The security of important people has always been a very difficult job.
The Germans are certainly no exception.
For big figures like Ludendorff, in addition to Ludendorff's guards, there is also a department responsible for collecting peripheral intelligence.
Of course, all security work is preventive, and this kind of passive defense will definitely give people opportunities to take advantage of, especially when there are insiders working together.
In fact, when all the preliminary work is completed, it doesn't matter who fires the last shot. In the era of scopes, as long as you have some basic skills, you can basically complete a sniper kill of five to six hundred meters.
After all, it’s not just thousands of meters away, so the requirements are not that high.
But in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Qin Zhiyuan still chose a top gunner like McTavish.
The top gunmen take action, which is indeed extraordinary.
After McTavish fired, he threw two grenades directly downwards without looking through the scope to see if they hit, and then started to climb quickly along the prepared rope.
MacTavish was confident enough that Ludendorff was too dead to die.
One shot kills. This is the reason why Qin Zhiyuan chose McTavish out of a list of hundreds of people.
When they just remembered the sound of gunshots, the three German soldiers at the foot of the cliff seemed to be stunned in disbelief, and they did not react for several seconds.
By the time he came to his senses, the loyal and brave Black Back had already arrived among the three German soldiers with a smoking grenade in his mouth.
What a scam
boom
There was a violent explosion, smoke and dust filled the air, shrapnel raged, and gravel flew everywhere.
Three German soldiers were killed or wounded.
Just like he had fired the gun just now, McTavish still had no idea of his victory and quickly climbed up the rope.
Climbing to the top of the mountain and over the top of the mountain, there are boundless mountains and mountains. McTavish is sure to escape.
The cliff where McTavish lurked was only forty or fifty meters away from the top of the mountain. With McTavish's speed, he would definitely be able to climb up within a minute.
But in just one minute, the German soldiers who were looking for sniper points noticed this place.
Even if the gunshots were not noticeable, the violent explosion just now was enough to point the way for the German soldiers.
So soon, German soldiers on motorcycles chased them out of the military camp and rushed towards the cliff.
At the same time, the heavy machine guns in the bunker at the entrance of the German command department also began to fire, and the target was McTavish, who was almost climbing to the top of the mountain.
Those who are qualified to serve as Ludendorff's guards must be the elite among the elites. Many of them are not even inferior to McTavish in terms of overall quality. In this case, it is indeed very difficult for McTavish to escape.
.
Even the machine gunners in the bunker at the entrance are elites. The distance is less than 600 meters, but the bullets fired by the mg08 heavy machine gun hit McTavish around him, and the gravel splashed by the warhead even hit McTavish.
face.
Those mg08s are not equipped with sights, which shows the quality of the machine gunners.
That is to say, the German soldiers wanted to capture him alive, otherwise even in just ten seconds, even a few McTavish would not be able to escape.
Soon, McTavish climbed to the top of the mountain, rolled over the top of the mountain with his hands and feet, and disappeared on the other side of the mountain.
The pursuing German soldiers had already arrived at the foot of the cliff.
So the chase took place among the mountains.
Ludendorff's loyal guards vowed to catch him alive, find the murderer behind the scenes, and avenge the god in their hearts.
McTavish was a good sniper, and escaping was no problem. Even in prison, McTavish never stopped exercising. If the German soldiers wanted to kill McTavish, then McTavish would definitely do it.
He has died countless times, but it is not easy to capture MacTavish alive. In the mountains, MacTavish is more agile than a monkey.
After all, the German army was outnumbered. They could pursue MacTavish in batches without stopping, leaving MacTavish exhausted and without any rest time. In the end, he had no choice but to be captured.
MacTavish knew the consequences of continuing like this, so he would try his best to set up traps at the corners of mountain roads and cliffs to slow down the pursuers.
The backpack McTavish took from the foot of the mountain contained some usable tools, but they were not many in number and they would always be used up.
So after escaping for about 10 kilometers, McTavish finally couldn't run anymore and was surrounded in a cave.
It is actually less than 30 kilometers away from Laon.
As for Laon, troops of the Foreign Legion are still stationed there.
But these 30 kilometers are so far away.
McTavish had a pistol with only one magazine of eight rounds in it.
McTavish carefully checked all the bullets, took out one and put it aside, then thought about it and stuffed the bullet into the magazine.
Even if he was captured, McTavish was determined to survive.
You must persist in living just to see that figure again.
Man, listen, you have no way to escape. Putting down your arms and surrendering is your only choice. You are still young. There is no need to risk your life in this unknown cave. Come out. I can promise to give you and your identity.
Commensurate treatment. If you explain who ordered you, then you may get something for it.
Outside the cave, there were intermittent calls for surrender, and they were repeated back and forth in multiple languages.
MacTavish ignored it. He was carefully looking for other passages in the cave leading to somewhere else.
Soon, MacTavish was completely desperate. This was a dead end with no branches.
Just when the German army was trying to persuade him to surrender, the German army did not give up its armed attack. A commando team of six people was quickly formed. These people broke in with force and tried to capture McTavish alive as much as possible.
That's right, the order to capture alive has been changed to wherever possible, which means that from now on, there is no guarantee of MacTavish's life.
When all preparations were completed, the commandos began to attack.
The sky was getting dark at this time. If we did not attack, McTavish's hope of escaping would greatly increase when darkness fell. This was also the reason why the German army's order changed.
It's good to be able to catch him alive, but if he can't be caught, killing him on the spot is an excuse.
In the cave, MacTavish tried his best to make a trap and prepared for the final resistance.
This cave is still quite deep, with complex terrain and rugged rocks, which gives MacTavish an opportunity.
Even if the German commandos have special skills, they are unable to guard against McTavish's trap. After all, they are more proficient in frontal combat and are not good at these small tricks.
The German commandos were careful enough, but at a corner, they were still plotted against. A big rock was placed diagonally above them, cleverly held up by a small wooden stick. As long as it encountered external force, the small wooden stick would break at any time.
, and then the stone will roll down.
The commandos were not prepared for such a trap, so the stone was knocked down by a careless commando. There was a loud noise and the big stone rolled down towards the commandos.
The commandos were unable to dodge. Two commandos died with their brains splattered, and one commando had his leg broken.
While the other three commandos were in shock, McTavish ducked out less than ten meters in front of them, half-kneeling on the ground and started shooting one by one with his pistol.
bang bang bang
The sound of the pistol was clear and sweet, echoing back and forth in the narrow cave, but it sounded so heartbreaking.
Two commandos were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
The German commandos were also experienced soldiers, and the last commando immediately raised his gun to fight back.
Ta-ta-ta-ta
Tongues of fire spurted out wildly, and a chain of fire composed of orange-red warheads rolled toward McTavish.
The German commandos are equipped with Berkman MP18 submachine guns. This kind of gun is not very powerful in the wild, but in a narrow room, it is simply a summoning banner that reminds people of death.
Er, MacTavish was pushed hard against the stone wall behind by the bullet, making a muffled sound of pain.
Even after being shot, McTavish did not stop shooting.
bang bang bang
The sound of gunfire was still crisp, but fortunately before the last bullet was fired, the last German commando was also knocked down.
Perhaps hearing the sound of the firing pin hitting empty, the German soldier with a broken leg turned around and shouted, then regardless of the fact that one leg could no longer exert any strength, he jumped up and threw McTavish to the ground who was trying to pick up the gun.
So the two men rolled and fought on the ground, punching to the flesh, using all possible means, trying to kill each other.
A German commando broke a leg and his strength was greatly reduced due to his inability to exert his full strength.
MacTavish had been chased for more than ten kilometers, and his physical strength was exhausted. He was now the last remaining brave man.
There was actually no winner between the two sides.
The narrow cave echoed with the sounds of heavy breathing and roars when exerting force, mixed with painful grunts, entangled with each other, and it took a long time to stop.
Outside the cave, more than 20 German soldiers surrounded the entrance of the cave in a semicircle. They seemed to have not heard the fighting inside the cave just now, and they just surrounded the entrance of the cave quietly.
After half an hour, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. As soon as he reached the entrance, the man threw himself to the ground without any movement.
The clothes on that man were German uniforms.
This person is MacTavish. The reason why he delayed for so long was that the German commando was really difficult to deal with, and he also wanted to change his clothes so that he could hide the truth.
An officer wearing the rank of second lieutenant had a complicated expression and made a gesture to the people around him. Several soldiers approached cautiously. Two people drove the wounded man who was lying at the entrance of the cave out, and several more soldiers cautiously walked toward the cave.
Search forward within.
Three steps, two steps, one step
Seeing that he was about to pass by, MacTavish was secretly happy. After passing this level, he could escape again. It was already night, and MacTavish was confident enough to disappear into the mountains.
Just as he was about to pass by, the second lieutenant patted McTavish heavily on the shoulder.
For a moment, McTavish felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Mai." The second lieutenant whispered into MacTavish's ear.
Chinese, this is actually Chinese.
Of course McTavish, who had attended Chinese language training in Corsica, could understand this sentence, especially the old one, which was so cordial as never before.
On July 20, Ludendorff was sniped from a long distance. The killer used a Type 98B rifle produced by the German Mauser factory.
I'm afraid Ludendorff never imagined that he would die under a rifle produced by the Germans.
Of course, what made Ludendorff even more unexpected was that it was a German who planned his murder, and he was also a member of the royal family.
After hearing the news, Qin Zhiyuan sat alone at the headquarters and did not go out for a whole day.
Ludendorff was originally supposed to die in 1937, but now he died in 1918. This shows that in this time and space, some things that Qin Zhiyuan is very familiar with may not happen, and some of Qin Zhiyuan's once famous names may not appear.
Everything is a new beginning.
After hearing the news of Ludendorff's assassination, Paris and London were thrown into carnival, and almost everyone poured into the streets to cheer for the news.
According to statistics, wine sales in Paris that day quadrupled compared to normal.
When the news reached Berlin, it is said that Wilhelm II stood indifferently for an hour, then summoned the cabinet ministers, announced Ludendorff's death, and then ordered Ludendorff's coffin to be transported back to Berlin and buried with a state funeral.
.
There is another rumor that William II was very happy in the palace that night. He rarely drank some wine and fell asleep in a happy mood.
