Chapter 397 The British 1st Army Tank Brigade and the 70th Infantry Division were defeated
"Commander Montgomery! Oh no! The German artillery coverage was too fierce. Our First Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry Division were about to be killed! What should we do now? Should we go and support them?"
Seeing that the First Army Tank Brigade and other troops were about to be defeated by the powerful German artillery fire, Jamide, the commander of the British 7th Armored Division, anxiously told Montgomery who was retreating with him.
"We now have no other way than to evacuate here as soon as possible and let them talk to us quickly!"
"We must never rush over to rescue them now, because once we do this, it will waste their scheming of rescue us and let us fall into the German encirclement!"
Montgomery shook his head and sighed with a little sadness.
"But are we just watching them die in battle? And we still have more troops now than these Germans!"
The division commander Jamide was still unwilling to give up the hope of rescuing the First Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry Division, so he continued to speak in a fight for his tone.
"Escape quickly! The German plane is about to divert attention and bombard us. If we don't retreat, we will be in trouble!"
Montgomery still shook his head and said disagreeingly.
At the same time, his eyes flashed, staring at the constant bombings bombings that were bombing the 1st Army Tank Brigade in the distance, and the 70th British Infantry Division, he said with concern.
"this……"
Seeing this, the division commander Jamide stared at the group of German bombers that were bombing his friendly forces with great concern, and said speechlessly.
But Montgomery did not pay attention to his reaction, but urged his 30th Army, the British 7th Armored Division, the troops of the South African First Infantry Division and the 22nd Guard Brigade as soon as possible, to evacuate immediately.
The troops behind them are the Polish Carpathian Brigade and the Reserved South African Second Infantry Division, with a total of 6 divisions and two brigades.
"Damn the German army! Could it be that our First Army Tank Brigade and the 70th British Infantry Division were completely destroyed here? Damn it! Why is our aviation force still not coming and covering our troops!"
Looking at the friendly forces under the fierce bombing of the German army, the division commander Jamide gritted his teeth unwillingly and hated him to the core.
But no matter how much he hates the German army now, the First Army Tank Brigade and the 70th British Infantry have been greatly affected by the German aviation forces, infantry and tanks, and artillery fire to slaughter.
"Don't retreat even if you die! You must resist the attack of the German army! Our main force, the 30th Army, is about to evacuate safely! Everyone must hold on!"
At this time, facing the increasing number of casualties of his soldiers, Milton, the commander of the 70th Infantry Division of the British, also shouted loudly in pain.
"We also want to resist the German attack! But the German artillery fire cover and bombing of the bomber group are too fierce! We have already suffered most of the soldiers, and our troops are now less than half! If we continue to fight like this, we may be wiped out today! Commander Milton!"
Ben Jonson, the commander of the British 70th Infantry Division, rushed over with scars and responded to the division commander Milton.
"Even if the entire army is to be destroyed here, we must cover Montgomery and the 30th Army to leave here! Have you seen our Polish Carpathian Brigade and the Reserved South African Second Infantry Division, a total of 6 divisions and two brigades fighting the damn German troops?"
"If we, one of the main forces of the 13th Army, continue to flee without any backbone, can our reputation as the 70th Infantry Division be maintained? Can we still face our dead comrades? Can we still go back to face the people of our British Empire?"
However, the division commander Milton continued to retort stubbornly.
At the same time, he also picked up a Browning heavy machine gun in his hand, and fired wildly at the German army that was rushing towards him like a wolf or a tiger in front of him.
At that moment, he seemed to vent all the grief and anger in his heart, and seemed to shoot all the German troops who killed his subordinates.
Faced with the division commander Milton, who was gradually in a state of war madness, the regiment commander Ben Jonson quickly picked up the anti-tank gun in his hand and fired at a leopard tank not far in front of him.
"Damn German army! I'm here with you!"
After the regiment commander Ben Jonson pressed the firing button of the anti-tank gun, he shouted loudly as an anti-tank shell shot quickly on the body of the leopard tank.
However, the 6-pound anti-tank gun shell did not destroy the Leopard tank, but instead let the opponent's 75mm caliber cannon be killed with one shot.
After the regiment commander Ben Jonson was killed, the general attacks of the 508th Heavy Armored Division, the 1st German Airborne Division, the Hermann Goring Division, the 15th Armored Division and other German troops under Mandofire were fierce and powerful.
"Even if I die, I will bring you a few more damn Germans to accompany me to bury you!"
When the First Army Tank Brigade and the 70th British Infantry Division only fought one infantry regiment, the division commander Milton also gave up the Browning heavy machine gun that had been fired without bullets, then picked up an m157mm anti-tank gun, aimed at the German tank in front of him with blood red eyes, and roared in a stern manner.
But before he could fire the shell, he was bombed by a German ar-234 jet bomber and became an unrecognizable corpse and buried on the ground.
As he heard that he died, the remaining British troops were defeated and either fled desperately or immediately surrendered with their guns.
So the battle, which only started for more than two hours, ended with the First Army Tank Brigade, almost completely annihilated as the British 70th Infantry.
Fortunately, Montgomery's led the 30th Army, one of the main forces, to evacuate safely. In addition, the Polish Carpathian Brigade and the Reserved South African Second Infantry Division, a total of 6 divisions and two brigades, most of which retreated safely to the rear and joined the 30th Army troops in Montgomery.
At this time, the British and American airline reinforcements arrived late and arrived over them for cover.
In fact, these British and American airline troops did not want to be so late, because they were also attacked by a large number of German fighter jets on the way to and from here.
So after they had a fierce air battle with the German fighter fleet, they were able to divide some of the planes to aid Montgomery's troops.
