Chapter 0387: The duel between senior and junior (Part 2)
Henry's condition was not bad, but it was not good that the bullet hit his leg, breaking the bone of his left calf, and the entire left calf was in a strange front fold.
"It seems that you are not lucky, I hope you won't become a cripple." Zheng Yingqi checked Henry's injury and said something unscrupulous, but Henry didn't care, but instead endured the pain:
"You're an idiot! You should leave it alone."
"I'm not a British man." Zheng Yingqi took out the bandage and said casually. This strong sense of confidence in the rain of bullets made Henry's nervous heart inexplicably relax, but then a mortar shell was bandaged on the slope of the hill. The flying soil made Henry realize the current situation again. He asked:
"what to do?"
What should I do? Can you run to the opposite position with such a burden like me?
"Cold." Zheng Yingqi said these two words in Chinese, and Henry was confused when he heard it. He couldn't figure out what the pronunciation of this strange phrase meant. He was thinking about it, but Zheng Yingqi had already thrown him aside. Two bayonets were wrapped in bandages to serve as fixtures. It was a very traditional and practical field first aid method.
"The situation is a bit bad. The Germans occupied the machine gun position just now." Zheng Yingqi poked out half of his head and observed the battlefield. The Germans re-controlled the machine gun position and cut off the last distance between him and Henry from retreating to the receiving point. Even Zheng Yingqi himself had no confidence to run dozens of meters with the roar of MG42, especially under his nose.
"I remember the response point was Company A, 1st Battalion," Henry endured the pain and looked at the response point from the other side, saying, "Jacob, do you think they will save us?"
"It should... be..." Zheng Yingqi said uncertainly, but he was already thinking about other ways in his heart. It was never his style to rely on rescue. He was more accustomed to capturing the hope of living by himself.
...
"Our people were left there!" Bain shouted excitedly at the platoon leader of Company A: "Sir, we are Company E, save them!"
The platoon leader of Company A nodded. Since he was his own, he had to rescue him. He immediately arranged troops. A four-man assault team rushed forward under the cover of firepower, trying to knock out the roaring German machine gun. However, the Germans strengthened the firepower configuration of the machine gun position, and at least three more rifles joined the support sequence. The four-man assault team lost one person and retreated in a mess.
"Sir, the Germans used mortars! We can't rush over! If we want to knock out there, we must cover fire!" The retreating sergeant told the platoon leader about the situation. The platoon leader immediately called on the mortar platoon that was allocated this time, hoping that the mortar could provide his assault team to support him and rescue the two people trapped behind the "grave bag".
"Stand up! Jacob, Henry, you must hold on!" Bain took a anxious step.
But God did not hear Bain's prayer, but instead a desperate news came to the German army to support it, at least two companies.
"Two companies?" After hearing the scout's report, the company commander A couldn't help but curse: "Damn German guy, are you crazy?"
"Sir, what should we do?"
"What should I do? What else can I do? Withdraw!" Company Commander A gritted his teeth and said, this is the other side of the river, the territory of the Germans. Now the Germans can come to two companies. If they continue to survive, they may have a few companies. They only have one company. The British went to the E company's connection point. Do they have to fight the Germans here?
The subordinates hesitated: "But, we have two people trapped behind a small hill bag on the far left of the third row. They were sent by the E Company to connect with the British."
"Tell the 3rd row that I can give them five minutes at most. If you can't get someone back in five minutes, you must retreat!"
The 3rd Platoon made the last attempt, but the Germans had a very strong firepower. Their assault team had lost one person before. This time the attack was just a slaughter. In three minutes, he only climbed out more than ten meters, and then shot against the Germans across more than 100 meters, shouting that the enemy's firepower was too strong.
"Bitches are raised!"
Seeing this, Bain cursed. The people from Company A were unwilling to fight to the death because they were worried about their losses. But he was from Company E, Jacob and Bain's comrades, so how could he watch these bastards? He rushed out with a gun and tried to open the way for these A-company bastards, but as soon as he jumped out of the trench, he was hit by a bullet that flew from somewhere and fell straight to the ground.
The medical soldiers from Company A rushed out at risk and dragged Bain back to the position.
The injured Bain begged to the medical staff: "Save them! Save them..."
"Man, listen, your injury is very serious. Now listen to me, hold the wound, just like that..." The medical soldier ignored Bain's plea, took off Bain's clothes from the wound, and directed Bain in a warm voice, and then started bandaging. Then he said: "The bullet is still in your body, you must go to the back for surgery. Listen, don't be too nervous now..."
"Brother! Save them! Tell your platoon leader, that is Jacob, the hero of our E Company, and he and the president's Medal of Honor promised by the President, who brought the British through the German positions." Bain said madly, but the medical soldiers called out a few soldiers loudly, and after Bain injected morphine into Bain, he signaled to carry the person away.
The medical nurse waited until Bain was still yelling and was carried away, and then whispered: "It's not that we won't save them, but that we have no time."
The assault team responsible for attacking the machine gun position retreated. After seeing the medical staff, one of them said: "An Rui, go quickly!"
"How are they?" the medical soldier asked in a low voice.
"There is no other way. We cannot break through the blockade of German machine guns and cannot save people at all," the sergeant said helplessly: "They can only surrender to the Germans."
Company A withdrew and took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield before the German reinforcements arrived. The Germans tried to pursue, but were intercepted by artillery fire. They could only watch the Americans evacuate from under their noses using interactive tactics.
...
The German reinforcements arrived and saw clearly at Zheng Yingqi's position. With the arrival of German reinforcements, the retreat of Company A had become a foregone conclusion and they were left here.
"Jacob, go quickly!" Henry also realized the situation and urged urgently: "It will be too late if you don't leave! Don't worry about me, the Germans will not do anything to me."
Zheng Yingqi ignored Henry's urging and observed Company A, which was the contact point. Company A, realized that the German reinforcements had already contracted and was one step away from evacuation. However, the friendly troops who could handle them were suppressed by MG42 in front of the position and could not move.
【Can't count on it anymore…】
Zheng Yingqi sighed silently. It was impossible for him to save them at the cost of fighting to harm a few people.
I can only run to the other end.
After he made the decision, he did not hesitate to execute it. In Henry's shock, he carried Henry on his back and thought to run wildly on his left and leave here first.
Zheng Yingqi, who was carrying a man, ran five or six meters away, and was noticed by the German army. The flames chased him from behind, but he failed to hit Zheng Yingqi with two shots. Instead, it made him look like he was sending off Zheng Yingqi. Seeing this, a German non-commissioned officer immediately shouted: "Come on, chase me!"
The four Germans rushed out of the position and quickly chased the figures that disappeared in the woods. Their positions were also theirs, so these Germans were fearless when they pursued them.
Henry kept looking behind and saw several Germans chasing him, he said anxiously: "Jacob, let me down, the Germans are chasing you, you can't take me away!"
"Shut up!" Zheng Yingqi shouted softly, ran for more than a hundred meters, put Henry on the ground, made a "shhh" gesture at Henry, and then turned back with a rifle. Henry gasped, praying that Zheng Yingqi could quickly deal with the Germans who were catching up with him.
The gunshots were thumping, and the sound was very sparse. Every time Henry thought it was about to end, it would sound again like a denial. This was the longest gunshot that Henry had ever heard since he went to the battlefield. Finally, he didn't know how many he had counted silently in his heart. His footsteps came over. In Henry Hive's eyes, Zheng Yingqi, who was panting, ran over.
"Fix them." Zheng Yingqi said lightly, but the wounds separated by the splashed tree chips on his face proved that the battle just now was far less relaxed than he said.
"The German position ahead, we can't move forward," Zheng Yingqi said while carrying Henry: "Let's swim across the river, third-rate snipers, don't tell me you can't swim."
"I used to be the main force of the school swimming team!"
"That's good." Zheng Yingqi chuckled and continued to shuttle through the woods with Henry on his back.
On the other hand, Frank received a report from his subordinates: "Sir, two Americans have entered the woods, and four of us chased after them, but I sent someone to see them just now, and they were all dead."
"two?"
"Yes," said his subordinates ashamed: "One of them is the wounded."
"That is, our people were killed by one person?" Frank frowned and said, "I'll go and have a look."
Frank came to the woods, and four bodies on his side had been carried out. A platoon leader saw Frank coming and hurriedly said, "Sir, they were found three minutes ago. According to the gunshots we heard, it lasted less than three minutes."
"Three minutes? Killed four of my people?" Frank snorted coldly, then took his KaK sniper rifle from the orderly back and said coldly: "I want to see who has such great ability!"
Frank entered the woods with his sniper rifle, and several subordinates looked at each other and took action in person...
When the platoon leader saw the commander enter the forest, he hurriedly signaled his subordinates to follow, but was stopped by Frank's orderly: "When the commander pursues the enemy, he doesn't like that we are troublesome, only two Americans, one of them is a wounded, so let the commander handle it alone."
...
This section of the river is very wide, at least 130 meters. It is precisely because of this that the German army did not set up positions here.
The river flows very fast in this section. Although Henry confidently said that he was the main force of the school swimming team, even if one leg was injured, it would definitely not be difficult here. However, Zheng Yingqi still spent a few minutes preparing a set of wooden lifesaving equipment for Henry. Although the effect is better than nothing, it is always possible to provide a little buoyancy at critical moments.
"You cross the river first, I will cover it."
Henry was not pretentious. With the help of Zheng Yingqi, he crawled into the water in a vast distance, and then began to swim with difficulty. Zheng Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his hand that he planned to retrieve Henry at any time, and then looked towards the forest.
[I hope the Germans can procrastinate more...]
He was muttering, but suddenly he couldn't help but tremble. This feeling was not the first time he had appeared. He quickly realized something and immediately made evasive actions.
Bang
Gunshots rang out.
Frank couldn't help but be stunned. What did he see just now? The enemy made an evasive move when he pulled the trigger!
Expert!
Frank, who came back from his sluggishness, was so excited that he trembled.
The principal once said enviously that a master is someone who can detect the threat of death like you, right. Frank has such ability. However, since he joined the army, countless people have fallen under the gun, and many guys who have been boasted as sniper gods, but he has never seen a person who can be like him, and he will have a sense of being locked.
Unexpectedly, he actually met such a person by the river that night?
He couldn't help but feel happy. He liked the feeling of confronting experts, the feeling of being locked with a gun and then dodging the deadly bullet in a trembling state.
"Hope...you can make me feel the trembling feeling." Frank said to himself.
On the other side, Zheng Yingqi wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead. Just now... he was almost done.
He quickly judged the approximate location of the person who shot the gun, but he did not dare to look up. This small slope was too small. He was afraid that he would be exposed to the gun as soon as he emerged. However, hiding in such a way would be like exposing Henry to the gun of the other party. Therefore, he carefully picked up his helmet with a buttstock and slowly exposed it not far away.
No gunshots.
Can't he see it?
Zheng Yingqi recalled the terrain here, but denied the guess that the other party could not see. He could simulate the surrounding terrain in his mind, and even guess the approximate position of the other party, and he would definitely see the helmet that had just been exposed.
So,
That is to say, the other party guessed that this is fake?
Thinking of this possibility, Zheng Yingqi was so arrogant. It seemed that he was a master among German snipers!
After Yu Guang saw Henry's removal of the backpack, Zheng Yingqi had an idea and picked up the backpack with his feet.
"Then... can you deceive you?"
The backpack suddenly flew up like a figure flashing by.
Bang
The gunshot sounded, and at the moment the gunshot sounded, Zheng Yingqi suddenly squatted up and pointed it at the position he determined, but almost at the same time, a black shadow rolled and flashed from that position in a mess.
hiss
Zheng Yingqi has a toothache, is this guy too slippery?
Frank, who was in a mess, was also sweating all over. He saw the exposed helmet of the other party, and was sure that it was a trick to fool him. Later, he saw the butt stock under the helmet.
The black shadow who suddenly disappeared just now completely deceived him. If he hadn't suddenly trembled after firing the gun, he would have thought he had hit the other party!
Chapter completed!
