Chapter 1221: Attacking the Heart
However, compared to Andrey's side, which suffered a lot, this operation was a real loss-making business for the British army-
First, they failed to encircle and exterminate Andre's squad as expected, which was considered a failure of the operation; Second, although Andrey's squad was damaged a lot, in general, none of the units were destroyed, so the losses were still controllable, but it was different on the British side.
Not counting the men who broke in the woods, it was when they fought against Andre, they were killed by two snipers, Draena and Anton, which was quite a heavy loss. And in addition, when Andre broke through, he also destroyed three British chariots along the way, so that the cost of the British army on Andrei was really too much.
Of course, this is still the British don't know Andre's mood at this time, if they knew that Andre could break through in this situation, and still have a rather dissatisfied mood, they probably could really rush over and fight Andre directly.
And for this, Lamont naturally took the responsibility. But now is not the time to be discouraged, they need to quickly organize their troops, and then launch their second offensive at the bridgehead ahead.
Instead of playing hide and seek with the troops in the jungle, they are really suitable for this kind of combat method that can really give full play to the numerical advantage.
On the other side, Trode looked at the situation on the British side, but he still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, although Andre and his team returned safely in the predicament, and still retained a considerable degree of combat effectiveness, but correspondingly, the combat effectiveness of the British side was not too badly lost, and in the positional battle with them, it would definitely have the upper hand.
Not only that, but under such a series of attacks, Trode and they have not yet received news of the German unit they need cover, which is a very disturbing situation. Because if the German unit had only withdrawn from the front line alone, it would have been better to say, if they had been chased by the enemy, then they would not have won this battle in any case.
Trode glanced down at his watch, it was already noon, because the battle was very fierce, and the weather was quite hot, so the consumption of physical strength was also quite large. However, for Trode now, he no longer feels hungry.
However, just because Trode doesn't feel hungry doesn't mean everyone isn't hungry. In fact, the opposite is true, most of the people's stomachs are already empty, although the British army has not yet attacked, and they can nibble on some dry food and canned food, but it must not be comfortable to eat.
It's just that, compared to the current German army, the British army's experience is naturally more miserable, a morning of marching, although the infantry are also sitting in trucks, but at this time they do not have the same free time as the German army to eat, seize all the time to capture this bridgehead, is their only task now.
"Look! Here they are again! ”
At the front of the German position, a soldier munched on salty canned meat and said to his comrades on the side.
"Aren't these Brits really tired? I feel like I'm going to heat stroke......"
The other soldier looked up at the sky, his eyes at this time could only be described as scorching, and it was really quite torturous for them who had no shelter now. For this reason, some people don't even wear life-saving helmets, because wearing that thing is estimated to be baked by the heat generated by the heat wave before the head is shot by the enemy's bullet.
Those soldiers who use rifles such as Kar98K are better, while soldiers who use metal weapons such as MP40 and MG-42 have their weapons heated to the point of being quite hot by the daylight, and each time they are fired, the barrel is even hotter. In this way, especially the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, which has an ultra-high rate of fire, naturally cannot guarantee its accuracy when firing continuously. Therefore, the frequency of replacing the barrel is also much higher than usual.
However, in this situation where the sun is exposed to the sun and there is no wind at all, it is still difficult to let the replaced barrel cool down naturally......
However, the MG-42 of the infantry still needs to be replaced, and the barrel of the MG-34 used by Trood cannot be replaced at all, and it is connected to the rest of the tank, and the heat of the whole vehicle is also transmitted to the barrel, which makes its condition even worse.
Although Trood did not give the order directly, all the crews realized that if the on-board machine gun was used as usual in this case, it would definitely cause it to be overwhelmed and malfunction. Compared with direct scrapping, it is better to pay a little attention to the use method and appropriately reduce the density of the fire network. After all, this is the only way to fight a protracted war.
Of course, this kind of talk is mostly for members like Roy who can skillfully control the on-board machine gun, like Nattell, who only knows how to use burst fire, and a burst is a bullet chain, really can't expect the equipment to live long in his hands......
Although the British army had begun a new offensive, most of the German troops were ready, but they were still eating quickly, after all, this was a rare advantage over the British. And even if they are destined to die on the battlefield today, they don't want to go hungry......
Not only that, but in order to taunt the British on the other side, the infantry even came even more desperately - they even lit a cooking fire when the war was about to begin.
Although this will indeed make the people around them feel more intense, but compared to the British people on the other side at this time, the feeling when they saw this scene, the torture on their bodies is really too small.
Seeing this scene, Trode reminded him of the Crusades, Aladdin's troops, besieged the enemy in a basin, under this natural terrain advantage, he did not order the troops to attack directly, but ordered his subordinates, in front of the enemy who had been out of water for a long time, poured a vat of water into the sand, and at that moment, the fighting spirit of the crusaders was broken.
Although at this moment, what they are doing is far less powerful than Aladdin's original, but it is enough to hit each other.
After all, no matter what time it is, it is 'attacking the heart and attacking the city'......
