Chapter 574 New Enemy Situation (Plus 7)

Soldier David, quickly squatted on the ground, took down the mortar he was carrying from the ground, holding the barrel in his left hand and the bottom plate in his right hand.

This posture is almost indistinguishable from the grenade launcher of the island country.

Yes, this kind of thing is a bit too much to call a mortar. In fact, it is just a grenade.

This is a 2-inch gun. If it is converted into metric system, it is 51 mm. It can be found that the caliber is small and easy to carry. In the establishment of the British army, this kind of mortar has one in the headquarters of each platoon. Each company has three guns. It can be said that when the troops lack heavy weapons, this mortar is their main weapon.

In terms of range and ammunition power, it is not as good as the French 60mm mortar. Compared with the Japanese grenade, it has a slightly larger range and higher accuracy, especially with simple sights, which are easy for beginners to master. .

Yes, this mortar has simple sights.

At this point, after placing the mortar, David began to fiddle with the turntable below. Now, the distance is 400 meters, which is almost the limit of his own range, so the highest elevation angle is used. .

Then, it is the adjustment of the angle. This mortar has two angle rulers on the chassis and the middle, which are used for fine adjustment. Soon, he completed the preparation.

"Let it go!" he shouted loudly.

The assistant on the side, stuffed the 2-inch mortar shell from the muzzle, and let go.

"Bang!" When the shell fell to the bottom, it was fired below, the gunpowder was ignited, and with its own power, the shell flew out from the muzzle.

David stared intently at the cannonball he fired. The first shot was not necessarily accurate. He needed to make corrections by observing where it landed. The second shot would definitely be more accurate than the first.

"Boom!" Sure enough, the shell exploded a few meters away from the opponent's machine gun, three close positions to the right!

He adjusted nervously, and then, he felt his head, as if hit by something, and his neck seemed to be unable to withstand such a strong impact.

Then, his world was darkness. Before the darkness, there was no pain, only numbness.

"David!" shouted the loader next to him.

A bullet hit David's head accurately, and after the loader finished shouting, he was also shot in the head.

Opposite, there are snipers!

The people behind, without hesitation, stepped forward immediately, took the mortar, and continued to operate.

Even if there are snipers on the opposite side, they need to fight. Only by defeating the enemy on the opposite side can they have hope of victory!

"Da da da." Here, the British machine guns also fired violently, suppressing the opposite side. It was just an infantry battalion. The infantry division of its own, pressing all the troops on it, will definitely be able to rush over!

No matter how much firepower the opponent has, in short, the number of opponents is limited!

Before the arrival of German reinforcements, it is necessary to solve Calais, hold it firmly, and create an opportunity for the retreat of the expeditionary army!

"Boom!" The mortar continued to fire at the opponent. This time, it accurately hit one of the opponent's machine gun fire points!

There was a burst of cheers here, but just two seconds after the cheers, the machine gun on the opposite side began to sound again.

Obviously, at this time, the other party is also crazy, the machine gunner is dead, the top behind!

The machine guns on this side were suppressed, and the machine guns on the opposite side continued to fire!

It is unwise to continue charging without suppressing the opponent's machine guns, but now, Montgomery has no other choice, the most precious thing is time!

"Five minutes later, organize the second round of the charge!" Montgomery said.

Looking at the motorcade next to him, he thought of an idea: "Cover our car with a quilt, water it, and rush over!"

After more than ten minutes of fighting, it seems that the opponent does not have any heavy firepower. Now, as long as he has a tank, he can rush up, but unfortunately there is no, so he can only think of other ways.

For example, in the current car, you can still make a temporary cameo. He has no steel plate to increase the protection, so he has to use the earth method.

Montgomery, is quite good at brainstorming.

The quilt is added with water, and the bulletproof effect is still ok.

"Yes." A brigade commander beside him immediately went to give an order.

Continuing to hold the binoculars, Montgomery once again discovered a problem. The other party was understaffed, so why did he have to use his brains on the bridge here? On the canal next to it, you can still think of ways, such as artificial bridges!

The easiest thing to do is to drive the car down to the bridge!

Anyway, these cars are probably not going to be brought back to the UK. It is better to use them now than to leave them to the Germans!

Can't wait any longer, give the order immediately and organize a new attack! The Germans just set up defenses on the bridge here, and the entire city of Calais is wide!

"Master, Master, it's not good!" At this moment, the adjutant hurried over.

Oh no? What's the bad news? The worst news is that we can't attack the city in time? Aren't you trying hard now?

"Master, look to the left, look to our left wing!"

They drove all the way from the right, and now, to their left, on the horizon, there was a cloud of black smoke.

what is that?

There was some fog in the morning, and they couldn't see too far, but just by looking at the black smoke, they could guess what.

The black smoke is the exhaust gas from the combustion of the engine. Because the other party is driving savagely, it will continue to emit black smoke. Judging from the scale of the black smoke, the other party is definitely a powerful force.

On your own side? The French Army of the South came to the rescue? Stop dreaming, it's impossible.

Since it is not the French Legion, it must be the Germans who are here. This is all over the mountains, not only along the road, but also traveling at high speed in the wild. This means that it is not just a car, but there must be tanks!

Almost in an instant, Montgomery judged that it was the German armored troops who came here!

In repeated battles, the German armored forces were mythical, they were invincible.

Montgomery knew that any unit was flawed. No matter how powerful the German tanks were, if they pressed down on anti-tank mines, they had to blow up their tracks and could not move forward. With mines, they could block the opponent.

Moreover, the military researchers in the rear must be working tirelessly to study the solution. The German tanks are not invincible.

But now, he lacks anti-tank mines, and he lacks the time to lay mines. The Germans are rushing at high speed. What should we do on our own side?

Stay here to resist, waiting for your main force to arrive for reinforcements? still?
