"They are here!"

While Qin Chuan and Eberhard were gathering together to smoke a cigarette, someone shouted.

Qin Chuan and Eberhard hurriedly threw away their cigarettes and raised their rifles.

Looking at the opposite side through the sniper lens, Qin Chuan unexpectedly discovered that the US military was still undercover with tanks as last time, and this time they had not even enough tools for forced transit, because many temporary rafts appeared, and many American soldiers temporarily made some floating transit tools and planned to swim... To be honest, in this case, swimming alone would be safer than using assault boats or rubber boats.

However, this is also somewhat inconsistent with the US military, which has always been very high-end equipment.

"Something is wrong!" Eberhard said: "Americans shouldn't play like this! They acted a little too brave... They knew that this would not be able to break through our defense!"

Qin Chuan understood what Eberhard said: the German defense has not weakened, and the US military's firepower and offensive intensity have not increased but decreased. Then, unless there is some unexpected situation, it will be difficult for the US military to break through the German defense line.

Qin Chuan immediately contacted Kuhn, located on the north of Great Solsey Island.

"Report the situation!" Qin Chuan said: "Have the Americans also launched an attack on you?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!" Kuhn replied: "They obviously lack the swimming tools. I think they should have put their main force on Highway 69!"

To be more precise, because Montgomery interfered with it, the supply of the 3rd US Army was not sufficient. Later, the 3rd US Army had to even drag the German artillery and shells seized from the warehouse all the way from Normandy to the time when they were seized from the warehouse to the front line and put them into use.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan hid in the trenches in a daze, letting gunshots outside and cannons sounded. From time to time, several shells exploded nearby and even blood and corpses fell from the sky.

If this situation happened to the Soviet Union, Qin Chuan would not find it strange at all.

The characteristic of the Soviet army is that their pressure is not soldiers or public opinion, but superiors or Stalin, that is, they are responsible to the superiors rather than to the subordinates. This leads to the Soviet commanders who can blindly ask soldiers to charge bravely, and even if they lose a war, they can shift the responsibility to the soldiers.

The US military is different. They are both responsible to both superiors and subordinates. Public opinion can even force commanders to explain and even be questioned by the military.

For example, Patton has not been able to be promoted because he was not good at fighting. In fact, his performance on the battlefield is much better than Montgomery. His problem is that he speaks in front of the media without any choice. In addition, the "ear check incident" was tightly grasped by the media, which led to Patton's talent, but Eisenhower did not dare to use it.

From this point of view, Patton dared not be like this when commanding the war, as he is now, which can almost be said to have caused American soldiers to rush up and die.

On the other hand, the grassroots officers and soldiers of the US military also have great autonomy. If they believe that this is a battle that sacrifices the lives of their subordinates meaninglessly, then they will choose to disobey.

In other words, the US military must have their purpose in doing this, and to be more precise, there is a reason why Patton convinced his two infantry divisions to carry out this meaningless transit.

What is this reason?

The only reason is that the forced crusade carried out by these two divisions is a feint attack.

If the Big and Little Solsey Island is a feint attack, then their real offensive target should be... Xiangbier Island!

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan quickly called the baker in charge of Xiangbier Island.

"Be ready for battle now!" Qin Chuan ordered: "The Americans are likely to attack you!"

"But, Lieutenant Colonel..." the baker asked in confusion: "How can they come!"

"I don't know!" Qin Chuan replied: "I only know that they can come over and do what I said!"

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!" The baker responded, and immediately organized the defense of Shanbier Island.

But what the bakers were a little powerless was that there were only more than 3,000 people stationed on Xiangbier Island, and these 3,000 people were not cadet soldiers. They were more of car soldiers, cooks, maintenance personnel, etc. Some people had not even shot targets several times.

Even so, the baker ordered them to enter the bunkers and trenches to prepare for defense.

After Qin Chuan issued the order, he held up his telescope and poked his head out to observe the movements of the enemy across the river.

Then he saw the "smoke" on one side.

In fact, it was not "smoke", but the exhaust of tanks and vehicles... Qin Chuan made a judgment immediately. It was an armored force, an armored force with a large number of tanks.

However, tanks cannot cross the river, so what's the use of a large number of tanks?!

Qin Chuan will understand the next second.

"Ambulatory tanks!" Qin Chuan shouted: "They have amphibious tanks and maybe amphibious landing ships!"

Eberhard couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this

"Lieutenant Colonel!" said Eberhard. "You mean, they were equipped with amphibious tanks and amphibious landing ships like we did?"

Qin Chuan didn't know how to answer... The idea of ​​amphibious tanks and amphibious landing ships should be said to be originally Americans. They invented these things according to battlefield needs and applied them to European battlefields when fighting against the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield.

Qin Chuan just used them in advance on the German army based on his own advantages.

But at this time there was no time to explain so much. Qin Chuan replied: "Yes, they plan to use amphibious tanks to cross the Moselle River. Their target is Xiangbier Island... Tell them to prepare for anti-tanks!"

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!" Eberhard immediately conveyed the order to Shanbier Island.

"All artillery concentrates in the middle of the river!" This is the second order given by Qin Chuan.

The so-called intermediate river channel refers to the middle position between the small Solsey Island and the large Solsey Island.

This place should have been the strongest part of firepower, because the small Solsey Island can form cross-fire power on it.

The problem is that the artillery on the small Solsey Island is mostly abandoned... As mentioned before, the artillery on the turret was replaced with machine guns, and only some of the worn artillery were concentrated in the rear according to their model and caliber and used as artillery.

Therefore, Qin Chuan dared not hope that they could block the offensive of the US armored forces.

So Qin Chuan issued the third order: "All me63s are concentrated in the middle!"
Chapter completed!
