Battle of the Third Reich

v6 Chapter 174: By the ancient spring (middle)

The Arabian horse jumped up the towering sand dunes, and an ancient desert post suddenly appeared in front of the knight. The Ottoman-style dome is half buried in the yellow sand, but the stone walls surrounding the courtyard with exquisite castellations and only half of the brick and wood lookouts still show the world the strength of the empire.

The Arabian nobleman stood on the sand dune, looking down at the destination of the trip, and after confirming that there was nothing strange, he shook his rein and drove the horse towards the main entrance of the post.

His group of loyal guards did not dare to let their masters take risks. Even if his highness hurt a hair, everyone here might lose his head. So several loyal Bedouin guards lashed hard and rushed to the front of the nobleman. Even if they might be scolded for this, they should also protect the safety of this lord.

This act of loyalty did indeed allow the nobles they protected to escape. At that time, no one knew that they had entered the German fire circle.

Facts have proved that the camouflage effect of the new German desert uniform is very good. Until the Germans opened fire, the Arab cavalry did not find the ambush in the trenches tens of meters away.

The first shot was shot by Randolph. He excitedly pulled the trigger of the submachine gun and fired a beautiful burst. The bullets swept through the cavalry queue, and three horses were turned to the ground on the spot. The immediate knight was slammed on the sand under the precaution, and two of them immediately disappeared. The surviving Bedouin warrior really didn't know if he should be considered lucky. He rolled his hands on the sand with his hands covering his hips, obviously hurting the vital parts.

But this poor guy soon stopped worrying about the rest of his life, because when he turned over and screamed in the sky, a panicked Arabian warhorse stepped on his face.

Under Randolph's leadership, the Germans entered a crazy shooting time. All the outstanding shooters were on the scene. Even the pilot Lieutenant Krieger also won the shooting trophy in the squadron.

The German folk has always retained the ancestors' spirit of martial arts, especially the family of military generations for generations. The boys in the family often start receiving military education at an early age, and look forward to their continuation of the honor of their parents. This is the case with Krieger's family. Although their name does not include Feng of the Junker nobility, and there have not been a few high-ranking officers, they can not wipe out the family's desire for military merit and honor.

Krieger's family originally intended him to apply to the Army Officer School. Unexpectedly, he secretly reported to the Air Force Flight School without his family. At that time, there was a big disturbance. The Air Force Lieutenant loved to listen to the stories of those Sky Riders in World War I. He had long been determined to become an ace pilot. Now that his biggest goal in life has been achieved, he will wait to return to his hometown to get married.

The German ambush was very successful. The Arab cavalry suffered heavy losses in an instant. Seven of the twenty-one rides were killed instantly. The cavalry was wiped out by a third. The rest hurriedly drove the mount to panic escape, and several of them were still injured. The nobleman lost his usual grace. He lashed his beloved horse like crazy and ran in the direction of his coming.

The German army was in a mess in front of its temporary position. The body of a horse outside the trench 50 meters before the trench hung up, and the painful hiss of the injured horse echoed in the air. Two grey-sword sergeants jumped out of the trenches with rifles. They shot and killed the seriously wounded horses first, ending the pain of these elegant animals, and then picked a relatively well-dressed Bedouin samurai body, two Individual efforts dragged it back into the trench.

"He should look like an officer. Look at this dagger. If you take it to Berlin, you can sell it for at least one hundred marks." Sergeant Grimlock pulled the Arabic dagger from the corpse's belt and pointed to the beautifully carved ivory handle. To.

"There are no documents or maps on the body. Let me see what is in the shoulder bag." Jurgen searched the body of the body skillfully. The former Gestapo, out of professional habits, also took various small objects found on the body. Things are sorted into neat codes on the sand.

"It's shredded tobacco. It smells good. This guy is an expert." Horn opened a small leather pocket and snatched a handful of shredded shredded tobacco from inside.

"There is not much money in the wallet, but some nickel coins from Egypt and Turkey." Jurgen loosened the leather **** the purse and poured the coins into his palm.

Saudi Arabia has not yet issued national currency at this time. The Arabian Peninsula still circulates coins issued by the old Ottoman Empire and Egypt, and of course, banknotes from various European countries. In the past, the most popular was the British pound, because it can be used to buy food and weapons from the British. Some time ago, because Germany won the United Kingdom, the German mark has become popular in the Gulf countries.

"This is not an officer, just a soldier with a relatively high status." After examining the dead man's shoulder bag, Jurgen came to this conclusion that disappointed everyone.

"I don't know the identity of these guys yet, but I can be sure that they have now become our enemies." Captain Horne said. He found that a large number of trekking soldiers were climbing over the huge dune in the distance.

"They were not our friends originally." Major Jurgen said to Horn.

"You're right, Major, these people are not our friends." Sergeant Merkel picked up his sniper rifle and placed it on the chest wall raised by the trench.

"One hundred and fifty to two hundred people, without a uniform, should be the private army of a certain tribe, but I don't know which tribe is near here. It's really hell. We just missed a big fish." Merkel suddenly Shouted excitedly: "The cavalry in the middle of the white robe should be the commander of this army. If we just killed this guy, they should have fallen into chaos now."

"It's more likely that the whole group rushed over to seek your revenge. You don't understand these Arab customs at all." Jurgen said calmly, **** the back cover of the grenade slowly in his hand.

"Note, gentlemen, the enemy is now preparing for the offensive." Randolph held the telescope in his hand, a rare serious expression on his face.

"We don't have a lot of ammunition, so we have to save money and try to eliminate an enemy with one bullet." Randolph handed the telescope to Jurgen around him.

"They are equipped with cavalry, and I don't know if there is any follow-up reinforcement behind these people. We have no retreat, gentlemen." Horne pointed out the grim facts, although everyone knows it, but someone must say it publicly. .

The Arabs are equipped with cavalry, which means that the Germans have lost the opportunity to escape and cannot escape the chasing of the cavalry with two legs in the desert. The only thing the Germans can do now is to defend their positions, kill the enemy as much as possible, and delay the fighting time.

This is a decision to survive. Everyone pins their hopes on the search troops sent by Germany to find them before the post falls. Although this hope seems very slim now, but none of the people present are honest and willing to lose, until the last minute, don't want to shake their confidence in survival.

Randolph is one of the biggest optimists. He is famous for his extraordinarily big nerves when he is next to the head of state. An apostle sent by God, a **** walking on earth.

The Germans rearranged their positions, and the infantry on the opposite side also launched a tide-like attack, and the ancient spring water once again sounded the crisp and dense sound of mp submachine guns.
