Chapter 116 Reinforcements

"Bang!" With a gunshot, Qin Chuan finally got his chance.

Similar to the fire coming out of the muzzle when firing a rifle, the mortar will also emit fire when firing.

This is because the propellant is not fully burned in the closed space of the barrel, and it gets more oxygen outside the barrel after being fired with the shell.

Moreover, the flame emitted by the mortar is much brighter than that of the rifle, which makes Qin Chuan even see the gunner's face at that moment...

Although the light disappeared after a moment, Qin Chuan still pulled the trigger and fired a bullet based on the impression in his mind.

Qin Chuan didn't know if he hit the target because the target was in the dark.

"Bang" Qin Chuan pressed the second bullet and fired another bullet at the original position.

This bullet was not for confirmation, but Qin Chuan knew that if the first gunner was injured or killed, the second gunner would immediately take the position of the first gunner and continue bombing.

Qin Chuan still couldn't be sure whether he hit the target, but the mortar was no longer firing.

In fact, mortars are not important. The British Army's 51MM mortars, like the German Army's 50MM mortars, have one per row on average.

But there are not many gunners who can accurately shoot 51MM mortar shells into the room through the window in the dark. It obviously requires talent and a large number of shells. As a result, these gunners will have a feeling for the trajectory of the shells. They don't need to calculate at all. When the barrel is placed at a certain angle, the trajectory of the shells will naturally appear in their heads.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese grenade launcher shooters could reach this level... At that time, the Japanese soldiers were of high quality, and they played grenade launchers with magic in their hands. They could even use the curved trajectory of the grenade launcher to hide behind the wall and blow up the enemy's machine guns by sound... Machine gun bullets are shot in a straight line, so there is no way to deal with Japanese soldiers.

This is also why the National Army later copied the Japanese army's grenade launcher in the hope of "fighting fire with fire" but it didn't work... It's not just the grenade launcher that really works, but the Japanese soldiers holding the grenade launcher.

Therefore, the gunner is irreplaceable.

Just like now, after Qin Chuan shot and killed the two gunners, no more shells could hit the building.

"Bang!"

This time, it was a machine gunner who was shot down. It should be an MG34 machine gun... After all, the British pretended to be Germans and got in, using German equipment.

It was also because of this that Qin Chuan could hit the target... He was very familiar with the length of the MG34 machine gun. As long as he saw the sparks from the muzzle, he could roughly estimate the position of the machine gunner.

"They are attacking!" The German soldiers guarding the stairs shouted in this direction, followed by a few screams.

Qin Chuan didn't think much, he pulled a grenade and ignited it, rushed to the door and threw it towards the stairs. With a "bang", there was a scream at the entrance of the stairs. Then the enemy dared not act rashly, after all, no one knew whether a few more grenades would roll down the stairs.

"Explosive bag!" Qin Chuan shouted.

A guard understood and waited for a few seconds after pulling the explosive bag... It can be seen from this that the guard has a certain military quality. If he didn't wait for a few seconds, the explosive bag might be thrown back or thrown somewhere else by the enemy and would not work.

The purpose of throwing the explosive bag at this time is to blow up the stairs.

Then there was a loud "bang", and amid a scream, the stairs were completely broken, which made it impossible for the enemy to attack for a while.

Qin Chuan heard Rommel's shout in the dark: "Well done, Sergeant!"

But soon there was a burst of gunfire downstairs...

Qin Chuan felt bad. Although the enemy couldn't come up, the bullets of machine guns and rifles could easily penetrate the wooden partitions and cause casualties to the people upstairs.

Rommel's shouting just now obviously let the enemy downstairs find the target, so they concentrated their firepower to shoot at Rommel's position.

After thinking for a while, Qin Chuan shouted: "Colonel, if you want to live, shut up!"

Rommel and the guards didn't understand the meaning of Qin Chuan's shouting for a while. Rommel was obviously a general, and Qin Chuan, as a sergeant, shouldn't shout at Rommel in an ordering tone...

But this was very clear to the ears of the enemies downstairs: it turned out that the target they were shooting at was just a colonel, and the one who could shout at the colonel must be a general... Who else could it be except Rommel? Even if it wasn't Rommel, it would be worth it to kill a general!

So the bullets "swooshed" towards Qin Chuan's direction. Qin Chuan ran all the way in the corridor in the dark with a rifle according to his memory. The machine gun bullets followed Qin Chuan all the way from bottom to top, and the flying wood chips even hit Qin Chuan's back.

Soon the machine gun stopped firing, probably because a round of bullets had been fired. The MG34 has a capacity of 75 rounds when using a drum magazine, which is just a few seconds for a firing rate of 1,200 rounds per minute.

The machine gunner wanted to change to another drum magazine, but he failed because a gunshot came from upstairs, and a bullet went through the floor and knocked him to the ground... Although the bullet did not hit the vital part, it was a secondary kill, so the machine gunner died without even a groan.

Qin Chuan found the position of the machine gunner based on his feeling. From the room to the passage, the bullets followed him at an angle, and the center of the fan-shaped surface swept by the bullets... must be the position of the machine gunner.

This also shows that you don't need many bullets, just one shot is enough.

"Bang bang" Qin Chuan fired all the bullets in his rifle while changing his position.

These shots seemed to be aimless shooting, but in fact they were just a circle on the floor with bullets... Then Qin Chuan rushed up and kicked the circle hard, and a hole appeared on the floor with a "pop".

The enemies downstairs raised their guns and shot, but Qin Chuan had already run away.

Just as the enemies downstairs were puzzled by Qin Chuan's actions, a smoking grenade fell from the hole.

"Grenade!" This shout was in English, which proved that Qin Chuan's previous guess was correct. They were British troops, well-trained British troops.

With a "bang", there was a scream downstairs. This sudden grenade obviously caused heavy losses to these British troops.

At this time, there was a burst of rapid braking sounds outside, and then teams of German troops jumped off the car and surrounded the headquarters.

"Catch them!" Qin Chuan heard someone shouting, "Don't let any of them escape!"

"Reinforcements are coming!" Rommel whispered, "They're finished!"
