Five hundred and twentieth eight chapters pick three
After Sedles accidentally discovered the British logistics base, Garibaldi, the Italian commander in North Africa, immediately decided to launch an attack on the city of Sedles.
Before the large-scale attack, Garibaldi first sent a small Italian reconnaissance unit to Sedles to investigate the British defense situation in the city. Captain Carter was still directly responsible for this reconnaissance mission.
Acting with him were two major officers from the Italian High Command personally appointed by General Garibaldi. These two officers had previously served in the reconnaissance company and were very helpful to this operation.
Although these two officers were one level higher in rank than Captain Carter, Garibaldi emphasized that the highest commander of this operation was still Captain Carter of the reconnaissance company, and he had the right to order these two majors.
These two majors had no airs about them. They both carried Beretta M1938 submachine guns and looked just like Italian soldiers.
They each also carried two grenades, but the two majors carried anti-tank grenades because they understood that the British armored forces were the biggest headache for them.
Before leaving, Garibaldi specially sent two soldiers to take charge of their safety. On the road in the direction of Sedles, Carter and the two officers walked at the end, with the two Italian soldiers in front helping them.
"Open the way", the three Carters are now preparing to go to the temporary headquarters of the frontline reconnaissance company to discuss the battle plan.
Not long after arriving at the headquarters, the two Italian officers and Captain Carter formulated a reconnaissance plan to go to Sedles.
It must be said that the two major officers sent by Garibaldi were both very capable. The three of them worked together to easily solve many tactical problems.
Soon, the Italian reconnaissance company followed the plan and quietly approached Sedeles under the cover of darkness.
But what Carter didn't expect was that the Italian reconnaissance company easily entered the city of Sedles. There were no accidents in the first few hundred meters after entering the city, neither civilians nor enemies.
, it was very peaceful and safe along the way, just like this was an empty city.
"What's going on? Are all the British troops asleep?" Captain Carter muttered in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud for fear of alarming the British in the city. It was surprisingly quiet here, even
The sound of breathing could also be heard clearly, and a premonition told Carter that things were not that simple.
When they entered the core area of the city along the winding path between the buildings, they suddenly heard a short and rapid burst of machine gun fire.
This machine gun is using long burst fire, and the sound sounds like a British machine gun.
"Asshole! We were so careful and still got discovered!" Captain Carter no longer had to hold back his voice and complained.
As he expected, things were indeed not that simple. It seemed that the British army should have been prepared in advance here.
Captain Carter immediately ordered the troops to stop and quickly disperse, each looking for bunkers.
Most of the soldiers in the Italian reconnaissance company hid in a two-story building about a hundred meters ahead, while Carter and the two Italian majors bent down and hid in the corner of a nearby bombed-out building.
, and began to stick his head out in the direction of the machine gun sound.
Later, Carter and the others saw a British armored vehicle shooting at a two-story building about 100 meters ahead on the right. The machine gun on the armored vehicle fired regularly, and the bullets hit the building and splashed gravel.
But no one in that building fought back, as if no one had ever fought in that building.
"What's going on? Aren't all our soldiers hiding in that house? Why don't they fight back?" Captain Carter asked anxiously.
"Who knows? These are your soldiers." A major replied.
But the British armored vehicles could not be seen at all from where Carter and the others were, and they could only hear the sound of the machine guns on the armored vehicles.
It sounded like the armored vehicle was parked behind a corner.
However, Carter soon saw a dozen British infantrymen, bending down along the corner and approaching the building under the cover of armored vehicles.
The two officers working with Carter began to become nervous. Their mission was to cooperate with Carter to successfully complete the reconnaissance mission, and of course to protect the safety of the troops.
If this continues, all the Italian soldiers accompanying him will definitely be killed, and the reconnaissance mission will fail.
Not only the two majors, but Carter himself was also very nervous. Obviously if the British army occupied the two-story building, all the soldiers in his company would be dead.
Therefore, their top priority is to kill the British armored vehicles.
The three men understood that they had to change places, because in this position, anti-tank grenades could not reach the British armored vehicles. And there was no better place nearby for them to hide.
Now, if Carter and the others want to rush out without any cover, they will definitely be treated as live targets by the British.
Just when Carter and the others were feeling desperate, an inconspicuous hut about thirty meters ahead on the left caught their attention.
Flames suddenly appeared from the two windows of the hut, and it was obvious that this was a machine gun and two submachine guns shooting, and the direction of the shooting was the building where most of the Italian reconnaissance troops were located.
Although most of the soldiers who hid did not fight back because they were afraid of death, two officers under Carter finally plucked up the courage and tried to lie on the window and fight back in the direction of the British army.
Since the British army used armored vehicles and surrounding obstacles as bunkers, the two Italian officers' counterattack seemed meaningless.
After seeing this situation, most of the Italian soldiers did not dare to fight back after the gunshots were fired. They did not even care where the shots were coming from. They just looked for the doors and windows around them and quickly got in.
After a series of shots, there were corpses of Italian soldiers lying on the ground. Among them, there were two wounded who could move a little.
However, the British army's shooting could not continue. After knocking down many Italian soldiers, they deployed two windows of firepower. The shooting stopped abruptly and everything returned to calm.
In fact, they were served by Captain Carter and two major officers.
As soon as they opened fire, Carter discovered that it was an excellent position. Not only could he use the cover to shoot the British troops, but the distance from the British armored vehicles was just enough for the grenade to reach them.
Fortunately, three brave officers finally emerged among the more than a hundred Italians, and they managed to regain half the game.
