Chapter 9: Shot
I'm sorry to everyone, I reorganized my thinking some time ago, and today I started to resume normal updates.
ββββ
Major Ashm's promise successfully boosted the morale of the German soldiers, and the Allied forces in the encirclement suddenly became more difficult.
"Phew, bah, bah."
Behind the low wall, a brown-haired young man with a left part, quickly shrunk his head and hid behind the low wall, followed by a shuttle of bullets, which hit the low wall with a terrifying muffled sound.
The brown-haired young man spat a few times from the dust kicked up by the shell, and then pulled the bolt of the gun. In his hand is a Mauser kar98K rifle, which is very common in the army, but the gun has an extra 4x scope, which has obviously been converted into a sniper rifle, and just now, this gun has successfully harvested the life of a German machine gunner.
"Barnes! Well done! Let's see if we can take out that German fat major with one shot. β
A bearded man with the rank of lieutenant glanced at the brown-haired young man, and the meaning in his eyes looked very satisfied.
"It's a bit difficult to do this, the fire on the opposite side is too fierce, and I was knocked back before I could aim." The young man seemed familiar with the guns, and his mouth responded.
Both of them were wearing Allied uniforms, and the young man had an epaulette with the rank of sergeant on his shoulder, and next to them, there were more than a dozen Allied soldiers, each hiding behind a low wall, resisting the German attack.
"This is not the way to go, and if we wait for the German reinforcements to feel it, none of us will want to leave."
The bearded lieutenant frowned and spoke fluent American English. From time to time, he grabbed the rifle in his hand and fired in the direction of the Germans.
Their luck was not good, although they were discovered by the Germans, but the other side did not carry heavy weapons such as artillery. As for the grenades carried, they were not numerous, and they had already been used up after blowing up the remaining upper half of the wall of the house, and at the moment both sides relied on guns to shoot at each other, but in terms of numbers and firepower, it was clear that the Germans had the upper hand.
The allies on the bearded side. Only sixteen men, who had been suppressed by grenades and machine guns as they had previously prepared for a breakout. Three were killed on the spot, two were seriously wounded, and it was already the last breath left, and the remaining lightly wounded were still fighting stubbornly. It's just that the amount of ammunition is obviously not enough for them to continue to hold on for too long.
The situation on the battlefield at the moment is a little less optimistic. The Allies were already at a disadvantage, and the German army led by the fat major gained the upper hand more and more.
"I can't be like this, I have to find a way to break through."
The bearded officer was very anxious, and it was undoubtedly his own side that would collapse first if he continued to grind, but he had already made a breakthrough before, and was pressed back under the strong fire of the Germans, and lost several soldiers. At this moment, the other party is vigilant, and the difficulty of breaking through is probably even more difficult.
"Are you going to be here today?"
The bearded lieutenant glanced around unwillingly. The surviving soldiers were still fighting stubbornly, none of them flinched, he was the commander of this team, naturally he couldn't bear to see these young people die in vain, but at this moment, he couldn't think of any solution.
At this moment, a gunshot rang out, but it became inaudible in the gunfire of the two sides shooting at each other, and most of the people present did not notice, but the German fat major, who was still scolding or something just now, suddenly fell silent.
Louis, who was enduring the other party's nagging and looking down for a lighter for the fat major, suddenly heard the other party quiet, and suddenly felt that his ears were much clearer, and then he also found his bullet-shaped lighter from his pocket - and a pack of R6 cigarettes, and was about to hand it to the other party, when he looked up, he was stunned.
"Major, your lighter...... Oh, my God. β
In Louis's dull gaze, the chubby Major Asham, whom he had secretly cursed N times in his heart, maintained a disgusted expression at the moment, and then froze, and on the side of his temple, a black hole appeared, and a small stream of blood was slowly flowing down.
"Could it be that my curse has worked? God above, this has nothing to do with me, I'm just talking about it casually! β
Poor German Private Louis was frightened, did not come back to his senses for a while, and thought that his curse was in effect, and then several gunshots rang out again, and the healthy soldier who was still holding a submachine gun just now trembled and fell, maintaining an expression of disbelief on his face, and his left eye turned into a bloody hole.
There were two other machine gunners who fell down together, and all three of them were killed almost simultaneously, and the characteristic sound of the submachine gun stopped, and the original tense atmosphere was suddenly broken.
"There are enemies!"
"The enemy is behind us!"
"The Heavy is dead, Karen, Du Debao, they're all dead!"
The German soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly there was an uproar and became a little confused. One by one, they bowed their heads, each looking for cover, and at the same time fastened the steel helmets they had touched directly to their headsβa few soldiers had just felt a little uncomfortable and took off their steel helmets.
Everyone looked around vigilantly, obviously at this moment, an enemy with good marksmanship blended in behind their own side, and took the opportunity to kill their commander and machine gunner in the battle, and all of them were killed with one shot, this sense of crisis like the sword of Damocles hanging overhead, suddenly enveloped everyone's hearts.
Not only Louis, but the rest of the German soldiers were also apprehensive, and Louis, who reacted, directly touched a shiny brand new submachine gun from the fallen body of the fat major, and then hid behind the big tree next to him.
"God forbid." Louis silently drew the cross in his mind.
On the other side, the Allied forces that were suppressed to the death, when the accident happened, they noticed that the firepower of the German army had suddenly decreased a lot, and the brown-haired youth, who was relatively bold, took the risk of stretching out his head to look at the situation outside, and his face was suddenly full of strangeness.
"What's going on out there?"
Seeing the brown-haired youth retract his head, the bearded lieutenant kicked the brown-haired youth's ass and asked in a low voice.
"Dead, that fat officer, and three machine gunners, all dead!" The brown-haired young man, with a strange face, told what he had seen.
"All dead? Barnes: Are you sure you're not kidding? It was fine just now, how could it be that he died suddenly. The soldier next to him was visibly unconvinced.
Barnes pouted: "You can see for yourself, the body of the fat officer is lying there, I know the rank of the German army, it is the major, yes, there are three machine gunners, the corpses are all lying next to the machine gun, you pay attention to the position of the head." β
The bearded lieutenant, who had been a little skeptical of Barnes's words, took a second look at the situation outside, and immediately had to believe this fact, as if the light of God had suddenly favored them, and the German officer, who was the greatest threat to them and the first target of the attack, was all killed by a mysterious man.
This strange scene can be said to be a respite for the Allied forces that have been suppressed, the submachine guns held by the three machine gunners suddenly fell silent at this moment, and a hole suddenly appeared in the German fire network.
Fortunately, the bearded man was not so stupid as to really think that God favored his side, but judged that someone was helping them, although he didn't know if it was a friendly army, but in the face of the situation at this moment, the appearance of this mysterious person was no less than a ray of hope for them.
"Let's see what's going on."
The bearded man didn't rush forward, but decided to observe the situation first, to see if Zhang Yang was here alone, or if he was a sentry of the allied or third-party troops, and then formulate the corresponding situation. (To be continued......)
