The Rise of the Scum of the Heavens

Then he took the lead and ran towards the pre-set position.

It was also at such a time that something even more depressing happened: the torrential rain that had stopped for more than half an hour suddenly started to rain again.

The bean-sized raindrops slapped everyone's faces, and they felt a little painful.

It can be said that Hu Biao's plan to build fortifications has increased the difficulty by at least one level.

Under such a ghostly weather, the trenches they dug out are not called fortifications, but some big mud pits for bathing are more appropriate.

But even so, hiding in these muddy pits is better than being exposed to the outside.

Chapter 553 The Correct Way to Open Quests (Two Chapters in One)

Amidst the sound of splashes of '哗啦,哗啦~', a large part of the trench that was barely one meter deep was dug, and it suddenly collapsed without warning.

To be precise, a large expanse of soft soil that had long been washed by the torrential rain immediately collapsed.

Not only did Hu Biao and others spend a lot of effort on this part, but the trench dug out was half buried.

At the same time, in the trenches that had already accumulated knee-deep mud in a short period of time, a wave of turbid muddy water was stirred up by the collapsed sand, and immediately rushed to Hu Biao and others.

It made Hu Biao and others who were soaked in the rainstorm even more embarrassing.

Immediately, Hu Biao, who was upset, spit out a mouthful of muddy water with a bah~, and threw the engineer shovel in his hand far away.

It can be regarded as completely giving up the ridiculous plan of continuing to build such civil fortifications in the current heavy rain.

And in the surrounding positions, it was rare for other members of the Central Continent team not to take the opportunity to laugh when they saw this. Their commander looked extremely embarrassed now.

What's so funny?Their current situation is actually not much better.

What's more, these guys who have been in a mess for a long time in the muddy water struggle have a terrible headache when they think of the next system task.

So much so that even laughing at the commander Hu Biao, which has always been a happy thing, is not in the mood now.

Talk!This is the second time this trench has collapsed in a short period of time.

In the final analysis, it is still because of the soil conditions in the Normandy area, which is not very suitable for the construction of civil engineering works; it would be better if it does not rain, and we can think of some solutions.

But under the current situation, even if Hu Biao and the others have mastered the most advanced trench system construction method in the world, it is useless.

Talk!Originally, I heard the relevant statement about the second phase of this mission released by the system.

At that time, the first reaction of the Zhongzhou team, including Hu Biao, was to build a complete fortification.

The main reason is that people like them have known a complete set of fortifications similar to the Goryeo War in the previous system missions, with complete underground tunnels, artillery holes, various frontal firepower points, inverted positions, and traffic trenches.

In the actual defensive battle, how much good effect can it have.

It can be said that in the missions of Brown Yanggou, Songhu, and Hengyang, Hu Biao and the others relied on these fortifications to survive in the end.

However, it was precisely this that made the Zhongzhou team's way of thinking a little solidified.

Without thinking about it, there is no better way.

However, I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune. From the moment the trench digging started, there was basically a continuous rainstorm, which made them know such an idea, and I’m afraid it was hopeless.

Then, in the ensuing battle, it seemed that everyone in the Zhongzhou team could only rely on their flesh and blood, and without protection, they fought recklessly with the armored troops of Degun.

In this way, they can basically announce their second phase of the mission and declare failure in advance.

Seeing this, Yang Dongli, who was also upset, knew that he had to think of other ways.

For this reason, he instinctively took out a pack of cigarettes, intending to light one to stabilize his mood, but ended up taking out the Camel cigarettes from his jacket pocket.

It's just that after I found that this thing was soaked in water, I squeezed it with a little force and it was like a ball of paste.

Immediately, Comrade Yang, who was recognized as calm and calm in the company team, became depressed now.

But depression is also in line with the 'law of conservation of energy'. Lao Yang's current unlucky appearance made Hu Biao laugh heartlessly.

Even after being drenched in a mouthful of rainwater in the blink of an eye, at least he regained his emotions.

With his pole on his hips, he yelled at everyone:

"Come on, stop digging one by one, it's my fault, an empirical error, there's no way to do civil work in this damn weather.

Now everyone go back and drink some hot porridge to warm up your body, and discuss how to do it by the way. "

Under such a proposal, everyone threw away the engineering shovels in their hands, and flocked to the field kitchen that had a roof made of tarpaulin to prevent rain.

It can also be regarded as the effect of food, to soothe the manic psychology of the Zhongzhou team after hearing the system mission because of the huge pressure of the difficult mission.

Using such a weird way, let everyone's emotions cool down...

I have to say that Qingtian, the owner of the fast food restaurant, is getting better and better. The oatmeal porridge made this morning tastes quite good.

Especially when you have just been drenched in water and your whole body is a little cold, it can be said that not only warms up the whole body, but also eases the anxiety.

Under such circumstances, Hu Biao, who squatted by the stove and let the heat roast his clothes, asked in English while drinking porridge:

"First of all, everyone first evaluates the size of the German baton armored unit we need to face based on what AT saw at the time.

correct!And what is their serial number, does anyone know this? "

The reason for this is that Lieutenant Don Collier and others also participated in this Zhuge Liang meeting; if they communicate in Chinese, they simply cannot understand.

Talk!The situation that AT saw at that time was roughly as follows:

There are more than 60 tanks in it, of which there are basically two types of Panther tanks and No. [-] tanks. There should be only two or three Tiger tanks.

In addition, there are about 10 self-propelled artillery, about 8 assault guns, more than 2 tracked and half-tracked armored vehicles, some anti-aircraft guns, and these heavy equipment.

In addition to the above, there are more than 30 trucks and some three-wheeled motorcycles.

Accompanied by the number of infantry, probably around 1200, they are equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, and they look quite good.

Anyway, compared to the World War II German stick troops encountered along the way, the morale and mental outlook seem to be much stronger.

As for the more detailed equipment models and specific troops, AT didn't care too much.

After all, the AT at that time never thought that such a small force like them would be able to defeat such a powerful armored force, so they didn't conduct too detailed reconnaissance at all.

After a general understanding of the situation, he returned directly to Hu Biao and the others.

The above situation, as early as yesterday, Hu Biao and the others sent it back by telegram, so that everyone who stayed behind knew it, so there was no need to repeat it again.

So after Hu Biao asked the above questions.

Lieutenant Don Collier, the leader of the privates who knew more about the situation, was the first to give some answers he knew.

But before he opened his mouth to answer formally, he first praised the chef Qingtian:

"Qing, your craftsmanship is really good. If you continue to open restaurants in Chinatown after the war, you must remember to tell me that you will definitely have an extra loyal customer."

In Qingtian's reserved face, it means that this is a small situation.

It was Lieutenant Don Collier who said what he had learned: "This German armored unit should be the 17th SS "Guz von Berlissingen" Panzergrenadier Division.

According to intelligence, they are a newly formed armored division in Gaul last year; most of the personnel are a reserve and volunteers from the Bar area.

In the previous battle between Carentan and John's family, although they performed quite well, they also suffered a lot of losses; even the division commander was killed in battle, and now the captain of the banner is acting as the deputy.

So the troop seen by the AT should belong to their remnant troop. Based on the strength of equipment and personnel, it probably belongs to the size of a reinforced regiment. "

Hearing this, Hu Biao and the others figured out which team they were about to face.

It's just that even if they figured it out, they didn't feel much joy in their hearts; it was all because of the prefix 'SS' of this unit.

well!In later generations, many people have been wondering whether the Wehrmacht or the SS was more effective in the German army during World War II.

There is a big debate on such a question above the valley.

In response to this point, a generally accepted and reasonable statement is that it depends on the specific year.

If it was in the early stage of World War II, it would definitely not be as good as the National Defense Forces; as a major German military force, the National Defense Forces are naturally better in terms of equipment, training, and officer command.

In contrast, the SS is worth mentioning for its fanatical will to fight.

But after the later stage, the situation is completely different.

Because Mustache has always given priority to providing and replenishing various advanced equipment and high-quality soldiers for the SS armed by his confidant.

Coupled with training and officers' command ability to keep up, the combat effectiveness of the SS Army has also become stronger.

Faced with such a well-equipped, good tactical ability, and fanatical fighting will, the 17th Armored Division of the SS Army is certainly not the opponent Hu Biao and the others hope to meet.

The problem is not that if they don't want to encounter it, they don't have to.

Facing the upcoming battle with such a force, now Hu Biao and the others can only figure out how to fight in order to reduce the team's losses to an acceptable level and complete the second phase of the task.

So, after swallowing the porridge in his mouth, Hu Biao spoke again:

"Build a complete fortification here on the hilltop position to block the German stick's plan, because this damn heavy rain seems to be impossible.

Besides, even if there is only one reinforced regiment left in the 17th Armored Division, it is still a group of fierce firepower, and the loss must be astonishing if it is so dead.

So let me do a self-reflection here first. At that time, I was not calm and impulsive, and I confessed my mistakes to everyone.

Now after some calm thinking, I feel that it is best to block and delay their advance along the way, which is the best way to complete the task.

But then the question arises, how to block and delay them so that they can survive until 12 o'clock tomorrow?Let's all work together to see how to overcome this difficulty. "

Facing Hu Biao's self-examination and questions, everyone fell silent.

Of course, it wasn't that they chose to pretend to be dead at such a critical moment, but they began to address Hu Biao's problem. Everyone was thinking about what to do, how to do it themselves?

About 3 minutes later, Bacon raised his hand first.

After everyone looked over, Xianrou said in his mouth:

"The sFH18 150mm howitzer left by the German stick, I studied it yesterday and found that I should be able to fiddle with it smoothly, and I can open fire to surprise them after the 17th Armored Division enters a range of 13 kilometers.

But I have two problems here. The first point is that this thing requires artillery observers to help me guide the coordinates of the shooting in order to achieve a good bombardment effect.

The second point is that this thing is such a big mess, of course it cannot be handled by one person. Lao Hu, you need to arrange at least 6 more people for me to use the thing normally. "

The sound of salty meat fell, and Zhuye volunteered to stand up.

He said in his mouth: "I will be your artillery observer, and when the time comes, I will use the radio to transmit the specific shelling results to you so that you can make adjustments.

correct!I still need an assistant, who will come with me?

If it’s not the time, the two of us would just go straight ahead and stop until we meet the German stick army; this will also let everyone know where the German stick army is and when they will arrive?It is also good to make some more arrangements in a targeted manner. "
