Chapter 192: The Tiger Descends the Mountain
Mendelev was directing his recruited tankers to bombard the enemy, and as a commander of an Allied M18 Hellcat anti-tank destroyer, this situation may not be inappropriate for his profession, but only Mendelev himself knew how bad such a routine was for him.
A small second-hand apartment, a car that can still run, a position as a small clerk in a company, a constant work and rest time, a caring wife, and an uneasy bear child. These things made up Menderev's life before that, and if you want to describe it in two words, the word "ordinary" could not be more appropriate. But unlike most people who are not satisfied with the status quo, Mendelev is a typical present, peaceful and ordinary life that may always be tormenting to others, but it is a very satisfying gift for him.
But fate is always willing to play a joke on people, and Mendelev wins the jackpot in a chance raffle, and the whole family can travel abroad for free for a week. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the ordinary life he had always insisted on, but his wife's happy expression and the child's longing eyes made him unable to refuse this sudden invitation, and the family took a civil aviation to prepare for the destination.
On the plane, Mendelev's son managed to stop without causing him any trouble, but ......
"Daddy, behold, there are so many birds!" Little Tom pointed to the birds outside the side window of the plane and shouted innocently, but Mendelev turned his head with a hellish expression.
A migratory bird the size of a mallard duck was swept up in the plane's turbine engine and turned into a cloud of blood spraying out of the air outlet, and the plane's turbine caught fire and smoked and quickly lost power. The nose of the plane began to sag, and at the same time, the turbulent air flow caused the fuselage to spin sideways, and the fuselage, which could not resist the huge torque, finally made a terrible cracking sound, and the half tail of the Mendelev family fell off.
After waking up from the darkness that swirled around, Mendelev found himself and several others thrown into a world full of zombies, much like a horror movie he had seen before. Since then, Mendelev has known that his former life is gone. After going through several trials of life and death. He had almost forgotten what an ordinary life was like, and all that awaited him was fight after battle, until he became numb. Mendelev did not resent the main god who caused all this, this is also due to his character, if it were not for the main god, he would have died in that plane crash long ago. He only occasionally misses his old life, just like it is now.
"The enemy has discovered us!" The gunner, seeing from the aiming hole, saw that the enemy's muzzle was slowly aiming at them, and hurriedly shouted loudly, interrupting Mendelev's distraction during the battle.
"Retreat and use the hillside to avoid the enemy's shells." Mendelev, who returned to reality, quickly gave the order. Three seconds later. A shell hit the hillside in front of their battlecar. Stirred up a large cloud of dust. "Take advantage of the enemy's reload and counterattack!"
"Fire!" Although the caliber of the M18 gun was not large, its accuracy and rate of fire were extremely impressive, which was completely sufficient against the German army, which consisted mainly of tanks No. 3 and No. 4. A tank No. 3 was hit hard in front armor by Hellcat. The engine stopped working with a whimper. Hellcats did not continue to be greedy, but quickly withdrew their previous mountain pack and evaded, their position had already been noticed by the enemy, and perhaps it was time to consider the transfer.
The fierce fighting made the barrels of the guns that were constantly firing hot, the tank's compartment was as hot as a steamer, and the mutual shelling of his own and enemy tanks filled the battlefield with a lot of noise, but it could not stop Mendeleev from continuing his distraction.
"What made you decide to survive in this most hated environment?" Mendeleev thought. "Maybe it's the words of the veteran contractor in the second mission world who is willing to sacrifice himself to protect the others."
"I was scared, scared to death. But fear is not a reason to escape. Here's what the contractor told Mendeleev to his rookies who had just gone through the rookie selection task. When the veteran fell on the way to the mission, Mendeleev, who had lost his asylum, felt unprecedented fear.
Sometimes, fear is also a kind of power, and this power allows Mendeleev to shatter the bland world he has been creating in his fantasy since he entered the main god space, and makes him understand how cruel reality is. Mendeleev began his struggle. In order to resurrect himself and his wife and daughter, in order to return to the world with an ordinary life. With such determination, and with a little luck, Mendeleev has survived to the present and has become one of the few veterans in the main god space.
After the release of this optional mission, few veterans are willing to try in this large-scale war world of unknown difficulty, and for them, saving their lives is the first thing to guarantee. But Mendeleev didn't hesitate to join the mission, and the world could potentially give itself access to World War II-era technology, which was crucial to his ascent of the tech tree, and undoubtedly helped his ultimate goal.
But Mendeleev now regrets a little, since he entered this world, he began to run out of bad luck. First of all, his transport plane was damaged in the airborne mission, which caused him to parachute early to save his life, and after losing all the team members, his rank of captain, which he had spent a lot of money to obtain, became an ornament.
Perhaps fate didn't want to play with this toy too quickly, but Mendeleev, who was about the same as a road idiot, chose a direction that was not occupied by the German army, but a small city controlled by his own airborne forces. After getting supplies and lodging in the city, Mendeleev breathed a sigh of relief and prepared for a good rest. But immediately after that, the news of the German counterattack on the city was received, and the tired body had to be dragged into the battle. Relying on the combat awareness accumulated in several mission worlds, Mendeleev killed many German soldiers, but he was not harmed in the slightest, and he did not even use the protective talisman he bought with insurance.
After a night's rest to regain his strength, Mendeleev asked the Allied commander for a map and left the city early to go to his unit, a decision that saved him from death. Later, I heard from other contractors that the town was then confronted by a terrible intruder sniper, and many contractors were killed, including many veterans. Mendeleev was overjoyed by this news, and news of the fall of the town by the Germans came in the following days.
Mendeleev, who found his unit, missed the best opportunity to accumulate military merits, but with the experience of a veteran contractor and the rank of captain, he still managed to get mixed up with a Hellcat anti-tank tank. With this small, pocket-looking tank, Mendeleev already had ten tanks destroyed, as long as he tried to kill a few more vehicles. He will be able to complete the main quest of this ring.
Mendeleev, who finally recovered from his memories, found that his tankmen had driven their tankers to a safe position, and thanks to the high concealment of the Hellcats, they could snipe the enemy here without being detected.
Mendeleev's left flank was mostly high-speed vehicles like hellcats, and although the armor was very weak, it was not surprising that the Allies were fighting as well as they were now, thanks to their superiority in numbers and firepower. The friendly forces on the right flank were stubbornly resisted by the Germans under the same circumstances, and although they had the upper hand, they achieved far less results than on the left flank, but anything could happen on the battlefield. The command attributed this phenomenon to luck.
But Mendeleev always felt that something was wrong. With his battlefield intuition skills, his perception ability has been greatly enhanced. Instinct told him that danger was looming on him.
"Avoid it urgently, and pay attention to the surrounding situation." A roar of rage blurted out, and the Hellcat driver slammed on the accelerator. Let the chariot run out.
A 105 mm grenade exploded in the same position where Hellcat was standing, and the Hellcat's skin covered by the aftermath was cut by shrapnel, but it finally picked up a life. But Mendeleev did not rejoice in this, because his instinct told him that the feeling of danger was even stronger.
A large-caliber high-explosive armor-piercing shell pierced the side of the Hellcat into the compartment, and was consumed by the outer armor of the vehicle, killing the signal soldier and loader, and the shell jammed on the armor on the other side. Mendeleev, who was already preparing for the explosion, heard the gunners hissing and shouting "the shells did not explode".
Mendeleev, who had regained his life, turned all his fear of death into boundless rage. Red-eyed, he poked his head into the observation hole and began to search for the enemy, only to find a huge figure approaching him at a rapid speed.
"Hurry up!" Mendelev shouted loudly, only to be told that the engine was damaged, and the driver desperately fired the light, but the engine just didn't move.
"Eat me Big Deutsche CQC (Ramming Melee Attack)." Mendeleev heard the Tiger driver excitedly shouting slogans. Stepping on the accelerator sent the Tiger down the hill, and before the targeted Hellcat could react, he crashed head-on.
The crews of both vehicles felt a violent shaking, with the difference that the Tiger only shook slightly, while the Hellcat was pushed out for a long distance, and although it escaped the fate of rolling over, one of the tracks and the fuel tank were damaged.
Seeing that the Tiger waved the barrel of the gun for a long time without firing the cannon, Mendeleev finally knew which bastard could hit the cannon just now, and while the Tiger had not finished loading, Mendeleev gave the gunner an order to fight back to the death, but he opened the escape door under the car and prepared to evacuate.
Eighty percent of fate was tired of Mendeleev's clumsy performance, and just as he opened the escape door to escape, Hellcat's gunner fired a shot at the Tiger that was close at hand. There was no doubt that the shell was blown away by the armor of the Tiger front, but the violent vibration caused by the opening of the cannon caused the high-explosive armor-piercing projectile that had been embedded in the carriage to fall off.
Mendeleev watched as the shell fell into the open escape door, causing his already outstretched foot to retract in an instant. Leaning against the inner wall of the carriage, Mendeleev quietly took out the pocket watch around his neck, which was an ordinary item he brought back to the space with his clothes after the plane crash, and every time he saw a photo of his wife and children behind the lid of the pocket watch, he remembered the peaceful life of his previous life. A happy and contented expression appeared on Mendeleev's countenance, but a mocking smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
"If I were given another chance, I would ......"
The Tiger 88mm caliber gun roared again, the upper part of the Hellcat was directly pierced by a high-explosive armor-piercing bullet with amazing penetration, the detonation of the ammunition rack made the turret fly directly into the sky, and the dud bomb under the car was also detonated by a piece of debris, and the remaining oil in the fuel tank then exploded, and the wreckage of the body was instantly burned into a ball.
"What a firework!" The gunner Ferre exclaimed, while Hu Bin and Stallone were lucky to receive a prompt to kill the contractor.
The tiger-style carriage was filled with smoke, for this surprise attack, Hu Bin took out the cigarette given to him by the sniper instructor, and the cigarette that originally only increased a person's perception quickly turned into a cloud of smoke after Hu Bin took it out and lit it. If the crew of the tiger is digitized. It can be seen that their perception after coming into contact with this cloud of smoke has skyrocketed by 5 points, and Ferrey relied on this 5-point perception bonus to actually hit the target in the mobile shot, which allowed Stallone to avoid the embarrassment of being discovered by the enemy and escaping when he practiced the impact tactic.
Unfortunately, the smoke only lasted less than a minute before slowly dissipating, and all three shells fired by Ferrey during this time hit the target. A large number of German tanks came to support the left flank of the Allied tank army at the right time, and Hu Bin and his tiger rushed into a group of Allied crispy chariots, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep from the mountains, with the sound of a threatening ricocheting, with two shells to eliminate the enemy in this area.
Anti-tank artillery in ambush in the rear opened fire one after another, causing heavy losses to the Allied light tanks fleeing in a hurry. The decline of the German right flank was reversed by a sudden ambush.
Allied radio. The dying screams of the crew of the tank on the left flank and the panicked cries for help rang out. in the command vehicle. The Allied commander was stunned and unable to say a word on the spot. He knew that everyone on the left flank was finished, that the light tanks that had gone too deep were cut off by the enemy, and that they were still being flanked by others had tasted the taste of being flanked, even if they had the speed to be flanked. It was only a matter of time before they were encapsulated by the enemy's superior forces.
The loss of the entire left flank shifted the initiative of the battle to the Germans, and the German chariots that came to support quickly broke the resistance of the remaining enemy chariots, quickly split in two, one part of the friendly forces on their right flank continued to advance, and the other part crossed the battlefield to support the battle in the center.
But Hu Bin's Tiger Pose stopped in place and did not move, Stallone and Hu Bin sat in the carriage and looked at each other, they had just received a temporary mission from the space.
"Mission Name: Fateful Choice
Difficulty: Unknown
Description: The Dead Contractor*** (REDACTED) made a promise to the gods before he died, and a certain god responded to him as the one to kill him. Numberer 000003 (000471) is willing to follow the will of a god to redeem the soul of an enemy and help him become a qualified numberer (yes/no).
Reward: Faith Crystal Fragment*1. ”
This is the second time that Hu Bin has received this type of mission, the previous time he received the revenge mission of the dead numberer in the dungeon of Ozarkta in Saruman, and it can be said that space borrowed its own hands to achieve some purpose, this time a certain god actually began to blatantly intervene in the task of the numberer, Hu Bin found that the covenant relationship between space and the gods was not as loose as he thought before.
"What god would be interested in the soul of a contractor?" Hu Bin secretly figured out that although the goddess of nature he believed in was not a small suspect. But Hu Bin thinks that the goddess will not make such a roundabout gesture, and if she is interested in it, she will contact Hu Bin directly instead of achieving her goal in the form of space missions. The problem is not with himself, then it will only be Stallone.
Thinking of this, Hu Bin was still a little surprised, you must know that although there are no hard requirements for the gods to choose the numbered person to become a dependent, not everyone can be selected. Although the two maintained a good tacit understanding when they cooperated, Hu Bin had never explored the specific strength of Stallone, and now it seems that that guy is not a simple character. "You come or I'll come." Stallone asked, looking at him.
Hu Bin shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't care, and then received a prompt from Stallone to give up the mission.
"The main mercenary mission hasn't been completed yet, I don't have the energy to take care of these things, it's up to you." Stallone said nonchalantly.
