Chapter 547 Road Encounter (Chapter Two in One)(1/2)
When a group of five people, Lao Yang, Shi Polu, Ashtray, and Fatty, formed a temporary tank team, they were driving back and forth in an open space outside the town, becoming familiar with the relevant operations of the M4 tank.
Hu Biao and Lieutenant Don Collier took action almost at the same time.
They took their respective men and swarmed outside the barn on the side of the town.
After arriving here, Hu Biao motioned for the others to stop first. He walked in and pulled out a bespectacled German second lieutenant from among a large group of prisoners.
Directly in front of a group of German prisoners, he fired twenty shots of the shell gun in his hand and pressed it against the opponent's temple.
He asked in a voice that was colder than the cold expression on his face:
"Tell me, you just fired a cannon. How many artillery pieces does the artillery unit that should be in the southwest have? What is the specific caliber and model? What is the strength of the escort force?"
Under Hu Biao's question, between the words "****~", the German second lieutenant came out with a string of German words.
I don’t know if he really doesn’t understand English, or if he is just pretending to be dumbfounded by Hu Biao.
The problem is that Hu Biao's action of drawing a gun was not just to scare him.
Indeed! German sticks are different from Japs. Hu Biao, like most normal Chinese people, may not like them that much, but he is far from hating them like Japs.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the two armies are not facing each other in a battle, they will never kill prisoners.
But if these villains seek death themselves, they can't blame him.
In their previous confessions, the prisoners had given statements that there were no friendly forces in the nearby area, which obviously misled him.
And such a confession caused considerable losses to the operational troops.
Damn it! If Hu Biao had reacted a little slower just now and warned him a little later, the Zhongzhou team might have lost a lot of people.
In this way, Hu Biao, who thought that this system task was actually the beginning, was so angry that he couldn't care so much.
Therefore, Hu Biao faced the uncooperation of this German second lieutenant.
After a cold light flashed in his eyes, he immediately pulled the trigger on his fingertips.
After a crisp gunshot of "Bang~", a bullet hole appeared on the temple, and the German second lieutenant fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Suddenly, all the German prisoners who had been staying in the barn became agitated one after another.
But their restlessness was just the beginning. Zhuye, a low-voltage electrician of a certain communications operator, was recognized as an honest and good person by the Zhongzhou team.
He immediately raised the Thompson submachine gun in his hand, pointed it at the roof of the barn, and fired a stream of bullets.
When the roof was penetrated, a lot of debris was also knocked down, which fell on the heads of these German prisoners like snow, and at the same time, these people became honest again.
The reason is simple, these German prisoners are very sure of one thing.
If they really want to continue to be agitated, the oriental man in front of them, who looks simple and honest on the surface and doesn't seem to have much hair on his forehead, will definitely shoot at them.
Killing a prisoner named Hu Biao with one shot seemed like a small and inadvertent thing.
He just took out a handkerchief from his pocket, which was given by the Gaul girl who played the piano, and wiped the blood splattered on his face.
Then he signaled Lang Qing to take action and dragged out another German staff sergeant from among the prisoners in the barn.
Then, when Lang Qing pulled out his M1911 pistol and imitated Hu Biao, pointing it at the sergeant's forehead, Hu Biao asked the same question as before.
This time, the poor German staff sergeant was obviously frightened, but he still kept shouting in German.
Judging from his frantic begging for mercy, he probably really doesn't understand English.
However, whether he really didn't understand English or not was not important to Hu Biao now; he looked at Lang Qing with a hands-on look.
Faced with such an order, Lang Qing was actually a little hesitant in his heart.
But after hesitating for a second at most, his fingertips decisively pulled the trigger, turning the bodies on the ground into two.
The only difference was that when he fired, Lang Qing learned some experience from Hu Biao and moved his body slightly away, so that he did not let so much blood splash on himself.
During this process, Lieutenant Don Collier, who was standing by and watching, had no intention of stopping Hu Biao.
Instead, after turning around, he whispered to the tank soldiers behind him and solemnly confessed:
"Listen to me one by one. Everyone should keep the things here in my stomach. You must not speak out, let alone bring trouble to Hu, otherwise you will be the enemy of me, Don Collier."
Facing Lieutenant Don Collier's explanation, all the tank soldiers nodded.
At the same time, the eyes that looked at Hu Biao not only showed no dissatisfaction, but also showed recognition; there was no doubt that Hu Biao's concealment was to their liking.
Hu Biao, who had already killed two people in a row, once again signaled Lang Qing to continue.
Like picking corn from a field, he dragged a German sergeant out of the barn.
During the dragging process, the sergeant, who seemed to have foreseen his tragic end, began to struggle desperately; but under Lang Qing's dragging, such struggling had no effect at all.
Finally, the slightly hot barrel of the M1911 pistol was pressed against the back of his head.
The German sergeant completely collapsed. He shouted in English that was a little awkward but understandable: "I said, put your damn pistol away quickly..."
At 10:12 in the morning, the action team set off again.
However, when a group of people set off, they were also ready for battle and at the same time increased the speed of the convoy as much as possible.
In terms of specific speed, it can be almost 20 kilometers per hour.
Because according to the confession of the German sergeant, after they continued along this road for almost 7 kilometers, they could see a small hill on the roadside.
On the top of the hill, the German army deployed two 150 mm caliber s.FH.18 howitzers.
This thing has a range of 13.25 kilometers, and it is nothing new to be able to hit the town.
As for the reason why there was a complete ceasefire after just one shot was fired:
The warehouse manager shot and killed an artillery observer who was hiding outside the town, leaving the German gunmen on the far artillery position with no idea whether they had hit the target or what the effect of the artillery bombardment was.
Therefore, the only option is to cease fire.
These two artillery pieces were guarded by an infantry platoon that was not full of personnel. Apart from some Panzerfaust rocket launchers, there were no other anti-tank means on hand.
Regarding the authenticity of this news, Hu Biao and others considered it to be credible after going through some means.
Because when the sergeant confessed, he was deliberately taken aside by Hu Biao, and was not heard by other German prisoners, and there was no possibility of his confession.
In the following time, they interrogated several prisoners separately and came to a similar statement.
Therefore, Hu Biao and the others were relatively confident in their operational plan to remove this German gun artillery position while the team continued to advance.
After all, such a small amount of guarding power is really nothing to them.
Speeding up the advance was just to prevent the German artillery from locking on them and destroy part of the action team halfway.
As for using the method commonly used by soldiers in World War II movies: using the radio to call for air support.
Unfortunately, although the Allied forces have a large number of aircraft in the Normandy area, there are more battlefields that need support, and they cannot be taken care of here at all.
******
With a "boom~" explosion, an M4A1 tank at the head of the convoy suddenly stopped.
It doesn't work if it doesn't stop, right? This unlucky tank obviously ran over an anti-tank mine planted by a German gun while it was speeding.
Fortunately, this one should be an old German type 35 anti-tank disc mine, which is relatively limited in power.
The power of the explosion only broke the tracks on one side of the tank, and the body and crew members inside the tank did not suffer much damage in the explosion.
Unfortunately, although this place is still about 2.5 kilometers away from the artillery position in the intelligence.
But encountering an anti-tank mine at this position represents bad news in itself.
Apart from anything else, tanks can still pass through the roadside, but trucks and jeeps cannot pass through the large field of wheat that is about to mature.
It can only be a little bit blocked on the road, which is not a good thing when you think about it.
If we continue to wait here, we will become the target of those 150mm artillery.
But when Hu Biao was still thinking about whether to knock the lying M4A1 tank away first, wait until the German gun artillery position was captured, and then come back to repair it again.
A roaring cannonball landed not far from them.
When the shells flew over, Hu Biao and the others, who heard the whistling sound, just had time to lay down on their heads.
Then, they could feel that the Willys Jeep they were in was shaking violently like a sampan in a storm, and was almost about to overturn.
At the same time, the front windshield was shattered into pieces by the shock wave of the explosion in an instant.
Glass shards covered Hu Biao and Zhui Feng in the front seats.
The original sin of operating the M2 heavy machine gun in the back seat was unlucky. At that time, he was a little slower in lying down, and he was directly thrown off the car. After he fell to the ground, his face was covered with
It was filled with large and small glass shards.
There is even a piece of glass inserted into the left eye.
Good guy! Under such a tragic injury, Original Sin's mouth immediately let out a wail of extreme pain.
It's a pity that at this moment, Hu Biao and others no longer care about the poor original sin.
Because after raising his head, he looked towards the right side of the convoy where the shells were hitting, and with his enhanced eyesight, he could see:
At the other end of the wheat field, about five or six hundred meters away, a German tank with an Iron Cross badge was rushing out of the woods, puffing out black smoke.
At the same time, behind this big guy, more than fifty German soldiers rushed out with the tank.
To be continued...
