Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
In a trench, two German soldiers were opening their cans with mouth openers. After the capture of Tobruk and the German paratroopers killing the Quartet on the Crete, the supply of the African legion became smooth. In addition to being able to transport a sufficient number of consumables such as shells and bullets, German soldiers in Africa were also able to Get a lot of luxury goods that I didn't dare to think about.
The enemy they are in is the abandoned trenches of the British. There were once 110 British soldiers stationed here, but now the Germans have occupied it, and a 88 mm cannon has been rearranged not far away to protect the British Counterattack, and the main task of this machine gun group is to protect the flanks of the 88mm cannon.
An mg42 general-purpose machine gun is mounted on a new tripod, and the bullet chain hangs on the side of the machine gun. In this state, the "Akado saw" can be used temporarily as a heavy machine gun, or it can be used as an air defense weapon at a certain angle. .
The two German soldiers are old fritters on the North African battlefield. They alone opened their baby cans carefully, and the other poured warm water into the stir-fried noodles and mixed them evenly. This magical method of making fried noodles is said to come from the far east, and the taste is not very good, but it is easier to carry. On the front line, you can use all kinds of stuffed cooked powdered food, and once there is no way to stop to prepare food, it can relieve all the problems that trouble you: eat without heating, and grab anytime When you lie down, it also has a certain buffer function when you lie down quickly!
In hot North Africa, if you do n’t want to eat cold food, it is very simple to find ways to make the food warmer. Just put the food or kettle on the sunny stone and wait for a while, you can get warm water or food.
"Aren't we already defeated the British mainland? Why did they even lose their home and fight with us in such a ghost place?" The younger soldier stirred his fried noodles and took a piece of veteran hand him The fat canned pieces of meat were thrown into the mushy fried noodles, and they licked their fingers with their tongues, complaining.
The veteran took the fried noodles that his companion handed him. The canned food, which was also a mixture of meat and beans, was poured into his lunch box, stirred a few times with a folding spoon, and then said unconsciously, "The British do not see We are used to us Germans, so we always have to fight a war. One of the two countries must fall before it is over. "
"Boom!" Before waiting to eat a bite of food, the 88-mm anti-aircraft cannon not far away gave a deafening roar, and the huge gunpowder wave rolled up a lot of sand and dust, leaving the two ready to eat German soldiers are disgraced.
"British army counterattacked!" On the side of the trench, a German signal soldier supported his steel helmet, carrying his rifle bent over the machine gun position, and loudly reminded his companion: "There is an armored vehicle cover, ready to fight!"
"This group of Englishmen! Doesn't even one meal taste delicious?" A spoon was used to pick up a large lunch, and the gulp was stuffed into his mouth. The veteran put down the lunch box and used wooden boards and sandbags from the wall. The fortified trench stretched out his head, and not far away, a large black mass of British soldiers was slowly approaching the German position here.
"Good guy! It seems that there are three or five hundred people, a battalion of infantry, and an armored car, this is to kill us!" The veteran leaned his shoulder on the of the machine gun, and pulled the bolt with his hand. He tilted his head a bit and put his eyes behind the sight.
This set of actions was a short period of time. On the German artillery position, the second shell had flew out of the 88mm cannon's slender barrel with the whistling. The terrifying rate of fire has a disintegrating penetrating power. The German 88mm cannon became the two treasures of the armored force's nemesis. In the sparsely populated desert, the Germans with such cannons use backward weapons than the opposite. British soldiers are lucky.
"Boo!" As the opponent continued to approach, a German soldier pulled his trigger on a position in the distance. The first to fire was a Mauser 98k rifle. This weapon undoubtedly has a certain range in range. The advantages.
"Open the ammunition box under your feet and prepare the chain first!" The veteran commanded the young man around him: "The enemy is about 900 meters away!"
The slightly younger deputy shooter bent down, opened the tin box, pulled out the neatly stacked chains, and placed it in the most convenient position. Then he silently took off the grenade and placed it next to the chain.
"Machine gun! Fire!" Not far away, the platoon leader of the infantry platoon shouted the command of the attack, the voice had not landed, the veteran's finger slightly pressed, this mg42 machine gun roared crazy, because the rate of fire was too high For the quick reason, the chain hanging on the gun next to it jumped up and down with a huge attraction, and the shell on the other side was like a raindrop, and it fell on the veteran's feet.
It was still the unique sound, or it did n’t sound good, like the sound of sawing wood or tearing linen. But for the German soldiers, this is the most beautiful melody, this is the most exciting and beautiful note. Because every time I heard this sound, there was a torrent of hot steel flying towards the enemy's position, and the dense crowd like hail hit the opponent's head.
For German soldiers, this weapon is the whip of God, the sickle of the devil, and a gift from the head of state. No machine gun is comparable to the mg42 machine gun. This weapon is arguably one of the most perfect machine gun design schemes. You know that 80 years later, the Germans still use similar machine guns, and the original mg42 is still in Africa. Shining on the front line.
The dense bullets formed a rain of bullets and swept towards the British soldiers on the opposite side. The tracer accurately indicated the position of the trajectory and the target. The veteran slightly moved his shoulder laterally, and the barrage of the machine gun formed a fan shape, which will attract more British soldiers Overthrow.
Soon some of the British offensive formations on the opposite side fell, and the British also began to fire at the German position, bullets hit the sand near the trenches, and a white smoke splashed. However, the white smoke seemed to be a bit far from the German machine gun position, with a distance of more than ten meters. At this time, the 88-mm cannon fired again.
The cannonball hit the British armored vehicle in the distance with a roar, and the huge impact of the front face of the armored vehicle changed its shape. The armored car exploded and burned immediately, and the people inside had no chance of escaping the car. The power of the explosion did not seem small, and even the German positions hundreds of meters away were clearly seen.
"Oh!" There was a cheer on the German position. Obviously the huge explosion was helpful to the improvement of German morale, and the wonderful performance of the 88mm cannon was enough to deter opponents and make this attack an anticlimax. But obviously the Germans were destined to be disappointed this time, because after an armored car of the British was destroyed, the British did not flinch, but launched a more aggressive attack.
"Medical soldiers! Someone was hit!" As time went on, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer. Casualties began to appear on the German position. The first poor German soldier who was hit was hit in the face. He was directly punched through the head, and there was no need to rescue him anymore. The second soldier hit was not so simple. He was hit in the shoulder and gave a screaming heartbreak.
His companion was calling for help from the medical soldiers. Two medical soldiers with white red crosses on their arms supported the helmets and hurried to the accident site with the medicine chest. They passed this machine gun position and happened to be a medical soldier. A stray bullet hit, scaring the assistant shooter who was helping to load the machine gun ammunition, almost lost the chain in his hand.
However, the medical soldier who was hit was obviously lucky, and the bullet penetrated his sleeve, leaving two holes, but did not hit the arm in his sleeve or hurt other parts.
"God bless you!" He smiled, and then continued to support his helmet forward, leaving the dumbfounded deputy shooter where he didn't know what to say.
"This is a common thing, don't pay too much attention." While the veteran continued to pull the trigger and hit the bullet at the distant enemy, he reminded his assistant loudly: "Don't be stupid, take a new bomb Here! The machine gun is a bit overheated. Where is the new barrel? "
His voice hadn't passed yet, and a shell fell a short distance away. It was the British howitzer firing. Obviously, the British had prepared for this attack for a long time, and even they even found ways to support the artillery.
"It is a large-caliber howitzer, pay attention to concealment." The platoon leader reminded his soldiers to pay attention to their safety loudly, and when a blast of smoke exploded on the German position, behind this position, a German leopard The tank is slowly moving forward, and behind this tank, there are more and more German tanks.
"The attack begins!" A tank commander lowered the telescope in his hand and gave a command of the attack loudly, holding the larynx: "Break through the frontal defense line of the British army, and then expand the breakthrough to the two wings! Speed ​​up!"
Just after lunch, the elite German tank troops appeared in front of the Allied positions. They quickly repelled a counterattack from the British infantry and then attacked the British position. The battle became even more fierce.
In the evening, beside the wreckage of a burning German leopard tank, two German machine gunners set up their new machine gun positions, and beside them, they were still advancing in the afternoon battle of the 88mm anti-aircraft cannon. The distance was 3 kilometers, but the Germans paid a heavy price for the destruction of 21 tanks.
