41 Fight to the death!
Of course, this is not something to show off, and the fat brother Trini told his story at this time, of course, to comfort Lei Rui. After two battles, he had fully accepted Lei Rui as a member of their team.
Sage Bode climbed out of the roof of the car, laughed, and teased: "Yes, at that time, the fat brother was much worse than you are now, he was a poor recruit, he couldn't eat at all, if it weren't for me and the big ass covering him, he wouldn't be able to hold on!"
Sage Bode's words were approved by Grady's big ass, and Fat Gotryni tilted his head and replied without looking at it, "Yes, it was true at the time, but you see, now I'm completely fine!" ”
Warhead Don. Collier and a few commanders personally went to the woods to inspect, in this battle, the two 88mm anti-tank guns of the German army, basically did not play the level they should have, in addition to the numerical disadvantage, it is obviously related to the lack of sufficient combat experience of the German soldiers, and as an anti-tank position with depth, there should be tanks to defend together, but I did not see it here.
When he returned, the head of the battle, Don. Collier's expression was a little serious, and after on-the-spot investigation, it was found that there were at least two tanks in this anti-tank position, but for some reason, the two tanks left the position and did not know where they went.
The next goal of taking this anti-tank position is to rendezvous with the main force of B Company in the next town. The short moments of leisure after the war were the most comfortable time for these GIs, cleaning the battlefield, collecting valuable gadgets from German soldiers, and distributing cigarettes and other things to everyone to share.
In the entire ranks, there were no officers, the acting platoon commander of the armored forces, the head of the battle. Collier was only a sergeant major, and B Company was a 1st platoon with tanks, and the platoon commander was killed under German anti-tank fire when he was searching this area.
Instead of participating in such a raid, Sage Bode took out a few folded poachs from his field bag strapped to a tank and made coffee on an M1941 gasoline stove while intently looking at the Bible in his hand.
Lei Rui finally had the opportunity to climb into the tank, sit in the gunner's position, look outside through the scope, and experience how the tank gunner aimed at the target, and moved the turret inside alone, tossing for a while before climbing out, and then stood behind the turret, holding the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun on the roof of the tank, turning left and right, comparing the maximum firing range on both sides.
Fat brother Trini and big ass Grady walked over with a smile, looked at Lei Rui curiously, tossed around on the roof of the car, and asked strangely, "What is Lei doing?" ”
The sage Bode looked up from the Bible and replied lightly: "He is studying the possibility of fighting Tiger tanks." ”
"Fack!" "He really takes this seriously?!" If I did run into a Tiger tank, I'd rather turn around and run, and call the Mustang to take it out! ”
"But what if you can't turn around and run?" Lei Rui climbed down from the roof of the car and replied, "Of course we don't want to go head-to-head with the Tiger tank, but it's always right to be prepared, the large-caliber machine gun above can completely shoot the commander of the Tiger tank into the turtle shell, not enough to show his head, which is equivalent to destroying the brain and eyes of the Tiger tank, and it seems that the odds are still good." ”
The sage Bode put away the Bible, began to pour coffee for everyone, and said to Lei Rui very seriously: "This is a good idea, but don't forget, the 88mm main gun of the Tiger tank can be fired at a distance of 1,000 meters, but the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun is not so easy to shoot accurately at a distance of 1,000 meters." ”
"Being able to shoot a tank at a distance of 1,000 meters is already accurate." Fat Gotrini nodded in agreement.
Lei Rui didn't argue with them about it anymore, took the steaming coffee, and took a small sip. The coffee smells very good, and it tastes very bitter, at this time, Lei Rui really hopes to add a spoonful of white sugar and pour a little milk into it, so that it will be much sweeter and smoother.
Thanks to the fact that it did not take much time to uproot the German anti-tank positions on the road, when the infantry mixed formation arrived at the target town, Company B was still there in a fierce battle with the Germans.
Warhead Don. After Collier and the acting platoon commander of the 1st platoon who came with him went to meet the commander of B Company, they immediately updated their mission, and the seven tanks were divided into three lanes, left, center, and right, and marched in unison, under the cover of the infantry of B Company, to drive the German soldiers to completely seize the town and use it as a place for the troops to spend the night tonight.
3 tanks in the middle lane, Fury led the car, followed by Binkowski's Angel of Death, and the commander of the L12 tank was missing. With a rumbling sound, the seven tanks split up, and the driver, Fat Gotrini, grabbed the hatch and turned his head to remind Lei Rui: "Close the hatch and watch out for the German snipers." ”
In fact, Lei Rui really wants to talk to the head of the battle. Collier said and asked him to go up to the top of the tank and control the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun, but that position was reserved for an infantryman, and he didn't have his share at all.
The town was not small, and the offensive of B Company was stopped by the Germans in the center of the town, where there were 88mm anti-tank guns arranged by the Germans, and two armored vehicles had already been hit there, but fortunately they retreated quickly, otherwise they would have been blown up there.
The tank rumbled, shaking the glass windows on both sides, Lei Rui carefully observed the road in front of the tank through the narrow periscope, and on the left and right sides of the street, there were infantry from B Company to prevent the German soldiers from sneaking closer.
When Lei Rui followed Captain Miller and others, it was in the small town of Langham, ambushing the German infantry mixed formation, in that ambush battle, they were not completely annihilated, and also killed a German Tiger tank, the record is very amazing. And this time, Lei Rui is in the Sherman tank, and he has changed his identity from the last ambush in the town of Langham, and the weapons and tactics they used against the tank this time will also be used against them by the German soldiers!
His hand did not dare to take a moment off the trigger of the machine gun, and he kept scanning ahead, not letting go of anything suspicious, and the furious tank slowly turned a 90-degree right-angle corner, and Lei Rui's eyes just turned with the tank hull, and suddenly turned back, locked on the protruding part of the street in front of him, and shouted: "Machine gun!" ”
At the same time, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and the 7.62mm caliber machine gun spat out a red trajectory and sprayed straight past.
