Chapter 144: Chapter 100: Playing CQB in World War II
"Even if the worst case happens and a tank is chasing us, it will still relieve the pressure on our Tiger tanks. In a two-on-one scenario, maybe the situation will turn around, and we’ll win against the Hawk Army, serving the same purpose!"
"Well said!"
Eugen excitedly gripped the Mauser rifle in his hand, "The officer is right. Brother Herman, your combat experience is indeed rich."
"There’s not much time left, so let’s move quickly. Make sure to the situation frequently on the way, and I’ll give you instructions."
Seeing that the enemy tanks were already gathered in the middle of the crossroads, Gu Ji grabbed his M1 submachine gun and rushed out.
He helped Ler and Eugen not just because of his identity with the Hans Army.
More importantly, this crossroads was already pinched by the Hawk Army. He wanted to continue escaping northwest and could only take the Hans Army’s western road.
Even so, he couldn’t avoid being shelled by the Hawk Army.
Unless he directly abandons the Hans Army and runs away.
But doing so on the battlefield, he might be shot as a "traitor" by his comrades before he even turns around!
Boom—!
At that moment, the tank artillery battle between the two sides had begun, and the Hawk Army’s shells grazed the target, hitting the west wall, instantly blasting out a large hole.
But the Hans Army’s Tiger Tank was not to be outdone, firing a shell that shattered the entire half of a white stone fountain at the crossroads, sending white stones flying like hail.
"Quick, follow up, move along the wall!"
Gu Ji took the opportunity to cross the main road, quickly weaving through the bombed-out building ruins, "Watch out for Hawk Army soldiers on the right!"
His shout immediately woke up Eugen, who was following behind.
Seeing someone looking over, he hurriedly shouted:
"Herman, we’ve been spotted!"
Bam!
As soon as the words fell, a rifle bullet hit the ground where Gu Ji was moving forward.
Without a second thought, Gu Ji raised his gun and fired over.
Tut-tut-tut, a burst of concentrated shots instantly killed a soldier behind the tank.
"Next time there’s a situation, more precisely, how many targets, what positions!"
"Yes, yes!"
Eugen was taken aback by Gu Ji’s excellent shooting skills, unable to react for a moment.
Ler turned around and fired two more shots.
"Two Hawk Army soldiers are coming from the left rear, behind the tank!"
"Don’t get caught up in the fight, lure them away from the troops!"
Gu Ji, glancing at an alleyway out of the corner of his eye, suddenly stopped. While firing, he reminded, "Watch my right rear at the alley, retreat from there!"
"Target on the left, down!"
He said, killing another man with his M1 submachine gun.
Eugen was completely stunned beside him.
He didn’t understand why this soldier, only a few years older than him, could react so quickly, observe the surroundings while running, and have such surprisingly good shooting skills, taking out enemies as he went.
"There are Hans Army behind us!"
"Quick, quick! There are Hans Army!"
...
Seeing his companion killed, the remaining Hawk Army soldier immediately stopped pursuing and hid behind a nearby black lamppost.
"The enemy is requesting reinforcements, reload, and prepare to retreat!"
Gu Ji shouted while removing the magazine and sticking it into his belt, then taking out a new magazine and reloading.
Only then did the others realize they had fired a lot, hastily reloading.
"Go! Position two, follow up! The officer covers the rear!"
Click, after pulling the bolt to load the gun, Gu Ji glanced at the Hawk Army soldier’s position and rushed towards the alley on the opposite road during the enemy’s firing pause.
Seeing him directly exposed in front of the Hawk Army tank troops.
Eugen’s adrenaline surged, and with a "whoosh," he bravely followed.
Ler, being a veteran, was slightly tense but managed to stay calm and steady in his actions.
Not forgetting to follow Gu Ji’s orders, he fired back at the approaching Hawk Army reinforcements.
In fact, the Hawk Army’s main force was entirely drawn away by the Tiger Tank on the west side, and very few could actually come to support.
Thus, the three of them all made it into the alley safely.
"Side window clear! Watch for pursuers behind!"
Gu Ji’s pupils had long since squinted into slits, like a leopard in hunting mode, his gun quickly sweeping the window before continuing to dash forward.
Reaching a corner.
"Same as before, three, two, one!"
Since Hans language numbers don’t sound similar to Xia Wen numbers, avoiding unnecessary change, after shouting the last, Gu Ji suddenly hunched forward into a half-crouch, while Eugen behind him immediately stood up straight, aiming his gun forward.
"Clear!"
Ler at the rear suddenly spoke up.
"Herman, there’s movement behind!"
"Disperse, hug the wall, prepare to engage the enemy!"
Gu Ji immediately halted, turning around to hug the left wall, crab-walking step by step to the corner’s edge.
While Ler and Eugen stuck to the right wall.
"Fire!"
In the next moment, just when the silhouette appeared in their line of sight, Gu Ji shouted, and his grip on the M1 submachine gun had already squeezed the trigger before the shout came out.
Ratatat...
Ratatat!
Facing two submachine guns’ fire, the three pursuing Hawk Army soldiers couldn’t even fire a shot before being taken down.
Gu Ji lifted his gun, pop-pop, two point shots, habitually finishing off two of them.
"Go!"
The order was so crisp and decisive that even team members Eugen and Ler couldn’t react in time.
They finally took the alley route to the northern main road.
Gu Ji secretly peeked out, the front still raging with artillery fire, about 50 meters ahead, a Sherman Tank, eight Hawk Army soldiers, and the abandoned Hans Army Tiger Tank was roughly ten meters to his right front.
