"To be honest, you've exceeded my expectations. You are a brave warrior and I am so proud of you. Joseph nodded at Xia Ming. This is definitely not a compliment, but a matter of truth.

He saw Xia Ming kill at least 5 enemies today.

As a young man in his early 20s, it was already quite remarkable to be on the battlefield for the first time.

"Thank you for the compliment. Also, you saved my life today. Xia Ming had already set up his gun at this time, constantly observing the situation around him.

It is good to occupy a geographical advantage on the high ground, with a wide field of vision, and there is no dead end in shooting. As long as it is within his range, it is absolutely a hundred shots.

It's so much better than shooting from below.

Relying on his super eyesight, Xia Ming completely understood the strategic deployment of the Soviet army below, which extended to both sides of the Don River.

"I'm rubbing, it's really a good place to observe." Xia Ming frowned and carefully observed the movements of the Soviet army.

He's finally getting it through now.

The reason why they were able to capture this high ground was that on the one hand, they broke through the enemy's flank blockade through the cover of the armored army, and on the other hand, because this breakthrough was not large, perhaps the Soviet army did not think that their forward troops could take the high ground so quickly and did not support it at the first time.

Looking at the movement of the Soviet army now, it seems that they are a little angry, and they certainly do not want the flank heights to be completely controlled by the German army. Because it's very bad for them.

Once artillery support is deployed here, not only will the field of view be lost, but the troops below will be completely covered by artillery fire.

This high ground was of great significance to both armies.

“.... Squad leader, I think it's a bit difficult for us to hold on for two hours. Xia Ming saw that the steady stream of troops below began to gather, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

In particular, he saw that about two kilometers away, at least one of the opponent's artillery battalions was stepping up, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

The approximate maximum range of artillery of this era was about 1-2 km, which means that they will soon be able to hit them.

And these Soviet troops were obviously a little frenzied, and in order to hit them, they did not hesitate to expose their artillery and assemble in such an open place.

Actually, it's a chance to kill them...

"Well, they're definitely going to make a big charge for some time to come. This highland is not so tasty. Joseph nodded slightly.

"However, I think we should apply for air support." Xia Ming thought for a moment and said to himself.

"What?? Air support?? Joseph frowned slightly, it was impossible to defend the level and also provide air support.

Bombers aren't there for that.

Their role is to destroy the enemy's strategic targets, at least to bomb tank groups, it is impossible to bomb infantry.

"Squad leader, look! They are mobilizing artillery to move forward, ready to bombard us indiscriminately. Now the situation is only to request air support, isn't it worth our bombing that the opponent's artillery is so exposed?? ”

Xia Ming pointed in a direction and asked Joseph to pick up the binoculars.

He looked and looked, and soon put down the binoculars.

"You're right, I'll inform the company commander." Joseph obviously agrees with Xia Ming's opinion that targets in this sense can already apply for air support. If you combine this with the strategic significance of the highlands, you have to support them.

Now that the assault battalion has finally taken the high ground, it is impossible to be captured again.

Watching Joseph leave in a hurry, Xia Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead as he stared at the enemy soldiers below who were about to attack.

Being a soldier in World War II is really exciting enough, especially for soldiers who participated in the Soviet-German battlefield. Two countries that have fallen into madness are fighting a crazy battle...

Even he himself has fallen into a certain level of madness, and he can't stop.

The tip of the needle is facing the wheat mang, and there is almost no room for detours. It is a hard encounter, exchanging with each other and constantly consuming vital power.

"Xia Ming, it's great that you're still alive!"

Just when Xia Ming was secretly lamenting for this war, Muller trotted all the way to his side from the rear.

He also looked very embarrassed, his face was covered with black ash, and he almost didn't recognize it for a while.

The two hugged heavily.

Although they have not been together for a long time, they have established a deep comradeship.

"I took out at least 10 enemies today!" At this time, Mueller had changed to an MP40 submachine gun in his hand and a rifle around his neck.

After half a day of fighting, his ability as the first honor student of the training camp was also reflected. The battle was very valiant and clear-headed.

"Yes, that's amazing." Xia Ming pursed his lips slightly. Killing a Major yourself is more useful than killing 100 enemies.

"Hey, what's that look on your face. Do you have a better record than me? Muller looked at Xia Ming a little unpleasantly. As a recruit in the same period, Xia Ming's performance was better than him before, and this time he thought that he must be better, and the key is that his luck was also very good.

"Okay, both of you are excellent, you should both be awarded medals, but don't argue at this time!" Harry and Karn then rushed to the front of the position.

The two began to arm quickly.

It was followed by almost a platoon of troops, and boxes of ammunition and supplies were transported.

"Hurry up, we may not even have 10 minutes left!" The platoon commander commanded some engineer brothers to quickly reinforce the defensive line.

Xia Ming also specially asked for some sandbags and piled them in front of him, making a shooting hole.

Although the vision has been affected to a certain extent, the defense has been greatly improved.

Protect yourself to the greatest extent before you dare to kill the enemy bravely.

He suffered too many losses today, and many times he just didn't dare to shoot.

"God forbid, so that bullets can't hit me...", Mueller squatted next to Xia Ming and began to pray.

After praying, he said to Xia Ming sincerely: "You can pray too, it's really useful." I feel like I've had a few brushes with death today. Lucky, isn't it?? ”

"Well.." Xia Ming nodded slightly, in fact, he wanted to say that he had been silently reciting it countless times, but he didn't say it.

'They're going to attack right away, so keep me focused. As long as you reach your range, hit me hard! ”

The platoon commander shouted loudly not far away.

Xia Ming shifted his gaze to the enemy forces below. They had already walked out of the fortifications and climbed over several trenches. A charge was launched less than 1 km from the heights.

Visual inspection also has at least one regiment of troops, and there is a steady stream of follow-ups.

His target was already on an enemy captain with a pistol and directing the charge of his warriors.

Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. This is the last word that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

He doesn't have the lethality of a heavy machine gun, and as a sniper, he must take out these important targets first.

As the forward enemy got closer, everyone held their breath.

"800 meters.." Xia Ming gently resisted the trigger, in fact, he had already wanted to shoot. It's just that the first shot hasn't been fired.

The distance of 800 meters is condescending again, and it is already nine out of ten for him, didn't the platoon commander say it?? Shoot at your own range, there is nothing to hesitate about.

"Phew!" Xia Ming killed the captain who was staring at him with one shot. As he fell, some rifles in the position began the first round of firing.

“... Good marksmanship! Muller was right next to Xia Ming, so he naturally saw that he had killed an enemy soldier with a single shot.

He fired a shot at the same time, but it was clear that he missed the target.

At this time, Xia Ming had completely entered the attack mode, and the quick reload was another shot.

As the enemy got closer and closer, all kinds of weapons on the position began to frantically carry out a major purge of the enemy's first wave of charge.

In particular, the MG42's unique strafing sound is like the Grim Reaper on the battlefield mercilessly harvesting the lives of the enemy
