Battle of Troina

The Sixth Battle of Troina was the final battle to try to take the town of Troina, as seen in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.

American advance
Before the first shots were exchanged, the 1st Infantry Division was advancing toward the town through unheld fields, with Fox Company on point.

The soldiers on the left flank were charging in on foot, while the soldiers on the right flank went in casually via Sherman. Before even getting through the front gate, some of the boys of Fox Company exchanged conversations. After the first Sherman get through the gate, it was destroyed by an anti-tank weapon from down the street.

Glenn Hawkins took over, and ordered everyone off the tanks, and to proceed with caution. He and his squad then continued down the road a few hundred feet to an intersection, which was heavy with Wehrmacht forces.

The Americans took them out, and took a right. About 50 feet down the road from there, they encountered another intersection, which had two MG42s stopping their advance. Hawkins ordered Denley and Bloomfield to lay down suppressing fire so Roger and Kelly could flank the emplacement and make it safe for Hawkins and the others to advance.

The two ran through the crossfire while the others gave them covering fire. They met up with three other Americans down the road, also trying to take out the MG42 emplacements. Shortly after reinforcing the three, they were all killed by the overwhelming amount of Germans in the courtyard behind the machine gun emplacement. Roger and Kelly fight their way into the building, and secure the first floor, then work their way up to the second floor, which was home go the MG emplacement.

After killing the gunner, the few riflemen across the street notice the Americans, and shoot at them. The two return fire, and kill the machine gun crew.
