I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 39 The Eternal Bridge (Part )

In order to show their sincerity, Lin Chen and others took the initiative to hand over their guns.

Even several people's daggers were handed over, and now it was Hank who felt embarrassed.

Lin Chen also generously stated that in extraordinary times, we must remain sufficiently vigilant!
This made Hank feel even more ashamed. The level and vision of this commander really made him feel ashamed of himself. Wasn't it unnecessary for him to send someone to verify it?

In order to make up for his "rudeness", he asked the soldiers to bring some military canned food, as well as rare foods such as bread and sausages, and even sent hot water, so that they could relax properly and find the feeling of "going home".

Lin Chen and others naturally accepted everyone who came and ate their fill before they could start working.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they immediately divided up the tasks.

Lin Chen's idea was very clear. He controlled the bridgehead on this side and blocked the bridge with machine guns. He would use 88mm anti-aircraft guns to directly bombard the bridge. Then he would wait for an opportunity to retreat!

At this moment, except for a few sentries on the bridgehead, all other German troops had fallen asleep. After all, after days of hard fighting, even the elite 6th Armored Division could not hold on.

Lin Chen was the first to come out of the tent. He and Hanta worked together and quietly approached the two guards outside the tent.

Maybe they thought Lin Chen and the others were their own people, so they didn't take the guards seriously at all. When Lin Chen and the others came out, the two of them were sleeping soundly with their backs leaning against each other.

Sometimes, dying in your sleep is not necessarily a bad thing in this cruel war.

After killing the guard and obtaining two rifles, the four men split up and aimed to seize the two machine guns and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, while also dealing with the German officers and soldiers in the tent.

Lin Chen and the messenger were very successful in their sneak attack on the first machine gun, but when the other group was approaching, the young Soviet soldier accidentally touched a can box left on the ground by the enemy, and the sound immediately alerted the German soldiers.

As a last resort, Lin Chen could only shoot to help them, but this caused the anti-aircraft guns and the German troops in the tents to react quickly.

"Hanta, tent!" he shouted loudly, because the heavy machine guns could not shoot at the anti-aircraft guns. Once the anti-aircraft guns were destroyed, all their efforts would be in vain.

Lin Chen's shooting skills were extremely sharp. Even with an ordinary 98K rifle, he still hit the target with every bullet and quickly eliminated the gunner near the German anti-aircraft gun.

Then he began to fumble with how to use this anti-aircraft gun. Since it was his first time using it, he was a little uncomfortable with it and needed some time to learn and master it.

At this time, with the help of the young Soviet soldier, Hanta had already equipped the machine gun with ammunition belts, and the MG34 machine gun roared violently.

A large number of German soldiers who rushed out of the tents and those who did not were knocked down in an instant.

At this moment, the machine guns on the other side finally reacted and began firing at this side of the bridge.

Lin Chen cleverly turned off the lights at the bridge head, and Hanta and others began to understand what he meant. After a few shots, this end of the bridge was completely black, making the German machine guns lose their target.

If you can only rely on the shooter's feeling, the effect will undoubtedly be poor, and it will expose your own position.

At this time, Lin Chen finally figured out how to use this cannon. After asking the messenger to reload the bullets, he fired quickly.

With just one shot, a machine gun position on the opposite side was blown to pieces along with the people and guns.

"Los! Los! Los!" The second lieutenant officer temporarily saved his life because he went to live opposite in the middle of the night. After hearing the gunshots in his sleep, he initially thought it was a guerrilla attack. He even thought about protecting the lieutenant.

But later he found out that it was actually him who started the fight on this side of the bridge, and no matter how stupid he was, he realized that he had been tricked. So he arranged fire suppression while ordering his men to charge towards this side along the bridge.

Hanta's machine gun shooting skills were very average, and he was suppressed by the enemy's firepower. The young Soviet soldier following him had already fallen to the ground.

However, Lin Chen's anti-aircraft guns did not fire the second shot.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Hank waved his MP40 submachine gun desperately and called on his subordinates to charge forward.

The situation is extremely critical!
It turned out that the second shell from Lin Chen's side misfired. In the dark night, the dud shell could not be ejected for a while, which led to the enemy's brutality.

He groped quickly in the dark night, and after eliminating the difficulties, he quickly fired the second shot, and the machine gun position on the opposite side was finally completely eliminated.

Without the threat of the machine gun, Hanta began to stick his head out and directed intensive firepower at Lieutenant Hank and others.

"Oh no! They are going to use anti-aircraft guns to blow up the bridge!" Hank was so anxious just now that he lost his mind, but now he finally reacted. If he used this powerful anti-aircraft gun to bombard the bridge repeatedly, it would most likely be destroyed, so the top priority now is to save time!
Hank used several submachine guns to fire at Hanta's machine gun, while the others quickly rushed towards the anti-aircraft artillery position.

As the distance was very close, Lin Chen had no way to operate the anti-aircraft gun. At the critical moment, he actually touched a box of grenades. Obviously, these were prepared by the defenders of the original anti-aircraft gun position to deal with emergencies.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen and his friends got the advantage now.

After opening the back cover of the grenade, Lin Chen pulled the string and counted to three seconds. Then he hid in the fortifications and threw two grenades directly in the direction where Hank and others were rushing towards.

This M1924 individual hand grenade, finalized in 24, was called "high-explosive grenade" by Allied soldiers during World War II because of its reasonable design and great power.

At this moment, Hank and others were really complaining.
As the saying goes, "He who strikes first is the strongest, and he who strikes last will suffer." Because his men dropped their bombs a little bit late, they were blown to pieces.

The messenger followed suit and threw bombs outside frantically.

Lin Chen seized the opportunity and desperately rotated the muzzle, slowly pointing it at the bridge.

"Hurry up and shoot at the anti-aircraft guns, for the empire!" Hank was shocked when he saw this. If he didn't stop him now, when would he stop him?

Lin Chen suddenly felt the danger coming. Dense bullets hit the anti-aircraft gun, making a clanging sound.

"Damn, don't get hurt." He was just cursing the German lieutenant from yesterday evening. The two sides had completely different troop deployments. The other side might have deployed almost half a company of troops to defend against the Soviet sneak attack.

Fortunately, Hanta successfully dealt with the submachine gunners who were shooting at him, and fired again.

The pressure here suddenly dropped, and Lin Chen quickly checked the condition of the anti-aircraft guns. Fortunately, there was nothing serious.

The hasty firing missed the bridge pier, but created a large hole in the bridge deck.

"Cannonballs!" Lin Chen shouted!
Hank was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. If the bridge was really blown up, he would definitely be executed.

But just when he was unable to raise his head due to the suppression of Hanta's machine gun fire, bright lights appeared on the road to the south.

"Haha, the reinforcements from the regiment have arrived!" Hank was overjoyed.
