A river less than fifty ters wide is nothing. Although the river is a little turbulent because of the lting snow. But for a well-trained army, there is no obstacle at all. If it weren't for the blocking of the Aricans on the other side of the river, the German army could easily cross the river. Even German engineers were able to erect pontoon bridges within extre events.
However, because the bridge on the river was blown up by the US military a long ti ago. It is not easy for the heavy equipnt of the German army to cross the river. It is necessary to wait until the German engineers have built a solid pontoon bridge before they can cross the river. But the prerequisite is that the German army must establish a solid position on the other side of the river, so that the engineers can build the pontoon bridge without being affected.
The German 3rd Army, 8th Army, and 14th Army all dispatched an infantry division to cross the river at one ti. Tens of thousands of German troops struggled across the 50-kiloter-long river. They carried the boat that had been prepared a long ti ago and pushed it into the river. Then take the squad as a unit, jump into the boat, and row hard to the other side of the river.
On one's own position, mortars and machine guns are firing, suppressing the US positions on the other side of the river and providing fire cover for the troops crossing the river.
However, it is obviously impossible for the U.S. military to allow the German army to cross the river so easily.
"Get into position quickly, the Germans are starting to cross the river, we can't let them cross the river, otherwise we will die!"
The low-level officers of the US military shouted loudly.
Countless Arican soldiers raised their heads from the trenches, set up their weapons on the trenches, and prepared to fire. There are also many Arican soldiers who got out of the anti-gun holes and joined the battle.
Although, the fierce German firepower caused a lot of casualties to the U.S. military. However, the surviving Arican soldiers are still fighting bravely. The densely packed landing troops on the river made these Arican officers and soldiers fearful. But as the officer told them, they have no way out now, and if they don't want to die, they have to stop the Germans in the St. Croix River.
"Da da da! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Various types of light and heavy machine guns of the U.S. military began to fire, and the M1 semi-automatic rifles in the hands of ordinary soldiers also began to fire.
For a while, a dense rain of bullets enveloped the German soldiers who were now crossing the river.
There is no place to hide in the small wooden boat, even lying on the inside of the boat. But the wooden hull will still be penetrated by bullets.
"what!"
The screams kept ringing out, and German soldiers were constantly being hit by bullets.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The mortars on the US military positions also began to fire. One after another, the shells fell like raindrops.
Although the mortar shells are not very powerful, there is no problem in dealing with those small wooden boats.
"Boom!"
A shell hit a wooden German ship. The entire small wooden boat was torn apart by the explosion, and the German soldiers on it suffered heavy losses. After the wooden boat was blown up, the soldiers on board fell directly into the river. Where the water is shallower, there may be a glimr of life. But where the water is deep, it is dood. In the case of being fully ard, there is no possibility of escape at all.
On the position behind the U.S. military, the U.S. artillery, which had been silent, also started shelling at this ti.
"Fire and hit hard. Blow up all those **** Germans!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A large number of artillery of the US military began shelling, 203mm heavy howitzers, 155mm heavy howitzers, and 105mm light howitzers fired one after another. Dense shells fell into the German positions like rain. The U.S. military used this thod to suppress the firepower of the German army, thereby creating favorable conditions for its own side to resist the German army's landing operations.
The continuous small wooden boats were blown up, and the German army, which was launching the battle to cross the river, suffered a lot of losses.
"Woo!"
The Luftwaffe fleet in the sky will not sit still. They attacked imdiately.
A dive bomber dropped a heavy aerial bomb on the artillery position of the US military. imdiately. The entire artillery position was shrouded in flas and smoke. Several cannons were blown up in the explosion, and even the barrels were twisted into twists. Many of those artilleryn were blown up and torn to pieces. The rest of the U.S. artilleryn were also frightened, and began to run away.
"Asshole, fire the anti-aircraft fire and shoot down the German plane." The commander of the US military ordered.
The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the US positions began to shoot, trying to shoot down the German aircraft. However, this is undoubtedly very difficult. One after another, German fighter planes began to attack the U.S. artillery positions, destroying the U.S. artillery. At the sa ti, it also suppressed the firepower on the U.S. defense line, provided support for the troops crossing the river, and covered them to cross the river with relatively small casualties.
The U.S. Army Air Force also scrambled to take off a large number of fighter planes in an attempt to hold down the German Air Force and prevent the German Air Force from attacking the U.S. ground forces.
However, the U.S. Army Air Force's fighter plane was blocked by the German Air Force before it entered the battlefield. After the German air search radar discovered the U.S. fighter planes, they imdiately took off a large number of fighter planes to et them. This made it impossible for the fighter planes of the US Army Air Forces to approach the battlefield at all.
Although it doesn't take much ti to cross the river less than 50 ters away. However, the U.S. military seized this opportunity and blocked the river with powerful firepower, causing considerable casualties to the German troops crossing the river.
"Shhhhhh!"
The US military's position was covered by a rain of rockets. Intensive explosions sounded, and the US troops on the defense line suffered heavy losses in the explosions. Many firepower points were destroyed by German rockets.
Hundreds of helicopters flew to the battlefield. These helicopters are both ard helicopters and utility helicopters. Compared with ard helicopters, general-purpose helicopters do not have rocket launchers. But also with aviation machine guns. At the sa ti, you can also open the hatch and use the heavy machine guns erected there to shoot at the ground.
For a while, German helicopters began to ravage over the heads of the U.S. troops, using aviation machine guns and rockets to destroy these U.S. troops.
"Bazooka launch, kill the German helicopter!"
An Arican second lieutenant officer ordered.
"Phew!"
A bazooka roared and flew towards an ard helicopter.
The helicopter gunship did not have ti to evade and was hit by a rocket on the spot.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion, and the German ard helicopter turned into a pile of fireballs and fell to the ground.
For the German helicopters, the U.S. military is not defenseless. Rocket launchers, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. are all prepared for these helicopters.
