Chapter 38 Blood Road (3)
Posted "I can't believe it, we still didn't hit him, Wilson."
Sergeant Scott handed the empty magazine to the deputy shooter Halche, who was squatting at his feet, and then took a new twenty-round magazine from the ammunition box next to the stairs and inserted it into the magazine of his Bren machine gun.
Posted "He has been running in the yard for more than half an hour. This damn German guy looks quite happy."
Scott pulled the bolt hard and shot three shots out the window.
Posted "I must kill him this time, we have caught him, I don't believe he will never make mistakes, pay attention to the left, damn it, he was fooled by him again."
Private Wilson spat down the tower, and the depressed sniper pulled the bolt of his 1903 rifle fiercely, and the three-zero bullet shell rolled in the air and jumped down onto the solid stone slab steps of the church tower, making a series of crisp jingles.
Posted "As long as he moves again, I will definitely be able to blow his head."
Wilson flexibly squatted down to avoid a rain of bullets shot from the wall. He held his helmet and shouted loudly at Scott, and the heavy rain bullets hit the brick exterior wall and the small windowsill to shake up a cloud of smoke.
Post "It's my turn now."
After the bullet rain, Wilson slowly stood up. He turned his face and took a deep breath several times, then put his eyes on the scope and slowly placed his fingers on the trigger.
He stared at his German enemy's hidden position, and he finally forced the German sniper into this desperate situation. The statue of the Virgin is indeed a good place to avoid bullets, but it is really too conspicuous. If the German guy wants to fight back, he will immediately become his best target.
Scott's machine gun blocked all the retreat of this German man, and there was a total of fifteen meters between the sculpture and the flower bed closest to it that could be used as a cover. Unless the German had an armored head, he would never be able to run this distance again under his muzzle.
It has been more than half an hour since Wilson became a real sniper, and since Wilson became such a real sniper, he has never felt so suspicious and disappointed about his marksmanship as he is today.
The German sniper was as flexible and cunning as a hamster, and his maneuvering was rapid and violent, which caught Wilson off guard. What made Wilson even more depressed was that the guy seemed to have unparalleled good luck.
So far, Wilson wasted four-clip bullets on that guy, but he didn't even hurt the other party, which really made this corporal who claimed to be the best sniper in the Marine Corps feel a little frustrated and embarrassed.
Posted "He is coming out soon, very good, very good, take your time, I see you, boy... Come to Daddy, be good boy, come out a little more..."
Posted Wilson stared at the target in the scope and muttered.
Scott looked up at the sniper and found that the face, which was originally handsome, was now twisted and a bit ferocious. The machine gunner felt a chill on his back. It seemed that the German guy really made this proud guy angry.
The crisp gunshots of "Table!~" sounded without warning. The recoil made Wilson's body slightly shake, and Scott, who was observing him, shivered.
Post "I think I hit him!" Wilson shouted loudly.
Post "Damn it, don't stand there stupidly, be a kid."
Cotter grabbed Wilson's trouser leg and dragged the excited sniper to the stairs. Almost at the same time, a storm of bullets swept across the narrow tower, and a heavy rain of brick debris, burned eighteenth-century pieces of wood and roof tiles fell on the heads of three British soldiers.
Posted "It seems you've made the Germans unhappy, Wilson."
Scott squatted on the stairs holding his head and shouted at the sniper, his other hand holding the trigger of the machine gun and firing blindly outside.
Posted "It seems like that."
The sniper was still in the excitement of killing the German soldier, and he smiled and squeezed his eyes at the machine gunner.
Another fierce fire was released, and the Germans and the British fired wildly at each other with their respective weapons. On this special battlefield, the remnants of the British commando, who were supposed to be prey, actually had the advantage. They quickly suppressed the Germans with fierce automatic weapons.
The release was like the first dozen firefights, and the Germans quickly stopped their meaningless attacks, and the provocative ridicule and cheers of the British were heard in the church.
Posted "From the current situation, we should be able to stick to it until the evening."
Funter picked up the wine bottle on the table and raised his head and took a big sip of wine, then slurped the wine bottle on the table.
Post "I'm willing to trust your judgment, Captain, but I always have a premonition that the Germans are doing very strange now..."
A lieutenant frowned and said, his forehead was covered with bandages, his military uniform was covered with oil and blood, and only one side of the epaulette was left.
Posted "Where is your courage? Stevenson, we have defeated the Germans for more than a dozen attacks now. As long as we persist until the evening, we can implement a breakthrough and we will definitely be able to return to Britain."
Another lieutenant patted Stevenson on the shoulder and then turned his face to Major Todd, who was staring at the map, and said, "Sir, you see that too."
Release "Stevenson's premonition has always been very accurate, and this time will be no exception, Lieutenant Thor."
Posted Todd looked up at his officers.
"It seems that we were ambushed at all was not accidental. The Germans have been prepared for us. They set a trap for us, which is beyond doubt. There must be spies inside us. This time we are just throwing ourselves into the trap, so I don't expect us to escape from this trap. I am ready to sacrifice my life for the country."
Todd straightened his chest and straightened the hem of his military uniform.
"However, this does not mean that we have failed. As long as there is still a glimmer of opportunity, I will not give up easily. Besides, our mission has not completely gone bankrupt, and we can at least complete part of it."
"We now have only twenty-seven soldiers and four officers left. Although the ammunition is sufficient, the personnel are exhausted. They have been fighting for a whole night and are exhausted. If the Germans continue to attack like this, I am afraid they will not last long."
"The one who fell down first must be the Germans, and Gomand would not be defeated by such problems."
Posted "I believe in your courage and perseverance, Lieutenant Thor. But do you think we can get rid of the current dilemma with these? What we lack now is the strength of troops, our soldiers cannot be rotated, and even the minor wounded are fighting. On the surface, we do resist the attacks of the Germans, but I think this situation will not last long. We must come up with a more practical solution. We cannot let the soldiers die in vain just for your beliefs, and even if they die, they will die in value."
Posted "Do you think the sacrifices of those brothers last night were worthless? Lieutenant Stevenson!"
Thor jumped up suddenly and glared at his colleagues angrily.
Posted "I didn't say that, Lieutenant, they died bravely on the battlefield, and they died heroically for the king and for the empire."
Posted Stevenson's stare at Thor was not concerned, he picked up the cup and took a sip of the wine slowly, but if anyone was careful, he would find that his hands were trembling slightly now.
Posted "Then why you said that, you made me wonder if you still have the courage and honor that a British official should have."
Posting “It doesn’t matter whether I have the courage or not, what matters is now.”
Stevenson put down his wine glass and stood up slowly. He looked at Thor's eyes and said calmly: "I must be responsible for my remaining subordinates."
Post "You..."
Posted "You both stay silent! Thor, Stevenson, now is not the time to argue!"
Posting Todd stopped the situation from getting worse before a possible fight began, he continued to scold: "Thor, you're too impulsive! Sit down. Stevenson, you should also pay attention to your remarks. Fortunately, there are no soldiers present, and you really disappoint me a little."
Posted "Lieutenant Vincent and those two squadrons are like? Sir!"
Post Stevenson turned his face suddenly and looked at Todd, with a hint of contempt and resentment in his eyes.
Post "What do you mean, you...why are you mentioning this, Lieutenant...who are you questioning the decision of the superior? Sit down immediately, Stevenson!"
Todd never thought he would see the expression against him from his subordinates, and he felt insulted.
Post "I think I've disappointed you last night, is that true, sir, and Lieutenant Vincent and the soldiers of those two squads, are they disappointed you the same, sir."
Posted Stevenson stared at Todd fearlessly, and his face suddenly turned into a sauce-purple color.
Post "You...I don't understand what you are saying, this is slander!" Todd roared angrily.
Post "I hit your point, sir!"
Stevenson raised his chin provocatively, while the other two officers present stood there and stared at the scene in front of him in a daze. At that moment, time seemed to stop.
