When the action force stopped about 1 kilometer away from the town.
From the walkie-talkie microphone hanging on Hu Biao's left shoulder, there was suddenly a "rustling~" sound of electricity, attracting all his attention.
Then, Lieutenant Don Collier's voice came out from the microphone:
"Second Lieutenant Hu, Second Lieutenant Hu, do you hear it now? After you hear it, come over here and let us discuss what to do next."
"Got it, I'll be right over."
After hearing this, Hu Biao responded, then lifted his long legs, climbed out of the short door of the jeep, jumped out of the car and walked towards the tank where Don Collier was.
I wanted to hear what that man, Lieutenant Don Collier, was going to say.
Soon after, Lieutenant Don Collier, who was wearing a tank cap on his head and acting as the commander of an M4A2 tank, was pulling a map on his knee with his fingers.
While facing Hu Biao beside him, he politely asked for his opinion on the next action:
"Second Lieutenant Hu, do you have any suggestions for this place?"
What should be said is that he is also a white man, and he also holds the rank of lieutenant in the army, but this Lieutenant Don Collier is much more open-minded in his life and work than that grandson of Decker.
This made Hu Biao adjust his attitude and plan to treat the other party seriously as a comrade-in-arms.
But in Lieutenant Don Collier's mouth, Hu Biao was able to understand what he meant by such a somewhat meaningless sentence.
According to the map I carried with me, the town in front of me is called Aitele. Because there are some low hills in the surrounding area, you need to walk at least 50 kilometers to get around here.
Given the current poor road conditions around Normandy, this 50-kilometer journey might take six hours to complete.
This was still along the way, and we didn't encounter any German troops fighting. If we encountered German snipers, God knows how long it would take.
Whether it will even reach its destination is still unknown.
But if the action force continues to advance like this, no matter whether it is the men dangling from the telephone poles outside the town.
Judging from the behavior of a group of Gaulish natives who asked for news, there must be German sticks entrenched in this town; if they really want to continue to advance, they can only capture this place.
The question is, what is the strength of the German sticks in the town, how much equipment they have, etc. It can be said that Hu Biao and others know nothing.
This is the biggest reason why Lieutenant Don Collier is so hesitant about his next action.
Faced with such a question, Hu Biao did not choose to answer directly. Instead, he first took a telescope and looked towards the small town of Aitele not far away.
From what he could see, he could see that this was a small town of quite limited size.
The entire town consists of seventy or eighty buildings, most of which are two-story brick and wood structures.
In Hu Biao's sight, during this morning period, there was not a single person moving in the town.
Just this one point shows that there must be an ambush on the part of German soldiers in the small town.
The actual difference is simply the scale of the ambush.
After putting down the telescope, Hu Biao thought about the 50-kilometer detour. Maybe he would be ambushed by German soldiers in the process.
Facing Lieutenant Don Collier, I made a clear decision in my mind: take a detour and hit him directly.
With such a decision, Hu Biao said something that shocked the other party:
"No need to take a detour, let's just conquer this place and then pass through! How about we move quickly, because after the battle, we can still have a belated breakfast in the town.
As for combat, I can't guarantee anything else.
What I can guarantee is that during this process, no German infantryman will be able to fire at you with an iron fist or approach you with an anti-tank grenade.
But with the opponent's anti-tank guns and tanks, there is nothing we can do."
Faced with such an awesome assurance from Hu Biao, Lieutenant Don Collier was speechless for a while, and then he said helplessly:
"Okay! Man.
Although I don't know why you have such strong confidence, I don't want to take any detours at all; so let's take action, and I hope you can fulfill your promises.
As for German tanks and anti-tank guns, leave it to us."
After saying this, he remembered something and said again: "That's right! It's time for your sniper who was shot in the butt to perform well. I'm looking forward to his excellent performance."
"No problem, just wait and see." Hu Biao agreed easily.
At this point, the two sides finally made a plan to attack the small town of Aitler.
When Lieutenant Don Collier climbed back into his M4A2 tank, most of the members of the Central-Earth team got off the truck.
No need for Hu Biao to greet them, these guys quickly got into the mood.
Bianrou, Dahuyou and NEO began to set up mortar positions; the others stood behind five Sherman tanks, preparing to act as infantry to cover the tanks.
Zhui Feng and Yuan Sin are the only exceptions.
The reason for this is that chasing the wind using the "Basic Car Driving Mastery" requires driving a Willys Jeep to act as a mobile firepower point.
You must know that there is an M2 Browning heavy machine gun in the back of the jeep.
When used together by Original Sin and Zhui Feng, this thing will definitely produce a good effect that one plus one is greater than two.
Only Delo, who had no one to lift him up and could only use a Springfield sniper rifle as a crutch to support his body, was in a panic.
Because in the following time, Lieutenant Don Collier is still waiting for his outstanding performance.
The key is that he can perform an outstanding performance.
Fortunately, Hu Biao had already prepared a plan for such a minor situation. He was facing the warehouse manager who was laughing and joking, intending to watch him and De Luo make a fool of themselves.
Using fluent English, he cursed:
"Warehouse manager, as a sniper's assistant, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and help your main sniper, Mr. Delo, to find a suitable sniper position."
The subtext behind such a statement is actually very obvious:
Let the warehouse manager snipe the opponent, but the victory belongs to Delo.
Immediately under this statement, the warehouse manager began to feel depressed, but the veterans of the team burst into loud laughter.
As for the upcoming battle, these guys didn't care at all.
Mainly during the battle to defend the tractor factory in Volgograd, they had experienced street battles like this countless times. The battle in front of them was just a small scene...
Following five Sherman tanks with black smoke coming out of their butts, the Zhongzhou team trotted up and down towards the town.
At this moment, they no longer had any playful smiles on their faces, and they had already entered the state with weapons in hand.
During such a process, five 75mm-caliber M3 tank guns were raised high in the direction of the town.
At the same time, several vehicle commanders also emerged from the opened hatch cover, with their hands on the handle of the M2 vehicle-mounted machine gun on the turret.
Be ready to open fire if something goes wrong.
However, as the tank continued to approach, the tank's tracks crunched on the stone road of the town. After entering the town, there was still no movement in the entire town.
It seemed that the people in the town had completely disappeared long ago.
This was the case until, without warning, a firelight that was still very conspicuous in broad daylight lit up from the window on the first floor of a three-story building.
A shell with a whistling sound hit the leading M4A1 tank.
In the blink of an eye, it hit the right track of the M4A1 tank, causing gravel and steel parts to fly all over the sky.
"F*ck! 88 mm anti-aircraft gun." In such an unusually familiar whistling sound, Hu Biao shouted this instinctively.
Then, he raised his hand and received a hail of bullets, knocking him to the ground directly from the German soldier who appeared behind a window at 10 o'clock.
Thanks to his excellent reaction, the MP40 submachine gun in the opponent's hand had no time to fire...
