Infantry Corporal Colvin knelt on one leg beside the flower bed, and behind the fence of the flower bed squatted the remaining seven men in his class. The sergeant felt a little nervous. He loosened his right hand holding the submachine gun grip, stretched his fingers a few times, and then wiped the sweat in his palms on the trouser legs of the military trousers.

This is not the first time he has served as a vanguard task. Kirvin, who is flexible and skilled, is very much appreciated by the commander. In the French campaign, the leader, guard, and flanking reconnaissance, what troublesome errand platoon leader first thought of him. Because of this, he was able to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to a sergeant squad leader in just one year. And there is news that he may be promoted to the next level after the end of the battle, and there are rumors that he may receive an Iron Cross medal and a divisional award.

Colvin looked back at the squad leader across the street, and after exchanging glances with the other party, he nodded to the rear, indicating that everything was ready. The platoon leader squatted next to the stairs of an apartment and waved his arms forward. The German infantry of the two squads were on both sides of the street and began to move forward quickly.

Colvin has participated in dozens of village and town attack battles, and also participated in the final sweeping street battle in Dover. In his eyes, this block is indeed a suitable place for ambush. He has made full psychological preparations for a battle. Bloody street fighting.

The platoon leaders had no objection to the decision of Company Commander Sauer. At this time, no more care could be taken. The Germans decisively sent two squads of infantry as the vanguards, and searched along the street in a combat formation. .

Now they are still not sure if there are enemy guards here. If they are not, of course they are all happy, but if the British army really set up a defense line here, the Germans will certainly not be afraid of this kind of trouble. They are only worried that they will spend too much here. time.

Based on past combat experience, this kind of community was encountered. The best way is to launch a pincer attack from both wings, and use mobile infantry teams to disperse the enemy's resistance to fire and deploy armored vehicles or tanks to break through the enemy's flanking defenses. As long as a gap is opened, everything else is easy to handle. Just follow the steps written in the combat manual. Divide the enemy's positions, suppress the enemy's firepower, and finally concentrate your own troops to clear the remaining enemies one by one.

But in this place, there is no room for this set of tactics, because the special terrain restricts the maneuverability of the troops. Around this is a large residential area. There is no other roundabout route except for the main road in the middle.

"Go forward. Keep up, come on!" Kirwin Ping, carrying his submachine gun, began to move quickly along the ramp. This street is the same as other main roads in London. There are only two narrow lanes. The sidewalk left for pedestrians is less than half a meter wide, and it is also occupied by many steps, small flower beds and lampposts at the entrance of the apartment along the street.

Colvin's infantry squad plus exactly eight of him, the squad leader and deputy squad plus three machine gun groups and three riflemen There were originally ten people. As a result, one rifleman received a cold shot outside Dover City, and the other was opened by a British bayonet during a field encounter. In the past, such combat downsizing. The superior will soon dispatch additional troops to keep them full, perhaps this time because the troops have been moving. Colvin's infantry squad has not been supplemented by personnel until now.

"Pay attention to those windows." Infantry Corporal whispered to the soldier behind him. He moved forward with his weapon on his waist and the soldiers followed with their equipment. After striking forward for almost twenty meters, Kirwin stopped at the step in front of the door of an apartment.

"Stop, the machine gun comes over here, everyone is on alert." Corwin set his back against the protruding step and gave orders to his subordinates. Then he waved to the second shift across the street and went back. Wearing a submachine gun began to provide cover for the movement of friendly forces.

This is the existing German infantry street combat tactics. The command manual issued by the headquarters has a large amount of information on how to ensure the safe movement of troops in this community street environment.

Infantry generally take a single column and move closely to the sides of the street. If the force permits, troops can be set up on both sides of the street. Shielding forwards alternately one after the other, so that soldiers only need to defend the area on their sides and directly in front of them, and hand over the alert task above their heads to friendly forces, which can reduce the soldiers' great combat pressure.

The German machine gun is the core of the entire infantry combat. Most of the tactics are formulated around the machine gun. The German combat philosophy is everywhere reflected in street fighting.

The machine gunner steadily stepped forward with the mg34, opened the folding tripod, and placed the machine gun between the fences of the apartment steps. The assistant shooter and the ammunition hand were crouched on both sides of him, and squad leader Colvin stood behind the machine gunner, holding The telescope began to observe the alert.

The infantry of the second squadron moved quickly along the street. Due to the obstacles of flower beds and steps, a group of soldiers voluntarily ran out of a series of s-shaped trajectories. Colvin’s men couldn’t help but smile, and these guys forgot When they moved before, it was actually that look.

Before waiting for Colvin's horse to converge on the smile on his face, a burst of gunshots suddenly sounded, and a little bit of gray smoke rose on the asphalt road around the second queue across the street. It was a bullet that broke the road. The dust and debris exploded at the time, and the steel-core armored warhead fell like raindrops, hitting Mars on the sidewalk of the stone road. The deputy squad leader at the beginning of the second squad and the machine gunner behind him fell onto the pavement, and blood spewed out from under their bodies, instantly staining a large area of ​​ground.

"Attention! There are enemies!"

"where is it?"

"hidden!"

"Under that flower bed, fire! Kill the bastard." Colvin found the firepower elaborately disguised by the British army, and he roared with frustration in the direction of the target.

Kirwin Ban’s machine gunner Max is a lively guy. He has a lot of friends in the platoon. He and the machine gunner of the second shift have a special affinity. It is considered to be an intimate relationship. He has witnessed the death of his friend. This cheerful young man Enraged, he pulled the gun bolt fiercely and began to fire at the flower bed pointed out by the monitor.

The terrible rate of fire of the German machine gun is a nightmare for all enemies. The British infantry has been deeply touched by this. Now in the face of this kind of terrorist weapon that can’t tell where the point of the gunshot splits when shooting continuously, the brave The British machine gunner had only one Buren with half of the magazines in his hands. Undoubtedly, the battle immediately became a unilateral crush.

The German machine gunner instantly suppressed the firepower of the British army. The surviving soldiers of the second squadron took this gap and began to evacuate with the wounded. At least two soldiers were seriously injured and completely lost their ability to move without the help of their comrades. They simply cannot leave the danger zone.

"Pay attention to the opposite roof!" a rifleman shouted, raising his rifle and shooting at the pointed roof diagonally opposite. Colvin quickly looked up, but found no trace of the enemy.

"Hiding behind the chimney is a rifleman." The German soldiers continued to shout.

"Kill him and use a grenade." Colvin ordered.

One of the riflemen took out the grenade launcher from the leather box behind his waist. He skillfully twisted the bolt to fix the iron pipe to the muzzle. The soldier then groped a few times in a canvas grenade bag and pulled out a beige shell to kill the grenade.

He unscrewed the fuse shell outside the warhead, exposing the inside fuze fuse, and then carefully inserted the slender grenade into the launch tube.

"Aim point, rest assured, we have suppressed him." The comrades encouraged aside, and the two riflemen had already pressed the British soldiers behind the chimney.

"It's okay." The soldier withdrew the bullet in the barrel and pulled out an empty bullet from the bullet bag and tucked it into the magazine, pushing the bolt smoothly. The launcher adjusted the firing angle a little, then pulled the trigger. After a dull gurgle, an anti-personnel grenade flew out of the muzzle and a cloud of smoke exploded from the roof near the chimney.

After a few seconds, a crippled human body fell down from behind the chimney, he slid down a few meters on the ridge, and then fell down from the eaves, hitting the body on the stairs in front of the apartment, German The rifleman fired several shots at the figure in a row, until it was confirmed that the opponent was dead, and then stopped shooting.
