"Be careful. There is a heavy machine gun on the right. A machine gun team will cover it. Tommy, kill him."
Captain Mizik, who was hiding behind the trees in embarrassment, was directing his soldiers to counterattack. They were suppressed by the Austro-Hungarian soldiers and were unable to move in the grove.
As soon as Mizk finished speaking, a Madsen machine gun team rushed over with its head lowered. After using a small earth slope as a bunker, the Madsen machine gun pointed at the heavy Austro-Hungarian enemy a few hundred meters away.
The machine gun fired in the past, which was telling the opponent not to be too arrogant. As expected, this newly emerged firepower point became a thorn in the opponent's side, and the Maxim heavy machine gun immediately fired at this place. The enemy was trying to tell them that they should not even think about fighting with the light machine gun.
Confronted by heavy machine guns.
The Madsen machine gun team, which was under special care, was immediately in danger, but this also greatly reduced the pressure on other soldiers. Tommy, who was named by Mizk, immediately found a hidden position and prepared to let the
Maxim, who is quite arrogant, gives him a taste of his power.
What he prepared for the opponent was the newly developed Mauser 98M rifle in Romania. This rifle was also developed by the Bucharest Arsenal just two years ago. Compared with the traditional Mauser 98 rifle, the main improvement of this gun is the addition of
It has a retractable tripod and a 3x telescope installed on the gun body, allowing the user to shoot enemies from long distances more accurately. Because it was selected from hundreds of thousands of Mauser 98s, the production of this gun is not high.
.The 19th Division was only allocated 150 units, and the 7th Company only had this one unit.
Now Tommy is putting the machine gun glove that suppressed their company into his frame. After relaxing physically and mentally and holding his breath, the machine gunner's face flushed with excitement because he shot his comrades appeared in the cross star of the frame.
among.
Stabilizing his body posture, he pulled the trigger. In the blink of an eye, Tommy saw a blood flower explode from the chest of the machine gunner whose hands were stained with the blood of his comrades. He fell to the ground after catching it, and ravaged them.
The sound of machine guns overhead also stopped.
"Perfect."
Tommy encouraged himself in a low voice. The reason why he did this was that being able to kill an enemy with one shot from hundreds of meters away requires not only good shooting skills, but also good luck. The reality is not like that.
Just like in movies or games, a sniper can kill enemies hundreds of meters away with just one shot. At this distance, relying on the naked eye is no longer enough. Even with a 4x telescope, it is not easy. This distance often requires two to four shots.
The frequency of shooting, and the blessing of God required to hit the target with one shot, obviously God is very close to Tommy.
After killing the machine gunner, Tommy didn't dare to be careless. He quickly removed the bullet casing and loaded another bullet. You must know that a heavy machine gun team can have 4 to 6 people, and these people basically know how to operate a machine gun. Sure enough, when he found the master
After the shooter was killed, the deputy shooter immediately stepped forward to operate the heavy machine gun, but Tommy would not give him a chance at this time. He followed the same steps again. But this time he did not get the favor of God, and the deputy was hit by this shot.
The right side of the shooter.
Although the deputy shooter did not hit him, the bullet that suddenly hit him next to him still startled him. But before the deputy shooter could react, another bullet hit him. This time the remaining members of the machine gun team
Knowing that a sharpshooter was targeting them, they could no longer stay in this position. So the remaining people disassembled the machine guns and quickly changed places. However, their machine gun operations had been unlucky today, and they would be targeted again if they changed places.
If we moved to another place, we would still be targeted. By the end of the fight, no one would dare to operate the machine gun.
After the Austro-Hungarian machine guns were suppressed by Tommy, Mizk waved his big hand and shouted loudly, "Follow me and rush over."
Then Mizik jumped out of the trees that were covering him and rushed towards the Austro-Hungarian defending soldiers. Seeing his company commander taking the lead in charging, the other soldiers of the 7th Company were inspired. Now the momentum of the 7th Company increased and they all rushed forward.
stand up.
Major General Dott Reed, the commander of the 19th Division who was observing the battle from behind, saw this scene and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
Hearing his division commander's inquiry, Captain Delson, who was accompanying him, stepped forward and spoke. "This is a captain named Mizik of our regiment. All the soldiers we charge with are subordinate to him. He and his
This company is the one that trains the hardest in our regiment.”
Inadvertently, Captain Delson praised his subordinates in front of the division commander.
"I know this company. As far as I know, they are the company with the fewest vacations. However, it allows the soldiers to reduce their rest time and increase the training content without making them resentful. This Mizik is also very good at training soldiers."
It seems that Major General Dotred knows Captain Mizik and has a good impression of him, which makes many people envious of Captain Mizik. As long as the division commander has a good impression in front of the division commander, then Captain Mizik will be promoted to a colonel.
The senior officer will have a smooth journey.
But at this time, Captain Delson spoke up. "Actually, this Mizik still has many shortcomings, such as being very courageous and loving to cause trouble, etc."
Commander Delson's words were directly interpreted by Major General Dortred. "Okay, Lieutenant Colonel Delson, don't show your little thoughts. Such excellent grassroots officers should start from the grassroots units step by step.
The best choice for him is to pass by, so I won't compete with you."
Captain Delson, who was seen through, could only smile with his division commander to resolve the embarrassment after being seen through. However, Major General Dortred had no intention to care about this now, because the current battle situation was just like Mizk's 7th Company.
There are too few troops with outstanding performance. The current situation is that the flank offensive of the 19th Division has been blocked by the 17th Division defended by Austria-Hungary. It feels that they are completely unable to attack. This is not true for the two division commanders who only have three days.
good news.
"It seems that the elite Austro-Hungarian troops are defending the flanks. I am still too impatient to seize the opportunity to attack on the flanks."
Major General Dotred, who had already come to a conclusion, couldn't help but think of the flank attack he was confident about when he heard that the enemy's flanks had not built any fortifications at noon.
"I should have thought earlier that the Austro-Hungarian army had been fighting for several years, so how could they make such a mistake? Seeing that the 1st Guards Division fought without too much pressure, I thought it would not be too far behind, but now it seems that it is still too far behind.
too much."
The words spoken by Major General Dortred made all the officers present feel a little ashamed. Looking at the expressions of his subordinate officers, Major General Dortred felt that he had said enough, so he spoke.
"Stop the attack. If you can't attack now, you will lose your troops in vain. Next, give me a summary and teach you how to continue fighting tomorrow."
Following the order of Major General Dotred, the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line like Captain Mizik all retreated. After some statistics, the 19th Division suffered nearly a thousand casualties this afternoon. This made the division commander Dotred
De Da Da is in flames. These casualties are still effective, but today's offensive is not going well and the effect is not great.
"It seems like we need to change positions with the 1st Guards Division. By the way, let's discuss tomorrow's general attack."
Thinking of this, Major General Dotred planned to go to Lieutenant General Ankodar to discuss it. He did not want to fight another battle like this today.
