The Travelers of the Heavens

The ever-increasing fighting intensity made the 15th Army of Country M, which was divided and surrounded in Metz and nearby areas, gradually unable to withstand it.

On the southern defense line of Metz, more than 10,000 people of the 106th Infantry Division under the 15th Army are being encircled and suppressed by the superior force of more than 60,000 Kyushu Army.

The battle officially started on the morning of February 1, 1952. By 4 o'clock in the afternoon on the 2nd, the position of the 106th Infantry Division shrank visibly. More than a day of fighting caused heavy casualties to the division. The 15,000-person infantry division was More than half of them were injured or killed.

The most terrible thing is that the connection between the division and the 15th Army Headquarters has been interrupted, which means that all their actions will be temporarily unable to be fed back to the headquarters.

Brigadier General Underwood, commander of the 106th Infantry Division, sent several attempts to break out and report to his superiors, but all failed. Now he can either lead the remaining troops to break out of the encirclement, or wait until he runs out of ammunition and food and the entire army is annihilated.

In fact, no matter what choice he made, Underwood would not survive, and his troops would definitely be wiped out.

The battle continued until noon on February 3, with less than 6,000 men remaining in the 106th Infantry Division. They were surrounded by the Kyushu Army and fought independently in five non-adjacent villages.

About one battalion of the 482nd Regiment of the Division was chased to a village called Bonnla.

The regiment leader, Colonel Clanton, was injured by explosive fragments during the transfer. Although his life was temporarily saved, he suffered a lot of pain due to lack of medicine, but he still insisted on commanding his men to fight.

The Kyushu Army pursued outside the village and first bombarded the tall buildings in the village with armored artillery vehicles and 75mm field guns, intending to clear the condescending fire points in the village.

There is a clock tower in the center of Bonnla Village. It looks to be a bit old. The remnants of the 482nd Regiment placed the only M1919 machine gun here.

The shooter of this machine gun was Bruton. After he followed the platoon leader Schebutt to withdraw from the position, he also met his companions from other troops. Everyone was chased by the Kyushu Army. During the retreat, they were captured by Clanton, the commander of the 482nd Regiment. Gathered together, the number is about a battalion.

However, the Kyushu Army soon pursued them, and Colonel Clanton led his troops into the village of Bonnla.

"Whoosh.. With a"bang" sound, a 75mm artillery shell burst out of the anti-tank gun on the armored gun truck and accurately hit the village bell tower.

However, the bell tower was solid and did not collapse immediately. The machine gunner ambushing the bell tower Bruton felt bad, so he immediately withdrew the bell tower with a machine gun.

He and the two ammunition ran out of the bell tower, and the intensive artillery fire blew up the bell tower.

After nearly an hour of bombing, Kyushu completed the siege The army attacked the village from four directions simultaneously

"Da da da"

"Attack quickly, attack!"

With the intensive gunfire, the officers of the Kyushu Army called on their men to rush into the village, striving to eliminate the enemies in the village as soon as possible.

"With a bang, an M country soldier lying on the roof of a farm fired a shot at the Kyushu soldiers below, and then he immediately moved his position.

One of the group of Kyushu soldiers passing below was shot dead by the M country soldier just now.

"Da da da"A group of people shot aimlessly, not knowing where the bullets came from.

The soldier from Country M is named Cade, and he is very famous in the 106th Infantry Division because his marksmanship is very accurate. He ranks first in the division in every shooting training, and his bullets are perfect.

Sergeant Cade changed his position every time he fired. After several hours of fighting, he killed 20 Kyushu soldiers.

However, due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and after several hours of high-intensity fighting, the defenders' ammunition had run out, so the Kyushu Army occupied the village and eliminated the M Army.

Sergeant Cade successfully escaped from the village under the cover of darkness and became the only survivor of the 106th Infantry Division and even the entire 15th Army of Country M.

By February 7, several other villages were also captured by the Kyushu Army, and the remnants of the 106th Infantry Division of Country M entrenched in the villages were completely wiped out.

On February 8, the Kyushu Army went straight to the headquarters of the 15th Army. When the"Bao" tank appeared not far from the barn, the headquarters personnel discovered the enemy's situation and hurriedly moved, but it was too late.

After a short battle, all headquarters personnel, including the commander of the 15th Army, Major General Hokies, were killed. At this point, the 15th Army of Country M completely lost effective command, and each unit could only fight independently and was eventually eliminated.

The scout sent by Hokies earlier did not come back until the headquarters was taken away. Perhaps he had encountered the Kyushu Army during the reconnaissance and was shot dead. No one can say for sure. The situation on the battlefield is really... It's so confusing.

The fighting in the city of Metz was particularly fierce. The 16th Armored Division of Country M, which was besieged here, put up a fierce resistance. However, due to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, their supplies were gradually exhausted in the high-intensity fighting.

The Pershing tanks lay dormant because they had no fuel and were forced to serve as fixed forts. Soon they ran out of shells, and hundreds of Pershing tanks became piles of scrap metal.

By February 11, the 16th Armored Division of Country M was completely wiped out. The Kyushu Army suffered more than 12,000 casualties, 30 tanks, 61 armored artillery vehicles, and 88 artillery pieces.

In the battle in Metz urban area, more than 17,000 M troops were killed, 143 tanks were captured, and 82 were destroyed; 1,356 other vehicles were captured, and 628 were destroyed; 42 artillery pieces were captured, and 102 were destroyed.

The 15th Group Army of M country has three other infantry divisions, namely the 96th, 99th and 102nd Infantry Divisions. They were also divided and surrounded in the area around Metz. By February 18, the three troops were also completely wiped out by the Kyushu Army..

On February 20, the"Southern Group" headquarters of the Kyushu Army reported the results of the battle. After the news was transmitted back to the capital, Chu Bufan decided to publicize the results of the battle. This was the first time that the Kyushu Army had focused on the results since the all-out war began in 1937.

At ten o'clock in the morning on February 22, 1952, a press conference was held in the press hall of the Antong Protectorate in Yuanmingyuan, Beijing.

Chu Bufan personally went into battle to interact with reporters. At the meeting, he hyped up the Kyushu Army's"illustrious military exploits" in Western Europe, saying that the troops would eat every troop of Country M one by one like they destroyed the 15th Group Army of Country M, until M The country has no troops at all.

Obviously, his words gave a resounding slap to the Truman administration of Country M, which was preparing to negotiate an armistice. This war has no hope for Country M. On the contrary, it has caused more young men from Country M to die in a foreign country. It is like a bottomless pit that swallows the lives of people from Country M and will never be filled. The people of Country M will never be spared. Truman's, the situation in country M has become unstable again.

The sudden start of the counteroffensive in Western Europe shocked the world again. Millions of Kyushu troops and Japanese invaded Western Europe like a tide, causing irreparable and huge losses of personnel and materials to the Netherlands and other countries.

In the indiscriminate killings that lasted for half a year, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and other countries turned into hells on earth. All valuables and usable materials were stolen or destroyed. Some historical buildings were also blown up, and museums were destroyed. Evacuated or burned, all of this has taught people in the Western world what it means to be in chaos.

(Wang Yu: I’m not here to help them, I’m here to grab territory

PS：)

Once upon a time, colonists in the Western world brought guns and cannons to plunder the resources of other countries and kill their people under the guise of spreading civilization and the gospel of God. Hundreds of years later, the descendants of these Western colonists are repaying this cause and effect for their ancestors. Gaul is the best example.

The reason why Country M wanted to negotiate an armistice was that all the Kyushu Army had withdrawn to Eastern Europe and MacArthur had also won victory in Chaosian in Asia. The Truman administration attempted to negotiate with Wang Yu under this situation.

There are two plans that the Truman administration is preparing to negotiate. One is to hold the entire Western Europe region and the territory that country M has already occupied in Asia.

The second is to only keep Western Europe and give up Asia. This means that Taiwan must also be given up.

If the second option is adopted, Country M will lose all its interests in Asia for a long time to come, and it will also lose the hearts and minds of pro-M countries and regions in Asia.

The war has continued to this stage, and the Western world has begun to show signs of fatigue. Western Europe has been repeatedly baptized by war, and reconstruction is far away. Tens of millions of people in Gaul have been slaughtered, and mountains of rotten corpses are everywhere. Gaul It was also"lucky" to become the first Western European country to perish.
