With other troops, the beach landing operation will not necessarily be successful, let alone gain a foothold, as was the case with the Austro-Hungarian Legion during the Battle of the Dardanelles.

The 2nd Cavalry Division was obviously more well prepared, and had already conducted two exercises in Dunkirk before the landing of the troops, and all the commanders and fighters were well aware of the matters that needed to be paid attention to in the landing operation, so without the need for reminders from the officers, Huang Hai and Horace found a temporary position suitable for hypothetical machine guns.

As soon as he fired two bursts at the German machine-gun position in a pillbox, 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.

"Bring your machine guns and come with me, we need fire support-" The second lieutenant shouted 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.

"What should I do, sir?" Horace was miserable with a bullet box, and he didn't know what he was supposed to do.

"Let's go, let's go with the second lieutenant-" Huang Hai did not hesitate, on the premise of not being able to find his direct commander, he had to accept the order of a higher-ranking commander.

Then let's go, half of the ammunition in the machine gun magazine did not need to be replaced, Horace put the spare magazine in his backpack, and when he picked up the rifle, he angrily glanced at the German pillbox, and then followed the Yellow Sea with a gray face.

The second lieutenant's unit was to attack a German artillery position, closing all the way along the way, and the second lieutenant had nearly 30 soldiers under his command.

The soldiers belonged to three different units, the 2nd Cavalry Division, the 21st Division in the British mainland, and the 5th Integrated Division from Canada.

Of all the thirty men, Huang Hai and Horace were the most armed, both armed with pistols in addition to rifles and light machine guns, and Horace also carried a few extra grenades.

"Okay gentlemen, now we will begin to clarify the combat mission, our goal is a German artillery position two kilometers from there, and the German unit responsible for guarding the position is a company, but I don't think this German company will become an obstacle for us, we must clear this German position as soon as possible, otherwise our fleet off the sea will be threatened by the Germans." The captain and company commander are estimated to be almost fifty years old, and they are very similar to the second lieutenant.

"There's no problem, Huang, you're our hero, and you're going to provide cover for our troops—" The captain has a good attitude towards the Yellow Sea, and combat heroes are always respected.

"I'm fine." Huang Hai's words are concise and to the point.

"Great, then let's go at once-" The captain couldn't wait, opportunities were always fleeting, and no one could guarantee that German reinforcements would not appear.

Two kilometers is not too far, and according to the training intensity of the Southern African Expeditionary Force on weekdays, it can be won in one sprint.

As a result, this time the Yellow Sea and Horace walked for a full hour, crushing two waves of German troops trying to resist along the way, and only then reached the German artillery position.

Huang Hai and Horace were both veterans, so they randomly found a piece of higher ground and began to prepare machine gun positions.

The easiest way to prepare a machine gun position is to prepare more sandbags, the protection of the Asha Storm is indeed not as good as the steel and concrete, but the cost of the sandbag position is low, the speed is fast, and it can also provide some protection for the soldiers, so the sandbag is a fixed repertoire of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, and almost everyone is proficient in it.

"Tom, lead your squad and assist the Yellow Sea Sergeant in the battle, remember, if the situation is not good, then you must show up in time to save us-" The captain and company commander don't think there is any shame in this, the Chinese are all pragmatists, and the gods of the Chinese are the ancestors of the Chinese, this is not a small cross that can be replaced.

After a short break, the captain led his troops in a formal attack on the German artillery positions.

The machine-gun positions in the Yellow Sea were faced with a large pile of backpacks, some of which contained freshly written suicide notes, and the captain's company commander's troops, who had nothing but pistols and grenades, had to charge as fast as they could, rushing through the German positions without stopping, and then throwing grenades into the barrels of German artillery.

At this time, the Yellow Sea began to shoot, and four people were responsible for cooperating with the Yellow Sea, Horace was still responsible for changing the magazine, a soldier on the other side of the Yellow Sea was responsible for changing the barrel, and behind a stone next to you, a second lieutenant was looking at the German positions with a telescope.

He is an observer of the Yellow Sea.

"Ten...... Ten...... Ten...... Yellow, your direction at ten o'clock, spotting the small German troops—" The second lieutenant's voice changed with excitement.

Huang Hai was not excited, quietly moved the muzzle, and directly pulled the trigger with a slight aim.

Click-

The sound of general-purpose machine gun fire was brisk and crisp, and the German troops trying to counterattack were on their backs, and the second lieutenant was reluctant to put down his binoculars.

Horace did not hesitate, placing the muzzle of his gun on a neatly stacked blanket, also trying to shoot at the Germans.

Click-click-click-

The sound of the firing pin hitting the air did not need to be reminded by Huang Hai, the soldier on the left was busy changing the light, Horace was busy changing the magazine, and ten seconds later, Huang Hai's light machine gun began to roar again.

Buzz –

The roar of aircraft engines roared through the sky, and 24 silver planes were flying towards Bruges, and directly above them were sixty four-engine strategic bombers, also flying towards Bruges.

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

The power of strategic bombers does not lie in how much damage they inflict on the enemy or how many strategic targets they destroy, but in creating a psychological shadow on the people in the rear of the hostile countries, so that they can personally feel the threat of war, thereby reducing the morale of the German army and the people.

Since the entry of the four-engine bombers, both Bruges and Ghent have suffered heavy casualties, Ghent, as the German transit center in Belgium, has been almost razed to the ground, and the four-engine heavy bombers can carry bombs weighing up to 1,500 pounds, which is not far behind the big Beretta that can only be fired in two hours, no matter how strong the fortress is, as long as it is directly hit by a 1,500-pound aerial bomb, there is only one end.

Huang Hai didn't care about the plane, his eyes never left the crosshairs, and the ace shooter was indeed worthy of his name, Huang Hai almost suppressed a platoon of German troops with a light machine gun, and the attacking troops successfully rushed into the artillery position without much resistance.

"Sir, should we move forward?" Horace questioned the ensign with his goggles.

"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 pouted, packed up their belongings, and withdrew from their positions at random.

The gunfire on the beachhead was still intense, and as Huang Hai and Horace walked back, they were surprised to find a German fortress in front of them.

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

"Sir, we should take that fortress down." Horace was righteous.

"There is at least one platoon in that fort defended by the Germans, and there are only two of us-" It's not that the Yellow Sea doesn't want to fight, but it really can't be beaten, two people fight fifty people, and this is not a network.

"You cover me with a machine gun, I throw grenades close to the bunker, we don't need to wipe out all the German troops, as long as we can distract the Germans and liberate our troops from the beachhead-" Horace's voice became quieter and quieter, this was not actually the task of Huang Hai and Horace, Huang Hai and Horace were only responsible for fire cover.

"You let me suppress a platoon of Germans by myself?" Huang Hai was about to collapse, the Germans were not pigs, forty or fifty people attacked together, and Huang Hai couldn't withstand even three heads and six arms.

"It won't take too long, a dozen seconds at most—" Horace had already begun to stuff grenades into the equipment on his chest, there were still two magazines left in his backpack, and all the magazines carried by Huang Hai had been emptied.

Two and a half, or three bullet boxes, against a platoon of German troops, this is still a situation when the German army has no reinforcements, the Yellow Sea is really a headache, and Horace is really not afraid of death.

"Sir, get ready, I'm leaving—" Horace was not joking, he had a pistol in one hand and a grenade in the other, a sapper shovel and a dagger, but a rifle still by the Yellow Sea's side.

"A deflated calf, I'll clean you up after I'm done—" Huang Hai didn't bother to complain, and immediately put down the bipod of the general-purpose machine gun and put it on a stone on the edge of the trench.

Before Horace could attack, several German soldiers carrying bullet boxes suddenly turned around in the trenches around the Yellow Sea.

When the Yellow Sea discovered the German soldiers, the German soldiers also discovered the Yellow Sea, and both sides were a little stunned for a moment.

After all, the Yellow Sea is a battle-hardened battle, so he threw a grenade at hand, and then picked up a light machine gun and shot in a crouching position.

When the grenade was thrown, the German soldier carrying the bullet box was startled, and the German soldier who was walking in front threw down the bullet box and turned to run.

Before the German soldiers in the back could figure out what was going on, the two-meter-wide trench was suddenly crowded.

Click-

At this time, Huang Hai began to shoot, and he didn't need to aim carefully, the muzzle of the gun was slightly down, and he just pulled the trigger and didn't let go.

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

Now Huang Hai knows that a 7.7mm bullet can penetrate at least two people's bodies in a row, and then stay in the body of a third person.

The screams in the trenches suddenly rose to the sky, and the rows of German soldiers staggered like sugar gourds, and no one noticed that the grenade that the Yellow Sea 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 insurance pin.
