Chapter 69 Cruise Ships (2)
"Go forward!" Major William did not think much, waved his pistol and gave the order.
This is common sense for joint operations between the intra-tank and Tank. The party with tanks must use the advantages of tank defense and firepower to advance step by step towards the enemy until the tank's tracks crush the enemy's position and defense.
But in fact, this order is wrong. In this case, the reason is that the enemy is not on land but on a cruise ship, and it is also on an operating cruise ship... There is a sea between the tanks and the cruise ships. Although the distance is not far, the tanks can never cross this gap.
Originally this was nothing. There was a gap between the enemy and us that could not be crossed, which formed a firepower confrontation between the two sides, which means that the German army could not pass, and the British army could not pass, so the two sides would have more advantages in firepower.
There is no doubt that the British army has the advantage. They have more than a dozen tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles, and more than 500 veterans with rich combat experience... Not to mention the rest, the "Enfield" rifle in the hands of the British army has the advantage in the rate of fire. All of these combined together are not a problem to suppress a German infantry company.
The problem is that the Germans are located at a high place on the cruise ship and are also in the dark.
Therefore, tank guns with small elevation angles become waste first, and the machine guns on armored vehicles basically lose their function... If the machine gun is to shoot, it must use the human shoulder as a tripod like a plane, but doing so will undoubtedly become an excellent target of the German army, and it can even kill twice with one bomb.
What's worse is that the British army is still in an extremely empty pier, and there are not many buildings to hide around... It should be said that the British army has tanks and armored vehicles to hide, but because the German army is located at a height of the cruise ship and looks down, it is difficult for them to stop the British army behind them.
So the difference was immediately clear, one after another, the British army fell down in the German bullets, and the British army did not even know where the German army was hiding.
Qin Chuan was even more like a fish in water at this time. The windows of the cruise room were all excellent sniper positions... Usually used for viewing, they were all breast-level, just for Qin Chuan to set up a rifle on the windowsill.
Qin Chuan didn't even need to think about it. The next sniper position was the window of another room... He sometimes rushed to this room and shot two times outside the window, and sometimes rushed to that room and shot two times outside the window. Suddenly, he ran back to the original room and shot a few more times.
One after another, the mortars fell under Qin Chuan's gun... At this time, the only thing that might threaten the cruise ship was the mortar. The shells fired by the thing would blow up on the cruise ship and shoot a large number of debris everywhere like shrapnel.
But the British mortars were so obvious on the dock that the British army could not fire a few shells from beginning to end... The British mortars were completely suppressed by the condescending Germans, and there were several corpses next to each mortar, or just one shell could blow away the British and their guns and people.
What's even more terrifying is that the cruise ship will move.
Under Bazer's command, the cruise ship slowly drove upstream for two hundred meters... Although it was only two hundred meters short, it came to the rear of the British army surrounded from the left wing. All the British army hiding behind the tanks were exposed to the German firepower and were still crowded in large numbers.
Next, there is no need to think about it. When a flare goes down, bullets and shells pour downwards. The British soldiers scream and fell down in pieces amid the sound of gunfire and cannons.
Then the cruise ship slowly moved downstream...
Major William watched the big guy swaying in front of him, and immediately guessed that the German army wanted to re-attack the British army on the right this time. He immediately ordered the right side through the walkie-talkie: "Adjust the direction and pay attention to concealing. They came from the sea! Cruise, pay attention to the cruise ship!"
But everything was too late... The cruise ship was going downstream quickly, and there was not much time to prepare for the British army. It was difficult to make a quick and accurate response in such a short time.
Captain Gner, who was in charge of commanding the right wing, received the order and before he could react, he saw a black behemoth on the sea appearing silently in front of him. Then, with a "flying" sound, a flare shining the surroundings as if it were daytime...
The gunshots and cannons rang out quickly, and Captain Gner hurriedly ordered: "Secret! Adjust the direction!"
The British army reacted very quickly and immediately hid on the other side of the tank, but this did not seem to protect their safety. In addition to the fact that the German army could see the British army hiding behind the tank at a higher position, more importantly, the tanks did not know what was going on and were still advancing at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, which kept exposing the British troops that needed cover to be shot and killed one by one.
There were corpses everywhere, bloodstains all over the ground, and British soldiers lying on the ground, holding wounded and screaming, but their screams were not long, because a few bullets would be filled soon to make them completely quiet.
Captain Gner knew that he would sooner or later become one of the corpses, so the cat lowered his body and climbed in front of an armored vehicle... There were originally five British soldiers on the armored vehicle, but poorly they were fired by enemy machine guns. Four of the five obviously had no signs of life. They leaned on the seats in different positions, and the blood on their bodies stained everything around them.
The driver was still alive miraculously, but I was afraid he would not have lived long. He kept spitting blood in his mouth and looked at Captain Gner who opened the car door with a look of help.
Captain Gner hesitated and pulled the driver out of the driver's seat... He needed the armored vehicle to escape, and the driver blocked his way.
The armored vehicle was quickly reactivated, and then rushed into the tank group as soon as it stepped on the accelerator... This was very smart. Captain Gner wanted to escape with the cover of the tank. He seemed to know that a sniper was aiming at him.
Captain Gner guessed correctly, and Qin Chuan happened to notice him.
Qin Chuan even saw him pulling his injured subordinates off the driver's seat and abandoning them without hesitation... Although it is normal to do this to survive on the battlefield, as an officer, he has been a little overdoing to his subordinates.
So Qin Chuan made up his mind not to let the officer go back alive, although he thought it might be more beneficial to the German army to let the officer go back alive.
The officer was very cunning, driving his armored vehicle to keep pace with the tank at the same speed so that he could hide in the dead corner of the tank.
