Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 267

Li Mu completely blocked Memphis's mouth with his own actions, and the news of immediate reinforcements from the rear also gave everyone an imperceptible blow.

Combat is brutal, especially when it's almost a one-sided situation.

"Is everything set up? Especially the position on the ridge?"

In the early morning, Li Mu stood in the ditch in front of the town, secretly observing the situation ahead, and at the same time asked about the situation on the ridge through the walkie-talkie.

The position on the ridge has been gradually compressed after the two battles. Although most of the position is still in Li Mu's hands, due to the serious shortage of troops, Li Mu's arrangement last night has already reduced the deployment of troops there.

"The booby traps and ground thorns have been laid, and the German army seems to have no intention of attacking the ridge position."

Memphis on the other side spoke, and Li Mu also responded, telling him to step up his guard, and then turned his head to look at the mountain pass position in the distance in front of him.

Several scrapped tanks stood alone on the positions already occupied by the German army, and there seemed to be no traces of people on the snow-covered plain. Only when he carefully observed some familiar points, Li Mu could see some helmets shaking.

Obviously, the German army is also actively planning an attack.

Without strong logistical support, the German army had long pinned its hopes on a blitzkrieg for the Battle of the Ardennes Forest. Fighting for positions here was very disadvantageous for them.

And depending on the situation, if they want to complete the encirclement as soon as possible, they will speed up their attack on their position.

Li Mu secretly planned what might happen in the next battle, and at this time Feim came over.

Still wearing bandages, he quickly walked up to Li Mu and said, "Major, arrangements have been made, but the quantity is not large."

"It doesn't matter, I won't use those things unless it is absolutely necessary." Li Mu said without turning his head, but he suddenly thought of something and asked Fim.

"By the way, where are the wounded evacuated now?"

Feim looked a little embarrassed when he heard this question, pursed his lips, and then said: "The lightly wounded have returned to the position, and some who were injured and unable to hold weapons have been evacuated to a fodder warehouse one kilometer behind. We are in, but some of the wounded are too seriously injured to be transported, and they are still staying in the church in the town."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this sentence. Although he finally took a compromise yesterday and decided to let the wounded retreat, in practice, many wounded still remained on the ground.

For these wounded, this is not a good thing.

Li Mu just hummed, then picked up the binoculars and looked ahead again, Fei Mu didn't say anything, just saluted, turned and left.

Everyone knows in their hearts that resisting the German attack and waiting for the support of reinforcements is the only way to end the battle.

But the torment is different for everyone.

The entire position surrounding Verbeaumont has already entered a fighting state. While paying attention to the situation ahead, everyone is constantly strengthening the position. Some machine gunners even set up machine gun positions on some high-rise buildings on a whim. Protect it tightly.

Li Mu was also waiting for the battle with a gun full of bullets, and the sun gradually rose from one side to the top of his head. The cold winter sun warmed everyone, and when he was drowsy, there was a sudden scream; Come.

Li Mu opened his eyes wide first, and almost reflexively yelled to lie down, and then leaned down in the trench.

A huge explosion sounded in the next second, and grenades were fired from the armored troops of the German army in the distance, and then smashed heavily on the position of the town.

Immediately, people turned on their backs, screams came suddenly, and voices calling for doctors were endless.

The sound of the artillery gradually faded away, Li Mu straightened his upper body from the trench, shook the mud off his helmet, and then quickly raised his head to look at the front position.

In the binoculars, several tanks have already started, and at the same time, some scattered soldiers around have jumped out of the trenches and followed the tanks.

The sound of counter-attack gunfire sounded almost immediately. It was several machine guns on the position firing force, and the machine guns of the German tanks also fired at the same time. Not only that, the muzzles of the tanks also began to turn around.

Li Mu even had time to look at a machine gun position on his left, and the next moment a huge earth flower exploded there, and the machine gun suddenly went off.

In such an open plain and at such a distance, machine gun bullets that cannot penetrate the Tiger tank armor only scratch the opponent's back and allow the opponent to clear their position.

"Let the machine gun positions cease fire, move immediately, the infantry spread out, and approach the individual trenches!"

Li Mu shouted loudly, telling the soldiers to adjust their tactics immediately. The soldiers holding the bazooka quickly entered the front trench perpendicular to the position and took their positions. They waited for the German tanks to approach and opened fire immediately.

At the same time, there was movement from the ridge position, but there was no such intensive and intense gunfire. Obviously, the German troops were still exploring the way on the ridge.

The intention of the German army is obvious. Both sides advance at the same time. The armored forces attract and remove their main firepower points in front. Meng will fall apart in an instant.

At this moment, Li Mu could only hope that the ridge position could last a little longer, and at the same time immediately ordered the tanks in front of the artillery to suppress it.

The artillery fire quickly hit the German armored units, but it only caused interference to the infantry and some infantry fighting vehicles. Those tanks hardly stopped at all, and they were still rushing towards Li Mu's position at high speed.

Li Mu had no choice but to get the teams ready for battle. At this time, the bazooka team also started to fire, rockets fired towards the front, and the tanks began to slow down. The side machine guns began to fire.

People are dying at every moment at this moment. Li Mu has only more than 100 soldiers in his hands. Although there are still enough bullets, he is still at his wit's end in the face of the torrent of steel.

Li Mu could already see some German soldiers, and immediately ordered everyone to fire to stop them. At the same time, the machine gun positions in the town also started firing again and again, and the battlefield suddenly became extremely noisy.

But even so, Li Mu still couldn't stop the German army. Without the shackles of the narrow mountain pass, these tanks could fully display their fists and kicks, and beat Li Mu's team to pieces.

It's just that Li Mu still wants to work harder, the gun in his hand is constantly spewing flames, and the smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield is even worse, but the roar of the engine is getting closer and closer to the edge of the small town of Verbeaumont.

With the sound of an explosion, a trench position not far from Li Mu was lifted, and at the same time, the clicking sound of mechanical tracks was close at hand.

Li Mu looked carefully, but suddenly saw a gun barrel appearing from that place, and then an entire raised car body.

A No. [-] tank has broken through the first line of defense!
But at the next moment, a soldier stood up from the trench with a bundle of explosives, and threw the tank into the track the moment it landed on the trench.

The vehicle drove forward for a while, and the coaxial machine gun crazily fired at Li Mu's position, and the sound of an explosion suddenly came, the tank suddenly turned off, and the machine gun also fell silent in an instant.

"Hold on, beat the enemy to me!"

Li Mu couldn't help being overjoyed, and the soldiers were also excited about it. Li Mu ordered loudly, and the soldiers immediately started to fight back.

The shouting and killing on the battlefield continued.
