"Bang!" With a single shot, Qin Chuan shot and killed a tank commander who poked his head out of the "Sherman" tank.

The tank commander probably thought that the Germans would not notice him before it was full of light and the smoke and dust and mist from the front line and the bombardment.

So, driven by curiosity, he opened the hatch of the tank and poked his head out to carefully look at the opposite side with a telescope...... Of course, this can't be said to be entirely curiosity, because a poor line of sight means that it is difficult for the tank to observe the enemy's firepower, and he also hopes to better command the tank to suppress the German firepower and cover the American soldiers.

But Qin Chuan's bullet ended his mission, and at the same time, it also made the US tank commander dare not try to do so...... The U.S. tank communication was very good, and after one of the commanders was killed, the other tank crews immediately notified the other tanks through walkie-talkies:

"Fuck it, the second lieutenant is down, he was killed by a sniper!"

"The Germans had snipers, they had snipers!"

"Don't poke your head out of the tank, be careful, don't poke your head out of the tank!"

……

The Americans' operations have always been accompanied by nervous calls and warnings, although sometimes only a trifle...... This will make them feel like other units are fighting together in battle, and it is also a way to release stress and relieve tension.

"Bang!" Another shot.

The target of this gun was not a person, but a rubber boat.

The U.S. troops who piloted the dinghy seemed to have been trained to dodge enemy fire in the water...... They don't try to keep a straight line in the water like other kayaks or assault boats.

The average person is accustomed to walking in a straight line, which makes them need to use an extra part of the force to counteract the speed of the river, so the natural speed of progress is slow.

And the rubber boat was lowered from upstream, and this distance was clearly calculated...... This calculation is actually very easy, you only need to know the speed of the current and then estimate the speed at which the rubber boat is going, and do a simple conversion between distance, speed and time to find out where to drop it upstream.

To put it simply, they go with the flow, and all their strength is used to paddling forward.

This will not only minimize the time it takes to cross the river, but also make the dinghy faster and more difficult to aim at than the Germans...... This gives them a better chance of landing.

But Qin Chuan's bullet made them desperate, the rubber boat was pierced, and the air quickly leaked out of the bullet hole, and then the rubber boat became more and more difficult to row, and finally the American soldiers on it could only abandon the boat and jump into the river.

"Bang!" The shot knocked down a communicator, who was lying down on the assault boat and shouting loudly.

In the next second, Qin Chuan's bullet destroyed him along with the synchronous talkie...... As a quasi-modern force, what the US military is most worried about is not that the officer will be killed, but that the officer will be killed and replaced by another commander; It's not that the medics were killed, they all know that the medics are more of a comfort, and a small injury can be solved with a first-aid kit, and it is difficult to survive the injuries of the medics on the battlefield.

In fact, their biggest concern is that the communication equipment will be destroyed and they will not be able to contact their superiors, because then they will wonder if their superiors should order them to retreat at this time, and they are still charging meaninglessly because they cannot contact their superiors. This naturally affects morale.

However, the U.S. forces of the 3rd Army were still somewhat different from other U.S. forces.

If it were other American troops, they should have retreated by this time, but they still insisted on fighting. Although rows of bullets bleeded the American soldiers who forced them to cross, and although the shells carried the skyrocketing water jets that overturned the assault boats or rubber boats they were riding in and even blew up the people and boats, they still rushed towards the river in waves.

It wasn't until the five Sherman tanks were destroyed by the ME63 that the U.S. troops retreated like a tidal wave, leaving only a bright red and corpse in the river and the wreckage of several smoking and burning tanks on the other side.

The German soldier was stunned for a moment, and then laughed inexplicably.

Qin Chuan could understand their move...... For the first time, a man who had never fought a war tasted the joy and excitement of victory, a sense of pride and satisfaction that outsiders could not understand.

But Qin Chuan also knew that as long as they fought a few more battles, they would soon become numb to this.

"Is that what they call a 'controllable rocket'?" At some point, Colonel Becker lay beside Qin Chuan: "I mean, the thing that destroyed the American tank!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's called 'ME63'!" ”

Since this thing is still a secret in the German army, its nickname is actually ...... "controllable rocket" given by the Soviets.

"Amazing thing!" Colonel Becker said: "With it, the tanks of the Americans are a target for us!" ”

Qin Chuan didn't speak, if there were enough "ME63", it would indeed be, but Qin Chuan's first battalion carried only fifty "ME63". Nineteen of them were lost in that battle.

Barton, on the other side, was also shocked by this.

Because according to his intelligence, there is almost nothing left in Metz Fortress to deal with the American "Sherman" tanks, which is one of the reasons why Patton dared to force his way with an infantry division...... The tanks of the infantry division lined up on the banks of the river, constantly suppressing the Germans with precision fire to cover the infantry crossing the river, which in itself could pose a sufficient threat to the large and small islands of Solsi, so that his plan to intersperse the island of Shanbir could be successful.

But now, the Germans could easily destroy the Sherman tank on the other side of the river.

"What's going on?!" "They actually have 'controllable rockets'? I heard that at the moment only the 1st Infantry Regiment can use it, does this mean that the 1st Infantry Regiment is in the Metz Fortress? ”

"Maybe they equipped the 'Controlled Rockets' with the military academy in Metz!" The staff officer said: "You know, military schools will learn to use these new equipment. ”

Barton thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I think the 1st Infantry Regiment is in Metz Fortress!" ”

Barton took the cigar in his mouth and stared at the telegram in his hand...... It reads: "According to statistics: the enemy fired 19 'controllable rockets', and we had a total of 9 tanks destroyed!" ”

"19 'controllable rockets' knocked out 9 tanks!" General Patton judged: "With such a high degree of accuracy, it is impossible for a cadet soldier who has not been on the battlefield and has never used a 'controllable rocket'." So, the 1st Infantry Regiment, or at least part of them...... Become our opponent in Metz Fortress! ”
