Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 989 Meeting in a narrow road

Switching to other troops, it may not be successful to pay a huge price for the beach landing operation, let alone gain a firm foothold, just like the Anzac Army during the Battle of the Dardanelles.

The Second Cavalry Division was obviously better prepared. Before the troops landed, they had already conducted two drills in Dunkirk. All commanders and fighters were familiar with the matters that need to be paid attention to in landing operations, so they didn't need to be reminded by the officers. Find a makeshift position suitable for a hypothetical machine gun.

As soon as two bursts were fired against a German machine gun position in a bunker, a second lieutenant came over with a pistol: "Sergeant, take your buddy with me—"

"Sir, I'm on a mission—" Huang Hai didn't get up immediately.

"Take your machine gun and follow me, we need fire support—" the second lieutenant yelled at the top of his voice. At this time, the beachhead was in chaos, and it was really not easy to find a complete machine gun team.

"Sir, what should I do?" Horace was miserable with a bullet box, not knowing what to do.

"Let's go, let's go with the second lieutenant—" Huang Hai didn't hesitate to accept the order of the officer with a higher rank on the premise that he couldn't find the officer directly under him.

Then go, half of the bullets in the machine gun's ammunition box do not need to be replaced. Horace puts the spare ammunition box in his backpack, and when he picks up the rifle, he looks at the German bunker angrily, and then walks along with Huang Hai in desperation.

The second lieutenant's troops were about to attack a German artillery position, and they gathered along the way. The second lieutenant had nearly 30 soldiers under him.

These soldiers belong to three different units, one is the 21nd Cavalry Division, one is the [-]st Division of the British mainland, and one is the Reorganized Fifth Division from Canada.

Among all thirty people, Huang Hai and Horace had the best weapons and equipment. In addition to rifles and light machine guns, both of them were equipped with pistols, and Horace also brought a few extra grenades.

"Okay, gentlemen, now let's clarify the combat mission. Our goal is a German artillery position two kilometers away. The German army responsible for guarding the position is a company, but I don't think this German company will be an obstacle to us. We must clear this German position as soon as possible, otherwise our fleet outside the sea will be threatened by the Germans." The captain and company commander are estimated to be almost 50 years old, and they are very similar to the second lieutenant.

"There's no problem, Huang, you are our hero, and next you have to provide cover for our troops—" The captain has a good attitude towards Huang Hai, and combat heroes are always respected.

"I'm fine." Huang Hai said concisely.

"Great, then let's go right away—" The captain couldn't wait, the opportunity was always fleeting, and no one could guarantee whether the German reinforcements would appear.

Two kilometers is not too far away. According to the daily training intensity of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, it can be won in one sprint.

As a result, Huang Hai and Horace walked for an hour this time, defeating two waves of German troops trying to resist along the way, before arriving at the German artillery position.

Both Huang Hai and Horace were veterans. They randomly found a high-lying mound and began to prepare machine gun positions.

The easiest way to prepare machine gun positions is to prepare more sandbags. The protection of sandbags is indeed not as good as that of reinforced concrete, but the cost of sandbag positions is low, the speed is fast, and it can also provide certain protection for soldiers. The regular repertoire of the expeditionary force, you are proficient in almost everyone.

"Tom, lead your squad and assist Sergeant Huanghai in the battle. Remember, if the situation is not good, you must show up in time to save us-" The captain and company commander don't think there is any shame in this, all Chinese are pragmatists Or, the god of the Chinese is the ancestor of the Chinese, which cannot be replaced by a small cross.

After a short rest, the captain led the troops to formally attack the German artillery positions.

There are a lot of backpacks piled up in the machine gun positions in the Yellow Sea, and some of them still contain the suicide notes they just wrote. The captain and company commander’s troops have nothing but pistols and grenades. They want to charge as fast as possible. Keep rushing through the German defenders' positions, and then throw grenades into the German artillery barrels.

The Yellow Sea started shooting at this time, four people were in charge of fighting with the Yellow Sea, Horace was still in charge of changing the ammunition box, a soldier on the other side of the Yellow Sea was in charge of changing the barrel, behind a rock next to you, a second lieutenant was watching through a telescope German positions.

He is the observer of the Yellow Sea.

"Ten...ten...ten...Huang, at your ten o'clock direction, you found a small German army—" the second lieutenant's voice changed his tone excitedly.

Huang Hai was not agitated, quietly moved the muzzle of the gun, and pulled the trigger directly after aiming slightly.

blah blah——

The general-purpose machine gun fired lightly and crisply, and the German troops who were trying to counterattack were thrown off their feet. The second lieutenant was reluctant to put down his binoculars.

Horace didn't hesitate, the muzzle of his gun was placed on a neatly stacked blanket, and he was also trying to shoot at the German army.

Tap-tap-tack--

There was no need for Huang Hai to remind him of the sound of the firing pin hitting the air. The soldiers on the left were busy changing the guns, and Horace was busy changing the ammunition box. Ten seconds later, Huang Hai's light machine gun started roaring again.

hum-

The roar of aircraft engines whizzed past in the sky, 24 shiny silver planes were flying towards Bruges, and directly above them were [-] four-engine strategic bombers, also flying towards Bruges.

Like tanks, after the British Expeditionary Force launched a new offensive, the four-engine bomber finally shined.

The power of strategic bombers does not lie in how much damage the enemy can cause, nor how many strategic targets it destroys, but to create a psychological shadow on the people behind the hostile country, so that they can personally feel the threat of war, thereby reducing the morale of the German military and civilians.

Both Bruges and Ghent have suffered heavy casualties since the four-engine bombers entered the war. Ghent, as a transshipment center for the German army in Belgium, was almost razed to the ground. The four-engine heavy bombers can carry bombs weighing up to 1500 pounds. Compared with the Big Beretta, which can only fire one shot in two hours, no matter how strong the fortress is, as long as it is directly hit by a [-]-pound aerial bomb, there is only one end.

Huang Hai didn't care about the plane, and his eyes never left the front sight. The ace shooter is indeed well-deserved. With a light machine gun, Huang Hai almost suppressed a platoon of German troops. The attacking troops rushed into the artillery position without much resistance.

"Should we move forward, sir?" Horace asked the second lieutenant with the binoculars.

"Huang Hai, you did a great job, you got a new medal for the battle, God bless you—" the second lieutenant ignored Horace, greeted Huang Hai, and led his men away .

Huang Hai and Horace curled their lips, packed up their things, and withdrew from the position at random.

The sound of gunfire at the beachhead was still intense. When Huang Hai and Horace walked back, they were surprised to find a German fort right in front of them.

This is a fairly large fortress, at least one platoon of German troops should be stationed there. Huang Hai and Horace are only two people. After repeated weighing, Huang Hai decided to retreat, not wanting to make unnecessary sacrifices.

"Sir, we should take that fort down." Horace said righteously.

"There is at least one platoon of German troops in that fortress, and we only have two people—" It's not that Huang Hai doesn't want to fight, but he really can't. Two people fight fifty people, this is not an online novel.

"You cover me with a machine gun, and I'll throw grenades into the bunker. We don't need to wipe out all the German troops, as long as we can distract the German troops and free our troops from the beachhead—" Horace's voice became more and more Xiao, this is actually not the task of Huang Hai and Horace, Huang Hai and Horace are only responsible for fire cover.

"You asked me to suppress a platoon of German troops by myself?" Huang Hai was about to collapse, the Germans were not pigs, if forty or fifty of them attacked together, Huang Hai couldn't stand it even with three heads and six arms.

"It doesn't take too long, a dozen seconds at most—" Horace had already started stuffing grenades into the chest gear. There were still two bullet boxes in the backpack, and the bullet boxes carried by Huang Hai had all been emptied.

Two and a half, or three ammunition boxes, against a platoon of German troops. This is the case when the German army has no reinforcements. Huang Hai is really a headache, and Horace is really not afraid of death.

"Sir, get ready, I'm going—" Horace wasn't joking, he had a pistol in one hand and a grenade in the other hand, and he was carrying an engineer shovel and dagger, but the rifle was still beside Huang Hai.

"You bastard, I'll deal with you after you finish beating me—" Huang Hai didn't bother to complain, and immediately put down the bipod of the general-purpose machine gun, and set it on a stone beside the trench.

Before Horace launched an attack, several German soldiers carrying bullet boxes suddenly turned around in the trench beside Huang Hai.

When Huang Hai found the German soldiers, the German soldiers also found Huang Hai, and both sides were a little dazed for a moment.

After all, Huang Hai has been battle-hardened, so he just threw a grenade over, and then picked up the light machine gun and shot in a squatting position.

When the grenade was thrown over, the German soldiers carrying the bullet boxes were taken aback, and the German soldiers walking in the front dropped the bullet boxes and turned around and ran away.

Before the German soldiers at the back figured out what was going on, the two-meter-wide trench was suddenly overcrowded.

blah blah——

At this time, Huang Hai started to shoot, without careful aiming, the muzzle of the gun was slightly lowered, and it was enough to hold the trigger tightly.

The power of the general-purpose machine gun is still very good. Before, Huang Hai only knew that the 7.7mm bullet had a strong penetrating power, but he didn't know how strong it was.

Now Huang Hai knew that a 7.7mm bullet could penetrate the bodies of at least two people continuously, and then stay in the body of the third person.

The screams in the trench suddenly rose to the sky, and the rows of German soldiers were staggering like candied haws. No one noticed that the grenade that Huang Hai threw out at the beginning did not even pull out the safety pin.

In such an emergency, there is really no time to pull out the safety pin.
