman tanks, but also replenished fuel and ammunition; the Zhongzhou team also got some good things at the regiment headquarters.

These include an M1 81mm mortar, two M18 57mm recoilless guns, four bazooka rocket launchers, and an M4 flamethrower.

There is also a considerable amount of ammunition, grenades, etc., so that everyone is armed to the teeth.

In the end, after tossing around 3 o'clock in the morning the next day, the group of them finally set off quietly in the dark night tonight.

The size and formation of the entire action team, led by 5 Shermans in front.

In the back position, there are 3 rows consisting of a Willys Jeep and two CCKW medium-duty trucks produced by General Motors.

In the night, after this small team left the regiment headquarters, it immediately started marching southwest along a dirt road full of ruts.

The reason why it is not like in many movies is that everyone in the Zhongzhou team sat directly on the tank.

Instead, he drove the car and followed the tank.

That's because the infantry were sitting on the tanks. If they were attacked by anti-tank fire during the march, they would often suffer heavy casualties. The Zhongzhou team was very clear about this.

Of course, the scene where the infantry and the tanks are full in the movie is not exactly the plot that the screenwriters came up with.

It's just that this kind of method mostly appeared in Maozi's family, which had a serious shortage of mechanical transportation power.

In order to keep up with the rapidly attacking tanks, the Maozi soldiers had to fill up the tanks.

Therefore, in the modern plane, there is a related ridicule: the protection of German stick tanks in World War II relies on steel plates, the protection of Uncle Sam's tanks relies on sandbags, and the protection of Maozi's tanks relies on human flesh plug-ins.

In this way, Hu Biao and the others, as wealthy soldiers this time, certainly wouldn't sit on the tank foolishly.

In order to avoid being hit with an iron fist halfway, causing a large area to be knocked down on the spot.

Moreover!The fighters of Maozi's family habitually sat on the tank and followed along, and they also had their own routines and tricks.

It seems that on the shell of the tank, there are many handles welded on it for the Maozi infantry to hold.

Back then at the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory, Hu Biao could often see Maozi's workers doing this kind of thing on the shell of the T-34 tank with a welding machine in their hand.

Otherwise, believe it or not, during the speeding of the tank, the hard-working infantry above would be thrown off if they were not careful, and then a huge tragedy would happen.

As for Lieutenant Don Collier, their mission this time is actually very simple:

According to aerial reconnaissance, in a certain area more than 100 kilometers away, there may be a German armored force of considerable size hiding and lurking in it.

If it is true, when the Allied forces attack Cherbourg, an important port city in the future, once this German stick force breaks out from the flank, it will cause a huge loss to the attacking force.

However, because the terrain in this area is more complicated, and there are a lot of forests.

After the reconnaissance plane conducted many low-altitude reconnaissance, it is still impossible to confirm whether there is really a German armored force in this area.

At the same time, after some intelligence personnel set off, they never returned any news.

In view of this point, there was an armed reconnaissance operation by Don Collier and others.

They don't need to fight to the death with the German stick armored troops hiding there; as long as they confirm the existence of the German stick armored troops and send the news back through the radio, they can retreat immediately.

At that time, there will naturally be relevant troops to deal with them.

According to the map, the distance along this road is about 130 kilometers.

In the current situation where the entire operation team has tanks and trucks for transportation, it seems that only one day is enough to go back and forth.

But such a seemingly simple action is full of dangers in the actual process.

Because in the entire Normandy area, under the frenzied air strikes of the Allied forces, small groups of German sticks were scattered everywhere; God knows how many times the action team encountered battles while passing by.

Talk!Since the Allied forces landed in Normandy, the German side has actually made considerable efforts.

Trying to drive the unsteady allied forces back to the sea.

For example: On the afternoon of June 6, the 6st Armored Division launched a counterattack against the Allied forces that had just landed, with the goal of Luke Town between Juno Beach and Sword Beach.

At that time, the Allied forces still had a gap of several kilometers between the two beaches, which could be regarded as hitting the vital points of the Allied forces.

It is a pity that the commander of the 21st Armored Division at that time saw a fleet of 500 transport planes in the air on the way. He thought it was an Allied airborne force and planned to attack him on both sides after landing in the rear.

After hastily retreating, it was regarded as the loss of the best anti-landing fighter.

After the 7th, Mustache handed over the command of the five armored divisions on the western front to Desert Fox, hoping to use these armored divisions to launch a counterattack.

Unfortunately, the Allies had too much of an advantage in the air.

These five powerful armored divisions suffered heavy casualties in the Allied air strikes on the way to counterattack; in the end, only sporadic troops arrived at the beachhead to counterattack, which did not play the slightest role.

Subsequently, successive German stick troops were mobilized, but they no longer continued to launch counterattacks, but defended in some key areas.

Therefore, this means that Hu Biao and the others may encounter many small-scale but fierce enough encounters in the past this time...

"Old Hu, Lao Hu, wake up, there is a situation~"

When such a sentence came to his ear, Hu Biao was awakened immediately, and immediately picked up the M1918A2 light machine gun in his hand again.

By the way, with an unusually stealthy movement, he quickly wiped off a long hala near the corner of his mouth.

What the hell!He fell asleep on the way to the mission, and even the halazi flowed out. Hu Biao can't be blamed for this kind of thing, can't he?

The main reason is that the roads on this road are too broken, with deep ruts everywhere, and large and small earth pits created during the bombing.

Jeeps and trucks can't drive fast on such bad road conditions; they can only move forward slowly at a speed of up to seven or eight kilometers per hour, not to mention, the body is also very undulating.

During the whole process, the car body was like a cradle, and Hu Biao was very drowsy after being shaken all night without sleep.

Under such circumstances, it seemed reasonable to change shifts with Lao Yang after dawn and let Lao Yang help to watch for a while; take turns to rest like other team members.

What Hu Biao didn't expect was that he felt that something went wrong when he closed his eyes.

The problem is, waiting for Hu Biao to fire with his light machine gun in his arms.

But he discovered the situation, and it was not what he thought; it was not that the German sticks appeared, but in the direction they were heading, a large number of refugees were coming in groups.

Most of them are old people, women and children, and there are basically no adult men; these people are carrying a few boxes in their hands, and they are walking toward them along both sides of the dirt road.

And let Chafeng, who is in charge of driving the Willys jeep, be in the driver's seat next to him, and this is the reason to wake him up.

But Hu Biao was next to his ear, and he could hear those old SPs chatting fervently in Chinese on the truck behind him.

"Oh! That blond lady looks so pitiful, I'd like to give her five cigarettes to help~"

"What a crime! That girl with a little freckles on her face looks starving. I still have a can of spam luncheon meat here. I really want to have breakfast with her~"

"Damn it! In such a cold morning, the girl in the dress didn't even have any socks on. I don't know which color socks she likes."

Amidst the laughing and joking discussions of those old SPs, Hu Biao's face suddenly became black.

Even if he actually knew that these bastards were still a bit forced, knowing that everything now was mainly about armed reconnaissance missions, they were just talking about it.

But hearing such arguments, Hu Biao still felt a severe headache.

There are quite a few things in the team, and the mentality of the players is getting heavier and heavier.

In addition, there are many electric poles on the side of the road, and the corpses of men are hung on them, shaking with the wind.

There is no doubt that it was written by the German stick, and it was used to deter the local Gaul natives.

And the deterrent effect seems to be very good, because facing Lieutenant Don Collier, there is a question about whether there is a German stick entrenched in front.

Whether these people are real or not, they all have expressions that don't understand English.

In such a situation, until around 9 o'clock in the morning, when the leading M4A1 tank stopped suddenly, the entire action team stopped completely.

It was a small town not far in front of their eyes, which was a place they had to pass through, and appeared in front of their eyes.

Chapter 544 Entering the Town

When the action force stopped at a distance of about 1 kilometer from the town.

In the microphone of the walkie-talkie hanging on Hu Biao's left shoulder, suddenly there was a "rustling~" electric sound, which attracted all his attention.

Then, the voice of Lieutenant Don Collier came out of the microphone:

"Second Lieutenant Hu, Second Lieutenant Hu, have you heard it now? Come over after hearing it, let us discuss what to do next?"

"Got it, I'll be right over."

Hu Biao, who responded after hearing the words, lifted his long legs, pulled out the short door of the jeep, jumped out of the car and walked towards the tank where Don Collier was.

He was going to hear what that guy, Lieutenant Don Collier, was going to say.

Soon after, Lieutenant Don Collier, who was the commander of an M4A2 tank with a tank cap on his head, fingered a map on his lap.

While facing Hu Biao beside him, he asked politely about the next action:

"Second Lieutenant Hu, do you have any suggestions for this place?"

Needless to say, he is also a white male, and also has the rank of lieutenant among the soldiers, but this lieutenant Don Collier is much more open about his life and work than that grandson of Deke.

This made Hu Biao adjust his attitude, and planned to treat the opponent as a comrade-in-arms seriously.

However, Hu Biao could understand Lieutenant Don Collier's meaning when he said such a nonsensical sentence.

According to the map I carried with me, the town in front of me is called Aitler, because there are some low hills in the surrounding area, so I need to walk at least 50 kilometers to get around here.

Given the current poor road conditions in the surrounding areas of Normandy, the 50-kilometer journey might take six hours to complete.

This is still along the way, and there is no result of any battles with German stick troops; if they encounter German stick sniper attacks, God knows how long it will take.

Whether it will even reach its destination in the end is still unknown.

But if the action troops continue to advance like this, it doesn't matter if it is the men hanging from the poles outside the town.

It was still a group of Gaul natives, judging from the performance of asking for their news, there must be a German stick entrenched in this town; if they really want to move forward, they can only take down here.

The question is, what is the strength of the German stick in the town, how much equipment is there, etc.?It can be said that Hu Biao and others knew nothing about it.

This is the biggest reason why Lieutenant Don Collier is so hesitant about his next move.

Faced with such a question, Hu Biao did not choose to answer directly, but first took a telescope and looked towards the small town of Aitler not far away.
