Cheng Yanqiu's voice sounded in Qi Lin's ears, judging from the performance of the German soldiers around him, this voice should only be heard by Qi Lin.

"If you really want to know all the truth, just pass these tests, and I know it's not hard for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the voice disappeared without a trace, as if everything was Qi Lin's hallucination.

Only the gunfire on the battlefield still comes and goes.

It seems that in order to take care of Qi Lin, the language used by the German soldiers around him is all English, and with the historical background of the time, this scene seems a little weird.

Qi Lin looked at the Mauser G98 rifle in his hand and checked the equipment on his body again - in addition to those miscellaneous items, he only had 13 7.92 mm caliber Mauser rifle rounds on his body, and an M24 wooden-handled grenade - at this time, there was still almost half a year before the M1917 cluster anti-tank grenade developed specifically for combat vehicles appeared.

With the M24 grenade charge alone, it is impossible to blow through the tank's armor unless multiple grenades are bundled together – but the most important point is that the grenade must be thrown close to the tank, which is too risky.

The three Mark 1 tanks, one "male" equipped with two 57 mm naval rapid-fire guns and four 7.7 mm Vickers water-cooled heavy machine guns, and the other two "male and female" were equipped with six heavy machine guns instead of rapid-fire guns.

Coupled with the Enfield rifles in the hands of the infantry following the tank, the British constantly suppressed the German positions with firepower, and the German soldiers had to hide in the trenches, and those who dared to show their heads were basically killed by the intensive fire.

Even if Qi Lin was an evolutionary, it was almost impossible for him to get close to the tank and throw grenades without cover, as soon as he rushed out of the trench, he would be immediately beaten into a hornet's nest.

How do you destroy a tank when you can't get close to it?

As for the other condition - to survive for 24 hours, this condition may be able to be achieved if it is changed to another battlefield, but you must know that this is the Somme River, and Qi Lin's position is still the damn front line, less than three hundred meters from the British army's position.

If he chooses to escape, he will be greeted by machine gun fire from the Warlords.

"Destroying a tank from a distance...... Qi Lin constantly searched for information about the First World War in his mind - he had not attended the history classes taught in school, let alone the courses of the military academy, and his knowledge of the First World War was limited to some materials he had checked in his spare time and the war shooters he had played.

However, in the midst of this little pitiful information, Qi Lin really found a weapon that could be used against tanks!

"K-bomb!"

K-type bullets, referred to as K-bullets, to put it bluntly, are actually an early armor-piercing bullet, and K-bullets with tungsten carbide cores can penetrate 10 mm thick steel plates at a distance of 100 meters.

At the time of the Battle of the Somme, the Germans were already armed with K-shells, but at that time K-shells were rationed to snipers and machine gunners to deal with enemies hiding behind shields made of metal armor plates.

The thickness of the armor of the Mark I tank was only about 10 to 15 mm, and if the angle was right, the use of K shells could completely penetrate the armor plate of the tank and kill the crew inside, but it was not until 1917 that the Germans discovered this situation after the capture of two Mark I, so they began to distribute K shells to ordinary infantry as anti-tank weapons.

However, it did not take long for the British to put the thicker armored Mark IV tank into the battlefield, and the K shell lost its role as an anti-tank weapon.

Qi Lin pulled a soldier next to him and asked loudly, "Is there a K bullet, who has a K bullet here?!" ”

"What...... What the? The soldier was obviously still in the horror and horror of seeing the tank for the first time, and he didn't react at all to what Qi Lin asked him.

"K-bomb! I said K-bomb! ”

“…… K-bomb? That...... That's only available to snipers and machine gunners...... Squad leader, this is an infantry squad...... How, how could there be such a thing? The soldier said with some cringe - Qi Lin had noticed his rank from the beginning, he was a corporal, and according to the establishment of the German army during World War I, he should be the squad leader of this infantry squad.

During World War II, the German army's rifle squad basically fought around the MG34 or MG42 in the squad, but during World War I, machine guns were not so popular, and ordinary infantry squads only had submachine guns at most, and machine guns were rarely equipped.

Moreover, due to the problem of weight, most of the machine guns were fixed in positions, and the division of machine gun squads and rifle squads was quite clear.

"And where is the nearest machine gun squad?" Qi Lin continued to ask, at this critical juncture, he didn't bother to consider whether this kind of question seemed abrupt with his identity, anyway, he would return after this battle...... Ahh

"Sergeant Horse, Marcus's machine gun squad...... In、In the C6 position next door...... But, but it's been a long time since I've heard a shot from their side......"

"Where is the C6 position?" Qi Lin felt that if this was a time-traveling plot, I was afraid that his identity as a time-traveler would be exposed in minutes.

"In ...... Over there...... "Fortunately, this soldier didn't think so much out of fear and nervousness, and honestly pointed out a direction to Qi Lin.

……

The C6 position was not far from the trench where Qi Lin's rifle squad was located, but the section connected to the middle of the trenches between the two sides had been blown up by shells, and Qi Lin wanted to enter the C6 position, he had to rush through a section of about fifteen meters without any cover.

But fortunately, Qi Lin, as an evolutionary, still has the advantage of speed, and he took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and with a dodge, he crossed the empty area and rolled into the trench opposite.

This was the C6 position where Sergeant Marcus's machine gun squad was located, but Qi Lin could understand why the soldier before said that he hadn't heard the sound of a machine gun for a long time - a mortar shell fell into the trench impartially, killing the entire machine gun squad.

The MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun was leaning crookedly against the edge of the trench, next to two broken wooden magazines.

If Qi Lin is not mistaken, each Maxim heavy machine gun is equipped with two or three K-round chains, and one chain is 250 rounds - for the Maxim heavy machine gun with an astonishing rate of fire, it may only support a few seconds of strafing, but for Qi Lin, it is completely sufficient.

"Fortunately, the bullets of the MG08 and the G98 can be used together, and the logistics concept of the German army is still very advanced......"

Qi Lin quickly found the two cloth bullet chains with special markings, and cut off the K bullets on them one by one.
