"Captain, what should we do?" a soldier called to Afuli.

Afuli didn't know what to do, because this was a situation that he had never encountered.

After taking office, Montgomery organized troops to do several exercises... He was the kind of person who liked to take all problems into account before the war, so he simulated various possible attacks by the German army and found corresponding solutions during the exercises.

Afterwards, Montgomery told his subordinates: "If you encounter a problem that you don't know how to solve, check the exercise manual, and it will tell you how to do it!"

However, Montgomery's words soon went bankrupt because the situation now is that they cannot be solved and the answer cannot be found in the exercise manual... Although Captain Afulry did not check it out, he knew very well that there would be no solution in the exercise manual.

After thinking about it, Afuli shouted, "Mortar!"

"Mortar..." Several British soldiers quickly prepared the mortar.

"Idiot!" Afury couldn't help but curse: "I'm talking about a 3-inch mortar!"

Several British soldiers were stunned and then replied: "Yes, Captain!"

Captain Afuli was helpless... Although his order just now was unclear, the idiot also knew that the maximum range of the 2-inch mortar was only 400 meters, and it could not pose a threat to German snipers at all.

However, this seems not surprising. The British 44th Infantry Division was a unit that was established later. Many of them were inexperienced recruits. All the combat skills they possessed were two months of training in the recruit battalion... In fact, even many of the veterans in the British 44th Infantry Division had just experienced the Dunkirk retreat.

From this perspective, the British army really needs training urgently.

The 3-inch mortar shell quickly smashed towards the five hundred meters in front of the position with a roar. With the "boom" explosion, radiant smoke rose up in front of the position, and some landmines near the smoke were detonated.

"Did we blow them up?" asked a soldier.

No one can answer this question because no one knows the result.

"Continue to blow up!" Captain Afuli ordered, and more than a dozen shells were shot.

But everyone knows that this is not a solution.

If the German sniper was killed, then the British mortars continued to bombard the shells. Although the British army had much more ammunition than the German army, they could not afford such target-free carpet bombing.

What's more...their bombings are actually just to cover up their inner insecurity, and this insecurity will never be filled, because no one can guarantee whether another bullet will suddenly shoot out of the desert and pierce their heads.

After thinking about it, Afuli raised his head at the British sniper and signaled it to test the enemy.

The British sniper understood and took off his helmet and pushed it onto the rifle, then slowly stretched out from the trench.

Without gunshots, the British sniper's heart was half relieved.

Then the British sniper changed his position and repeated the action just now, but there was still no gunshot.

The other British soldiers were also doing the same thing as British snipers... There was still no movement on the opposite side!

What the British army didn't know was that German snipers had a rule: if you are not sure or may be discovered by the enemy, then don't shoot!

The reason for this principle is very simple. They are different from ordinary snipers... Ordinary snipers can shoot one shot and change another place, so let alone eight points of confidence, as long as you have one point of confidence, it is worth pulling the trigger, because the price is just a bullet, but it may be exchanged for the life of an enemy.

But the German snipers lurking in front of the position cannot move, and they have to lurk all day... They have the chance to shoot and kill the enemy, so there is no need to take risks for those targets with very difficult and low chances of hitting.

"I think we've got them out, Captain!" The British sniper said as he poked his head out and held up his telescope to observe. He tried to find some evidence near the mortar bombing site, such as blood or corpses.

But at this moment, a bullet penetrated the telescope with a "horn" sound and then shot into the head of the British sniper from his eyes... The British sniper fell to the ground without having a moment of whistle, with a blood hole in his left eye, and red and white things emerged like a fountain.

"Damn!" Captain Afulry couldn't help but shout: "Mortars, keep shooting until they are bombarded into the sky!"

Afuli thought the mortar was the nemesis of the sniper, because the 3-inch mortar can have a maximum range of more than 2,000 meters, which allows it to bomb suspicious areas outside the range.

Even if the gunner doesn't know where the enemy is hiding, the shell has a wide range of lethality, and maybe it will be possible to touch dead mice... Anyway, the German snipers are powerless to use mortars outside the range.

But Afuli soon found out that he was wrong, because the whistling of shells came from the German direction, and then a shell exploded near the urgency position.

Captain Afuli, who came from World War I, knew that this was a test shot by the enemy artillery, so he quickly grabbed the phone and ordered loudly: "Get out of the position, hurry!"

But everything was too late. After a roar, dozens of shells instantly blew the British artillery force position into a sea of ​​fire. One of the shells even caused the death of the artillery force shells. So with a loud "boom", the entire artillery force position was shrouded in the rolling smoke and dust.

"Fuck it!" Captain Afuli couldn't help but curse.

Captain Afulry's attention was completely attracted by the tragic situation of the forced artillery position. He did not realize that his head had stretched out of the trench and was exposed. So with a "trumpet", a bullet hit his helmet...

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

...

The moment the captain fell, the British soldiers were frightened.

"What should we do?" someone shouted: "Will the Germans rush up?"

"No!" A lieutenant took over the command: "They won't charge to the defense line, otherwise it's not just that. So... you just need to lower your body to survive, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" These British soldiers never dared to stick their heads out again, and they didn't even test them.

"What should we do next, Lieutenant?" the soldier asked.

The lieutenant thought about it and replied: "Report to the superior and ask for instructions!"

Another meaning of requesting instructions is to throw this problem to the superior.

But the superiors also didn't know how to solve the problem, so they reported it one by one and all the way to the Montgomery command center.
