Chapter 1014 Confiscation (4)
"The German planes are coming! Everyone hide!"
The tallest building in the town is a clock tower. The townspeople standing on the top of the clock tower and alerting the surrounding sky saw the fleet of planes flying in the distance, and rang the bell of the clock tower to sound a warning. The townspeople who were digging trenches hid in the town again.
But the American soldiers did not move. The lieutenant with the highest rank among them cursed softly. "Damn, it seems to be an attack plane! I'm afraid it's here to bomb the town, so we can't enter the town again!" The German helicopter formation must have reported the situation of digging trenches here to the rear. The Germans could tell with their toes that the residents of the town did not intend to surrender their weapons, but to resist to the end. As a result, the ground troops did not see it, but saw the German attack planes first.
Before, they were reinforcements supporting the front line. Unfortunately, they were attacked by the German air strikes halfway, and the team suffered heavy casualties. They finally escaped the German bombing, and now seeing these terrible fleets, the lieutenant felt his calves trembling.
As for the town, there is not even a decent air-raid shelter, only ordinary cellars and basements. If you hide in it, a bomb will bury the people hiding inside alive, and even the funeral expenses will be saved.
The soldiers next to him asked anxiously. "Deputy company commander, what should we do now?!" The lieutenant was afraid, and they were afraid too. He had a narrow escape last time, but if he was targeted by German attack planes again this time, who knows if he will have the same luck as last time to escape.
"..." The lieutenant swallowed nervously, forced himself to calm down, looked around, and saw a small hill two kilometers to the left front. "Everyone, where to hide, it should be safe. Don't take anything with you, run as fast as you can."
A soldier said anxiously. "Deputy Captain, what about the residents in the town?!" After they fled here, the residents of the town took them in and treated them to good food and drink. Now at this critical moment of life and death, they can't just leave these residents and run away. "We have to let them run with us?!"
"Don't worry about them, the stubborn old mayor won't listen to us!" After saying this, the lieutenant ran forward first.
Yesterday, the German helicopter formation broadcast a notice over the town. They persuaded the mayor not to go against the Germans, which was a dead end. According to the Germans' requirements, all the weapons and ammunition in the town should be handed over, and the lives of the residents in the town should be saved. But the stubborn mayor not only didn't listen, but also called them cowards, cowards, and cowards; which made them very angry, and really took their kindness for granted.
The old man also talked about how they bravely fought against the Germans in the last war, and the lieutenant was speechless. Now that they have fought on the mainland, what's the point of mentioning the achievements in the last war? !
"Even if we tell them, they might scold us again." Another soldier added, and followed the lieutenant to run towards the hill. Seeing the rest of the soldiers running away, the soldier hesitated for a while, and finally dropped the shovel in his hand and ran over.
In this way, a group of people ran forward desperately, and when they ran to the hill panting, the fleet in the sky had already flown over the town.
"It's the German flying tank!" They didn't know the official name of this attack aircraft, but they knew that these aircraft had very strong protection capabilities, and it was simply difficult to shoot down one.
In addition to the 32 Il-10 attack aircraft in two squadrons, there was also a squadron of A-1 attack aircraft.
"Oh my God, the Germans want to completely destroy this town." The entire town has only about 1,500 households. The Germans sent so many planes over, and how many bombs must they drop. Unfortunately, at this time, they didn't even have a gun in their hands and could do nothing. Of course, let alone having a gun, even if there was an anti-aircraft gun, it might not be able to shoot down the German planes in the sky. Instead, it would attract the attention of the other side. If a bomb was dropped, they would be wiped out.
They could only lie on the top of the hill and watch the German aircraft flying over the town.
"Let's bomb the outskirts of the town first and surround the town with fire." After the two attack aircraft groups discussed, the A1 attack aircraft with a larger bomb load began to drop bombs along the outskirts of the town. The dense bombs were dropped, and a large fire was set on the outskirts of the town.
Seeing this, the lieutenant lying on the hill slammed the ground. "Damn it, the Germans are trying to trap the residents of the town to death and prevent them from escaping." If the town caught fire first, the residents of the town would definitely flee outside the town; but now the Germans surrounded the entire town with fire, and the residents of the town could not escape even if they wanted to, and could only be trapped to death in the town. "Mayor, mayor! I told you that these Germans are extremely vicious and cold-blooded, but you just wouldn't listen! You are so stubborn that you killed all the residents in the town!!"
When the fierce fire surrounded the entire town, the remaining attack planes began to drop bombs into the town.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, napalm bombs fell to the ground, some exploded in mid-air, forming a series of "flame waterfalls", and some hit the ground, rising into huge balls of fire. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. In the blink of an eye, it was a sea of fire. As the bombs continued to fall, these blazing fires gradually connected together, and even a terrible fire tornado appeared, wantonly engulfing everything around it. Everything that could burn was burning, and the whole town was in a raging fire.
"Oh my God!" Looking at the blazing fire in the town, several American soldiers turned pale. If they had just hidden in the town, they would have become a pile of barbecue by now.
"These damn Germans are too inhumane! This is a naked massacre of civilians!!" A soldier waved his fist and roared at the returning German aircraft.
However, according to the European media, this is not a massacre of civilians. As long as there are still guns in their hands and they are unwilling to hand them over obediently, they are armed elements with ulterior motives and extremely dangerous. Eliminating such armed elements is a world away from the nature of massacring civilians. As for the rest of the elderly, weak, women and children, it is inevitable nepotism. If you want to blame, you have to blame the armed elements. If they handed over their guns obediently, nothing would happen.
Most of the people who have eaten all the food also agree with the statements of these media. Now you are asked to hand over your guns, not your life. You said you would rather die than hand over your weapons. What do you want to do? ! Isn't it that you want to resist to the end, of course you will be eliminated.
The result was that such a clearing operation did not cause much public opinion, and the European coalition forces cleared these stubborn areas in an orderly manner.
