crisis management game.

Chapter 104 Sacrifice, Glory, Power

In an instant.

Tiger and Sherman fired almost simultaneously.

Gu Ji first felt a humming sound coming from inside the gun barrel, and the shells shot out. The next second, a ball of sparks exploded on the right side of the turret, and Sherman's shells flew out against the turret armor.

The shell fired by Eugene blew up in Sherman's side corner.

The initial velocity of the Tiger-type armor-piercing projectile is at least 600m/s, which is enough to easily penetrate any armor within 90MM within [-] meters.

When the smoke and dust cleared, through the observation window, Gu Ji saw a deep pit in the left front and lower area of ​​the Sherman tank, and the track was completely broken off.

Leer's shout came from the cab.

"It's crooked, Eugen! How do I usually teach you?"

"Sorry sir, it's all my fault for being too excited!"

For a teenager who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, it is very rare to be able to personally control a Tiger turret to confront enemy tanks.

Le Er had a tone of hatred for iron and steel.

"The gunner's job is a delicate operation. You must calm down as soon as possible. First control the hydraulic machine, then turn the steering wheel, and the loader will immediately prepare the bomb..."

"Yes, sir!"

Eugen responded with a snort, and began to turn the hydraulic wheel with his left hand according to the command.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Gu Ji took a few glances, as if he was "stealing the teacher".

The control hand wheel of the Tiger tank is divided into two types: electronic control and mechanical.

The latter is rotated by gears to amplify the torque, and the speed is very slow. Generally, it is only used as a backup when the power system fails.

The electric control is the hydraulic drive and the steering machine. The power provided by the hydraulic pressure is large, and the fort can be moved quickly, but it can only roughly adjust the orientation.

Such rough adjustments cannot guarantee good shooting accuracy.

Therefore, when the gunner is aiming at the target, he usually first uses the hydraulic system to adjust the turret azimuth to a certain approximate position, and then uses the hand wheel of the steering wheel to make fine adjustments. The turret will rotate by 0.9° for each turn.

The sound of the mechanical turning shaft of the fort "crackling" made people's blood spurt.

"Filled!"

"Eugen, hurry up! Elevation angle -2 degrees, 12 o'clock direction!"

Leer is worthy of being an old gunner. Even if he is sitting in the cab, he can judge the attack data according to the observation window.

Eugen quickly turned the steering wheel with his right hand and shouted loudly: "Go to hell!"

The barrel shook.

With a bang, the Sherman tank exploded in response, flames soared into the sky, scattered metal fragments and landslides sprayed in all directions, and there was a faint scream.

"I made it! I made it!"

Eugene clenched his fists excitedly.

Gu Ji, on the other hand, pushed open the driver's window, leaned out half of his body, and lay behind the arc-shaped bunker made of iron armor and sandbags, "Mr. Leer, we have to hurry over to support, another Tiger It won't last long!"

"Sit tight! Let's go!"

Leer gave an order and slammed on the pedal, everything around him was quickly filled with the roar of the engine, and the tracks crushed the gravel on the ground and rushed out, as if he had really turned into a tiger.

Gu Ji took out the anti-aircraft machine gun hanging on the simple pivot of the hatch of the commander's cabin. The movable angle of the machine gun in the turret cabin was too small, and it was always limited by the muzzle steering. It was more flexible to shoot outside the turret. .

This is a MG42 newly developed by Hansland. It is an advanced version of the MG34 machine gun. It has a simpler structure and lower cost, but it has excellent performance. It is the fastest machine gun in World War II, up to 1200 per minute. ~1500 rounds per minute, known as "Hitler's chainsaw".

However, this kind of anti-aircraft machine gun is almost useless against air units, and it is more used against ground troops and unarmored targets.

Soon, Leer drove the Tiger to the intersection from the main road on the north side.

At this moment, the Central Fountain Square has long been destroyed by artillery fire, the flower beds are shattered into powder, and the ground is uneven.

Under the siege of three Shermans, the front armor of the Tiger tank was twisted into waves, almost crumbling.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!!"

Gu Ji's eyes are as sharp as a falcon.

When you spot your target, you immediately yell.

Boom, a shell hit Eugen from the side, and a Sherman tank lost its mobility on the spot.

He pulled the trigger resolutely. Under the super high rate of fire of the MG42, the bullets were densely packed like a death ray, and the Eagle soldiers had no chance to react at all.

As clouds of blood mist exploded, a team of infantry and tank coordinated armored squads only lasted for half a minute before being taken down by them.

Gu Ji had no choice but to lament the horror of heavy firepower again.

In the face of such artillery fire and machine guns, no matter what tactics you have, it is futile.

The remaining Sherman tank wanted to retreat, but the other Tiger didn't seem to intend to let it go at all. Finally, the gunner seized the opportunity and collapsed in the middle of the Southern Avenue.

Korak Lat...

Leer drove the Tiger tank slowly westward. The gun-gray metal tracks completely ignored the potholes left by the battlefield, and flattened the ruins one after another.

Eugen seemed to have learned Gu Ji's previous operation of replenishing the gun, manipulating the turret machine gun, and frantically shooting at the screaming eagle army in the distance.

The two Tiger tanks eventually converged on West Street.

The commander's round hatch was opened, and a middle-aged officer wearing a brim hat, a gray-green suit, and a black Iron Cross on his collar came out.

The slashed face and deep nasolabial folds filled him with a sense of gunpowder, and at the same time, he was a bit more majestic.

"Why is it a private soldier, where is your commander?"

"Report sir, my superior has sacrificed for the empire, the team is improvised, and the tank has just been snatched. The current highest officer is Sergeant Leer, and he is in the cab!"

Gu Ji saluted.

As soon as the voice fell, the cockpit door under the turret was opened, and Leer poked his head out, and said with difficulty:
"Reporting Lieutenant, I am Lehr, the gunner of the 15th Armored Division. Our team was destroyed by the enemy on the East Coast Highway. When we retreated to Reese Street, we were lucky to meet Herman of the 29th Armored Division. He saved us. It was also his idea to take the risk of grabbing tanks."

Gu Ji couldn't help but glanced down at Leer.

Unexpectedly, this middle-aged uncle would take the initiative to mention him first, instead of taking the credit for himself.

Hearing that these things were done by an ordinary private, the lieutenant officer had a look of surprise on his face, and nodded:

"Herman, your performance is very good. I will explain these credits to the higher-ups. My name is Luka, and I am the commander of the No. 1 tank of the 12st Guards Banner Armored Division. Follow me!"

"Yes, sir!"

The first to answer was Eugen who got out from the gunner's hatch.

No wonder he was so excited.

The 1st Guards Banneret Armored Division was one of the earliest armed SS units formed by Liev Lechter. It was known for its brutality, efficiency, and bravery in combat. It was a well-known first-class ace division in World War II.

at this point.

It can be seen from the many iron chains hanging on Luca's Tiger tank.

A hoop means they destroyed a tank.

It is precisely because the 1st Guard Banner Armored Division withdrew from the Eastern Front to support the South and South Outer Islands, and finally indirectly led to the defeat of the Hans Army in the Battle of Kursk, its importance can be seen.

But Gu Ji didn't want to follow the other party in his heart.

Luka's state is obviously a brave officer. If the other party wants to lead them to the front line, wouldn't he be rushing to die?

Just as he was thinking about how to influence the opponent's decision-making.

rumbling...

There was a sharp engine roar in the sky.

Looking at a chubby army green propeller fighter plane swooping down in the sky, it is the famous P-47 Thunderbolt fighter plane of the Eagle Army!
"It's an enemy fighter!!"

Gu Ji roared and hurriedly urged Le Er to leave.

Luca took a look through the binoculars, and suddenly saw several motorcycles on the main road on the east side.

"Damn fools of the Roman Empire, you actually lured the Eagle Army fighter planes to your old nest, go to the west side, and quickly find the ruins to hide!"

With an order, the two Tigers hit the accelerator and started heading west.

But Lucca's tank suffered too much shelling, and the deformed deck hindered the operation of the tracks, and its speed dropped severely.

In less than 2 minutes, the team was chased by the motorized infantry of the Roman state.

The so-called motorized infantry is a three-wheeled motorcycle dragging a rear bucket equipped with a light machine gun or anti-tank gun. Because of the lack of heavy armor burden, it is extremely mobile.

But no matter how fast it is, it cannot be faster than a fighter jet.

It only took half a second for the Thunderbolt fighter plane of the Eagle Army to press up from behind and circled over their heads.

It is estimated that the pilot himself did not think of it.

Originally, they were just chasing a motorized unit, but they bought one and got one free, and found two Hans army tanks.

The next moment, the fighter plane began to dive down.

Da da da……

Two 12.7mm M2 Browning heavy machine guns output at the same time, the firepower is very terrifying.

A motorized infantryman from the Roman state had almost no time to react, and his neck was broken by a bullet. Blood gushed out like a column, and the motorcycle hit the wall uncontrollably, exploding on the spot.

Seeing their companions being slaughtered, the Roman soldiers kept shouting for help.

But Gu Ji had already got back into the cannon.

joke.

At this time, whoever dares to show his head will die.

In an instant, seven or eight Roman motorcycle infantry units were killed, leaving only one to escape into the alley next to it.

Therefore, Gu Ji's Tiger tank became the main target of the fighter.

"Clang clang clang..."

Even though he was hiding in the turret, Gu Ji could still clearly hear the sound of bullets hitting from above his head and from behind. The next moment, a huge explosion resounded in the left front of the tank. On the side armor.

Lele gritted his teeth.

"It's an external rocket launcher!"

"The observation window is broken and I can't see clearly..."

Eugen yelled nervously, and Apu curled up in the corner of the ammunition room with his head in his arms.

The Tiger commanded by Luca was even more appalling. Under the continuous machine gun fire, the track was finally overwhelmed and broke on the spot. After missing a "leg", its moving speed became slower, and with a bang, it was bombed by rockets. In the middle of the avenue.

Gu Ji knew that it would be his turn soon.

He kept checking the surrounding environment through the commander's observation window, but he couldn't find a passage that could accommodate a big guy like the Tiger.

The next rocket hit the ground.

Gu Ji saw a collapsed building in ruins in front of him on the left, and he couldn't care less about life and death.

"Sir, drive into the ruins on the right front!"

Leer didn't have time to ask, so he could only turn the steering wheel, and the big foot pedal slammed into the cracks in the ruins. The vibration caused a second collapse, and a large amount of rubble fell down, burying them inside.

……

……

"The warplane has gone far."

After waiting for a full 15 minutes, Gu Ji's ears left the armor. He has the imprint bonus of hearing improvement, and it is still very easy to determine the location of the sound source of a fighter.

Apu hid below, his throat stuck, and he swallowed.

"Yes, are you sure, do you want to wait?"

"Why are you so timid? You really embarrass the soldiers of the Hans Will Empire!"

Eugen, who was the same age as him, really couldn't see it, so he spat on the spot.

Gu Ji shook his head.

"We can't wait any longer. The pilot knows our approximate location. If we continue to drag, we will still be surrounded by the Eagle Army's ground troops."

As he said that, he tried to push down the captain's cabin door again, but it still didn't move, and the inside of the fort was also pitch black.

"The cabin door can't be opened at all, which means we're buried quite deep. Sir, can we still get out in this situation?"

"It's possible to go back the way you came."

Leer responded and restarted the engine.

The Maybach high-speed gasoline engine used by the Tiger tank has a maximum horsepower of 690 horsepower, but it is too heavy and has insufficient traction.

With a kick of the accelerator, the car body moved back a few inches, and then stopped moving.

Gu Ji vaguely heard the sound of rolling stones, just like when he was drilling the mud tunnel in Jinyuan Building.

His eyes lit up.

"Sir, try to move the body slightly from side to side and back up, so that you can use the stone to slide and reduce resistance."

"Let me try!"

Lehr did it his way.

Not to mention that it was really effective, seeing the car body retreating step by step, there was a "crash", and light came in from the observation window.

It's finally out!
Excited, Eugen opened the gunner's cabin door, and just about to observe the surrounding environment, he suddenly found a figure running towards him.

"There are enemies..."

"It's Lieutenant Luca."

Gu Ji squinted his eyes, and saw that Luca, whose forehead was bleeding, was running towards him with an exquisite automatic rifle in his hand.

That's right.

It's a real automatic rifle: the StG-44 assault rifle!

It is the first automatic rifle equipped on a large scale in the world. It combines the performance characteristics of rifles and submachine guns, and its continuous shooting firepower is very violent within a range of 400 meters.

Gu Ji took the initiative to open the captain's cabin door and let Luka get in.

No one seemed to expect that the lieutenant could survive the explosion of the rocket, so they didn't speak, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Or Gu Jixian reacted:
"Lieutenant Luca, the others..."

"The rocket hit the side armor of the cockpit, and the driver, loader, and radio operator died on the spot. The gunner and I escaped, but were unfortunately swept by the machine guns of the fighter."

Even the iron-blooded officer of the ace unit couldn't hide the sadness in his heart at this moment. His comrades who had fought together for many years died on the battlefield in a foreign land. This feeling is not good.

After a moment of silence, Luca readjusted.

"How did you escape the enemy plane attack?"

"It's all thanks to Herman."

The fall of the ace unit made Eugen admire Gu Ji even more, so he answered proudly.

Luka looked at Gu Ji again, more seriously than before.

"It seems that the 29th Division has a talent. If this battle is over, why don't you call the 1st Guard Banner Team and follow me."

"Honour, Lieutenant."

Gu Ji first expressed his "sincerity", and then took the opportunity to express his own analysis:
"However, the counterattack of the Wuying coalition forces is more violent than expected. We must hurry up and contact the headquarters and gather troops as soon as possible. It will not last long if we are in a mess like this!"

He remembers one of the reasons for the failure of the South-South Foreign War:

It was because Hans and the senior Roman commanders had disagreements, uncoordinated actions, and dispersed the main force, that they were defeated one by one by the Foghawk coalition forces.

Obviously, this passage once again attracted Luca's attention.

"Where's the Infinity Telegraph Operator?"

"I, I am, Lieutenant."

Apu timidly raised his hand under the shaft.

"Contact the headquarters immediately to confirm the shortest distance of the large troops!"

"Unfortunately, lieutenant, the radio equipment of this tank has long been broken..."

"Damn!"

Gu Ji secretly observed Luka's expression, adding fuel to the flames:
"Lieutenant, since that's the case, let's head northwest. The 29th Armored Division I'm in is near Mount Rutana."

"That's all for now."

Luca made up his mind, "I am in command of the team for the time being, Herman is the machine gunner, and the rest remain unchanged. The target is Rutana Volcano. Let's set off immediately!"

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Leer drove the tank up the main road on the west side.

After reaching the height of the town, Gu Ji finally saw the coastline and the endless Mediterranean Sea through the observation window.

The fighting situation on the coast also made everyone dumbfounded.

Three aircraft carriers, six Eagle Mist coalition battleships, and countless assault ships are bombarding the shore crazily. A fire ignites where the water meets the land, as if a volcano erupted from the sea. Hundreds of Hans Army and Roman tanks were strewn across the sand like a school of beached turtles.

This means that the defense of the eastern part of Nannan Outer Island has been completely defeated.

The urban battlefield is also not optimistic.

The white sculpture of the Goddess of Peace standing in the square ahead was blown off in half, and the ground was covered with charred and incomplete corpses. On the loudspeakers on both sides of the street, in addition to the beeping of the air defense siren, there was also a warning to remind civilians to evacuate:
"All civilians, please rest assured that the soldiers of the motherland will give priority to protecting you from the theater..."

Vaguely, Gu Ji heard the screams of the woman and the crying of the child, and he subconsciously remembered those pairs of eyes that were hiding in the rubble before.

Luka and Eugen's faces were unbelievable at first;
then anger;
In the end it became lost.

1943 was the year when the Hans Army deteriorated in an all-round way.

……

……

The urban area of ​​the island is certainly not too big.

In less than 10 minutes, the tank left the town.

After entering the mountain forest.

As far as the eye can see, there are large green olive and citrus tree branches intertwined, and the flourishing branches and leaves spread out like emerald green clouds, covering the blue sky tightly.

It would have been a pretty sight if it weren't for the sound of gunfire coming from the woods.

Eugen began to panic a little.

"Why do you still hear gunshots when you come here? Could it be that the Fog Eagle Alliance has already reached Mengxi?"

Monsina is the northernmost city on the Nannan Outer Islands, and it is also the only throat connecting the Roman mainland.

Once the troops of the Allied Powers capture Monsina, it means completely occupying Nannan Outer Island, then they will be trapped in the center, poor, waiting to be slaughtered.

"I, shouldn't we be abandoned?"

Pu's lips trembled.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, even Leer in the cab put away the accelerator, as if he had lost the fighting spirit to move forward.

Seeing this, Luca immediately turned off the safety of the rifle.

"Shut up! Whoever shakes the morale of the army, I will shoot him dead!"

"Wait, there seems to be movement ahead!"

Gu Jichu was at the observation port of the machine gun, and suddenly noticed that the grass in the forest area in front seemed to be shaking. He looked carefully and saw a figure sticking out carrying a green thing that looked like a gun barrel.

"Get out of the way! It's the bazooka!!"

laugh--!
After all, he shouted a step slower, and with a large amount of tail smoke rising, a flame screeched and screamed, and hit the left front of the tank violently, rumbling, splashing mud and violent explosions tore the body of the Tiger tank .

Gu Ji locked on the target instantly according to the smoke.

The trigger is pulled.

The MG34 machine gun swept across in an instant, and the bloody arrows soared.

Eugen also launched a shell and hit it. The fire from the explosion ignited the trees, and there were screams at the same time.

Le Er slammed on the accelerator, wanting to leave the battlefield quickly.

But there was a sudden "crack" on the left side, as if it had lost its grip.

Leer immediately shouted below:
"The left track is broken!"

"Prepare to abandon the car."

Luca made a decisive decision based on the situation. Now that the tank has lost power and the number of enemies is unknown, abandoning the vehicle and fleeing is the best choice.

Gu Ji shouted while pulling the trigger.

"I'll cover you! Go!"

In an instant.

Luka, Leer, Eugen, and Apu were all stunned. They didn't expect Gu Ji to be so brave.

You know, in the current situation, it means that you have to bear the danger alone.

"Hans will give you strength!"

Luka seemed a little reluctant, grabbed Gu Ji's shoulder heavily, and finally turned around, "Get ready to retreat!"

Crash, everyone opened the hatch one after another to prepare to escape.

And a tank has only three hatches.

As a radio operator, A Pu could only get into the fort first, and when he saw Gu Ji, he hesitated for a moment, as if he was worried about his safety.

"Come on!"

Gu Ji yelled one last time.

After everyone retreated, he also dropped the machine gun and climbed out of the commander's cover, clang!

In just a moment, three or four bullets hit.

It turned out that more than a dozen figures had already sprung out of the woods. Looking at the military uniforms, they seemed to be soldiers of the Fog Army!
Gu Ji used the M1 submachine gun to shoot back indiscriminately, taking advantage of the intermittent gap, and rolled directly down.

The moment he landed, he took out the [Poison Needle Trap] landmine from his backpack.

"It's up to you, brother!"

Gu Ji took a deep breath, pressed the trigger button on the top, and threw it back violently.

At the moment of falling, the landmine spread out its octopus like a spider, firmly fixed in front of the armor of the tank, and then, like a chameleon, it quickly merged with the gray-green paint of the Tiger tank.

It's hard to see the difference without looking closely.

That's right.

The reason why Gu Ji had the courage to push back was because of this hole card. When he ran more than ten meters away, the soldiers of the fog army behind him had already caught up with the tiger tank.

He hurriedly hid behind an olive tree trunk.

next moment.

The landmine exploded with a buzzing sound like a shock bomb, and countless metal needles slammed into all directions, piercing the tree trunk in front of him, making a "tattling" sound.

The seven or eight fog soldiers nearby were all shot with poisonous needles.

They screamed subconsciously, and just wanted to reach out to pull it out, but in a blink of an eye, as if they had eaten poisonous mushrooms, they grinned stupidly, and stretched out their hands to grab the air in front of them.

The soldiers who were not shot by the poisonous needle wanted to step forward to check the status of their teammates.

Either being bitten by the poisoned person as food, or being hugged fiercely, and having to be directly beaten, or even almost shot.

"The effect of this mine is really strong, which is equivalent to doubling the weakening of enemy personnel."

Gu Ji's pupils shrank.

If you give him a few more, he will be able to take the whole group of enemy troops by himself.

I just don't know if the mines will be refreshed once the death rolls back.

Before he had time to think about it, Gu Ji turned his head and continued to chase Luka and the others. Seeing that the figure in front of him was close at hand, he hurriedly shouted a few times to avoid being accidentally injured.

"Lieutenant! It's me!"

"Hermann!?"

Luka didn't seem to expect that he could escape from the siege of the fog army unscathed, "Thank God!!"

Le Er breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to hug Gu Ji, and grinned.

"Just come back, my man!"

"The glory of Hans' will protects you! Brother Hermann!"

Eugen was so excited that he straightened his back, stretched his right hand vertically to his chest, and even saluted Hans' Will, which is usually a ritual that only expresses personal worship to the head of state, which is enough to prove that Gu Ji is now in his heart status.

Apu on the side didn't speak, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was also very excited.

Gu Ji patted Le Er's back.

"There's no time to celebrate, the fog army has surrounded us, we have to hurry up the mountain!"

Mountain, referring to the nature of Mount Rutana.

Everyone nodded, Luka led the way, Gu Ji took the second position, then Eugen, Apu, and finally Leer was in charge of the tail.

July is the hot season in Nannan Outer Islands.

The woods are extremely hot, the wet leaves on the ground are often slippery and soft mud and rotten wood, clumps of vines and messy crawling plants make walking more difficult, and everyone is sweating profusely after walking .

Fortunately, Gu Ji relied on SERE survival training to find water sources from water vines.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Seeing the sun gradually set in the west, the team finally reached the foot of the mountain at the southeastern tip of Rutana Volcano.

And there was a firefight here.

A large number of lemon trees were crushed and crushed by the tanks, the weeds on the ground were burned piece by piece, and the corpses of soldiers from the Fog Army and the Hans Army were laid out intertwined.

Gu Ji saw one of the officer's corpses with an M24 grenade hanging on his belt, and a Stg44 assault rifle beside him. He had been coveting this gun for a long time, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no danger around him, he leaned over and "licked the bag" ".

Close to the center of the battlefield.

Only then did he discover that many corpses were not killed by shells, but were burned alive. Sure enough, the back of one of the corpses was carrying a circular metal equipment similar to an XO wine bottle, which was a flamethrower!

The flamethrower is a very special individual combat weapon. It has basically lost its use value in modern warfare. However, during World War II, using flames to kill enemies in trenches or bunkers was a very effective attack method.

Don't underestimate this thing. In the middle of World War II, the longest range of flamethrowers in various countries can basically reach 40 meters, and a single spray can be sprayed continuously for about 2 seconds.

Sweeping such a big fire in close combat would scare anyone.

And when Gu Ji threw away the Mauser rifle and replaced all the leather cases with the 44-round magazine of the Stg30 assault rifle, his ears suddenly twitched instinctively.

"Front right, I have a situation at 1 o'clock!"

Swish!

Leer and Eugen reacted instantly, but the moment the gun was thrown out, a low voice came from behind the tree:
"Don't shoot! I'm from the 1st Airborne Division!"

"Drop your weapon and let me see your hands!"

Under Luka's stern yelling, a young soldier wearing light gray-green overalls, leather boots, and a one-piece cap with pilot glasses came out of the woods.

"My name is Felix, and I am a pilot. This morning, I was carrying out a material airdrop mission from Lebdas to Yastani. I was hit by the anti-aircraft machine gun of the Fog Army over the Rutana Volcano. Forced to do nothing, I had no choice but to abandon the plane and skydive."

For some reason, upon hearing this passage, Gu Ji thought of his father.

Luke was skeptical when he heard this, and did not put down his gun.

"Since you crashed in the morning, why are you still here?"

"I can't go out. The forest is full of fog troops. I heard in Dunkirk that Mosnelli has been interviewed urgently by King Vittorio Emanuele III of Rome. Remove him from all duties."

"Now the Roman army has no intention of fighting. The Eagle Army captured 5.3 Roman troops in Palermo. The British dispatched the 30th Army to bypass the Lutana Fire Mountain and prepare to surround Astani with the US 7th Army."

Felix's words shocked everyone present.

Could it be true that what Apu said, they have been abandoned by the empire?

But Gu Ji heard a key message from it:
Mosnelli step down!

Anyone who has studied high school history knows that this historical event took place on July 1943, 7.

In other words, today is the 25th.

Then the system stipulates that I arrive in Ludwigshafen within three days, which means that the disaster should have happened before the 28th.

Gu Ji thought carefully in his heart.

But after searching all the records of major disasters and accidents in the history of Hans country, no relative case can be found.

"Then how should we join the main force? Brother Herman, do you have any good ideas?"

Eugen subconsciously looked at Gu Ji.

For him, Gu Ji is now an omnipotent existence.

Since today is the 25th, it means that Hans Roman's army can last for a few more days, because the Allied forces attacked Monsina on August 8th.

But he will definitely not wait for support here.

So he added oil and vinegar.

"The situation in Astani is not optimistic now. We should find a way to retreat to Monsina or Lebudas and ask the headquarters for support."

"But how can we fight out from the siege of the fog army?"

Leer couldn't help asking.

Maybe it was the feeling of being abandoned, maybe it was the unacceptable result of the defeat of the Hans army, maybe it was the resonance caused by the corpses of the companions along the way.

In short, there was no fighting spirit in his eyes.

Gu Ji raised his head and looked at the pilot.

"Felix, do you know where there are planes near here?"

"I know what you think, but unfortunately, I have already tried."

Felix raised his finger to Mount Rutana.

"The Hans army has a military air-raid shelter at the foot of the mountain, where aircraft and artillery are parked, but it is now guarded by two squads of fog troops of more than [-] people. It is impossible for us to defeat them."

"Does it have heavy firepower?"

"No."

"Then there is still a chance, it's just..."

When Gu Ji said this, he paused for a moment, "We have to find a way to distract them, so we need someone to make a big noise to attract the main force of the fog army."

Everyone knows the meaning of this sentence. Compared with the previous retreat cover, this is completely death.

Luka's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.

Gu Jigang narrowly escaped death for the team;

Felix is ​​the pilot;

Leer has lost his fighting spirit;

Eugen kept his head down, a little nervous.

His lips trembled slightly, and at the moment when he was about to speak, unexpectedly, the most cowardly Apu stood up on his own initiative.

"Let me do it!"

When he said this, Apu's whole body trembled.

Eugen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head.

"Yes! You can let Apu go, you have been hiding behind everyone, this time it's your turn to contribute!"

Luca squinted.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Apu was a half-baked recruit, but he swept through everyone again, and among the crowd, only Apu was useless at all.

He walked to Apu's side, and squeezed his shoulder like he did to Gu Ji.

"Apu, go and bring the flamethrower, I hope you can complete this mission with honor, and Hans' will will give you strength!"

"Yes!"

Apu straightened his back.

Although he was frightened, he obeyed the order and snatched the MK.II series individual flamethrower from the dead body of the fog army.

The weight of nearly 20 kilograms weighed on his thin body, which seemed particularly uncoordinated, but Apu still tried his best to straighten his back.

Luka and the others were also collecting equipment from the corpses.

"set off!"

Seeing that everyone had finished tidying up, he ordered Felix to lead the way to the air-raid shelter of the Hans Army.

Along the way, Apu kept chanting in his mouth:

"Long live victory, my glory is loyalty, Hans' will will bring me strength..."

Gu Ji looked back at him.

From the young man's eyes, he saw fear, innocence, and finally gradually turned into the fanaticism in Eugen's eyes.

Finally arrived at the air-raid shelter station.

Gu Ji hid behind a tree and observed the front with a telescope.

It was an open mountain, and a semi-circular air-raid shelter was dug out at the corner of the mountain, inside which was parked a military-green Hans Army He111 medium bomber, with an anti-aircraft gun and a sentry tower beside it.

The fog army is currently occupying several important positions around the air-raid shelter, especially the sentry towers and anti-aircraft guns.

Gu Ji's brain was running at high speed, constantly evaluating tactics.

"The difficulty lies in two, the sentry tower and the machine gun. We went around from the side and rear to outflank the sentry, and then used the grenade to force the machine gunner to leave the machine gun."

"Apu, you are in charge of attracting the enemy troops head-on, and act when you hear the first gunshot. It is best to lead them out of the anti-aircraft mountain, is that okay?"

"can!"

Apu managed to force a smile.

Although it could be seen that he was trying to be brave, he was much better than before.

Luca couldn't bear to look at this young man anymore.

Turned.

"Then follow Herman's plan and prepare for action!!"

(End of this chapter)
