Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 985 fluke

In the battle on the first day, the German army suffered heavy losses. At least 5000 people died in the battle on the first day of the battle, and nearly 3 people surrendered. In St. Omer, the four tanks of the expeditionary force exchanged With cooperation, three thousand German troops were forced to lay down their weapons at one time, creating the greatest miracle since the war on the Western Front.

Compared with the heavy losses of the German army, the losses of the expeditionary force were not worth mentioning. On the first day of combat, the expeditionary force suffered less than [-] casualties, and most of them died in hand-to-hand combat after breaking into the German trenches.

In some areas, the fighting was extremely fierce, and the German troops who had not had time to enter the trenches were divided and surrounded. The expeditionary army used flamethrowers and grenades to deal with the German troops hiding in the bunkers. The German troops in those caves were even worse. After paying some sacrifices, the expeditionary forces Instead of attacking the complicated underground transportation network, all the entrances to the tunnels were blown up, blocking the German army in the tunnels, and the battle lasted until midnight.

At night, in a foxhole in the forward position of the Second Cavalry Division, Corporal Huang Hai and Private Fox were on guard. Fox used his helmet to block the wind, lit two cigarettes, and handed the cigarettes to Huang Hai.

When Huang Hai took it over, he asked casually, "Is there no addition?"

"No, the ones that have been added are special servants. We don't need that in the Second Cavalry Division." Fox took a deep breath with his head sullen, not daring to show his cigarette butt.

Stuffed cigarettes can make soldiers forget their fears. This is a common method used by the Allies and Allies at this time. It's just that whether soldiers will develop dependence after the war is not considered by the top leaders of the Allies.

Such cigarettes are absolutely prohibited by the Southern African Expeditionary Force. Rock will use other methods to motivate the troops. This method is absolutely prohibited. Even in Southern Africa, those are absolutely prohibited species. You must not touch this aspect. Turn living people into real devils.

Fifty meters in front of the foxholes of Huanghai and Fox, there is a burning tin barrel, and the firewood inside is burning with diesel fuel, which can play a good warning role.

Although the German army did not have the habit of fighting at night, the German army suffered a crushing defeat in daytime battles. No one knew whether the German army would sneak attacks at night, so it is better to be prepared.

"It would be great if we were armored soldiers. Sitting in it, the wind won't blow or rain, and we don't have to carry our own backpacks. It's comfortable to think about." Fox looked enviously at the tanks and armored vehicles not far behind him.

Tanks are excellent for offense, and they are also excellent for defense. Not far behind Huang Hai and Fox, there is a tank and an armored vehicle. The tanker is sitting on the turret and eating canned food. The door of the armored vehicle is open. Looking at them, two soldiers were sitting at the door, smoking and chatting with their feet dangling outside the car. They really looked much more comfortable than Huang Hai and Fox lying in the paratrooper pit with an oilcloth under their bodies.

"Stupid, just look at the prestige. It's hot to death in summer and cold to death in winter. What's the comfort?" Huang Hai is obviously well-informed, and he doesn't envy the armored soldiers at all.

Just like what Huang Hai said, the armored soldiers in this period are indeed very sad. One thing is certain, there must be no air-conditioning in tanks and armored vehicles, so the environment can be imagined. When fighting in summer, the temperature inside the tank can be When the temperature reached more than [-] degrees, the tanker got out of the car and looked like a prawn that had just been fished out of boiling water.

Winter is even worse. Think about what it feels like to touch the iron block in winter, and what it feels like to sit in a tank.

This is still the case when the German army does not have anti-tank weapons. If the German army is equipped with anti-tank weapons, then the danger of tanks on the battlefield will increase greatly. At that time, all tanks will become the main attack targets, so tank soldiers really have nothing to envy .

"We are too relieved today. At this rate, we should be able to capture Ghent tomorrow." Fox changed the topic. Ghent is the eternal pain in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force. The expeditionary force attacked the city of Ghent, but ultimately fell short.

"Don't think too much, the Germans are not stupid, and I think they can think of a way to deal with tanks in the past few days—" Huang Hai is not optimistic. Southern Africa has conducted many internal confrontations involving armored forces, and Huang Hai has also participated in it. At the beginning, the southern African army was helpless against tanks, but with the deepening of the exercise, various local methods emerged as the times require. Don't doubt the wisdom of the working people.

"How to deal with it? Unless the Germans also have tanks—" Fox was a recruit who had just joined the army and knew very little about tanks.

"It's simple, look at that tank, if it were you, how would you deal with it?" Huang Hai lay on his stomach feeling uncomfortable, turned over and took a deep breath.

The sky was gloomy, not a single star could be seen, and there was a faint smell of storm in the night wind. Huang Hai let out a long sigh. If it rained tomorrow, the Germans would not need to think of a way, and the tank troops would have to lie down.

"Throw a grenade into the tank—" Fox opened his mouth, and a grenade went down. In the narrow space inside the tank, there was absolutely no possibility of the two tankers being spared.

"Cut - we have already used your method, it's useless. When the tank troops are dispatched, they always have accompanying infantry. When you are those accompanying infantry, you can easily approach the tank?" Huang Hai dismissed it, What a way.

"Then what to do—" Fox couldn't think of facing the steel monster unless he had more powerful weapons.

"It's so simple, dig a hole in the ground, and the tank will have to detour, think about how much time we wasted in the afternoon crossing the river, otherwise we might have hit Ghent by now—" Huang Hai was very regretful, The French-Belgian border is densely networked with water, which caused a lot of trouble for the tank troops. During the afternoon battle, the armored troops lost an hour and a half trying to cross a river.

At that time, the German army was on the other side of the river, watching the tanks circling around on the river bank, Huang Hai didn't believe that the German army could be beaten to such an extent, maybe the German army was digging holes overnight.

"What should I do—" Fox muttered to himself, looking at Tank full of sorrow.

"Why bother, the lord will figure out a way, it's not our turn to worry about this." Huang Hai threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and when he turned over, he seemed to see something passing by in front of the tin bucket.

Although in the dark night, he could not see clearly, Huang Hai subconsciously pulled the bolt of the light machine gun.

Fox didn't say a word, quietly holding the grenade beside him.

Another black shadow flashed past, this time Huang Hai finally saw clearly, it was a German soldier wearing a pointed helmet.

The style of the helmets of the German soldiers is actually similar to the helmets of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, but there is a gun head on the German helmets that is very eye-catching, which has become a distinctive feature of the German army.

Huang Hai didn't say a word, aiming at the front of the metal bucket was a long burst.

"Enemy attack!" Fox shouted while throwing the grenade in his hand.

boom--

The silent defense line suddenly boiled like a fish pond where a firecracker was thrown, and the ammunition chain composed of countless tracer bullets was drawn like a whip, and the flares rose immediately, making the entire defense line as bright as day.

tom tom tom—

The 40mm grenade launcher on the armored vehicle also started to fire. At this time, there was no need to aim. All German soldiers with grim expressions were rushing upwards in the sight range. Some of them were holding bayonet-mounted rifles. Some other soldiers are hand grenades with a shovel and a hand grenade.

In the process of fighting the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the German troops have indeed been making progress.

But in the face of absolute superior firepower, relying solely on personal courage will not do anything at all.

Now that there are more and more light and heavy machine guns, the group charge of infantry units is less and less effective. Sometimes a light machine gun can control a fan-shaped area with a width of 50 meters in front of it. As long as the machine gun has enough bullets, How many infantry came up and died, flesh and blood will never be able to compete with the steel storm.

Huang Hai is an excellent machine gunner. The general-purpose machine gun that uses a bipod is equipped with a 75-round magazine, and a tracer bullet is loaded every five rounds, which is convenient for the shooter to correct the trajectory, in order to prevent night attacks.

Huang Hai's first magazine ran out almost instantly. Fox picked up the spare barrel to replace it, but was stopped by Huang Hai directly: "Change the magazine directly——"

The Southern African Army stipulates that in order to better protect the life of the barrel, the barrel must be replaced every time a magazine is fired, so that the barrel can be fully rested, so that it can last longer.

Of course, if it is an emergency, you can also fire two or three magazines in a row and then replace the barrel, so that although the barrel can hold up, it will be detrimental to the life of the barrel after a long time.

Now this kind of time must be a state of emergency. It doesn't matter if the barrel of the gun is broken, and the attacking German troops are suppressed first.

Fox doesn't talk nonsense, hurry up and change the magazine.

Huang Hai kept his shooting position still, and the moment the Fox was replaced, Huang Hai directly pulled the trigger.

Damn it, just wasting this moment, the German army has already rushed within 50 meters, and some German soldiers have already raised their arms to throw grenades.

Huang Hai gritted his teeth and insisted that even if he died in battle, he would not retreat. Huang Hai and Fox wanted to buy more time for the rear troops.

The German grenades were thrown over like raindrops, and one grenade fell right between the Yellow Sea and Fox.

Huang Hai had no time to clone, Fox gave a strange cry, picked up the grenade and threw it out of the foxhole.

boom--

The grenade exploded right next to the foxhole, and a piece of shrapnel flew past Huang Hai's cheek, drawing a bloodstain on Huang Hai's face.

Fox next to him was not so lucky. He was hit by three pieces of shrapnel at the same time. Blood gushed out of a blood hole in his ear, and he fell beside Huang Hai without saying a word.

Huang Hai's heart was calm, and the first thought that came to his mind was to get a contribution medal.

Such a big heart!

(Those scumbags who want to feed their dogs with dried fish, conscience——)
