The battle was exceptionally fierce, with every kind of weapon on both sides firing madly. Dense bullets swept toward the enemy like a raging storm. Every moment, people died in the fighting, losing their lives.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
An anti-aircraft machine gun was firing wildly at a German military utility helicopter. The anti-aircraft machine gun had remained concealed until then, and the German military had not expected there to be an anti-air fire position here.
Caught off guard, the utility helicopter was riddled with holes. Its crew members were killed on the spot, and the aircraft, deprived of control, plunged straight to the ground and smashed into a heap of scrap metal.
Although the German military's helicopter units had suffered considerable losses under the attacks of US Army air-defense weapons and rocket launchers, with helicopters constantly being shot down, their helicopters' powerful firepower had also inflicted grievous losses on the US Army troops on the positions. The Americans were even suppressed for a time.
And that gave the German military a favorable opportunity to cross the river.
The river was less than fifty meters wide, and it could quickly be crossed by rowing. Previously, the troops had suffered rather heavy casualties under the US Army's dense firepower. Now that the US Army's firepower had been suppressed, German military wooden boats charged one after another onto the sandy beach on the opposite bank.
German military soldiers jumped from the small wooden boats. Some were killed by machine-gun or rifle bullets flying straight at them. But more German military soldiers successfully threw themselves onto the beach and exchanged fire with the US Army using the automatic rifles and machine guns in their hands. For a time, bullets fell as densely over the beach as rain.
