Chapter Ninety-Four: A Small Victory
Qin Chuan wanted to pull out the bayonet, but he tried twice and failed, because the kneeling corpse would be dragged forward and backward by the bayonet.
The correct thing to do is to step on the corpse with his foot and then pull out the bayonet, Qin Chuan actually knew this in his heart, but subconsciously refused to do so...... He didn't know why, maybe it was because of the fear in his heart, maybe it was because of an inexplicable sense of guilt, he didn't want to trample the corpse in front of him under his knife like firewood and throw it away.
At that moment, Qin Chuan even wanted to drop his rifle and leave everything behind.
Later, as soon as he thought of this, Qin Chuan felt afraid, this was a battlefield, and any hesitation or mistake could kill him, but at that moment, Qin Chuan committed both.
A British soldier took advantage of this time to rush forward with a bayonet, with a fierce momentum, as if he wanted to avenge his comrades.
It was definitely too late for Qin Chuan to pull out the bayonet, so he had no choice but to throw the rifle attached to the corpse in the direction of the enemy...... The butt of the gun slashed through an arc and fell heavily on the nose of the British army, blood splattered, and the momentum of the British army could not help but slow down.
Taking advantage of this time, Qin Chuan pounced and grabbed the other party's neck, and in the light of light, out of the corner of his eye, he saw another British soldier rushing up again, Qin Chuan hurriedly hugged the British soldier and turned over to block himself......
Qin Chuan only felt that the British soldier on his body trembled violently as if he was taken aback, and soon he relaxed and stopped moving, this British soldier was afraid that he would not expect to die under the bayonets of friendly soldiers.
The "murderer" who mistakenly killed the friendly army did not hesitate at all, although he knew that he had killed his own person by mistake just now, but he stepped on the corpse extremely quickly and pulled out the bayonet, and then planned to make up for Qin Chuan, who fell to the ground and was powerless to fight back.
But at this moment, a bayonet "rubbed" into his neck...... Qin Chuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was Alfredo who saved him.
The submachine gun "clicked" again, and Werner and Keller had already loaded the magazines in time.
However, the situation did not improve, after all, the Germans rushed towards only one company, while the British had at least one regiment, and they were constantly rushing towards the Germans from three directions, like a tidal wave trying to drive the Germans out and fill the gap.
At this time, Qin Chuan noticed an anti-tank grenade on the ground, which should have been dropped by a German soldier in hand-to-hand combat.
Without thinking much about it, Qin Chuan picked up the anti-tank grenade and pulled out the safety pin, and threw the anti-tank grenade out with a shout of "lie down".
With a loud "boom", the grenade hit the tail engine of the tank, and at the same time, all the British soldiers who rushed up fell to the ground, but they soon found that it was useless to lie on the ground, because the tank quickly burned, and even a ball of flames erupted from the rear of it, like a rocket spewing flames from the tail, and the flames burned more than a dozen British soldiers nearby into screaming burning men.
This is still second, these burning men are still running around in the crowd of British troops, and the British troops who were charging with all their strength can only dodge, so they give the Germans a short respite.
Then Werner did the same, grabbed an anti-tank grenade and threw it at the "Crusader" tank in the other direction, and with another "boom", the tank also caught fire without accident.
The engine and fuel tank of the tank were generally rear-mounted, and most tanks in this era ran on gasoline, so it was strange that they could not catch fire once they were blown through.
When Qin Chuan and the others rushed into the enemy camp and fought desperately with the British army, the German troops on the other side were dumbfounded, including of course, the front-line commander Colonel Albridge, he couldn't understand that the defensive line composed of British tanks and soldiers could be broken through by the infantry so easily, and these tanks were new tanks that he had never seen before.
Not only that, but the infantry also killed the British with a company of troops, and then blew up two vehicles...... No, three tanks.
Because just as Colonel Albridge was startled, another British tank was reduced to flames in an explosion.
"Colonel!" The adjutant asked beside him: "I have already checked, it is the unit of the first battalion and the second company, the company commander is Captain Bazel, do you need me to call them back?" ”
Colonel Albridge was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a complicated expression: "No, we should let all the troops rush forward like them!" ”
In fact, there was no need for Colonel Albridge to say that the next moment, the Germans of the entire line of defense launched an attack on the British...... INFANTRY, TO BE EXACT, ATTACKED IN A SIMILAR WAY TO THE BAZEL, FIRING A VOLLEY OF SMOKE GRENADES INTO THE MIDDLE AND THEN CHARGING UNDER THE COVER OF 50MM MORTARS.
In this way, the German soldiers realized that the enemy tanks were like a stone and did not pose any threat to them, and if anything, it was to build a nominal steel line in front of the British army.
The British line soon collapsed, and the British infantry behind the tanks, realizing that their defeat was assured, dropped their tanks and retreated like a tidal wave, leaving only the "Crusader" tanks in place, not knowing what to do...... Several "Crusaders" tried to turn and flee with their speed advantage, but were quickly destroyed by the Germans.
Tanks can be said to be full of blind spots without infantry cover, especially cruiser tanks like the "Crusaders" without heading machine guns, it is even more difficult to withstand the attack of infantry, not to mention the German "No. 3" tank opposite.
It didn't take long for the remaining "Crusader" tanks to open the hatches and raise their hands in surrender, for fear that the Germans would target them if they surrendered late, and they even stretched out the hatch and shook the white flags they didn't know where to find them.
In the last count, there were 26 tanks surrendered, and you must know that the British "Crusader" tanks only had 50 tanks in total, which means that there were more tanks surrendered than tanks damaged in battle.
Qin Chuan's side was under light pressure, and the British troops that were originally rushing towards them like a tide suddenly disappeared, Qin Chuan and his comrades couldn't believe it for a while, and they didn't cheer until they saw the German soldiers rushing from both sides.
"We've won, Sergeant!" Werner hugged Qin Chuan: "I can't believe it, we really won!" ”
"I thought we were done this time!" The baker also joined in: "But Sergeant Flick, once again you saved us, saved us all!" ”
"I'm ......" Keller, who was excited, was still speechless as usual.
"Forget it, Keller!" Werner laughed: "You just have to call it out!" ”
Sure enough, Keller shouted into the sky.
"Very good advice, sergeant!" Bazel patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder: "It turns out that you are right again, but the battle is not over yet, and it is not time to celebrate!" ”
"Yes, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied.
