For Zheng Yingqi, this is a very normal infiltration task - maybe earn a few more ratings from the system uncle?

But for Christensen, Guarnaro and Malachi, it was a terrible and even disappointing bullshit mission to get out of the way.

"Is it because it's to die?" Artillery observer Kerr inquired curiously.

Malaki said hatefully: "Our commander is sending us off in an invisible place—see us go to our death!" ”

Zheng Yingqi turned his head, his eyes were cold, Maraki obediently closed his mouth, Christensen and Guarnaro also swallowed the words on their lips, only Kerr doubted and regretted - it seems that he should not sign up to follow this negative team.

How can they do that? We are looking for artillery positions! We went to the artillery positions and avenge the tortured brothers for the sake of the conservative, they ...... How can you be so negative? 】

Kerr thought, full of regret, he knew this, why did he take the initiative to sign up.

He couldn't help but be full of worries about the future of this trip.

Zheng Yingqi easily felt Kerr's mentality - artillery observer Kerr, who entered the artillery unit two months ago and served as an artillery observer on the front line many times, braving the rain of bullets and artillery to provide shooting Zhu Yuan for the 155 guns behind, it is obvious that this is a simple and heroic soldier.

During the break, Zheng Yingqi patted Kerr on the shoulder and whispered, "Follow them well, they are the best fighters in the whole of Bastogne - believe me, you will never find a better fighter than them." ”

Outstanding?

Kerr believes this, but being excellent does not mean that he can be trusted, Kerr did not answer Zheng Yingqi, but thought in his heart: they may be very good, but they must be very selfish, greedy for life and afraid of death.

……

The small detachment in the night was constantly searching and advancing, and it was not ignorant of the German artillery positions on the front line, coupled with the advantage of the air force, before Zheng Yingqi set off, he learned two place names from Nixon's mouth - there were German artillery positions in both places, but it was impossible for the artillery without eyes to achieve accurate shelling, even if the air force equipped with bomb sights could not do this.

Although the manufacturer's advertising advertises that their sight can assist the Air Force in bombing a target the size of a water tank, the actual combat effect can only be hehe.

Therefore, it is the most reliable to report the point by infiltrating the detachment!

The attacks in the past few days have made the German army subconsciously relax their vigilance - as long as they are thieves for a thousand days, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, on the front line where there are so many battles, whether it is the US army or the German army, it is impossible to be full of vigilance in white and black, plus Zheng Yingqi is very good at infiltrating, and the team quickly passed through the front line of the confrontation between the two sides and groped towards the first target.

At this time, Kerr also really saw the excellence of E Company, the team of five people dragged out a distance of more than ten meters in the dark, but they were like one, as long as Zheng Yingqi at the head made a gesture, the people behind could respond accordingly according to the meaning of the gesture, that tacit understanding, clear feeling, so that Kerr was extremely surprised - he had never seen such a tacit understanding and such an arm in other troops.

[They are really a group of amazing elites, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that they have a bad mentality. 】

Kerr couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The infiltration went well, and at half past three in the morning they reached the periphery of the No. 1 artillery position.

"According to intelligence, there should be a 150mm artillery battalion here," Zheng Yingqi said while looking at the map in the small space propped up by Christensen in a raincoat, "but we only know the approximate location of this artillery battalion, the other party is camouflaged, we can only look carefully in the dark, if we can't find it before dawn, we need to retreat." ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult," said Malaki hesitantly, "we also need to be careful that the German guard units will not be too efficient." ”

"Let's see what God means - however, I think our luck is not bad, and we should be rewarded, okay, let's go in from here first, pay attention to the geography on both sides, and after finding a geographical environment suitable for artillery concealment, we will increase the search intensity."

"Hmm."

On the day of the Normandy landings, a German artillery battery was hidden in a French estate called Brecourt, when there was a platoon of about 50 guarded infantrymen on the opposing side, and Winters and 11 men not only defeated them, but also blew up the four 105mm cannons of the artillery company.

At that time, E Company could not call for artillery support, so it could only solve the battle by storming, but this time Zheng Yingqi and they brought artillery observers and were able to call for artillery support from an artillery battalion - relatively speaking, this time the task was easier.

But......

It's definitely not very safe.

After the team fumbled for more than an hour, the sign was turned over by Lady Luck.

At the edge of a wood, Zheng Yingqi saw a cannon hidden in a semi-underground fortification.

"We're lucky, Malachi, you and Kerr go to the left to reconnoitre, count the number of German artillery on the left, Christensen, you and Guarnaro go to the right to reconnoitre." Zheng Yingqi ordered, the four of them divided into two groups and began to reconnoiter around the German artillery positions, and after half an hour, they turned back from both sides and reported to each other the number of German artillery detected.

A total of 15 howitzers of 150 caliber, judging by the tents scattered around, there was about a company of infantry guarding the perimeter.

A 150 artillery battalion of the German army is fully staffed, with 18 150 caliber cannons, but at this time, a unit like the artillery battalion can have sixty percent of the full quota, and this artillery battalion can be equipped with 18 cannons, which is very likely to be the reason for the reinforcement - the Germans have almost turned out their family for this wave of attacks.

"Kerr, contact the artillerymen and provide them with shooting dollars, Guarnaro, you protect Kerr here, and the others come with me." Zheng Yingqi ordered - the Germans are not fools, if a few shells can hit here occasionally, it may be lucky, but if the American artillery fires this side vigorously and keeps hitting one cannon after another, the fool knows that he must have eyes.

Zheng Yingqi took the other two to other places, and he had to make sure that Kerr had enough time to report the point - the straight-line distance between here and his artillery position was more than 7 kilometers, and even if there was a Kerr report, his own artillery would not be able to kill a cannon with a few shells, so he had to buy Kerr enough time.

About five minutes later, with the scream of the falling shells, the first test-fired shell exploded more than 80 meters away from a gun position, and the explosion of the shells also alarmed the resting German troops around, and countless German soldiers came out of the tents in embarrassment, and the chaotic German sound resounded around.

In the confusion, several shells fell almost at the same time, exploding around the target gun position, but did not hit the target, and the 150mm cannon in the semi-underground gun position was still undamaged.

Zheng Yingqi looked at the results of the battle, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "If only I could launch missiles...... Do a good job of guiding, one missile solves the problem ......"

Fortunately, the second round of shelling came in a blink of an eye, a cannonball hit the target, and the 5-and-a-half-ton cannon flew directly into the sky, and countless parts floated up in the sky like leaves, and then spread out with terrifying potential energy.

What a wonderful picture!
