The decisive battle against the Third Reich

But this time, the US military is obviously disappointed again.

While the gunfire was still roaring, Qinchuan led the soldiers out of the high ground and climbed up to the top of the mountain along the communication trench... In fact, the communication trench no longer existed. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a mountain top, Qinchuan and others would have really Can't believe this is the Onna Highlands where they stayed.

As soon as the soldiers climbed to the top of the mountain, bullets were fired from the opposite side of the position.

That was the anti-aircraft machine gun set up by the Americans on the opposite high ground... Although it was more than a hundred meters lower than the Enna Highlands, it could still barely see this side and use the anti-aircraft machine gun to suppress fire.

Immediately afterwards, several mortar shells exploded near the soldiers. These were also mortar shells fired from the opposite high ground.

This may be a good tactic. Use anti-aircraft machine guns and mortars to suppress the German army. At the same time, the US military quickly leaps towards the hilltop position under their cover... Once the US military rushes to the hilltop position, after a row of grenades, the US military will It would surge up like a tide and then string the German troops on their bayonets.

But the US military has overlooked one point. Enna is always higher than the US military's high ground.

Since it is higher than the U.S. military, it means that there are always places where the U.S. military can be seen from Onna Heights, but the U.S. military cannot or can only see a small part of the location.

So, this is where the sniper comes into play.

Qin Chuan winked at Kun, who understood and ran away with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan ran along the ridge for a while, then found a position and squatted down, holding the gun in his hand and getting ready to shoot.

"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and Kuhn fired at the other end.

Kuhn fired this shot randomly to attract the attention of the US military. He ran away immediately after firing the shot.

The US military, which did not have much combat experience, was indeed fooled. The anti-aircraft machine gun immediately fired rows of bullets at Kuhn's original position, and at the same time, mortar shells also followed.

However, at this moment, Qin Chuan came forward with a gun, and almost pulled the trigger as soon as the crosshairs locked on an American soldier.

With a "bang", the sound of machine gunfire suddenly stopped, and the American soldier leaned back and fell to the ground.

Another US machine gunner was not slow in his movements. He immediately turned his gun and aimed at Qin Chuan. But just as he was about to pull the trigger, there was a "bang" from the other end... The bullet fired by Kuhn knocked down the machine gunner. On the ground.

Then there was another "bang", and this time it was Qin Chuan's turn.

Qinchuan and Kuhn shot each other, and soon suppressed several machine guns and mortars of the US military on the high ground... This actually requires cooperation, because the K98K is a bolt-action rifle with a high rate of fire. It's slow, and there are many targets on the high ground opposite. Sometimes, no matter how fast your hands are, you can't kill the target in time.

At this time, it is necessary for the two of them to work together to kill those targets that pose a threat in a timely manner.

This may seem simple, but as long as there is poor coordination, for example, two people aim at the same target and fire, the result may be that the sniper is suppressed by the enemy or even injured.

However, this scene did not happen. The covering firepower on the high ground of the US military was quickly suppressed by the sniper rifles of Qinchuan and Kuhn, making them unable to move... This is also one of the reasons why the armies of various countries are vigorously developing snipers at this time. , just a rifle and a few rounds of bullets, such a low cost, in the hands of a well-trained sniper, can produce effects that cannot be achieved by mortars, machine guns, etc.

The U.S. troops who rushed to the middle of the mountain were a little anxious when they saw that their covering units were suppressed. They knew that if they continued like this, their own scene would soon appear again: the Germans fired rows of bullets at them from a high position, and They didn't even see the enemy's shadow.

So as the officer shouted, the American troops shouted and rushed to the hilltop position with bayonets drawn... They obviously planned to rush into the German position and fight hand-to-hand before the German army was ready to defend.

Although the US military is not good at hand-to-hand combat, when the number of people is disproportionate and they are always in unfavorable terrain, they are certainly more willing to choose hand-to-hand combat.

However, this is just wishful thinking on their part.

With a whistle, the German soldiers fired the grenades they had prepared and threw them towards the other side... The characteristic of the ridge line of the mountaintop position is that this side is a reverse slope and that side is a forward slope, which means that the soldiers Just throw the grenade outward like this, and it will be thrown in front of the American soldiers who are charging on the slope. The German soldiers don't even have to show their heads.

Then, there was a roar and the screams of American soldiers from the front slope.

Soon there was another whistle, and grenades were thrown up from the top of the mountain in rows... The US military also wanted to use the same method to throw grenades to counter the Germans, but soon found that this did not work.

First of all, the US military does not know the location and situation of the German army on the other slope, so it basically relies on blindfolding to throw grenades.

Secondly, the U.S. military is at a low place and the German army is at a high place, which means that the German army can throw grenades at the feet of the U.S. military, but the U.S. military may not necessarily be able to throw grenades at the German army's position.

Thirdly, what is more important is that the US military uses oval grenades.

Of course, egg-shaped grenades have many advantages, such as small size, light weight, easy to carry, etc., but it also has disadvantages...the throwing distance is not as good as that of wooden handle grenades.

However, this shortcoming is not the focus here. The focus is that the oval grenade will roll back.

You must know that the US military is below the slope at this time, and the grenade explodes with delay. If it fails to throw it over the slope... it will roll back to its own camp and explode.

The U.S. military is a group of new recruits. Of course, they do not dare to take this risk, so they can only be blown up batch by batch by the German army with grenades below.

Not long after, the U.S. military could only withdraw with a pile of corpses under the cover of mortars.

"Hell!" Major General Allen cursed angrily: "Are the Germans invincible? Did they emerge from the ground?!"

"They just came out of the ground!" A voice sounded behind Major General Allen.

Major General Allen looked back and saw that it was General Patton. He hurriedly greeted him and shook hands with General Patton.

"General, you shouldn't be here!" Major General Allen said.

"Where else would I be?" Patton replied. "With those idiots in the UK?"

As he spoke, Barton raised his telescope and looked towards Enna Heights.

In fact, Major General Allen is right. The US military system does not allow army commanders like General Patton to go to the front line. They should stay in the headquarters to coordinate the entire army's operations, rear supply, and contact with superiors.

But it was obvious that General Patton did not take these systems seriously.
