Chapter 841 Did they promise to dispatch troops to support us?
The buzzing sounds made by the engines of the US transport fleet and the explosion sounds covered by German artillery fire from a distance are intertwined, making the already tense and intense battlefield fighting sounds add a special war color, giving the entire battle a little more different war angles for people to watch.
However, at the center of the entire battlefield, the land of the entire main battlefield was still shaking the earth and mountains bombed by artillery shells from both sides. Moreover, the bombing seemed to continue, as if it would never stop. The gravel and dust that were blown up fell from flying sand and stones to the bodies and heads of the US and German troops on the front line.
The casualties of the 34th Infantry Division of the US Army were very heavy for the German bombing. After learning the accurate casualties of his troops, Major General Charles W. Ryder, the commander of the 34th Infantry Division, was bleeding and in pain.
Because his troops had already been killed by the German army, and there were still many wounded soldiers in the remaining troops.
The reason for such a battle situation was that the battle of the 34th Infantry Division he commanded was too desperate; in order to attract the main attention of the German army and allow other troops to enter the Italian land to fight smoothly, he fought so hard and frantically to let his troops and the German elite troops fight wildly.
But even the division commander, Major General Charles W. Ryder, who had already had the psychological expectation and preparation of heavy casualties, could not accept it after witnessing the casualties and number of his 34th Infantry Division.
If General Marshall and Eisenhower had not agreed to give his troops, replenish new recruits, and reinforcements increased support, the division commander Major General Charles W. Ryder would have really withdrawn to the rear immediately.
Even if he does not evacuate from the rear, he will pretend to be defeated and retreat in a retreat-like manner.
As for whether he will go to military court in the future, he will not consider it. As long as he can save half of his 34th Infantry Division, everything will be easy to say.
Otherwise, once his troops are destroyed, his fate and future will be much better.
In other words, no matter how you do it, it will be more cost-effective to let more officers and soldiers survive.
Moreover, for British and American troops, if the number of casualties exceeds half, it will not be a shame even if they lead their own troops to surrender to the enemy.
Because many generals do this, even the German army has such a general approach.
"We have all received all the airdrop weapons and equipment, sir!"
"And the reinforcements sent by the 36th Infantry Division have arrived here, and are assisting our troops in the front line to carry the weapons and equipment dropped from the air supply!"
The combat staff member Delos hurriedly ran to the death of his troops, and the heartbroken division commander Major General Charles W. Ryder, who was suffering from heavy casualties.
"What's the situation with the German army now? Are they still continuing to cover artillery fire to attack us?"
The division commander Major General Charles W. Ryder asked back.
"All the German military's combat operations have temporarily stopped. Our reconnaissance forces are closely monitoring the German military's every move. If there is any abnormality, they will be reported to the commander immediately!"
Operational staff member Delos replied immediately.
"How many troops have been dispatched to us now?"
"Are there any contacts between Major General Andre Dodi's 2nd Moroccan Infantry Division, Major General Joseph Guevaral Monsabel's 3rd Algerian Infantry Division, our 2nd Army Commander Major General Jeffrey Kess, and the 36th Infantry Division and the 1st Armored Division B battle group?"
"Have they promised to dispatch troops to support us?"
Chief General Charles W. Ryder continued to ask.
"The 36th Infantry Division has dispatched a regiment of troops to us, which is the 141st regiment I just mentioned to you! Should the commander come over and meet their commander now?"
Operational staff Delos continues to report.
"Okay! Take me to see them, and I also want to see the situation on the front line. Why did the German army suddenly stop the attack?"
Major General Charles W. Ryder, the division commander, nodded in agreement.
"Yes! Sir!"
The combat staff member Delos also agreed while leading the way.
