Chapter 70: Imperial Elite
Curled sideways at the rear of the carriage, Lynn was flanked to the left by the black soldier who had been knocked unconscious by himself, and on the right was the white soldier who had been shot and killed earlier, and the two burly and muscular bodies were used as human cover. The lone gunshot just now did not attract a dense rain of bullets from the attacking side, and the American soldier under the truck behind him, who unfortunately had his hand bone shattered by a 7.62mm bullet, did not seem to realize that the bullet came from another truck of his peers.
The difference in battlefield experience is not in the appearance, equipment, or temperament, but once you enter the real combat state, it will be vividly reflected - Lynn has a deeper and deeper feeling about this. Judging by the sound effect, the MG-42 has switched from lateral strafing to point-and-shoot shorts, and the frequency of the MP44 has increased significantly, which means that the attacking commandos are rapidly approaching the convoy that was forced to stop on the road. At this time, some of the trucks in the convoy were still not turned off, and the engine gurgling could be heard, but none of the vehicles tried to turn and flee. Obviously, the driver in the cab was the first target of the attacker's first attack, and this lightning attack in the dark environment also had a very significant effect!
Smack... Smack... Two crisp gunshots sounded very close, and Lynn moved a little in the direction of the front of the car to avoid being injured by stray bullets because he was too close to the rear gate, he held the M1 rifle in his left hand and the "Colt" in his right hand, and when he could make out the footsteps in his ears, he shouted softly in German: "Vampires are invincible!" β
In the absence of a special code command, this is the usual code used by the "vampire" commandos to confirm their identities on the battlefield, and they often use such slogans to cheer each other up during their usual training and small talk. As a member of this elite special operations force, Lynn has engraved these words deeply in her mind from the beginning, and will never mispronounce the syllables because of nervousness or rustiness.
An answer soon came from outside: "Is it Chief Gargo?" β
Lynn couldn't make out whose voice it was for a while, and he calmly considered the situation holistically: "It's me, watch out for the American soldiers under the truck!" β
Nearby, there was a "snap" sound one after another, and after clearing the obstacles under the car, the carriage baffle shook with a "bang", and a head with a steel helmet with no ear protection probed up coldly, the light was dim, Lynn didn't recognize this person, and he asked in pure German: "Captain Gargo?" β
"It's me!"
Lynn hurriedly waved at him, signaling that there was no danger in the car. With one hand and great agility, the commando rolled over and entered the carriage, crouched down in front of him and asked with concern, "How are you, Sir. Gargo?" Are there any injuries on the body? β
"I'm fine, everything is fine!" Lynn replied.
Needless to investigate, the commandos shouted outward, "AZ-32 reports, Commander Gargo has been found, safe and sound!" β
Although there was no radio communication with individual soldiers, and there was no black and green camouflage painted on his face, every word of this calm and neat report was like precious spring rain, falling on Lynn's dry and cracked heart.
Immediately afterward, a sonorous German voice came from outside: "The 4th squad is covering the evacuation of Commander Gargo!" β
Alone in a foreign land, although well fed, well dressed, and with an electric fan to blow when she slept at night, Lynn still misses the warmth of taking care of each other with her brothers on the battlefield, even if it is only a cup of scraps and a piece of broken bread, it is more delicious than the most sumptuous meal in the world.
Lynn, who was full of emotion, did not get carried away, and with extremely calm thinking, he shouted outside: "I am Lynn. Gargo, I'm in good physical condition, you don't have to cover me and annihilate the American resisters with all your might! β
The man who had just given the order didn't hesitate much, and after a few seconds, he changed the order: "Take back the order, Squad 4 will fight as originally planned!" β
Brothers, well-behaved, the elite should have such a decision!
Lynn shouted in his heart with pride, and he immediately turned to the commando who had just come in: "How many people have come to this battle?" What are the top priorities? β
The commando, who looked young and had a familiar voice and face, replied without hesitation: "Half of the commandos have arrived in the Americas, and the first task of this operation is to rescue you, sir, fifty people are here to attack, thirty people are on the periphery, and the rest of the personnel have other tasks. β
Eighty men is only the size of a reinforced platoon, which is a little shabby compared to the guards at the Los Amos nuclear test base, which consists of two battalions of infantry and more than 20 anti-aircraft artillery companies, but this is still beyond Lynn's expectations. Not only because the elite fighters of the "Vampire" commando are strictly selected and trained from front-line troops, but more importantly, because this place is not a European territory, but a dignified United States of America, and it is not difficult for a group of intelligence personnel to get in, and it is by no means ordinary to transport these fighters and their combat equipment in their entirety. What surprised him even more was that this battle actually took rescuing himself as the first task, which shows that the planner of the operation knows his meaning very well!
Now Lynn is no longer the berserker who was enthusiastic when he heard the gunshot, he calmly sorted out his thoughts, and then asked in order of importance, "How did you know that I was in this convoy?" Who is the commander of this operation? What is the second task? β
Fighting in the desert next door in the southern United States in the summer, the commando was no longer wearing pea camouflage, but it was not the standard uniform of the American army, but a tropical combat suit similar to that of the German Afrika Korps, with a pair of gray-framed windbreakers hanging around his neck. Although he could not see the rank, the commando behaved in a very old manner, and he replied without haste: "We don't know which convoy you are in, and if we don't find you this time, we may attack the convoy behind us." The general commander of the operation was Lorenz. General Bach, who directly commanded the battle was Karenny. Major Blaze. The second task we got was to eliminate the convoy convoy, take the older survivors away for interrogation, and destroy the materials that could not be taken on the spot! β
With his own experience and judgment, Lynn suddenly felt that the arrangement of this operation was hasty but not chaotic, especially the idea of taking the older personnel away was very good, in the atomic bomb test base, the vast majority of the top physicists and senior technicians were middle-aged and elderly, and the long-term theoretical research and experiments also made their whole person look dull. Given that even if the special operations force can bring one or two physicists loyal to the empire, there will not be so much time to identify the important surnames of the data during the battle, and it should be more sensible to destroy them.
As for the battle commander Karenni. Bratz, who is also an old friend of Lynn's. When Lynn left the "Vampire" Assault Staff and transferred to Eric Squad under the 3rd Commando Detachment, Karenney. Bratz was the commander of the 3rd Commando Detachment (see Chapter 97 of Volume 1 for details). It is not surprising that he received the rank of captain of the SS at the age of 27, but Lorenz . Bach's "Vampire" commando team is so elite that Bratz's qualifications and abilities can be seen as the commander of such a unit and the command of more than 200 powerful night commandos.
After a while, the gunfire around him faded, and since he was seen as the first target of the operationβand should have been Bach's hand-picked Mr. Key, Lynn naturally could not live up to this high hope, and he said to the commandos beside him: "Take me to Major Braze!" Right now! β
Although he did not have a direct affiliation, the commando obviously knew that the "No. 1 target" was the combat ace on his side, and he did not procrastinate to ask his squad commander for instructions, but bravely leaned out to observe the environment and make sure that there was no threat in the vicinity, that is, he jumped out of the car with agility and squatted to implement on-site alert with the infrared night vision device equipped on the MP44 assault rifle.
Lynn liked this simple and clear way of acting, although there was likely to be a fierce battle ahead, and considering that the scene was firmly in the hands of his own commando, he decisively dropped his M1 rifle and rolled over and got out of the car with a Colt pistol in one hand. After more than a month of leaving normal training, the flexibility and flexibility of the body have indeed decreased, but it has not been reduced to the point of being slow and clumsy. After landing, he looked left and right vigilantly, there were not many American soldiers accompanying the convoy escort, and the vigilance and combat effectiveness were poor, and the work had been almost cleaned up in the past few minutes, thinking that the commandos were searching for technical experts according to the principle of "the elderly first". But Lynn knew that the most important physicists like Oppenheimer, Fermi, Ball, and Feynman were not in the convoy, not because they chose to fly, but because it was inconvenient for their families to ride in ordinary trucks. The base has prepared cars and buses for these important people, some of whom have already left in advance, but many are still staying at the base to pack up their belongings. It is said that the plan of the base is to use three nights before and after to move all the technicians, and within a week the data and equipment will be empty, and the test base, which played a crucial role in the creation of the atomic bomb, will be turned into an empty nest.
After judging that there was no danger around, Lynn patted the commando's arm with his left hand, and there was no need for verbal communication, the experienced commando understood, he bowed his back, bent over, and ran in small steps half-sideways, his torso above the waist turned smoothly and quickly, and his eyes and muzzle were fanned at the same time. Lynn, who did not have a helmet, followed closely behind, the muzzle of the pistol was slightly lowered, and almost every cell in the brain and body was in a state of excitation, as long as he heard the sound of the gun or sensed other danger, he could respond as quickly as possible and in the most effective way.
About two hundred meters of gravel, the distance was as Lynn had judged before, and passed through it without incident. The machine-gun positions of the commandos were built on slightly raised sand dunes, and there were a total of four MG42s, two mounted on mounts and equipped with infrared night vision devices for infantry, and two using the most common bipod supports, without secondary sights or night vision goggles. With Lynn's return, the German machine gunners, dressed similarly to the American soldiers, did not take their eyes off the guns, except for the bearded Karenny. Bratz enthusiastically opened his arms.
"Welcome back, our hero!"
