Soldier David quickly squatted on the ground, took down his mortar from the ground, held the barrel in his left hand and the bottom plate in his right hand.

This posture is almost no different from the grenade of the island country.

Yes, this kind of thing is a little too called mortar. In fact, it is just a projectile launcher.

This is a 2-inch gun. If converted into metric system, it is 51 mm. It can be found that the caliber is very small and easy to carry. In the establishment of the British army, this kind of mortar has one in the headquarters of each platoon and three in each company below. It can be said that this kind of mortar is their main weapon when the army lacks heavy weapons.

In terms of range and ammunition power, it is not as good as the French 60mm mortar. Compared with the Japanese grenade, the range is slightly larger and the accuracy is slightly higher. In particular, there is a simple sight, which is easy for novices to master.

Yes, this mortar and a simple sight.

At this time, after David put the mortar in place, he began to beat drums on the turntable below. Now, the distance is 400 meters, which is almost the limit of his own range, so he needs to use the highest elevation.

Then, the angle adjustment. This mortar has two angle rulers in the chassis and middle for fine adjustment. Soon, he finished the preparation.

"Let go!" He shouted.

The assistant on one side stuffed the 2-inch mortar shell into the muzzle and let go.

"Bang!" When the shell fell to the bottom, it was fired below. The gunpowder ignited. Relying on its own power, the shell flew out of the muzzle.

David stared at the shell he shot. The first shot was not necessarily accurate. He needed to correct it by observing the landing point. The second time must be more accurate than the first time.

"Boom!" Sure enough, the shell exploded a few meters away from the other party's machine gun, three secret positions to the right!

He adjusted nervously. Then he felt that his head was hit by something. His neck seemed to be unable to withstand such a strong impact.

Then, his world is a darkness. Before the darkness, there is no sharp pain, only numbness.

"David!" Shouted the nearby loader.

A bullet hit David's head accurately. After shouting, the loader was shot in the same head.

Opposite, there's a sniper!

The people behind, without hesitation, immediately came forward, took over the mortar and continued to operate.

Even if there are snipers on the opposite side, they also need to fight. Only by defeating the enemy on the opposite side can they have the hope of victory!

"Dada dada." Here, the British machine guns also opened fire violently, suppressing the opposite side. It's just an infantry battalion. If your infantry division presses all the troops up, it can rush over!

No matter how much firepower the other party has, in short, the number of the other party is limited!

Before the arrival of German reinforcements, we should solve Calais, firmly hold here and create opportunities for the retreat of the expeditionary army!

"Boom!" The mortar continued to fire at the other party. This time, it accurately hit one of the other party's machine gun fire points!

A burst of cheers broke out here, but just two seconds later, the machine gun opposite began to ring again.

Obviously, at this time, the other party is also crazy. The machine gunner is dead and on the top of the back!

The machine gun fire here is suppressed, and the machine gun opposite continues to fire!

It is unwise to continue charging before suppressing the other party's machine gun, but now Montgomery has no other choice. The most precious thing is time!

"Five minutes later, organize the second round of charge!" Montgomery said.

Looking at the motorcade around him, he thought of an idea: "cover our car with a quilt, pour water and rush over!"

He has been fighting for more than ten minutes. It seems that the other party doesn't have any heavy firepower. Now, as long as he has a tank, he can rush up. Unfortunately, he doesn't. therefore, he can only think of other ways.

For example, the current car can still be a temporary guest. He has no steel plate to increase protection, so he has to use earth.

Montgomery is quite good at thinking.

Cotton quilt with water, bulletproof effect is OK.

"Yes." A brigade commander nearby, immediately give orders.

Continuing to hold the telescope, Montgomery found a problem again. The other party was understaffed. Why did he have to think on the bridge here? On the nearby canal, you can still find ways, such as building a bridge manually!

The simplest thing is to drive the car down, it's the bridge!

Anyway, these cars may not be able to get back to Britain. Instead of leaving them to the Germans, they might as well use them by themselves now!

We can't wait any longer. Give orders immediately and organize a new attack! The Germans just set up a defense on the bridge here. The whole city of Calais is wide!

"Sir, sir, it's not good!" Just then, the adjutant hurried over.

Bad? What's the bad news? I'm afraid the worst news is that our side can't attack the city in time? Aren't you working hard now?

"Sir, look at the left, look at our left!"

They started all the way from the right, and now, on their left, on the horizon, there are clouds of black smoke.

What's that?

There is some fog in the morning. They can't see too far, but they can guess what just by looking at the black smoke.

Those black smoke are the exhaust gas from engine combustion. Because the other party is driving savagely, it will constantly emit black smoke. From the scale of black smoke, the other party is definitely a strong army.

On your side? From the French Southern Legion? Stop dreaming, it's impossible.

Since it's not the French legion, it must be the Germans. It's all over the mountains, not only along the road, but also at high speed in the wild, which means that it's not just cars, but tanks!

Almost in an instant, Montgomery judged that it was the German armored forces!

In repeated battles, the German armored forces were mythical, and they were invincible.

Montgomery knows that any army is flawed. No matter how powerful the German tanks are, they have to blow up the tracks and can't move forward when they hit the anti tank mines. With mines, they can block each other.

Moreover, the military scientific researchers in the rear must be tirelessly studying solutions. German tanks are not invincible.

But now, he lacks anti tank mines and mine laying time. The Germans are rushing over at high speed. What should we do on our own side?

Stay here to resist and wait for your main force to arrive for reinforcements? Or?
