After one dull explosion after another, one American soldier staggered from the bunker they found in the nearby area, with blood constantly surging out from the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even the corners of their mouths.

And at this moment, even without asking the doctor, ordinary soldiers could see at a glance that these soldiers who were bombarded by German shelling and became internally injured will not survive long.

In fact, after being hit by the fierce German artillery fire, they had not let their blood shed for long before they could stand and lie down in their own pool of blood.

These US soldiers who had just been bombed were soldiers of the 34th Infantry Division of the US Army.

The 34th Infantry Division of the US Army is under the jurisdiction of the 133rd Infantry Regiment, the 135th Infantry Regiment, and the 168th Infantry Regiment; the 125th Field Artillery Battalion, the 151st Field Artillery Battalion, the 175th Field Artillery Battalion, the 185th Field Artillery Battalion, the 109th Medical Battalion, the 34th Cavalry Reconnaissance Detachment, the 756th Tank Battalion, and the 760th Tank Battalion.

This 34th Infantry Division of the US Army was transported to the entrance of the Leary Valley by the US Army to prepare for rest and recuperation.

Originally, all the officers and soldiers of the 34th Infantry Division of the US Army were excited, full of confidence, high spirits and high morale for being able to successfully airborne to Italy.

And they wanted to meet the German army immediately and fight with them to show their strength and strength.

At least, Major General Charles W. Ryder, the commander of the 34th Infantry Division of the US Army, divided his troops into two groups according to the orders of Alexander and other commanders, and planned to go deep into the area near the village of Cairah controlled by the German army, from there, breaking through the German defensive front and crossing the Rapidor River, and heading south to capture the town of Casino.

The other route was preparing to cross the mountains and cross the mountains north of the Maiola Mountains, and to join other British and American troops in the West River to attack the Gustav defense line garrisoned by the German army.

However, before the US military wants to cross the Rapidor River, it must first cross a swamp.

Originally there were bridges there, but who knew that they were all demolished by the German army.

Moreover, the terrain and fortifications there were all modified by the German army, making it a hard bone, exposing all the US troops and attacks to the German army's defensive crossfire.

In response to this, Major General Charles W. Ryder, who originally wanted to divide his troops to capture the German town of Casino and Gustav's defense line, was instantly confused.

So in the end he was ready to make up his mind to invest the troops of his entire division and attack Lapido River.

But after he had just organized his troops to start the attack, the German group of shells flying all over the sky seemed to be worthless, and suddenly fell from the sky, bombing all the officers and soldiers of his 34th Infantry Division of the US Army to cry, or they were bombed into lifeless corpses, and cut off their breath.

But even so, the division commander Major General Charles W. Ryder still bravely and fearlessly commanded the 34th Infantry Division of the US Army under his command and fought desperately against the German army.

This allowed the 756th Tank Battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Harry W. Svetin and the 133rd Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Kali L. Marshall to fully occupy the 213th Heights stationed by the German army and a abandoned Italian barracks in the nearby area.

For such an unexpected record, a glimmer of hope and excitement was finally revealed in the face of Major General Charles W. Ryder, the division commander, after almost half of his troops suffered casualties.

But before he was happy for a long time, he knew the strength and number of the German troops fighting them.

They are the 44th Grenadier Division of the German Army and the 71st Infantry Division.

"Oh my god! Why didn't Commander Alexander and Commander Eisenhower tell me that the Germans fighting my troops were amazing two full-scale divisions with elite weapons and equipment!"

"And they also have a large number of air forces to carry out air strikes and bombing support, as well as the artillery fire cover of the artillery division that just emerged to support the operations!"

"How do you ask us to fight such a huge battle with a huge gap in strength?"

"Are you the rhythm of letting me and my troops die? Commander Alexander! Commander Eisenhower!"

When the division commander Major General Charles W. Ryder looked at the 213th Heights that had just been occupied and suddenly covered by the dense artillery fire of the German army, he stared at the bloody American corpses that were bombed and roared in disbelief.

But in the face of his roar and insulting voices that were so unreasonable, the German artillery fire covered the second round of attacks roared and bombarded him in an endless manner.
