Chapter 378: Helicopter (4)

Just as the gap that the German commandos had desperately opened was about to be re-closed, the sound of engines in the sky was louder again.

As if moved by the spirit of the ground commandos, the German helicopter hovering at a safe distance actually pounced regardless of the danger and once again suppressed the French troops on the ground!

The two anti-aircraft machine guns of the French army also immediately attacked at the same time as the German helicopter pounced, trying to drive these "monsters" that posed a great threat to personnel back into the sky, but the German pilot did not choose to retreat into the sky in the face of the attack of the anti-aircraft machine guns this time, but one of them rushed over with the flying bullets, and hovered over the two anti-aircraft machine guns with the attack of 13.2mm armor-piercing shells.

"Oh, O Virgin Mary......" The two anti-aircraft machine gun shooters looked at the two German MG42 machine guns and a 20mm machine gun pointed at their black hole, and before they could mutter a word, they were beaten to pulp.

But the brave helicopter did not end well, it ate more than 20 rounds of 13.2mm armor-piercing rounds and countless 7.5mm rifle rounds, many important parts of the plane, including the engine, were damaged, and even the pilot was hit in the left shoulder by a 7.5mm rifle bullet that pierced the cockpit glass, but fortunately he did not lose consciousness.

The injured pilot desperately pulled the steering stick and increased the engine output in an attempt to regain control of the helicopter and pull it to a safe height, but the badly damaged helicopter ignored the pilot's movements at all and still fell to the ground "doing its own thing". Seeing this, the pilot had to change his mind and let the helicopter crash as close to his own troops as possible.

Soon, the 2.5-ton gunship smashed to the ground, and the huge rotors spun around several times as they hit the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dirt before breaking off.

But fortunately, the helicopter's fuel tank was not damaged during the battle or during the fall, so it did not catch fire and explode after being planted on the ground like the one that was shot down earlier. However, fortunately and unfortunately, the place where it fell was under French control, and now a dozen French soldiers have cautiously approached it.

The helicopter pilot and the weapon operator soon woke up from the coma caused by the violent impact, they pushed open the deformed hatch and struggled to crawl out, but the French troops who surrounded them obviously did not let go of the German pilots, they saw that two people wearing German pilots' uniforms crawled out of the "monster", and immediately raised their rifles in their hands and opened fire again and again, and the pilot, who was already injured and slow, was shot three or four times on the way out of the cockpit and was killed on the spot. The weapons operator sitting behind him managed to dodge behind the helicopter wreckage and shoot a red flare into the sky.

However, it is not known whether he can avoid the next catastrophe, because he is now in the middle of the enemy group, and in addition to the empty flare gun, there is only a Belgian-made M1935 pistol, although this pistol is powerful and has a capacity of up to 13 rounds, but for the MAS36 rifle and the Saterella M1924/29 light machine gun equipped by the French army on the opposite side, this pistol still looks pitiful and helpless.

On the frontal battlefield, thanks to the direct support of the helicopter unit, the German army successfully rushed into the gap opened by the commando team and attacked both sides along the gap, and the second-rate French troops on the position were soon dizzy by the elite German army, abandoned the position and retreated hastily, while the heavy machine guns weighing dozens of kilograms were "deserved" by them to abandon the position.

In addition to these fleeing French troops, there were also many who surrendered directly, and the fleeing Germans were not pursuing the victory, after all, their losses were too great, all the armored forces in an armored grenadier regiment were lost, and less than 1,200 of the 2,200 grenadiers before departure remained, and the loss of the whole regiment was nearly half.

As for the surrendered French troops, it depends on the situation of the German troops who captured them and their own luck, many companies with extremely heavy losses ignored Lyon's ban and international law (although this thing is useless), and directly executed a group of surrendered French troops on the spot, but most of the companies still chose to strictly abide by Lyon's orders, tied up their captured French soldiers and threw them in front of the position.

Bastian was one of the French soldiers who surrendered, and he happened to be tripped by several of them during the retreat to escape the fire of the French heavy machine guns, but many of his comrades fell under his own guns, which made him feel disheartened by the war, so he also gave up on continuing to flee, and just stayed where he was and waited for the Germans to come back and kill him.

Soon, the Germans drove all the French troops from their positions, as he had thought, and then went back to clear the prisoners of war behind them.

An infantry squad soon spotted him sitting on the ground and gathered around him.

One of the German squads, who seemed to be very emotional, raised his bayonet and rushed towards him, and Bastian smiled bitterly twice, then closed his eyes and waited for the bayonet to plunge into his chest.

But the pain lingered, and after a long time, Bastian reopened his eyes to find that the German soldier with his bayonet had been overturned to the ground by his own men.

"Damn it! Hans, calm the for me! The head of one of them angrily shouted at the man on the ground with a bayonet, "We are soldiers!" Not a damn butcher! ”

"Squad leader! They killed Crystelle! Kill Loew! Kill half of our brothers! The soldier on the ground shouted with red eyes.

"I know! But the brothers were not killed by him, you calm down Lao Tzu! The squad leader said, "The Führer has specially emphasized that we will not be allowed to kill prisoners casually!" You forgot?! ”

"But ......"

The soldier on the ground was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by his squad leader.

"Don't it! Hoffman, go up and tie him up for me, and take the company with you! ”

"Yes!" A soldier stepped out and pulled a bundle from his waist pouch and tied Bastian tightly.

Bastian could clearly feel the anger emanating from the German soldier named Hoffmann, but he resisted his anger and chose to carry out the squad leader's orders.

This puzzled Bastian, and as he walked along the road, he thought twice and asked the German soldiers who had tied him up in pure German: "Why don't you kill me?" ”

"Do you know German?" The soldier named Hoffman looked surprised.

"Yes, I've been in Germany for a while...... Bastian shrugged his shoulders, "but why didn't you kill me?" ”

"Of course I would have chosen to kill you if I could." Hoffman gritted his teeth and said, "But our Führer often said to us - a living person is always more important than a hundred corpses!" ”

Bastian nodded slightly after hearing this answer, and then looked at his comrades on the ground who were killed by his own people, and inexplicably felt a little ridiculous.
