Crisis Management Game

In an instant.

The Tiger and Sherman fired almost simultaneously.

Gu Ji first felt a buzzing sound coming from the barrel, and the shells were fired. The next second, a ball of sparks burst out from the right side of the fort, and Sherman's shells flew out against the armor of the fort.

Eugen's shell hit Sherman's side corner.

The Tiger's armor-piercing projectile has a muzzle velocity of at least 600m/s, which is enough to easily penetrate any armor within 90mm within 100 meters.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, through the observation window, Gu Ji saw a deep pit in the lower left front area of ​​the Sherman tank, and the track was completely broken.

Leer's shouting came from the cab.

"It's wrong, Eugen! How do I usually teach you?"

"Sorry sir, I'm too excited!"

For a teenager who is only 17 or 18 years old, it is a very rare opportunity to personally control a Tiger turret to fight enemy tanks.

Leer sounded like he hated iron.

"The gunner's job is a delicate operation. You must calm down as soon as possible. First control the hydraulic press, then move the steering wheel. The loader immediately prepares ammunition..."

"Yes, sir!"

Eugen responded and started turning the hydraulic wheel with his left hand as instructed.

Gu Ji, who was sitting in the commander's seat, also glanced at it, which was regarded as "stealing".

The control handwheels of Tiger tanks are divided into two types: electronic control and mechanical.

The latter relies on gears to amplify torque and rotates at a very slow speed. It is generally only used as a backup when the power system fails.

The electronic control is a hydraulic drive and steering gear. The hydraulic power provides a large amount of power and can move the turret quickly, but it can only make rough adjustments to the orientation.

Such rough adjustments cannot guarantee good shooting accuracy.

Therefore, when the gunner aims at the target, he usually uses the hydraulic system to adjust the turret orientation to a certain approximate position, and then uses the direction machine handwheel to make fine adjustments. For each turn, the turret will rotate 0.9°.

The sound of the fort's mechanical rotation can make people's blood rush.

"Loading complete!"

"Eugen, hurry! Elevation angle -2 degrees, 12 o'clock direction!"

Leer is indeed an experienced gunner. Even sitting in the cab, he can judge the attack data based on the observation window.

Eugen quickly turned the steering wheel with his right hand and shouted loudly: "Go to hell!"

The barrel vibrated.

Boom, the Sherman tank exploded in response, flames shot into the sky, scattered metal fragments and crumbling earth were sprayed in all directions, with faint screams.

"I succeeded! I succeeded!"

Eugen clenched his fists excitedly.

Gu Ji, on the other hand, pushed open the driver's window, leaned out halfway, and lay down behind a curved bunker made of iron armor and sandbags. "Chief Leer, we have to rush over to support. Another Tiger The posture won’t last long!”

"Sit tight! Let's go!"

Leer gave an order and stepped on the pedal. Everything around him was quickly filled with the roar of the engine. The tracks crushed the gravel on the ground and rushed out, as if he had really turned into a tiger.

Gu Ji took out the anti-aircraft machine gun hanging on the simple pivot on the hatch of the commander's cabin. The movable angle of the machine gun in the turret cabin was too small, and it was always limited by the muzzle turning. It was more flexible to shoot outside the turret. .

This is the latest MG42 developed by Hans. It is an advanced version of the MG34 machine gun. It has a simpler structure and lower cost, but it has excellent performance. It is the fastest machine gun in World War II, with a rate of fire of up to 1,200 per minute. ~1500 rounds/minute, known as "Hitler's chainsaw".

However, this kind of anti-aircraft machine gun is almost useless against air units, and is more used against ground troops and unarmored targets.

Soon, Leer drove the Tiger from the main road on the north side to the intersection.

At this moment, the central fountain square has been damaged by artillery fire, the flower beds were shattered into powder, and the ground was uneven.

Under the siege of three Shermans, the front armor of the Tiger tank was twisted into waves, almost crumbling.

"Prepare to engage the enemy!!"

Gu Ji's eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

After discovering the target, he immediately yelled.

Boom, Eugen hit a shell from the side, and a Sherman tank lost its mobility on the spot.

He decisively pulled the trigger. Under the super high rate of fire of MG42, the bullets were densely packed like a death ray, giving the Eagle soldiers no chance to react.

As clouds of blood mist exploded, an armored team with infantry and tank coordination only lasted half a minute before being captured by them.

Gu Ji had to lament the horror of heavy firepower again.

In the face of such artillery fire and machine guns, no matter what tactics you have, it will be in vain.

The remaining Sherman tank wanted to retreat, but the other Tiger seemed to have no intention of letting it go. In the end, the gunner seized the opportunity and blew it up in the middle of the Southern Avenue.

Come on...

Leer drove the Tiger tank slowly westward. The gun-gray metal tracks completely ignored the potholes left by the battlefield and flattened the soil of one ruin after another.

Eugen seemed to have learned what Gu Ji had done before, manipulating the fort's machine gun and firing wildly at the screaming Eagle Army in the distance.

The two Tiger tanks finally met on the west side street.

The commander's circular hatch was opened, and a middle-aged officer wearing a brimmed hat, a gray-green suit, and a black Iron Cross hanging on his collar came out.

His sharp face and deep nasolabial folds gave him a sense of smoke and a bit more majesty.

"Why is he a private, our commander?"

"Sir, my superior has sacrificed his life for the empire. The team is a temporary assembly, and the tank was just snatched. The current highest officer is Sergeant Leer, and he is in the cab!"

Gu Ji saluted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the cockpit door under the turret was opened. Leer got his head out and said with difficulty:

"Reporting to Lieutenant, I am the gunner Leer of the 15th Armored Division. Our team was destroyed by the enemy on the East Coast Highway. When we retreated to the Reese neighborhood, we fortunately met Hermann of the 29th Armored Division. He saved us. It was also his idea to risk taking the tank."

Gu Ji couldn't help but glance down at Leer.

Unexpectedly, this middle-aged uncle would take the initiative to mention him first instead of taking the credit for himself.

Hearing that these things were all done by an ordinary private, a trace of surprise flashed across the face of the lieutenant officer and he nodded:

"Hermann, your performance is very good. I will explain these achievements to the higher-ups. My name is Luca. I am the commander of the No. 12 tank of the 1st Guards Standard Armored Division. Since you do not have a commander, let's go ahead for the time being. Follow me!"

"Yes, sir!"

The first person to answer turned out to be Eugen who emerged from the gunner's hatch.

No wonder he was so excited.

The 1st SS Armored Division was one of the earliest armed SS units formed by Reeve Lechter. It was known for its brutal efficiency and bravery in combat. It was a famous first-class ace division in World War II.

at this point.

It can be seen from the many iron rings and chains hanging on Luca's Tiger tank.

An iron ring means they destroyed a tank.

It was precisely because the 1st Guards Banner Armored Division withdrew from the eastern battlefield to support the South-South Outer Islands that it indirectly led to the defeat of the Hans Army in the Battle of Kursk. Its importance is evident.

But Gu Ji didn't want to follow him.

The state that Luka showed was that he was obviously a brave officer. If the other party wanted to lead them to the front line, wouldn't they rush to death?

Just as he was thinking about how to influence the other party's decision-making.

Rumble…

There was a sharp roar of engines in the sky.

Looking at a chubby military green propeller fighter in the sky swooping down, it is the famous P-47 Thunder fighter of the Eagle Army!

"It's an enemy fighter plane!!"

Gu Ji yelled and hurriedly urged Leer to leave.

Luca took a look through the binoculars and saw several motorcycles on the main road to the east.

"The damn fool of Rome actually lured the Eagle Army fighter planes to his home base. Go to the west side and find shelter in the ruins!"

At the command, the two Tigers stepped on the accelerator and started driving westward.

But Luca's tank suffered too much shelling, and the deformed deck hindered the operation of the tracks, causing a serious drop in speed.

In less than two minutes, the team was chased by Roman motorized infantry.

The so-called motorcycle infantry is a three-wheeled motorcycle towing a rear bucket equipped with a light machine gun or an anti-tank gun. Because it lacks a heavy armor burden, it is extremely maneuverable.

But no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than a fighter jet.

It only took half a second for the Eagle Thunderbolt fighter to press up from behind and circle above their heads.

I guess the pilot himself didn't even think of it.

Originally they were just chasing a motorized unit, but ended up buying one, getting one free, and also discovered two Hans Army tanks.

The next moment, the fighter planes began to dive down.

Da da da……

Two 12.7mm M2 Browning heavy machine guns fired at the same time, and the firepower was very terrifying.

A Roman motorcycle infantry barely had time to react before his neck was broken by a bullet. Blood spurted out like a column. The motorcycle even hit the wall uncontrollably and exploded on the spot.

Seeing their companions being slaughtered, the Roman soldiers kept shouting for help.

But Gu Ji had already gotten back into the cannon.

joke.

Whoever dares to show his head at this time will die.

In an instant, all seven or eight Roman motorcycle infantry units were killed, leaving only one that escaped into the alley next to it.

Therefore, Gu Ji's Tiger tank became the main target of fighter planes.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

Even though he was hiding in the turret, Gu Ji could still clearly hear the sound of bullets hitting his head and behind. The next moment, a huge explosion resounded in the left front of the tank, and all the soil kicked up by the shock wave fell on the tracks and On the side armor.

Leer gritted his teeth.

"It's an external rocket launcher!"

"The observation window was shattered and I can't see clearly..."

Eugen shouted nervously, while Apu huddled in the corner of the ammunition room holding his head.

The Tiger commanded by Luca was even more terrible. Under continuous machine gun fire, the track was finally overwhelmed and broke on the spot. After missing a "leg", its moving speed became even slower. With a bang, it was blown up by a rocket. In the middle of the avenue.

Gu Ji knew that it would be his turn soon.

My eyes kept checking the surrounding environment through the commander's observation window, but I couldn't find a passage that could accommodate a big guy like the Tiger.

The next rocket launcher landed.

Gu Ji saw a collapsed ruined building in front of him on the left. He couldn't care less about life and death.

"Sir, drive into the ruins on the right front!"

Leer had no time to ask, so he could only turn the steering wheel and slam the accelerator into the cracks in the ruins. The vibration caused a secondary collapse, and a large amount of rubble fell down, burying them inside.

…

…

"The fighter plane has gone far."

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Gu Ji's ears left the armor. He had the mark bonus of improved hearing, so it was easy to determine the location of the sound source of a fighter jet.

Apu hid underneath, his throat was stuck, and he swallowed.

"Indeed, are you sure? Why don't you wait any longer?"

"Why are you so cowardly? You are such an embarrassment to the soldiers of Hans' Will Empire!"

Eugen, who was the same age as him, couldn't stand it and cursed on the spot.

Gu Ji shook his head.

"We can't wait any longer. The pilot knows our approximate location. If we continue to drag us, we will still be surrounded by the Eagle Army's ground troops."

As he said that, he tried to push the long hatch of the car hard, but it still didn't move at all, and the inside of the turret was also dark.

"The hatch cannot be opened at all, which means we are buried quite deep. Chief Leer, can we still drive out in this situation?"

"It's possible to go back the way we came."

Leer responded and restarted the engine.

The Maybach high-speed gasoline engine used in the Tiger tank has a maximum horsepower of 690 horsepower, but it is too heavy to support its own weight and lacks traction.

When I stepped on the accelerator, the car body moved back a few inches, and then stopped moving.

Gu Ji vaguely heard the sound of rolling stones, just like when he was drilling the mud tunnel in Jinyuan Building.

His eyes lit up.

"Sir, try to move the car slightly to the left and right and reverse it. This will allow you to use the rocks to slide and reduce resistance."

"Let me try!"

Lehr did it his way.

Not to mention it was really effective, as I watched the car body retreat step by step, there was a "crash" and light came in through the observation window.

It's finally out!

Excited, Eugen opened the gunner's cabin door. Just as he was about to observe the surrounding environment, he suddenly found a figure running in front of him.

"There is an enemy..."

"It's Lieutenant Luca."

Gu Ji squinted his eyes and saw Luca, with his forehead bleeding, running towards him holding an exquisite automatic rifle.

That's right.

It's a real automatic rifle: the StG-44 assault rifle!

It is the world's first large-scale automatic rifle. It combines the performance characteristics of a rifle and a submachine gun, and its continuous firepower is very fierce within a range of 400 meters.

Gu Ji took the initiative to open the commander's hatch and let Luca get in.

No one seemed to expect that the lieutenant could survive the explosion of the rocket, so they didn't speak, and the atmosphere was awkward.

It was Gu Ji who reacted first:

"Lieutenant Luca, the others..."

"The rocket launcher hit the side armor of the cockpit. The driver, loader, and radio operator died on the spot. The gunner and I escaped, but unfortunately we were hit by the fighter's cannon."

Even this iron-blooded officer of the ace unit could not hide the sadness in his heart at this moment. His comrade who had fought together for many years died on a battlefield in a foreign land. It was not a pleasant feeling.

After a moment of silence, Luka readjusted himself.

"How did you escape the enemy plane attack?"

"It's all thanks to Herman."

The fall of the ace unit made Eugen admire Gu Ji even more, so he proudly answered.

Luka looked at Gu Ji again, more seriously than before.

"It seems that the 29th Division has a talent. If we can survive this battle, why don't we call the 1st Guard Flag Team to follow me."

"It's an honor, Lieutenant."

Gu Ji first said "sincerely", and then took the opportunity to express his own analysis:

"However, the counterattack of the Fog Eagle Alliance is more fierce than imagined. We must seize the time to contact the headquarters and assemble the troops as soon as possible. We are in such a state of disarray that we cannot resist for long!"

He remembered one of the reasons for the failure of the South-South Foreign War:

It was because Hans and the senior Roman commanders had different opinions, uncoordinated actions, and dispersed the main force that they were defeated one by one by the Fog Eagle coalition.

Obviously, this passage once again attracted Luka's attention.

"Where's the wireless operator?"

"I-I'm here, Lieutenant."

Apu timidly raised his hands under the shaft.

"Contact the headquarters immediately to confirm the closest distance of the large force!"

"Unfortunately, Lieutenant, the radio equipment of this tank has long been broken..."

"Damn it!"

Gu Ji secretly observed Luka's expression and added fuel to the flames:

"Lieutenant, in that case, let's move northwest. My 29th Armored Division is near Mount Rutana."

"That's all we can do for the time being."

Luca made up his mind, "Now the team is temporarily under my command, Herman will be the machine gunner, and the rest of the team will remain unchanged. The target is Mount Rutana, and we will set off immediately!"

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Leer drove the tank up the main road on the west side.

After reaching the heights of the town, Gu Ji finally saw the coastline and the endless Mediterranean Sea through the observation window.

The battle situation on the coast also made everyone dumbfounded.

Three aircraft carriers, six Eagle Mist Alliance battleships, and countless attack ships were shelling wildly on the shore. A fire broke out where the water and the land met, as if a volcano had erupted from the sea. Hundreds of Hans Roman and Roman tanks littered the beach like a group of beached turtles.

This means that the defense of the eastern area of ​​Nannan Outer Island has been completely defeated.

The urban battlefield is also not optimistic.

Half of the white statue of the Goddess of Peace standing in the square in front was blown off, and the ground was covered with charred and mutilated corpses. On the loudspeakers on both sides of the street, in addition to the beeps of air raid sirens, there were also warnings to remind civilians to evacuate:

"All civilians, please rest assured that the soldiers of the motherland will give priority to protecting you from the war zone safely..."

Faintly, Gu Ji heard the woman's scream for life and the child's cry. He subconsciously thought of the pairs of eyes that had been hiding in the rubble.

Luca and Eugen had disbelief on their faces at first;

Then comes anger;

In the end, it became a loss.

1943 was the year when the Hansi Army deteriorated overall.

…

…

The urban area of ​​the island will definitely not be too big.

It took less than twenty minutes for the tank to leave the town.

After entering the mountain forest.

Looking around, you can see large emerald green olive and citrus tree branches intertwined with each other. The spreading branches and leaves are like green clouds, completely covering the blue sky.

If it weren't for the gunfire coming from the woods, this would definitely be a beautiful sight.

Eugen began to panic in his heart.

"Why can I still hear gunshots when I walk here? Has the Fog Eagle Alliance already attacked Monsi?"

Monsina is the northernmost city on the South-South Outer Islands and the only throat connecting the Roman mainland.

Once the Allied forces captured Montecina, it would mean the complete occupation of the South-South outer islands. Then they would be trapped in the center, pitiful, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"I-were we abandoned?"

Apu's lips trembled.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Even Leer in the cab put away the accelerator, seeming to have lost the will to continue moving forward.

Seeing this, Luca immediately turned off the rifle's safety.

"Shut up! Whoever shakes the morale of the army again, I will shoot him with one shot!"

"Wait a minute, there seems to be movement ahead!"

Gu Jichu was at the machine gun observation port when he suddenly noticed that the grass in the forest area ahead seemed to be shaking. He took a closer look and saw a figure carrying a green thing like a gun barrel sticking out.

"Get out of the way! It's a bazooka!!"

laugh--!

After all, he shouted a step slower. As a large amount of exhaust smoke rose, a burst of fire screamed and hit the left front of the tank. Boom, splashing mud and violent explosions tore the body of the Tiger tank. .

Gu Ji instantly locked onto the target based on the smoke.

The trigger pulls.

The MG34 machine gun swept across instantly, and blood arrows flew.

Eugen also fired a cannonball, and the fire caused by the explosion ignited the trees, and there were bursts of screams.

Leer stepped on the accelerator, trying to get away from the battlefield quickly.

But there was a sudden "bang" sound on the left side, as if the grip was lost.

Leer immediately shouted below:

"The left track is broken!"

"Prepare to abandon the car."

Luca made a decisive decision based on the situation. Now that the tank had lost power and the number of enemies was unknown, abandoning the vehicle and fleeing was the best option.

Gu Ji shouted while pulling the trigger.

"I'll cover you! Let's go!"

In an instant.

Luca, Ler, Eugen, and Apu were all stunned. They didn't expect Gu Ji to be so brave.

You know, in the current situation, breaking off means having to bear the risk alone.

"Hans' will will give you strength!"

Luka seemed a little reluctant to give up, he grabbed Gu Ji's shoulder heavily, and finally turned around, "Get ready to retreat!"

With a crash, everyone opened the hatch cover one after another and prepared to escape.

A tank only has three hatches.

As a radio operator, Apu could only get into the fort first. When he saw Gu Ji, he hesitated for a moment, as if he was worried about his safety.

"Let's go!"

Gu Ji shouted one last time.

After everyone retreated, he also threw away the machine gun and climbed out of the commander's cover, bang bang!

In just a moment, three or four bullets were fired.

It turned out that a dozen figures had already emerged from the woods. Looking at the military uniforms, they looked like soldiers of the Fog Army!

Gu Ji fired back randomly with his M1 submachine gun, and took advantage of the interval to roll directly down.

The moment he landed, he took out the [Poison Needle Trap] mine from his backpack.

"It's up to you, brother!"

Gu Ji blew a breath, pressed the trigger button on the top, and threw it back suddenly.

At the moment of falling, the mine suddenly opened its eight claws like a spider and was firmly fixed in front of the tank armor. Then like a chameleon, it quickly merged with the gray-green paint of the Tiger tank.

Without staring closely, it's hard to tell the difference.

That's right.

Gu Ji had the courage to press back because of this trump card. When he ran more than ten meters away, the soldiers of the Fog Army behind him had already caught up with the Tiger tank.

He quickly hid behind the trunk of an olive tree.

next moment.

The landmine exploded with a buzzing sound like a detonation bomb, and countless metal needles suddenly struck from all directions and pierced the tree trunk in front of him, making a "tat-tat-tat" sound.

And all the seven or eight fog soldiers nearby were hit by poisonous needles.

They screamed subconsciously and were about to reach out and pull it out. In the blink of an eye, they were grinning like they had eaten poisonous mushrooms and reaching out to grab the air in front of them.

The soldier on the side who was not hit by the poison needle wanted to step forward to check the status of his teammates.

They were either bitten by the poisoned person as food, hugged hard, hit directly, or even almost shot.

"The effect of this mine is really strong, which is equivalent to doubling the weakening of enemy personnel."

Gu Ji's pupils shrank.

If he were given a few more, he would be able to kill all the enemy troops by himself.

I just don’t know if the mines will be refreshed once the game returns after death.

Without any time to think, Gu Ji turned around and continued to chase Luca and the others. Seeing the figure in front of him was very close, he hurriedly shouted a few times to avoid being accidentally injured.

"Lieutenant! It's me!"

"Herman!?"

Luka didn't seem to expect that he could escape from the fog army's siege unscathed, "Thank God!!"

Leer breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to hug Gu Ji, and grinned.

"Just come back, my man!"

"The glory of Hans' will bless you! Brother Hermann!"

Eugen was so excited that he straightened his back, stretched his right hand perpendicularly to his chest, and even gave the Hans Will Salute. This is usually a ritual that only expresses personal admiration for the head of state, which is enough to prove that Gu Ji is in his heart now. status.

Apu on the side did not speak, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was very excited.

Gu Ji patted Leer on the back.

"There's no time to celebrate, the fog army has surrounded us, we have to go up the mountain quickly!"

Mountain, of course, refers to Mount Rutana.

Everyone nodded, and Luca opened the way, Gu Ji took the second position, then Eugen, Apu, and finally Leer was responsible for the rear.

July is the hot season in the Nannan outer islands.

It was extremely hot and stuffy in the forest, and there was often slippery, soft mud and rotten wood under the damp leaves on the ground. The clumps of vines and messy creeping plants made walking more difficult. Everyone was sweating profusely not long after leaving. .

Fortunately, Gu Ji relied on SERE survival training to find water sources from water vines to replenish his supplies.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Watching the sun gradually set, the team finally reached the foot of the southeastern tip of Rutana Volcano.

And there was a firefight here.

A large number of lemon trees were crushed and broken by the tanks, the weeds on the ground were burned one after another, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Fog Army and the Hans Army were staggered.

At a glance, Gu saw an M24 grenade hanging on the belt of one of the officer's corpses, and a Stg44 assault rifle beside him. He had been coveting this gun for a long time, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no danger around him, he moved forward and "licked the bag" ".

Close to the center of the battlefield.

He discovered that many corpses were not killed by cannonballs, but burned alive. Sure enough, one of the corpses was carrying a round metal equipment similar to an XO bottle on its back, which was a flamethrower!

The flamethrower is a very special individual combat weapon that has basically lost its use value in modern warfare. However, during World War II, using flames to kill enemies in trenches or bunkers was a very effective attack method.

Don't underestimate this thing. In the middle of World War II, the flamethrowers of various countries could basically reach a maximum range of thirty or forty meters, and they could spray continuously for about 2 seconds in a single time.

Anyone would be frightened by such a large ball of fire in close combat.

And just when Gu Ji threw away the Mauser rifle and replaced all the leather cases with 30-round magazines for the Stg44 assault rifle, his ears suddenly twitched instinctively.

"Front right, I have a situation at 1 o'clock!"

Swish!

Leer and Eugen reacted instantly, but at the moment when the gun was thrown out, a low shout came from behind the tree:

"Don't shoot! I'm from the 1st Airborne Division!"

"Drop your weapons and show me your hands!"

Under Luca's sharp scolding, a young soldier wearing light gray-green overalls, leather boots, and aviator glasses and a one-piece cap came out of the woods.

"My name is Felix. I am a pilot. I was on a supply airdrop mission from Lebdas to Yastani this morning. I was hit on the wing by an anti-aircraft machine gun from the Fog Army over the Rutana volcano. I was forced to abandon the plane and parachute."

Somehow, after hearing this, Gu Ji thought of his father.

Luke was dubious but did not put down the gun.

"Since you crashed in the morning, why are you still here?"

"I can't go out. This forest is full of fog troops. I heard in Dunkirk that Mosnelli had been interviewed urgently by King Vittorio Emanuele III of Rome and said he was going to Remove him from all duties."

"Now the Roman army has no intention of fighting. The Eagle Army captured 53,000 Roman troops in Palermo. The British transferred the 30th Army to bypass the east of Rutana Volcano, and prepared to cooperate with the US 7th Army to surround Yastani."

Felix's words shocked everyone present.

Could it be that Apu was right and that they had been abandoned by the empire?

But Gu Ji heard a key message from it:

Mosnelli steps down!

Anyone who has studied high school history knows that this historical event occurred on July 25, 1943.

In other words, today is the 25th.

Then the system stipulates that I arrive in Ludwigshafen within three days, indicating that the disaster should have occurred before the 28th.

Gu Ji thought about it carefully in his mind.

But after searching through all the records of major disasters and accidents that have occurred in the history of Hans Country, no relevant cases can be found.

"Then how should we join the main force? Brother Herman, do you have any ideas?"

Eugen looked at Gu Ji subconsciously.

For him, Gu Ji is now an omnipotent being.

Since today is the 25th, it means that Hans's Roman army can hold on for a few more days, because the Allied forces attacked Monsina on August 5th.

But he definitely won't stick around here waiting for support.

So he added fuel to the fire.

"The situation in Astani is not optimistic now. We should find a way to retreat to Monsina or Lebdas and request support from our headquarters."

"But how can we fight our way out from being surrounded by the fog army?"

Leer couldn't help but ask.

Maybe it was because he felt abandoned, maybe it was hard to accept the defeat of Hans' army, maybe it was the resonance caused by the corpses of his companions along the way.

In short, there was no fighting spirit in his eyes.

Gu Ji raised his head and looked at the pilot.

"Felix, do you know where there are planes near here?"

"I know what you're thinking, but unfortunately, I've tried it a long time ago."

Felix raised his hand and pointed at Mount Rutana.

"The Hans Army has a military air-raid shelter at the foot of the mountain, with aircraft and artillery parked inside, but it is now guarded by two squads of more than 20 people from the Fog Army. It is impossible for us to defeat them."

"Does it have heavy firepower?"

"No."

"Then there is still a chance, but..."

After Gu Ji said this, he paused slightly, "We have to find a way to distract their energy, so one person needs to make a big move to attract the main force of the Fog Army."

Everyone knows the meaning of this sentence. Compared with the previous retreat cover, this is completely a death sentence.

Luka's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.

Gu Jigang escaped from death for the team;

Felix is ​​a pilot;

Leer has lost his fighting spirit;

Eugen kept his head down, a little nervous.

His lips trembled slightly, and just when he was about to speak, unexpectedly, the most cowardly Apu took the initiative to stand up.

"Let me do it!"

When he said these words, Apu's whole body was shaking.

Eugen's eyes lit up and he suddenly raised his head.

"Yes! You can let Apu go. You have been hiding behind everyone. This time it is your turn to donate!"

Luka narrowed his eyes.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Apu is a completely inexperienced recruit, but he scanned everyone again and found that among them all, only Apu was useless at all.

He walked up to Apu and squeezed his shoulders just like he did to Gu Ji.

"Apu, go bring the flamethrower. I hope you can complete this mission with honor. Hans' will will give you strength!"

"yes!"

Apu straightened his back.

Although he was scared, he still obeyed the order and took off the MK.II series individual flamethrower from the dead body of Wu Jun.

A weight of nearly 20 kilograms pressed against his thin body, which looked particularly uncoordinated, but Apu still tried to straighten his back.

Luca and others were also collecting equipment from the corpse.

"Set off!"

Seeing that everyone was sorting out, he gave the order and asked Felix to lead the way to the Hans Army air raid shelter.

Along the way, Apu kept saying silently:

"Long live victory, my glory is loyalty, Hans' will will give me strength..."

Gu Ji turned around and looked at him.

In this young man's eyes, he saw fear, innocence, and finally the fanaticism in Eugen's eyes.

Finally arrived at the air raid shelter.

Gu Ji hid behind a tree and looked ahead with a telescope.

It was an empty mountainous area, with a semicircular air raid shelter dug out at the corner of the mountain. Parked inside was a military green Hans Army He111 medium bomber, along with an anti-aircraft cannon and a sentry tower.

The Fog Army was currently occupying several important positions around the air raid shelter, especially the sentry tower and anti-aircraft cannon.

Gu Ji's brain was running at high speed and he was constantly making tactical assessments.

"The difficulty lies in two, the sentry tower and the machine gun. We go around from the side and rear to outflank the tower. We first shoot the sentry, and then use grenades to force the machine gunner to leave the machine gun turret."

"Apu, you are responsible for attracting the enemy troops head-on. You will take action when you hear the first gunshot. It is best to lure them out of the air defense mountain, okay?"

"Can!"

Apu tried his best to smile.

Although it can be seen that he is trying to show off his strength, he is already much better than before.

Luka couldn't bear to look at this young man anymore.

Turned.

"Then follow Herman's plan and prepare for action!!"
