The sun in the sky had set in the west, and Jack had been on German soil for twelve hours.

He didn't even see half of the German soldiers.

His troops had advanced about twenty kilometers inland from the port where they had originally landed, and no German troops had been found.

The fact that the German troops were not found was demoralized by Jack's soldiers, who seemed to think that the Germans, fearing the British edge, had fled. Jack always felt that this was not the case, and from the time of the landing a certain uneasiness haunted him, and he felt that the Germans were planning something bad, and that they were hiding in the shadows, and that they might rush out at any moment.

But Jack didn't say that, and he even tried not to let his worries show on his face as much as possible.

When Jack's company entered a small German town, an order came from Captain Anderson that they would build a defense in place and prepare to spend the night.

After learning the news, Jack breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the Germans were planning, he could save it until tomorrow.

After relaxing, Jack began to look at the town in front of him. The village looked no different from the English town he was familiar with, and he had expected the German village to be full of mechanical and scientific maniacs, and full of NERV red slogans, which Jack had seen in his hometown, red and visually striking, but he didn't really like them.

But this town does not have these things, but is full of idyllic atmosphere, and it can be seen that the people of the town are very rich, and every building is a solid masonry structure, and the doors and windows are exquisite and beautiful, and there are screens, which is not a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy in England.

Suddenly, in the attic of the two-story building in front of Jack, a window opened, and a woman poked her head out and shouted to Jack in standard British English: "RUN!" ”

As soon as the woman shouted this, she disappeared from the window, and an old lady showed her head, glanced at the British soldiers, and then cursed in German, and then slammed the window shut.

"Hey," Jack heard a soldier say, "that's an English, we should go and save her." ”

"Don't make a fuss," Jack shook his head, "it was normal for England and Germany to intermarry before the last war, after all, our Queen of England also has the blood of the Elector of Hanover. ”

"Wow, Elector of Hanover." The soldier who spoke looked at Jack and grinned, but his voice was noticeably different from when he had laughed at Jack behind his back, and it was clear that the experience of rushing to the beach together had changed the soldiers' attitude towards Jack, "What's that?" ”

"The nobility of Germany," Jack pushed his glasses, "the throne of England was vacant, and the nobles, in order to get rid of other people who were plotting against the throne of England, invited the Elector of Hanover to England to be emperor, and thus began the reign of the Hanoverian dynasty." ”

"Oh, that's right." The toothless man nodded, "So there is a precedent for this, so why didn't Her Majesty the Queen directly invite that German Lin Youde to London?" ”

Jack looked at the guy suspiciously: "What did you say?" ”

"Oh my God, everyone knows that this damn war was started by Her Majesty the Queen in order to snatch that German, and she wants to snatch that Lin Youde from the hands of the German President Cutie."

Jack looked embarrassed, he didn't know how these guys were going to get the truth out of this. But he felt obligated to correct the erroneous statement: "Listen, first of all, Lin Youde is a Chinese. ”

"Really?" Big Tooth looked shocked.

"Secondly, Her Majesty the Queen is not here to rob ......"

At this time, a voice from behind him interrupted Jack's words: "Is there anything unusual, Lieutenant. ”

"No," Jack turned to see Captain Anderson leading a group of followers down the dirt road toward him, "I didn't find anything unusual in the town, at least not in the parts we've already explored." But all the residents closed their doors and windows and did not greet us. ”

"Someone told us to run." Big Tooth interjected.

Captain Anderson glanced at him unhappily, but without reproach, he walked forward to the front of the line, standing beside the fork in the road and looking at the square in front of him.

"Well, very well," he said, turning and pointing to the chapel in front of him, "we are going to use the church as a company command post and a core defensive position, the Germans did not resist by the sea probably because they did not know where we were going to attack, so they concentrated their forces in the rear, if so, then the counterattack should come soon, and we must hold back the ...... before the war-girls rushed to support"

The captain's body suddenly twisted and fell to the ground, just as the sound of gunfire entered everyone's ears.

Jack was startled, completely stunned in place, but Tom, who still has actual combat experience, reacted the fastest: "Enemy! Hide! ”

As soon as Tom finished shouting, the British soldiers, who had just been stupidly pestle, fell to the ground with their pestles.

"Don't lie on the road!" Tom continued waving his hands and yelling, "Get cover!" Find cover! It's useless on the road, the machine gun sweeps over, you should be unlucky or unlucky! ”

Before he could finish speaking, bullets pierced his skull.

Then the sound of gunfire was heard in the wind.

"it." Jack cursed, crawling behind a nearby wall and hiding.

At this time, Captain Anderson, who fell in the middle of the road, shouted in a difficult voice: "It's a sniper, the Germans did it in the last war." ”

Captain Anderson fought in the final stages of the last war.

Not far away, another lieutenant shouted to the captain, "Hold on to the captain, we're here to save you!" ”

"Don't come here! He deliberately didn't kill me just to make you ......"

By this time, the medic had already rushed out of cover and came to the captain's side.

Then the medic was directly knocked down with a single shot.

The captain continued to give orders: "He must be on the bell tower, where the shooting range is the best, you must outflank him!" Outflank him from the path! Jack, take your platoon, quick! ”

Jack nodded, shouted "follow me", and turned to the road that stretched horizontally from the fork, and he slipped and fell as soon as he ran out of cover, saving his life.

"The Heavy shoots that bell tower!" The captain continued to give instructions, "Don't care if you can't see the target, shoot!" Everyone else is scattered, the enemy has defenses in the town, and we are going to destroy them! ”

At the same time as the machine gun rang out, Jack got up, brandished his pistol and led his troops into the lateral road, and he had just run a few steps ahead when the sound of automatic weapon fire rang out.

Jack reacted quickly this time and immediately fell to the cover next to him, but the big fangs that followed him were directly hit.

"Machine gun!" Jack shouted, and at this point he saw the other two slow-moving soldiers being knocked directly to the ground.

But at this time, the German shooting stopped, and Jack hesitated for a second before poking his head out, and saw a German soldier running out of the house with a strange-looking gun with a magazine, and disappeared behind the low wall.

He remembered that before he set out, a colonel who had fought alongside the Germans in Turkey had given them a lesson and had mentioned the common use of automatic weapons by the Germans, which consumed a lot of ammunition and were extremely ineffective.

The colonel said, "Accurate shooting is the most effective way to destroy the enemy on the battlefield, and nothing compares to our Lee Enfield rifle." ”

"Fuck." Jack cursed.

Then the German lurked in the house alone, and after a shuttle, he put down three people and ran away, where did Lee Enfield have such efficiency.

Feeling a wave of anger in his heart, Jack shouted to the soldiers, "Fight in formation!" Advance under cover! Beware of the Germans! ”

Although Jack's series of orders were issued in a similar manner, most of his troops had only been trained for six weeks, and the execution of these orders could only be described as clumsy.

Just as Jack's men were advancing at the speed of a turtle, the Germans showed up again.

One German soldier bared his head and fired at Jack's platoon, while another German soldier rushed out from one side of the street and rushed across the street and into the courtyard on the other side.

The next moment the German soldier began to shoot, and a third German appeared, and his figure only appeared for a moment before disappearing, apparently because he had climbed over a low wall.

More automatic weapon fire was heard, and the gunfire rang out.

Suddenly, far behind Jack and the others, there was a sound like a canvas tearing—but Jack immediately recognized that it was gunshot, a dense gunshot.

He looked back and saw tongues of fire spewing from the windows of a building at the end of the field of vision, the muzzle of the gun looking as bright as an electric lamp.

Jack stared at the glittering window, but then an exclamation came from beside him: "The Germans are approaching!" ”

Jack turned his head sharply and saw a German on the side of the road, half-kneeling against the wall, shooting calmly with the automatic weapon in his hand.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two steel helmets moving behind the low wall on the left-hand side, and soon disappeared behind the canopy that peeked out of the low wall.

He looked further to the front, and the German who shot was gone.

It dawned on him that there might be only four or five Germans attacking his platoon.

Just then a smoking object climbed over the low wall and landed at his feet.

"Grenades!" Jack exclaimed, his body already moving, he picked up the grenade and threw it over the side of the wall, and the explosion occurred almost immediately, but the wall blocked the shock wave and shrapnel.

Jack didn't know if he had killed the Germans who had dropped the bombs, but the explosions on the other side of the road and the screams of the Britons seemed to indicate that the Germans had succeeded on the other side.

Immediately after that, there was the sound of automatic weapon firing and English swearing from the other side.

"There are only four or five enemies!" Jack shouted to the soldiers hiding not far behind him, "We have the advantage of strength!" Outflank them, throw grenades, blow them up! Fast! ”

At this time, a car rushed into the street, and the machine gun mounted on the car began to make a sound like tearing canvas, and the bullets rained down like a storm, knocking down several British soldiers who had received Jack's orders and were preparing to move.

Jack craned his neck and tried to shrink his body into a ball, for fear that the bullet would hit him. When the machine-gun fire stopped, he poked his head out and saw three German soldiers climbing into the back seat of the jeep while the man with the machine gun was changing the magazine.

The jeep started, made a rough turn, kicked up a large cloud of smoke, and then disappeared on the other side of the street.

As if an appointment had been made, the gunfire on the other end also disappeared.

Jack waited a while before he was sure that the Germans had retreated.

He stood up and looked back at the street, where many corpses were lying.

He then moved from the small door in front to the back of the low wall.

A German soldier lies on the ground with blood on his uniform.

After staring at the Germans for a few seconds, Jack ordered in a gloomy tone, "Count our casualties and find out if there are any other Germans." ”

Five minutes later, he learned that he had reduced half of his platoon and that almost all the non-commissioned officers had been killed.

And they did not find the bodies of other Germans.
