Chapter 552 Can't Rush Anymore (Plus 13)
The French battalion commander held a machine gun and drove loudly towards his subordinates. Under his feet, he stepped on the bloody corpses. Now, his subordinates have lost dozens of people.
However, there is no choice but to rush forward! Only by rushing forward without fear of death can there be a way to survive!
At the same time, he also knows that the real threat has not yet come. The opponent's machine guns have never been fired. They must wait until his own side is close before shooting. The opponent's firepower is quite intensive. Maybe, his entire battalion will fell in front of the machine gun position.
However, there is no choice!
He had been on the battlefield of Verdun, so to him, all of this seemed to be a matter of course. He aimed his machine gun at the back of his men, and as long as any of them dared to retreat, they would shoot immediately!
If you run slowly, be careful!
In this case, his subordinates were the fastest runners. After stepping on a few landmines, they had already crossed the minefield! Even, they passed by the grape rack with the hostages tied, and the distance from the German machine gun position was probably less than 200 meters, or even only about 100 meters.
Rush, rush up, as long as the first person rushes in, there is hope, even if his troops are killed, it can provide opportunities for the people behind, and it is worth it.
At this time, his heart was as hard as steel.
However, at this moment, a flying bullet accurately hit his chest. Under the impact of the bullet, he fell backwards, and blood gurgled from his chest. The other party accurately hit his heart.
"The battalion commander is dead!" a soldier shouted.
Hearing this voice, all the people turned back in an instant, and when they saw the battalion commander fall down, they immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
It's good to be alive!
The battalion commander is dead, and there are no people who forced them to charge forward. Now, they can finally stop sending them to death. Just now, they were about to be scared out of their minds, so they had to bite the bullet and go forward.
But can you step back immediately?
After all, behind them, there is the supervising team, if they retreat like this, they will be shot by the supervising team!
"Chi chi..." At this moment, a sound similar to a chainsaw suddenly came from the German position in front. It was the sound of the German MG34 light machine gun firing!
With the sound, in an instant, the French soldiers in front collapsed screaming.
The ones in the back, don't hesitate anymore, run back quickly!
"Brave soldiers, charge forward!" Here, a voice shouted in the supervising team.
"Fuck, rushing up is to die, think we are stupid?"
"Da da da." Then, the machine gun sounded in the supervising team here, and a few people who ran backward fell to the ground. They couldn't rest their eyes. They didn't die under the guns of the Germans, but at their own hands!
The French soldiers in the middle were in a dilemma. Some soldiers threw away their guns, sat on the ground, and cried, but then he was swept away by the bullets of the machine guns.
Under the machine guns of the supervising team, they had no choice but to move forward. They had to return to the battlefield.
"Go, lie on the side." A bloody French soldier pushed the soldier who was pretending to be dead on him.
He has been lying here for 20 minutes. Just before the mine exploded, he fell down and was lying there all the time. As a result, another person who pretended to be dead lay on top of him, which made him very uncomfortable.
Is this land so good? It happens to be a canal, and the bullets on both sides can't hit it. Wouldn't you stay away from me?
They will pretend to be dead, they are all old fritters.
However, after all, there are a few people who pretend to be dead. Most of them are really dead. When the flying bullet hits the body, the life will disappear quickly, and the fresh body will turn into a cold corpse.
Some were shot by the Germans, some were shot by the supervising team, and the military law was ruthless.
"General, we can't let the soldiers rush anymore, our people are almost exhausted." Behind the machine gun position, Pierre, the division commander of the reserve infantry division, shouted to Darlan.
The machine guns on the front line were loud, some here and there, and the French infantrymen caught by the machine guns were simply cornered.
The teacher couldn't bear it any longer and pleaded with Darlan.
It's not like this at all. After the end of the First World War, it has been summed up. Uncovered infantry, charging against machine guns, is no different from courting death. The British and French coalition forces once killed tens of thousands in one day. The result of a charge against a machine gun.
Darlan's eyes were still firm: "No, we have to wait. They are airborne troops and can't carry much supplies."
Darlan's words made Pierre, the commander of the infantry division, feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. This damn guy actually wanted to use his soldier's life to consume the opponent's bullets!
"No, General, you can't do this!" he shouted loudly: "The life of each of our soldiers is precious, and you must not do such a meaningless thing! You are committing the most serious crime. mistake!"
"No, their sacrifices are meaningful. In that manor, there are thousands of tons of gold, which are related to the fate of our France. They sacrificed for the future of our France!"
Darlan is also anxious. Now, if it is useless to arrange the supervisory team, he has no idea how to do it. After all, he was born in the navy and is not quite skilled in combat on land.
"General, I know there is gold in it, but it's pointless for us to do it now." Pierre said: "We need to wait until the other two divisions come over, they have a certain number of tanks, we need to use tanks to fight the front line, We also need to strike at night so we can take it down."
If it cannot be conquered during the day, then at night, it is best to use tanks to deal with machine gun positions. These are the basic methods of the army commanding operations.
wait till night? There are still several hours left, and now Darlan doesn't want to delay at all, there are so many dreams in the night.
"Report, general, some soldiers, and our supervising team have started!" a subordinate reported.
Suddenly, Darlan was stunned.
There are German machine guns in front of them, and behind them are their own supervisors. At such a time, what should the French soldiers do in the middle?
If they want to live, in addition to pretending to be dead, they can also take action against the supervising team. After all, there are few people in the supervising team!
Although the machine gun is powerful, as long as one shoots accurately and kills the machine gunner, they can run back!
"It makes me sick!" Pierre said, pulling out his pistol, "I'll go and see."
When he heard the news of the mutiny, Darlan's mind went blank for a while, while Pierre remained calm, he was able to subdue his group of men.
