() Compared with the historical incident in which he was accidentally bombed to death by a heavy bomber of the Eighth Air Force in the first round of bombing on the first day of "Operation Cobra", Leslie James McKenna in this time and space

Lieutenant General Er was not accidentally bombed, at least not yet. Just now, a group of bombers flew in the wrong direction and almost dropped bombs at his location. Fortunately, after the bomber formation issued a bombing warning, the liaison officers on the ground quickly

Only by responding appropriately did a particularly serious incident be avoided.

Under the guidance of ground personnel, these bombers finally dropped their bombs at the correct location. Due to the existence of the liaison team, during the first day of bombing, all bombers dropped their bombs at the appropriate place, without even one incident occurring.

Accidental bombing incident. However, both Ron and Li Mei knew that this was only the first day. At this time, the battle lines of the US military and the German army were relatively neat, and the positions of both sides were relatively clear. Under such circumstances, an accidental bombing occurred.

The probability is naturally smaller. Although the subsequent bombing will be smaller in scale, it is estimated that by that time, the US military and the German army will likely form a crisscross situation, and the distance between the two sides will be very close. At this time, the accidental bombing

The possibility will become even greater.

In the original history, the first day of the US military's offensive did not go smoothly. On the first day, the US military was supposed to advance 3 miles forward as planned. However, perhaps because it was worried about the counterattack of the German armored forces, the US military did not move a large number of armored forces.

Instead of throwing them into the attack, they kept them as reserves to deal with German tanks. As a result, when they encountered some stronger German strongholds that had not been destroyed in the bombing, the American infantry suddenly

There was nothing they could do with these support points. In fact, the German defense line was not complete, and there were huge spaces for insertion between the remaining support points. However, in order to ensure the integrity of their front, the US military on the first day

These flaws are not well exploited.

If the U.S. Marine Corps was responsible for the attack, they would definitely have been able to break through further on the first day of Operation Cobra. In World War II, the Marine Corps' combat style had always been tougher than that of the Army. For example, offensive

Sometimes, if an enemy bunker appears in front, the Army will usually stop and wait for M4 tanks or other artillery to come up to solve the problem. The Marine Corps only needs to have a Browning automatic rifle and several M-1903 rifles to cover it.

, dare to use flamethrowers or even blasting tubes to solve problems.

Therefore, facing the same position and letting the Marine Corps attack, it may be possible to win it in one day; but if it is replaced by the Army, it may take a week. However, this does not mean that the Army is inferior to the Marine Corps, because most of the time, the Marine Corps

More people died when the Army captured one such position than when the Army captured four or five such positions.

It is common practice in almost any country for various armies to look down on each other, and it also exists in the United States. Although it has not gone as far as the Locust Army and the Locust Navy in Japan, where they regard each other as the number one enemy beyond the enemy forces.

But rivalry between the military services has always existed. The Army, Navy and Marines have always disliked each other. So the guys in the Marine Corps will seize every opportunity. The Army is a softie. What about the Army? They will also ignore it.

To put it bluntly, the Marines are all idiots.

However, the situation has changed during this time and space attack. The existence of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing has greatly improved the US military's ability to attack these isolated solid support points. In the original history, although the American P-47 fighter jets

They will also come with bombs and rockets to support them. But as a non-professional attack aircraft, the accuracy of the P-47s of the Army Aviation in dropping bombs is too low. It is okay to attack exposed living targets, but it is not necessary to attack bunkers.

It is really unreliable to target such targets. The precision of rockets is much better. Unfortunately, the power of rockets is too weak to hit such targets. In addition, there is a lack of direct contact between air and ground to directly indicate the target.

Such segments, so historically the U.S. Army Aviation’s efficiency against such targets has been very poor.

But now, after the PA-47 attack aircraft of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing has improved its dive flaps, it can basically be used as a dive bomber, which is quite useful for attacking targets such as bunkers. In addition,

With liaison officers on board to indicate the target, such remaining support points can no longer block the advance of the US military.

The British learned the lesson from the last time they moved too slowly in Operation Goodwood, giving the Germans who had been stunned by the bombers time to recover. Therefore, as soon as the three rounds of bombings ended, the U.S. military began to move towards

The German positions advanced.

As in history, on this day, the Seventh Army did not invest much armored troops. The number of M4 tanks around the infantry was quite limited. Cabell's platoon was lucky, they were assigned an M4 tank, although this tank

It's a bit older, and it's still equipped with a 75mm short-barreled gun, but having a tank is always a good thing.

The tank drove ahead at a high speed, and the soldiers followed it and spread out in a skirmish formation. There was originally a minefield in front of it, but in the morning, several fuel-air bombs fell here. Such bombs exploded when

It can create a huge overpressure, which is enough to detonate any anti-infantry and anti-tank mines. Therefore, Cabell can now safely lead his platoon through this minefield.

As soon as Kabell crossed this minefield, he suddenly heard an ominous "chichichi" sound in his ears. Kabell knew that it sounded like a chainsaw or a large piece of cloth being torn apart.

There is only one thing that makes a sound, and that is the mg-42 general-purpose machine gun known as the cloth tearer or Hitler's chainsaw. This machine gun has a high speed of 1,500 rounds per minute and is extremely powerful. Being hit by this machine gun basically means

It is a dead end. Because this kind of machine gun fires at an extremely high speed, once it is hit, it will most likely hit not one bullet but four or five bullets. After the machine gun fire speed exceeds 1,000 rounds per minute, people will not be able to distinguish individual bullets.

The sound of gunfire and the firing sound of mg42 is not like the "click-click" sound of a Czech or Browning machine gun, but the "chichichichi" sound of a high-speed rotating chainsaw.

Kabell immediately dodged behind the M4 tank, but there was no way a whole platoon of soldiers could hide behind the tank. Some soldiers quickly fell to the ground, while others jumped into the crater left by the bombing.

However, there were still two unlucky guys who moved a little slower. One twitched and fell to the ground, and then stopped moving. The other one was already making a throwing motion, but was hit by a shot and fell down.

He was shouting "Help me!" on the ground.

The M4 tank moved forward and blocked the unfortunate guy who was still shouting.

"Medic, damn, it's almost over!" Cabell pulled the trembling medic holding the medicine box from the crater, pushed him towards the unlucky guy who fell on the ground, and even touched his butt.

He was kicked from above.

This medical soldier is called Jim. He is a coward with a college diploma. He knows a lot and has good skills, but he is very afraid of death. This is not his first time on the battlefield, but this guy still hasn't developed the courage. However,

Cabell knows that this guy has another advantage, that is, once he starts working, even if shrapnel is flying around him, he can immediately forget that he is there. However, every time after doing this, when he goes to bed at night, he

I always have nightmares and scream.

Jim crawled over and over, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that the unfortunate guy who was knocked down was Parker, a young recruit.

"Where did it hit?" Jim asked.

"On my belly, my lower body...I can't move my lower body at all, and I don't feel anything at all. I'm going to die...I miss my mother..." Parker cried and removed the towel that covered his belly. Jim looked at

In his abdomen, blood was pouring out. Obviously, the bullet just came from here.

"I'll bandage it for you. It doesn't matter. It's nothing if you hit the abdomen. It won't kill anyone." Jim quickly began to bandage his wound. Regarding his injury, Jim had to take it easy, but Jim knew that the lower half of his body was missing.

Consciousness is definitely not a good thing. The bullet probably injured his lumbar spine. If that were the case, he would have to stay in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

"Stretcher! I need a stretcher!" Jim bandaged Parker's wound and shouted to the back. Two soldiers crawled over dragging a stretcher. The mg-42 machine gun just fired a few rounds.

Then he disappeared, and no one knew when this cunning guy would suddenly appear again.

Two soldiers dragged the stretcher to Jim's side, and the three of them worked together to put Parker on the stretcher. "Don't touch him, keep his body in the same position and don't move? Especially don't touch his waist!" Jim fixed it with a belt.

Parker, while explaining to the two soldiers.

Two soldiers dragged Parker's stretcher back. Then Cabell's platoon began to move forward again. This time, everyone stared at the surroundings with wide eyes. No one wanted to be the third one to be harvested by mg-42.

Target.

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire like a tearing machine rang out again. This time everyone's reaction was even more agile. The soldiers who were already squatting down almost fell to the ground in an instant and rolled into the crater.

inside, or hiding behind the M4 tank.

This time the Germans' reaction was different from last time. Last time they only fired for a long time and then disappeared. But this time, the mg-42 machine gun actually kept firing.

This approach allowed the Americans to quickly find his location. Just ahead at the two o'clock direction, there was a reinforced concrete bunker that had not been destroyed.

The M4 tank fired a shot at the bunker, but obviously the effect was not very good. The machine gun only stopped for a few seconds. It seemed that the 75mm grenade could not hit the bunker at all.

The M4 tank turned slightly and drove towards the bunker. The tank commander may have thought of firing the shell directly through the firing hole of the bunker by approaching it.

The 7.92mm bullet of the mg-42 hit the tank's armor, making a clanging sound and causing a series of sparks. However, the 63mm thick sloping front armor of the M4 tank was not something that this kind of thing could hit.

The tank drove to about a hundred meters away from the bunker and stopped, and the 75mm artillery began to point at the target. By this time, the gunfire in the bunker had stopped, and it was estimated that the machine gunners were already preparing to escape.

But at this moment, from the side of the trench that had collapsed half, a German soldier suddenly stood up, and then, an "Iron Fist" flew towards the M4 tank that was only 30 meters away from him...
