Chapter Ninety-Three: Charge (3)
IN A WAY, THE GERMAN 50MM MORTARS ACTED SOMEWHAT LIKE THE GRENADIERS OF LITTLE JAPAN...... Little Japan also used grenadiers as a cover for close fire on the battlefield and then charged at the enemy, and it tried again and again, and even the national army had to imitate the grenadiers because of its inability to resist the mode of small Japan's grenadier and charge after a row of shells, hoping to "return the control of others in the way of others."
The range of the 50MM mortar is more powerful and the range is longer than that of the Japanese grenadiers, and the barrage that explodes is of course different.
This made Qin Chuan and the German soldiers rush to the tank very smoothly, and then the artillery suddenly stopped...... THIS IS ALSO ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THE 50MM MORTAR, WHICH IS VERY CLOSELY COORDINATED WITH THE INFANTRY.
This is mainly due to the fact that the mortar is in close proximity to the infantry, the infantry is in the gunner's visual range, unlike the artillery of long-range artillery, which does not see at all that the infantry needs radio contact and calculates the coordinates.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THE GUNNERS OF THE 50MM MORTARS THEMSELVES ARE INFANTRY TRAINED IN INFANTRY TRAINING BATTALIONS...... In addition to rifles, the basic training of the German infantry also includes mortars, anti-tank grenades, M24 grenades, gun grenades, etc., and then the soldiers with better mortar shooting performance are selected and equipped with 50MM mortars to form mortar groups.
The advantage of this is that the artillerymen of the mortar group are very familiar with the tactics and speed of the infantry charge, and can even reach the level of "heart and soul".
As it is now, mortars stop firing when it is time to stop.
Almost at the same time, the German soldiers who rushed to the front set fire to the M24 grenades and threw them behind the tanks in rows......
"Boom" a bang.
The British troops, who had been pressed by the mortars and couldn't raise their heads, just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but they were bombarded by a row of grenades.
"Come on, boys!" Bazel brandished his pistol and shouted, "Kill them all!" ”
The German soldiers shouted, got up from the ground and rushed forward with bayonets.
The gunfire soon rang out, and the squad leader with MP40 in his hand rushed to the front, and they rushed to the rear of the tank with submachine guns in a burst of random fire, and after a shuttle of bullets, the soldiers with bayonets followed closely behind...... It can also be seen from this that the German army is correct in equipping the squad leader with the MP40, and the squad leader rushing ahead can not only allow the MP40 to suppress the enemy first, but also improve the morale of the soldiers.
Qin Chuan, the squad leader, is different, although his class has two MP40s, they are not in his hands...... Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly say that it was better not to use a submachine gun, otherwise he would have to rush forward to block the bullets now.
The two submachine gunners, Werner and Keller, did not hesitate at all, the two of them covered each other with submachine guns, one shot a shuttle of bullets and the other was on the other, and occasionally Werner had time to draw a grenade and throw it forward, which made them all kill and blew dozens of British soldiers in one go, and when Qin Chuan and others rushed up, there was an open space in front of them...... It wasn't an empty lot, to be exact, because it was strewn with the corpses of British soldiers.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.
A British soldier who was wounded and fell to the ground was just about to pull away the melon-type grenade in his hand when he was shot in the center of the eyebrow by Qin Chuan.
But it seemed too late, as the safety had already been pulled away by the British soldier when he let go of his hand.
Qin Chuan was about to shout "get down", but the quick-eyed Werner had already grabbed the grenade that was about to fall to the ground from the hands of the British soldiers and threw it in the direction of the British army.
With a "boom", the grenade exploded among the British soldiers...... Werner's reaction speed once again refreshed Qin Chuan's perception of him.
But at the same moment's hesitation, there was a gap between Keller and Werner's submachine gun combination, and a group of British soldiers with bayonets pressed up.
Keller and Timo Werner consciously moved out of the way...... For stabbing, a submachine gun that they didn't have time to load a magazine in their hands was not much better than a burning stick.
"Bang!" Qin Chuan used the last bit of time to raise his gun and shoot another bullet.
He knocked down a British soldier armed with a Thomson submachine gun, and Qin Chuan noticed that it was loaded with a drum, a drum with 100 rounds...... If this is allowed to start, I am afraid that Qin Chuan's class will be wiped out in an instant.
Then Qin Chuan didn't have a chance to shoot, because a bayonet had already stabbed at him, and the snow-white and sharp blade shone blindingly in the sun, like a poisonous snake eager to drink blood.
Qin Chuan didn't think much about it, raised his rifle and put the bayonet aside...... At this time, Qin Chuan saw his opponent clearly, it was a young man who was not yet twenty years old, Qin Chuan couldn't see his face clearly in a hurry, Qin Chuan only felt that those blue eyes were full of fear.
This was the first time Qin Chuan had come into contact with the enemy at such close range, and he couldn't imagine that two completely strangers would have to put each other to death...... If he could, Qin Chuan would rather use the rock-paper-scissors method to solve it.
But this is clearly unrealistic, this is a battlefield, a battlefield where there is no mercy and morality to speak of.
In the moment of separation, the British soldier shouted again and raised his bayonet and stabbed at Qin Chuan, looking crazy and leaving no back.
Qin Chuan realized that the two of them had to separate life and death, so he turned to one side and let go of the other party's bayonet, and then with a force on his arm, the bayonet pierced into the chest of the British soldier...... It seems easy, but it's not easy.
It's easy to say, because the British soldier's stabbing has no rules at all, or it can be said that he completely disregards his own life and death, which also dooms him to failure...... Qin Chuan didn't even stab the bayonet, he just aimed the bayonet at the opponent's chest, and then the British soldier who couldn't hold back collided with him.
It's not easy to say, because Qin Chuan clearly felt the pause of the blade entering the flesh from the bayonet, and the friction of the blade stuck between the two ribs, which made Qin Chuan feel a chill in his heart.
But that's not worse.
The bayonet may have stabbed him in the heart, and a stream of warm blood spurted out of the wound and sprinkled Qin Chuan's face, Qin Chuan saw in the blood light that the British soldier's entire face was distorted because of the pain, and he grabbed Qin Chuan's rifle and tried to pull it out, but to no avail.
Soon, he lost his strength and knelt down slowly, and after a few rapid and difficult breaths, he finally stopped moving, his hands slowly loosened, and he hung weakly to the ground with his head, but his body did not fall to the ground because the bayonet was still in Qin Chuan's hand, as if hanging on the bayonet.
