Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 23 The Battle of Waves ([-])
The half-track continued toward Poznań.

The tanks in front are charging continuously.

As multiple artillery shells fell, two Panzer II tanks and one Panzer III tank were damaged.

Everyone immediately opened the car doors, quickly got out of the car, and dispersed with weapons in hand, ready to fight.

Polish soldiers hiding in the grass began a counterattack.

Hiss!Hiss!
Da da da!Da da da!
Bang bang bang!Bang bang bang!
The vehicle-mounted MG34 general-purpose machine gun fired, the MP38 submachine gun fired, and the Mauser 98K fired.

It directly caused a lot of casualties to the charging Polish army.

However, the opponent is not just charging stupidly, its Maxim heavy machine gun is also firing continuously.

One of them is the German MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun from the First World War.

Dense bullets continued to shuttle in front of both sides.

It just depends on which unlucky guy gets shot first and falls down.

The Germans relied on half-track armored vehicles for cover.

At the same time, the position of soldiers is also particular.

On the other hand, the Polish army still has some tactical styles from the First World War.

This is obviously the rhythm of being served food.

The dense bullets flew away like raindrops.

A large number of Polish soldiers were knocked down and fell on the grass wailing in pain.

But no one will give you any sympathy on the battlefield.

"The anti-tank gun in front was hidden deep enough and destroyed several of our tanks in a row. Find an opportunity and lead someone to steal it."

Lieutenant Ratzel came to William's side and said.

Unless the second lieutenant is leading the entire company, William is the only strong man left.

He has commanding skills, is calm, and has all kinds of clever ideas.

This is something that others do not have. Just like the monitors of each class, they only have some basic skills.

But if it expands, it will be a bit of a rush to get on the shelves.

Take this group of people as an example, it has only been two days since they actually entered the battlefield.

And William seemed to have been walking on the battlefield for many years.

If you hadn't looked at his young and handsome face, you would have doubted whether he had participated in the First World War.

So now this important task is handed over to William. At the same time, sending too many soldiers will easily be discovered and blocked and unable to move forward.

It is better for a small number of people to pass quietly.

"Give me the mortar! Let Gotze Ozil and the others go with me with the mortar. In addition, Ram, Royce, and Chrollo will also come with me."

William thought for a while and immediately spoke.

"it is good!"

Lieutenant Ratzel agreed immediately without hesitation.

Then the five people gathered behind William and waited for orders.

"Follow closely, we'll go around from that way."

William greeted the brothers.

Then everyone began to crawl into the grass.

There was a fierce exchange of fire on the front battlefield, and no one noticed that the six people were squirming.

As for why I brought these guys with me, it was because they were all brothers from my own team and I met them in the recruit camp before.

Promotion requires accumulation of military merit.

Ram has accumulated a lot of military exploits following William.

After this time he can get an Iron Cross Second Class.

Don't underestimate these things. At some point, these represent a privileged existence.

For example, if you wear the Iron Cross First Class, people will admire you when they look at you. After all, the Iron Cross First Class is only awarded to those who have made great contributions.

At the same time, you must obtain the Iron Cross Second Class to be eligible to advance to the Iron Cross First Class.

If you get the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross at a young age, you will have a bright future.

No one wants to be polite to you.

Therefore, it is also a guarantee to lead the brothers to perform meritorious service and be promoted early.It's like becoming a platoon leader or something like that. At least you don't have to fight at the front like the big soldiers.

Everyone crawled in the grass and kept moving forward, looking for the opponent's anti-tank gun.

It seems that this anti-tank gun is very well protected.

William remembered that if half of the gun body was put into the ground, only the barrel was left outside, and the height of the barrel was almost parallel to the grass on the ground.

It's really hard to find where the other party is from this long distance.

Da da da!Da da da!
We were almost approaching the heavy machine gun position. It would be really tragic if it caught a few of us.

"Give me the Ozil mortar!"

William turned his head and looked behind him and greeted softly.

Ozil immediately untied himself.

Clolo then pulled the mortar off Ozil's back.

Then he carefully crept forward and handed the mortar to William.

After getting the mortar, William couldn't help but complain.

A 50mm mortar weighs more than ten kilograms.

It's almost as good as the American 60mm mortar.

The American 60mm mortar is part of the company's support firepower.

As a result, the weight of the German [-]mm mortars was far higher than that of their counterparts, and some even doubled several times.

William opened the mortar support bracket, and the base rested directly on his kettle.

After receiving a 50mm mortar shell, I looked at the heavy machine gun position about 130 meters ahead.

Boom!
A dull sound came from the barrel.

It exploded directly at a distance of about 130 meters.

The two machine gunners were killed directly on the spot.

The Polish soldiers on the side were also very shocked. They did not expect that the heavy machine gun position was destroyed so accurately.

However, the smoke from the mortars was also seen by Polish soldiers.

"The Germans are there!"

With a loud shout, bullets came towards William.

William simply gave up the mortar and turned around quickly to avoid the bullets.

Because there was no smoke coming from the grass, plus it was blown up.

All Polish soldiers' bullets were fired in that direction first.

After William dodged, he immediately picked up the MP38 submachine gun and started shooting.

Da da da!Da da da!
The two shuttles fired directly, killing two Polish soldiers.

"Push forward! Quick!"

While firing, William called to the brothers behind him.

Chrollo and Ramroys immediately raised their guns and started shooting.

Ozil and Gotze behind them immediately adjusted their mortars for shelling.

Boom!Boom!
Two consecutive 50mm mortars exploded directly on the opposite side.

Taking advantage of the explosion's dust to obscure the opponent's sight.

William immediately ran forward, swung back the gun belt hanging around his neck, and threw the submachine gun on his back.

At the same time, he quickly took out the M24 wooden handle grenade from the cloth bag hanging on his armed belt, quickly unscrewed the cap and threw it out.

Throw it directly in from a distance of 30 meters.

jump!
After a loud noise, William had already rushed to the edge of the trench.

He quickly pulled out the pistol in the holster on his leg and entered the skirmisher line. He drew the gun directly and started shooting, killing three Polish soldiers in succession.

After killing three people, the following brothers quickly jumped into the skirmish line.

"William, are we running too far ahead?"

Looking at the surrounding environment, and then at the main force more than 200 meters away, he asked worriedly.

William slapped the opponent's helmet directly and glared.
