Chapter 114: Attacked
"Who is the other party?" Rommel asked, "Is it an underground organization?" ”
As mentioned earlier, there were many underground organizations in Libya that opposed Italian colonial rule or were bought off by the British.
"We're not sure, General!" The guard said, "But it doesn't seem like it, we need to be transferred!" ”
"Follow me, Sergeant!" Rommel said to Qin Chuan: "I will arrange for you to return to the troops, and of course, the chickens brought to General Stryk!" ”
Rommel seemed very calm, and he didn't forget to joke with Qin Chuan at this time.
Qin Chuan followed Rommel down the stairs to the downstairs, surrounded by guards holding submachine guns as if facing a great enemy, one of the guards returned the rifle to Qin Chuan after getting the permission of the commander, after all, Qin Chuan had to return to the army after going downstairs.
"General!" Qin Chuan asked as he walked: "It's really good to be your guard, they all have new military uniforms!" ”
"It can't be!" Rommel laughed: "All of our current capacity is used to transport equipment and ammunition......
Before the words fell, a guard seemed to realize something, and suddenly raised his submachine gun and pointed it at Rommel, but it was too late, and Qin Chuan knocked him to the ground with a rifle butt.
The surrounding guards were nervous for a while, and some people didn't understand the situation, so they pointed their guns at Qin Chuan and shouted, "Don't move, raise your hands!" ”。
"You idiots!" Rommel yelled at the guards: "Put down the gun, someone has come in, the sergeant saved my life!" ”
"Boom!" There was a violent explosion outside, followed by more intense gunfire.
"They're not an underground organization, General!" Qin Chuanmao bent down and said to Rommel who was lying on the ground: "They were sent by the British to assassinate you, and they have successfully infiltrated your troops, I think it's better for you not to go out!" ”
Rommel understood what Qin Chuan meant, the enemy had infiltrated the guards, and it was still night at this time, and going outside was undoubtedly to give the enemy a chance.
"Go upstairs!" Rommel shouted and ordered the two guards: "Hold the staircase and don't let anyone come up!" ”
Rommel's order was of course correct, and in the absence of identification of friend or foe, it was better to prohibit everyone from going upstairs.
As soon as Rommel and the others went upstairs, a dense line of machine-gun bullets poured in, causing documents to fly everywhere in the office, and a guard who was standing at the window and observing was knocked to the ground on the spot.
"Turn off the lights!" Qin Chuan shouted.
The lights will undoubtedly indicate the target to the enemy, and the enemy will also be able to spot the location of the guards from the flickering shadows under the lights.
The guards weren't stupid either, and someone turned off the lights immediately.
"General!" Qin Chuan suggested: "We should change the room!" ”
"That's right!" Without saying a word, Rommel led the group to a conference room separated by two rooms, which was relatively empty and convenient for the soldiers to move.
It didn't take long for them to know they had made the right choice, as several explosions came from Command Headquarters, accompanied by a burst of glass shattering...... If I hadn't moved just now, I was afraid that I would have been blown up into a pile of corpses at this time.
Hearing this explosion, Qin Chuan's face became serious, and then stopped several guards who were about to lean against the window to shoot.
"What's wrong?" Rommel asked.
"The enemy has mortars!" Qin Chuan said: "51MM mortar, although its range is not far, but a skilled shooter can shoot shells from the window into the building!" ”
Although Qin Chuan's words were not explained, Rommel understood: the guard standing in front of the window to shoot is equivalent to exposing the target, and then several shells will whistle in...... This is almost fatal to the people in the house, as the pieces of furniture that are blown up and shoot off can be good shrapnel.
"Any idea what I think?" Rommel said, "They are under your command!" ”
"Me?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned: "Command them?" ”
Any one of these guards has a higher rank than Qin Chuan, and all of them who can become personal guards are people who are deeply trusted by Rommel, but now Qin Chuan wants to command them......
"Yes!" Rommel shouted at the sound of gunfire: "Don't hesitate, sergeant, now is not the time!" ”
"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan answered, and summoned all the guards to his side.
"This building has seven rooms!"
"It's eight!" A guard corrected.
"Good!" Qin Chuan said: "There are six of us, each of whom is responsible for one, and the remaining two are left alone." All you have to do is shoot a bullet out of the window in your respective room, then quickly evacuate, and then repeat the same thing after the enemy fire has been suppressed, understand? ”
"Understood!" The guards answered, and dispersed.
Qin Chuan glanced at Rommel, Rommel understood, and said, "Give them a lesson, sergeant, I can take care of myself!" ”
Qin Chuan also believes that Rommel can take care of himself, after all, he is a general who fought all the way up from a company commander, at this time, he just sat in the office for a long time and was unfamiliar with the battlefield, and the other is that he is really not suitable for combat as a general.
So Qin Chuan sneaked back to the headquarters with a rifle and a cat's waist...... The headquarters had just been bombed, and it was a mess, and there was even a big hole in the wooden floor, so the guards subconsciously didn't choose this room.
The same is true of the British army, and it is precisely because of this that this room is the safest.
Qin Chuan carefully bypassed the obstacle under the looming starlight...... He didn't want to make a noise for the British to notice what was going on.
Then he looked out the window, and then he returned a little distance and placed his gun on a table leg that had been blown up, which made the muzzle of the rifle about half a meter from the window.
Qin Chuan did this with deep meaning.
First of all, the fact that enemy mortar shells can enter this room so quickly and accurately means that the angle between the gun position and the window is not large, otherwise it would be difficult for even well-trained people to accurately enter the room from the window in the dark.
Secondly, the reason why Qin Chuan did this was because he didn't want the enemy to find out his position...... If the muzzle of the rifle is outside the window, you can see sparks coming from the muzzle in any direction.
And the muzzle is indoors...... Although the shooting range is narrow, it is only possible to find Qin Chuan within a limited range of the front.
Then the German guards took action.
The MP40 was fired with a small gunshot, but the muzzle spark was noticeable.
So the British machine gun rang out quickly, and Qin Chuan found the location of the British machine gunner at the first time, but he didn't move, he was waiting for a mortar, which was more threatening.
