Chapter 467 Bloody Night

Go back a little in time, to three minutes before the battle began.

Jonard, wearing a military uniform, swaggered towards the bridgehead.

Because everyone's attention was on the team, no one thought there was anything wrong with him.

There was a guard at the gate of the bridgehead. When he saw Jonard coming, he raised his right hand to make a "stop" gesture, and then asked something in Prosen language.

Jonard showed the guards the snacks and wine in his hand - these were actually stolen from the canteen of the bridge guard troops after he came in.

Seeing the food, the guard was even more confused, but Jonard made a "hush" gesture. The guard looked at the gesture and thought for a second, as if he had figured something out, and directly opened the door and made a "go in" gesture.

Jonard entered the bridgehead, closed the door, and locked it behind him - the gate of this kind of fortress can be locked from the inside, and it cannot be opened even with a key from the outside.

He put the food on the table.

Private Prossen, who was looking out from the firing port, heard the sound and turned around. He saw the food first, said something happily, walked over and picked up a sausage.

It was only then that the soldier noticed that Jonard was a stranger and was stunned.

Without saying a word, Jonard drew out his scimitar and slashed at the private, who immediately fell backwards, holding his throat.

Jonard grabbed the private who was about to fall, carefully placed him on a chair beside the table, and quietly climbed up to the second floor of the tower with a scimitar.

A sergeant was sitting at a table writing something, probably a letter home, and he didn't notice that Jonald had approached him.

So Jonard slashed at the sergeant's back, and the blade of the scimitar penetrated the sergeant's body all at once.

The sergeant tried hard to look back, but his body was no longer under his control. He could only turn his eyes as far as possible and look at Jonald out of the corner of his eyes.

Jonard drew his scimitar and slashed the sergeant's neck again, completely separating his head from his body.

He picked up the oilcloth on the table and began to wipe the blood off the machete. At this time, birds were chirping outside.

Jonard quickly put away his machete, returned to the first floor, opened the door, and then the man outside pushed the sentry's body into the door and said, "The doctor has taken the commander of the enemy post away. We are all in position. Use the machine gun to give the action signal."

"Got it," Jonald said.

The man outside glanced at Jonard and asked, "Can you use a machine gun?"

"I just like to use cold weapons. I'm not crazy and can't use hot weapons. Don't worry. I also throw grenades! Also, there are three machine guns in this tower. You can have two more people."

The person outside decisively turned around and whispered, "Philip! Come here quickly, the three of us will guard the bridgehead."

Soon, a fully armed Komanda team member walked in, followed by the person who was talking outside.

Jonard quickly closed the door and locked it, then the three of them pushed the cabinet next to them together to block the door.

Then the three of them rushed to the platform at the top of the tower.

There is also a searchlight on the tower, but it is fixed in the direction of the gate to provide light for the gate.

Jonard smiled and said, "Great, we will use this light to blind the enemy so that they can't aim and shoot at us."

"Okay! Then, Da Qiao, let's get started!"

Jonard nodded and leaned over to the machine gun. This was not a Maxim, but a Proson MG34. Fortunately, Jonard had learned how to use Proson weapons. He checked the bolt, adjusted the hand wheel of the tripod, and finally pointed the gun at the gate checkpoint.

Before he could open fire, gunshots were heard from the other side of the bridge.

It was the sound of the Sten submachine gun firing.

The convoy of Barras's troops had just passed by and the surroundings had just become quiet, so the gunshots sounded particularly abrupt.

Jonard immediately pulled the trigger, and the Proson machine gun immediately emitted a gunshot that made many Allied soldiers suffer from PTSD, and the line of fire formed by tracer bullets swept across the entrance checkpoint of the defense zone.

Jonard was sure that he had knocked down at least five Prosons with this blow, while the others lay on the ground in a very well-trained manner.

However, the machine gunner at the checkpoint immediately turned his gun around and fired at the tower, but because the searchlight was too bright, he couldn't aim and all his shots missed.

The next moment, machine gunner Prossen heard the sound of the grenade safety lever popping off.

Plossen's grenades are all pull-type, and the fuse can be lit by pulling the pull ring. However, the Allied grenades have the safety pin pulled out and once you let go, the safety rod will be bounced open by the spring, and the firing pin will hit the primer to ignite the fuse.

So when the Allied grenade is triggered, there will be a crisp "ding" sound, and then the safety bar will fly high.

The shooter turned around and saw the grenade flying at his feet.

The explosion blew him out of the bunker.

The Komanda commandos emerged from the darkness and fired Sten submachine guns and cross-fired with machine guns, quickly clearing the entire checkpoint.

At this time, a shrill alarm sounded from the direction of the main barracks, and a large number of Proson soldiers wearing Barras uniforms rushed out of the barracks and rushed to their battle positions in a well-trained manner.

Jonard on the bridgehead turned his gun and fired at the barracks, knocking down seven or eight people. Then the Prosens threw smoke bombs.

Jonard didn't care at all and used a machine gun to block the dormitory building based on his memory.

However, this did not stop the Prosens from spreading out their formation to outflank the bridgehead.

At the checkpoint, members of the Komanda team seized machine guns and fired at the Prosen people, forming cross fire with the bridgehead.

As Jonard shot, he shouted, "Quick, bullets! Martin bullets!"

Martin climbed out of the bridgehead carrying two large barrels of bullets and reminded, "It's time to change the barrel!" Jonard glanced at the barrel that was already glowing red and shook his head, "Never mind, we won't be using it forever anyway, so it's broken!"

Martin put down his ammunition and took out his kettle: "I'll give you some water!"

The water in the kettle evaporated the moment it fell on the barrel. The large amount of steam even burned Jonard's eyes, but he still did not stop shooting. The last section of the ammunition belt on the machine gun was quickly used up.

He opened the bullet-reducing plate: "Load!"

Martin inserted the new belt into the bolt.

At this time, the loud shouts of the Prosen people came from below the tower.

Just as Jonard was about to close the grenade plate, he looked up and saw a wooden-handled grenade flying towards his face.

He immediately raised his hand to catch the grenade and threw it back.

The grenade exploded as it fell into the night, and screams of the Prosen people could be heard from below.

Martin helped Jonard close the bullet-stopper and shouted, "All right!"

Jonard started firing again.

Martin detonated the grenade and threw it down, blowing up the enemies who had already reached the edge of the tower.

At this time, George, who was also shooting with a machine gun behind the two men, shouted, "Reload!"

"Here it comes! Do you want your barrel to cool down?"

"This is the Maxim, it's water-cooled! You got the wrong ammunition, brother!"

"Damn, you should have told me you were Maxim!"

Jonard had no time to care about the two people behind him. He fired about thirty more rounds and saw another grenade flying towards his cheek.

So he caught the wooden-handled grenade again and threw it back.

As soon as this one exploded, another one came up next to it.

Jonard simply picked up the engineer shovel next to him and used it as a badminton racket to hit the grenade back.

Before this one exploded, the third one came up. Jonard could only continue swinging the shovel and could not fire at all.

Suddenly, there was an explosion on the first floor. It was estimated that a Proson man threw a grenade in through the firing hole on the first floor. However, there was no one on the first floor!
Suddenly, the anti-aircraft artillery position nearby opened fire.

The 20mm machine gun fired crackling rounds at the bunker, knocking down all the enemies surrounding the tower.

"Good job!" Jonard shouted in the direction of the anti-aircraft gun, "Be careful they are about to outflank you!"

He was answered by the sound of Sten submachine gun fire as the Komandas took up positions around the anti-aircraft gun emplacement.

The 20mm machine guns routed the Plossen defenders and the siege of the bridgehead was resolved in an instant.

Suddenly, a Maxim heavy machine gun in the attic of the Plossen dormitory opened fire.

The target was the anti-aircraft artillery position. The two Commanders operating the 20mm machine gun were immediately shot and fell at the operating position. Although the Commander who was carrying the shells lay down immediately, he was still shot in the back.

The Proson machine gunner, who had the height advantage, began to unleash fire, suppressing the Komanda in the direction of the anti-aircraft gun position and making it unable to move.

Jonard turned his gun and fired at the attic, but unfortunately his angle was not enough to hit the machine gunner who was hiding in the attic wall.

At this time, the heroic Komanda team member appeared on the roof! He waved to Jonard, obviously asking Jonard to stop firing.

Just then, Jonard had used up all of his ammunition. He pulled open the bullet retaining plate and took out the empty ammunition chain.

Jonard stopped firing, but the Prosons on the ground also discovered the Komanda on the roof and began to concentrate fire with the Mauser 98Ks in their hands.

Jonard immediately put on a new ammunition belt and began to suppress the group of Prosen people.

Before he could completely suppress the enemy, Komanda on the roof stood up.

The 98K bullet shattered the tiles under his feet. It was obvious that the shooter did not adjust the sight correctly.

Komanda advanced amid the flying bullets, leaped to the attic window, took out two grenades, bit the pull ring with his teeth, and pulled out the safety pin.

He held a grenade in each hand and released the safety levers at the same time. He threw the one in his left hand into the room first. When he was about to throw the one in his right hand, a bullet hit him.

The young Komanda had a look of pain on his face, but he still struggled to throw the grenade in his right hand in.

Almost at the moment the grenades entered the house, the two grenades exploded at the same time, and the machine guns were blown out of the window and hit the ground.

The Komanda soldier collapsed beside the window, with 98K bullets still hitting him.

The tiles kept breaking and could not support the soldier's weight, so he slowly slid down the roof and fell to the ground, colliding with the machine gun.

Jonard saw what happened after the grenade exploded. He stood up, removed the machine gun from the tripod, held it in his hand, and fired at the enemy while roaring.

Martin was shocked when he saw this and shouted, "It will be more accurate if you put it on a tripod!"

Jonard: "Ohh ...

"Da Qiao, calm down!"
