Chapter 15: The Battle of the Town (4)
Looking at the approaching enemy tank, Vincent gritted his teeth and finally gave the order to open fire.
"Fire!" As the order was given, the anti-tank guns, which had been missing, began firing.
"Boom~~~~" A Renault light tank was blown up, and a B1 tank was hit on the side at close range, and with a loud bang, a fierce flame erupted from the hatch on the top of the turret, and none of the crew members inside ran out, they should have died at the first time they were shot, or lost the ability to move. Another B1 tank turned its turret and fired a German anti-tank gun, blasting the gun company to pieces along with the commander and other soldiers, and then the barrel was hit by another anti-tank gun, and the damaged barrel was unusable, and the B1 was also scrapped. Licorice also saw two soldiers from the non-Greater German Regiment approaching quickly from both sides of the road, climbed into an enemy tank, and then pried open the hatch and threw a few grenades into it. Licorice had never heard of German infantry going up to the tank before the Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher came out, but they soon paid the price for their actions, although the tank was destroyed, but the situation was completely beyond their expectations, the grenade luckily detonated the ammunition rack located behind the driver, the whole tank exploded, the two people who didn't have time to escape were blown up with the turret in the sky, Licorice was very puzzled, the two people who died had a high probability of being the main god apostle, Europeans in the light of God's light would not risk such an attack as suicidal, but whether they were apostles of the Lord God or not had nothing to do with them.
"Fight back! Get these French out of town now! Vincent kept firing and commanded, and a cannonball exploded near him, knocking him to the ground in a rolling wave of air.
The counterattack began, and the soldiers turned their heads again, advancing towards the south of the town, where they had just withdrawn.
Licorice took Daniel and a few soldiers and walked forward with the cat, they were just being driven away, and now it was our turn!
On the streets full of ruins, Licorice hid behind sandbags and kept shooting, "Bang~~Kala~~" After shooting the guy who was obviously the squad leader on the opposite side in the head, he pulled the bolt again, and the bullet was reloaded, "Daniel, you five, go and occupy this building, I'll take the rest of the people to attack here." "Licorice temporarily took over as the squad leader, uh, this was originally a reinforcement class, and now there are only nine people left. Licorice pointed to the two houses in front of him and said, the French army learned from their previous behavior, entrenched in the house and fought with them in the street, slowly consuming their physical strength and soldiers.
"Understood!" The action began, Licorice took the lead and rushed over, "Bang~~" after a shot knocked out a soldier who dared to raise his head at the window, several people marched outside the house, this is a rare house that still maintains the general frame, in this ruined town of Stoney is really out of the crowd, so different.
Licorice kicked open the door, not rushing in, but signaled to the two men behind him to throw grenades, and the two soldiers threw all the remaining four grenades into it, and with the sound of continuous explosions, Licorice dodged and rushed into the house, and did not stop at the door after rushing into the house, because the door is the most vulnerable place to attack, and this will make it impossible for the teammates behind to enter the battlefield in time.
Licorice ran two steps forward after entering, saw two French soldiers who were still alive, and quickly shot off the head of one of them, while the other French soldier was killed by the German soldier who followed behind. In addition to the two French soldiers, there were other fragments and blood on the ground, presumably just killed. Licorice didn't have time to look closely, and directly led people to the second floor after solving the two people.
Licorice threw the three grenades that he carried with him but had not used them because he was a sharpshooter through the stairs to the second floor, and walked up the stairs quickly with the sound of explosions, this trick has been tried and tested, and modern anti-terrorist forces do the same, it would be better if there were special bullets, such as anti-infantry grenades, flash grenades, and shock grenades.
There are a lot of enemies in the upstairs hall, there are enough people who are still alive and hiding in the corridor, and Licorice goes upstairs and sees the enemies huddled together, which is very helpless and thrilling, because the current rifle can only shoot a single shot, and the rate of fire is very slow.
"Bang~~" After killing an enemy with a 98K rifle, Licorice directly let go of the hand holding the gun, looking at his enemies with a shocked expression on his face, and the muzzle that they were about to raise to aim at themselves, as well as the fingers that had been placed on the trigger, at this moment, Licorice's heartbeat seemed to speed up countless times, but time began to slow down, his pupils dilated, his mind was extremely concentrated, and even the sound of the wind outside the window could be clearly perceived, Instinctively, with a speed that even he can't react to, he quickly pulled out the P38 pistol that had been on his waist, and the continuous and rapid shooting, it was too late to aim too much, fast, he had to be faster, and he used his perception to guide his attack, when all eight bullets in the pistol were fired, none of the enemies in the aisle were still standing, even if he was not shot at first, he was refilled by the German soldiers who followed up when the licorice fired rapidly with a pistol, fortunately, there was no danger, Otherwise, let these enemies react and give themselves a shot, and they should immediately return to the arms of the main god, Licorice touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and thought of it with some rejoicing, and at the same time thanked Henry, if it wasn't for the P38 pistol that Henry got for himself, I'm afraid that only one 98K himself should go up to get a gun and fight hand-to-hand, and then he was shot and killed.
"Report sir, there are no more enemies in this building." A soldier reported to licorice after inspecting all the rooms.
"yes, tell the other team to come over and assemble, and then we'll move forward." Hearing the soldier's report, Licorice gradually calmed down and replied softly.
Reloading the rifle and pistol, Licorice led the men out of the small building to join the group of soldiers they had just separated, but there were five when they parted, and now there were only four.
Daniel silently handed a blood-stained dog tag to Licorice.
"He's dead, and the enemies in the building reacted quickly, and they reacted as soon as we broke down the door." Said one of the veterans of the team that had just separated.
"Check the ammunition and let's move on!" Licorice said as he put away his dog tags, and the soldiers continued to disperse and grope into enemy-occupied territory.
Licorice lightly climbed over a small earthen wall in front of him, watching the enemy soldiers outcropping in the window of a building without hesitation, shooting him down and running quickly to the right front of a collapsed wall and hiding, the sparse bullets fell on the ground nearby, it seems that there are not many enemies who notice themselves, Licorice thought so, and continued to attack with his teammates, from time to time to find an opportunity to shoot down one enemy after another, but this is only temporary.
A few minutes later, a violent explosion sounded, and a crater was directly blown out of the ground, and the air waves were rolling and the smoke and dust were scattered.
"Retreat! Evacuate! The tanks of the French are coming! Lying on the street with a sandbag, shaking the dirt from the steel helmet, Licorice roared loudly.
"Bang~~" pulled the trigger and hit an infantry who was holding down next to the tank, and in the desperate eyes of the infantryman, Licorice took several soldiers who were still alive and other platoons of soldiers to slowly retreat in the rain of bullets and artillery fire, and re-exited the street that had been seized by both sides three times in a row.
"We have suffered heavy casualties! One platoon under me has already been removed, and at least half a company of men has been wounded and incapacitated! In the field command center in the middle of the town, Lieutenant Colonel Adrian Schroeder whispered to the regimental commander, Colonel von Stockhouse. Lieutenant Colonel Adrian Schroeder has been promoted to battalion commander.
"I understand." Colonel von Stockhouse said with a serious face.
