Chapter 20 Wisdom

The lieutenant chose the former, that is, to shoot the machine gunner... Qin Chuan heard a rolling sound on the roof, and at the same time a crisp gunshot rang out.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but admire the lieutenant's sniping skills. He could roll to avoid bullets while shooting the enemy... and Qin Chuan was very sure that the lieutenant hit the target, otherwise the Vickers machine gun would have made its monster-like roar at this time.

But this is not a solution after all, because if it continues like this, the lieutenant and Qin Chuan will pay the price of their lives, and in the end they will not be able to stop the British army from firing Vickers.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan changed a sniper position and stuck out his gun and head again, and then fired a bullet with a "bang".

This time Qin Chuan's target was not a person but the Vickers heavy machine gun... The bullet hit the thick water-cooled cylinder at the front of the machine gun very accurately. In the sight, Qin Chuan could see its thick muzzle jump up, and then drop down again.

Qin Chuan noticed that there was a column of water below it, like a hot spring, with water flowing and steam coming out.

Qin Chuan did not dare to observe any more, because at this time the British bullets were already "whizzing" towards him, and he could only retract his head and wait silently.

Qin Chuan was soon disappointed, because the terrifying sound of machine guns rang out, and dense bullets poured towards the anti-tank guns on the other side of the street like flying sand and rocks. Qin Chuan could even imagine the tragic scene of the anti-tank gunners falling in a pool of blood, but Qin Chuan was powerless.

Fortunately, the machine gun misfired after a while.

Qin Chuan thought that this was probably because the British soldiers did not find that the machine gun water cooling cylinder was leaking, so it was natural... After a crazy burst of shooting, the barrel was deformed due to the high temperature and then malfunctioned.

Usually such a malfunction cannot be solved in a short time, even if water is poured into it or the gap in the water cooling cylinder is blocked... unless a new barrel is replaced.

Qin Chuan knew that they had finally gotten rid of this threat.

The anti-tank guns took advantage of this time to continue firing at the target... In fact, this was the last ten shells of the anti-tank guns that the artillery had replenished.

Qin Chuan looked through the cracks in the wall at the explosion point of the anti-tank guns, and saw that the load-bearing wall had been blown into a big hole by dozens of shells from the anti-tank guns. But perhaps because the quality of the building was too strong, even if the bricks and stones had been blown off like flour, the building was still intact.

Soon, the anti-tank guns were silent again.

Qin Chuan ran back anxiously and shouted to the artillerymen dozens of meters behind: "What's going on? A few more shells! It's going to collapse!"

The artillerymen saw Qin Chuan, but they couldn't hear what Qin Chuan said amid the sound of gunfire, but they could guess what Qin Chuan meant... Their response to Qin Chuan was to shake their heads and spread their hands.

Qin Chuan understood what they meant: there were no shells!

"Fuck you!" Qin Chuan cursed. It was just a little bit short, maybe just a few more shells... but now all the efforts were in vain!

Qin Chuan, in a rage, raised his rifle and pulled the trigger towards the big hole blown out by the anti-tank gun...

This was just Qin Chuan venting his anger, but he didn't expect that the whole west side of the school collapsed with a bang, followed by the east side... Only a small part of the east side remained in the artillery fire and the bullets coming and going.

At this time, the sound of gunfire suddenly slowed down... The reason for this was that on the one hand, the collapse of the school instantly reduced the British army's firepower, and on the other hand, both the enemy and us were shocked by this scene and forgot to shoot.

After a long time, the German army woke up from the shock, and Bazel shouted: "Warriors of the Empire, it's time to avenge our comrades, attack!"

"Attack!"

"Kill them all!"

...

The German soldiers shouted slogans and rushed towards the ruined school like a flood that broke through the dam...

There is no need to say more about the next battle.

The school was originally the place with the strongest defense of the British army, and the British army was very confident in it, but because of this, they did not make more preparations. So when the school collapsed, the British army completely exposed its weak parts to the German army, and the German army attacked the British army's vulnerable artillery like a steel knife.

This soon caused a chain reaction, and soon the British troops on the entire line of defense dropped their light and heavy weapons and fled.

Qin Chuan sat on the ground, looking at the German army rushing forward like ants, and couldn't help but smile foolishly: He didn't expect that the bullet he accidentally fired would become the last straw that crushed the entire building. It seems that the goddess of fate is still on his side.

A cigarette was handed to Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan looked up and found that it was a second lieutenant. There were a few bloodshot on his face, a sniper rifle under his armpit, and he stood calmly beside Qin Chuan.

"Well done, private!" said the second lieutenant.

"Thank you!" Qin Chuan took the cigarette: "You shoot better!"

"Maybe!" The second lieutenant replied coldly: "But I didn't expect to shoot at the water-cooling cylinder of the machine gun, let alone shoot at the building!"

"It was just an accident!" Qin Chuan replied.

The second lieutenant shook his head, then patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said: "A real sniper is a shooter who can use wisdom. You will become an excellent sniper!"

Then he left on his own.

"I don't know your name yet!" Qin Chuan shouted behind him.

The second lieutenant waved his hand without looking back, indicating that it was not important.

This is indeed unimportant, because this is a battlefield. If you know his name today, you may not exist anymore.

So, what is important is that there was such a person and such an event. As for the rest, knowing or not knowing is not a big difference.

Qin Chuan found his unit more than half an hour later... Baker and others joined the team chasing the German army after the school collapsed.

Seeing Qin Chuan coming up from behind, Da Xiong shouted happily: "Hey, look who's coming?"

"Our great hero!" Werner turned around and hugged Qin Chuan warmly: "You know? You make me feel ashamed!"

"Ashamed?"

"Yes!" Werner said with a smile: "Not long ago, I was showing off that I blew up a building, but now... you blew up a building ten times larger, and you used a rifle!"

Everyone laughed.

"Well done, Frick!" Baker patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder: "But you may not be able to stay in my unit!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but wonder.

“Because…” the baker replied, “Before you came back, the captain appointed you as the leader of the third shift!
