Conquer Europe from the West

Chapter 63: High and low, hit the fool

But McIver had completely lost interest in listening to Ryan.

He looked in horror at the helmet that was blown to the side, and kept twisting his thighs and shoulders, trying to climb down to lower his head.

But perhaps it was because he made too much noise, or perhaps it was because the Farlans had really good eyesight.

In short, before he could slide down a few more centimeters, four or five more bullets whizzed past his head.

"Fuck you!"

McIver didn't even dare to move.

He cursed softly, his eyes looking at Ryan for a while, then at the bullets whizzing past his head, his face as pale as a dead man.

Ryan was so angry at his stupid look, but he was the one being suppressed, so he could only pull out the grenade immediately and throw it towards the approximate location.

The sound of explosions and the shouting of the Farlans rang out immediately, but the red dot on the map was still moving vigorously.

Then Ryan heard several gunshots, and the red dots of the Farlans disappeared completely.

He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Schneider's adjutant who fired the shot.

"Well done, Warrant Officer!"

He gave the young man a thumbs-up and then immediately made a gesture to lie down.

There are more than just those three enemies!
Fortunately, the boy is very smart.

After he and his men shot and killed three Farlanes one by one, he immediately lay down on the ground.

By the time Lebel 1886's gunshots rang out again, he and his men had already rolled behind a tree more than ten meters away.

Ryan raised his eyebrows, thinking that this kid was quite capable, and he had to find an opportunity to snatch it from that bastard Schneider.

Then he heard the 150mm gun fire again.

The sound of a cannon with a distinct crisp sound first reached his ears, and then Ryan saw a very slow cannonball flying across the sky. The cannonball first flew to an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and then exploded again, throwing away two cylinders under the moonlight, releasing the silk parachute hidden inside.

Another two seconds passed.

A bright light appeared from high in the sky, so bright that Ryan almost felt like he was blinded.

The Farlanes all raised their heads at the same time, and many of those who were stabbed cried out.

"Fire!!"

Brinkman's voice came immediately from behind.

Ryan squinted his eyes and saw that more than a dozen groups of people had left the bunker and, taking advantage of their backs to the flares, pulled the trigger almost at the same time.

They are all Kayneth's people.

The sound of Gw.98's gunfire instantly resounded throughout the valley.

Ryan quickly checked the map and found that the previous round of volleys had directly killed dozens of Farlan soldiers.

The Farlan army, which had been densely packed on the hillside and advancing in a formation as if to capture fugitives in the mountains, immediately lost its organization. Those soldiers who were still alive retreated to the rear like flying, while those who were hit in the vitals could only lie on the ground in pain, watching the soldiers of the assault company load the next bullet into the gun chamber.

Two seconds later.

"Fire!" This was Schneider's adjutant Kayneth shouting.

He lay on the ground with his head hidden, just like Brinkman before him.

The people who opened fire were also replaced by a new group, from Kayneth's men to Brinkman's men.

This completely stunned the Farlanes who had not yet had time to evacuate.

And Ryan also confirmed that there was no living Farlane within two hundred meters in front of him.

"One row, three rows, advance!"

He immediately rolled out from behind the fallen tree, a loaded Luger P08 in hand, and sprinted towards the hillside where the Farlanes had been attacked. McIver, on his hands and knees, scrambled to his helmet, picked it up, and put it back on his head, then chased after Ryan.

rear.

The soldiers in the first and third rows named by him also immediately left the bunker, bent over and moved forward until the flares were completely extinguished.

Many of the soldiers rushed in front of Ryan, but after being shot by the Farlans at the foot of the hill, they crawled back obediently.

At this moment, the flare just went out.

Ryan heard Brinkman's voice from behind ordering the second row to advance.

He and McIver waited patiently for several minutes before they saw the shadows of the second row of soldiers moving in the moonlight.

After a while.

A second round of flares lit up.

This time it was the Second Battalion that was advancing.

Ryan subconsciously looked up at a place higher up - the ridge of the Vosges Mountains.

The commander of the second battalion was seen rushing forward like crazy with a dozen engineers carrying large and small bags.

The Farlans at the foot of the mountain spotted them and wanted to shoot, but they couldn't even see their shadows and were counterattacked by the people of the Second Battalion.

The people in the assault company were stunned by their actions.

But Ryan knew very well why the second battalion commander did this.

He closed his eyes and waited for the flares to go out.

Twenty seconds later, the light disappeared. Ryan opened his eyes again and shouted to the group of soldiers closest to him: "First row, advance from below!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the third row stood up and began to climb towards the ridge under the cover of night.

They are not fast, but they are very efficient.

Before the next flare was lit, the soldiers in the third row had already climbed more than forty meters - the fastest ones even set up their guns, waiting for the flare to reveal the position of the Farlans.

And on the side of the Farlans.

Several Farlan officers who knew Imperial language made insidiously gestures to their subordinates, indicating that they should aim at the hillside below.

They understood what Ryan said, but they didn't expect that the order Ryan gave was the opposite of the order given by Kayneth and Brinkman.

This was the strategy Ryan had in mind before setting off.

After all, he had met many Farlan officers who knew the Imperial language before, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Immediately afterwards, another flare lit up.

Almost all the Farlans who received the order stood in the valley between the mountains, looking at the hillside below with anticipation, hoping to find the pointed hats unique to the imperial soldiers.

Then they heard a burst of gunfire coming from the hill.

Ryan saw that a lot of red dots had disappeared. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Third Platoon! Grenades ready! Throw!"

A row of soldiers who were already walking down the slope immediately pulled out their grenades, and after a second of cooling them, they threw them into the hillside where the Farlans were hiding.

More than twenty grenades kicked up a large amount of dirt, and a rock blown away by the explosion even flew over the hillside and hit a soldier's helmet.

But this time, this group of Farlanes were completely wiped out.

Ryan looked at the map and could no longer see the red dots representing the enemy in the Vosges Mountains.

He immediately said: "Clear the enemy, everyone, advance quickly!"
