Alfred knew how deadly street fighting could be. His experience on the Russian front had taught him lessons, and now he was leading some battle-hardened young veterans to the north end of the bridge.

The distance is getting closer and closer, 700 yards... 600 yards... 500 yards...

When we were less than 200 yards away from the British position, we could already vaguely see the entrance to the huge bridge.

However, violent machine gun fire suddenly sounded, and at the same time, accompanied by the roar of howitzers, many teams were stagnant behind the houses, suppressed and unable to move.

"Sir, I saw German soldiers, do I need to shoot now?" Henry half-knelt by the window sill and asked Lu Li for instructions.

"Fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dull sound of gunfire rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Alfred, who was hiding behind a tree, discovered that the soldier beside him had fallen, and there was a neat little hole in his forehead.

"Smoke bombs!" He shouted to his own artillery behind him, regardless of hiding.

Unfortunately, before the smoke bomb was released, another soldier was shot, and blood spurted out from his neck. Even if he covered the wound with his hand to stop more blood from gushing out, there was still nothing he could do.

"Paterson!" Alfred turned his head, looked at the bushes next to him and shouted, "Don't move, please."

In Lu Li's sight, the German soldier was lying on the ground struggling. It was obvious that the shot just missed and did not kill him directly.

"Sir, do you need me to refill your gun?"

After saying that, Henry put his hand on the trigger. His rifle was equipped with a triple scope, which could shoot enemies more efficiently. However, he was still surprised by Lu Li's marksmanship and eyesight, which was as sharp as an eagle.

"No need." Lu Li raised his gun, ready to end the German soldier's pain.

At this moment, Paterson felt that his breathing was getting tighter and tighter. He gave up the struggle, reached into his pocket with trembling hands, took out a photo, lifted it up with effort, and pointed in the direction of Alfred: "Give...give me...

…wife."

It was taken during the battle on the Eastern Front. Every soldier in this class has one.

"No, no, Paterson!" Alfred collapsed a little. Before the smoke bomb took effect, he did not dare to move. He could only plead: "Don't let me do this, lie back behind the bunker, I will save you."

you……"

boom!

A bullet hit the middle of the eyebrow, and blood spattered across the young sergeant's face. He was stunned.

Lu Li helped the German soldier end his suffering, but made Alfred fall into guilt and regret.

Not far away, smoke began to spread in all directions, isolating the positions of both sides.

As a result, the sniper lost his target. Lu Li and Henry put away their guns and drank hot tea in silence, waiting for the German squad to approach.

At the same time, a German lieutenant asked for someone to volunteer to cross the smoke blockade and throw demolition charges into the house where the fire was the most intense.

Hearing this, Alfred, who was bent on revenge, didn't even think about it, just picked up the explosive bag and rushed over.

He ran along the hedge and then stopped behind a tree next to the red-roofed house.

In fact, Captain McKay's two howitzers were placed here, and soldiers launched attacks through the windows with the glass removed.

"Damn Brits!"

With an angry curse, Alfred threw the explosive in, then quickly ran to his soldiers without looking back, and lay down in the rubble waiting for the explosion.

A few seconds later, an eardrum-piercing roar came from behind. At the same time, the water in the tea vat began to slosh. Lu Li stood up silently. He knew that the Germans were about to launch an attack.

This is indeed the case.

"Operation, pay attention to the snipers hiding in that school, they are all walking close to the bunker!"

With a sullen face, Alfred led the remaining seven soldiers to charge. Behind him were three other troops performing tasks. In terms of numbers, they definitely far exceeded Lu Li and others who were guarding the east side of the bridge.

Soon the group was discovered by the alert big man Miller, who shouted downstairs: "Guys, the Germans are coming!"

Almost at the same time, a fierce firefight broke out outside the building. Captain McKay, who had been squatting for a long time, pulled the trigger and shot at the black shadow.

The light of the fire, the splashing debris from the brick wall, and the penetrating gunfire frightened Miss Juliana. She originally wanted to return to the teaching building and ask Captain McKay if she needed help.

However, after seeing this scene, he quickly ran back to the school building and locked the door.

"Munch, put your gun on the window sill and support the brothers outside."

As he spoke, Lu Li raised his submachine gun and fired at a black figure hiding in the trees.

Before he died, the German soldier didn't even understand where he was exposed.

However, the balance of victory did not tilt. Alfred's soldiers quickly stabilized their position. They rolled and ran quickly, divided into three tactical groups, and hid behind bunkers to counterattack.

Pick up the tab—wait—throw—

Suddenly, the grenade exploded in front of the window sill where Monk had placed his machine gun, filling the air with choking smoke and cement blocks.

dying……

This was the last thought of Private Francis Monk, but after a while, he found that he could still think and feel.

"You owe me another life."

The voice came from the side.

The moment the enemy pulled the safety ring of the grenade, Lu Li noticed it and quickly dragged the guy away.

Mengke nodded numbly, but other than that, he showed no other expression, as if he was frightened.

"These people are very experienced." Henry pulled out his self-defense pistol and stared at the entrance of the corridor.

The timing of throwing the grenade just now was absolutely impeccable. It detonated the moment it hit the target, giving Monk no time to react at all...

Thinking of this, Henry glanced at Lu Li. That kind of speed was definitely not something humans could achieve. As a sniper, he thought he had good eyesight, but he was unable to capture the officer's figure.

"Jesus bless, Amen."

At this time, Lu Li drew the sign of the cross, symbolizing the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

However, when he saw his fingers, Henry pursed his lips with difficulty: "Sir, you... what on earth are you."

White bone spur-like substances replaced the nails, which were not only sharp, but also had a dull luster that metal did not have.

Even though Lu Li didn't look much different from ordinary people at the moment, based on this alone, Henry had concluded that this officer had become something beyond human cognition.

"Messenger of Satan..."

Munch squatted in the corner and muttered to himself. After he had just recovered, he also noticed Lu Li's strangeness, and instantly thought of this morning——
