Chapter 362: Rain
The sky was gray, and from time to time there would be rolling thunder from afar, and the wind swept the dark clouds and rolled violently in the sky. Even so, there were no animals running on the ground, just because they had long been scared away by the loud gunfire in the vicinity. And it is the human beings who make these voices, who are fighting for life and death for their own interests, and the drastic changes in the heavens seem to have nothing to do with them, and they are only bent on destroying the enemy in front of them.
From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many Western European kingdom armies have come here to fight, and even many of them still have absolute superiority in numbers and weapons, but no dynasty has really conquered here. The strong fighting spirit of the Eastern Europeans is certainly one of the reasons, but the weather factor may be the final, and the main reason, after the Western Europeans who are accustomed to warmth reach Eastern Europe, the first thing that makes them a little unbearable is the temperature here, but the low temperature will only slightly affect the combat effectiveness, but the various environmental changes caused by the temperature are the most headaches for the Western Europeans, which I don't know how many times the arrogant knights have fallen into the muddy swamp, and even fallen under the ice. Truth be told, although the Germans were relatively well prepared to attack the Soviets and were invincible in the early stages of the war, which kept morale soaring, the rumors that the Soviets would use the weather and location to fight back like their ancestors never ceased, and while everyone wanted to pay attention to this aspect, not many people really noticed these details......
"Is it going to rain?" Derek looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky, and his interest was even higher, and he said into the microphone: "After the rain, it is more favorable to cover our actions, but all the units have paid attention to me, if any of them accidentally injure that bastard, I will not be finished with him!" ”
The morale of the team suddenly went up another notch, and I have to say that Derek is the same as Trode. He was so keen on igniting the atmosphere in the team that he was sick, but Derek's quick action was more commensurate with this trait than the actions of Trode's mother-in-law, but even so......
Although ......the atmosphere in the team was about to burst because of Trode's actions and Derek's encouragement, there was still one person who didn't say a word, opened the roof cover, and looked at the clouds that were rolling more and more violently with a solemn expression......
Not for a while. The downpour was pouring down, and in this still very cold spring, the next rain of this kind was not very rare, but it was quite sudden and tricky for the German troops who were not familiar with the area. Not to mention Derek, the tank soldiers who can hide inside the tank, and those soldiers who are still fighting on the front line, none of them have not been poured cold by this sudden heavy rain, of course, God is fair. Even the heavily dressed Soviet soldiers did not escape the heavy rain, and when the cotton coats were soaked, they not only became extremely heavy. The biting cold can't escape at all, and even if they can escape from this battlefield, they will definitely have a serious illness in the future.
But even so, both sides of the battle had no intention of stopping because of this. German machine gunners with gritted teeth. The MG-34 machine gun in his hand was holding hard, allowing the rain to hit his steel helmet with a "click" sound, and then slashed across his face. It flowed through the gap between his neck and his clothes, but he didn't notice the cold, and the loader next to him kept taking out the bullets from the ammunition box and linking them to the MG-34, which had just finished firing, and he was even laughing as he completed these actions......
This is mainly because this action actually cannot be continued in normal times, because the MG-34 will produce intense heat when firing continuously, and continuous firing will overheat the barrel, while the efficiency of the air cooling device cannot keep up, which will deform the barrel slightly, resulting in a serious decrease in accuracy. But now it was completely different, with such a heavy rain, the MG-34 with the barrel half exposed was like an additional water cooling device, and because of the high wind speed, the effect of the air cooling device became better than usual. As a result, under the combined effect of water cooling and air cooling, the cooling efficiency of the barrel has become very high, and it can even meet the needs of continuous continuous firing, which is of course a happy thing for machine gunners.
But it would be too careless to be happy so early......
"Bell!"
A gunshot pierced through the murky air, but it didn't cause any waves in the chaotic battlefield, and the only one affected by it was the loader who was still smiling just now. He didn't hear the gunshot, but he heard a "click", and the machine gunner, his comrade-in-arms, who had been working very hard just now, had a blood plant coming out of his head and fell straight backwards......
"Nope! How ......" The loader trembled and crawled to the Heavy's side, and gently stroked the Heavy's cheek with the almost uncontrollable palm, but the latter didn't react at all, looking up, his eyes were already blank, this scene came too suddenly, he couldn't help but hug his head, and cry loudly: "Wow, ah, ah! ”
Then he lay on his comrade again, muttering something in his mouth, while gently closing his comrade's eyes, moving him to the side of the trench wall, and maintaining a sitting posture. Then he didn't look back, immediately grabbed the machine gun that was still warm, and continued to shoot at the Soviet troops who were pouring up like a tide in front of him, but ......
"Da!"
The same voice, almost the same reaction, in the place where the machine gunner was lying just now, now it was the loader lying there, the angry and empty eyes looking sadly at the sky that was still dripping sad tears, but no one could see it, and the idle MG-34 was waiting for his next owner to claim it......
Fifty meters away, next to a wrecked tank, a man in a gray-green raincoat is holding a Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 sniper rifle. The rain kept sliding down the gun, and even some of the scopes had been painted, but he was still staring at the position, and his hands never moved. He had just killed two machine gunners, and now he was waiting for the third machine gunner to come to his door...... (To be continued.) )
