The decisive battle against the Third Reich

A group of people from Qinchuan were clearing out enemies in Aghdabia street by street and room by room.

The intensity of the battle is not high, but it is very dangerous, because you never know where a rifle will suddenly appear and shoot a bullet and take your life, or there will be a trap set in which building.

Qinchuan and his comrades had seen a terrifying scene: German soldiers from another squad searched a private house according to standard procedures. Like other troops, they threw a grenade through the window and then swarmed in to fight with the enemy. ...But not long after they rushed in, they heard a "boom" and the entire house collapsed in an explosion, and all the German soldiers were buried inside.

Seeing this, the baker was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief with a thankful expression.

Everyone knows what the baker means... They were supposed to clean up the house, but the baker temporarily decided to take a break and let everyone adjust their ammunition.

The so-called adjustment of ammunition means that in the previous battle, some people's ammunition was used up and some people still had remaining. In order for everyone to play a role in the next battle without affecting the overall combat effectiveness, the ammunition needs to be adjusted. Take inventory and reallocate.

Qin Chuan counted and found that he had twenty-five rounds of ammunition left... This was a bit worrying, because the amount of ammunition was not even enough to deal with an emergency.

But Qin Chuan soon discovered that the other riflemen had even less ammunition left than him. They only had less than twenty rounds.

What surprised Qin Chuan was that instead of taking the bullet from Qin Chuan, the baker gave him seven more rounds.

Seeing the puzzled expression on Qin Chuan's face, the baker explained: "We don't want you to run out of bullets at any time, and I think other people will have no objection to this!"

The baker was right, and no one protested, not even Paul.

Because everyone knew very well that the more bullets Qin Chuan had in his hand, the safer everyone was, otherwise... he would be the next one to die.

After getting ready for battle again, everyone was thinking about one question: Where is the main force of the British army? And the British tanks that are thickly armored but slow? !

Although there had been several battles before, they were all small-scale battles. There were only a few or a dozen British troops in the captured buildings... To be precise, they were Australian troops.

Qin Chuan did not realize this at first, because the Australians looked the same as the British and their uniforms looked the same, but the baker recognized them as Australian troops.

"Look at this!" The baker picked off a button from a corpse and threw it to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan took it and took a look, and quickly understood... there was a map of Australia on the button.

"In addition!" the baker said: "They also wear the "Sunrise" badge on the collar of their coats and the lower left part of the hat edge... What's more important is that the British army generally does not carry out such dangerous missions!"

"They are second-class citizens in the British army!" Werner laughed: "And the British are the superior people!"

Qin Chuan also felt that it made sense.

Qin Chuan had wondered before, how could the British fight such a bloody battle with the Germans in the building? Although the intensity of this kind of battle is not great, it requires a strong will to fight!

In this era, Britain was known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" with colonies all over the world, which also meant that they had a high status in the world... A force that was accustomed to enjoying itself and had a "noble" status rarely met face to face. Fight the enemy and hold on until the end.

However, if they were Australian troops, this would all be explained.

The baker's guess was correct. They encountered indeed Australian troops. Their designation was the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Australian 6th Division. The mission of the 2nd Infantry Regiment was to disperse as many people as possible in the buildings in Aghdabia. The enemy creates trouble and consumes the enemy's vitality.

Wavell, the commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Middle East (note: the British Eighth Army had not yet been formed at this time), had the idea that on the one hand, this could delay the German offensive, and on the other hand, it could make the German army a tired force, etc. When they hit the core, the British defense line, they were unable to attack.

Wavell's actions were obviously selfish, because he put the Australian army in charge of a battle that could almost be said to be a life-for-life battle with the enemy, while the British army was waiting for the arrival of the Germans on the defense line and was ready to win the victory. Fruit preparation.

But so what?

This is an era where fists and strength mean everything. As a British colony, Australia is naturally sacrificed by the British.

Soon, Qin Chuan and others quickly knew where the British were.

As the baker and his troops were advancing step by step, the sound of artillery and gunfire from the front suddenly became intense.

Then they heard a communications soldier yelling at them: "Hurry up, we've encountered the enemy's main force ahead!"

The soldiers grabbed their weapons and equipment and followed the path indicated by the signal trooper.

Turning left and right on the cleared streets, the sound of gunfire became louder and louder, and soon they came to the forefront of the battlefield.

The German tanks were attacking the enemy's defense line, but unfortunately they were obviously unable to break through the enemy's defense line, because the wreckage of five tanks and hundreds of German corpses had been piled up in front of the ruins of the building, without exception. It is facing forward and holding the weapon.

Qin Chuan raised his sniper rifle and looked across the way, and suddenly saw a series of "Matildas" in the scope.

Obviously, the British used tanks to build a line of defense. They hid the tanks in buildings with only the barrels or a small part of the turret and frontal armor exposed to facilitate shooting. Behind the tanks were hidden men holding various weapons. Infantry, and then artillery.

"Why don't they use 88 anti-aircraft guns?" the baker asked with some confusion.

After Qinchuan commanded the 88 anti-aircraft gun to repel the British tanks, this thing has become an artifact against British tanks.

Qin Chuan looked at the opposite side and the surrounding environment, and replied: "The 88 anti-aircraft gun may not be able to work!"

"Yes!" Werner continued: "There are buildings everywhere here, and the 88 anti-aircraft gun must get close to fire, which will make it a target for the enemy!"

This is very obvious. The reason why the 88 anti-aircraft gun can become an artifact for fighting tanks is that it can easily penetrate the frontal armor of the "Matilda" from one kilometer away, but if it is blocked by a building, it must be pulled in front of the enemy tank. ...For the enemy tanks, it is just a matter of a few rounds.

"The more important thing is that..." Qin Chuan raised his head towards the high-rise building on the British defense line: "That high-rise building is probably the tallest building in this area. You can clearly see the mobilization of our army from there, 88 The anti-aircraft artillery is a big thing. As soon as it comes in, it will be discovered by the enemy and intercepted by enemy fire! "
