Chapter 755 Ranger, be a striker!
The motto of Rangers is not something that has been possessed at the beginning of the formation, but a motto that appeared after the C Company of the Second Battalion of Rangers fought a battle during World War II. +◆,
During World War II, the Rangers participated in the 2nd 5th Battalion of the Normandy Landing. On the D-day in 1944, the main force of the US Army's 7th and 5th Legions, while the Rangers belonged to the 5th Legion. The main force of the 5th Legion was the 29th Infantry Division, the right wing was the 1st Infantry Division, and the left wing was the "Provisional Ranger Group" composed of the 2nd and 5th Rangers.
Generally speaking, American infantry in World War II was characterized by their youth, high education, and generally lack of combat experience, but for Rangers, the battlefield was where they showed their abilities. On the day of landing, the US military encountered fierce attacks from the 352nd Infantry Division of the German Army. When other infantry were suppressed by firepower and could not advance, the strictly trained Rangers quickly broke through the defense line without fear of life and death.
During the Normandy Landing Battle, the Rangers suffered heavy casualties, but the Rangers' bravery and good combat not only made the infantry of the 29th Division, which fought side by side, admired them, but also received praise from General Normand.cota, deputy commander of the 29th Division, thus leaving behind the immortal motto "Rangers, be a vanguard!" (rangers, leadtheway)
After landing in the second battalion, 58 people were killed or injured, so that the entire company was disassembled. Perhaps after this, you still don’t know how the C Company of the Rangers Second Battalion was legendary, but you only need to know one movie - "Save the Soldier Ryan".
This movie tells the story of Rangers, the story of the C Company of the Second Ranger Battalion. The motto of "Rankers, Be Forwards" is called out from this legendary company that was beaten to disassemble.
Many times Rangers are not considered special forces, but they can always solve problems that need to be solved before the special forces reach. This is the world's most powerful light infantry unit, and its style is speed.
Facing the legendary company standing in front of him, the cavalry stretched out his hand and pointed at the end of the corridor and said, "Return to your post and perform your duties."
The voice is not loud, but it has the absolute majesty that cannot be disobeyed.
"Boss, the little knight is dead, and there are more than twenty other brothers who die. We have to take revenge, we must take revenge. We cannot be cowards, we cannot be cramped turtles!" The Ranger rushed to the cavalry and said, "Maybe they have won honors, but is this really honor? This is a shame! The great humiliation of the Rangers' troops is even more a shame that you will never lose in your life. In addition to shame, there is also sorrow, because the little knight is your last son!"
The Rangers were going to fight and to take revenge, and they were unwilling to retreat here to act as turtles. This was a shame, an endless shame, far exceeding the mission of going to Somalia to search for reactionary warlord Aidid in 1993.
At the beginning of the operation, Delta Special Forces members quickly subdued the enemy, but the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter stranded in the air attracted more militants.
As a result, two Blackhawk helicopters were shot down and caused casualties to multiple teammates, while the rest were surrounded by militia groups and could not leave. Although the coalition launched four rescue operations one after another, they were all stubbornly resisted by the militia. Until the evening, the coalition again sent a two-company task force including the Navy SEALs and Rangers, two Malaysian mechanized companies, one Pakistani tank platoon and Air Force special forces to rescue.
After the fierce battle, the coalition finally rescued the besieged members, but also paid a considerable price: the operation paid 18 deaths and 80 injuries. The Rangers alone had 16 deaths and 57 injuries and 1 missing and 1 captured loss. Among them, there were very few survivors of the second "Black Hawk" helicopter, and even the two snipers of the Delta Special Forces who went to reinforce were shot and killed.
This time, the Rangers' large-scale casualties also indirectly led to the resignation of Clinton's Secretary of Defense Cohen.
This incident was made into a movie called "Black Hawk Down."
Rangers seem to have a fate with the movie, and many of their operations have been brought to the screen. The reason why they were brought to the screen can only explain one problem: this is a legendary, flesh-and-blood special forces.
"Return to post! Do your duty!"
Pointing to the end of the corridor, the voice amplified, and anger began to appear on his face. This was not the scene he wanted to see.
"Boss!!!" the Ranger looked sad and angry and shouted at Xiaoqi, "We really can't sit here and do nothing, we have to do something..."
"We are soldiers, we are glorious Ranger soldiers! The soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty. If the order is not issued, we have no power to take any action without authorization!" The cavalry took a step forward, reached out to tidy up the rangers' equipment, and said in a low voice: "I understand your feelings, but you should also understand my feelings. We are soldiers, and soldiers must obey orders. When the orders are not issued, we have to sit here. If you have to do something, wipe your gun a little brighter. Don't put too much oil on the gun, because Somalia is very hot. Also, don't rush to die, there is always a chance for us to die. Rangers, go back, stay in your posts, perform your duties, and the flying star and stripes will see what you do."
After saying that, the cavalry turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor, without even looking at the rangers standing in a row.
He was patient, enduring the pain in his heart, suppressing the flames of revenge that rose in his heart. Because he was a soldier, a professional Ranger soldier with glorious glory under the Stars and Stripes!
"Sir!——" A Ranger wanted the cavalry to come and shouted loudly: "Headquarters ordered the third platoon of the C Company of the Second Battalion to go to Africa to carry out reinforcements. The battalion commander of the second battalion appointed a commander and attack immediately! Attack immediately!!!"
Hearing this voice, the eyes of the cavalry changed instantly. Just now, he was filled with sadness and depression. At this moment, he was like a tiger about to leave the gate, with a strong murderous aura all over his body, and his eyes were striking.
"Confirm the order!" the cavalry roared in a low voice.
"Confirm the order!" Rangers shouted: "The headquarters requires the third platoon of the C Company of the Second Battalion to attack immediately and reinforce the African battlefield. Airborne location: Dadabu, Kenya! Cut off his retreat and kill with one blow!"
The command is here, the command is here!
"Ranker!" The cavalry turned around and rushed to the Rangers behind, bared his teeth, and roared with a ferocious look on his face: "Be a vanguard!!!"
"Ranker! Be a forward!"
"Ranker! Be a forward!!"
"Ranker! Be a forward!!!"
“…”
The cavalry was the first to rush to the camp airport. He didn't have to endure it. He could clear the name of the Rangers, wash away the shame, and avenge his son under the command!
The helicopter took off and moved quickly to the military airport. The rangers were dispatched, and the legendary Rangers Second Battalion was dispatched, and the one who led them was the Ranger's soul - the Knight!
