Chapter 1534: Sudden Sneak Attack
The 3rd Armored Regiment in front found that they were being teased, and the American reinforcements deliberately put up a suspicious formation, wasting time, and taking advantage of this time, the other side had slipped away in advance.
This made them very angry, and the leading Hades with his troops was about to pursue, but in the back, the division commander Ike frowned, something was wrong.
If other troops retreated, then he could still believe it, but to say that the American reinforcements retreated, but with a strange twist, the other party's will to fight was very strong, and when they retreated, they actually fled to the point where they lost all their howitzers?
It's definitely not their style.
If they run away with howitzers, then Ike can still believe that if this American reinforcement is killed, it will have an impact on the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, and maybe there will be no American reinforcements in the future, so it was the commander above who ordered them to retreat. But if they even threw the howitzer, Ike definitely didn't believe it, there was a problem here!
What's the problem? Without thinking about it, the answer is already on the horizon.
"Order Hades, don't chase in a hurry, search the surroundings carefully, those American reinforcements may be hiding nearby, waiting to sneak attack us." Ike said: "The infantry dismounted from the chariots, expanded the search area, and searched me within two hundred meters of the riverbank. ”
The distance between the infantry and the tank will not exceed 100 meters, and the consideration of factors such as maneuvering will not exceed 200 meters.
At the same time, the troops behind were also rapidly advancing towards the river bank.
When he received the order, Hades was still a little puzzled: "What's the matter?" What is the division commander cautious about? If we continue to procrastinate here, how can we catch up with those Nissi and kill them all? ”
Hades was confused, but, as a soldier, it was his duty to carry out orders, so he gave this order despite his doubts.
Proceed slowly and carefully search both sides of the forward route!
A soldier, armed with his rifle, slowly searched both sides.
On the left, less than thirty meters is the river bank, bare, it must not be able to hide people, if there is an ambush, then the other party should be hiding on the right side of their side, more than 100 meters on the right side, it is a forest that is not dense, it seems that it can't hide people.
Once the search began, time was slow, and they had only hastily eaten a few mouthfuls of dry field rations from morning to now, and now the sun had begun to set in the west.
Step by step, along the banks of the river, it took them two hours to search for less than a kilometer.
"Commander, there's nothing around us."
At this time, Hades was sitting in front of the turret of a tank, holding an 88mm tank gun in one hand and a cigarette in the other, smoking a cigarette while listening to the report of his subordinates.
"Keep moving forward." Hades said.
At this moment, behind him, there was the roar of the engine, and another Tiger tank came towards him, and when he saw the number on the turret of the tank, Hadiston was a spirit, jumping from the turret.
"Commander, are you here in person?" Hades looked at Ike as he stepped out of the Tiger tank and asked, "We can take care of it without you coming in person." ”
"How's it going?" Ike asked.
"It's fine." Hades said bluntly, "We double-checked the right side, that damn wood, there was nothing. ”
"What about the left?"
"On the left is the riverbank, what else can there be?" Hades said nonchalantly, and suddenly, he came to his senses.
Ike was looking at the riverbank with piercing eyes.
Damn, I actually missed the most critical thing!
Hades patted his head: "Quick, infantry, infantry fighting vehicles, drive me to the riverbank, quick!" ”
And at this moment, the originally calm riverbank was suddenly changing.
Suddenly, on the side of the river, wet heads appeared, and no one knew when they came out, these people simply came out of nowhere.
At this point, the Skeleton Master was on guard.
The infantry were still in the jungle on the right, receiving orders to move to the left, while the tank crews, many of whom were exposed.
During the battle, they can stay in the tank all the time, but when the battle is over, few people like to stay in this iron lump, which is too aggrieved.
And just like that, these Nissi suddenly appeared.
A soldier stood on his knees with a bazooka, pulled the trigger, and as a flame came out of the tail, the warhead flew towards the Tiger tank on this side, which happened to be the direction of Hades and the division commander Ike.
"Danger!" Hades shouted loudly, and then, using his body to protect the division commander Ike.
The rocket swooped, flew over, grazed the edge of the turret, and flew away, although it was only more than thirty meters, but it was obvious that the other party's luck was not very good, and it didn't hit.
"Smack, smack!" The soldiers of the 442nd Infantry Regiment, armed with their M1 Garand rifles, were lying on their stomachs on the bank of the river, firing rapidly in this direction. The muzzles of their guns, the flames barely stopped, shot after shot.
If it weren't for the German 6.8 mm submachine gun, this American standard rifle would have been the most powerful rifle of this era, and its biggest feature was its fast rate of fire.
The other rifles are bolt-action, and after each shot, the bolt needs to be manually pulled to load, even if the magazine is used, it still needs to be manually loaded.
However, the Garand is different, this rifle is semi-automatic.
"Smack!" With another shot, the Nissi infantryman watched as a German infantryman fell, then turned his gun to aim at the next man.
At the moment when it fires, after the bullet is fired, the bolt is driven by the gunpowder gas, quickly rotates, perfectly unlocks, throws the cartridge case, and then the bullet is loaded, the bolt is locked, and the next bullet has entered the state of readiness.
Holding it, you don't have to think about the problem of reloading, it adopts the principle of air conduction, and rotates the bolt of the lock, so that it is always in a firing state.
One shot, then another, until the eight bullets in the chamber were gone.
It is not necessary to load manually, but it cannot be fired continuously, so it is called semi-automatic, the emergence of this kind of rifle makes their rate of fire very high, three times that of ordinary rifles, and in counter-fire, several rifles together, can even catch up with the role of light machine guns.
However, they still cannot be compared with the German automatic rifles, just now the German soldiers were only suddenly attacked, and then they have completely reacted.
Want to sneak up on the German army? No way!
