Chapter 2579
In times of war, human life is worthless, and living is sometimes more painful than dying in battle.

Not to mention, after the end of the last world war, many European and American veterans, especially those who were severely injured and permanently disabled, committed suicide after being in extreme difficulties in life. Their fate was more miserable than those who died in battle.

Compared with Europe and the United States, Southern Africa has done well enough. It has never defaulted on the pensions of disabled soldiers, and there are condolences from federal governments at all levels and social charity organizations every now and then.

Therefore, these expeditionary officers and soldiers on the front line do not have much worry about the future. Even if they die in battle, their relatives can still receive a large pension.

Hooker's unit moved quickly and arrived on the battlefield soon.

The situation was not so good. The location chosen by the German army was very clever. It was located in an empty square surrounded by very strong tall buildings.

On the second street adjacent to the square, Hooker encountered friendly forces who were frustrated in their attack.

"There are German troops stationed in several buildings over there, equipped with G34 machine guns, and there are German snipers on the street. We tried to attack and three people died." Not under the line of fire.

Hook watches from behind a broken window.

The houses here are really solid.

Qi Li didn't chat. He checked all the rooms upstairs and found that there were no survivors before notifying the release of the combat status.

The cruelest point of urban warfare is to compete inch by inch. Every house and every room may hide enemies. Therefore, according to the experience of the Russian battlefield, the safest and most efficient way is to destroy all the buildings along the way.

There is also a clock tower next to the square, which is the commanding height of the surrounding buildings. If Hook was a sniper, he would place his sniper position on the clock tower.

Many people may think that heavy machine guns are not as effective as sniper rifles on the battlefield.

And the key point is that after dark, the No. [-] tanker's line of sight will be affected, and if he launches an attack at that time, the chance of success will be much higher.

Regardless of what others said, Second Lieutenant Qi Li definitely wanted to avenge his subordinates.

Hook is a professional soldier, and he can maintain his state for a longer period of time. During this time, people basically block and kill people, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.

At night, snipers have much less worries, and the chance of being discovered is greatly increased. Many German snipers, or riflemen who thought they had good shooting skills, also lost their lives in such a daze.

The night vision device, as mentioned earlier, is another black technology mastered by the Germans.

When the last German soldier saw Hooker, even though his arm was bleeding, he subconsciously raised his gun.

Qi Li was also fast. Hooker's magazine hadn't been emptied yet, so Qi Li also rushed upstairs, perfectly filling the gap in firepower caused by Hooker's replacement of the magazine.

Although the No. [-] tank is ferocious, it also has high requirements for logistics, and its fuel consumption per [-] kilometers must be dozens of times higher.

Although the sound and light effect of defensive grenades is not as good as that of offensive grenades, the movement is quite loud, especially the sound of steel balls splashing, penetrating through wooden doors, or hitting metal furniture. People who are familiar with them will immediately have their adrenal secretions accelerated after hearing it.

The Germans are actually waiting, and the night is a good thing for both sides. The difference is that on the German side, only No. [-] has night vision devices, and the ordinary infantry does not.

That one Panzer IV tank alone was enough for the paratroopers to drink a pot, not to mention how many German troops were in the buildings around the square, the fight was destined to be very hard.

"action!"

"It's best to pass through the next house, but we don't have enough explosives—" Hook didn't want to walk through the streets, it was too dangerous.

Hook clenched the assault rifle in his hand, ready to charge.

Hook was still very careful to find that among the messy furniture, several rows of footprints extended from the window on the other side of the street to the upstairs through the stairs.

In this way, in fact, there are not many positions that are suitable as sniper spots. They are also snipers, and it is very easy to find the opponent's position by pushing others by themselves.

The Germans are indeed very thieves. They chose a building with a very large area, opened up two rooms, and made it possible to park the No. [-] tank. In this way, No. [-] can advance, attack and retreat, No wonder it lasted until dark.

Hook pointed to the upstairs and signaled to Qi Li beside him.

"Wait a little longer, and then act after dark." Hook was not in a hurry to attack, and wanted to drag the German army on the opposite side to death.

dong dong dong-

Of course, night vision devices are not unique to the German army. The Southern African Expeditionary Force also has similar equipment. Hooker has two night vision devices, equipped with snipers and machine gunners respectively.

The power of the heavy machine gun under the night is even more astonishing. The one-meter-long muzzle flame can be seen a kilometer away, and the ammunition chain mixed with tracer bullets is like the sickle of death in the dark night. I don’t know that it has been exposed to the night vision device. The German soldiers were harvested intensively, and they didn't know how they were exposed until they died.

Regarding urban warfare, during the last World War, the Southern African Expeditionary Force summed up a set of fairly mature tactics.

"Poor man, there is nothing—" Henry did not forget to clean the battlefield, but there was nothing to gain.

For the first corpse, Hook shot directly, and the corpse moved miraculously, probably not completely dead.

Qi Li nodded, took out a defensive grenade, and sneered.

Basically, it's not bad to have a dagger.

Defense grenades rely on steel balls and shrapnel to create damage. It is no problem to hide downstairs with a floor.

The German army is now fighting locally. Even if there are any valuable things, they have been mailed to their families in advance, and they will not be taken with them as trophies for the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary army.

There were a total of three German soldiers, one was directly killed, one was seriously injured, and the last German soldier hid behind the door of another room, only slightly injured on his arm.

When fighting during the day, in order to protect themselves, German snipers would rather not shoot when the opportunity is not good, and it is difficult to find.

boom--

Hook didn't hesitate, his hand holding the gun was very steady, the muzzle moved with his sight, his finger was on the trigger, ready to fire at any time.

"If only tanks are equipped with night vision devices, then we don't have to worry too much." Hook was not afraid of tanks' night vision devices, and tigers couldn't hold back a pack of wolves.

At this time, the battle had already broken out, and the snipers who were in place in advance were hunting the German army with the help of night vision goggles.

Hook was in a state of accelerated secretion. He rushed upstairs a little early. When he reached the corner of the stairs, he could even feel the sound of steel balls passing through the air above his head.

Through the window, Hook finally saw the No. [-] tank hidden in a building.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force is well aware of the technological progress of the German army, but the German army does not know enough about the Southern African Expeditionary Force. After all, they have not fought many battles before, and the German troops that have confronted the Southern African Expeditionary Force have basically been withdrawn.

The whole afternoon, when Hook and the others stayed in the room, they didn't deliberately lower their voices. These Germans must have noticed.

After night fell, the actions of the German army became more aggressive. They used to hide in buildings and fight coldly without showing their faces. Now they dare to appear in groups on the streets. It is really life and death.

The Ruger is a surprise.

The square where the No. [-] tank is located should be the center of Cologne. The building structure is obviously stronger than other areas. Hooker has not seen a few complete buildings all the way, and there are everywhere here.

"Safety!"

On the southern African side, all machine gunners and precision shooters are equipped with night vision goggles.

The adrenal gland is a very magical thing. When it is secreted, it will make people more excited. Once the excited state disappears, the whole person will be more tired. This is the reason why many honest people will tremble after touching people.

What a sniper pursues is efficiency and precision. One bullet kills an enemy without wasting it.

"Brothers, follow me—" The officer charged forward, leading his men to move out one after another.

Delaying time is indeed beneficial. As time went by, more and more paratroopers arrived. When night fell, there were already more than 40 people on Hooker's side, belonging to three companies.

Hook wanted to wait until after dark to attack, and he also meant to use night vision goggles to bully the Germans.

Unlike the crazily raging heavy machine guns, the mission of the precision shooter is to kill the opponent's sniper.

This is also normal.

The frontal armor of No. 80 is 80mm armor at 88 degrees. Let alone rockets, [-]mm guns are difficult to penetrate.

"Bazooka!" Hook called to the bazooka hand. This was the only weapon that could pose a threat to Four. The grenade was like tickling against Four.

When Hook entered the door just now, he threw an offensive grenade. This choice is no problem.

Hook was simple and rude. He kicked open the door across the street and threw an offensive grenade in. After strong light and loud noise, he broke in.

If before this, the Southern African Expeditionary Force and the 106th Armored Brigade did not have a deep hatred, then after the fierce battle, both sides had the other's blood on their hands, which is not easy to forgive.

The biggest problem for the paratroopers is the lack of ability to attack fortifications, otherwise they would not have to work so hard, and they would be finished with heavy artillery all the way.

Now that Hook and Qi Li have entered the room, it would be inappropriate to use the offensive grenade. After all, the sound and flash effect caused by the offensive grenade will affect everyone in the room.

At this moment, the entire city was in a mess, with gunshots and explosions everywhere. The paratroopers on the opposite side of the square may have been blinded, and they directly blew up a three-story building with explosives, and the concrete blocks flew directly. Cross the whole square and land on Hooker's side.

There were indeed people upstairs.

"Then how to fight?" Hook lacked experience in dealing with heavy units.

Snipers are very cautious in the selection of sniper points. While having a wide field of vision, they must also have good concealment.

bah—

The ammunition carried by No. [-] is also limited, and every shot is less than one round. When the ammunition is used up, No. [-] will be a toothless tiger.

Now that the Russian battlefield has been perfected, the Southern African Expeditionary Force has accumulated a wealth of experience in urban warfare.

"The bazooka is useless, it can't penetrate No. [-]'s armor—" Qi Li calmed down. He did his homework well and knew how strong No. [-]'s defense was.

"Be careful, that No. [-] car may carry this night vision device—" Qi Li reminded Hu Ke not to be careless, the German technology is really terrible.

After many bombings, most of Cologne's buildings were in ruins, and only a few buildings with particularly strong structures survived.

"Go on, go on!" Hook had just entered the state and couldn't relax.

Anyway, Cologne is a city in Germany, and it doesn't feel bad if it is completely broken.

A street is only a few meters apart. If a grenade flew over at that time, Hook and his side would have suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that the second one was still moving, Hook fired a burst. The military rifle was so powerful that the opponent's arm and helmet were blown away at the same time. Fortunately, it was night, otherwise the visual effect would have been difficult to pass the review.

"What the hell, we're only one street away from these few people, and we've been together for a whole afternoon!" Hook only felt the fear now.

Offensive grenades also work well.

"We still have some here." Qi Li looked at the dozen or so people around him, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Start?" Hook was full and ready to give the Germans a big surprise.

The long-awaited heavy machine gunners immediately became excited.

Now knowing that the German army also has night vision goggles, Hook is not surprised.

The role of the heavy machine gun is to suppress, if the power is not enough, it can still be suppressed. If a bullet can't kill you, then fire a few more shots. Anyway, there are plenty of bullets, so it's enough.

Precision shooters are not idle either.

The 106th Armored Brigade on the opposite side was not completely cannon fodder. After all, it was withdrawn from the Russian battlefield and replaced with a servant army unit with weak fighting will. At this time, it would either withdraw from Cologne or surrender, and would not stay to fight to the end.

Although defensive grenades are not suitable for offensive operations, it depends on the situation.

This is definitely an illusion. A heavy machine gun with a scope installed is essentially a more powerful precision rifle that can fire 600 rounds per minute with a range of more than 1500 meters.

Hook reacted faster and emptied all the magazines.

It is good to fight in the enemy's territory. You don't have to worry about damaging public and private property. The attack route is very free. You can jump directly from the window and rush to the opposite side, and then the square where the No. [-] tank is located.

This is already the core area of ​​the city. The scale of the buildings is larger and there are more rooms. The situation is more complicated. Hook and the others have to search house by house without leaving any hidden dangers.

There was no one in the room, and a few pieces of broken furniture fell on the ground in a mess. There was a thin layer of dust on the ground, which showed that no one had lived in the room for a long time.

At this time, Hook will definitely not yell "hand in the gun and don't kill" like in the movie, but will shoot the moment he sees someone, regardless of whether he is dead or not.

blah blah-

"Break the house——" Qi Li was expressionless. The hiding place chosen by No. [-] was a perfect graveyard.

"Wise!" Hook patted Qi Li on the shoulder and laughed, which was indeed a good idea.

If you can't kill it, then bury it alive.

Qi Li kicked it viciously, and Lao Tzu still had a wound on his shoulder.
