Chapter 411: Suppression

But this time, the U.S. military is clearly going to be disappointed again.

While the cannon was still roaring, Qin Chuan led his soldiers out of the high ground and climbed along the communication trench to the top of the mountain...... In fact, the traffic trench no longer exists, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a mountain top, Qin Chuan and the others couldn't believe that this was the Onna Heights where they had stayed.

As soon as the soldiers climbed to the top of the hill and the opposite side of the position, a "boom" of bullets was fired.

It was an anti-aircraft machine gun mounted by the Americans on the opposite high ground...... Although it was more than 100 meters lower than Enna Heights, it could barely see this side and suppressed it with anti-aircraft machine guns.

This was followed by several mortar shells exploding near the soldiers, which were also mortar shells from the opposite heights.

This may have been a good tactic, using anti-aircraft machine guns and mortars to suppress the Germans, while the Americans quickly leaped to the top of the hill under their cover...... Once the Americans rushed to the top of the hill, a volley of grenades followed by a flood of American troops would rush up and string the Germans on bayonets.

But the U.S. military overlooked the fact that Onna was always higher than the U.S. military's high ground.

Since it is higher than the U.S. military, it means that there are always places where you can see the U.S. military from Onna Heights, but the U.S. military can't see or can only see a small part of the position.

So, this is where snipers come into play.

Qin Chuan glanced at Kuhn, and Kuhn ran away with Qin Chuan separately.

Qin Chuan ran along the ridge line for a while, then found a position, squatted down, held the gun in his hand, and prepared to shoot.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Kuhn fired it from the other end.

Kuhn's shot was fired indiscriminately in order to attract the attention of the American troops, and he ran away immediately after the shot.

The American troops, who did not have much combat experience, were fooled, and the anti-aircraft machine guns immediately fired rows of bullets at Kuhn's original position, and at the same time, mortar shells also came one after another.

However, at this moment, Qin Chuan came up with a gun here, and pulled the trigger almost at the same time as the crosshair locked on to a US soldier.

With a "bang", the sound of the machine gun stopped abruptly, and the American soldier fell to the ground as soon as he leaned back.

The other US machine gunner was not slow, and immediately turned the head of the gun and aimed at Qin Chuan, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, there was a "bang" on the other end...... Kuhn's bullet knocked the Heavy to the ground.

Then there was another "bang", and this time it was Qin Chuan's turn.

Qin Chuan and Kuhn shot each other, and quickly suppressed several machine guns and mortars on the US high ground...... This is actually very cooperative, because the K98K is a pull-bolt rifle with a slow rate of fire, and there are many targets on the opposite high ground, and sometimes no matter how fast the hand is, it is impossible to kill the target in time.

At this time, it is necessary for the two to work together to kill those targets that pose a threat in time.

This may seem simple, but if there is a poor coordination, such as two people aiming at the same target and firing, the result can lead to the sniper being suppressed by the enemy or even casualties.

However, this scene did not happen, and these covering fires on the high ground of the US army were quickly suppressed by the sniper rifles of Qin Chuan and Kuhn...... This is also one of the reasons why the armies of various countries are vigorously developing snipers at this time, just a rifle and a few bullets, such a low cost in the hands of well-trained snipers, but can play an effect that mortars, machine guns, etc. cannot achieve.

The American troops who rushed to the middle of the mountain were a little anxious to see that their covering units were suppressed, and they knew that if they continued to grind like this, they would soon have their own scene again: the Germans condescendingly fired rows of bullets at them, and they did not even see the shadow of the enemy.

So as the officer shouted, the American troops shouted and rushed to the hilltop position with bayonets...... They apparently intended to enter German positions in hand-to-hand combat before the Germans were ready for defense.

Although the U.S. military is not good at hand-to-hand combat, they are of course more willing to choose hand-to-hand combat in such a situation where the number is disproportionate and the terrain is always unfavorable.

However, this is just wishful thinking on their part.

With a whistle, the German soldiers lit the grenades they had prepared and threw them in the other direction...... The characteristic of the ridge line of the hilltop position is that this side is an anti-inclined plane and the other side is a positive inclined plane, which means that the soldiers threw the grenade out in this way, and they threw it in front of the American soldiers who were charging on the positive slope, and the German soldiers did not even have to raise their heads.

Then, there was a roar and screams of American soldiers on the front slope.

Soon there was another whistle, and grenades were thrown in rows from the other side of the hilltop position...... The U.S. military also wanted to use the same method to throw grenades against the Germans, but it soon became clear that this would not work.

First of all, the U.S. military did not know the position and situation of the German troops on the other slope, and the grenade was basically thrown by the Meng.

Secondly, the American army was in a low place and the German army was in a high place, which meant that the German army could throw grenades at the feet of the American troops, while the American troops could not necessarily drop grenades at the German positions.

Again, what is more important is that the US military uses oval grenades.

Of course, the oval grenade has many advantages, such as small size, light weight, easy to carry, etc., but it also has disadvantages...... The throw distance is not as good as that of a wooden-handled grenade.

However, this disadvantage is not the point here, the point is that the oval grenade will roll back.

You must know that at this time, the US military is under the inclined plane, and the grenade is still delayed exploding, in case it fails to throw the inclined plane...... That would roll back into your camp and explode.

The U.S. troops were all a group of recruits, and of course they did not dare to take this risk, so they could only be bombed by German grenades in batches.

It didn't take long for the U.S. military to drop a pile of corpses under the cover of mortars and retreat.

"Hell!" Major General Allen angrily scolded: "Can't the Germans be blown up?" Did they come out of the ground?! ”

"They just came out of the ground!" A voice rang out behind Major General Allen.

Major General Allen looked back and saw that it was General Patton, and he hurriedly greeted him and shook hands with General Patton.

"General, you shouldn't be here!" Major General Allen said.

"Where else could I go?" Barton replied, "Hang out with those British idiots?" ”

As he spoke, Barton held up his binoculars and looked toward Onna Heights.

In fact, Major General Allen is right, the US military system actually does not allow army commanders like General Patton to go to the front line in person, and they should stay in the headquarters to coordinate the operations of the whole army, the supply of supplies in the rear, and the work of liaising with their superiors.

But it is clear that General Patton did not take these systems into account.
