Chapter 21 The best is not the most suitable



Chapter 21 The best is not the most suitable
Walking to the head of the Langham Bridge, Ryan went to report to Corporal Hansen who was in charge of guarding the bridge. The other paratroopers looked at Captain Miller and his group of seven with delighted eyes. They all thought that Captain Miller This squad is the reinforcements that arrived earlier, and the reinforcements of the large force means that they are already on their way.

Lebin took a few steps forward and whispered to Captain Miller, "Captain, our mission is to find Ryan and bring him back safely!"

"Lebin," Captain Miller replied in a low voice, "I know what our mission is, everyone rests on the spot, and we will set off to return in an hour!"

Rebin gave a rare embarrassed smile. He was very worried that Captain Miller would take over the defense of the bridge. What are you kidding? There is only such a small manpower left in such an unsafe place. The reconnaissance team can dispatch two half-track vehicles, which means that the German army coming later must be a mixed formation of infantry and tanks equipped with tanks. To capture this bridge, it is completely a crushing strength advantage.

If you really want to face this situation, Leibin believes that the safest way is to blow up the Langham Bridge and defend it across the river!

Sergeant Howard gathered the crowd together and rested on the spot, while Captain Miller greeted Corporal Hansen and Ryan who came over, and prepared to tell the truth.

Lei Rui opened his backpack and took out his C combat ration. Jason asked him strangely, "Lei, what time is it? Are you ready to eat?"

"Didn't the captain say that we will leave in an hour?" Lei Rui asked back, "I have to hurry, so how can I stop for a meal? It's better to fill my stomach first and hurry later. By the way, there are There is no cooking pot or anything, this cold guy is really unbearable to eat."

What he was talking about was the luncheon meat in the C combat ration. The quota for this stuff is quite sufficient, and the protein and fat provided are sufficient. Grease, it tastes really greasy. I can't blame these American soldiers for hating this stuff, but are eager for the canned vegetables and potatoes of German soldiers.

After many years of war, Germany's material supply capacity has been greatly reduced. Although the quota of combat rations distributed to front-line soldiers has not been reduced, the supply of meat and fat has been greatly reduced, and the ration of potatoes and vegetables has been increased accordingly. .

"Why are you looking for a pot? Are you still planning to light a fire and cook?" Rebin turned his head and asked strangely.

Lei Rui shrugged his shoulders and replied: "It's easier if you have a pot. You can make a hot pot of meat, vegetable and potato soup, and eat bread with the hot soup. Isn't it very pleasant?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and Lebin was the first to react and shouted loudly: "Damn it, Ray! You're making me drool! What are you waiting for? Let's find the pot and start working!"

When it comes to eating, especially the steaming stew of meat, vegetables and potatoes, everyone cheers up. Even Sergeant Howard stands up and calls everyone in pairs to go to the abandoned buildings in the town Search and search inside, if there is a complete kitchen, it will be easy to handle, just collect the wooden boards that can light the fire, and then you can start working.

Lei Rui and Jason got into the building on the left side of Central Street. You don't need to look at the second floor. Generally, if there is a kitchen, it must be on the first floor.

After searching the first room, the two found nothing. Jason was a little disappointed, thinking that he was also yearning for the steaming stewed meat, vegetable and potato soup described by Lei Rui.

From boarding the LCM landing craft to now, in fact, no one has had a sip of hot soup. Even American soldiers like Jason have been accustomed to eating cold food, eating bread, and drinking milk since childhood, but they can’t stand the cold fat in luncheon meat. It is definitely a very tempting expectation to be able to eat a hot hodgepodge.

Lei Rui smiled and told him, don't worry, then changed the subject and asked Jason, "Jason, if you choose, in the case of a mixed formation of German infantry and tanks coming to attack, which one is better, this town or the bridgehead?" Position to maximize your sniper power?"

"The tower over there!" Jason replied without hesitation, and pointed to the direction on the right, "The outline of the tower remains intact, and it is the highest commanding height in the vicinity. It has a wide view and is easy to hide. It is the most suitable as a sniper position. But that’s it.”

Seeing Lei Rui shaking his head in front of him, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why, Lei, what do you think differently?"

"Yes, it is indeed a good sniper position, but I don't think it is the most suitable!" Lei Rui replied.

While the two were talking, they walked into the next building. Jason pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement and replied, "Well, it is indeed a bit flawed. The sniper position is not easy to move. This is a problem."

"This is just a problem, not the most important thing," Lei Rui explained, "Think about it, if you are a German commander, for your own safety, you must command the accompanying infantry and tanks to cooperate with each other in the tank, right? Then he must not be completely retracted into the tortoise's shell like a tortoise, but to observe the situation on the battlefield from the hatch of the tank. Tell me, what is he most afraid of at this time?"

"Sniper!" Jason grasped the key at once.

"Yes! The German commander must be most worried about our snipers." Lei Rui continued, "Then when he launches an attack, he will see the only commanding height in this small town at first sight. The tower, think about it, will he order the tanks to shoot at the first time, and blow up the tower to avoid future troubles?"

hiss!
Jason gasped, feeling the cold air on the back of his neck.

If he was in the sniper position of the tower, he would definitely not be the first to shoot, knocking out the German commander first, in order to avoid alarming the enemy, and then he could only watch the main gun of the German tank rise slowly and aim at the tower Come over with a cannonball.

In that case, he has no way to escape, only a dead end!
The tanks of the German army in this area must be Tigers. Whether it is the early Tigers or the later improved Tigers, it is equipped with an 88mm main gun. Only one shot is enough to blast the tower into a pile of dust!
The tower, as the only commanding height in this ruined town, is indeed a good place for sniping and a good place for keeping a lookout, but it is precisely because of this that it has become the top priority for the German army to solve. In other words, it doesn't cost anything, it's just a shot from the tank's main gun!

The location is excellent, the target is obvious, the cost is almost 0, and it can also achieve the effect of deterrence, why not do it?
Jason walked behind Lei Rui, standing in the perspective of the German commander, thinking so in his heart.
