Chapter 0399: Platoon Leader Zheng Online (End of the Next)
After two rounds of artillery bombardment knocked out a 150-caliber cannon, the German army, who witnessed the disintegration of the 5-and-a-half-ton cannon in the air, realized that there were "eyes" around them, and in the German roar, countless German troops were divided into more than ten teams and searched around.
[Although it has reached the end of the war, the quality of the German army at this time is still not weak......]
Zheng Yingqi sighed in his heart at the same time, the submachine gun in his hand was loaded, and after hearing the sound of loading, Maraki and Christensen, who were three meters apart, entered the battle state one after another - although they had to face so many enemies who were panicked, but when they thought of a big guy surnamed Jacob next to them, the two firmly believed that the big guy could take them back.
Another round of shelling approached the second locked cannon like a tightened golden hoop in the guidance, but a group of more than a dozen German troops approached less than 50 meters from Kerr at this time, and if they were closer, these German soldiers could hear Kerr constantly reporting the point of correction of the shells.
Bang bang bang
The submachine gun in Zheng Yingqi's hand roared, several German soldiers fell to the ground in the gunshot, and the remaining German soldiers immediately scattered and lay down, and randomly pulled the trigger at the position where the gun flame flickered.
"There it is!"
"Crush it!"
"Cover! Cover! β
In the noisy German roar, the rest of the searching Germans pounced like sharks smelling blood, and after a few minutes, the three people who deliberately exposed their positions to attract firepower felt the overwhelming pressure, and the German firepower pressed Malachi and Christensen couldn't raise their heads, even Zheng Yingqi had to fire a few shots and change places - if he didn't move, within two seconds after the gun flame flashed, he could attract dozens of retaliatory bullets, and only a tank could ignore this crackling bullet.
Maraqi, who was beaten and couldn't raise his head, looked left and right, saw several German troops outflanking the road, and immediately shouted: "Jacob, they want to outflank us!" β
"Retreat! Interactive Cover! Zheng Yingqi roared.
After getting Zheng Yingqi's permission, Malachi and Christensen immediately pounced back, ran to a small protrusion more than ten meters away, and set up guns to cover Zheng Yingqi's retreat.
On the other side, Guarnaro looked at Kerr with an anxious face, urging and shouting: "Almost, almost, Jacob, they are about to be surrounded by the Germans!" We've got to get out! β
"Wait! Wait! Kerr replied in a hurry, and then suppressed his voice to correct where the shells landed.
Rumble!
Rumble!
In the explosions again and again, the fourth cannon was finally hit by the justice of heaven, and in the explosion, it turned into a mess of parts, and the twisted half-barrel even smashed more than 30 meters away.
"The artillery of an artillery battery is gone! Kerr, it's time for us to withdraw! Guarner felt that it was almost enough, and yelled at Kerr again, but Kerr ran to the left with the walkie-talkie on his back and quickly ran to the left.
At first, Guarnaro thought that this guy had finally decided to withdraw, but the next second he realized that he was wrong.
[What is this withdrawal, it's clear that this guy is not addicted and changes his position to continue to report! ] γ
Guarnay wanted to turn around and run, but looking at the battle group in the distance that was deliberately drawing the enemy past, he gritted his teeth and kept cursing in his mouth as he kept keeping up with Kerr's pace.
[I must be crazy!] I must be crazy! Otherwise, how could I go crazy with this bastard Kerr! γ
After losing three more cannons, the Germans realized that they had not found their real eyes, but were being walked like monkeys, and several communications soldiers quickly rushed into the battlefield, intercepted five or six besieging squads, and began to continue to search for hidden "eyes" in the huge battlefield.
And at this time, the fifth cannon finally exploded!
Kerr had never been so agitated - he had served as an artillery observer many times, but he had never "commanded" the cannon to take out one of his peers after another, and after taking out the fifth, he immediately called the point and aimed at the sixth.
Remove?
That's impossible, he couldn't have retreated without smashing the Germans' artillery!
On Zheng Yingqi's side, the situation is finally getting worse.
Malachi was bitten by a bullet in the calf during the interactive retreat, rolled seven or eight meters, and was dragged behind the trees by Christensen in the midst of a rain of bullets, Christensen looked at Malaqi's wound and shouted:
"Malachi was shot in the left calf! He can't run! β
Zheng Yingqi replied: "You take him to withdraw!" Send a flare and let Guarnaro protect Kerr and evacuate, and I'll cover you! β
Christensen waited for Zheng Yingqi's words, he quickly took out the signal flare, accompanied by the sound of "boom", a green signal flare soared into the air, and then picked up the gritted teeth and ran away.
Zheng Yingqi, who was busy, turned his head to look back, and after seeing Christensen's back shadow, he couldn't help muttering:
Grass, running faster than a rabbit!
Since the start of D-Day, Zheng Yingqi has broken off too many times to count, but he really hasn't seen these guys and himself have a wave of "dog blood" plot of "you go, I don't go, I have to go together", and they slip faster than rabbits every time.
Without covering his comrades, Zheng Yingqi did not dare to let the enemy chase him under his nose, so he could only keep a distance of more than 60 meters from the Germans as much as possible - at night, this distance was relatively safe, provided that luck did not fade against the sky.
Zheng Yingqi stuck the distance between him and the Germans, fighting while retreating, and Guanairo on the other side, after seeing the signal flare in the air, finally had confidence.
"Jacob, they're evacuated! We must withdraw immediately! β
Kerr was very unwilling, but at this time he didn't dare to be willful, without cover, as far as he and Guarneruo were found out by the annoyed and angry Germans, it is estimated that people would not even give them a chance to raise their hands.
"Withdraw!"
Kerr gritted his teeth and finished reporting the point, and ran to the other side with Guanaer, but the luck of the two was indescribable, and before they broke away from the German artillery position, they ran headlong into about a platoon of Germans, as if they had been abandoned by Lady Luck.
This was the German unit that had rushed to support from nearby, and after hitting it in the dark, the opposing spearhead immediately shouted in German:
"We are 24 companies of the 4 grenadier regiment, how many Americans sneak attacked?"
The other party treats them as their own people - but Guarnero's German level is notoriously low, staying at the level of "surrender the gun", "raise your hand to surrender", "don't shoot, I surrender", more complex German, only some German quintessence he understands, something else?
Mao can't even say it!
And Kerr has only been on the front line for two months, and as an artilleryman, he does not know German.
When the two heard the German question, they looked at each other, and finally Guarnaro simply screamed, "Die, bastard!" β
Bang bang
He pulled the trigger again and again, knocked down two sharp soldiers dozens of meters away, and then pulled Kerr and ran.
The German grenadiers who came to the aid (ahem, changed their name to a lofty name, and the essence is still infantry) did not expect to encounter the American troops halfway, and immediately chased after them under the loud command of the officer.
The two of them were greeted by the sound of gunfire, and Kerr finally realized the taste of the bullet chasing the person, and his heart was full of indignation at not blowing up a few more cannons, but after the bullet whizzed past him, he had only one thought:
I'm Nima, run!
The two continued the bad luck of being unlucky to go home before, Kerr was hit in the shoulder by a bullet, if it weren't for the radio on his back, it is estimated that he would have to stand up on the spot, and Kerr after being shot does not have the protagonist's undead physique, and he can't run.
[I'm dead! I'm dead! γ
Kerr despaired.
But he didn't expect that Guanaira, who was running in front, suddenly turned back and cursed with a hideous face: "You groundhog-like bastard!" You're a cousin! "Lingdu e-book
Despite cursing angrily, Guarnaro did not hesitate to pick up Kerr and rush towards the woods not far away.
In the woods.
rumble
rumble
Two explosions in quick succession reached Zheng Yingqi's ears, and he could even feel the shock wave from the explosion caressing his body after the energy dissipated.
"My legs ...... My leg...... Help me...... My legs ......"
"I'm hurt! Military! Military! Help! β
"Ah...... Mom...... Mom...... I hurt ......."
The screams rang out one after another before the shock wave had completely dissipated, and the screams also stopped the pace of the German pursuit - the German soldiers who came from behind looked at the battlefield that had been ravaged by two MKII defensive grenades, and could no longer raise the desire to pursue, and buried their heads in rescuing their own people.
The corners of Zheng Yingqi's mouth rose, revealing a sneer, you want to chase me in the woods, try it?
Although the power of the defensive grenades in the forest was discounted, the explosion area formed by the two grenades was still "cut down" by the pursuing Germans, and it also cut off the minds of these Germans to pursue.
As expected.
[You also taste the fear of those Dutch peers being dominated by treacherous thunder!] γ
Zheng Yingqi muttered, turned around and walked into the darkness, although these Germans didn't dare to chase after them, but this place must not stay for a long time.
[I don't know if the two of them and Guara have withdrawn from Malaqi, and they have ......]
After getting rid of the pursuers, Zheng Yingqi thought in his heart, there is still more than an hour before dawn, as long as he gets rid of the pursuers behind, he should be able to be safe...... Withdraw it, right?
Probably because of the chanting several times, Zheng Yingqi was walking through the woods, and noticed something strange not far away, so he stopped and tiptoed to the right rear - if it weren't for the fact that Guara could be seen panting in the dark to unload the radio on his back, Zheng Yingqi would have greeted him with a bullet.
"Guarnaro? Kerr? β
Guarnaira, who was bandaging Kerr, heard Zheng Yingqi's voice as if he had heard God's voice during prayer in church.
"Jacob!"
Zheng Yingqi came out from behind the tree where he was hiding and walked over vigilantly.
When he saw the familiar man, Guarnay's nose was sore, and tears almost came out, and he said, "God, you are here - if you don't come, I don't know how to carry this fat pig back!" β
Kerr:......
Zheng Yingqi ignored Gua Naruo's complaint and asked in a low voice, "Is the injury serious?" β
"It was blocked by the radio, and the bullet remained in the body."
As soon as Guara finished speaking, he heard the footsteps of the search not far away, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "I didn't get rid of them." β
Zheng Yingqi nodded to show that he understood, and said in a low voice: "Bandage, prepare to withdraw." Gua Naruo was scribbled with an urgent bandage, and Zheng Yingqi leaned down and began to lay a trick mine with the help of the radio that was thrown on the groundβthe Germans were seriously lacking all kinds of education in trick mines, and Zheng Yingqi was making up for them for free.
After Guarnaro scribbled to the end, he picked up Kerr who was biting a roll of gauze, and rushed through the forest under the leadership of Zheng Yingqi, about twenty seconds later, an explosion came, and in the screams of the Germans, Guarnero who was carrying a person ran faster.
No, no, he had seen in Holland how the Germans who had been deceitful and hysterical took revenge, and Guarnaro couldn't help but shudder at the thought of that scene.
β¦β¦
E Company Position.
The paratroopers of the 1st Platoon were all looking across the black hole from their respective foxholes or trenches, waiting for the familiar figures to emerge from the darkness.
The atmosphere in the position was strange - from time to time, the paratroopers of the first platoon would look at the position of the second platoon not far away, where their old company commander Winters was located.
"Why did you say Captain Winters is here?" Hubre played with the Ruger pistol in his hand and asked his comrades in a strange tone.
"Hope is good news." The comrade-in-arms said in a deep voice.
"He's from the division, and he's leading us, and I don't think our dear Dick will bring any good news." Someone interjected.
The "he" here is talking about Lieutenant Dyke, the new company commander who served in E Company for less than two months - when Dyke first took office, the whole E Company was actually quite satisfied, after all, it was not the fucked thing, after all, Dyke still knew what the officer should do, and he didn't hide in the house and sleep lazy.
But......
During his time in Bastogne, Company E was completely disappointed in!
They endured daily shelling from the Germans, and the whole army was on the verge of collapse, but what about their company commanders?
I can't see anyone all day long! Hiding in a wooden house a few hundred meters away from the front line, as soon as he heard the sound of artillery, he got out of the wooden house, got into a specially dug anti-artillery hole, and threw his men in front to be bombed!!
At a time when all the people of Company E needed their commander the most, their commander hid in the safest place - I, Nima, why didn't you run to the division headquarters in Bastogne? The anti-artillery fortifications there are stronger!
Now, their old company commander, Captain Winters, is here, and their new company commander, Dekker, is with him......
It's really hehe.
"I don't know, Dick is here, and it should bring good news." Hubler said uncertainly.
"Hopefully." The comrade-in-arms said with a complicated expression.
I really want to shout a slogan like "If doesn't leave, E Company will die", but E Company has a criminal record, and if you dare to do this at this time, you will be killed.
"I really don't understand, why Jacob doesn't like to be an officer, if he becomes the commander of E Company, it would be great......"
Someone sighed and said a word, and suddenly, the atmosphere in the position became even stranger.
If Jacob were a company commander......
Tut, tsk.
"Jacob is back!"
β¦β¦
January 4th was the most memorable day for E Company since it entered Bastogne.
Jacob, the platoon leader of the 1st platoon, ventured deep behind enemy lines and led the artillery to blow up six German cannons, avenging the blood of E Company, which had been bombed for several days.
The old company commander, Winters, temporarily stayed in Company E to "assist" Dekker in command.
The chemistry that linked this good news was that Company E, which was on the verge of collapse, "was back to normal" on the same day. β
