Chapter 180: The Longest Day (Part II)
"Grant you equal death! Boom. "A soldier of the U.S. Airborne Division, cowering on a street corner, was shot through the chest.
"You're dead! Boom. "One of the soldiers who tried to pull the unlucky guy to safety was blown off the head.
"On behalf of the moon...... Phew. Hu Bin suddenly felt a palpitation, and hurriedly collapsed under the windowsill, a series of bullets above his head swept through the window and hit the wall behind him. Hu Bin looked at the pit on the wall behind him and swallowed his saliva, stabilized his somewhat swaying helmet, and poked out the muzzle of the gun again through a different window.
"When God closes a door for you, He will open a window for you. Boom. The bullet grazed the shoulder of a paratrooper who was rushing forward, allowing the lucky guy to escape. Hu Bin grinned, his hit rate was not 100 percent, although it was a pity that this shot was missed, but it was also reasonable.
"Go ahead, Pikachu! Bang" The last bullet in the magazine burst out of the muzzle and accurately hit the paratrooper in the opposite window who tried to give Hu Bin another shuttle of submachine gun bullets, and saw that the guy who was shot folded down from the window, Hu Bin put away the sniper rifle with satisfaction. This position has been exposed, and Hu Bin has to find the next suitable sniper point again.
Hu Bin, who was almost beaten into a colander, no longer dared to be careless, his actions became more and more secretive, like a ghost wandering within the German defense line, constantly firing soul-hooking bullets. The Allied soldiers in the vicinity knew that there was a rather abominable sniper on the opposite side, but they never caught him.
As the number of kills gradually increased, Hu Bin's sniping skills also improved considerably, and his accuracy when shooting at moving targets was much higher. By the time Hu Bin had emptied six magazines, he had already pocketed the heads of twenty Allied paratroopers. And after Hu Bin killed more than 20 people, he also received a spatial prompt, and his record system was turned on. Looking at the series of side quests on the panel, Hu Bin felt that he had been struck by great happiness, and the benefits of risking to enter the world of mercenary missions were indeed unexpectedly large.
The first of the side quests in Space is the one about the number of kills that can be repeated and can be picked up. When the number of kills reaches twenty, fifty, hundred, three hundred, six hundred, or one thousand, the space will remind the numberer whether to redeem these kills for rewards, and once redeemed, the numberer's kills will be reset to zero. The exchange reward within a hundred kills is only the space gold coin reward, but once the number of kills rises to more than one hundred, the exchange reward will be greatly increased, not only will there be a large number of gold coin rewards, but also will be rewarded with titles and rating values, and finally the reward of thousands of people is even coveted by Hu Bin, and it can actually make the space provide a chance to upgrade equipment for the numbered person for free. It is worth mentioning. Killing a space-designated target is equivalent to directly accumulating thirty kills, which makes Hu Bin happy and worried. If you want to complete the mercenary mission, you will have at least three hundred kills in your account, and the space will position the value of the designated target as equivalent to thirty soldiers, which means that its combat power is also comparable to thirty soldiers, and it is definitely not easy to deal with.
If anyone is most satisfied with the first side quest, it's the numberers who choose the fireman class, which has been a class that relies too much on teammates to become a popular class for kills. At the very least, the gold rewards earned after the kills were redeemed made their squandering of bullets less costly.
Other side quests range from unreliable missions such as capturing Allied spies lurking in France alive and seeing the Führer's face with your own eyes, to difficult missions such as shooting down Allied bombers, tanks, artillery, and other war machines. Of course, the rewards are also high and low, and in general, as long as the numberers are willing, opportunities to earn profits abound.
But compared to the high reward of more than 1000 ratings in the main quest, everyone knows which is more important than the side quest. But Hu Bin has not encountered even a space-designated target until now, which can't help but make him think about attacking side quests, after all, he is not sure if he can complete the main line in the remaining mission time. Side quests, on the other hand, are real vested interests.
Once again, the Allied attack was repulsed, and nearly a hundred and fifty corpses were left on the edge of the small town. But the Germans also paid a heavy price, with Hu Bin's company reduced to less than a hundred soldiers, and there was little ammunition left for machine guns and cannons.
Taking advantage of the short retreat of the Allied forces, Hu Bin returned to the temporary command post and reported the attack on the small city to the general headquarters, and showed that he was no longer able to launch an attack, and it was difficult to even maintain a defense. The command also expected such an outcome, and only told Hu Bin to delay the enemy in the city as much as possible, and there was no other arrangement. Hu Bin put down the microphone and hammered the radio hard, his company was estimated to be an outcast in the eyes of bureaucrats like the command, no matter how tenacious they were to resist the enemy here, it was just a meaningless struggle, Hu Bin first had the idea of escaping, but soon this thought was extinguished. The soldiers in the company will not turn their backs on their motherland, and they will rush forward without hesitation even if they know that they will be sent to death.
Hu Bin, who had no way out, had to try his best to make the defense line stronger, shrink the defense line if he was short of manpower, and reduce the firepower point when he was short of ammunition. As long as Hu Bin makes some suggestions, Byrne will implement them well according to his own understanding.
The German soldiers' initiative to withdraw from the first line of defense attracted the attention of the Allied forces in the city, and soon sent a squad of troops to test it, and the treacherous thunder left at the door gave them a surprise, which made Hu Bin's kill count jump up again, but this could not prevent the situation of their own shrinking forces from being exposed, and the Allies soon occupied several undefended buildings and continued to confront the German army not far away.
Hu Bin asked the soldiers to retreat on their own initiative, there was a small square between the two sections of positions they occupied, and most of the reason why their own soldiers paid a heavy price in the process of advancing was because of the open terrain in this area. But then, it was the turn of the Allies to stain the small square with blood.
Only three machine guns were left in the company to build up firepower, and the anti-aircraft machine guns were moved to the front to deter the enemy, but in reality they were running out of ammunition and putting on a show to attract attention. The real killer move left by Hu Bin was the mortar placed behind the building's defensive line, which had previously been due to the terrain. Hu Bin was not willing to waste the only cannonballs, and now he is just using his power.
Hu Bin, who seemed to have everything, had no chance of winning at all, and he didn't need to look at how bad the actual situation of the German army was. The supply is cut off, the depth is lost, the support is hopeless, the ammunition is exhausted, the casualties are more than half, and there is no demoralization collapse or because both sides are fighting fire, if Hu Bin is the commander opposite. He will definitely not give up the idea of annihilating the German army, which is also one of the reasons why Hu Bin took the initiative to retreat.
The German soldiers who had been fighting for four hours finally got a short respite, and the relaxed nerves immediately spread the pent-up exhaustion throughout their bodies, and even Hu Bin couldn't bear the sequelae after the high-intensity battle, so he hid in a freshly dug trench to rest. Several of the crew members of the truck had already distributed the last of the food to the surviving soldiers, but the sumptuous dinner was particularly hard to swallow.
It was already dark, but it was clear that the Allied forces in the city would not let go of Hu Bin's small remaining group of enemies, and soon organized another round of offensive, this time with nearly a full company of troops at once. Attempts were made to directly crush the enemy's line of defense with numerical superiority.
But the three machine guns continued to spray bullets, and the rhythmic roar of the machine guns followed, and the five-second mortar shells exploded in the square, and the sound of rifles and submachine guns joined the feast of blood. The advancing Allied soldiers were momentarily stunned by the heavy fire. After paying a heavy price, he retreated with a lot of blood.
What the Allies didn't know was that this round of fierce attacks directly consumed all the machine gun and machine gun shells of the German army, and even half of the mortar shells were used. Perhaps those attacking enemies held out for another half a minute to know that the German superiority in firepower was gone. But fortunately, this wave of extravagant counterattacks arranged by Hu Bin made the commander on the opposite side misjudge their strength. The battle between the two sides was delayed until the night, which allowed Hu Bin's goal to be successfully achieved, because night was the combat environment he needed most.
The paratroopers who had been fighting for a whole day were not prepared or energetic to launch a night attack, they needed enough rest to face the next large-scale German counterattack, and the remnants of the army led by Hu Bin seemed to them to be nothing more than a disease of ringworm, anyway, as long as they held the bridge in the city, and waited until the landing force opened up the situation on the coast, they would get a steady stream of support. But Hu Bin obviously wouldn't let them rest so comfortably, and he refused Byrne's request to accompany him, and disappeared into the night alone with a sniper rifle.
Although the blessing of the moon god has little effect in this world, the innate hidden talent in the half-elf bloodline still plays a role, which makes Hu Bin a little surprised by the powerful effect of the bloodline. Under the cover of moonlight, Hu Bin slipped lightly into the area occupied by the Allied forces, and with the help of the terrain information he had discovered during the daytime battle, he found a very hidden sniper point in a nearby building.
Just as Hu Bin laid the camouflage net and was about to start seeking the enemy, the space prompt sounded, Hu Bin activated the prompt suspiciously, and the content on it shocked his spirit, there were actually three designated targets into his reconnaissance range, and the space made obvious marks for those three targets in a timely manner.
"Three, it looks like we're going to have to pick a new sniper spot." Hu Bin said as he put away the camouflage net that had just been laid, carefully avoided the patrolling sentinels, and exited the building to continue deeper.
Christianity is very prevalent in Europe, and of course there is such a small church in this small city, although the bell tower here is dirty and narrow, but Hu Bin has not cared at all to lie on this natural vantage point, he has been lurking here for two hours, and the only French priest who could find him has been cut down by Hu Bin with a sapper shovel without mercy.
Such a long period of lurking allowed Hu Bin to lock on to the location of the three designated targets, they were wearing the same military uniforms as ordinary airborne division soldiers, although there was no unusual behavior, but Hu Bin but Hu Hu still saw some clues after a long period of observation. Although one of them was not outstanding, he looked very relaxed when holding a submachine gun, Hu Bin knew that the weight of the submachine gun was not clear, and although an ordinary soldier could hold it with one hand, he would definitely not be as free as that person. Not to mention the other two, it was an unusual thing to be able to walk with that guy with a lot of strength. And Hu Bin felt a sense of familiarity from those three guys. He thought for a long time before he understood where this familiarity came from, and the movements of the three of them were like those numbered people who had not been systematically trained in military affairs, and they seemed very incongruous despite their good physical fitness.
"Damn, what kind of existence does space want us to deal with?" Hu Bin has complained more than once, and the details that the three people inadvertently showed showed that the strength of these people was definitely not weaker than that of the numberer, and as for whether there was a means like the numberer, Hu Bin was not sure, so he was not in a hurry to do it.
It has been a long time since the bell rang at ten o'clock, and the huge bell before made Hu Bin, who was lurking in the bell tower, feel very uncomfortable. But it also gave him a pretty good idea, which was worth continuing to lurk in this horrible bell tower.
Just after eleven o'clock, the bell of the church bell tower rang on time, and Hu Bin tried to control his gun hand not to shake with the bell, and took advantage of the second bell to pull the trigger fiercely. The bullet didn't hit any of the enemies, but flew through the night sky and flew there. But Hu Bin's purpose had been achieved, and under the prying eyes of the scope, the three targets did not react to the gunfire just now, and the sound of the sniper rifle firing well was well covered by the bell. In this way, Hu Bin can move on to the next step.
Hu Bin's pupils twitched slightly. Eagle Vision had been turned on by him, and the sight of the scope was quickly caught in the head of the guy Hu Bin thought was the most threatening of the three targets, and Hu Bin believed that if the shot hit the unprotected head vital point, even the numbered person would not escape.
"Goddess Protection! Boom. Hu Bin said that he had never been so devout to the goddess Elune as he was at this moment. And as if Elune had really fooled him, the bullet hit the target's head with precision, and opened a hole through it, and at this time. The sixth bell has just fallen.
The kill went smoothly, the target hung up without saying a word, and a hint of a successful kill came from the space. Hu Bin was really stunned for a moment this time, although he knew that this shot was nine out of ten, but it was still a little unbelievable that he really easily killed a target worth 100 ratings and 30 kills.
The companion's head blossomed in front of him, which made the other two guys explode. However, the sound of the bell made Hu Bin's gunfire not attract the attention of the other enemies, and the two guys also did not find out where the bullets came from, but they were not slow to react, and immediately found more cover, and shouted "sniper" loudly, as if this could scare the enemy away.
Hu Bin quietly pulled the bolt, a Cheng Liang bullet case was faded out, and new bullets were re-fed into the chamber, but Hu Bin knew very well that once he aroused the alert of those two targets, it would be difficult to find the same opportunity as before.
But things are not absolute, seeing the soldiers of the nearby airborne division slowly gathering here, the two guys seem to be a lot bolder, and they actually dare to show their heads to check the situation nearby. Hu Bin sneered and put the head of one of them into the crosshairs, and before the last bell rang at eleven o'clock, he shot decisively.
But this time the goddess of nature did not favor Hu Bin, the murderer, although the bullet bounced off the target's helmet, but there was nothing to gain except to scare the other party. Misfortune is not a single line, it may be that this shot was fired in a hurry, the end of the sound was not completely covered by the bell, for a while many pairs of eyes swept to the direction where Hu Bin was, and the most suspicious bell tower became the focus of those soldiers' eyes. Hu Bin felt a little bad after firing, and through the scope, he saw that the target who had escaped was looking at him. His intuition told Hu that he had been exposed, but he pulled the bolt of the gun without hesitation and loaded the third bullet into the chamber.
"Demacia!" Hu Bin shouted a slogan of unknown meaning in a deep voice and pulled the trigger fiercely. (To be continued......)
