Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 37: Play against (2)
"Hold on, boys, fire in the direction of the flash, just like in training."
Babel threw a grenade at a bush not far away, then picked up Thomson and shot a long shot.
His attack was immediately rewarded, and the irritable sergeant was instantly surrounded by hot bullets.
"Damn!"
Babel was too late to spit at the ground as usual, he just clearly felt a bullet flying past his temple.
The bush on top of my head was cut short as if swept by a chainsaw, and the broken branches and leaves that splashed around like shrapnel hurt my neck.
Babel reached the limit of his physical abilities at that moment. The previous trainings that were strictly to the cruel degree also played an effect at this time. That huge to a little too strong body turned out to be even a gymnast. Breathtaking action.
Sergeant Babel holding his submachine gun rolled against the ground at an alarming speed, and his comrades in a foxhole squatting five meters away from him could only feel a huge black shadow passing overhead. , And then plunged headlong into a natural ditch.
Sergeant 's wonderful tactical action personal performance made all the audience unceasingly applaud.
"Damn it, Babel, what are you jumping in for?"
The aboriginal people in the ditch obviously did not appreciate the wonderful performance in front of the sergeant, and seemed to be very angry at this invasion of their own territory.
"I'm sorry, sir."
Babel is rarely so low-pitched, who makes the other party his immediate superior.
"We must retreat now, sir, this is a trap. If we do not retreat, we will all be killed in this dirty bush."
Babel lifted up and glanced out of the ditch. A few clouds of dust rose up on the edge of the ditch, and the sergeant quickly retracted his head.
"Sir, we are all exposed to the firepower of the enemy. If this goes on, we will all be finished."
Babel said loudly.
"You don't need to remind me of this, Sergeant."
Major Todd glared viciously at this noisy man.
Yes, now everyone knows that he was in an ambush this time.
And in Todd's eyes, this is obviously a well-designed trap, and the other party is not prepared to give himself a chance to escape.
In this case, Todd told himself that he must remain calm, and any blind decision may result in the destruction of the entire army.
But the situation in front of him makes it difficult for him to calm down. Judging from the gunshots from all directions, this force has been surrounded, but he is not clear about the opponent’s strength, firepower distribution, or even the exact location. .
The flares illuminate the surroundings of the British army, but the Germans are hidden in the dark night. Only the flashing muzzle flames prove their existence.
Getting into a passive beating situation is the most dangerous for a unit. The unit is on the verge of collapse, and morale is rapidly decreasing with the increase in casualties. If it weren’t for these soldiers who had received rigorous training, they were stronger than ordinary people. Will, this battle should be over long ago.
"We must retreat, to be precise, break through, but the question is where do we break through."
Todd poked his finger at the map on the back of the signal soldier.
"We can't even figure out the exact location of the enemy now."
"Sir, we at least know where we are. We are here now, with hills and bushes nearby. We should take advantage of the night to break out of the sea. If we are lucky, we should be able to rush out."
Commando squad leader Lieutenant Vincent said loudly.
"The Germans have not yet compressed their encirclement. The night is also affecting them, and they keep firing flares, indicating that they want to trap us here."
Commando Squadron Captain Fent replaced his Thomson with a new drum.
"The battle line has stabilized, and the number of Germans seems to be low, otherwise they would have rushed over. Now they are still shooting in the dark, which shows that they are not sure to eat us in one bite."
"I feel the same way, so we must break through before the German reinforcements come up."
"The situation can't get worse, sir, please make a decision quickly. We have lost contact with the headquarters. Now only you lead us out of this trap."
"We are running out of ammunition, and the front will soon collapse. The soldiers have suffered a lot of casualties. Make a decision quickly, sir."
Facing the earnest words and eager eyes of his men, Todd lowered his head.
"Well, just do this, we break through to the south."
Todd made a decision.
"South? Sir, but the sea is west of us."
Fendt's eyes widened in surprise.
"South, I believe that we can only safely break through from that direction."
Todd pointed to the map and said.
"The Germans prepared a trap for us, and they will definitely think that we will break through. According to the usual thinking, we will definitely go in the direction of coming, which is to break through the beach. Therefore, the Germans will definitely set up in the west Heavy soldiers, as you all know, cutting off the enemy’s retreat and encircling annihilation is the German favorite tactic. So..."
Todd jabs the map fiercely.
"If we break through from the west, we will never reach the beach."
"I understand, sir. I will convey your order immediately."
Vincent said loudly.
"Well, gather the troops quietly, and don't let the Germans discover our intentions. When the troops are concentrated, we will break through to the south. Fortunately, this is an island. As long as we reach the seashore, we are half succeeded. Understand? "
"Understood, sir."
"For the king, for the empire, for the honor of Gomande."
"For the king, for the empire, for the honor."
After the two officers saluted Todd, they rolled out of the ditch quickly and flexibly slid into the bushes on the side. The German machine gun bullets attracted by the movement raised a piece of bullets on the side of the ditch. Soot.
The gunfire of the British return fire became intense, and the only two 50mm mortars of the commando also started their first and last rapid fire.
Five or six fireballs suddenly rose up from the German position in the dark, and the German's headless shooting suddenly became messy.
The two small British mortars never fired in the previous battle, because they only carried 20 rounds of ammunition. The weak and unsustainable firepower of these two light mortars is for the current one. Fighting is nothing but a drop in the bucket.
The more important point is that the German artillery has so far only been madly pouring flares into the sky. If the German artillery counterattacks due to the attack of these two mortars, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The attacks that the British army has suffered so far are only light weapons from the German army. Because of this, the commando has been able to resist until now. If the heavy weapons of the German army are provoked, it will be really worth the loss at this time. Up.
However, the situation is different now. The British army needs to gather the troops scattered in the bushes to break through.
And the Germans’ machine guns and rifles fired so much that the soldiers couldn’t raise their heads at all, and every maneuver was a risk.
Many soldiers can only shoot blindly at each other while holding their submachine guns on the ground. In this case, they cannot gather troops.
Todd is determined to temporarily suppress the frontal German firepower even if it will trigger a German artillery attack, even if it only takes ten seconds.
Because if they don’t break through now, they will never have a chance to rush out.
It's four o'clock in the morning, and the sky will soon be bright.
If they haven't run to the beach before dawn, it doesn't matter if they are bombarded by Germans~IndoMTL.com~ because they will be hunted one by one by the Germans on this **** little island.
Todd never thought that there is a way to surrender. There is no such concept in his mind. He follows the old creed that dying on the battlefield for the king is the highest glory of the British soldier.
He believes that his men will resist to the last breath just like him, because they are elites, Gomanders, and the most loyal fighters of His Majesty the King.
The German army was really dumbfounded by the sudden explosion. Not only did the shooting become messy, even the firing of the flares stopped, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
The German soldiers didn't understand what happened. Except for the positions that were directly attacked, the troops in other directions didn't even figure out where the previous attack came from. Many machine guns even started shooting randomly into the air.
Looking at the flare bullets flying all over the sky, the British soldiers smiled for the first time, these stupid German fools.
The chaos of the German army did not last. The Germans are not stupid. They quickly discovered the truth. So the flares once again covered the sky above the British, and the dense and accurate shooting once again ravaged the bush. .
Different from the previous ones, some mortar shells have been added to the attack, with the label of Rhein Steel. ~ IndoMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all available~ IndoMTL.com~
