Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 148: Go forward
Because there was no obstruction, the landing became like an outing. As the combat operations were in full swing, the German troops began to operate at high speed like a machine. The battle schedule formulated by the German army is quite detailed, and each unit is trying its best to take actions in accordance with the steps in the battle plan.
"After going ashore, all followed me to the back of the beach and ran to the side of the road to stop." A sergeant platoon leader gave orders while helping the deputy shooter of the machine gun team adjust the strap of the gun frame. This is a six-man heavy machine gun team, carrying a Lafette tripod rack more than the regular machine gun team.
"We won't be fighting for the time being, put away all the bayonets, don't accidentally hurt your own people." The sergeant called, and several riflemen in the platoon began to remove the bayonets from their rifles.
These infantrymen are no longer in the cement products of the British battle, but serious LCV (vehicle personnel landing craft), originally designed to carry a platoon of 36 fully armed US infantry platoons Board the coast, but in actual combat, because the landing troops have to carry additional equipment and ammunition, they usually don't pack so many people.
The number of German infantry platoons surpassed that of the U.S. Army, so the German version of the LCV is larger than the original version, and the rated number has increased to 48. Now this landing craft is only loaded with 37 soldiers, because some space is needed to carry a trailer, which carries a base number of ammunition, radio station batteries and first aid medicine.
"Guys, we're almost there!" shouted the helmsman standing behind the armor plate.
"Everyone, get ready." The sergeant yelled, and at the same time grabbed the handle on the bulkhead.
After a burst of impact, the landing craft stopped, a crew member pulled down the release lever, and the springboard door slowly opened forward.
"Go ahead and run, pay attention to your feet!" The sergeant leaned on the bulkhead and commanded loudly.
"Good luck to you guys." The landing captain raised his hand and saluted the sergeant farewell.
"Good luck, too. This is a very smooth voyage, captain." The sergeant saluted the captain, then patted the shoulders of the two soldiers next to him. Several people pulled the trailer and rushed. Get off the lifeboat.
"Everyone is running! Don't be stupid!" The platoon leader yelled to the soldiers who were running deep into the beach.
"Which one arrives last, we will wash the socks for the entire platoon tonight." The sergeant's command had just been issued. The group of infantry soldiers was like a whip on their buttocks, one by one like wild dogs running off the bridle. Started to run forward.
===========================================
"Does it feel better? Lieutenant colonel, you really shouldn't have eaten the last cake." Jurgen handed a military kettle to Randolph's hand.
"But...but the cake tastes so delicious." Randolph was eating for breakfast, and when he got on the landing craft, he was shaken by the waves, and the colonel's stomach began to feel uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, it will be better when you get ashore." Horn sat on an ammunition box with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Yes, you don't have to worry about me. Don't forget to take a photo of the landing. I will show it to the head of state." Randolph opened the lid of the kettle and filled it with two mouthfuls of warm water, only to feel a little better in his stomach.
"This is not a combat operation, this is an armed parade." Captain Dietertz said to Merkel.
"But the scene is magnificent, isn't it." Sergeant Major Merkel followed up the harness of the Mauser sniper rifle.
"I hope I can encounter a real battle next time. I heard that these Arabs are quite brave and good at fighting." Sergeant Daniel of the Grey Sword team said cheerfully to his comrades.
"The arm injury you sustained last time is not healed. Don't let those Bedouins cut off your baby." The comrades didn't give the sergeant any face. They laughed and started joking around Daniel.
"After landing, we followed the armored vehicles of the reconnaissance platoon. Major Wycomb arranged the vehicles for us." Randolph screwed on the lid of the canteen and handed the canteen to Jurgen.
"Follow the vanguard? That's exactly what I wanted." Jurgen buckled the kettle on the food bag in the back.
Because of the possibility of actual combat, all the SS officers on the ship are armed, and all of them are equipped with Y-type suspenders used by infantrymen, with triple submachine gun magazine bags, gas mask cans, and food bags hanging around their waists. There are a lot of grenade bags and water bottles. The officer has an MP40 submachine gun, and the other non-commissioned officers carry their own weapons. The Gray Sword team also specially brought an extra MG40 light machine gun.
"Sir, what is the origin of those SSs?" On a mechanized landing craft behind Randolph, the landing captain curiously asked a lieutenant next to him.
"I heard what kind of special investigation team is. It is said that the lieutenant colonel who led the team came from Berlin."
"Don't bluff me, how come such a big man came here..." The landing captain was startled.
"I have seen a lot in Poland, all of them bear the name of the special operations team. It is said that there is also the Gestapo of the General Security Administration." The lieutenant smiled strangely at the captain after speaking.
"What special investigation team did you say before that they are? Could it be..."
"Shhh, I didn't say anything." The lieutenant patted the captain on the shoulder.
"Sir, Captain Slimman reported that the operation went smoothly. The Second Infantry Company has set up defense lines on both sides of the road on the south side of the beach." Next to the barrel car parked in the middle of the cabin, the communications staff held a microphone to the battalion. Long reported.
"Order him to continue to guard, intercept and detain all vehicles and personnel coming from the south, and if they encounter resistance, they will be wiped out on the spot." Wycomb looked down at the map spread on the front of the car and marked it with a pencil. time.
"At this rate, we can complete the entire landing half an hour earlier than planned." Wycomb raised his head and said to Kurt.
"I think it is possible to let the third company advance to the Yanbu port attack, plus the motorized infantry of the two companies, and strive to take the Yanbu city before noon." Captain Cot suggested.
"There are many herders along the coast here. Our landing cannot be kept away from the people in Yanbu for too long. Perhaps witnesses have already reported it." Captain Grumma, the combat staff, reminded.
"What you said is likely to happen, Grumma." Wycomb frowned and thought for a while.
"Just do as you said, order the second row and third row of the third company and the second row of motorcycles to search and advance in the direction of Yanbu City. If the enemy intercepts, you can launch an attack." Battalion Commander Raised his wrist to check the time.
"It is now 8:06, and the second phase of the operation begins. Has the battalion vehicle landed?" Wycomb looked at the combat staff.
"Uninstallation in progress." A staff officer reported.
"Contact the [Archangel], we are going to start the action ahead of time." Wycomb ordered to the correspondent.
==============================================
"Captain, Major Wycombe has sent a contact, and they have begun the second phase of operations." A naval signal trooper ran up the bridge quickly.
"How many troops are left unlanded?" Colonel Rudolf turned around and asked the first officer.
"Almost three more waves need to be transferred."
"Wycomb was too impatient, but I can understand." Colonel Rudolph walked to the side of the bridge and raised his binoculars to look toward the coast.
"To release the shipborne reconnaissance aircraft, they need intelligence support. Speed up the transfer of troops and strive to complete the final transfer within fifteen minutes." Colonel Rudolf lowered his telescope.
"Should we still act according to the original plan? Captain." the first officer asked.
"After releasing the landing craft, stop the recovery operation and order these ships to stand by near the beach. We will come back to pick them up again." Rudolph walked to the chart table.
"When the last landing craft is sent, we will pull out the anchor and set sail, and sail out of Yanbu Port as planned. These armies may need our artillery support." Colonel Rudolf pointed to the route marked on the chart.
============================================
"Gentlemen~IndoMTL.com~Time is running out, let's go first! Armor! Go ahead!" On the coastal road 800 meters away from the [Archangel], Captain Snar waved his arm forward. Six heavy armored vehicles in three rows and two rows began to advance along the highway towards Yanbu Port in the southwest.
"Go ahead, let's take that city, gentlemen!" Randolph stood in the passenger seat of a barrel truck, stepping on the dashboard with one foot and pointing forward.
"Hi! Reinhardt! For the head of state!" The SS members chanted slogans in unison. Amid the roar of engines, a special SS detachment consisting of three bucket cars and six tricycles followed The armored car in three rows and two rows rushed away.
"Damn! Catch up with the guys ahead! Don't let the SS run ahead of us." The eight four-wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles in three rows and three rows were unwilling to fall behind, and the drivers increased their horsepower to move forward. Dash.
"Wait a minute, don't go, these bastards, come back! This **** scumbag!" The motorized infantry platoon leader leaped and cursed by the road, his men were still in trouble. Loading ammunition and equipment onto the truck, in the blink of an eye, the group of armored vehicles had run out of sight.
