Chapter 551 The storm is coming (two-in-one chapter)(1/2)

That night! When you are at the beginning of midnight.

Hu Biao and a group of six people rushed back to the artillery position after running for 45 kilometers, and completed the reunion with Lieutenant Don Collier and others who were waiting for them there.

What a good guy! In the 12-hour difference, I went back and forth for more than 90 kilometers.

In addition, they not only did not have a good rest for about 20 hours before, but also fought wars and prepared tasks.

In this case, even if Hu Biao and others have extraordinary physical constitutions, they also feel a little tired.

Even Lieutenant Don Collier took a look and knew that these guys were exhausted.

After thinking about something, Lieutenant Don Collier looked up at the sky and could clearly find that there was not only a trace of moonlight above the sky tonight.

Instead, there was a dark cloud entrenched, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to come.

After hesitating for a while, he still discussed with Hu Biao:

"Emperor Hu, why don't we stay here for a few more hours? Because in addition to giving you some rest, this will also avoid this rainstorm that is about to come.

It is not too late for us to continue to set off tomorrow morning when it doesn’t rain.

According to our previous reconnaissance, there are no German stick troops nearby, and it is still safe here; and even if the heavy rain damages the road, with the passage and towing ability of our tanks, you don’t have to worry that your truck will get stuck on the road."

To be honest, the thing Hu Biao wants to do most now is to lie down and have a good sleep.

Even if there is no comfortable big bed, I just slept on the hard ground in the open air, and I am very excited.

As a result, when he heard Lieutenant Don Collier's statement, he immediately dispelled the last concern in his heart, and he nodded quickly to agree with this statement.

Immediately shouted that Qingtian, the chef of the team, would prepare some serious food for them and fill their belly first.

And because of the existence of the German stick artillery positions before, they didn't have to sleep in the open.

After a large number of German stick soldiers were shot dead, there were enough field tents here to allow them to live in.

In this way, Hu Biao and others first had a meal of the seized German canned food, which filled their already hungry stomach. Not to mention! Hu Biao and the others were lucky.

Because in addition to seizing some vegetables, the cans they seized were also canned pig heads from Desan.

As we all know, among the military canned foods throughout World War II, the soldiers’ canned beef and the German canned pork can definitely be regarded as the best products.

But compared to the Japanese family, those canned beef sold with sheep and canned lunch meat from soldiers, these things are much better.

In particular, Qingtian put the canned pork into the marching pot, and then added water and stewed it in a large pot with some vegetables.

Maybe it's not very good in terms of appearance, but the taste is really good.

In this way, Hu Biao and his group had a full meal.

Even these guys were waiting for the food to be stewed, soaking one foot in hot water, which somewhat eliminated some physical fatigue in recent days.

Finally, at around 1:30 in the middle of the night, Hu Biao got into a single tent.

I pulled a dirty blanket and covered it with my body. As a result, as soon as I closed my eyes, a mountain-like snoring sounded in my mouth.

The loud snoring sound was transmitted and gathered with the surrounding snoring sounds, forming a loud chorus.

So much so that after tossing and turning, the girl Ye Yu had to block her ears with cotton, and she fell asleep.

At this point, except for two open and two hidden sentries in this camp, everyone else has entered his dreams.

By the way! If everything is normal, they will get up in about 5 hours, then finish breakfast as fast as possible and start back to the nearest location on Omaha Beach, that safe regiment headquarters.

At that time, due to Hu Biao's outstanding performance in recent times, Lieutenant Don Collier's strong recommendation.

Of course, I also have to thank some of the dead Lieutenant Dyke for his death, which made the position of company commander of Company D vacant.

As Hu Biao expected, he might be able to wait for a promotion order soon.

The problem is, in the system's usual tasks, there will be no such thing as normal; therefore, a more difficult task is coming towards them.

Hu Biao and the others who were sleeping soundly at this moment still knew nothing about these things.

Compared with the new missions they are about to usher in, the Tiger tanks they experienced before and the 45-kilometer forced marching are just some appetizers.

By the way! After 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the date is now June 19, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th,

*******

After Hu Biao and others entered a sweet dream, some bad things that they didn't know were constantly fermenting.

At 2:03 midnight, in the dark English Channel.

At such a moment, a large number of ships still illuminated their headlights and kept shuttleing and sailing in them.

There is such a scene, which is actually not rare at all.

Because until now, the huge landing forces of the Allied forces have not successfully captured and have controlled a large port.

As for the huge number of landing troops, every day's combat requires a large amount of materials.

Therefore, the current Allied forces had no choice but to transport supplies to all beaches day and night through landing crafts, ferries and other ships day and night.

Then use cars and other means of transportation to continue to transport to the front lines everywhere.

Damn! That is, the wealthy soldiers can afford such a way of transporting materials, but Guo Jia would have gone bankrupt if he had been replaced by other people.

In this case, only landing craft can be used to transport supplies.

It is estimated that only by capturing large port cities such as Cherbourg can the situation improve fundamentally.

This is also the biggest reason why Hu Biao and his group received an armed reconnaissance mission, because the Allies have already started the attack plan against Cherbourg.

A large amount of equipment and troops are gathering in the outer areas of Cherbourg.

Once the attacking troops are brought to the flank by German sticks in large-scale armored troops in this process, it will have a great impact on the Allied forces' subsequent combat plan...

Looking out the window, the naval major captain Bruce Jones, the soldier.

After pouring a mouthful of hot coffee into his mouth, he immediately showed a very desperate expression.

Mainly in the middle of the night, he not only couldn't have a good rest, but instead had to drink strong bitter coffee to refresh himself and cheer up the task he was performing.

Bruce Jones, the captain of a Cleveland-class light cruiser in the Navy Sequence.

Considering that the famous submarine force of German-spoke is a huge threat to the material transport troops if it passes through the anti-submarine networks at both ends of the strait.

The Allies prepared a large number of escort troops to escort the fleet that transported materials.

Perhaps it is because of the reason why the poor Major Bruce Jones has never had a good rest since the beginning of Operation Overlord, and now he is already very tired.

After drinking a cup of bitter coffee, he still felt a strong sense of fatigue on his body.

For this reason, he said to the first mate beside him:

"Hey! Lieutenant Mark, please help me stare at this place. I need to go to the deck to blow the sea breeze. I hope the cold sea breeze can make my damn mind clearer."

After hearing this, Mark, the first mate with dark circles in his eyes, nodded and said:

"You go, Captain, although according to my experience, any other method except a bed is not effective, and it is not determined by the fundamental problem."

Under such teasing, Bruce Jones walked to the bow of the ship.

I don't know if it's because I'm a little sleepy, but the Major Captain stood behind the bow, although he always felt something was wrong tonight.

But he is now seriously out of the way, but he didn't expect why?

Finally, after a huge ups and downs and bumps at the bow, Major Bruce Jones suddenly woke up:

It was because the weather here in the English Channel changed and became even worse.

Damn it! Such a big storm, even light cruisers like them, which are thousands of tons, are undulating.

So if we exchange the target for landing crafts and ferries with limited tonnage and can be described as pocket-sized, wouldn’t the environment on the sponge be a huge disaster at this moment?

After thinking about this, Bruce Jones became in a magical spirit in a huge horror.

Immediately, he planned to run back to the command room to contact the command center, suggesting that they stop such a battle as soon as possible, which would be equivalent to letting the drivers of the landing craft carry tasks such as suicide.

The subsequent delivery of supplies can only be done until the storm has subsided.

As for whether the army troops that had landed in Normandy during this period would suffer a great loss in the counterattack of the German club due to lack of materials.

So, he, a small naval major, could not take care of so much.

Because of sacrificing a small number of people and achieving more people, this kind of thing is not in line with the spirit of freedom and cooking in Uncle Sam's family.

Unfortunately, Major Bruce Jones had no choice but to provide such a suggestion to the Allied Command.

Because he was running, a ferry, driven by the huge waves, must have collided firmly with the light cruiser he was in without control.

Suddenly in this strong collision, poor Lieutenant Bruce Jones lost his balance under his feet and was thrown far away in the impact.

He directly hit a cannon and fainted from the bloody head on the spot.

In other words, one of his sailors responded in time and grabbed his collar, otherwise the poor major would have been thrown into the sea.

And at the same time, on land in the Normandy region.

A heavy rain that had been brewing for some time had fallen down, and it was so big that people could only see a few meters away from their sight.

"Damn it! There are so many tents, why did you choose one that leaks at that time?"

When the cold rain was poured on his face and his head was dripping, Hu Biao was awakened directly with a shock.
To be continued...
