Chapter 376: Helicopter (2)

Several trees were broken by flying bullets, and the French soldiers who were about to storm the German positions were even worse than these trees.

Without time to think about what these dragonfly-like creatures with propellers on their heads were, Bastian hurriedly fell to the ground with his head in his hands, but fortunately there was a crater that had been blown out where he was, which helped him to dodge the flying bullets perfectly.

But the other soldiers were not as lucky as him, and the German helicopters, after sweeping all the soldiers who were about to rush into the German positions, began to extend their fire into the distance, and many French troops immediately began to look for cover on the spot, hoping to avoid the eyes of the German pilots.

But how can the actions of the rabbits on the ground escape the eyes of the falcons in the sky?

The 20mm cannon shells rained down on the ground, and many soldiers hiding behind trees or rocks were shattered by the cannon shells before they could even snort, and the stones or trees they regarded as life-saving shelter were shattered before them.

A soldier shoveled a steel helmet and a sliding shovel into the crater where Bastian was hiding, and lay down beside him.

"Damn! Damn it! What the hell is that?! He was obviously frightened by these "monsters" that could hover in mid-air, "Is that damn German FΓΌhrer Satan?!" These monsters that can hover in mid-air are fallen angels summoned by him?! ”

"I don't know! Perhaps! Bastian huddled himself tightly in the crater and listened to the bullets whizzing overhead, "Maybe God has abandoned us...... Oh, my God! What are we going to do? ”

Just when the French army was dazed by the sudden German helicopter and the offensive front was about to collapse, a familiar whistle accompanied by the company commander's shout: "Don't panic! Don't panic! Raise your gun and shoot at those things in the sky! God bless us! We are France! ”

The sound of the charge post and the shouts of the company commander successfully stabilized the morale of the French army, which was about to collapse, and even some soldiers overcame the fear of the unknown and raised their guns to reach out of the bunker and shoot bullets at the German helicopter in the sky.

"Fuck it! Fuck it! The soldier next to Bastian was also inspired by the whistle, he smashed the steel helmet on his head to the ground, and then picked up his Brown light machine gun and half-crouched up from the bunker, "Whether you fall from the sky or something, I will pluck your two hairs today!" We are France! ”

Bastian heard the roars of his allies and was excited, and he picked up his rifle and wanted to stand up and join in, but the sound of his comrade's head bursting next to him calmed him down again.

The French 7.5mm bullets kept hitting the German helicopters, but they were all bounced off without exception, and they had no effect except for a ding-and-zero sound, while the German 7.92mm bullets were different, they only pierced their bodies mercilessly.

In the face of the asymmetrical battle, the last trace of psychological defense of the French army, which could break through the German defense, was breached, and they abandoned their guns one after another and fled towards the starting position.

Seeing that the French army was retreating like a tide, the German troops on the position actually took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and under the cover of the helicopter overhead, they drove the retreating French troops straight to the French advance position.

The French advance positions had already taken into account the possibility of a German counter-charge, so the French placed many heavy machine guns at the front of the position, and their firepower was enough to repel the charge of the regimental troops on this terrain, but now in the face of the German charge, these heavy machine gun positions could not play their due role.

Because between the barrels of heavy machine guns and the charging Germans, there were hundreds of French routers.

"Get down! Get down! Otherwise, the Germans will rush to the ground after your ass! The commander of the heavy machine-gun position shouted anxiously as he looked at the approaching Germans and friendly troops.

But the retreating French turned a deaf ear to the shouts of their commanders and still rushed towards their positions.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, the heavy machine gun commander slammed his military cap, and then drew his pistol from the armed belt around his waist, "Everyone on bayonets!" ”

"What are you doing with a bayonet?" A colonel walked up to the position commander.

"Hello Commander!" As soon as the commander saw that it was the regiment commander, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Report to the regiment commander, the purpose of the bayonet is to rush up and fight the Germans hand-to-hand and repel their attack!" ”

"Why use bayonets to repel the German attack?" The regimental commander asked, "And what are these heavy machine guns for?" ”

"But...... There is a ...... between the Germans and us," the commander was stunned.

"I asked them to capture the German positions, not for them to help the Germans capture our positions, understand?" The regimental commander sneered twice, then left the place with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the back of the regiment commander leaving, the commander was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and waved to his subordinates: "Fire!" ”

As the commander gave the order, dozens of heavy machine guns began to breathe flames, and the 8mm heavy machine gun bullets were far more powerful than the French 7.5mm rifle rounds, so these bullets could easily penetrate the blockade and hit the enemy - usually these "blockers" were mostly trees, but also the French troops who stood in the way.

The retreating French soldiers did not expect that their allies would shoot at them, and a large number of French soldiers looked at their comrades who were shooting at them in disbelief, and fell to the ground unwillingly.

It is undoubtedly an irony that they did not die under the guns of their opponents, but by the guns of their comrades.

But this also allowed the French to achieve the results they wanted, and the Germans were overwhelmed by the heavy French firepower and halted the offensive.

But soon several German helicopters flew over the French positions and began to counter-suppress the French positions with airborne machine guns and cannons.

But after all, the position is not like a skirmisher, and there are many heavy weapons on the position that are heavy and difficult to move, but they are powerful and fierce.

Two anti-aircraft Hatch Chase heavy machine guns aimed at one of several helicopters, and 13.2mm armor-piercing shells slammed into the hovering helicopter, then drilled through its thin armor and destroyed everything inside.

Soon, the helicopter that had been set on fire emitted thick black smoke, spun around and fell from the sky, smashed into the ground and exploded into a ball of fire.

Although the development of German helicopters is ahead of other countries, but limited by modern technology and materials, the load of German helicopters is still not large, and in terms of armor, it can only try to ensure that the vital parts will not be penetrated by rifle bullets, and in the face of large-caliber armor-piercing bullets, pulling the helicopter to a safe height is still the first choice of German pilots.
