The 1st and 2nd Battalions of Grossdeutschland, which were waiting for the mechanized reconnaissance company to take action, watched as the mechanized reconnaissance company plunged into the bush where life and death were uncertain. Then they heard gunshots outside the bushes. They all knew that the mechanized reconnaissance company had exchanged fire with French snipers.
The mechanized reconnaissance companies scattered throughout the bush initially remained in groups of three. In this way, we can not only ensure our own safety in an unfamiliar area, but also cooperate with each other. In this kind of area, what is competing is the hard power of snipers on both sides. In this case, both sides have no worries about anyone disturbing their peace. You can implement all the methods you use in your usual training without any scruples. The two sides competed under completely fair conditions. Real soldiers are eager for such a contest, whether it is against the German army or the French army. In this almost semi-closed battlefield, the German and French snipers fought for the first time. Met.
Like the mechanized reconnaissance company, French snipers also ambush dozens of snipers in this small bush. They also cooperated in groups of three, preparing to teach these uninvited guests a lesson. The mechanized reconnaissance company that had just entered the bush area immediately realized the power of this attack. A dozen people were accurately focused on the head and left this world with a look of confusion on their faces. The initial setback made the others more cautious. No one stopped, because that might lead to their own death, but immediately looked for a hidden place to hide, and began to observe where the French sniper might be hiding.
Both sides carefully maintained the current situation and secretly observed each other's actions. At this time, they both knew that shooting hastily without preparation would have disastrous consequences. So I have been restraining my behavior.
Judging from the blows suffered by the mechanized reconnaissance company just after entering the bush area, someone quickly discovered that there were not many French snipers in this bush. Through mutual hand gestures, the mechanized reconnaissance company immediately figured out the number of French snipers.
Knowing the virtual and actual mechanized reconnaissance company of French snipers, what is needed now is to break the current deadlock. The soldiers of the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment have never lacked the courage to sacrifice. Although there are more secure ways, in order to solve the problem as soon as possible, let the 1st and 2nd Battalions of Grossdeutschland launch the attack as soon as possible. The soldiers of the mechanized reconnaissance company were still determined to solve the problem once and for all.
Therefore, it is necessary at this time that some soldiers risk attracting attacks from French snipers. As long as these French snipers hidden in the bushes lose their composure and shoot, they will immediately be counterattacked by several times the firepower, and it is impossible to survive. Come down. Sergeant Regit immediately accepted the task bravely. Although the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment did not want to be like the SS, they were usually taught to do whatever it takes to win, but the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment, which had shouldered the honor of the entire Germany, needed to sacrifice itself. When the time comes, he will never back down.
Sergeant Regit, who was strong and quick-witted, took a deep breath, suddenly jumped out from where he was hiding, and immediately ran to the next place he had calculated in his heart, and kept running. evade to avoid being hit on the head.
"Bang bang..." The French snipers who were always paying attention to the mechanized reconnaissance company, when they saw someone jumping out, someone immediately fired like a conditioned reflex. As soon as someone fired, the rest of the people immediately followed suit one by one. Shoot, but after shooting, they reacted immediately; "What happened..."
"Bang bang..." Sure enough, just after the French fired, they were immediately counterattacked by the German soldiers who heard the gunfire and took the right position. The firepower exceeded their own several times, and several French snipers were killed immediately. . Suddenly, there was loud gunfire in the bushes. Soldiers on both sides greeted each other with rifles in their hands. After the French robbed them, they immediately began to move to another location. However, the soldiers of the mechanized reconnaissance company, who had a numerical advantage, often killed French snipers on the road when they moved. There was a burst of gunfire, and people on both sides continued to be shot and fell to the ground, unable to get up again. With both groups exposed, the French snipers were quickly eliminated. A dozen soldiers from the mechanized reconnaissance company were also shot and killed.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of Grossdeutschland waiting outside heard a burst of gunfire after the soldiers of the mechanized reconnaissance company entered the bushes. Everyone knew that they must have lost their footing and were caught off guard. But after a long time, there was no movement at all, which made them start to think wildly. It was not until the sound of gunfire just came that the soldiers knew that the fighting was still going on.
After dealing with the French sniper, some soldiers immediately ran to see Sergeant Regit, "Sergeant Regit is still alive, send him down quickly!"
one of the soldiers shouted in surprise. The soldiers heard this and immediately rushed Sergeant Reggie out of the bush.
After clearing the French snipers in the bushes, the mechanized reconnaissance company immediately came to the side of the bushes facing Abbeville Port. The company commander, Captain Crabbe, held a telescope and observed the terrain here. The short trees and lawns every hundred meters were trimmed very delicately, with as many as seven or eight in total: "What a great place to kill!" Captain Crabbe muttered, "The real test has just begun now. If it’s because the French didn’t think of it just now, coupled with our numerical advantage, now it’s time to show our true skills!”
"We understand, Captain!" everyone assured.
As Captain Crabbe gave the order to attack, a hundred soldiers jumped out of the bushes and rushed towards the nearest wall of low trees. The soldiers who were still in the bushes used their sniper rifles to aim at any snipers who might appear behind the trees. But something unexpected happened at the first wall of low trees. The expected sniper did not appear.
Captain Crabbe looked at the distance between the bushes and the low tree wall, and understood that this was completely at such a close distance. The sniper would not exert its maximum power at all. On the contrary, it would cause unnecessary shooting because the range was too close. of casualties. The French made a very wise choice. The wall of low trees behind was the main point of contention between the two sides.
Knowing that there were no deadly French snipers ahead, the remaining mechanized reconnaissance company soldiers walked out of the bushes.
Just as Captain Crabbe thought, at the second wall of low trees, the soldiers of the mechanized reconnaissance company did not encounter any decent resistance. The only few French snipers immediately withdrew after firing a few cold shots. Went behind. The mechanized reconnaissance company successfully reached the second wall of low trees. At this time, the duel between snipers really began.
The 100 meters of empty lawn between the two sides is definitely a natural graveyard for offensive forces. No one would be stupid enough to charge directly and let the other party use themselves as a target. If they want to cross here, they must kill all the other party's snipers. Only then can you reach the next low tree wall safely. The soldiers of the mechanized reconnaissance company not only had snipers behind the wall of low trees to support them, because the Mauser 98k sniper rifles in their hands could ensure accurate hits on the head within a range of 300 meters.
The 98k sniper rifle was the standard weapon of German snipers in World War II. In order to avoid losing the resistance after removing the sight, the gun is also equipped with mechanical sights. In production, the best barrels are selected for scoped rifles. The triggers of these rifles are modified to have a trigger force of 1.8kg. A particularly good sniper will need a Mauser 98k rifle with a searchlight and a 6x scope, firing single-shot bullets. As a sniper's auxiliary sight, a periscope sighting device with a mass of 5.6kg consisting of a small periscope and an additional bracket can be installed on the butt of the gun. Such a gun was an improved version of the trench warfare rifle used in World War I.
Although such a battle is boring, it is also very cruel. The loser will pay the price with his life. The sniper must keep a clear mind under any conditions, because they have no chance to make a mistake next time.
Soldiers from the two countries launched a desperate duel along the natural battlefield designed for them by French gardeners. Every time a gunshot rings out, you will be hit by several sniper rifles right where you were hiding. Snipers must not only ensure that they kill the enemy, but also ensure that they can survive.
Bang bang...
Shoot, move. Shoot again, move again, until you are dead. With the sound of gunshots, one soldier after another arrives. No matter whether they regret not killing an enemy before they die, they have done their last for their motherland.
The third wall of low trees, the fourth, the fifth... the soldiers of the mechanized reconnaissance company, every time they took a step forward, a dozen of their comrades would fall in a pool of blood and never stand up again. Everyone suppressed their grief and then devoted themselves to this life-and-death war, because they could not let their partners sacrifice in vain.
After two hours of duel, the mechanized reconnaissance company soldiers finally eliminated all the French snipers lurking in these low walls. The port of Abbeville finally appeared in front of the soldiers of the mechanized reconnaissance company. Now that their mission was completed, they paid a heavy price. Eighty-seven soldiers were killed, and 133 French snipers were also killed. this. Over a distance of more than 500 meters, the bodies of more than 200 soldiers lay scattered. Whether they are hostile or not, they have shed their last drop of blood for their motherland.
