Chapter 190: Machine Gun Position

"Landauman, the patrol in charge of the Germans near the embankment!" Parks lay quietly on the bank and said to Landowman, "Hear our gunfire and attack at the same time." It was our retreat to occupy this place, and then turn our guns and hold back the Germans who were coming in from the river crossing, and not let them break through this position. If the German patrols turn back, you are responsible for annihilating them. ”

After passing through a field of vegetables and meadows with the first and second platoons, Parks made their way along the embankment, where they waited quietly for the German patrol to pass by, and then advanced again, having reached the vicinity of the embankment of the German artillery position. Everyone lay silently, waiting for the final order. Landauman nodded, his tongue sticking out and licking his chapped lips before gesturing at the GIs in his squad. Climbed up the embankment, where there was a machine-gun emplacement set up by the Germans at the intersection of the embankment and the position. There was an MG42 heavy machine gun.

"The rest of the men follow me, Luz and Sergeant Taybert are in constant contact, maybe we need reserves. Harry, take the brothers, let's act! After Parks finished speaking, he gave a decisive order, and the team quickly approached the German position along the ditch of the embankment.

Landaumann pursed his lips as he watched Parks lead his team towards the German artillery position, and then turned his attention to the top of the embankment, on which the German figure walked around. Occasionally, there was a flash of fire, and a German struck a match and lit a cigarette, and in the bright light, you could see their smiles and relaxed expressions.

The Germans did not expect that the Americans would take the initiative to attack them, and they have always tried each other, but large-scale attacks rarely occur, let alone such sneak attacks. Neither side wants to break such a situation. Even the top of the Germans and Americans wanted to expel each other from this "island".

"The first one on the right," Landowman began to assign tasks, explaining to his brothers in the squad one by one, and then seizing the machine-gun position in one fell swoop, leaving a way for Company E to retreat.

"Second on the right!"

…… Everyone in the class was breathing a little hard, and before the battle began, their hearts were very nervous, even as Parks went out on a combat mission, everyone instinctively became nervous. This tension made their breathing a little heavy.

"Big Niu, I think, the boss should be about to do it now!" Malachi climbed up to Landauman's side and looked in the direction in which Parks had disappeared.

"It should be soon. Marachi, you are responsible for the fourth on the left. Landowan said to him, and then he pulled a piece of gum out of his pocket, shoved it into his mouth, and began to chew it non-stop, obviously he was also a little nervous and wanted to relax in this way.

"Okay, no problem!" Malaki nodded, then raised his rifle and began to aim.

"Gordon, machine guns are ready to cover fire, don't let the Germans have a loophole."

Gordon whispered, "Okay, squad leader!" ”

Everyone was aiming, they waited quietly for the gunfire over there, such a sneak attack, Lan Daoman and they were already familiar with it. In Arnhem, this was the time when Parks took out the German oil depot guards and ammunition depot guards, and it was easy to get a miraculous effect by surprise.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. The silence of the gunfire was immediately broken, which should have been accustomed to the people of the "island" who had been under fire all day, but after a single shot, there was a heavy gunfire. But it is clear that this is not good news for the Germans. Because the place where the gunfire came from was the artillery position of the Germans, located in the Yellow 1st Zone in the area marked by the Allies. Moreover, the sound of gunfire made the Germans on the embankment obviously stunned, and they all paused involuntarily.

"Fire!" Landowan gave the order decisively.

Everyone in the second squad of "Bang Bang Bang" opened fire, and more than a dozen Germans were instantly knocked to the ground, and the German in the machine gun position, as soon as he raised his head, was shot in the head, and blood sprayed all over the ground. But a few more Germans immediately ran towards the machine-gun position, but were quickly hit by Gordon's machine gun and fell to the ground.

With an unusually clean blow, which wiped out all a dozen Germans on the embankment, Landamann grabbed his rifle, got up, pulled out the gum from his mouth, stuck it to the turf, and shouted: "Guys, follow me." As he spoke, he ran towards the position of the embankment, followed closely by his brothers in the class.

The machine gun position changed hands quickly, and they quickly mobilized the muzzle of the machine gun, and Gordon was on the other side of the GM42 machine gun, setting up the machine gun, and they were now going to hold the position. The brothers quickly lay down on the embankment.

The German patrol of six people turned around when they heard the gunshots. They returned from the ditch of the embankment, and they knew that the machine-gun positions of the embankment might be finished.

The six figures quickly approached the machine-gun position of the embankment, and covered each other, constantly advancing.

"The Germans are coming, Malachi, with their brothers responsible for annihilating them!" Landaman said to Marachi, "Don't let them kill us in the same way!" ”

"Don't worry, look at me!" Maraki smiled, the four of them quickly descended from the embankment, lurking near the ditch, all they had to do was to quietly wait for the German patrol to attack the machine gun position on the embankment, expose their target, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Six Germans lurked there waiting for the opportunity, in fact, their reality was not as good as when Landowmann attacked the German position, because Landowmann was a surprise attack, and the Germans were caught off guard and were annihilated in one fell swoop, but now Landowmann They have been prepared, they are always staring at the Germans, which makes the German patrol a little confused.

The fierce gunfire and explosions from the artillery positions gave the lurking German patrol a strong sense of unease, which made them think that it was definitely not a very good idea to be lurking here.

"Gotta figure figure out of it!" Malachi looked in Landauman's direction, feeling a little anxious. But although the form is more critical, these Germans seem to have a good surname, which makes Malaqi's surname wear off little by little. You can't waste your time here, and if the Germans rush in to reinforce you, it will be very difficult to take on the sniper mission yourself.

Just when Malach was a little anxious, a figure suddenly shook on the embankment, and it was obvious that this was an opportunity for the Germans, and they suddenly raised their guns and opened fire on the figure.

"Bang bang bang!" At the sound of gunfire, the figure fell to the ground without saying a word.

But the Germans opened fire revealing their position, and Malach immediately shouted: "Shoot back, now!" He said the first shot, hitting a German. Then the brothers around him shot one after another, knocking out four Germans, and then two more Germans groaned, and it was clear that they were wounded.

Then one of the Germans stood up, raised the white flag, and they surrendered! Malachi approached them cautiously, and then looked at one of the Germans who had been hit in the stomach, but did not die immediately, was moaning and convulsing on the ground. The guy who raised the white flag was unscathed, but he wisely chose to surrender.

Maraki took the captive back to the machine-gun position and shouted to Landowman: "Big Niu, is anyone hurt?" "It was clear that they saw someone being hit by the Germans.

"No, it's a little trick of ours!" Da Niu smiled, and then held up a piece of clothing that had been riddled with bullets, "This is one of my raincoats, I didn't expect to be shot through by the Germans, it seems that I have to change to a new one." ”

Malaki was about to tease when he suddenly saw a figure approaching rapidly from the direction of the ferry on the Germans' side. It was clear that reinforcements from the Germans were coming.

"Da Da Da!" The MG42 machine gun was fired in his hand, and it was Boyle who made this machine gun, and he had been recuperating in England since he was wounded in Normandy, but it was clear that he did not want to stay too long, because if he exceeded a certain time, he would be sent to another company, which he could not accept, he could not fight the Germans in another stranger's company, it would be terrible to think about. So he returned early. His friend Sisk, on the other hand, was seriously injured and is still recovering.

Gordon's machine guns also opened fire at this time, and the two machine guns formed a crossfire.

The Germans in front were caught off guard and were swept to the ground by machine guns, and the other Germans immediately lay down, they were hit head-on, and it immediately became clear that the machine gun positions on this embankment had been controlled by the Americans. And the few unlucky guys in front of them obviously didn't understand the situation and gave their lives in vain.

Then the Germans began to fire at the machine-gun positions on the embankment, but because of the machine-gun suppression, they never organized any effective attacks, but lost a lot of manpower. This made them dare not act rashly again. Their artillery positions are under attack, there is no way to provide artillery support, and the mortars they carry with them do not have enough range and can only be beaten!

"Well done!" Landauman gave Boyle a thumbs up.

"The German's MG42 is really good, it's strong!" Boyle smiled hesitantly, watching the Germans suppressed by their own machine guns and unable to get out, Boyle felt a pleasure in his heart. And the MG42 of the Germans is indeed a very useful machine gun, and the bullets can be fired endlessly like a storm.

I remembered that I had struggled under such a machine gun. Boyle couldn't help but feel relieved, and tilted the bullets at the Germans with joy, because there were so many bullets on the ground anyway.

"Boss, they don't know what's going on?" The gunfire over there didn't stop, it kept ringing out, and then there was the sound of explosions. Malaki couldn't help but look over there with some concern.

"I never worried about that!" "It's no better than the Germans at Arnhem Bridge, we've killed a lot of Germans." ”

Malaki looked over there, then nodded, "I think, too." There is nothing to worry about. We just need to concentrate on guarding the retreat path explained by the leader. ”

In this machine-gun position on the embankment, the Germans were constantly suppressed, and there was no longer a decent counterattack.
