Chapter 66: Bell Tower Sniping
The road to this half-collapsed bell tower is not easy to walk, and a large area of military barracks, warehouses and other buildings are scattered in this area, and after the shelling just now, they are now collectively called ruins!
The bell tower is actually not close to Chen Ming, about more than a thousand meters away, and it is closer to the control of the Warren Fortress.
At the corner of the two fortress walls, a bell tower was built so high for some unknown purpose that it was almost higher than the central fort.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Ming took a fancy to this place at a glance, even if it is not used for sniping, it is also an excellent location for observation.
However, this place did not have any members of their team, firstly because it was too far away from the battle center to effectively support the battle, and partly because it was too dangerous!
But Chen Ming doesn't care much about this, danger often coexists with opportunities, how can there be excellent gains without taking risks?
On the way to the bell tower, the ruins of various collapsed houses forced Chen Ming to make a detour constantly, calculating the time, he was a little anxious, according to the habit of general artillery suppression, he might be stopped halfway.
There are still more than ten meters away from the bell tower, and the structure of the bell tower can already be seen with the naked eye in the night.
The entire bell tower was unscathed in the first round of shelling, which is really a very surprising thing, Chen Ming can even see the attic with a large bronze bell hanging on the top of the bell tower.
The huge bronze bell swayed slightly in the night wind.
Seeing the direction of the gate of the bell tower, Chen Ming stepped up his pace, preparing to rush directly into the bell tower!
But the potholed ground and the road full of rubble and gravel really couldn't run fast, one was careless, he was mixed with something on the ground, and fell directly to the ground, at this time he was less than two meters away from the gate!
"Boom, boom..."
There was a muffled sound in the sky in the distance, as if there was thunder in the sky, Chen Ming's face changed, and the second round of artillery suppression had begun!
Regardless of the pain of his knees, Chen Ming got up and wanted to rush to the bell tower, that place was at least built on the outer wall of the fortress, and ordinary shells still couldn't blow up.
As soon as he got up, he heard an explosion overhead, and a cannonball that had been discharged earlier had hit the big bronze bell on the roof of the building impartially, not only blowing the attic away, but also blowing the bronze bell in half.
Half of them fell straight down from a height carrying the fragments of the blown up attic, and the landing point was where Chen Ming was standing.
Chen Ming only glanced up, and even his hair exploded in fright! The hairs all over the body are even more erect, and this half of the bronze bell must weigh hundreds of pounds, and if it hits a person, it is not enough to die, it is possible to shoot it directly into meat puree.
Without thinking too much, Chen Ming turned around and ran, and after only running four or five steps, Chen Ming felt that the ground behind him shook, and the whole person was shocked.
When I looked back, I saw that the half of the bronze bell had fallen to the ground, and it was stuck obliquely on the ground, like half of a cement pipe buckled on the ground.
It's just that this place is too coincidental, and half of the bronze bell and the bricks and rubble that fell down together just blocked the gate of the bell tower.
Listening to the screaming of the cannonballs in the sky getting louder and louder, Chen Ming knew that he couldn't stand here stupidly, and when the large cannonballs were suppressed, he would really die without a place to be buried.
Looking back again, Chen Ming's target this time was the small space held up by the bronze bell, and he looked around the entire open space, which should be the safest place!
As soon as he hid under the bronze bell, the overwhelming cannonballs rained down, directly blowing up what could have been called a ruin into a real garbage dump.
Countless explosions occurred all around him, and terrifying sound waves and shock waves blew up everything that could be moved on the ground, and the bronze bell jingled.
And Chen Ming nested in the space supported by half of the bronze bell, praying that nothing would be blown in and stone him to death.
The explosion lasted for a full 10 minutes in the open space inside the fortress full of ruins!
Maybe it was less than ten minutes, but Chen Ming couldn't remember it clearly, he could only turn his back to the opening, cover his ears, and open his mouth to suffer.
The dust kicked up and almost buried him entirely, and it wasn't until the explosion stopped for a moment that he could react.
Shaking off the floating soil on his body, he crawled out from the bottom of the bell again, Chen Ming was too lazy to study this terrain that had changed again, and looked back at the tall bell tower, except for the first shot, he had never suffered a single shot.
Although the door was blocked, it was not too difficult for Chen Ming to go up to the top of the bell tower.
In just two or three minutes, Chen Ming had already climbed to the top along the outer wall of the bell tower!
The roof of the building was blown up a little miserably by the first cannon, the big bronze bell was blown in half, half fell under the tower, and the other half was crooked on the edge of the roof, just blocking the eyes of peeping from the outside to the inside.
Chen Ming was very satisfied with this terrain, which could not only effectively protect himself, but also observe the enemy without interference.
Placing the TAC on the roof of the building, Chen Ming began to look out through a gap in the guardrail that had been blown open.
"Roy! Hear me? Roy? After just a few glances, Chen Ming noticed that something was wrong, a group of about 100 troops, wearing uniforms completely different from the German uniforms, were approaching the direction of the fortress.
"Yes! Have you arrived at your intended location? Roy's voice came from the communicator, followed by a rustling noise.
"Yes, I'm here! But now there's good news for you! Chen Ming adjusted the magnification of the sniper scope to the maximum, and quickly confirmed the identity of the comer.
"You're kidding! Lone Wanderer! I don't think there will be any good news in this damn place that has been ploughed by shells! Roy spoke with a thick wheezing voice, presumably the shelling had not been easy.
"Okay, okay! In fact, some old friends are about to look for you, and the time should be after the third round of shelling! This group of people was still far from the fortress, Chen Ming swept everyone's faces one by one, and suddenly found that an officer with a command knife at his waist was a little familiar.
"Old friends?" Chen Ming's words obviously made Roy stunned: "What kind of old friend will be here?" ”
"You'll know when you get to the sniper position, now hurry up and get in place, you're running out of time!" Seeing that a group of soldiers were already looking for cover nearby, Chen Ming estimated that they had been notified that the shelling was about to begin.
"Aha! It's really an old friend, you can meet them anywhere! Roy's shouts came over the communicator again, and the tone showed that he was now a little excited.
"Alright, find cover, and I'll try to snipe some of them when the shelling begins!" Chen Ming was afraid that Roy would be killed by the cannon if he was too excited, so he would be a little wronged.
"We're sniping some too, it's definitely going to be fun!" Roy replied.
—————
"Let the soldiers hide, there is still a minute of fire coverage!" Noda yelled at a soldier passing by, "Don't die for some stupid act!" This is not the place where you die! ”
"Hello!" The soldier who was being dragged nodded in agreement, and then went to give orders.
Noda was excited, and there was a round of fire coverage, and then it was these soldiers he brought with him to give the enemy a good look!
He brought all two tanks in the division, which could add a thick stack of chips to his operation.
Seeing that all the soldiers were lying down, Noda Tsuyoya walked to the foxhole that his men had just dug up next to him and lay down.
Capture this fortress, kill all the defenders inside, and the division and regiment will advance to rely on horses!
Looking at the cannonballs flying in an arc overhead, Noda was confident.
-————
Listening to the sonic boom whistle brought by the cannonballs across the sky, the third round of artillery fire covered, began.
Chen Ming prayed in his heart that he would not smash on the bell tower at a certain moment.
Skillfully put a bullet on top. Entering the chamber of the gun, Chen Ming did not target the commander, who looked familiar, but another person he felt was more threatening.
At the moment when the shell landed, Chen Ming pulled the trigger!
The sound of the explosion spread far away, and everyone buried their heads in the paratrooper pit that was not deep, and this guy who was targeted by Chen Ming was no exception, but the way he buried his head was different from that of others, and moreover, there was an extra hole in the top of his head that others could not see!
"Phew"
The second shot was fired!
The target this time was supposed to be a veteran, and although the dense explosions were all in the distance, he was one of the few people who still looked up and looked around. It's just that immediately the head he was holding was lowered, and along with his head was blood.
"Phew"
The third shot, this one was a hapless one, he somehow was not in his own foxhole, but lying on the ground, and the artillery cover began to cover him before he realized how dangerous his position was, and ran to the nearest foxhole.
The moment he entered the foxhole, he realized that something was wrong, the blood on the ground told him that he had to report the phenomenon to his commander, and then he was nailed to the ground by a bullet directly from the back, and the blood at the bottom of the pit was added to the blood.
Looking for the target again, but this time not in a hurry to shoot, he needs to choose someone who may be a real threat to the fortress to snipe.
Such a person is undoubtedly more valuable than an ordinary infantryman.
After sweeping around twice, Chen Ming found something strange, there were more than a dozen people in the position of the others who were obviously higher than the others, if there was anything to say, it was that these people were out of touch!
It's a strange phenomenon, and being disconnected from the team basically means death on the battlefield unless they have a good reason to do so.
Chen Ming quickly aimed at one of them, this person didn't look like a soldier at all, the whole person was lying in the foxhole, and his head was about to be buried in the ground.
"Phew"
Chen Ming shot, since he was so scared, then send you out, so that you don't have to endure the time covered by artillery fire!
The shells were still tilting, the explosions were still continuing, and Chen Ming's shooting did not stop.
Maybe it was really his luck, maybe it was the luck of this bell tower, not a single shell fell here from beginning to end.
While the explosion was lasting, Chen Ming fired 11 shots and killed 11 people.
He was satisfied with the result, so he decided to abandon the Nakagawa division and start taking care of the German troops.
