Trabi carefully used a dagger to lift off the glass on the window and took off the glass. He did not dare to open the window directly because the window opened outward. Now that the window was pushed open, it would be easy to be discovered by the enemy. But he

You also cannot shoot through window glass. The optical flatness of window glass is very average. After the light passes through the glass, it will be significantly distorted due to refraction. This will cause the apparent position of the target to be different from its actual position.

The actual position is very different. In addition, the bullet will also be disturbed when it passes through the glass. Now those Americans are at a distance of 800 meters. This distance is too far. When the bullet flies over this distance, it will be affected by the temperature, air pressure,

Wind, humidity, and even the rotation of the earth will affect the accuracy of the hit. If coupled with the unpredictable disturbance when passing through the glass, the probability of hitting the target will be as small as winning the lottery.

Carefully removing the glass, Trabi moved a large table to the window so that he could have a support when holding the gun. Although Trabi's hand was very steady, but shooting a target at such a distance, breathing, pulse

It will affect the shooting accuracy. Breathing can be temporarily stopped, but the pulse cannot be controlled. When shooting such a long-distance target, it will be much better to have someone to rely on.

Those Yankees were always moving, which gave Trabi no chance to shoot. You must know that although the muzzle velocity of the Mauser 98k bullet is only 755 meters per second, plus the deceleration of the bullet during flight after it comes out of the chamber, it takes two seconds.

It takes about 20 minutes to hit the target at that distance. During this time, any movement of the moving target may cause the bullet to miss. Moreover, Trabi has not yet been able to tell which person has the highest position there.

officer. So he could only wait patiently.

However, as an old sniper, the most important thing Trabi lacks is patience. On the Eastern Front, he could even lie down in the snow for six or seven hours in order to ambush a target.

…

Appearing near the collapsed gantry crane were General Collins, Ron, and other officers and technicians. They came together to see the damage to Cherbourg. In order to ensure the safety of these personnel, the US military controlled the

They reached the commanding heights within 400 meters nearby. Moreover, all the officers did not wear military ranks, and the soldiers were also ordered not to salute when talking to the officers.

"Ron, look at this, the damage is very complete." General Collins said to Ron, pointing to the gantry crane with its steel frame twisted like a twist on the ground.

"Yeah, but I think it shouldn't be difficult to install a new gantry crane?" Ron finished and added, "Of course, I don't know anything about this. You have to ask our professionals."

Collins turned to look at a balding technician in his fifties, "Mr. Joy, are you an expert in this field? Please tell me."

"Oh, General Ron is right. The gantry crane alone is definitely not a problem. Whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom, there are a large number of ready-made gantry cranes. You can dismantle one at any port, load it on a ship, transport it, and reinstall it.

, are all problems that can be solved quickly. Well, this gantry crane is made in the UK. The same model is easy to find in the UK. The British are still very strong in these aspects!"

When he heard Joey's praise of the British's port machinery manufacturing, Ron couldn't help but think of the time and space he was in. At that time, China's port machinery had accounted for nearly 80% of the world's port machinery.

market, but at that time the de-industrialized British Empire had degenerated to the point where it was building an aircraft carrier at home, but could not even produce a larger gantry crane by itself and had to import it from China. Of course.

, what is even more interesting is that when US President Olympics delivered an impassioned speech on "reviving American manufacturing" at a certain port in the United States, a gust of wind blew away the stars and stripes covering the large gantry crane behind him, thus revealing the gantry crane.

The four big characters "Zhenhua Port Machinery" on it turned out to be a speech promoting "revitalizing American manufacturing" and turned into an advertisement for "Zhenhua Port Machinery". This is really the case for everyone in the world.

"The real trouble lies in these places!" Joey stretched out his hand and pointed to the shipyards and piers in front. "Look, those shipyards, even the reinforced concrete walls on both sides have been blasted and cannot be repaired within a few months. Of course, this

It’s not the most fatal thing. Anyway, the worst we can do is not repair the ship here. But look at the harbor channel, the masts of the sunken ships are still exposed on the sea.”

Ron and Collins looked into the distance. There was something looming on the sea in the distance.

"Give me the telescope!" Collins said. So his adjutant handed him a telescope. Collins raised the telescope and looked toward the sea.

"It's really a mast. There are quite a few more... Joey, how long will it take to clear out those sunken ships?"

"General, this is not necessarily true. Look at the specific number of German sunken ships, the depth at which they sank, what was inside the ships, how many mines they placed there, and the types of mines. Without sending divers to conduct the investigation,

Before detailed investigation, we..."

…

Trabi saw a soldier handing a telescope to another soldier. The soldier held up the telescope and began to look toward the sea. The other man next to him raised his finger and pointed, as if he was giving the telescope to the man holding the telescope.

Do narration.

"This man is probably a senior officer!" Trabi immediately made this judgment. At this time, General Collins was looking into the distance with his telescope, and he didn't move at all. Except that the distance was a little too far, this was really

A goal that couldn't be better.

Trabi observed the Stars and Stripes fluttering in the wind in the distance, then took a deep breath, put his right cheek against the walnut stock of the Mauser 98k sniper rifle, and took a careful aim.

Once, then the gun was pulled and a 7.96 mm bullet was fired.

…

General Collins put down his telescope and took another step forward.

"Mr. Joy, is there any way to quickly clear mines?" Collins said as he walked.

At this moment, the first bullet fired by Trabby had already flown over. Because of General Collins' movement, the bullet failed to hit Collins. It flew behind Collins and hit the ground, causing a splash of water.

dust.

"There are snipers!" Ron rushed over and pushed General Collins to the ground. At this time, the sound of gunfire from the Mauser 98k sniper rifle came slowly.

"Damn!" Seeing Collins take a step, Trabi knew that his shot must have missed. At this time, Trabi was extremely envious of those Americans with M1 automatic rifles. If he was around

It was an M1 semi-automatic sniper rifle, so he could reload it immediately. However, now, he had to pull the bolt first.

When he pulled the bolt, his eyes left the scope, so when he aimed his eyes at the scope again, he didn't know where the target was. So he searched for a while and pointed at a random target.

The guy fired a shot. Trabi knew that he had to move immediately. After the shot, he even looked at the result of the shot.

Without even looking, he picked up his Mauser 98k sniper rifle, rushed out of the room, and ran down the stairs. A few seconds later, he heard a continuous sound coming from the room where he was originally hiding.

There were constant popping sounds, mixed with the sound of broken glass and bricks. He knew that it was the Americans using M-2 heavy machine guns to shoot at the room where he had been staying just now.

…

Ron and Collins fell to the ground, and Collins immediately understood that he had become the target of the German sniper. They each rolled half a circle to the left and right, then each got up, hunched over, and ran towards the nearest hiding place.

go.

The closest thing to Ron was an M8 Greyhound armored reconnaissance vehicle. The armor of this wheeled armored vehicle is very weak, and any anti-tank gun can easily penetrate it. Even the US military's own M2 heavy

Even machine guns can penetrate it. However, its armor is more than enough to block rifle bullets. As long as you hide behind it, you will be absolutely safe.

"One more step!" Ron jumped forward, using a movement that was close to a three-step layup to pounce on the side and rear of the M8 armored vehicle - there were already several soldiers hiding there. At this moment, he felt

There was a sudden pain in the knee joint of his left foot, and then he fell next to the M8 armored vehicle. Several soldiers immediately rushed out and dragged him behind the armored vehicle.

…

"Ron, are you okay?" General Collins said anxiously to Ron, who was lying on a stretcher in an armored ambulance.

"I don't know," Ron was a little worried, "I feel like I was shot in the knee. It's really terrible, this may affect the ability to fly a plane!" To be honest, Ron still has a lot to achieve by flying a plane.

dream.

"I have always had this dream:

I have a dream. I dream that one day I can fly a P-81 fighter jet and go hunting turkeys on the Ryukyu Islands;

I have a dream. I dream that one day, I can fly a B-29 bomber to the Seto Inland Sea to hunt and fry fish;

I have a dream. I dream that one day, I can fly a B-29 bomber to Tokyo and Osaka and be a glorious fire broadcaster;

I have a dream. I dream that one day, I can fly a B-29 bomber and go to the fields of Japan to spray defoliants tirelessly;

I have a dream. I dream that one day, I can fly a B-29 bomber to plant mushrooms on the Japanese archipelago.

Until I got shot in the knee..."
