Xiang Wuwei's location is not far from the 185th Highland where the 215th Regiment is stationed.
It's only a few hundred meters away, completely within the range of a large-caliber machine gun.
As long as you are willing, Xiang Wuwei can provide fire support to Highland 185 by staying where he is.
However, Xiang Wuwei did not intend to do that. On the one hand, Xiang Wuwei did not receive the relevant order. On the other hand, Xiang Wuwei knew very well that ordinary judges are extremely arrogant, such as the Christopher next door.
If Xiang Wuwei provides support without Christopher's request, Christopher may not necessarily appreciate it, and may even blame Xiang Wuwei for meddling in his own business. This is not without precedent. Just before the war started, the Third Regiment saw something wrong with the 215th Regiment's position setting.
Reasonable, a few officers wanted to talk to the people of the 215th Regiment, but Colonel Christopher behaved very arrogantly: The Army of the French Republic does not need anyone else to teach how to fight.
Listen to what the tone is
Thinking of this, Xiang Wuwei felt that he had turned into a dog, and the Germans who were attacking Hill 215 were a group of rats, and Christopher was naturally the arrogant cat.
Well, if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant. Let’s see how long this sick cat, Christopher, can hold on.
The so-called hero always appears in a critical moment to turn the tide. When Highland 185 could no longer support him, he led the tank troops to support him like a divine general. I believe that the expression on Colonel Christopher's face would be very strange.
Wonderful.
While being immersed in the illusory fantasy, Xiang Wuwei suddenly felt the roar of a machine gun not far away: Girl, who the hell dares to cross the line?
Xiang Wuwei cursed angrily. Before the battle, Xiang Wuwei divided the position of the three regiments into several unequal sections, which were defended separately by ten tanks. Unless there was a battle attrition, no one was allowed to cross the boundary. This was also for the better.
Distribute firepower to avoid waste.
Now Xiang Wuwei's 301 is still alive and kicking, and does not need any friendly support at all. Who dares to be so bold as to eat from the bowl and look at the pot to cross the border?
Angrily, Xiang Wuwei turned around the turret and looked in the direction of the machine gun fire. He was dumbfounded for a moment.
It's not Xiang Wuwei's men at all, but a truck with a steel structure bunker installed in the rear compartment.
The entire carriage of this truck has now been turned into a bunker. Like the bunkers on the battlefield, the bottom is a steel structure shell. There is a heavy machine gun hidden in the bunker, which is wreaking havoc.
Unlike the bunkers on the position, there are no sandbags piled on the outside of this steel structure to increase defense capabilities.
Xiang Wuwei understood the reason instantly.
This bunker is on a truck. As long as it can prevent German stray bullets, there is no need to worry about indiscriminate bombardment by German artillery, because after the Germans retreat, the truck can drive away.
This may be the tank that Xiang Ankang has built. Not to mention, the idea is pretty good.
Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Wuwei felt someone knocking on his turret hard.
Why did Xiang Wuwei continue to turn around, and then he saw the adjutant Ma Chengde next to Xiang Ankang.
The regiment leader asked you to bring a few tanks to support 185. Ma Chengde's words were concise and to the point.
Why, that Christopher didn't come to beg us. Xiang Wuwei was not happy.
Xiang Wuwei's professionalism is not bad, but his temperament of using personal anger to avenge the public and forgetting the righteousness for small gains must be changed, otherwise this will be the case for the rest of his life.
The layout is not enough.
This is an order from the joint command, go quickly. After Ma Chengde said that, he turned around and ran away.
This is the front line, with stray bullets flying everywhere. If you accidentally get hit by one, you may die. Ma Chengde's wife and children have just arrived in Corsica, and he doesn't want his brothers to help him take care of his orphans and widowers. God knows.
How much care will be taken? If someone is overzealous, it will be a big loss.
Since it was an order from the joint command, Xiang Wuwei stopped fussing and used semaphore to command 302303305 to follow him to Highland 185 for support.
On Highland 185, the 215th Regiment has been locked in a deadly battle.
The phone line has not been repaired yet. Christopher sent three waves of 12 people to the headquarters to ask for help, but until now, the reinforcements have not arrived.
The German offensive was very fierce. Two regiments of German troops besieged Highland 185. When the infantry launched the attack, the artillery was still firing shells all the time. Even if it accidentally injured the German troops, it would kill the French troops.
On the battlefield.
Christopher has dispatched the last company in his hands and distributed weapons to the staff of the combat department and the operators of the communications department. Once the front line calls for reinforcements again, Christopher will lead the staff and operators to reinforce. That will also be Christopher's last
effort.
At the 185th frontline position, the soldiers of the 215th regiment and the attacking German troops were already red-eyed.
All the barbed wire fences have been destroyed, and all the mines laid have been detonated. The German forward line is less than 50 meters away from the 215th Regiment's bunker. It seems that only one more charge is needed, and the two sides will fall into brutal hand-to-hand combat.
The soldiers of the 215th Regiment had forgotten their own safety. Some machine gunners were half squatting in the shooting position, with most of their bodies exposed outside the bunker and shooting at the Germans. The Germans were not helpless and had the ability to shoot accurately.
Soldiers are searching for such targets all the time.
So the machine gunner died quickly, and the assistant gunner would immediately take over, then the second gunner, the ammunition hand, and even the ordinary soldiers.
The Germans also knew that they had to rush forward to weaken the machine gun damage of the defenders, so they attacked very resolutely, leaving no room for error.
They are all battle-hardened veterans who know when to be lazy and when to risk everything.
Before the close combat, both the offensive and defensive sides have one final last resort: grenades.
Following the officer's order, both sides threw the grenades they had long held in their hands at each other. Countless black dots crisscrossed the sky for a while. The longer one was the German M24 wooden handle grenade, and the rounder one was
French Mills Oval grenade.
Whether it is a wooden handle or an egg, it will explode after a few seconds, destroying everything around it.
The dead soldiers were dying, and the injured soldiers were wailing loudly. As long as they could still move, they grabbed everything at hand and threw them at each other, whether it was grenades or stones, the helmets of the dead soldiers or the soil on the ground.
The machine gun in the bunker can no longer play much role at this time. Unlike the water-cooled mg08 equipped by the Germans, the Hachikes heavy machine gun equipped by the French is air-cooled. The continuous shooting capability of this heavy machine gun is not as good as the mg08.
Over time, the barrel will become hot, and then the barrel will burn dark red. At that time, you must stop shooting, otherwise it will cause the barrel to explode.
The French also knew that the situation was not good. In fact, the French also used some physical cooling methods to cool the barrel, such as wet towels, but this led to another consequence. A large amount of water vapor accumulated in the bunker, which would obstruct the shooter's sight.
.
The battle has been going on for almost an hour now, and it is getting dark. Both sides know that this is the last attack of the day, so no one wants to give up.
After all, the Germans were outnumbered. After the heavy machine guns in the bunker gradually misfired, the Germans began to approach the bunker. As long as they moved a little further, those soldiers with good accuracy could throw grenades directly into the bunker's shooting holes.
At that time, it will be the end of the 215th Regiment.
