On December 19, 1944, ascend an area to start the 3rd day when counterattack in A in De Jun, the U.S. Army holds Nie in the palm toward Ba Si before the 101st airborne division is urgent, the Eisenhower that finish gives their line of defence fills leakage task. Defend in 20 days in, they experienced Tian Han ground aspic, be short of the garment to be fed less, surround with surround instead, make the central point that people pays close attention to again.
E guides even what wearing gram lieutenant below, will to a suburban make artificial forest region of Yakelin, defence is worn the battlefront of 2 kilometers. Dai Ke seems to not be fond of company management, often drop army to go out, the person that knows him knows, division headquarters comes down him, come E is only repeatedly " plating is aureate " . Right now, the E of brash go into battle can rely on company taxi officials only repeatedly.
Surprise in goods and materials below the circumstance that be short of, by what does E stand fast 20 days repeatedly?Above all, the 101st airborne division is not an isolated force fights. Enter what Ba Si holds Nie in the palm to still have division of the 10th armor and camp of a heavy artillery together along with them, although surround Ba Si to hold the De Jun of Nie in the palm to achieve 15 division, still having 4 among them is armor division, but rely on the fortification with solid city, below the help of advantage firepower, the U.S. Army still can contend.
The battle is very intense, the U.S. Army is disastrous. Be in those who do not have air force is covering below, can produce the power of artillery only. Although swift and fierce of heart army offensive, but the wastage of its artillery shell also is in mushroom. Attack city war especially, of goods and materials spend meeting twice growth, evolve finally to spend war for, after 3 days, both sides already used up almost to use up, entered seesaw battle.
Next, logistics supply of the U.S. Army is powerful. Accept the restriction of the influence of weather and condition, the U.S. Army in ring of encirclement is put in the circumstance with in short supply goods and materials really. Especially " dying recieves orders " E connects officers and soldiers is to be short of cure little medicine more, the front in Bai Xueai white can hold a group in the arms to warm oneself inside foxhole only, trench mortar leaves the artillery shell of a base only.
But clear as weather, airdrop of goods and materials began. Wintry coat, ammo, even the turkey of christmas is waited a moment, in a steady stream puts in front ceaselessly. The De Jun that same goods and materials lacks also loses the swift and violent offensive former days gradually, turn attack to was defended. E also endured the most difficult a week repeatedly, insisted to come down.
Of course, e connects sergeancy people hard result cannot do not have. In the front that gunfire flies violently, they wander in each foxhole, keep an eye on and remind parachuter people notice each detail. They do not need officer urge, because two years a very short time of half gets along, they are early namely " family " .
They are inside foxhole Lao Lao the daily life of a family, say a jest, alleviate intense sentiment of everybody. More commendable is, they did the thing that a lot of officer should do, no matter be how to fight, still invigorate morale, they understand the position of each brothers. In other words, e can do not have officer repeatedly, but cannot do not have sergeancy.
However, e needs new company commander repeatedly.During Ba Si holds Nie in the palm to be stranded, goodness two army stand erect in couples in city appearance. De Jun was given out to the U.S. Army that is surrounded " book of induce to capitulate " , by the Maikaolifu of deputy division commander of 101 division with " nonsense " decline, and as cling to pausing the 3rd a group army breaks through De Jun line of defence, get through the traffic on land, the lorry delivered ample supply, the wounded also removes in the future square.
The parachuter after rescue sb from a siege people be informed from the paper that sends, they become the hero of people take delight in talking about again. Of course, the beyond the mark apply colours to a drawing of media the 101st airborne division, this is apparent to the 82nd airborne division and division of the 10th armor be inequity, their pay little not at all at the 101st airborne division.
As to cling to pausing the 3rd a group army " rescue sb from a siege " Ba Si holds Nie in the palm, the apply colours to a drawing of media is more beyond the mark, let people misunderstanding be parachuter people be by cling to " rescue " . This exceeded parachuter apparently people approbate degree, they do not think to need the help of others. Nevertheless, look from the effect, cling to " rescue sb from a siege " the strategic meaning that Ba Si holds Nie in the palm still is more than tactical meaning.
Right now, let parachuter people glad is, can return Paris to continue rest and reorganization, enjoy the recognition of people and clean and comfortable bed. However, reality is, the Eisenhower sets out from war situation, the decision launchs attack in the round, but soldiers potential of home also is faced with dried up, without the reserve force. Accordingly, issue the attack of one phase, 2 airborne division will be sent on use.
506 groups the front of 2 battalion is blessing made of baked clay village, a sloping field that grows about 200 meters is between the woods and village. Want to razzia this village, the lidless that do not have block is apart from 200 meters is the biggest challenge undoubtedly. Be in charge of Captain of Wen Tesi of 2 battalion commanding, choice E finishs this job repeatedly.
Company commander wears gram lieutenant to show E formation of one word skirmisher repeatedly, the bullet that risking De Jun rushs ahead, in the distance the village is less than 100 meters distance, he cannot see 1 soldier suddenly. Then, made a disastrous decision, stop attack repeatedly completely, hide after two haymow, await 1. In the field of hollowness, so doing is court destruction undoubtedly.
In rear the Wentesi that supervise operation looks in the eye, be in urgently mind, e is sufferring meaningless casualties repeatedly, he takes a gun to be about to rush out. But think of very quickly to regard a representative as battalion commander, he conducts a run even, cannot so act recklessly. Rushing 4, after 5 paces, he abruptly face about, the Sipiersi that saw D is connected first lieutenant, "You go replacing E to join director " .
Sipiersi did not lose people's expectations to rush out, had comforted horror-stricken Dai Ke, direct E raids a village quickly repeatedly. And " single-handed " to Guo Dejun the friendly forces of other one side of defence area and village acquired connection; But those who make person strange is, he himself ran again unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers that this lets E connect are admiring unceasingly. After the battle ends, he becomes E to grow again and again.
That why Wentesiming knows Dai Ke to be no good, even does E go repeatedly fight in the van?It is, the integral quality that E connects is best, can finish such job. The physical ability that E connects is the most outstanding in 506 groups, 200 meters distance a bit won't affect the fighting capacity of company. More what is more,the rather that, company taxi officials are " battle-scarred " veteran, most those who be good at is to cooperate each other. Company commander " weak " some, not be big question.
2 be, serve as " casualties is tremendous " battle of assault fortified positions, company is willing to risk such risk without which. Let other 2 company go assault, not only can bring about a few " bad " say decline, and can not finish the job certainly. Choice E goes repeatedly, inform officers and soldiers namely, he will be right whole camp each company " treat equally without discrimination " , without deflection.
More important is, he does not have what good impression to Dai Ke, but also cannot be in its " inerrancy " dismiss below the circumstance he. Although E connects taxi officials to also this appeals to,beg, but he also cannot be risked " displease " ranking dangerous and personal feeling is in power. Best method, fall through making namely " serious mistake " go dismissing he, more appear manage place ought to.
Of course, this opportunity came very quickly, a commander that is frightened to defeat bravery is impossible to be held the position of again advocate of the official. Gladder is, he looked for an outstanding commander repeatedly for E. Then, when Xin Ke captain seeks his opinion, say of ground of his one is assured and bold with justice: "Remove the post that wear a gram, appoint Sipiersi to be company commander " .
Such result, laborious overcomes captain to agree at once. Because he also understands Dai Ke's antecedents and ability very, but the issue that plans to superior also has some " hold back from taking action against sb for fear of injuring others " , in a dilemma. Good now, the lieutenant that wear a gram " Wei battle " fact and reason are justifiable. Very fast, dai Ke was transferred 506 groups, went division headquarters.
"Appoint people by favouritism " the thing cans be found everywhere in the life, do not have in the harm of peacetime so apparent and intuitionistic; But go up in battlefield, this often involves the soldier's life and death. This is the blood that stepping on a soldier " upgrade climbs " , this kind " despicable " act happening is in alleged " democratic " the United States, can't help letting a person stare tongue-tied.
