Sergeant Howard asked the same question on everyone's minds.

Lei Rui and Jason looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and replied, "Sergeant, that is indeed a very good sniper position, and it can also serve as a lookout." However, it was not a suitable sniper position, there were two main problems, one was that it was impossible to transfer the position, and the other was that the enemy army would also know that it was a commanding height, a good sniper position, and the enemy commander only needed to be a little more cautious, afraid that before leading the army into the ruins of Langham Town, he would knock out the tower with one shot! To prevent future troubles! ”

"But then we don't know what the enemy is attacking." Corporal Hansen questioned.

Lei Rui pointed to the rudimentary model on the ground and said: "When the enemy army enters the town of Langlem, it is obvious that it will take a two-way or even three-way offensive to attack, the key is that we do not have enough manpower and firepower to deploy defense on the three roads, so we can only focus on the middle road, taking into account the left and right flanks, so in fact, whether we can know the specific offensive deployment of the enemy army is of little significance." ”

"Well, go on." Time was pressing, Captain Miller began.

"The remaining 16 people, two of them for a combat group and three machine-gun fire teams, arranged two or three machine-gun positions in advance, prepared ammunition in advance at the machine-gun positions, and transferred them in turn. Two M1A1 Bazooka rocket fire teams designed to deal with enemy tracked vehicles, self-propelled anti-tank guns, heavy machine gun fire points. Two demolition teams against tanks and one rifle team, coordinated by Captain and Sergeant Howard. ”

The plan Lei Rui said was mainly about the grouping and arrangement of personnel, and did not involve the layout of the battlefield, Captain Miller considered it, swept around, and found that no one took the initiative to speak and add, nodded and said: "OK, this will be a hard battle, our purpose is not to defend to the death, but to delay the enemy's attack and buy time." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lei Rui and said, "Lei, you and Merry are in a team, using MG42 machine guns." Hansen, two point 30 machine gun teams, two Bazooka bazooka fire teams, two demolition teams, you arrange. Rebin, you and Jason are in charge of using that half-track motorcycle to scout the size of the enemy army and lure the enemy tanks in, and only with the terrain here can we knock out the enemy tanks. ”

"Captain, and me, I can take part in the battle!" Ryan asked.

"Nope! You have more important tasks! Captain Miller replied to Ryan's request, "Once we can't resist the German attack and the defense collapses, you will be responsible for blowing up the bridge!" I don't want to fight to the end, none of us can get up and press the detonator! ”

After Captain Miller finished speaking, he still seemed to be a little worried about Ryan, and deliberately turned to the military doctor Wade and said: "Wade, you and Ryan are in a group, remember, once the whole line collapses, the German army will seize the bridge, and the bridge must be blown up, and the German army must not be allowed to seize the passage of this counteroffensive landing field!" ”

Wade glanced at Ryan, nodded, and replied very seriously, "Yes, Captain, I understand!" ”

The personnel arrangement was so determined, Captain Miller made a little change on the basis of Lei Rui's plan, Jason also needed personal protection when he transferred and sniped on the battlefield as a sniper, so he put Rebin in the same group as him.

And the two of them have to take on the heavy responsibility of scouting and acting as bait.

Corporal Hansen quickly assigned the personnel, Ryan and Wade went to check for the explosive device that blew up the bridge, and Captain Miller led the group along the road into the town to determine the arrangement of the Hawkins anti-tank mines.

This flat metal flask-like anti-tank mine can be installed with a fuse or connected to a wire and manually detonated, and the 4.9 kg TNT explosive warhead can completely blow up the tank's tracks and road wheels, paralyzing the tank in place.

But after paralyzing the tank, it is necessary to kill and annihilate the infantry who are accompanying and protect it, so that the infantry can come forward and find a way to knock out the tank, otherwise even if it is a paralyzed tank, its 88mm main gun is still a great threat.

So Captain Miller divided the 17 Hawkins anti-tank mines into two groups, one was planted in the middle aisle to blow up the tank tracks, and the other was planted on both sides of the street behind the predetermined position, which was manually detonated by wires to bombard the accompanying infantry behind the tanks.

The German soldiers who were blown up and wanted to avoid the buildings on both sides would be waiting for them by cross-strafing from machine gun fire.

If there is more than one enemy tank, Captain Miller teaches everyone to make a home-grown adhesive bomb based on local materials, soak the stinky military socks discarded on the battlefield with sticky dry butter, and load them with explosives, which are black and slimy, and in case they reach this point, they can risk getting close to the tank, sticking this sock bomb to the tank road wheels, and blowing up the tracks.

But no one wants to get to that point.

The result of the discussion between Lei Rui and Melley was to defend the right flank and hand over the middle to two Browning machine gun groups, and they boldly selected three positions, the first machine gun position, almost parallel to the pre-planted Hawkins anti-tank mines, when the anti-tank mines were detonated, when they opened fire to kill the enemy.

As soon as they got busy, time passed very quickly, Leybin and Jason drove the German half-track motorcycle, along the road where the German army came, to reconnoitre, in the ruins of the town, the arrangement of each person was nearing the end, and the team that laid the mines was left with the final steps, carefully scattering the earth, covering the wires on the ground, and when they entered the building, the wires could not cover the soil, so they could only pull over a broken chair to cover the wires.

The surroundings were completely silent, and Melly leaned against the wall, took out a high-grade cigarette, and brought it to his nose to sniff vigorously, the fragrance of tobacco lifted his spirits.

He was reluctant to put away the cigarette at all, but at this time, he didn't dare to light a fire, he could only smell the fragrance of tobacco and enjoy it.

"Hey, Ray, what do you want to do when you get home after the war?" Melly asked suddenly in a low voice.

Melly was a lean Jewish lad, and whether he was marching or fighting, he always took the time to get the mustache on his upper lip neatly groomed.

Lei Rui was stunned, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about this problem. His home is far away in another world of time and space, how to go back, whether he can go back, he still has no clue.

Seeing Lei Rui stunned there, Melly patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said half-jokingly: "Ray, don't worry, you come to New York to find me then, and we will go to Wall Street together and do a great job!" ”

But as soon as the words fell, the smile on Melly's face froze there, and the tears were like raindrops with broken threads, dripping down incessantly.
