Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 565 Battle of the Somme

Cheng Yanqiu's voice rang in Qi Lin's ears. Judging from the behavior of the German soldiers around him, only Qi Lin could hear this voice.

"If you really want to know the whole truth, just pass these tests, and I know it's not too hard for you."

After saying these words, that voice disappeared without a trace, as if everything was Qi Lin's hallucination.

Only the sound of guns and guns on the battlefield is still one after another.

It seems that in order to take care of Qi Lin, the language used by the German soldiers around them is all English. Coupled with the historical background at that time, this scene looks a little weird.

Qi Lin looked at the Mauser G98 rifle in his hand, and checked the equipment on his body again—except for those sundries, he only had 13 rounds of 7.92mm Mauser rifle ammunition left on him, and an M24-type Wooden handle grenade - At this time, it was almost half a year before the M1917 cluster anti-tank grenade specially developed to deal with tanks appeared.

Based on the amount of charge of the M24 grenade alone, it is possible to blow through the armor of the tank unless multiple grenades are bundled together-however, the most critical point is that the throwing grenade must be close to the tank, which is too risky. big.

Of the three Mark I tanks, one is a "male", equipped with two 57mm naval rapid-fire guns and four [-]mm Vickers water-cooled heavy machine guns, and the other two are "male and female", Instead of rapid-fire guns, six heavy machine guns were installed.

Coupled with the Enfield rifles in the hands of the infantry behind the tanks, the British army continued to suppress the German positions with firepower, and the German soldiers had to hide in the trenches. Killed.

Even if Qi Lin is an evolutionary, it is almost impossible for him to get close to the tank to throw a grenade without cover. As soon as he rushes out of the trench, he will be beaten into a hornet's nest immediately.

How do you destroy a tank when you can't get close to it?
As for the other condition - to survive for 24 hours, this condition may be achieved if you change the battlefield, but you must know that this is the Somme River, and Qi Lin's position is still at the forefront of the damn front, only 300 meters away from the British army's position. Less than [-] meters.

If he chooses to escape, he will be greeted by machine gun fire from the supervisory team——

"Destroy tanks at a long distance..." Qi Lin kept searching for information about World War I in his mind-he had never taken history classes taught in school, let alone military school courses, and his understanding of World War I was limited to a few The information I checked in my spare time and the war shooting games I played.

However, among the poor information, Qi Lin really found a weapon that can be used to deal with tanks!

"Type K bomb!"

K-type bullets, referred to as K bullets, to put it bluntly, in fact, this is an early armor-piercing bullet. The K bullet with a tungsten carbide core can penetrate a 10 mm thick steel plate at a distance of [-] meters.

During the Battle of the Somme, the German army had been equipped with K bombs, but at that time the K bombs were allotted to snipers and machine gunners, specially used to deal with enemies hiding behind shields made of metal armor plates.

The armor thickness of the Mark I tank is only about 1917 to [-] millimeters. If you find the right angle, you can use the K bomb to penetrate the armor plate of the tank and kill the occupants inside. However, it was not until [-] that the German army captured It was only after two Mark Is that this situation was discovered, and K bombs were issued to ordinary infantry as anti-tank weapons.

But it didn't take long for the British army to put the Mark IV tank with thicker armor into the battlefield, and the K bomb lost its role as an anti-tank weapon.

Qi Lin pulled over a soldier next to him, and asked loudly: "Is there any K bomb? Who here has K bomb?!"

"What... what?" The soldier was obviously still in the horror and fear of seeing the tank for the first time, and he didn't realize what Qi Lin asked him at all.

"K bomb! I say K bomb!"

"...K bomb? Then... only snipers and machine gunners have that... Squad leader, we are an infantry squad... How, how can there be such a thing?" The soldier was a little timid. He said——Qi Lin had noticed his military rank from the very beginning. He was a corporal. According to the establishment of the German army during World War I, he should be the squad leader of this infantry squad.

During World War II, the rifle squads of the German army basically fought around the MG34 or MG42 in the squad. However, during World War I, machine guns were not so popular. Ordinary infantry squads only had submachine guns at most, and they rarely equipped them. machine gun.

Moreover, due to weight issues, most of the machine guns are fixed on the ground, and the division of machine gun squads and rifle squads is still very clear.

"Then where is the nearest machine gun squad?" Qi Lin continued to ask. At this critical juncture, he didn't bother to think about whether this question seemed abrupt in his capacity. Anyway, he would return after the battle... Ah bah, after completing this test, he will leave this battlefield.

"Ma, Sergeant Marcus's machine gun squad... is, is in the C6 position next door... But, but I haven't heard the sound of firing from their side for a long time..."

"Where is the C6 position?" Qi Lin felt that if this was a time-traveling plot, his identity as a time-traveler would be exposed in minutes.

"Over...over there..." Fortunately, out of fear and nervousness, the soldier didn't think too much, and honestly pointed Qi Lin in a direction.

……

The C6 position is not far from the trench where Qi Lin and his rifle squad are located, but the section between the two trenches has been bombed and collapsed. If Qi Lin wants to enter the C6 position, he must rush through a section of about 15 meters. , Lot without any cover.

But fortunately, as an evolutionary, Qi Lin still has the advantage of speed. Taking advantage of other people's inattention, he jumped across the blank area and rolled into the opposite trench.

This is the C6 position where Sergeant Marcus's machine gun squad is located, but Qi Lin understands why the soldier said that he hadn't heard the sound of the machine gun for a long time-a mortar shell just fell into the In the trenches, the entire machine gun squad was killed.

The MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun was crookedly leaning against the edge of the trench, with two damaged wooden ammunition boxes beside it.

If Qi Lin remembers correctly, each Maxim heavy machine gun will be equipped with two to three K bullet belts, and one belt is 250 rounds of bullets—for the Maxim heavy machine gun with an astonishing rate of fire, it may only be able to support a few bullets. It took only a few seconds to shoot, but for Qi Lin, it was completely enough.

"Fortunately, the bullets of MG08 and G98 can be used in common, and the logistics concept of the German army is still very advanced..."

Qi Lin quickly found the two cloth bullet chains with special markings, and picked out the K bullets on them one by one.
