"Boom !!" Suddenly, a bright fire burst out in the darkness of the night, and a heat wave mixed with intense heat spread from the center of the fire point to all sides, burning everything within the power range. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The loud roar spread far away in the silence of the night, and the locals in the nearby city of Empoli who had not left their homes all shrunk their heads tightly and hid under their beds, trembling and praying for the protection of the gods.

"Mines!" The heart-rending roar brought the entire long convoy to a halt. Looking at the car not far ahead, which was shrouded in flames, the German officers and soldiers who followed the vehicle got out of the car and came to the side of the road to stand guard. In the darkness of the night, there seemed to be countless eyes watching them.

"What's going on?!" The reconnaissance battalion of the German 219th Infantry Division strode to the front and asked sharply.

"Sir, the lead car has been crushed with a mine." After hearing the answer of his subordinates, the German major, who was blushing, raised his hand to look at the time, turned around and ordered loudly, "Let the sappers come over!" ”

"Sir, the Engineer Battalion didn't come with us to Florence." The voice of his subordinates made the German major's face stiffen slightly. Only then did he remember that when he rescued Florence before, the 219th Infantry Division stationed in the Pisa area was not fully dispatched. Units such as the engineer battalion, the air defense battalion, and so on were left to serve as garrisons. After all, they can't all go out and leave, thus creating a void in defense.

"Detour!" After a moment of silence, the German major gave a deep order: "The convoy leaves the road and passes through the field." Once you reach Empoli, hit the road. Without sappers, he was not willing to take a huge risk to continue on this path. After all, no one is going to plant just one mine.

Soon, dozens of vehicles of all kinds left the road and drove into the fields on both sides, struggling to advance in the fields. Fortunately, it is very close to Empoli City, but the distance of a few hundred meters is still barely affordable for vehicles such as trucks with poor off-road ability. In addition, there are fields in the vicinity, and the development is relatively good, and slow-moving vehicles can still pass.

"Boom, boom, boom!!" Not long after returning to his car, the German major suddenly heard several more violent explosions, and a bright fire rose into the air, stimulating his eyes to turn red!

"Why are there mines in the field?!"

"What a bunch of idiots." Looking at the panicked German convoy in the distance, Zhang Da, who was wearing a camouflage suit, spat with disdain, put away the binoculars, turned his head to look at his subordinates behind him, and ordered softly, "Prepare to attack." ”

The Call of Duty force led by Zhang Da operated in the Allied-controlled area for many days, constantly attacking important targets everywhere, bringing huge losses to the Allied forces. Although the Allies have always mobilized troops to encircle and suppress them, this extremely elite force has always been very active. In addition to having a strong intelligence system to provide support, and being strong in its own right. Another important reason is that they are equipped with a large number of new weapons. Including some experimental weapons and equipment that are not equipped in large quantities with troops.

How could Zhang Cheng, who was born in modern time and space, forget the powerful helicopter? Zhang Cheng's research on the helicopter project had been going on for a long time long before the war began. Although limited with the level of technology, scientific and technological research and development and so on. More importantly, due to the limitations of this era, various countries are basically equipped with small-caliber air defense weapons in large quantities. Widespread weapons, ranging from heavy machine guns to small-caliber machine guns, are a great lethal threat to helicopters without bulletproof armor. Therefore, helicopters were not widely used by Zhang Cheng in warfare.

However, the role of helicopters is still there. They can move quickly on the battlefield and have very powerful practical functions in search and rescue personnel, transporting the wounded, transporting supplies and soldiers, etc. Zhang Da's Call of Duty Force is equipped with this new equipment on a large scale.

Call of Duty forces can conduct large-scale maneuver operations at night by helicopter, and are supported by supplies and transports. This is a strong guarantee for their ability to operate behind enemy lines and survive. This time, after receiving the order to block the Allied forces from Florence to Pisa, Zhang Da quickly took his troops to the predetermined area by helicopter to set up an ambush.

'Knock Knock~~~'

'Zizizi~~~'

Mortars, heavy machine guns, and recoilless guns from the Call of Duty Force suddenly opened fire from the dense forest next to the road. The powerful firepower tore long chains and dazzling flares of light in the night sky, and then disappeared into the dense German convoy.

"Enemy Attack !!" The German reconnaissance battalion, which was still scratching its head for mines, was immediately plunged into a bloody storm. A large number of officers and soldiers were knocked down in pools of blood, and many vehicles were blown to pieces by precise artillery fire, and the entire German convoy was in chaos.

In just a few minutes, the Call of Duty force, which had emptied the bullet chain and base shells, quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest. At this time, the German army, which had just recovered from the fierce attack, hastily organized a counterattack. And by the time their guns entered the dense forest, the Ming army had long since lost sight of where they were going.

"Get in! Pursuit! The distraught German major immediately ordered one of his companies to rush into the dense forest. But not long after the company's troops disappeared into the dense forest, the sound of explosions and gunfire was soon heard, and the German major's heart was cold as he looked at the depths of the dense forest where the flames and tracer bullet chains were constantly rising.

A few minutes later, dozens of German officers and soldiers fled in disarray, and the short exchange of fire came to an end.

Look at the dark jungle in the distance, and look at the dead and wounded subordinates. I heard the painful moans of the wounded. In a fit of rage, the German major slammed his fist on the car door next to him, making a muffled sound. This brief exchange of fire lasted less than ten minutes, but he lost more than 200 men and more than 20 vehicles. The troops, which had already been battered in the previous Florentine garrison, were now no longer capable of continuing the fight. The major who had no choice but to report the battle situation to his superiors.

The 219th Infantry Division, which was strictly ordered by Rommel to rush back to Florence as soon as possible, had no other things to do at this time, and directly ordered the convoy to drive all the way down the road and rush into the city of Empoli through the field. However, the constant explosion of mines on the road of only a few hundred meters depleted the morale of the remnants of the entire 219th Infantry Division. Hundreds of people were killed or injured just by stepping on landmines along the way.

"You say, if the Germans knew that we had only a few mines planted on the road, and that most of the mines were deployed on both sides of the road, would they have been?" Inside Empoli, the Call of Duty forces that quickly detoured to the city have entered various positions. Zhang Da, who was holding a telescope near the window on the second floor of a sturdy house and watching a landmine demonstration at the entrance of the town, smiled and asked his subordinates.

"It shouldn't be so badly angry." The subordinate on the side with oil paint on his face shook his head with a smile: "But I should be angry and vomit blood, right?" ”

"Hey, hey." Zhang Da, who was smiling, put down his binoculars, looked at the German troops who were struggling to kill Empoli in the distance, and pouted disdainfully, "Lao Tzu is going to bleed them this time!" Command the troops, prepare for battle. ”

Theoretically, Call of Duty forces with a total strength of less than 1,000 troops should not be up against large regular or armored forces, because no matter how elite they are, they are only light infantry.

But tonight's situation is a bit special. Because the task was so important, in any case it was necessary to drag this German army for several hours. The second is that it is now a night battle, and it is difficult to exert the power of large-scale clusters. Then there is the fact that the German troops on the opposite side are only a second-rate unit, and they are not complete, and important artillery units and so on do not follow. In addition, they had already suffered heavy casualties in the fierce battle of Florence during the day, and both their strength and morale had dropped significantly. Zhang Da is very confident in completing the task.

The German officers and soldiers, who had managed to get rid of the minefield, had just entered the city of Empoli. Physically and mentally exhausted, they were knocked to the ground by a rain of bullets from all directions before they could take a break. The Germans were all vehicles in which they rode and were a live target for driving on the roads of Empoli. The Call of Duty forces hiding in the buildings were not polite at all, and all of them began to fire intensively with ferocious firepower.

Unlike most army officers and soldiers who are still using semi-automatic rifles, the Call of Duty, which is an absolute elite, has been fully equipped with automatic firepower early. These submachine guns, with thick drums, are particularly finely crafted, both in terms of quality and accuracy. In the hands of these extremely elite Ming troops, it is really powerful.

In addition, the Call of Duty force is heavily equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars, and recoilless guns. The ferocious and unusually accurate firepower dealt a huge blow to the Germans in the first place.

Many elite officers and men were able to accurately put a grenade into a German truck, destroying at least an entire squad with a single explosion. The Germans, who had been attacked suddenly, suffered hundreds of casualties in just a few minutes, and had to flee out of the city in disarray.

"Stop firing, and the troops readjust their deployment." After seeing the Germans fleeing in disarray, Zhang Da nodded with satisfaction, "Our task is not to destroy them, just drag them for a few hours." After dawn, the main force will naturally come and deal with them. ”

Looking at the city of Empoli, which was gradually dimming and falling silent in the distance, Major General Schurrle, the commander of the German 219th Infantry Division, raised his hand to look at the time with an iron face. He had already received a notice from Rommel that the spies in Rome had reported that the army's huge fleet had begun to take off! He has run out of time!

Taking a deep breath, Schurrle gritted his teeth hard, "Attack!" (To be continued.) )
