Chapter 156: The Longest Day (Part I)
Lead clouds crushed the overcast sky, and a low, roaring engine roared like thunder above the clouds. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info It was the overwhelming Allied air power that was bombarding the German coastal defenses.
However, after reading the relevant information about the promise, I know that the Allied pilots were afraid of blowing up their own people because the clouds were too thick and low, so they extended the scheduled bombing time back by 30 seconds. Then all these bombs fell several kilometers behind the German coastal defenses. There was no impact at all on the front-line positions.
The waves in the strait were turbulent, and the salty-smelling sea water slapped against the landing craft in waves. The waves flew by, and the white foamy water poured down like a heavy rain, drenching the whole boatload of people.
The combination of the gloomy sky and the icy waters, coupled with the constant vomiting, and the foul smell of the sea breeze instantly made people feel bad. The atmosphere inside the landing craft was oppressive, and basically no one spoke.
The landing craft where the promise was loaded with a whole squad of infantry, and a sergeant stood in the bow of the ship and handed out seasickness medicine to the people on the landing craft: "Everyone, listen!" Our goal was to open the doors of Omaha Beach in the Green D area, and the goal was to capture the battery and machine-gun fire points on the German lines! Gather your weapons and we'll see you at the beach! ”
There was a terrible whistling sound in the sky, and it was the defenders' artillery firing fiercely with ferocious artillery fire. Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns. But in reality, both artillery and machine guns are deadly things. Not to mention touching it, even a rub is enough to kill you.
Half of his body was already soaked by the sea, and he leaned against the bulkhead of the landing craft, bowing his head slightly, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
The landing craft on which Promise was located was small in tonnage, and it was like a toy in the waves. Although he promised not to get seasick and vomit, he was worried that if he was directly hit by a cannonball, he would waste a precious opportunity even if he had a talisman. What can save lives at critical moments is the real artifact.
Moreover, this is an extremely cruel battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that human life is like a mustard. The promised amulet can only be used twice, but what if he gets hit three times? Is it really going to die here?
Half an hour ago, he promised that he was here for a vacation, and that the world of this mission was too simple and easy. But by this time he had already begun to curse the ring in his heart. Far from being easy, it's full of dangers. Even if he is really strong, it is impossible for him to single-handedly take on an entire army!
Not to mention the modern army of machine guns, artillery, planes, and tanks, even if it is an army in the era of cold weapons, if there are enough people, surround it, and promise to kill can exhaust him.
Raising his hand, he put down the steel helmet on his head, and promised to sweep his gaze over the narrow landing craft. He could see that most of the Allied soldiers around him were nervous, and most of them were pale and trembling. This is war, after all, and it only takes a bullet to destroy a life, and no one can be sure that they will return home alive.
"Huh~~~" Xu Yu took out the military kettle from behind his waist and poured a large mouthful of water, slowly closed his eyes and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
is in danger, the six gods have no master, and the end of mental flustery is to get a lunch box in advance and leave. At this moment, since there is no other choice, the promise can only be to go all out.
As the distance continued to advance, the density and firepower of the German artillery became more and more intensive. From 105 to 88 guns were firing furiously at hundreds of landing craft. Huge columns of water are constantly rising on the surface of the sea, and it is almost like a boiling pot. From a distance, the landing craft looked like it was constantly moving through a forest of water columns.
The dense column of water set off by the explosion of the shells poured a large amount of seawater on the many landing craft, and the soldiers seemed to be moving through the pouring rain.
Although the water rising from the sky is white, it poses no less threat than the Dark Forest.
"Boom!" After all, there are still unlucky eggs who will be accurately hit by shells. A landing craft less than 100 meters to the left of the promise was accurately hit by an artillery shell of unknown caliber. With the small tonnage of the landing craft and its completely devoid of protection capabilities, the result of a direct hit by an artillery shell is to be blown up immediately.
As for the people on the ship, unless there is an immortal who comes down to rescue them, they will basically be unable to escape the fate of death.
"Thirty seconds ready!" The driver's roar resounded throughout the landing craft, and everyone's expressions instantly became nervous. Some were so nervous that they vomited, some began to draw crosses and pray, some swallowed hard, and some looked nervous and trembled slightly.
The other ships didn't know, at least the ship where the promise was was not in sight of a guy with an excited face ready to go to war. Here are all veterans, and they have all seen the cruelty and bloodshed of the battlefield. may have been bloody, but after they have fought on the battlefield, no one can regard war as child's play. It's a gamble that costs lives. Wide.
On the battlefield, all beings are equal.
The non-commissioned officer standing at the hatch began to quickly turn the valve and was about to lower the hatch, but Promise suddenly opened his eyes at this time!
Although he is not very old, he has experienced many terrifying crises between life and death before. After suffering again and again, the promise at this time has a keen intuition that only a veteran of a hundred battles who has survived the battlefield can have. As the hatch gradually opens, Promise keenly smells danger!
Without hesitation, while the hatch was slowly lowered, Xu Promise, who was in the back row, took a deep breath, suddenly stretched out his left hand and put it on the edge of the bulkhead of the landing craft, and rolled over from the edge of the bulkhead with both legs and fell into the sea water outside the landing craft.
At the same time as the promise turned over and left like lightning, the front hatch of the landing craft was finally opened. But before the soldiers could react, a deadly hail of bullets flew into the landing craft through the open hatch with a piercing whistling sound.
The hapless landing craft aimed its hatch directly at the muzzle of a pillbox fire point on the coast.
Crowded inside the cramped landing craft, the more than a dozen soldiers had no possibility of dodging at all. In a short period of time, he was put down in a pool of blood by a series of bullets.
Military uniforms, firearms, backpacks, steel helmets are all useless. The human body is so fragile in the face of bullets fired by military firearms. Not to mention that there is no, even if there is a real body armor, it will not be able to resist the bullets fired by military machine guns.
The hatch of the landing craft was facing the fortified fortresses of the defenders, and among those fortresses were Hitler's chainsaws. These terrifying killing machines do not hesitate to attack all enemies that come their way. With the ultra-high rate of fire of Hitler's chainsaw, as long as it is targeted and covered, there is almost no chance of escaping.
Promise, who fell into the sea, held his breath and began to paddle towards the shore. The benefits of liking to swim in the pool on weekdays are reflected, and at this time at least promise to be able to swim.
However, this is a rough sea, not a swimming pool with a constant water temperature and no smell. And Xu Yu was not wearing swimming trunks at this time, his body was full of all kinds of military equipment, and he was also wearing a thick military uniform. In this case, it is almost fatal in the middle of the sea.
Fortunately, Promise's head was very cool, and after realizing that something was wrong, he hurriedly took out a military dagger in the water and cut off all the straps of many equipment. After the burden was abandoned, the much lighter promise was finally able to leave the water, which had begun to turn red and smelled of blood.
The promise that peeked out of the sea was now nothing, and everything except his military uniform was thrown into the sea, even his gun and steel helmet. Fortunately, at this moment, Promise is in the midst of a brutal battlefield, full of dead and wounded and the guns they left behind.
Xu Promise struggled to climb out of the sea to the back of an anti-tank triangular cone, casually took a steel helmet from the dead soldier on the side and put it on, and then began to calmly observe the battlefield through the steel triangular cone.
At this time, at least hundreds of Allied troops had washed up on the beachhead. But it was low tide, and the defenders had laid out numerous anti-tank triangular cones on the coast. The Allied landing craft could not directly send the officers and men directly under the coastal defense levee, so they had to lower them in front of the anti-tank triangular cone.
Between the place where the landing craft were released and the defenders was a large stretch of soft and empty sand. There is no shelter other than a few steel triangular pyramids. Numerous soldiers were directly exposed to the ferocious fire of mobile phones, and suffered heavy casualties.
There was nothing he could do about the battle situation at this moment, even if he saw the defenders' bunkers now, he could teleport directly into them, and he was powerless to change the entire battle situation. The defenders were not just a bunker, but a series of dense defensive positions. In this case, the ghost promised to go in alone to know if he could get out alive.
Promise now that you can only use teleport twice for a short period of time, after which you will have to rest for a long time to recover. In this case, he naturally wants to use his ability at the most critical moment.
Promises are more concerned with their own tasks than in combat. Although he knew what the world was set in, he also knew that Ryan was roughly in the vicinity of a small town. But this is France, it's Normandy. Promise didn't even know where that town was. There is no navigation in this world for him.
Moreover, Xu Promise is also worried that if he runs to Ryan alone, let alone the things on the road, even if he finds Ryan's family, he can come back with him? And if things change unexpectedly, he might not find anyone at all.
Therefore, he promised to go with Captain Miller in order to complete the mission. In this way, you can legitimately go to someone and not be considered a deserter. At the same time, the risks of doing so are far less than going it alone. After all, if you are not familiar with life, you can't even figure out the direction of the promise. (To be continued.) )
