Chapter 219 The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Stephen gently turned the steering wheel and pedaled the left rudder at the same time, and the plane began to approach the Germans who were forming a team. The deputy gunner Tony opened a large ammunition box and quickly installed the ammunition chain. In the dark cabin, Huang
The copper eggshell glows with golden light.
"Major, what are these Americans doing?" Looking at the two AC-47 gunships approaching from the left and right, Sergeant Barak seemed to feel that something was wrong. He hurriedly said to the battalion commander Crouchen, "It seems a little
Something is wrong."
"Can two unarmed transport planes scare you like this? The more battles you fight, the less courageous you become." Krauchen said disapprovingly and raised his head to look at the two planes.
Past. At this time, his pupils suddenly shrank - he saw the doors of the two planes were opened, and something seemed to stick out from the dark doors.
"Damn it! It's a machine gun!" Krauchen immediately ordered: "Disband! Hidden!"
But this order was already too late. The hatches of the two AC-47s had already begun to spray out deadly flames. The 25mm caliber 6-barreled Gatling cannon rotated rapidly, making a whistling sound like a chainsaw, and a series of
A dense string of artillery shells were fired at the German soldiers on the ground. According to the way the artillery shells were organized, there would be one tracer bullet for every 10 artillery shells. Now, these tracer bullets with long flames show the entire trajectory.
Viewed from a distance, the shells fired by the two AC-47s were like two long flaming whips, lashing hard at the German marching column.
However, the effect of this blow is far beyond what any whip can match. The 25mm caliber armor-piercing projectile is even enough to destroy most armored vehicles and even some tanks. For example, the 17th SS Panzer Grenadier to which Krauchen belonged
The side and top armor of the Type IV H tank, which is the most equipped in the division, cannot withstand the attack of the 25mm gun. Of course, this time they are only attacking soft targets. So when attacking the target, the Americans have no choice.
Instead of armor-piercing bullets used to attack armored vehicles, high-explosive bullets were chosen.
The charge of 25mm high-explosive ammunition is quite small, much less than that of hand grenades. If a single shot is placed on the flat ground and explodes, even if it explodes next to the target, the damage caused will probably not be enough to kill a person, at most
It just blew up one of his feet. But like now, being sprayed out at a speed of 4,000 rounds per minute, the effect is completely different. Barak, who was talking to Krauchen just now, was hit by a 25mm high-explosive bomb.
It hit the waist directly, and with a loud explosion, he was blown into two pieces from the waist. The upper half of his body flew out and landed two or three meters away. But Barak had not yet expired.
He screamed, while using his hands to hold up half of his body, he climbed two more steps, as if he wanted to escape from this bloody Shura field. But immediately another shell caught up with him, ending his
The delusion also ended his suffering.
Now the highway has completely become a Shura field. Under the intensive fire of artillery shells, countless stumps were flying everywhere, and a team of two to three hundred people was swept to the ground almost in an instant. Compared to Barak, Crowe
Chen's death came much more simply. Just after he gave the order to disband, two flame whips were whipped hard at the rear of the queue. For a moment, the fire rose and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Krauchen looked at the people heading towards
He opened his eyes wide at the whip of death that was approaching rapidly. He seemed to have forgotten about escaping, but felt endless regret in his heart.
"It was you who gathered them together! It was you who let them die under the enemy's fire! You can't run, you should die with them!" A voice from nowhere caught him and made him
He couldn't turn around and escape. So he stood here firmly, watching the flames and whips of death rush in and engulf him. A 25mm shell hit his chest, "It's finally over."
In the severe pain, Krauchen thought this, and then he fell into boundless darkness.
…
After releasing his hand from the shooting button, Cocu stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips. The entire cabin was filled with the choking smell of gun smoke, which made Cocu feel even thirstier.
"Is there water? Tony, I'm a little thirsty." Cocu said. He looked very tired.
"Yes, yes." Tony replied. He quickly took out a kettle from a dark yellow canvas bag nearby and handed it to Cocu.
Cocu stretched out his hand and caught the kettle. His hand was shaking slightly. He unscrewed the lid and took a few sips. Maybe he drank too much, or maybe the smoke in the cabin was too choking.
, Kecu coughed violently.
The two AC-47s circled around the remains of the German soldiers again. Seeing that there seemed to be no movement in the pile of dead bodies, they slowly turned around and began to climb slowly.
…
An hour later, another group of German infantry appeared here.
"Oh my God! Is this?" The sight he saw in front of him almost stunned the captain and company commander Kopke, who was leading the team, but he reacted immediately.
"First row, immediately occupy the commanding heights on the left; second row, deploy to the right; third row, deploy forward in a battle formation." Kopke quickly gave the order.
The soldiers quickly formed a fighting formation and dispersed. Some of them set up mg-42 machine guns, and some picked up MP-40 submachine guns or 98k carbines, and were ready for an encounter with the enemy. At this time, popular science
Ke Ze approached the corpses and began to study them.
The situation of the friendly troops of the battalion that died on the ground was really weird. It seemed that they were suddenly ambushed when they were forming a team, and then they all died here. Judging from the density of the team, the blow they suffered
It must have been so violent that after being attacked, the entire formation had no time to deploy, and they were all killed here. The person who ran the farthest only ran six or seven meters.
Moreover, the death conditions of these friendly troops were extremely shocking. On the ground, you could hardly find a complete corpse. All the corpses were mutilated. Some were missing arms, some were missing thighs, and some were missing legs.
They were beaten into two pieces directly from the waist. Some people still have their torsos, but their heads are nowhere to be found. What kind of weapon can cause such a terrifying effect? Even an M-2 machine gun cannot cause such a terrifying effect.
the result of.
"Could it be a 20mm cannon?" Kopke thought, "The 20mm cannon on the US military fighter jets has a high rate of fire and strong firepower. If they were to attack suddenly while they were forming a team, they might be able to produce such an effect. But.
How could they be so exposed to the firepower of enemy fighter jets in such a dense formation? This is absolutely impossible. Even if the officer forgot to be alert, it is impossible for other soldiers to not notice the enemy fighter jets. Could it be that they were ambushed by the enemy?
The ground troops launched a sneak attack? For example, the enemy hid seven or eight small-caliber anti-aircraft guns nearby, and then opened fire together..." Thinking of this, Kopke couldn't help but shudder.
"Expand the warning range!" Kopke quickly added an order. If the enemy really ambush so many small-caliber anti-aircraft guns nearby, their killing range would far exceed the current warning range of the German army.
…
The two AC-47s continued to fly along the road. In the process, they encountered some German soldiers who had fallen behind during the march. They also regarded this attack aircraft covered in transport aircraft as insurgents.
As a result, when this obedient little sheep suddenly tore off its disguise and revealed its true face as a ferocious big bad wolf, there were suddenly more innocent souls in the underworld.
…
Listening to the information sent back by the AC-47 in front, Ron was also surprised. Even he did not expect that the AC-47 would have such results for the first time. He originally only wanted to let the two AC-47
Go out and get used to the battlefield.
"These two wolves in sheep's clothing went out so madly and killed a lot of Germans the first time they went out. If there are survivors among the Germans, then the Germans will be particularly impressed by this kind of fighter. Maybe.
, after the Germans are all familiar with this kind of aviation gunboat, when necessary, they can also use a large group of real C-47 transport aircraft to pretend to be AC-47 and scare those Germans to death." Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but reveal
A proud smile.
…
The sun finally dropped below the horizon. Captain Kopke and his company hurriedly and slowly caught up with the troops. As soon as he caught up with the troops, he immediately found his superiors and handed them a big bag.
.
"What is this?" Jonas, the leader of the group, asked.
"Open it and see for yourself," Koepke said.
Jonas opened his pocket and looked at it with a flashlight. It was full of soldiers' identification plates.
"This is?"
"This is the identity card of all the soldiers in Krauchen's battalion. Commander, we are here today..." Kopke reported what happened today to Jonas. Then he added his own views.
"I think the enemy may have dropped paratroopers in our rear. These paratroopers may also have lightweight tanks that can move quickly, just like the American Jeep. It shouldn't be a tank slightly larger than a Jeep. It may be driven by
Small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Because I think that only such a firepower configuration, coupled with highly mobile tanks, and an ambush can produce such a terrible attack effect. If there really is such a highly mobile paratrooper unit in our
Nearby, we must be very careful even if we march at night."
"Well, your idea makes sense, so did you find any traces of the enemy?" Jonas asked.
"No, I searched for a while, but couldn't find it...and enemy planes flew over from time to time, and I had to be busy on the road, so I didn't search very carefully." Kopke thought for a while and answered like this,
"But I think other than that, it's really hard to have any other explanation."
After listening to what he said, Jonas also thought for a while, and then said: "What you think makes some sense. Apart from that, it is indeed difficult to have any other explanation. Although I still think that the enemy's paratroopers are not so elite.
