Expedition to Europe

Security for big shots has always been a very tricky job.

The Germans are no exception.

For big shots like Ludendorff, in addition to Ludendorff's guards, there is also a department dedicated to collecting peripheral intelligence.

Of course, all security work is preventive, and this passive defense will definitely give people an opportunity to take advantage, especially when there are internal personnel working together.

In fact, when all the preliminary work is completed, it doesn't matter who fires the last shot. In the era when there are scopes to assist, as long as you have a little basic knowledge, you can basically complete a sniper kill at 500 or 600 meters.

After all, it's not thousands of meters at a time, so the requirements are not that high.

But in order to ensure that there is no mistake, Qin Zhiyuan still chose a top gunner like McTavish.

The top gunner is indeed extraordinary.

After McTavish fired, he almost didn't observe whether he hit the target through the scope, and threw two grenades directly below, and then began to climb up quickly along the prepared rope.

McTavish had enough confidence that Ludendorff was dead and could not die any more.

One shot was fatal, this was the reason why Qin Zhiyuan chose McTavish from the list of hundreds of people.

When the gunshot just sounded, the three German soldiers under the cliff seemed to be stunned in disbelief, and they did not react for several seconds.

By the time they reacted, the loyal and brave Blackback had come to the middle of the three German soldiers with a smoking grenade in his mouth.

What a pitfall!

Boom...

A violent explosion sounded, smoke and dust filled the air, shrapnel raged, and gravel flew everywhere.

The three German soldiers were either dead or injured.

Just like the gunshot just now, McTavish still did not determine the results, and quickly climbed up the rope.

Climb to the top of the mountain, over this hill, there are vast mountains and ridges, and McTavish is sure to escape.

The cliff where McTavish was lurking was only forty or fifty meters away from the top of the mountain. With McTavish's speed, he would definitely be able to climb up within a minute.

But in just this short minute, the German soldiers who were looking for sniper points had already noticed this place.

Even if the gunshots were not noticeable, the violent explosion just now was enough to point out the direction for the German soldiers.

So soon, German soldiers on motorcycles chased out of the barracks and rushed towards the cliff.

At the same time, the heavy machine guns in the bunker at the entrance of the German command department also began to fire, and the target was McTavish who was about to climb to the top of the mountain.

Those who were qualified to serve as Ludendorff's guards must be the elite among the elites. Many of them were even better than McTavish in comprehensive quality. In this case, it was really difficult for McTavish to escape.

Even the machine gunners in the bunker at the door were elites. The distance was less than 600 meters, but the bullets fired by the MG08 heavy machine gun hit McTavish around him, and the gravel splashed by the bullets even hit McTavish's face.

Those MG08s were not equipped with scopes, and the quality of the machine gunners was evident.

That is, the German soldiers wanted to capture him alive. Otherwise, even if there were more McTavishes in just a dozen seconds, they would not be able to escape.

Soon, McTavish climbed to the top of the mountain, rolled over the top of the mountain with his hands and feet, and disappeared on the other side of the mountain.

The chasing German soldiers had already arrived at the bottom of the cliff.

So the chase took place in the mountains.

Ludendorff's loyal guards vowed to capture him alive, to find out the murderer behind the scenes, and to avenge their god in their hearts.

McTavish was a good sniper, and he was also good at escaping. Even in prison, McTavish never stopped exercising. If the German soldiers wanted to kill McTavish, he would have died countless times, but it was not easy to capture McTavish alive. In the mountains, McTavish was more flexible than a monkey.

After all, the German army was large in number. They could chase McTavish in batches without stopping, making McTavish exhausted and unable to rest, and finally he could only surrender.

McTavish understood the consequences of this, so he would try to set traps at the corners of the mountain road and beside the cliffs to slow down the pace of the pursuers.

The backpack that McTavish took from the foot of the mountain contained some tools that could be used, but the number was not large, and there would always be a time when they would run out.

So after escaping about 10 kilometers, McTavish finally couldn't run anymore and was surrounded in a cave.

It was actually less than 30 kilometers away from Laon.

And Laon is still garrisoned by the Foreign Legion.

But these 30 kilometers are so close yet so far away.

McTavish had a pistol with only one box of bullets, 8 rounds.

McTavish carefully checked all the bullets, took out one and put it aside, and then put the bullet back into the magazine after thinking about it.

Even if he was captured, McTavish decided to live.

He must insist on living, just to see that figure again.

"Listen, man, you have no way to escape. Laying down your weapons and surrendering is your only choice. You are still young, there is no need to die in this unknown cave. Come out, I can promise to give you treatment commensurate with your status. If you confess who instructed you, then you may get something for it..."

Outside the cave, intermittent voices of persuading surrender were heard, and they were repeated back and forth in multiple languages.

McTavish ignored him. He was carefully looking for other passages in the cave leading to other places.

Soon, McTavish was completely desperate. This was a dead end with no forks.

When the Germans persuaded him to surrender, they did not give up the armed attack. A commando team of six people was quickly formed. These people broke in by force and tried to capture McTavish alive as much as possible.

That's right, the order of "must be captured alive" has been changed to "as much as possible", that is, from now on, there is no guarantee for McTavish's life.

When all the preparations were ready, the commando team began to attack.

At this time, the sky had begun to darken. If they did not attack again, when night fell, McTavish's hope of escape would increase greatly. This is also the reason why the German order changed.

It would be good to capture him alive, but if they could not catch him, then killing him on the spot would be an explanation.

In the cave, McTavish still did his best to make a trap and prepared for the final resistance.

This cave is still quite deep, with complex terrain and rugged rocks, which gave McTavish an opportunity.

Even though the German commandos were skilled, they were unable to defend against McTavish's traps. After all, they were more proficient in frontal combat and were not good at these little tricks.

The German commandos were already cautious enough, but they were still ambushed at a corner. A large rock was just above them, cleverly supported by a small wooden stick. As long as it encountered external force, the small wooden stick would break at any time, and then the rock would roll down.

The commandos were not prepared for such a trap, so the rock was knocked down by a careless commando. There was a loud bang, and the large rock rolled down towards the commandos.

The commandos were unable to dodge, and two commandos died with their brains splattered, and one commando had his leg broken.

While the other three commandos were in shock, McTavish flashed out less than ten meters in front of them, half-knelt on the ground and began to shoot one by one with a pistol.

The original text is available at Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

Pah, pah, pah…

The sound of the pistol was crisp and pleasant, echoing back and forth in the narrow cave, but it sounded so heartbreaking.

Two commandos were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

The German commandos were also veterans, and the last commando immediately raised his gun to fight back.

Ta-ta-ta-ta…

The flames spurted out, and the chain of fire composed of orange-red bullets rolled towards McTavish.

The German commandos were equipped with Berkman MP18 submachine guns. This kind of gun is not very powerful in the wild, but in a narrow room, it is simply a life-threatening spirit-calling banner.

"Uh..." McTavish was pushed heavily against the stone wall behind him by the bullet, and he groaned in pain.

Even though he was shot, McTavish did not stop shooting.

Pah, pah…ta-ta

The gunshots were still crisp, and fortunately, before the last bullet was used up, the last German commando was also knocked down.

Perhaps it was because of the sound of the firing pin hitting the air that the German soldier with a broken leg turned around and shouted, then, despite the fact that one leg could no longer exert force, he jumped up and threw McTavish, who was trying to pick up the gun, to the ground.

So the two men rolled on the ground and fought, punching each other, trying their best to kill each other.

The German commando had a broken leg, so he could not fully exert force and his strength was greatly reduced.

McTavish had been chased for more than ten kilometers and his physical strength was exhausted. This was his last bit of courage.

The two sides were actually evenly matched.

The narrow cave was filled with heavy panting, roars when exerting force, mixed with painful groans, entangled with each other, and it took a long time to stop.

Outside the cave, more than 20 German soldiers surrounded the cave entrance in a semicircle, as if they had not heard the fighting in the cave just now, and they just surrounded the cave entrance quietly.

After half an hour, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, the man fell to the ground without any movement.

The clothes on the man were German uniforms.

This person was McTavish. The reason why he delayed for so long was that the German commando was indeed difficult to deal with, and on the other hand, he had to change clothes to hide the truth.

An officer with the rank of second lieutenant had a complicated expression and made a gesture to the people around him. Several soldiers approached carefully. Two people drove the wounded who was lying at the entrance of the cave out, and several soldiers carefully searched inside the cave.

Three steps, two steps, one step...

Seeing that they were about to pass by, McTavish was secretly happy in his heart. After passing this level, he could escape again. It was already night, and McTavish was confident enough to disappear in the mountains.

Just as they were about to pass by, the second lieutenant patted McTavish's shoulder heavily.

For a moment, McTavish felt that his heart was about to jump out.

"Old Mac, you've worked hard!" the lieutenant whispered in McTavish's ear.

Chinese, this is actually Chinese.

McTavish, who had participated in Chinese training in Corsica, could certainly understand this sentence, especially the "Old Mac", which was unprecedentedly friendly.

On July 20, Ludendorff was sniped from a long distance. The killer used a 98B rifle produced by the German Mauser factory.

I'm afraid Ludendorff could never have thought that he would die under a rifle produced by the Germans.

Of course, what Ludendorff could not have imagined was that it was a German who planned his murder, and he was a member of the royal family.

After hearing the news, Qin Zhiyuan sat alone in the headquarters and did not go out for a whole day.

Ludendorff was supposed to die in 1937, but now he died in 1918. This shows that in this time and space, some things that Qin Zhiyuan was very familiar with may not happen, and some names that Qin Zhiyuan once heard of may not appear.

Everything is a new beginning.

After hearing the news of Ludendorff's assassination, Paris and London fell into a carnival, and almost everyone rushed to the streets to be excited about the news.

According to statistics, the sales of alcohol in Paris on that day doubled compared to usual.

When the news reached Berlin, it is said that William II first stood indifferent for an hour, then summoned the cabinet ministers, announced the death of Ludendorff, and then ordered Ludendorff's coffin to be transported back to Berlin and buried with the etiquette of a state funeral.

There was also a rumor that William II was very happy in the palace that night. He drank some wine, which was rare for him, and then fell asleep in a happy mood.
