Chapter 19: Wisdom
The second lieutenant chose the former, that is, to shoot the machine gunner...... Qin Chuan heard a tumbling sound on the roof, and at the same time a crisp gunshot rang out.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but admire the second lieutenant's sniping skills, he was able to shoot the enemy while rolling and dodging bullets...... And Qin Chuan was very sure that the second lieutenant had hit the target, otherwise the Vickers machine gun would have let out its monster-like roar at this moment.
But this is not a way after all, because if it continues like this, I am afraid that both the second lieutenant and Qin Chuan will have to pay the price of their lives, and in the end, it will not be able to stop the British army from fighting Vickers.
After thinking about it, Qin Chuan changed to a sniper position and poked out his gun and head again, and then shot out a bullet with a "bang".
This time, Qin Chuan's target was not a person, but the Vickers heavy machine gun...... The bullet hit the thick water-cooled barrel at the front of the machine gun very accurately, and in the scope, Qin Chuan could see its thick muzzle jumping upwards and then hanging down again.
Qin Chuan noticed that there was an extra column of water below it, like a hot spring, steaming while dripping water.
Qin Chuan didn't dare to observe any more, because at this time, the bullets of the British army were already flying in his direction, and he could only retract his head and wait silently.
Soon Qin Chuan was disappointed, because the terrifying machine gun sounded, and the dense bullets poured in the direction of the anti-tank guns on the other side of the street like flying sand and stones, Qin Chuan could even imagine the tragic scene of the anti-tank gun gunners lying in a pool of blood, but Qin Chuan could not do anything.
Thankfully, however, it didn't take long for the machine gun to fall silent.
Qin Chuan thought that this was most likely because the British soldiers didn't notice that the machine gun water cooler had leaked, so it was natural for them to ...... After a frenzied strafing fire, the barrel was deformed due to the high temperature, and then malfunctioned.
Usually such a fault cannot be solved in a short period of time, even if it is useless to fill it with water or plug the gap in the water cooler...... Unless it is replaced with a barrel.
Qin Chuan knew that they had finally gotten rid of this threat.
The anti-tank guns took advantage of this time to continue firing at the target...... In fact, this is already all the anti-tank guns on the artillery replenishment and the last ten shells.
Qin Chuan looked through the crack in the wall to the explosion point of the anti-tank gun, and saw that the load-bearing wall had been blasted out of a big crater by dozens of shells from the anti-tank gun, but perhaps the quality of the building was excellent, even if the masonry had been blown off like flour, the building was still intact.
Soon the anti-tank guns were silent again.
Qin Chuan hurriedly ran back and shouted at the artillerymen dozens of meters behind: "What's the matter? A few more shots! It's going to collapse! ”
The artillerymen saw Qin Chuan, but they couldn't hear what Qin Chuan said in the sound of gunfire, but they could guess what Qin Chuan meant...... The response they gave to Qin Chuan was to shake their heads and spread their hands.
Qin Chuan understood what they meant: there are no shells!
"Fuck it!" Qin Chuan scolded, just a little bit, maybe he only needed a few more shells...... But now all of that is in vain!
The angry Qin Chuan raised his rifle and pulled the trigger at the big crater that the anti-tank gun had blown up......
This was just Qin Chuan venting his anger, but what he didn't expect was that with a bang of the school, the entire west side collapsed, and then the east side...... All that was left was a small part of the east side, still holding on to the shells and bullets that came and went.
At this time, the sound of gunfire suddenly slowed down...... The reason for this was partly because the collapse of the school made the British army much less firepower, and on the other hand, both the enemy and us were so shocked by this scene that they forgot to shoot.
It took a long time for the Germans to wake up from their shock, and Bazel shouted: "Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to avenge your comrades, attack!" ”
"Attack!"
"Kill them all!"
……
German soldiers shouted slogans and rushed towards the ruined school like a flood of banks......
Needless to say, the next battle will not be said.
The school was originally the strongest defense of the British army, and the British army was very relieved of it, but because of this, they did not make much preparations, so when the school collapsed, the British army completely exposed the weak parts in front of the German army, and the German army was like a steel knife straight into the rear of the British army to attack its vulnerable artillery.
This soon caused a chain reaction, and soon the British troops along the entire line of defense abandoned their light and heavy weapons and fled in all directions.
Qin Chuan sat on the ground with his ass, looking at the German troops rushing forward like ants below, and couldn't help but smirk: he didn't expect that the bullet he inadvertently fired would become the last straw that crushed the entire building, it seems that the goddess of fate is still on his side.
A cigarette was handed to Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan looked up and found that it was a second lieutenant, with a few bloodshots on his face and a sniper rifle under his armpit, standing calmly beside Qin Chuan.
"Well done, private!" said the second lieutenant.
"Thank you!" Qin Chuan took the cigarette: "You play better!" ”
"Maybe!" The second lieutenant replied coldly: "But I didn't expect to shoot at the water-cooled barrel of the machine gun, let alone shoot at the building!" ”
"It was just an accident!" Qin Chuan replied.
The second lieutenant shook his head, then patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said, "A real sniper is a gunner who can use wisdom, and you will become an excellent sniper!" ”
With that, he left on his own.
"I don't know your name yet!" Qin Chuan shouted behind him.
The lieutenant waved his hand without looking back, indicating that it didn't matter.
It really doesn't matter, because this is the battlefield, and knowing his name today may not exist anymore.
So, the important thing is that there was such a person, such a thing, and as for the rest, there is not much difference between knowing and not knowing.
It took more than half an hour for Qin Chuan to find his troops...... After the school was blown up, the baker and others joined the pursuit of the Germans.
Seeing Qin Chuan coming up from behind, Da Xiong shouted happily: "Hey, who do you think is coming?" ”
"Our big hero!" Werner turned around and hugged Qin Chuan warmly: "Do you know? You've put me to shame! ”
"Ashamed?"
"Yes!" "Not so long ago I was boasting that I blew up a building, but now ...... You blew up a building ten times bigger, and you used a rifle! ”
Everyone laughed.
"Well done, Flick!" The baker patted Qin Chuan's shoulder: "However, you may not be able to stay in my army!" ”
"Why?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but wonder for a while.
"Because ......," replied the baker, "before you returned, the captain appointed you the leader of the third squad!"
