Volume One: All for Germany! Two hundred and fifty-two. The Place of Death

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Battle of Meuse-Argonne continued into October, and the offensive of the American and French coalition forces was seriously hindered.

    Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and troops, the German army still put up the most tenacious resistance.  Especially on the Montfaucon hills, the blows suffered by the Americans were simply unimaginable.

    On the position, there was a storm of bullets and grenades falling like raindrops from the Skeleton Commandos.

    The roar of light and heavy machine guns has never stopped, and the US military has suffered huge losses here.  By October, more than 3,000 people had been killed.

    "Death befell Confucius".

    Now, some people have begun to call this position that.

    On October 1, the U.S. military, which suffered heavy casualties, temporarily stopped its attack.

    On October 4, the Americans, who had been heavily supplemented, once again launched a full-scale offensive on the Meuse-Argonne line.

    The battle of death breaks out!

    A full week has passed since the beginning of the war, and the Meuse-Argonne has shouldered a lot of the Germans' hopes.

    German soldiers are fighting their last battle here, hoping to use their efforts to prevent the enemy from winning.

    Every step forward by the US-French coalition forces is at the cost of human lives. The desperate Germans have no intention of giving up the war.

    Week after week passed, and when the Battle of Meuse-Argonne entered late October, both sides were exhausted.

    The casualties on both sides have been difficult to count in numbers.  The entire battlefield was completely filled with corpses of the dead. Even in the position, when the enemy retreated, many soldiers lay directly on the corpses of their comrades and fell asleep.

    The Skeleton Commando has been reduced by more than half since the battle.

    But Montfoucon is still in their hands!

    Their left wing is cut off, their right wing is cut off, and even their rear wing is about to be cut off.

    Montfaucon would soon become an isolated position.

    But the Skeleton Commandos are still there!  They used incredible perseverance to hold on to this position.  They use their own blood and lives to complete their tasks!

    Americans are no longer surprised by the resilience of the enemy on the opposite side, but are instead filled with admiration.

    On the opposite side are enemies, but they are also a group of real warriors!

    The blessed hole made of iron and blood!

    On October 26, how many times was the enemy's charge repulsed?  No one in the entire position can calculate it.

    Anyway, the enemy retreated again

    Nikolay lay exhausted in the position. He never thought that the battle would be so tragic.  Now, he felt more and more guilty towards Major General Ernst.

    Countless times, he has been experiencing such cruel battles, but he is suspecting that he is a traitor?  This is so ridiculous.

    He is a true patriot!

    Even as a general, he still never left his front line!

    Wang Weiyi ignored what Nikolai was thinking. The most important thing now was to check the damage and renovate the position.

    A large number of enemies had already appeared on both wings. Montfaucon was surrounded by heavy siege, and the situation was already very critical.  But the order to retreat was still not given.

    Steck was bandaging his wound there, one of his arms was injured. Bunkerre was carefully inspecting the Mauser infantry, which had killed many enemies. Officer Sean was wiping his heavy machine gun.  The heavy machine gun is always the most reliable firepower on the battlefield.

    Si Dao took out his four knives and looked at them one by one.

    No one spoke, everyone was quiet.

    But once the enemy appears, they will be greeted by the fiercest firepower.

    "General, I heard that the Shindra position has been breached, and we may also be attacked by the enemy from behind." Looking at General Ernst, Steck asked.

    "Maybe." Wang Weiyi shrugged: "Who knows?"

    Yeah, who knows what the outcome will be?

    Some people will die soon, and some people will live on.  But as long as they are still here, the battle will continue indefinitely.

    "Hey, hey, the Americans are coming up, the Americans are coming up!"

    The loud shouting made the soldiers who looked drowsy just now enter a combat state.

    What appeared in front of the commandos were four tanks showing off their power. Involuntarily,The strikers looked behind them.

    They have the last A7V left

    In the brutal fighting of the past few weeks, all the commando A7Vs were destroyed, but they could not be replaced.  In the end, this German tank did not have many shells left. When this battle is over, the only A7V will become a decoration.

    However, even though there was only one tank left, she was still full of determination to fight to the end.

    The shells were fired, and one of the American tanks turned into a pile of scrap metal under the attack of the shells, but this did not affect the impact speed of the other three tanks.

    The artillery on the tank began to fire

    Artillery shells continued to fall and explode on the battlefield, and the rumbling sound was really uncomfortable.

    Another American tank lost its momentum, and the last two suddenly became frightened.

    ¡°Well done, hey, hey, let¡¯s do it again!¡±

    The Germans on the position began to cheer, but they waited for a while, but did not wait for the sound of artillery.

    "What happened?"

    "There are no more shells." The tanker and gunner jumped out of the tank and said helplessly.

    "Oh" Wang Weiyi just said "oh" lightly, without much surprise.

    Without supplements, it¡¯s already quite good for them to be able to fight to this point.

    Now, it¡¯s the turn of machine guns, submachine guns and rifles!

    The heavy machine gun in Sean's hand opened fire first, and then several Maxim and Madsen machine guns roared together. The Americans began to fall one after another, and the rest hurriedly fell to the ground, waiting motionless for the crazy firepower.  The blow passes.

    As they lay down, Montfaucon¡¯s firepower also stopped.

    After waiting for a while, the Americans raised their heads in fear. They looked ahead. After confirming that the enemy was no longer shooting, they stood up again.

    But at this moment, the Germans¡¯ airtight fire net enveloped them again

    Time and again, things like this are repeated on the battlefield

    Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett, who was commanding here, could only smile bitterly as he watched everything happening on the battlefield.  When he came to Europe, he heard countless legendary stories about the Skeleton Commandos. Even the proud Brigadier General Smith suffered a defeat at the hands of the Skeleton Baron.

    However, Lieutenant General Liggett always believed that there might be some exaggeration in this. Are there really such heroic officers and soldiers on the battlefield?

    But now he can be sure: yes!  And it's right opposite me!

    Since taking over the attack from the French, the losses of the US military have reached a shocking level. Almost every day, a large amount of death information is sent to Lieutenant General Liggett.  Some units have been replenished multiple times.

    He knew that the Germans on the opposite side had also suffered heavy losses, and they had not yet replenished their losses, but what was strange was how they had persisted until now?

    ¡°Moreover, they have no intention of retreating at all.

    Now the Americans can only speak with fear of launching an attack on Montfaucon, where it has become real:

    The place of death!

    The ground here is red and covered with blood. The trees here are stones and black, and they are wrapped by countless dead souls.

    This will become the sad place that Americans least want to remember.

    On the evening of the 26th, a British force also arrived on the battlefield. It was the British 42nd East Reims Division personally commanded by General Monlington.

    The Allied Powers Command has made up its mind: the Skeleton Commandos must be resolutely defeated here!  To this end, they also deployed the East Lance Division, which had fought against the Skeleton Baron, to the front line.

    "I really want to see what kind of person Baron Skeleton is." Lieutenant General Liggett said with a wry smile: "Many of my troops have been replenished repeatedly, and many of my officers have fallen to the German guns.  The enemy has been surrounded, but they have no intention of surrendering."

    "Do you want Baron Skeleton to surrender?" General Mollington looked very surprised, as if he had heard the most incredible story: "That is impossible, even if he fights to the last man, he will never surrender.  ¡±

    "He is a terrible, but respectable man." Colonel Rosen, who was on the side of General Monlington, looked at Montfaucon blankly and said: "No one can defeat him, from the Somme to the Marne, and then again.  Up to here, we have fought with him countless times, but failed countless times in his hands, General Liggett. Do you know,When we were young, we fought him not for victory, but to show off.¡±

    "What does this mean?" Lieutenant General Liggett did not understand.

    Colonel Rosen looked at his lost arm: "We will fail at the hands of the Skeleton Baron without exception, but after the war we can show off and say, 'Look, I fought with the Skeleton Baron.  And I survived, which is such an amazing thing'"

    There was some joking in his words, but they may have truly expressed the feelings of many officers of the Allied Powers.

    No one can defeat the Skeleton Baron, no one can defeat the Skeleton Commando, all the enemies who have fought him already think so.

    Being able to play against him is already the greatest honor in life!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
