Chapter 5: Ambush
"Wow wow, I have to say, Lorenta is such a lucky guy!"
"It's not just him, Daniel was also saved by Rosen just now."
"It seems that it is not only the two of them who are lucky, but also us. With Rosen by our side, death can't help us. ”
……
A bunch of American GIs said babblingly.
"Rosen, well done." "I'll invite you to drink when we get back," Roebuck shouted, but before we do, we'll have to slaughter all the damned footbowl dwarfs." ”
"Kill them!"
All the GIs shouted in unison, and then rushed towards the beach ahead.
On the edge of the beach, a group of American GIs are engaged in a battle with the foot basin soldiers. The appearance of Rosen and others made the originally stalemate situation in favor of the American GIs.
Due to the previous limelight, Lawson has now become much more restrained, and instead of punching and rushing, he stands a little further back and shoots coldly.
Because he knows very well that this kind of melee is really quite dangerous, and the bullets that fly wildly don't have eyes, even if his current body has been digitized, as long as he doesn't hit the vital part, he won't be killed on the spot, but who dares to guarantee that he won't be unlucky enough to encounter that kind of small probability event. After all, anything can happen on the battlefield.
Since Roebuck and the others were engrossed in fighting the Japanese army, no one would notice that Rosen was playing soy sauce.
In fact, he didn't do nothing, at least by virtue of having a virtual crosshair, coupled with his condescendingness, he took out a few foot basin soldiers, including a machine gunner who was operating a machine gun to strafe wildly, so he once again gained an additional 10 merit points plus reputation +1.
This also made Lawson directly or indirectly save several comrades in danger, so not only did he gain some merit points and prestige more or less, but also increased the completion of the title of Rescuer to 3/5 again.
The only thing that made Lawson a little unhappy was that this time he didn't trigger the hidden quest to help.
It can be seen that the triggering of hidden tasks is not so simple, and there must be unknown conditions in it.
Bang.
As the last footbasin soldier on the beach fell to the ground, the sound of gunfire that had been loud became sparse and eventually quieted.
While Sergeant Sullivan met with the leader of the support team that had previously fought the Footbasin Soldiers, the rest of the team was either looking for trophy on the corpses of the Footbasin Soldiers or mending the wounded Footbasin Soldiers who were not yet dead, but Lawson set his sights on a machine gun placed in the beachhead fortifications.
This is a Taisho 3-year heavy machine gun, named after the equipment began to be equipped in the 3rd year of Taisho (1914).
"Type: Air-cooled heavy machine gun.
Reload: 30 rounds of retaining plates
Weight: 55.0 kg
Maximum firing range: 4000 meters. ”
"Quality: Normal, can only be used in this world."
"Rosen, what are you doing?" Miller couldn't help but ask when he saw Lawson dismantle the machine gun.
"Don't you think our firepower is too weak?" Rosen naturally had his considerations for dismantling the machine gun, because he was familiar with the plot of the game, he knew very well what he and his teammates would encounter later, but he couldn't tell Miller clearly, otherwise even if he wouldn't be treated as a spy, he might be treated as a magic stick, so he said vaguely: "So I decided to bring this machine gun, if I encounter such a machine gun position again, at least I can give my brothers enough fire support." ”
"But won't you get tired?" Miller nodded, but glanced at Lawson, who was already carrying a lot of firearms, and asked with concern.
"It's always a little tired, but for the safety of my brothers, it's nothing." Rosen said casually.
In fact, his body has been digitized, so unless the number of vehicles he carries exceeds the upper limit of his physical strength and strength, it is not a problem to have an extra machine gun at all, but this kind of thing is impossible to say to Millermin.
This remark not only made Miller completely suspicious, but at the same time, his favorability of Rosen increased again.
"Congratulations, Miller has +10 favorability for you."
Rosen looked at this system prompt, and really didn't know whether to be happy or ashamed that a casual half-truth could deceive Miller's favor.
"Good Lawson." Several teammates next to him heard Rosen's words and couldn't help but cast grateful glances at Rosen.
At the same time, Rosen received a lot of prompts, all of which were about the increase in so-and-so's favorability towards you. Although it was more or less 10:20, it meant that Lawson's popularity among his teammates had increased greatly. If he had stayed in this world and had so much favorability, he would definitely be able to mix well in the squad.
"I'll help you with the ammo box." Miller was influenced by Rosen and enthusiastically picked up a box containing machine gun cartridges.
Lorenta and Daniel, who had been saved by Rosen before, also came to help.
"Rosen, you're doing the right thing." Sergeant Sullivan ended his conversation with the leader of the support team, saw Lawson holding a machine gun, and gave him an appreciative look after asking why. After all, as the leader of the team, it is quite good to have a player like Rosen who always thinks about everyone's safety.
"Thank you." In the face of Roebuck's praise, Rosen was not modest.
"We'll have to keep going down the river until we find and blow up that damn Japanese ammunition depot, and then our mission is over." Roebuck said loudly, pointing in the direction of the target and saying, "Let's go." ”
Although the number of personnel increased again with the addition of the support team, it was quite inconvenient to walk because of the mud on both sides of the river, and the many trees that had been deliberately sawn down by the foot basins to block the way, and at the same time, the formation could not be expanded, and the number of people became more dangerous, because if there was an ambush machine gun position in front of it, it would definitely be a catastrophic massacre.
After some fighting, the physical strength of the others inevitably decreased, and the route was not easy to walk, so it was inevitable to stagger, but Lawson did not have such a problem, he was holding a machine gun at this time, staring vigilantly at both sides of the river in front of him, putting his fingers on the trigger, and he was in a state that he could immediately make a counterattack as long as there was a little wind and grass.
"Boss, look, there are a lot of dead bodies over there." The spearhead at the forefront reported to Roebuck.
It's a house that's been mostly destroyed. Judging by the fire above and the traces of grenades, it is clear that there was a fierce battle here. Next to the ruins of this house are a large number of Japanese corpses.
The rest of the American GIs could only be glad to see this, after all, it was their enemies who died on the ground. But Rosen is more than that.
Here it comes! Lawson couldn't help but tense his nerves completely when his heart was dark, because he knew that everyone would face a more fierce battle in the future.
"Damn, who killed these people?" Robuck saw the dead body on the ground, frowned and was full of doubt, and then shouted, "Jim, ask if there are any other teams who have been here before......"
Jim, who Roebuck was talking about, was the team's communicator.
Shout.
Before Roebuck's words could be finished, a flare flew into the air, and the originally dim surroundings were illuminated as if it were day.
Even if Lawson was wary and closed his eyes in time, he also felt that there was a white expanse in front of him. Needless to say, there are many people who have been dazzled by the extremely bright flares.
"There is an ambush! Find cover! Fast! Take cover!! Roebuck shouted in surprise.
Da-da-da-da.
At the same time, before everyone could react and dodge, the gunfire characteristic of the Japanese machine guns rang out.
Just as the hearts of the American soldiers were cold, they secretly screamed: It's over, when they were dead this time, they didn't feel the pain after the bullet penetrated their bodies, but the screams of the footbasin soldiers before they died came from the opposite side.
At this time, everyone realized that the gunfire came from the machine gun that Lawson was holding.
Despite its strange appearance, the bullets it spewed not only at Jim, but also at the Footbasin Soldier who was charging from all directions.
Those foot basin soldiers obviously did not expect that at this moment, under the dazzling light of the flares, the enemy would be able to react quickly, and what they did not expect was that the enemy still had a machine gun in his hand that had been taken from their own position, so the originally crazy and brave charge suddenly turned into a stupid collision with the muzzle. The seven or eight foot basin soldiers who rushed to the front were shot to the ground on the spot.
"Kill them!" Roebuck roared and ordered.
"Kill these damn footbasin dwarves." The other American GIs also shouted frantically and began to shoot at the enemy on the opposite side.
Shout.
Another flare rose into the air, and a small group of Japanese soldiers rushed out again with a frantic shout.
If such a surprise attack is suddenly encountered during the march in peacetime, then no matter who it is, it will definitely suffer considerable casualties, and even be defeated on the spot.
However, because Rosen had suppressed the first wave of Japanese charges with machine guns, so that the American GIs did not suffer any losses, and at the same time stabilized the formation, so when the second wave of Japanese troops arrived, they suffered a storm of bullets.
At this time, Lawson no longer had to charge forward with a machine gun, but just hide in the rubble of the house and rain down bullets on the Japanese army.
No one said that he was lazy, but he was once again grateful by many people, after all, Rosen had saved many people's lives just now, especially the correspondent Jim.
"Congratulations on successfully triggering the Hidden Quest again: Reach Out to Help."
"Get Jim's walkie-talkie."
"Title: Savior, 4/5 completion."
"Congratulations, Jim has +80 friendship with you."
