Chapter 59 Sniper Major
At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

The firepower positions in the eastern area were replenished with supplies. The outstanding performance in the morning gave the Prussian major general who was in charge of the area hope for the attack. He quickly sent three companies to reinforce the firepower points, demanding a counterattack on the church and taking over several streets on both sides.

The relevant movement was discovered by the reconnaissance plane. After it was reported, Lieutenant General Summerford of the camp personally intervened. Not only did he not order a retreat, but he also asked the troops stationed in the church to organize a charge immediately.

12:30pm.

More than 300 citizens of Leden left the church and were driven by soldiers to attack the firing point on the third floor.

The Prussian soldiers opened fire in a threatening manner, but after Tommy shot and killed several of them, the group was forced to move on.

The first mine exploded, and the civilians around the explosion point were killed and more than a dozen people were thrown out. The densely packed positions led to tragic casualties.

The citizens wanted to flee in all directions, but two Lewis machine guns blocked the left and right sides, and continued to shoot after killing more than 30 people. Driven by bullets, the citizens rushed to the firing point on the third floor in panic, and landmines exploded one after another with a deafening sound.

In response to this despicable act, the Prussian officers ordered their soldiers to open fire, but the gunfire was sparse, the machine gunner committed suicide, and the scene was in chaos.

The panicked citizens rushed into the building, and someone mixed in the crowd and Charles XIV immediately went up to the third floor.

Jiang He spread his blood wings for the first time. His wingspan was over five meters and his feathers were lifelike, like blades emitting a chilling coldness. When the iron light burst out, a crisscrossing bloody tornado rose before his eyes. The bodies of the six Prussian soldiers were ruthlessly torn apart like thin paper, with flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

Charles XIV stared blankly at the scene in front of him. The walls of the third-floor position were covered with traces of sharp blade cuts, with blood and minced meat splattering, as if being swallowed by a giant meat grinder. If it were in ancient times, knights would undoubtedly be the real killer on the battlefield.

"Sir, is this the knight?"

"do not know."

Jiang He fired four shots into the sky, with two short and one long shots between them, indicating that the company's firepower point had been taken. After using the Blood Wings to attack, he felt his physical strength decline. As his feathers recovered, his symptoms also worsened accordingly. However, the Lionheart Wristband has the effect of enhancing physical recovery by 20%, so overall it is still in balance.

At 12:50 noon, the position on the third floor was occupied.

Tommy led the team in and the camp command issued combat orders via telegram.

"…Your troops have been surrounded. You must hold out until tomorrow morning. Knight Tommy and Rhine are in charge of the positional battle as majors. This battle is extremely important. Our army is attacking the East Reden Library. If the flank is lost, the two commanders will be shot immediately…"

General Tommy crumpled his hand and silently lit a cigarette. He smelled a familiar scent, and the memories of defending position No. 145 made him feel complicated.

A reminder sound rang in Jiang He's ears.

[Hint: Your reputation +2000]
[Hint: You have become a major (5000/5000)]
Jiang He tilted his head and asked directly: "How do I use my military rank? I don't seem to get any benefits at all."

"Although this type of reputation title is basic, it is very versatile and can improve the initial status of similar mission worlds. For example, I became the Earl of Roses due to the war in the previous mission world. This time I descended and got the sole inheritance right of the Earl. The power may not be great, but it will definitely be much more convenient to do things. I can continue to use it when I descend for the second time. However, the speed of time in the real world and the real world is very different. When I descend to the same world for the second time, many years may pass in an instant. The information is worth 2 D-level military merits. Thank you."

A page of codex suddenly appeared next to the empty man.

Si Ning said: "Just cover it and swipe away two. This thing is pretty smart."

Jiang He gave the other party two D-level military merits and said, "Later, when you defend the position, help create a reflection of me and then hide me. The merits you gain will be divided into 2% and %."

"I'm embarrassed that I account for more than 70% at once."

"What's the point of your chattering?"

"It appears, the robot's exclusive tone!"

Si Ning pretended to exclaim in surprise and threw out a few short crystal-like thorns.

On the other side, Tommy directed the soldiers to deploy. The Maxim heavy machine gun still had enough bullets, but now the roles were reversed and they needed to guard the direction of the church instead.

13:25 p.m.

The three companies had already assembled around the church. The Prussian major battalion commander who was commanding the battle was obviously a tough guy. He ordered one company to provide fire support. After the two companies advanced crosswise, they decisively launched a full-scale attack in order to save time.

Dense groups of soldiers advanced through open spaces and ruins, and Maxim heavy machine guns poured out firepower, but the enemy had prepared howitzers and destroyed the firing point with one shell.

Behind the ventilation hole of the building, Jiang He aimed his gun. The first shot was fired, and the bullet killed the gunner.

The second shot was fired, and the bullet killed the lieutenant commander who was leading the charge.

The third shot was fired, and the bullet killed the Maxim machine gunner on the fire support line.

The positions of the gunner, leader and machine gunner were quickly taken over. Three more shots were fired, and three bodies lay on the ground again. The third group took over, and the result was the same.

"Kill that sniper for me. What are you doing?" The Prussian major battalion commander was furious.

The adjutant personally found a mortar, raised his thumb to aim, and loaded the shell. The shell flew accurately through the air, landed between the walls and caused an explosion. When the smoke and dust settled, the gun flame flashed again between the broken walls, and another officer died.

"Sir, I can't find him. He's a knight!"

"Then keep charging. The library determines the fate of the East District. I have received a death order!"

Jiang He kept firing, and at the same time the reflection in the ruins also showed the same movement. The crystal spikes refracted the reflection, covering up the real muzzle and the direction of the trajectory.

Since there was no external pressure, he could aim patiently and there was no need to move position. He loaded the bullet into the gun and fired to eject it. After using up seven sets of ammunition, the enemy's offensive obviously stagnated.

Jiang He held his breath and focused his sight through the telescope, aiming at the major battalion commander six hundred meters away. The other party was standing behind the window of a collapsed house, closely watching the battlefield.

“It’s like a real-life shooting game.”

Jiang He exhaled. It was the first time for him to attempt such a long distance. A slight mistake in wind speed and angle could lead to failure. As his mind became calm, a stream of green-red energy surged out from his palm, flowed through the gun body, and was completely injected into the bullet.

Garuda Mode 22: Energy Separation allows blood to successfully attach to bullets, with 20% additional corrosion damage + % fragmentation effect, as well as increased bullet flight speed and the sniper rifle's own lethality, the overall power is quite considerable.

The skill of hiding murderous intent was gradually activated. Aiming the scope at the upper right corner of the enemy, Jiang He pulled the trigger, and a ray of scarlet light instantly burst out from the muzzle of the gun. At the same time, the image body lying on the ruins also made a shooting action and was hit by another mortar shell.

It was as if thunder was roaring across the battlefield, a sharp sound was whistling, and scarlet bullets were flying through the air.

A large amount of blood and fluid suddenly gushed out from the major battalion commander's temple, and then his head exploded with a "bang". The headless corpse fell heavily to the ground, and blood gushed out.

3:12 p.m.

The Prussian battalion commander, a major, was killed.

The three attacking companies immediately gave up the charge and retreated towards the church.

The spearhead platoon, which was positioned closest to the front and fought most bravely, became victims. They were trapped behind the bunker and could not move forward or backward.

A sergeant showed his head and his head was immediately blown up. The deputy ran away as fast as he could, but was shattered in the chest by the second bullet. Everyone went crazy and charged towards the church together. Bullets seemed to be everywhere, reaping lives one by one.

The battlefield seemed to have fallen into silence. The soldiers of our company watched the enemy being cruelly slaughtered like hares, and a chill rose in their hearts.

Tommy kicked up two bullet bags and came to the ventilation vent of the building, only to see someone in disguise firing non-stop, with movements so fast that afterimages appeared.

"He pressed fast forward, ignore it."

Si Ning squatted in the corner and ate a fresh lemon. The sour and bitter taste made her little face wrinkle.

A few minutes later, Jiang He put away his gun and stood up. He had 147 D-level military merits, a considerable portion of which were provided to him by the dead officers, including 12 for the major battalion commander alone.

"The superiors have ordered that the next battle will be a street-fighting-style battle between the two sides. We will get support soon. Lieutenant General Summerford said that the camp command will activate the water tank plan, so we don't have to despair of being surrounded."

Jiang He and Si Ning looked at each other. The water tank was the tank, which was first used by the British Army in the Battle of the Somme in World War I. Although compared with the various types that came later, the Mark I was more like a parallelogram tracked vehicle, but the firepower of its two cannons and four machine guns was unquestionable.

"Then hold on. It's not the first time anyway."

Tommy nodded. He didn't know whether the water tank plan was feasible, but a flash of inspiration told him that Rhine's judgment was worth referring to.
