37 This is war
This kind of terrain is very suitable for ambushes, but the leading second-class sergeant major Hawke didn't care at all, just held the binoculars and kept looking ahead. On the roof of the Fury Tank, the warhead Don. Collier's upper body was exposed outside the car, picked up the microphone, and said: "Everyone's eyes are bright, pay attention to ......"
Lei Rui suddenly frowned, and subconsciously shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”
The machine gun in his hand swung to the right with his gaze, aimed at the bushes only a few meters away from the tank, and pulled the trigger.
The sound of gunfire drowned out the head of the battle. Collier's voice, even in the daytime, tracer bullets showed a bright trajectory of bullets, shooting into the dense bushes, and just when everyone was not aware of it, the shouts of German soldiers rang out in the bushes, and the figures of people loomed behind the woods and bushes.
"Enemy attack! Turn to 2 o'clock! Machine gun fire! Fire! "Battlehead Don. Collier reacted immediately, yelling loudly over the microphone.
The five tanks that followed almost immediately did as they were ordered, and at the same time turned, machine guns clicked and tracer bullets rained down. The German soldiers in the bushes, shouting loudly, were caught off guard by the sudden heavy artillery fire, and cried bitterly.
Only the tank in front of it still rumbled forward as if it hadn't heard it, driving several meters away, and it seemed to react and stopped.
Warhead Don. Collier immediately shouted: "Don't stop! Don't stop! ”
But it didn't work, the tank in front stopped there, and then it boomed and began to turn slowly.
Out of the corner of his eye, Lei Rui noticed that in the bushes next to the tank there, there was a German soldier showing his figure, and the one on his shoulder was the Iron Fist anti-tank bazooka, and he immediately waved his hands, his fingers kept pressing the trigger, and the machine gun immediately roared and crossed an arc, and the trajectory of the bullet shown by the tracer bullet was like a fan-shaped surface, sweeping the figure of the German soldier.
At the moment when he was shot, the iron-fist anti-tank bazooka on his shoulder just rose a puff of smoke and was launched, but at this moment, his figure was distorted by the machine gun bullet, and the bazooka was lifted up, and the rocket deviated from the direction of the aim, and swept over the head of the tank parked there.
Didn't shoot!
Needless to say, in the tank that was turning, the driver, the machine gunner, were scared into a cold sweat! At such a close distance, if it is hit by this iron fist anti-tank rocket, the tank will be directly shot and imploded, and several people in the car will be burned alive by the flames!
However, the commander of the second class sergeant Hawke, who was standing on the tank, was cut off half of his head by the rocket that was shot and fell on the top of the tank, the tank cap commonly known as the big dog hat and the M1 steel helmet on the outside, in front of the iron fist rocket, it was completely like paper paste, without any protective effect, and after being lifted off directly, half of his head was cut off.
Fortunately, the rocket did not explode on the top of the tank, but after cutting off half of the head of the commander of the second class, Sergeant Major Hawke, it flew away!
This was the last chance and the best chance for the German soldiers who were ambushed, but unfortunately it fell through in the end, and in front of Lei Rui's eyes, the faint gray-white text was scrolling, showing that he had gained 2 merit points in the machine gun fire just now, and the accumulated merit points reached 26 points.
"Stop shooting! Stop shooting! ”
Don at the head of the war. In the shouts of Collier, the seven tanks lined up ceased fire one after another, rumbling over, the dense bushes had been swept away by the fierce rain of bullets, and at this moment they could not stop the rolling steel wheels, and they fell down in the click, and the German soldiers hiding behind them lay on the ground horizontally, none of them survived!
Warhead Don. Collier held the MP44 assault rifle captured from the Germans, and led a few people over, Lei Rui's eyes were blazing, and he held the handle of the machine gun in his right hand, maintaining a vigilant posture that could shoot at any time. A few people from Collier came over and shouted, "Safety! ”
However, the situation just now was searched, but this group of experienced commanders and tank soldiers were shocked into a cold sweat, this German soldier ambushed here, a squad of troops, 4 iron fist anti-tank rocket launchers, if Lei Rui didn't find out quickly, before the German soldiers started to act, they could have killed at least two or three tanks!
If that were the case, the loss would be too great!
Tang Dynasty. Collier stepped forward to confirm that Sergeant Major 2nd Class Hawke was the only one killed, and returned to the Fury Tank, although he had a calm face, he still nodded to Lei Rui, and when he climbed the barrel to the top of the tank, the driver, Fat Gotrini, turned his head, winked at Lei Rui, and praised: "Ray!" Good job! ”
At the critical moment, the head of the battle, Tang. Collier showed good military qualities, reacted quickly, commanded calmly, and responded accurately and timely, on the other hand, Sergeant Major Hawke, who was pinned on by the company commander Captain Hawkins, seemed to be a little slow to react, and in an emergency, this slowness in reaction was enough to drag the entire tank or even the entire armored platoon into the bottomless abyss!
It's not a matter of his slow reaction, but he hasn't been in battle for a long time, he hasn't experienced the tempering of blood and fire on the battlefield, and the gunshots are all together, he is a little dazed, and his head seems to be blank.
Lei Rui survived the battle to seize the beachhead in Omaha and had a chance to grow into an excellent soldier, but Second Sergeant Major Hawke did not have such good luck, and he died in an ambush by the Germans and ended his young life as soon as he was full of ambition to lead the team independently.
Tang Dynasty. Collier returned to his seat, propped up the hatch with both hands, and shook his head at Binkowski, the hunky commander of the rear car, and signaled that Second Sergeant Major Hawke was dead, Binkowski was the platoon leader of the second armored platoon and the head of the battle. Collier's old comrades-in-arms also had a calm fat face at this time, and they didn't know what to say.
"Attention all tanks! I'm the head of the war! "Battlehead Don. Collier picked up the microphone and said, "Now I'm in charge, I'm in charge, I'm in charge, and the whole team follows me towards the goal!" ”
A thrilling encounter ended, 7 tanks were on the road again, only this time, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as just now, everyone invariably remained silent, the head car was replaced by a furious, battle head Tang. Collier deserved to take the lead, and the other commanders had no objection to this.
