Chapter 17 Competition
Only fifty-three shells!
You must know that the rate of fire of the PAK36 anti-tank gun is 13 rounds per minute, and 53 shells are divided between five anti-tank guns, which does not take a minute to finish.
After thinking about it, Qin Chuan shouted to the artillery who came to reinforce him: "Hey, I suggest that you remove the three guns first, let these three guns and the extra shells hide in the rear together, and then replenish them when there are losses!" ”
The artilleryman looked at Qin Chuan's rank, and asked rhetorically with a mocking expression, "Are you ordering us?" Private of the third class! ”
As he spoke, he deliberately raised his head and showed the rank of the sergeant on his collar in front of Qin Chuan.
Bazel, who had a broken palm, noticed the situation here, so he shouted at the artilleryman from a few meters away: "Sergeant, his words are my orders, do you need me to repeat them?" ”
"No, sir!" The artilleryman glanced at Qin Chuan, and then reluctantly withdrew the three anti-tank guns.
It turned out that Qin Chuan was right to do this, the British were not fools, they would use artillery fire to suppress the German army, of course, they might not be able to spot these tank guns and make them the focus of the attack in time.
However, Qin Chuan's approach was to make every shell fire at the target as much as possible, rather than being blown up by the British artillery, or there were no shells or no shells.
Bazel was busy arranging his firepower, and he seemed to be very good at this, such as where to arrange a machine gun and where to use it as a mortar position.
But it's the sniper that's more important......
"Soldier!" Broken Palm Bazel shouted at Qin Chuan, "Your name is Flick, right!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan replied.
Bazel beckoned to the dozen or so people who had just come to report, and then said to Qin Chuan: "They are under your command!" ”
"What?" Qin Chuan didn't believe his ears a little: "Sir, I'm just a third-class soldier!" ”
"Forget your rank!" Bazel said impatiently: "They are the snipers I transferred, I can't find anyone who knows more about the situation and is familiar with sniper tactics than you, we don't have time, understand?" ”
"Yes, sir!" Only then did Qin Chuan notice that the rifles on the back of the dozen or so people were the same as him, all with scopes.
Looking at their military ranks again, Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed, because there was even a second lieutenant among them.
"Alright, Private of the Third Class!" The second lieutenant asked Qin Chuan, "What should we do?" ”
"Uh, that's right!" Qin Chuan hurriedly took out the sketch from his pocket, which he had torn out of Bazel's notebook.
"Our task is to cover anti-tank guns!" Qin Chuan said: "The point is on the anti-tank gun, and its location is in the ......"
As he spoke, Qin Chuan added a few more strokes to the paper and pointed out a position directly opposite the school.
"Here!" Qin Chuan said: "So, what we want to kill is any fire that may threaten the gunners of the anti-tank guns, as for others, such as machine gunners and mortars, it is not in the scope of our consideration." ”
After a pause, Qin Chuan said to the snipers: "Two groups are on the right side of the street, two groups are on the left, and the others follow me in the middle!" ”
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
……
Saying that, the snipers freely combined and scattered left and right, to Qin Chuan's surprise, the second lieutenant actually chose to be with him.
"Don't worry!" The second lieutenant said: "I am absolutely obedient to your orders!" ”
Qin Chuan heard that this was a bit provocative, but Qin Chuan didn't want to worry about the second lieutenant...... After all, the rank of second lieutenant was several levels higher than Qin Chuan's.
"Are you ready?" The baker asked Qin Chuan, who was appointed to coordinate the work.
This may seem like a simple job, but it was very difficult in an era when radios were not widely equipped, as they are now...... Bazel just wanted to know if the parts were ready, so he had to send people around to ask.
"Ready!" Qin Chuan replied, and then took the remaining five snipers to climb up a tulou with his waist on his back.
The second lieutenant fell behind, and when Qin Chuan was puzzled, he saw the second lieutenant walking up to him with two rags that he had found out of nowhere, and threw one of them to Qin Chuan, and then said sarcastically: "Third class, don't you have to disguise?" ”
Qin Chuan felt embarrassed for a while, he really hadn't done this thing.
Then, when Qin Chuan saw the second lieutenant and the other snipers skillfully tear through the rags and wrap them around their rifles and helmets, Qin Chuan's embarrassment turned to shame...... This should be the basic job of a sniper, and if the trigger hadn't been wounded so early and left the battlefield, Qin Chuan would have learned this.
Qin Chuan didn't think much about it, he followed their example to camouflage the rifle and helmet, and then used plaster to paint his face...... I have never eaten pork and have seen pigs walking, and I have seen many related scenes in modern movies and television.
Then several snipers scattered, each looking for their own sniper position to hide.
Qin Chuan chose a wall that had been blown down, and before that, he also used the dust from the wall to wipe the camouflage of his rifle and helmet to make them closer to the color of the broken wall.
Qin Chuan noticed that two snipers chose the window and the other two chose the hole in the wall.
Then Qin Chuan suddenly discovered...... He didn't even know where the ensign had gone!
At first, Qin Chuan thought it was nothing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not simple...... As a sniper, it's often not so much how good your marksmanship is, but how much you can ignore him at any time.
Qin Chuan just unconsciously ignored the existence of the second lieutenant, and he was still by his side just now.
Therefore, if it is a competition between the second lieutenant and Qin Chuan, then Qin Chuan has already lost one round.
This made Qin Chuan a little frustrated, but he quickly found a reason for himself...... They had trained in a sniper school and had been on the battlefield for a few years, and they had only been in this role for a few days, so it was normal to have a gap with them.
This is Qin Chuan's habit, he will find excuses for himself to dispel negative emotions, but this does not mean that he will ignore his weaknesses and the gap with his opponents.
Then, Qin Chuan slowly stretched out his rifle, and waited for a while before he slowly poked his head out, holding the trigger in his hand and observing the school opposite through the scope.
The school is more than 300 meters away from Qinchuan...... Thanks to the previous German attack, the buildings between the enemy and our lines were bombarded into ruins by artillery fire from both sides.
Then Qin Chuan felt a tingling of his scalp, what if the building he was in became the next target to be bombed? Is that about to become part of the ruins?!
But there was no time to think about it, because with a few muffled sounds, three red flares had risen into the air...... The offensive began.
