The decisive battle against the Third Reich
Chapter 273 Back Slope
Colonel Colin's intuition was right, especially since Qin Chuan and others intended to build a defense line 100 meters behind the hill... This is very obvious.
But what Colonel Colin didn't expect was that in just over half a month, the German anti-tank equipment with a range of only 30 meters suddenly became 160 meters.
So, Colonel Colin's originally very wise order turned into a disaster.
The tanks slowly rushed towards the German defense line, and the British army urgently needed to go down the hill and set up a formation on the flat ground... The British army charged on the slope, and in addition to the tanks having a "dangerous state of reverse slope", the infantry also had similar problems.
This does not mean that the infantry also has depression angles and elevation angles, and the infantry can raise their guns and shoot anywhere.
The problem is that the slope will allow the infantry following the tank to be higher than the tank body in stages, so the infantry cannot get the cover of the tank.
This is also the reason why Qin Chuan and other German soldiers poured mortars and bullets at the back of the tanks...
Although the British army had tanks, and these tanks could be said to be invincible, these tanks could not hit the enemy on the slope and could not provide cover for the British infantry, so at this particular time, the British tanks were almost equivalent to non-existence.
In fact, the German soldiers also treated these tanks as if they did not exist.
The hill was 300 meters away from the German army, which was within the range of the German 50MM mortar, so the mortar shells blew towards the British army like hail, and only the British infantry fell down in groups.
With a "bang!", Qin Chuan shot down a British soldier on the top of the mountain.
He killed a British sniper.
This was the time when the enemy snipers were sniping, because they were in a high position and had a good geographical advantage, and the top of the mountain was full of British riflemen, so it was difficult for Qin Chuan to recognize the sniper among them... The rifle held by the sniper was the same as that of other British soldiers, an "Enfield" rifle. If there was any difference, it was that there was an extra sniper scope, which was difficult to see under the back of the sun.
But Qin Chuan still saw it, because the sniper had a cloth tape wrapped around the sniper scope... There was nothing wrong with this, the cloth tape could be a camouflage while protecting the sniper scope, and Qin Chuan also had a cloth tape wrapped around his sniper scope.
The problem was that the cloth tape was loose at one corner, and the "corner" of this was "shivering" in the morning breeze of the desert.
So he became the dead soul under Qin Chuan's gun.
The biggest enemy of the sniper is definitely the sniper, so they must also be the most important target.
"Bang!"
The person shot dead this time was a British officer, who looked like a major... Qin Chuan was not sure because the sunlight left only an unclear shadow behind the hill, and Qin Chuan could not see his rank clearly.
But it was not important. What was important was that he was in command, and under his command, the soldiers who wanted to rush up and follow the tanks were looking for cover nearby.
This was correct... The tanks at this time could not provide them with cover, and what they should do was wait, wait for the tanks to drive down the slope and walk onto the flat ground and leave enough space behind them... Then they rushed down and hid behind the tanks.
So, Qin Chuan knew that this officer was a smart officer, in fact, he should be said to be an officer who could fight... There were many smart officers in the British army, but not many who could fight, so he became Qin Chuan's second target.
"Bang!"
The person shot down was a submachine gunner.
Because of the angle, Qin Chuan had not discovered this submachine gunner until Qin Chuan changed to a sniper position.
This submachine gunner was very brave and smart. He actually climbed onto the tank and lay tightly on the back of the tank, using the turret for cover.
If a rifleman or machine gunner did this, it would not pose any threat to the German army. The shaking tank would make it impossible to aim the rifle, and the recoil of the machine gun would shake the shooter off the tank.
But the submachine gunner was different... The submachine gunner did not need to aim to fire a rain of bullets, and at the same time, there was no strong recoil.
This submachine gunner suppressed two mortars with his "Thomson" submachine gun, and at least five German soldiers died in his hands.
If Qin Chuan had not fired a bullet in time, the number would have been even higher. The terrifying ammunition capacity of the "Thomson" submachine gun left a deep impression on everyone.
Then, Qin Chuan tried his best to suppress the British machine gunners and mortarmen on the top of the mountain with his rifle.
However, this task did not seem difficult, because the British soldiers were not very good at shooting, and they were not good at hiding themselves... The 7th Armored Division suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, so a considerable number of British soldiers were recruited.
So Qin Chuan even had time to pay attention to his comrades in the front line... As a sniper, Qin Chuan's position was always further back.
The new recruit named Dominic caught Qin Chuan's attention, that is, the newly joined paratrooper.
His weapon was a submachine gun... Paratroopers always preferred submachine guns because they were more suitable for parachuting and had very fierce firepower.
What made Dominic different was that he used the submachine gun as a sniper rifle, that is, he shot a round and then retracted his head, then jumped to another position at the fastest speed and quickly leaned out to shoot a few more bullets, and so on.
Moreover, he could always knock down a few enemies when he leaned out... This shows that he killed the enemy not by luck, but by completing a series of actions of aiming, shooting, and retracting his head in the shortest time at the moment he leaned out.
"We finally picked up a few new recruits who can fight!" Qin Chuan said secretly: "There should be more new recruits like this!"
On the other side, Colonel John, the head of the British armored regiment and the front-line commander, was furious and loudly ordered the tank troops to use the radio to order: "Speed up and drive out of the slope!"
Tanks dare not go too fast when going downhill, because they are too heavy and the sand on the slope is not solid. If you are not careful, you will slide down the slope and roll a few times...
Maybe it's okay for a thick-skinned tank to roll a few times. If you are lucky, it can even be driven if it rolls upright on the ground.
The problem is that the tank crew inside may be hit by the tank parts and bleed or even die.
But even so, several tanks successfully stepped onto the flat ground.
So they were like hungry wolves that had broken free from their ropes. They immediately adjusted their guns and tanks to aim at the German defense line, and at the same time, the machine guns fired rows of bullets at the German defense line.
Immediately afterwards, one tank after another successfully completed this "journey" and stood in front of the German soldiers. Their tanks seemed to be announcing to the German soldiers...the time for their revenge had come.
