Chapter 43 Airplane

The distance was getting farther and farther away, and the reporters ran very fast, like a frightened rabbit, trying to run out of our sight. But the officer, I think he could run faster. After all, he was a soldier, and he was wearing military boots. If he really wanted to run, his speed was not comparable to that of the reporters wearing leather shoes. But he slowed down very smartly and hid himself in the crowd.

I could indeed see the head of the officer in the scope. The military cap was too conspicuous in the crowd, but the heads of the reporters were shaking everywhere. I couldn't beat the officer without accidentally hurting the reporter. Looking at my feet, I was even more confused and couldn't tell who was...

I glanced at Li Pinghe who was lying beside me and was also aiming. He was also frowned and at a loss. Who would have thought that the US military officer in the middle would have such strong anti-sniper ability? I would have killed him first if I had known it!

Did you shoot desperately? If you lose the game, it's a small matter. If you accidentally hurt the reporter and are used by the US military as an excuse to attack us at the negotiating table, you would make a big mistake. But will you just let them escape from my sight?

No! Absolutely not!

I focused my attention on the group of people running away again, closed my eyes for a few seconds and opened it suddenly. Just as they were about to run out of my range, I finally found a chance to pull the trigger...

A gunshot sounded, and a bullet broke out. It swung at high speed in the air with a roar... But what surprised all the soldiers watching next to me, including Li Pinghe, was that the target of my bullet was not the officer, but one of the reporters carried a tripod on his shoulder with a camera!

With a "knock" sound, the camera was carried forward by the inertia of the bullet and then fell heavily. Several reporters could not react and tripped to the ground by the camera's tripod, but the officer jumped quickly and avoided. So at this time, the officer was completely exposed to our guns...

Soldier! Of course, the quick reaction is not comparable to that of a reporter. Of course, besides me, I suddenly realized that I was also a reporter.

But sometimes fast reactions may not necessarily be a good thing. Now this example is a clear proof!

At this time, the officer also found out that he had been fooled and immediately lay onto the ground. But it was too late. Before I could pull the trigger, a gunshot came from beside me. Li Pinghe shot bullets first. The officer thrust his chest forward, stretched his limbs in pain, and then collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball.

The reporters dared not stay any longer. They climbed up from the ground in panic, and escaped from our sight with trembling feet. Only three bodies of US military officers and a few beaches of bright red blood were left on the position.

"Okay! Good fight!"

“Beautiful fight!”

...

Only then did the soldiers cheer each other.

"You won!" I put away my rifle and patted Li Pinghe on the shoulder.

It is already amazing to be able to hit a target of about 700 meters without a scope, although it is not the head that hits, but it is already amazing. This guy's shooting skills are indeed not covered!

"No, you won!" Li Pinghe's face looked a little pale: "Although I hit two and you hit one, but..."

"If you win, you win. Why are you still humble?" I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What? Are you afraid that I won't admit it?"

Li Pinghe didn't answer, but just shook his head with a wry smile

After a long time, he looked at me with an incredible look, and seemed to be unable to believe that what had just happened was true: "How did you do it? In such a short time, if I had no one shot, I would have no way to do anything, and I could only watch the officer escape!"

"You really have you Captain Cui!" Li Guoqiang then took back his telescope and stared at me blankly and said, "To be fair, according to the rules, Political Commissar Li won this game, but of course the shooting method was Captain Cui! I was surprised when I saw the first shot. Commander, you actually calculated that the American would lie down, and you also confirmed that the American would lie down at that position. This is nothing. Before you shoot the second shot, I thought that you would have no choice! Who would have thought that the leader shot the camera with one shot... It's so amazing!"

"This is the gap!" Li Pinghe smiled bitterly: "Captain Cui, now I know why my shooting skills are not worse than you, but there is such a big difference on the battlefield. I am shooting with my hands, but you are shooting with your head!"

"Dade... I praised me to the sky!" I smiled without complaint: "Aren't you just hitting a few people? There are so many names. Go back to the tunnel. The enemy may not be sure to take revenge again if you shoot firecrackers!"

"Yes!" Li Guoqiang responded and was busy recalling the soldiers back to the tunnel. Of course, with the experience of being sneak attacked by the enemy last time, he did not forget to arrange a few people on the position to observe the enemy's movements before leaving. But then again, after the last defeat, the enemy did not seem to have the courage to launch a similar "sneak attack".

So for the next whole night, the enemy did not charge us.

Although the British army's equipment is worse than the US army, the tanks, artillery and other equipment they have are still much stronger than the Volunteer Army. If an attack is launched at night, it will be difficult to reflect their advantages in equipment, not to mention that the British army mainly relies on their marksmanship, so it is common sense not to launch an attack at night.

But what is hateful is that these British soldiers learned from the Americans or how they were all night long, and they kept firing artillery on our positions, which made the soldiers unable to sleep.

Originally, I wanted our artillery to "quarrel" them like this, but as soon as this idea arose, we gave up quickly... Our artillery shells were all exchanged for human lives. The United Nations Army had too many artillery shells to be completed. Didn't Van Vritte give their soldiers the order "bullets, no upper limit of artillery shells"? They can use artillery shells as firecrackers, but our volunteers can't afford to waste it!

Lying on the small bed of the regiment headquarters, I could not sleep at first by the sound of cannons on the position, but later when I was really sleepy, I fell asleep in a daze with the sound of cannons. Maybe I was used to the sound of cannons, but when those Commonwealth guys didn't shoot cannons in the early morning, I woke me up instead.

Sleeping in the sound of cannons is not a pleasant thing. When I wake up, I find that I am already sweating and have a split headache. After sleeping, it is even more tiring and uncomfortable than not sleeping.

Get up from the bed, and with the light of the kerosene lamp, I poured some water out of the kettle, wet the towel and wiped it a few times on my face. Then I felt a little more comfortable.

I felt a little stuffy in my chest, so I turned a corner along the tunnel and came to the entrance of the tunnel. In the light or dark light, I could see Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei sitting at the entrance of the tunnel fiddling. At this time, I saw me coming out and immediately stood up and straightened my back.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" I couldn't help but feel a little surprised when I saw this. I remember that they were both on guard before going to bed, and they were still the same ones.

"Captain, we can't sleep!" Zhang Mingxue said helplessly: "Those dogs who were just fighting like that just now, who can still sleep! We didn't ask anyone to change the duty!"

"How can this work! I don't rest all night, how can I fight tomorrow..."

"Captain, don't rush us to rest!" Xu Yongwei became anxious at this time: "Captain, let's not hide it from you, we both were talking all night! We were all talking about the Americans you are fighting today. How did you master your marksmanship? Can you teach us?"

"What?" I was stunned when I heard Xu Yongwei's words. Not to mention that they didn't know, even I couldn't understand how I mastered my marksmanship!

"I said you two comrades!" At this time, I had to be confused: "Aren't the marksmanship of our army all produced by fighting? Isn't it the same thing that I practiced with bricks and kettles on the gun bar? Just like you two, chatting and talking! That marksmanship can get better? The important thing is to practice hands-on, not sitting here and talking, do you understand?"

"yes!"

"Go back and rest! It's almost dawn..."

"Yes!" Zhang and Xu responded and soon walked out of the tunnel.

Seeing them lifting the black cloth and walking out, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly. It seemed that the match between Li Pinghe during the day gave me a reputation in the army. If the soldiers had not seen my marksmanship in the battle because of chaos, then now, they really knew that the rifle in their commander's hand was not a vegetarian.

This is good, but no matter how I say it, it can increase my prestige in the group! But later, someone asked me how I practiced this marksmanship, but I don’t know what to say.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next morning, just dawn, the fierce Commonwealth cannons sounded again. This time it was no longer intermittent, but bombed continuously for more than half an hour, and it was obvious that it was charging forward on our position again. So when the cannons stopped, I led the soldiers to run towards the position.

As expected, the enemy launched another attack, but what surprised me was that the attack was the puppet army this time, and the puppet capital division that had fought with us several times! Just a few days ago, we were fighting with them on the machine gun position on the Eastern Front! I didn't expect to meet again so soon.

That's right, it was the pseudo-capital division. I raised my telescope and looked at them. They were already rushing forward while bombing our position in artillery fire. At this time, it was only about 500 meters away from our position. At this distance, I could clearly see the skull logo on their right shoulder.

It seems that dangerous wars are left to the puppet army to fight, and this fine tradition has also been transferred from the US military to the First Commonwealth Division.

"Prepare for battle!" I shouted, and the soldiers fell on the high ground and raised their guns. There was no way. The high ground passed by the enemy's artillery fire and the volunteers' artillery fire took turns to bombard the fire. At this time, there were basically no trenches. But I was not worried that I could not defend the position, because we had artillery as the backing!

I was thinking in my heart that we would withdraw back to the tunnel after a few shots on this high ground, and then repeat the tricks of the Royal Scottish regiment yesterday, and see what else can you do! But I soon knew that I was wrong, because at this time I heard the roar of enemy planes in the air, and then in a short while more than a dozen aircraft "Bronco" fighters emerged from the clouds...

Damn! The enemy is prepared! Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse, how could I forget the enemy's plane! But it seemed that it was not me who forgot, but the enemy deliberately used the sound of cannons to cover up the roar of the plane, allowing the plane to enter the battlefield in advance and hide in the clouds. So by the time we discovered, the enemy's plane was already above our heads.

At this time, it was impossible to enter the tunnel, because if the soldiers were asked to withdraw back to the tunnel now, then the enemy's plane would just throw a few incendiary bombs at the entrance of our tunnel... Even if we could enter the tunnel at that time, I was afraid that half of them would be alive.

Not entering the tunnel? Not entering the tunnel means that we have to support the bombing and strafing of more than a dozen US aircraft on this uncovered high ground. I have seen the skills of US pilots. They can throw a bomb into the tunnel, not to mention that they are completely exposed to their firepower like we are now. What's more, there is an attack launched by the powerful pseudo-Capital Division on the front...

what to do?

Suddenly I realized that we were now forced into a desperate situation. This is the combat plan that the guys from the Commonwealth spent one night thinking! Artillery, infantry and air force jointly fought, which was indeed a good plan. It’s ridiculous that I thought they would have no choice but to do anything to me last night, but now I was in this kind of passive beating in this moment.

"Woo..." At this moment, the planes in the sky had already made waves of roars, flying towards us like demons. Then there was a dense sound of machine guns and explosions. Rows of machine gun bullets raised a piece of dust and blood on the position, and bombs roared the soldiers into the air. There was a gust of bloody storm on the position, with machine guns, explosions, screams and the whistling of planes sounding into a circle, like a sudden hurricane sweeping across our entire battlefield.

what to do?

To be honest, I had no idea at this time, because no matter how brave the soldiers of the 538th Regiment were, no matter how brave they could fight, they would not be able to beat the planes in the sky! On the ground, we can still use human lives to pile up tanks and carry explosives to blow them up, but the planes in the sky...

With a "punch", a soldier fell heavily in front of me and had no idea of ​​life and death. I hurriedly got up to check his injuries, but was shocked to find that his lower body had no idea where he was going!

With a "Teng...", a burning bomb exploded on our position, and the flames immediately reflected the entire incline. At the moment when the flames ignited, more than a dozen soldiers were affected by the gasoline bombs and became firemen. The smell of gasoline and burnt smell soon spread throughout the battlefield.

what to do?

At this time, the plane had completed a round of bombing and circled around the periphery of the highland. It can be imagined that when they come back, a new round of massacre will soon be another round of massacre. This massacre will continue until they finish the bullets, drop the bombs, or they run out of oil...

That's right! Oil!

I quickly made a judgment that Ma Liangshan was located almost in the middle of the east and west coasts. These aircraft had to fly here from the aircraft carrier and hide in the clouds for a while. At this moment, their oil production must have been consumed almost the same. In addition, they had to fly back... So, what I need is time, time...

But how can we prevent these planes from firing fire and throwing bombs? This is a very crazy idea, and it seems impossible to do it! But when I saw those pseudo-capital divisions rushing towards our position, I couldn't help but have an idea!

This time, I didn't expect that the one who could save us was our own enemy.

Thinking of it, I didn't dare to neglect it. I took advantage of the gap that the enemy's plane had not yet flew back and gave a loud order: "Blow the charge, charge! Comrades get on the bayonet, we are fighting with those dog gods!"

"Fight!"

"kill!"

...

The charge and the shouts of killing sounded quickly!

The soldiers installed bayonets and jumped up from the high ground, rushing towards the pseudo-Capital Division along the slope of the high ground. I also pulled out the m1911 on my waist and rushed towards the enemy in front of me. While rushing, I was secretly thinking in my heart, Capital Division, Capital Division! Don't run away. If you run, the American plane will follow our butts and shoot, then our 538th Regiment will be completely finished.

If our army is facing the British army now, I think they will definitely retreat. They will not only retreat, but also organize firepower and air forces while retreating to eliminate us. But we are not facing the British army, but the pseudo-capital division trained by the Japanese army.

The tactics are rigid, rigid, and fierce fighting have always been the characteristics of Japanese combat, and the pseudo-capital division seems to have inherited this. So not only did they show any signs of retreat, but they put bayonets under the command of their commander and then rushed towards us with a roar...

God really helped me! Seeing this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed and wished I could rush up and hug the commander of the pseudo-head division and kiss him. Of course, the so-called love and hate must be clear, and after kissing, he must be solved.

The two armies were not far away, and they charged each other again, so we were already fighting together before the planes arrived.

Looking at the group of aircraft whizzing past overhead but without a single bullet, my heart finally fell down.
Chapter completed!
