Walking to the Langham bridge, Ryan went to report to Corporal Hansen, who was in charge of guarding the bridge, and the other paratrooper soldiers all looked at Captain Miller and his group of seven with happy eyes, and they all thought that Captain Miller's squad was a reinforcement that had arrived in advance, and a large reinforcement meant that it had already been on the road.

Rybin took a few steps forward and whispered to Captain Miller, "Captain, our mission is to find Ryan and bring him back safely!" ”

"Rybin," replied Captain Miller, turning back and whispering, "I know what our mission is, so let's rest on the spot, and in an hour we'll be on our way back!" ”

Leybin smiled embarrassedly, he was very worried that Captain Miller would take over the defense of the bridge, what kind of joke, such a place without danger to defend, and there is only such a small number of manpower left, the German reconnaissance team can dispatch two half-track vehicles, which means that the German army coming from behind must be a mixed infantry formation equipped with tanks, and to capture this bridge, it is completely a crushing power advantage.

If he really wants to face this situation, Leybin thinks that the safest thing to do is to blow up this Langlem Bridge and defend it across the river!

Sergeant Howard gathered everyone together and rested on the spot, while Captain Miller greeted Corporal Hansen and Ryan as they walked by, ready to tell the truth.

Lei Rui opened his backpack and took out his C battle rations, and Jason asked him strangely, "Ray, what time is it?" You're ready to eat? ”

"Didn't the captain say that he would leave in an hour?" Lei Rui asked rhetorically, "When the time comes, you have to hurry, how can you have time to stop and eat?" It's better to fill your stomach first and wait for a while. By the way, there's no cooking pot or anything here, this cold guy can't really swallow it. ”

He was talking about the luncheon meat in the C battle rations, the quota of this thing was very sufficient, and the protein and fat provided were very sufficient, but many times, in between battles, there was no heating condition and time at all, and the cold meat was really greasy to eat, and these American soldiers hated this thing, but they flocked to the canned vegetables and potatoes of the German soldiers.

After many years of war, Germany's supply capacity was much less than before, and the rations of combat rations for front-line soldiers, although the quota was not reduced, greatly reduced the supply of meat and fat, and the ration of potatoes and vegetables was increased accordingly.

"Are you looking for a pot? Are you still going to make a fire and cook? Rybin asked, turning his head strangely.

Lei Rui shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's easy to do it with a pot, you can make a hot pot of smorgasbord meat, vegetables, and potato soup, and eat bread on the hot soup, isn't it a very pleasant thing?" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Rybin was the first to react and shouted, "Damn it, Ray! You're making me drool! What are you waiting for? Let's go find the pot and get started! ”

As soon as it came to eating, especially the steaming smorgasbord of meat and vegetable and potato soup, everyone was in good spirits, and even Sergeant Howard stood up and beckoned everyone to work in pairs to go to the abandoned buildings of the town to collect and collect, if there was a complete kitchen, it would be easy to do, just collect the planks that could light a fire, and then you could get to work.

Lei Rui and Jason are in a group, and they go into the building on the left side of Central Street, and they don't need to look at the second floor, but if there is a kitchen, it must be on the first floor.

After searching the first room, the two found nothing, and Jason was a little disappointed, thinking that he was also very yearning for the steaming smorgasbord of meat and vegetable potato soup described by Lei Rui.

From boarding the LCM landing craft to the present, in fact, everyone has never drunk a sip of hot soup, even Jason, an American soldier, has been accustomed to eating cold food, nibbling bread, and drinking milk since he was a child, but he can't stand the cold fat in the luncheon meat, and being able to eat a hot smorgasbord is definitely a very tempting expectation.

Lei Rui smiled and told him not to worry, and then changed the conversation and asked Jason: "Jason, if you choose, in the case of the German infantry mixed formation coming to attack, which position can maximize your sniper power in this town and the bridgehead?" ”

"That tower over there!" Jason replied without hesitation, reaching out and pointing to the right, "The outline of the tower remains intact, it is the highest vantage point in the vicinity, it has a good view, and it is easy to conceal, so it is the most suitable as a sniper position." ”

He saw Lei Rui shaking his head at his words in front of him, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What, Lei, what do you think differently?" ”

"Yes, it's a good sniper position, but I don't think it's the most suitable!" Lei Rui replied.

As the two spoke, they walked into the next building, Jason groaned, nodded and replied, "Well, it's indeed a little flawed, that sniper position is not easy to transfer, this is a problem." ”

"It's just a problem, not the main thing," Lei Rui explained, "If you think about it, if you were a German commander, for your own safety, you must be in the tank to direct the accompanying infantry and the tank to fight together, right?" Then he must not completely retract into the shell of the turtle like a turtle, but must observe the situation on the battlefield at the hatch of the tank. You say, what is he most afraid of at this time? ”

"Sniper!" Jason got to the point right of nowhere.

"Yes! The German commanders were most worried about the snipers on our side. Lei Rui continued, "Then when he attacks, he will see this only commanding height in this town at first sight, the tower, do you think, will he order the tanks to come and shoot this tower at the first time, so as to prevent future trouble?" ”

Hiss!

Jason gasped, feeling a hint of cold air in the back of his neck.

If he was in the sniper position of the tower, in order to avoid startling the snake, he would definitely not be the first to shoot, knock out the German commander first, and then he could only watch the main guns of the German tanks slowly rise up, aim at the tower, and bombard them with one shot.

In that case, there was no way for him to escape, only a dead end!

The German tanks in this area must be the Tiger, whether it is the early Tiger or the later improved Tiger, equipped with an 88mm main gun, only one shot is enough to blast the tower into a pile of powder!

The tower, as the only commanding height from which this ruined town remains intact, is indeed a good place for sniping and a good place to keep a lookout, but it is precisely because of this that it has also become the place where the Germans must give the highest priority, and for the Germans, this does not cost anything, that is, the main gun of the tank is just a shot!

The location is excellent, the target is obvious, the cost is almost zero, and it can also take the effect of deterrence, why not?

Jason walked behind Lei Rui, from the perspective of the German commander, thinking to himself.
