Chapter 45 The attack begins
Outside the woods, about 200 German troops are gathering. According to the intelligence obtained previously, there is a French task force occupying a hidden manor and may be engaged in Secret sabotage.
The battle on the front line has become fierce. The newly joined American and Canadian coalition forces are blocking the way of the two German armies. Paris is only 37 miles away from the front line. It seems that Hindenburg can almost I saw the turn of the war.
At this time, there must be no problems in the rear. Therefore, in order to eliminate this French Rangers with unknown purpose, the German command dispatched an entire infantry battalion. (Not fully edited)
"Second Lieutenant, how many people were there when you came into contact with the other party?" The commander major looked at Metzel, who was being used as a guide beside him.
"I don't know. There are about ten enemies I can contact, but I suspect there are more people hiding in other places." Metzer stood aside, a black eyepatch covering one side of his face. Eye.
"Well, even if there are twenty enemies on the opposite side, let the soldiers from the two platoons attack together and rush over to eliminate them!" The major gave the order casually.
Metzel was stunned for a moment and then said after careful consideration, "I have no intention of questioning your decision, but according to the regulations, attacking such a fortress building should first conduct fire reconnaissance..."
Not waiting for Metzel yet After finishing speaking, he was rudely interrupted, "Second Lieutenant, you are just my lover now. "Director, it is not your duty to participate in command! I have been in Verdun for three months. How to command soldiers in combat does not require a military academy graduate who has just graduated from the military academy to talk too much!"
Metzel remained silent! , bowed slightly and took a step back, but already had his own thoughts in mind.
"This idiot brought out the habit of tug-of-war in the muddy pond of Verdun. He only dispatched a quarter of his troops at a time to ensure the flexibility of the attack."
"This kind of fortress battle is either a small battle or a small battle. A group of elite sneaks in and succeeds with one blow, or a large force can use their numbers and firepower to overwhelm the defenders at once. Adding fuel to the battle is a taboo for military strategists."
However, Metzel did not try to persuade him again. Pick up a telescope and observe the conditions in the jungle.
"Okay, are you there? Let me see if you have the same number of tricks when fighting." The German second lieutenant subconsciously touched his blindfold and murmured.
The other side of the woods.
"Hurry up! Groot, put the heavy machine gun here!" He Chi was directing the big black soldiers in the villa to carry the M1914 heavy machine gun to a window on the first floor. The bright muzzle of the gun was pointed at the jungle behind the manor. .
"He, I'm not questioning your decision, but would it be better to place the heavy machine gun on the roof, so that no matter where the enemy attacks from, we can adjust the firing range in time." Lieutenant Jason said next to him .
He Chi knew what the French second lieutenant meant. Once the heavy machine gun is set up, it is difficult to move it at will. If you don't know the opponent's charge route, it is best to set it up in the center of a high place so that you can temporarily adjust the muzzle.
But today is different, because He Chi does know where the opponent is coming from. In the 3D projection of his right eye, the German army was divided into two groups, large and small. One group of about 30 people came from the front of the manor, and Another team of 20 people took a detour to the back of the manor.
"Is this to attract firepower from the front and then attack from the back door?" He Chi analyzed the 3D projection in his eyes.
It has to be said that although the German commander is a little arrogant, he is not a useless idiot. This kind of "front and rear attack" combat method may really have unexpected effects under normal circumstances.
Unfortunately, in He Chi's eyes, this tactic has lost any meaning.
"You stay here and guard the heavy machine gun. If someone appears in front of you, greet them. Don't be afraid of wasting bullets!" He Chi asked the big black man to guard the machine gun and gave him the simplest task.
"Take out all the grenade launchers, take them all out!" He Chi shouted and asked the soldiers to place a total of 12 grenade launchers at the front of the manor.
"Hey, what are you doing?" This time, even Kristen, who only had a little knowledge about weapons, could tell that something was wrong. There was no open space in front of the manor, and there were all tall trees with lush leaves. It is difficult to see the specific location of people in the jungle. Not suitable for hand-held grenades, which require precise throwing of projectile weapons. "Don't worry, I will explain it later. Remember each person has three grenades. Do not change the ammunition when firing. After firing one, pick up the other and shoot out all the ammunition as quickly as possible." He Chi swore to explain on the side, and then said, "I'll go take a look in the forest" and disappeared.
“I’m afraid that the Germans will have rushed in front of you by the time you explain.” The female reporter muttered in a low voice, but she still stretched out her hand to help carry the ammunition. Unknowingly, she had begun to feel dissatisfied with He Chi. Asking why blind trust.
The same situation also happened to several other soldiers. Even if they did not understand He Chi's intentions, they were willing to carry out his orders and arrangements.
In the words of Second Lieutenant Jason, "I don't have any better ideas anyway, so I might as well let him try. If it doesn't work, just wait until the Germans rush over and then try his best."
Experience After several incidents, He Chi was establishing his prestige in the hearts of this team.
In the distant woods, a bird suddenly flew into the sky.
The Germans are coming.
The reinforced platoon, led by a sergeant, advanced in a skirmishing search formation.
The leading soldiers at the front carefully pushed aside the weeds in front, trying to be as gentle as possible with their movements. Although it is difficult to completely conceal the sound of the actions of thirty people, the later the opponent notices the surprise, the better the effect will be. .
500 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, you will soon be able to see the exit of the jungle, and in the next second.
Click!
He seemed to have stepped on something.
Boom! ! !
Boom! ! ! ! boom! ! !
"What's wrong? What's wrong?!" the German major shouted loudly.
"It's a landmine. Only French anti-infantry mines can make this kind of sound. It seems that several mines exploded." Metzel said softly from the side, but soon he became confused. "Such a large jungle area. How did he do it in such a short time? Is the minefield confirmed to be on our route? "
Yes, it is a minefield, but it is not a minefield, but the four trigger anti-infantry mines that He Chi took. According to the German army's 3D view The direction of travel was thrown carelessly on the ground. (Due to time constraints, there was no earth buried.)
Three of the four mines exploded, at least five German soldiers were injured to varying degrees, and more importantly, the German army had completely exposed the target.
"The other party has discovered us and should withdraw!" Metzel suggested.
"No! Charge forward! Let the soldiers charge forward at once!" The major issued a completely different order.
It has to be said that German soldiers have good obedience and continue to execute the commander's orders even when they are suddenly attacked, and can even trot to launch a charge.
But just when they were about to rush out of the woods, a dozen small black dots flew over from the sky.
The first day of testing the water, the absorption was average. I listened to the editor and changed the title of the book to give it a try
