Chapter 40: The Battle of the Bridge
Seeing Chen Ming rushing straight up, Roy was stunned, and chased after him with a gun on his back, shouting loudly: "Don't be in such a hurry, right?" It's a bit dangerous at this time! ”
Chen Ming didn't reply, and shouted loudly: "Didn't you see the system's prompts and countdowns?" There are 5 minutes left, and the mission will fail without entering the bridge! ”
Roy was taken aback when he heard this, just now he was only concerned about dodging the rain of shells and bullets, and he didn't care about looking at the prompt at all, and then after Chen Mingyi's reminder, he noticed that there was a countdown of less than 5 and a half minutes on the upper left side of the screen.
"Keep up!" When Roy saw the countdown, he didn't have time to say anything, just beckoned the people who had already landed to follow, and rushed out after Chen Ming's footsteps.
The location of the bridge was indeed not far away, and the occupation of the bridge did not require much worry from Roy's team, and the German soldiers who landed in gliders had already rushed to the key points of the bridge.
That excellent level is more reflected in whether you are lucky and whether you can land safely.
So far, only three unlucky people have been directly hit with the mission in the air, and the rest have basically landed safely.
Roy's voice brought everyone who could hear it back to his senses, stopped suppressing the other firing points, and all followed Roy to the position of the bridge.
Chen Ming was the first to rush out, and he was also the first to reach the vicinity of the bridge, and the Belgian troops guarding the bridge seemed to be stunned, and the interception of the group was exceptionally small, and the occasional sporadic shooting was inaccurate.
When he was still more than ten meters away from the bridge, Chen Ming had already received a prompt from the system.
The system prompts: "You have reached the Feldwezelt Bridge, please fight for 20 minutes within the bridge area (within 20 meters) to achieve the goal of capturing the bridge."
When he saw the system prompt, Chen Ming immediately found a hidden object to hide his figure, because he found that the shots he had to face suddenly increased.
They were now in the same position as the actual bridgehead, and the Belgian defenders were holding back the German troops on the other side of the bridge.
With just a glance, Chen Ming saw at least 5 machine gun forts and bunkers piled up with sandbags, which successfully played their functional role.
Strings of bullets, trailing with a long red light, swept everywhere they could.
The bullets hit the railing of the concrete-poured bridge deck, splashing countless sparks and cement powder.
Roy was hit in front of him by a stray bullet that flew off, and he rolled and hid behind Chen Ming, and a chain of bullets chased Roy's body to hit the hidden cement pillar into potholes.
"We can't be here!" Roy leaned on Chen Ming's ear and shouted, "There can't be so many people hidden here, there must be more cover!" ”
Chen Ming calmly poked out the muzzle of the gun, and with a gunshot sounded, the Type 38 rifle bullet with strong penetrating power pierced through a not thick bunker sandbag, knocking down the machine gunner behind, but the bullet that had lost almost all of its kinetic energy only knocked him down, and for a moment the lucky soldier continued to pour ammunition happily to this side.
"This is not the way, the lockdown is too tight!" Looking at the wide bridge deck: "We have to build a bunker!" There's a lot of space here! Chen Ming also replied to Roy with a yell.
Roy looked at the team members who were gathered right away and shouted a name: "Robin! Come and build cover! Or die! ”
After shouting this, he pointed to the cement fence on the opposite side and shouted to Chen Ming: "Cover me, I'll go to the opposite side!" ”
Chen Ming made an OK gesture, and then compared 3 and 2 with his hand, and pointed to the opposite side with the finger that should be compared to 1.
Chen Ming, who made this gesture, rolled out of the cover, half-knelt and picked up the rifle in his hand, at the speed of one shot per second, he used up the 5 bullets in the rifle in his hand, and then returned to the cover as fast as he could, not forgetting to shout to Roy: "Change the ammunition!" Cover! ”
At this time, I saw another disadvantage of the 38 style, the reload was too small!
Slapping a magazine into the magazine again, Chen Ming rolled out again, and at the same time gave Roy a sign language to move on.
At this time, Roy was almost beaten and couldn't raise his head, Chen Ming's timely cover allowed him not to hold on to the spot, and ran to the opposite side of the bridge with a roll.
Chen Ming's marksmanship is undoubtedly much better than Roy's, basically he doesn't need to aim, and every shot he can make a machine gun bunker temporarily mute.
It's not that he hits the enemy with every shot, it's that his accurate shooting puts too much pressure on the enemy!
This time under cover, Roy rushed through most of the distance, and the group members who were still sprinting on the road just now finally arrived in a safe position.
For a while, there was a lot of gunfire and bullets raining down.
The suppressive shooting of dozens of people was much more effective than the suppression of Chen Ming or Roy alone, and there was even a long period of dumb fire in the bunker opposite.
But after all, the ammunition capacity of the rifle is still too small, and the continuous attack ability is too poor, and a round of shooting only suppresses the opposite side for more than ten seconds, and the rifle is empty of bullets one after another.
And in this short period of ten seconds, Robin, who was called by Roy to build a bunker, built two bunkers with sandbags and began to build a third one.
Looking at Chen Ming's gaze, this Robin hid behind the bunker he had set up, smiled hehe, and said loudly: "Sapper!" Professional sappers! ”
Looking at the gunfire on the opposite side that was fierce again, the two regiment members who had run out of rifle bullets rushed out, and after one occupied a bunker, he actually pulled out two machine guns.
One of the ones that came out was an American-made M1941.
The other was even more exaggerated, and a Soviet-made SG43 Guryonov heavy machine gun with 7.62 mm caliber ammunition was spilled out in just a moment.
Seeing that the opponent's fire was suppressed again, Robin immediately pounced and began to build cover there, while Roy had already reached the opposite side by this time, and was shooting accurately with his rifle.
The two sides were firing at a distance of three or four hundred meters, and the machine gun bullets were basically impossible to hit anyone, but relying on two excellent snipers, their side obviously took a big advantage.
By the 14th minute of the battle, the machine gun bunker on the opposite side had been wiped out, and the system prompt came at the right time.
System Notice: You and your team have completed the mission to capture Feldwezelt Bridge ahead of schedule, and the rating will be settled after the battle.
Looking at this system prompt, Chen Ming finally relaxed, and the short 14-minute battle made Chen Ming feel that a century had passed.
Of course, getting the job done ahead of schedule doesn't mean you don't pay the price.
Two of the team were killed, four were seriously wounded, and more than 30 were lightly wounded.
Among the dead were the fierce man who fired directly at the SG43 Guryonov heavy machine gun.
He was set on fire by the defenders, and was hit by at least five rifles at the same time, including the ammunition box for the heavy machine gun, and the largest wave of casualties occurred at that time.
The stray bullets scattered in all directions injured the team members who were covering the shooting in the rear, and Chen Ming was almost killed by dozens of stray bullets at that time.
However, it has to be said that the team is fully staffed, there are medical soldiers, serious injuries become minor injuries, and minor injuries are directly cured, and these people can quickly recover their combat effectiveness and return to combat.
Looking at the system prompt, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the prompt that came next made everyone have to tighten their hearts again.
System Hint: You have completed the quest to capture Feldwezelt Bridge (excellent), and the rating will be resolved after the battle.
Team: The Nakagawa Division will arrive on the battlefield in 15 minutes to take part in the capture of the Feldwezelt Bridge, and hold out until the 18th Corps arrives.
(Note: In this mission, each person has three chances to die)
This hint made Roy and his party, who had just lost to the Nakagawa Division, a little frightened, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
When Chen Ming saw Roy's appearance, he couldn't help but curse a word of shame, and then shouted loudly to the sapper Robin: "Why are you in a daze? Build fortifications! Velocity! Go to the other side of the bridge! We had 15 minutes to get this in order! ”
Chen Ming's shouting brought everyone back to their senses, and the members of the regiment, who were in a state of idleness, immediately took action and reorganized and used the position they had just broken through.
The people who were still cursing the enemy's bunkers just now for how difficult they were to fight immediately began to look forward to these bunkers being stronger and larger, and this kind of cursing came and went, which made Chen Ming laugh for a while.
In less than 10 minutes, Roy relied on his experience to direct Robin to build a bunker group with a depth of 30 meters at the bridgehead.
This made Chen Ming very curious about why Roy was so familiar with the construction of temporary positions, and after questioning, he learned that Roy had fought this kind of airborne occupation and garrison battle when he was in service, and these bunkers were all in accordance with the standard manual.
After taking care of the bunker and allocating the manpower, the two also entered the previously selected sniper position.
It was not a two-person cooperation, it was still a single sniper, and the two were not far from the bridgehead, about 60 meters apart, and ambushed to provide fire support to the bunker group in front.
Of course, Chen Ming has another mission, to knock out the enemy's possible tanks.
Chen Ming, dressed in a gilly suit, lay on the selected sniper point, and swept back and forth in the sniper scope over the possible positions of the enemy.
Roy's call suddenly came from the communicator: "Lone wanderer, they analyzed this mission just now, maybe we will have some trouble!" ”
"You mean the 18th Corps?" His eyes did not leave the sniper scope, Chen Ming still locked on the position where the enemy was most likely to appear, and he was holding the 38 type in his hand, and the TAC was next to him.
"Yes, I doubt the 18th Corps will be blocked, if that's the case—" Roy said, worried.
"If it's blocked, let's go and see, let them hold the bridge, you and I go and see! Well, they're here! Chen Ming's muzzle suddenly fixed in one direction and stopped moving, and a group of soldiers were covering the position in a standard marching formation.
