Chapter 246 Crossing the River
The Germans occupied the eastern side of the river, and no sniper rifles were fired.

As a result, several soldiers of the Allied Army accelerated their pace of movement towards the river.

On the other side of the river, there were only sporadic gunshots on the west side, while the east side was still silent.

"Snapped!"

Yan Zhi fired a shot across the river, and his M1903 spit out red flames, which were very conspicuous in the faint fog.

After Yan Zhi fired the shot, he didn't seem to dodge. His helmet was still on the window, and the M1903 was still on the window.

Under the window, Yan Zhi held a tree stick in his hand, put his helmet on it, and swung it twice in the window.

Across the river to the east, the German positions remained silent.

Yan Zhi retracted his hand, put his helmet back, and reached out to retrieve the M1903 sniper rifle. After coming down from the current building, he appeared in the window of another small building ten seconds later. The sound rang, and then his helmet remained on the window, as did the sniper rifle.

The east side across the river was still silent.

"on!"

Yan Zhi whispered to Zhao Fugui downstairs.

"Cack, cluck, cluck!"

Downstairs, Zhao Fugui clicked his tongue, imitating the two long and three short sounds of a frog.

"Cuckoo, croak!"

Then, on the bank of the river, there were three short and two long frogs responding.

Then a dozen Allied soldiers stood up slowly from the ground, including those soldiers who were shot by German snipers.

More than a dozen soldiers took a few steps forward strangely, but there was still no movement on the other side of the river.

At this time, the dozens of soldiers fell down one after another, and then another dozen soldiers stood up. They quickly took out the wine bottle from their bodies, took a few sips from the sky, put the bottle on the ground, took off all their clothes and Shoes, held on top of the rifle, walked towards the river.

After the dozens of soldiers took off their clothes, their bodies seemed to become even darker, almost merging with the night.

On the ground after they left, lay a dozen straw figures.

It turned out that the soldiers who just appeared from the room were just scarecrows wearing Allied uniforms and steel helmets. With their heads lowered and their bodies low, under the cover of mist and night, they managed to hide from the opponent's snipers. Attract snipers to shoot.

And those who control these scarecrows are soldiers from the independent company. They blackened their bodies and faces with soot, and using the cover of fog and night on the ground, they held the scarecrows in military uniforms and helmets and crawled forward on the ground to detect each other. The firepower of the sniper was wiped out one by one by Officer Yan.

On the west side of the river on the opposite bank, snipers from both sides still fired cold shots at each other, breaking the silent night from time to time.

A dozen soldiers from the Independent Company launched into the water and began to cross the river.

On the bank, more than a dozen machine guns were set up and aimed at the other side of the river. Once the Germans appeared, more than a dozen machine guns would shoot violently to cover the soldiers crossing the river.

At this time, the soldiers crossing the river were extremely vulnerable. If there were still snipers on the other side, these dozens of soldiers would undoubtedly be severely injured.

In such a cold winter, a thin layer of ice formed in this small river. If the soldiers were shot, they could not go to the bottom of the water, because in such a cold winter night, they went to the bottom of the water to avoid bullets. It is almost courting death, even if it is not hit by bullets, it will freeze to death at the bottom of the water, and it will never float up again.

More than a dozen soldiers from the independent company crossed the river safely, and the black charcoal on their bodies was washed clean by the river water.

After crossing the river, a dozen soldiers did not put on their clothes immediately, but quickly found a place overgrown with thorns to hide, and guarded the soldiers who were about to cross the river behind, and then put on their clothes tremblingly.

Seeing that more than a dozen soldiers of the Independent Company crossed the river smoothly and established a defensive and cover position on the opposite bank, the soldiers of the Independent Company and E Company who had already taken off their clothes and waited in the room lined up in a long line, at Winters Under the leadership of the leader, they filed out of the house. Everyone lowered their bodies to the lowest level. When they reached the river, they picked up a dozen or so wine bottles left by the previous dozen or so. , one by one, quickly and almost silently crossed towards the other side of the river.

After these soldiers crossed the river, they did not put on their clothes immediately, but immediately found a hiding place, and while putting on their clothes, they guarded the troops crossing the river behind.

At this moment, Yan Zhi has been standing upright on a building, watching the other side of the river with lightning eyes, holding an M1903 sniper rifle in his hand, as long as there are Germans appearing on the other side of the river, he will immediately kill the Germans who appear first.He was sure that he could kill 20 of the opponent's men within 20 seconds and protect the safety of the brothers crossing the river.

In less than 5 minutes, more than 100 soldiers all successfully crossed the river, and then under the leadership of Winters, they found a bunker near the opposite river bank and built a simple defensive position.

In the end, Yan Zhi, Xu Zheyou, and Zhao Fugui successfully crossed the river together.

On the river bank after Yan Zhi and the others crossed the river, there were more than a dozen "Allied soldiers" lying on the river beach in disorder, using them to confuse the German army's investigation.

These scarecrows were wearing military uniforms and helmets, lying on the bank of the river. If they hadn't walked in front of them, no one would have been able to tell that the "allies soldiers" who had died for a long time on the riverbank of corpses were actually scarecrows.

After all the Allied soldiers had crossed the river, they scattered around the houses on the other side of the river.

There are no Germans in these rooms near the river bank. The surroundings of these rooms are currently safe. Allied soldiers quietly entered these rooms. Everyone sat in the room holding a gun, and they were not allowed to speak, move, or smoke.

According to Yan Zhi's instructions, several soldiers of the independent company found the small building where the German snipers who were killed by Yan Zhi just now were hiding, dragged the corpses of the German devils aside and hid them, and then took their Mauser 98k Sniper rifles, decently shot at the scarecrows on the opposite bank from time to time, or fired at the room where no one was in, so as to deceive the German army and make the German army think that everything was normal in their eastern position.

The Allied soldiers staying on the other side of the river also had a tacit understanding, and played a game of tacit understanding with their own people on the other side of the river. The two sides shot into the open space from time to time to prevent the Germans from becoming suspicious.

After the soldiers settled down, Yan Zhi, Winters, Zhao Fugui, and Li Dazui took advantage of the night and the gradually thickening fog to cover the hinterland of the German army.

Colonel Xinke assigned the independent company and E company the task of touching down several commanding heights in the forward positions of the German army.

However, Yan Zhi and Winters believe that it is inappropriate to take down several high points in the forward positions of the German army at this time, because these commanding heights will always be connected with the German division headquarters. In half an hour, the independent company will be exposed.

You know, there is a reorganized division of the German army deployed on the river bank. Although after fierce fighting, there are only 3000 people left in this reorganized division, but if they find the combined number of the independent company and E company People, they will immediately send heavy weapons to kill them.

Will be outside, the king's life will not be affected.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and commanders should not stick to one pattern, but should use strategies and tactics flexibly.

Therefore, after discussing with Winters, Yan Zhi and Winters decided that instead of capturing the commanding heights of these forward positions of the German army for the time being, they should first find the location of the division headquarters of the German army. Unable to hide their ears, they violently attacked the German division headquarters, and cooperated with the frontal attack of the Allied forces to quickly disintegrate the enemy from the inside.
