Kapitel 19: Momentum

The third company's soldiers at position G repelled the enemy's attack again and again.

The British's offensive is indeed fierce, but the third company under the leadership of Alex, the momentum and morale they show is quite surprising.

Especially with the stimulation of the Iron Cross, the confidence and courage are even more vivid.

Of course, there have been casualties, and six soldiers have laid on the ground forever.

Although the losses are quite negligible, it is still unbearable for Alex, who is stretched thin of the number of soldiers. But, where can he find a solution to this? This is war and no one has a 'spare' soldier they can send.

There will always be a large number of people dying in war.

The one who performed very well in this day's battle was the South African Halal Farmer, whose shooting method was as amazing as his knife. Albeit he is from the '1st Regiment of the South African Infantry' he held no loyalty to those British as they treated him like a 'slave' in their camp and also he is an orphan, and yet he wants to go home from this wretched war. And the only way for him to return to his motherland is to fight to survive with these German Soldiers.

If you compare him to Bunkerley, Alex firmly believes that this person is the same as Bunkerley.

From his simple self-report, Alex knew that Halal had never shot a rifle before. But some people always have some 'gifted' talents in these areas, and often they will be proficient in things they have not experienced before.

This is a talent that cannot be imitated.

On this day, the third company repelled the enemy's 8th rush-like charge, and the G position was like a copper wall and that wall was barring the British.

But when the sun rose the next day, the situation turned sharply!

Shit just got real.

British made a major advance today at this position.

The artillery fires heavily bombarded the position, and the endless mortar shells rained, which made it look that the British want to flatten this area..

The G position was too close to the British, and the British's mortar shells could easily hit the position, while the German artillery could not give them the most direct support.

The uninterrupted artillery fire almost smashed flat the G position. A soldier named Rideau did not hide well. As a result, the whole person was blown up to the sky. When the body fell, even the word body is an overstatement, various guts and gore from Rideau splashed near that mortar impact…

Everyone is watching it silently, they grit their teeth, they can't do anything, and else they'd have the same fate as Rideau.

British Tanks began to appear!

Four tanks at a time! This is a huge threat to the G position!

This is too much even for me, yet Alex smiled in his heart. While preparing to order defense, a battalion commander of the Curcelette battalion appeared on the position.

He brought the order of Major Denison: The third company is to completely withdraw from the G position and the B position!

"What?" Alex thought he heard it wrong.

"Yes, Lieutenant, you didn't get it wrong!" The commander slammed the table and told Alex: "The British 82nd infantry division has broken through our left wing. We must retreat! Our artillery will only cover this area for 30 minutes!"

"Damn!" Alex yelled angrily.

That damn military base gave his task to hold on to position B, but now he has to retreat? How can I complete the task?

"Lieutenant, there is no time, I have to inform the nearby troops!" The commander said and then leaped out of the position dexterously.

"Retreat, retreat!" At this point, Alex has no way: "Retreat to position B, meet Sergeant Hall, and leave this damn place!"

The soldiers rushed out of the enemy's artillery fire, and at this time British Tank began to blatantly head toward here.

"Lieutenant, you?" Adolf Hitler said anxiously.

"Go, you go retreat first! And tell the sergeant to retreat immediately!" Looking at the Tank, which is getting closer and closer, Alex anxiously said.

Looking at the soldiers leaving the position, Alex was relieved and was about to evacuate. Suddenly there was another person in the position who was constantly shooting outside the field. He was furious and wondering why the soldier did not listen to his orders and was confused seeing the person.

It's Halal Farmer!

Alex forgot that Halal Farmer couldn't understand the German language. He didn't hear the order to retreat. When he was about to tell him in Afrikaans, the air suddenly whistled.

Artillery Barrage!

Alex stepped forward and pulled Guo Yenfeng down to the position and various Artillery shells swept on them…

Shell after shell of artillery fell, Alex and Halal Farmer could not even lookup. And the four Tanks opposite of them, two of them were instantly destroyed by the artillery!

Heck, this is not the Artillery fire of the British! This is the German artillery!

German artillery coverage began early!

Was the command ahead of time? or that the damn commander told him the wrong time?

The gunfire bombarded everything around him and enveloped everything around him. Overwhelming, it seems to destroy everything here!

The British army that was attacking was instantly splintered.

But the problem now is that Alex and Halal Farmer can't run out!

How is the B position? How are the third brothers? Nothing is known now…

...

"Damn, why did you shell it in advance!?" Sterk yelled out loud.

"Retreat, retreat, leave this damn place!" Sergeant Hall also yelled angrily: "Give me the messenger!, I'll shoot that damn bastard!!! These damn unreliable commanders!"

Hitler's face was a bit unnatural, and he was originally a commander.

As he looked out of the field, he was shocked to find that the G position had been completely covered by the German Artillery. He grabbed the shoulders of Sergeant Hall: "Sergeant! , Lieutenant is still there!"

The German soldiers who were preparing to evacuate stopped their steps. Yes, Lieutenant Wernst is still there!

"Retreat, retreat immediately!" Sergeant Hall did not change his mind: "If we will not leave this position, we will all die under our own shells!"

"No, Sergeant!" Adolf Hitler became stubborn at this moment: "Lieutenant is still there, we can't leave the Lieutenant!"

"I am responsible for the survival of the whole company! Corporal Adolf!" Sergeant Hall solemnly said: "Lieutenant Wernst will take care of himself. Now I am the highest-ranking personnel here. I will never give up everyone's life because of one person !"

After that, he told his subordinates loudly: "I am now ordering you all to leave here!"

Although the soldiers were full of affection for Lieutenant Wernst under the command of Hall Sergeant, they still had to leave the B position with reluctance.

Adolf Hitler's eyes are red.

Damn Sergeant Hall, damn Jew! Like Steven, Hall is also a damn Jew! Selfish and shameless! How can they just give up the Lieutenant?

All Jews are the same, they should be expelled from the army, no, expel the whole of Germany! Even, it's time to send them all to the gallows!

However, Hitler now has nothing to do with the experience of Lieutenant Wernst.
