Chapter 11: Poor Larry
In the past two days, Li Mo has participated in the construction work like ordinary soldiers, and his hands have been grinding out of blood cocoons, taking advantage of the current short peace, he must seize the time to rest in order to meet the upcoming "stormy" attack.
In the early morning of the next day, there was the sound of an airplane buzzing in the sky, and Li Mo used the telescope in his hand to see that this time it was not a reconnaissance plane, but a fighter plane, and these fighters flew relatively slowly, because they had two swarthy aerial bombs hanging under their bellies:
"Phew, pull the air raid siren...... Woowoo woo ......"
The sentries not far from Li Mo's side quickly rushed to the hand-cranked air defense siren and shook the handle of the air defense siren desperately, and the terrible air defense siren suddenly sounded, and the German troops on the nameless hill quickly drilled into the anti-artillery hole, and the German troops stationed at the Blue Bridgehead also discovered the government plane.
Larry also ordered his subordinates to enter the dug anti-artillery hole and urgently call air support to the vulture headquarters, Larry's response was also fast, and there was no major mistake in command, but the anti-artillery hole dug by Larry was less than one meter from the ground, and it was sand soil, and Larry piled up two-meter-thick sandbags on it in order to make up for the lack of thickness of the anti-artillery hole. The groundwater seeping out of the anti-artillery hole was thirty centimeters deep, and the situation in the trenches was almost like this, and in such a harsh environment, I don't know what Larry thought, he would resolutely put his position on the Blu bridgehead.
Of course, the sandbag positions built by Larry are also thick enough, and the trenches and anti-artillery holes are only used to avoid shelling or bombardment, but it is still unknown whether such positions can withstand enemy shelling or bombardment.
"Bang bang...... Click......"
An 88 anti-aircraft gun in Larry's position began to fire fiercely at the air, and several MG34 machine guns were not to be outdone and roared into the air, MG34 machine guns were a waste of bullets in the air, the altitude of the government planes was at least about 5,000 meters, and the range of the MG34 machine gun was only about 1500 meters.
The 88 anti-aircraft guns fired at a height of 10,000 meters, and the altitude of the government planes was only 5,000, which was not a problem at all for the 88 air defense guns, but the government troops dispatched more than a dozen fighters this time, all of which carried aerial bombs, each of which was 500 kilograms, and one anti-aircraft gun was obviously not enough to deal with so many enemy planes.
"Bang bang...... Woowoo...... Boom ......"
The 88 guns had a rate of fire of 15-20 rounds per minute, high accuracy, and a long range, and soon a rapidly approaching enemy plane was hit, rolling and planting to the ground in thick smoke, and the 88 guns continued to roar and spray shells, and the enemy planes were also rapidly approaching.
Because the enemy planes were carrying two 500-kilogram aerial bombs, the flight speed was relatively slow, which gave the 88 anti-aircraft guns a chance to play, and then the second enemy plane was hit by the 88 guns and exploded in the air. At this time, the enemy planes also flew over Larry's position, and the remaining enemy planes began to roar towards Larry's position at a 50-degree dive angle for the accuracy of bomb dropping.
Then dozens of swarthy aerial bombs fell from the sky, first dozens of small black dots, and then slowly grew larger, until they fell into Larry's position, more than 20 500-kilogram aerial bombs, at least 60% directly smashed into the two sandbag defense positions arranged by Larry, and the earth-shattering explosion sounded in an instant, and countless mushroom clouds rolled into the sky. The violent explosion destroyed everything on the ground, then carried countless pieces of dirt and minced flesh into the sky, and countless weapon parts rolled in the air, reflecting in the sunlight.
Li Mo has been observing with a telescope on the nameless hill, and the explosion just now caused a continuous shock on the ground, you must know that the nameless hill is more than 1,500 meters away from the Blue Bridge, and Li Mo, who was lying on the edge of the trench, was directly shocked to the ground by the violent vibration, which shows how violent the explosion was just now.
After the explosion, the sky over the position was full of billowing black smoke, and when the breeze blew away the gunsmoke, Li Mo hurriedly used a telescope to look at Larry's sandbag circular defense position, only to see that the position was full of huge pits, and the sandbags on the ground were also nowhere to be found, and even the 88 anti-aircraft gun flew away from his original position, and to more than ten meters away, the 88 anti-aircraft gun had become various parts at this time, The barrel also turned into a twist.
"Hey......"
Li Mo looked at the lifeless bridgehead position and slammed his fist against the edge of the trench.
"Larry of the dog, he didn't listen to Lao Tzu's advice, he had to deploy his troops at the bridgehead, and now it's okay, more than 200 heroic soldiers have become cannon fodder in an instant, and such a powerful aerial bomb, even if there is only one, will make the sandbag position become hell, let alone a dozen.
Tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of Li Mo's eyes, no matter how good a soldier was, he was buried by Larry's stubbornness, the commander's mistake could only make ordinary soldiers pay the price of their lives, and the rigor and obedience of the German army were both good and bad. The good thing is that commanding such a unit is a lifelong honor, having such a soldier as a subordinate, but also a commander's dream, but their obedience and rigor, but also let them lack the spirit of questioning the commander's decision, once the commander makes a mistake, they pay a very heavy price, even if they are brave, sacrifice, honor, loyalty, will not change because of the commander's wrong choice to lead to the defeat of the war.
"Platoon commander, platoon commander...... Woowoo...... Our bridgehead positions are finished. ”
Funk didn't know when he appeared next to Li Mo, holding his MG34 machine gun and sitting in the trench and crying.
"Don't cry, come to a squad and follow me to the bridgehead position to see if there are any brothers alive, we must move quickly, otherwise the enemy's attack will start soon, a squad follow me."
After Li Mo finished shouting to Vincent, the squad leader beside him, he jumped out of the trench with a P35 submachine gun and ran quickly towards the bridgehead position, with a sapper shovel stuck in Li Mo's belt. Vincent also hurriedly grabbed a sapper shovel and jumped out of the trench, and the other soldiers quickly followed.
Li Mo led the people like a whirlwind to the position bombed by the government army, the sand on the position completely turned into a jet black color, the area of about 500 meters was full of huge craters, and the sand on the ground also turned into floating soil, as soon as people stepped on it, they trapped half of their legs, which shows how powerful the government army's 500-kilogram aerial bombs were just now.
"Hey!! And brothers? ”
"Hey!! And brothers? ”
Li Mo shouted loudly, but no one answered him, not a single corpse was found on the uneven sand, and there were a lot of twisted weapon parts, but what about people? That's more than 200 brothers!! Is there nothing left like this?
