Chapter 106 Meritorious Service
Is this dead?
Gu Ji raised his head.
The scene in front of him was all too familiar. It was still the white ruins, the town was enveloped in gunpowder smoke, planes were circling, artillery fire was roaring, bullets were flying in the sky, rows of shells, like a volcano without a base.
"The explosion came so unexpectedly that I didn't even have a chance to react."
He quickly stood up from the ruins, picked up the rifle beside him, deftly pulled out the Mauser rifle bullets from the bullet box on his waist, loaded it, and set the muzzle of the gun at the alleyway intersection directly in front of him.
But subconsciously, Gu Ji always looked at the red numbers uncontrollably.
There are only two lives left.
It means he still has two chances left.
Once it fails, the consequences are unpredictable.
This is the pressure that the red heart mode brings to people, which is far more terrifying than the bloody countdown.
[The "Poison Needle Trap" mine*1 you are carrying has been delivered, you can check it by opening your backpack]
Fortunately, the items were also refreshed.
While Gu Ji was waiting for the "plot" to unfold, he was thinking about how to solve this level crisis.
Although the last round ended halfway before reaching the accident site.
But he still obtained a lot of valuable information.
1. The accident was caused by a factory explosion;
2. There is a high probability that a factory explosion will cause a large-scale leak of chemical gases. Otherwise, it is impossible to destroy an entire city by explosion alone. It would be more terrifying than an atomic bomb;
3. From the above two points, it can be concluded that this accident cannot be saved by him alone. It must borrow the power of the country like a cruise ship.
Follow these three steps to calculate.
Gu Ji's thoughts gradually became clear.
At first, he thought that the game chose the "birthplace" in the battle of Nannan Outer Islands to increase the difficulty of the level.
But looking at it now, this is actually an opportunity for him to "build momentum".
Because during World War II, he couldn't talk nonsense like he did in modern society. Any identity needed to be demonstrated by a solid paper transfer order or medal.
Therefore, the Battle of Nannan Outer Islands became the best place for him to gain meritorious service.
"The most important thing is to get on that plane..."
Gu Ji once again thought of the military transport plane responsible for investigating the bombing of Ludwigshafen mentioned by the military police.
Only by catching a direct flight would he have the opportunity to take control of the accident as soon as it happened. He might even have a chance to investigate the cause of the explosion in advance and avoid the accident.
Da da da……
The sudden sound of gunfire made Gu Ji temporarily stop being distracted. Before the stray bullets came, his index finger had already pressed the trigger. The moment the sand-green figure missed his head, bang!
[The crisis begins! 】
[Please select your initial reward. 】
[Chemical warfare agent detector*1! 】or【Language Specialization (Small)】
Confusing options again?
If it is really related to a chemical leak, wouldn't it be better for me to directly use the military or government's capabilities to obtain equipment?
And putting this aside, Gu Ji also had to choose the language category.
Although he still has some remaining memory of Chinese in his mind, it is like cramming before an exam, and there is always a lag when using it.
[New goal: reach Ludwigshafen within three days! 】
"To both sides of the alley!"
Gu Ji shouted, calmly turned the bolt, took aim, pulled the trigger, and once again killed an Eagle soldier.
But in the process, he discovered that the impact of the butterfly effect cannot be underestimated.
Reality simulations are completely different from video games.
If you start over in the game, the NPC's movements will not change at all, but the level world is different. Gu Ji just fired a shot in advance, and the position of the Eagle Army soldiers changed.
The M1 submachine gun that was clearly on the right side before is now on the left side.
"This game really forces you to have your own strength. It's not easy to gain points just by reverting to death."
Gu Ji cursed in his heart, but still relied on his command ability to quickly "clear the level".
Familiar opening introduction, familiar Hansian arrogance.
However, the difference is that the intelligence accumulated in the previous round allows him to lead Leer and Eugen more forcefully.
"The coalition warships on the east coast will not be able to attack the shore for a while, but the 29th Armored Division is now facing the encirclement of the Fog Army. Once the coalition forces cut off our retreat from the rear, there will be really no way back."
What Gu Ji said was reasonable and well-founded.
Ler and Eugen resolutely adopted his approach without any objection.
Follow the town map route from memory.
In less than ten minutes, Gu Ji led the two of them to the crossroads where the tank battle broke out.
The Tiger tank that was paralyzed on the side of the road had just been knocked down by the sentry and machine gunner ambushed upstairs.
The reason turned out to be that the captain rashly opened the hatch to check the situation and was solved on the spot.
Machine gun bullets ricocheted into the turret, taking the gunner with him.
On the contrary, it was the driver's operation that Gu Ji couldn't understand, and the tank stopped in place.
You must know that the position where he and Radio Soldier Apu were located was separated from the turret by a shaft. Even if the bullets hit the turret and ricocheted, they would not be able to continuously bounce into the cockpit. It would not be a bouncy ball.
Lenovo Apu was in a state of panic in the car at that time, and his subsequent crazy behavior.
Gu Ji thought that maybe he accidentally killed the driver because of nervousness and fear, so he did not dare to face Eugen's insults and taunts.
The Eagle Armored Corps had not yet had time to inspect the Tiger.
The ace tank team commanded by Luca came over to provide support, and saw a battle break out between the two sides. This time, before Eugen could speak, Gu Ji took the initiative to report his idea of combat support.
The so-called "once born, twice cooked".
When Ler and Eugen were shocked, he used urban CQB tactics to go around and capture the tank again.
When Lehr asked if he knew how to operate the turret.
Gu Ji did not shirk.
After the last round of stealing troops, he was already very familiar with the operation process of the turret, and the firefighting distance in this round of tank battle was only within a hundred meters, so there was almost no need to consider the problem of ballistic fall.
And the reason why he took away Eugen's job is also very simple: to compete for credit!
The more merit he gets now, the more command rights he can gain to solve accidents and disasters in the future.
After the guidance of the old gunner Leer.
Gu Ji successfully captured two Sherman tanks and rescued Luca much faster than before.
Faced with Luka's inquiry, he still used the same rhetoric.
The situation was serious, and Luka did not dare to delay.
But even if the time was advanced, Gu Ji and others still did not avoid the group of Roman national pig teammates. They were chased by their motorcycle troops on the outskirts of the city and at the entrance of the mountain. Naturally, they also brought the Eagle fighter jet with them.
He originally planned to leave two Tigers behind, which would be enough to easily deal with a 200-man light firepower unit.
Unexpectedly, after working for a long time, there was only one car left.
What's even more terrible is that because of the pursuit of the Eagle Army fighter jets, the group of Fog Army soldiers who were ambushing in the mountains and forests actually surrounded them one step ahead.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
It was Luka's pilot who spoke.
Because the scene changed, this time Luca at least escaped with the driver and gunner.
Luka frowned, lost in thought.
The main reason is that they only have one Tiger tank and 7 soldiers left, but the enemy has a group of nearly 200 troops and two armored vehicles.
There is also an Eagle fighter jet hovering in the sky. As long as the tank drives into the open area, it will definitely be hit. However, the weapons in their hands cannot solve this pain point.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Gu Ji suddenly spoke.
"Sir Luca, when I was marching to support from Mount Rutana before, I learned that our headquarters has an air raid shelter at the foot of the mountain. It not only has anti-aircraft cannons, but also a He-111 medium bomber, which can help us escape!"
"bomber?"
Luka's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.
"But we don't have pilots here, why..."
"I once learned to fly from a fellow villager, but I just wasn't very good at it."
Gu Ji couldn't directly say that a pilot was "waiting" for them in the woods, so he could only make up a nonsense first.
The gunner on the side immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Not very skilled? What if we crash on the way?"
"Do you think we have a better way to get out of trouble now? If we want to survive, we can only continue to gamble..."
"Bazooka—!!"
Just as Gu Ji was retorting, Leer suddenly yelled in the cockpit.
Boom!
Fortunately, the ace pilot under Luca had long been replaced in the cockpit, and he narrowly avoided the frontal bombing, but it also blew up the surrounding soil.
The outer islands of Nannan are backed by the Mediterranean Sea and are already humid.
Now that it's summer again, the soil is covered with a whole layer of rotting leaves and vines. After the soil loosens, the Tiger tank instantly sinks into the mud.
Buzzbuzz
The driver stepped on the accelerator and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Sir, the tank is carrying too much weight and is stuck in the mud!"
"There are too many people in the car. One of you can come down with me and find a way to hold off the enemy first!"
After saying these words, Gu Ji pushed open the driver's cabin door, picked up the M1 and dug out.
The Tiger's poor maneuverability, complex manufacturing process, high failure rate, and tendency to break down have long been known. Its 56-ton dead weight can easily sink into the mud, let alone seven people squeezed into the cabin at once.
Although this is true, no one dares to mention "getting off the car and losing weight".
Now he not only has to face the fighter jets in the sky, but also the hail of bullets from the ground troops. It is safest to stay in the tank. Once he climbs out, the chance of survival will drop instantly.
The gunner looked at Gu Ji's emerging figure and couldn't help but grin:
"I'm starting to like this guy a little bit now. Damn it, show us the momentum of our Hans will!"
boom--!
Accompanied by the gunfire of the Tiger tank, Gu Ji rolled and hid in a bush. The person who accompanied him to "send death" was Leer.
"Man, you have saved me so many times, I can't let you die in front of me, hahaha..."
Leer laughed boldly, raised his MP40 and swept it towards Wu Jun.
Gu Ji looked at each other and smiled.
Even so, the blocking effect of two more automatic weapons for an armored company of two hundred people can only be said to be minimal.
Seeing the enemy approaching, the Tiger tank managed to get out of the quagmire.
Leer shook his head mockingly.
"Man, it looks like we really have to explain here..."
"maybe."
Gu Ji squinted his eyes and quietly took out the [Poison Needle Trap] from his backpack.
This time he did not choose to throw it out. Instead, he pressed the trigger switch and placed it vertically on the bark of an olive tree.
In this way, it becomes a directional 190-degree range attack.
The effect is comparable to that of a broadsword mine.
"Intensify the firepower of the machine guns to suppress it, Commander Leer, alternate cover and retreat to the back of the tank!"
Gu Ji shouted one last thing, stood up suddenly and started to retreat.
The two have collaborated many times.
They already had a tacit understanding with each other. As the soldiers of the Fog Army approached the infrared sensing range of the poison needle trap, boom!
Whoosh whoosh!
There was a sound like exploding beans in the woods. Since it was a directional and wide-area fan attack, more Fog Army soldiers were hit by the poisonous mine needles this time, a dozen or so!
As the hallucinogen acted on the central nervous system along the bloodstream, the soldiers began to "dance" again. Not only did they attract a large number of companions to come to check, but even Leer, who was preparing to retreat, was slightly stunned.
"What happened to these fog troops? I just heard a sound similar to a sonic boom, did you hear it Herman?"
"Maybe someone stepped on an infantry mine."
Gu Ji hesitated.
During World War II, broadsword mines and shock bombs had not yet been invented, so Leer had no idea what was going on.
But the critical moment did not allow him to think carefully.
As the two men retreated to the rear of the tank, the seven-man team formed a coordinated combat mode of infantry and tanks with the Tiger tank as the core and Gu Ji and Leer as the feint attack.
Until retreating to the flamethrower battlefield.
Key Figure: Felix joins the team.
However, the soldiers of the Fog Army are not vegetarians either.
The distance advantage gained by relying on the poison needle trap was quickly shortened. The fog army sentries responsible for guarding the air raid shelter fired signal flares and surrounded them from the rear.
Watching the crimson smoke rising into the sky.
Everyone's heart was completely chilled.
In less than 20 minutes, the Fog Army's fighter jets and ground mobile troops will support them from all directions.
And they...
The tank driver's voice was heavy and regretful:
"Sir Luca, we can't escape. As long as we get close to the air raid shelter, the Eagle Army's fighter jets will definitely blow us up in front of the clearing. The only hope is that we hold back the Fog Army in the forest and find a way to open a gap for you. Kouzi, as for whether you can take down the bomber and leave..."
"Jonas, let's go together!"
"Sir, our survival to this day is the blessing of Hans' glory. No. 6 was destroyed and we have no shame to return to the 1st guard flag. But you are different, sir. You are the commander. You have to continue to lead everyone to fight. Stay. Give me a loader and get out of here!"
…
In the Tiger tank cabin, the driver and gunner seemed not to want to live anymore, and were ready to sacrifice themselves to buy time for everyone to snatch the bomber.
All they need now is a loader.
At this time, Apu's timid voice unexpectedly came from the cabin: "I'll do it!"
"Yes! Apu has been hiding behind everyone..."
Eugen said those harsh words again.
Everything seemed to be back to square one.
Gu Ji is not a superman and cannot control too much. His main goal has always been to solve the accident disaster.
"Cover me and take out the gunner!"
The sound fell.
Gu Ji ran like thunder.
In the mountain forest at sunset, Tiger tank fire and fog army machine guns were intertwined. Gun smoke was dispersed in the air. The sound of bullets whizzing through the wind rang in his ears. Guzhi led Leer, Luca and others from the side. Surrounding, like a sharp blade piercing the enemy's heart.
"Go grab the plane!"
He roared, rushed to the machine turret, turned the rollers, and aimed at the fighter jets in the sky.
Da da da da…
The bullet turned into a golden ray in mid-air.
The P-47 Thunderbolt has a speed of 350 to 400 kilometers per hour;
It will definitely use the downward dive to speed up and dodge;
Spiral climb, Hartmann roll...
Gu Ji's eyes widened, the veins on his neck popped out, he locked on the green dot in the circular crosshair, his central nervous system was running rapidly, his full-level firearms usage skills, and the aviation pilot knowledge he learned from Felix were at this moment overlap together.
"caught you!"
He flicked his wrist fiercely, and the muzzle of the gun quickly ran to the front of the fighter jet as it flipped and climbed. The ultra-high firing rate of the two guns was as high as 1,500 rounds per minute, causing countless bullets to kill towards the bottom of the cabin like a swarm of tiger bees.
The bullets tore at the iron skin of the fighter jet, making a "clang, clang, clang" sound.
There was a flash of fire, and the fighter plane exploded in mid-air with a "boom".
at the same time.
A Tiger tank in the woods was also hit by a rocket launcher.
"Oh my God! Man, you actually shot down a Thunder fighter!"
From the air-raid shelter behind him, Leer's voice exclaimed, as well as the excited shouts of Eugen and others.
Gu Ji dropped the grenade, blew up the machine gun, and quickly ran into the bomber cabin.
Before Felix could speak first, he skillfully opened the flaps and adjusted them to 10 degrees.
"Oh my God, you are truly the most versatile warrior I have ever seen!"
Felix shook his head and exclaimed, and began to push the throttle lever with his hand as the plane flew out of the air raid shelter.
Under the siege of the Fog Army, the Tiger tank completely exploded.
Luka lay in front of the transparent observation window, looking at his dead old comrade, and fell into silence.
"Felix, please fly faster!"
Gu Ji was counting the time in his mind. He was not sure when the headquarters would start selecting teams to rush to Ludwigshafen, so time was extremely precious to him.
Felix thought he was worried about being pursued by the coalition forces.
So he was asked to press the bomb release button. In a blaze of fire, the bomber rose to high altitude and headed for Lebudas.
When we arrived at the port military airport, the sun had not yet set.
It was still the same few soldiers from the Punishment Battalion, but the difference was that when Luka said that Gu Ji had killed two Sherman tanks and a P-47 Thunder fighter, and led the crowd to snatch out a When the medium bomber arrived, the gendarmerie chief's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Before the other party could recover, Gu Ji said urgently:
"Sir, I want to see the General Staff of the headquarters!"
"Why do you want to see the General Staff?"
"It's like this. I'm from Ludwigshafen. I heard that my hometown was bombed the day before yesterday. I'm very worried about the situation at home, so I want to return home immediately. I hope the commander will allow me!"
Gu Ji played the "family card" perfectly.
Not to mention that he had just achieved "illustrious military exploits."
So the gendarmerie chief took a few people to the headquarters.
The person in charge of the Lebudas headquarters is a general staff officer at the level of a colonel. He is in his forties, has swollen eyes, and wears a big beard, which makes him look slightly funny.
After listening to the recorded military police report.
The bearded man immediately stood up from his seat, walked up to Gu Ji himself, stretched out his hands to hold his shoulders, and said excitedly.
"The glory of the Hans Empire has blossomed, and it has given our army such a brave and capable soldier. He immediately reported it to the headquarters and awarded Hermann the Iron Cross Second Class and the rank of Staff Sergeant!!"
I received a reminder and changed the relevant names. It will not affect the previous plot. I hope you can forgive me. I will save some voiceovers for the level summary and I will tell you again.
