The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"Boom!" The grenade made a loud noise outside.

Of course, grenades cannot blow up tanks, but grenades can kill or injure the British infantry following the tanks... This is also Qinchuan's purpose.

Almost at the same time as the explosion, Qin Chuan jumped off the table, jumped to the window and raised his gun... At this time, the tank had already passed the window, completely exposing the infantry following it to Qin Chuan.

And these infantrymen were stunned by Qin Chuan's grenade just now. They were either lying on the ground or their heads were bleeding and they were unable to fight back.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan pulled the trigger.

Qin Chuan did not aim. The distance between us and the enemy was only a few meters away. The gray dust on the British soldiers' faces could even be seen clearly.

It was almost impossible to miss at this distance. The bullet hit a British soldier without any accident. The inertia of the bullet caused his body to lean back, as if there was a rope dragging him behind. Then he slowly fell down.

Qin Chuan saw unwilling regret in the eyes of this British soldier... He held a Mills grenade in his hand and told Qin Chuan the answer. As long as Qin Chuan was delayed for a few seconds, he would pull the grenade away. safety pin and throw it in through the window.

Obviously, if he succeeds, Qin Chuan will be the one who dies.

But there are never ifs on the battlefield. A few seconds of delay can be the difference between life and death.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan didn't dare to think too much. He pulled the gun bolt as quickly as possible and then pulled the trigger again to knock down a British soldier.

At this time, Qin Chuan became a little nervous, because he noticed that there were seven or eight British soldiers behind the tank. They had recovered from the explosion of grenades and noticed the window where Qin Chuan was.

Qin Chuan knew what this meant: he only had a K98K in his hand, but the British army had an "Enfield" rifle with a much faster firing rate. Qin Chuan even found a British soldier holding a "Tom" rifle in his hand. Sen" submachine gun.

(Note: The British army lost a large amount of equipment during the Dunkirk retreat. The Sten submachine gun it urgently developed has not been installed in large numbers at this time. Most of the submachine guns equipped in the early days of the North African War were "Thomson" submachine guns provided by the United States. gun.)

Needless to say what will happen next, the British army will block Qinchuan's window with firepower, and then throw a few grenades in... Qinchuan's life will be over.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and fired another bullet.

The bullet first hit a British rifleman and then the submachine gunner behind him.

Qin Chuan had heard before that secondary injuries were more serious than primary injuries. Qin Chuan had been dubious about this until he saw the British submachine gunner in the rear being knocked down to the ground as if he had been hit hard in the chest and killed on the spot.

This is probably because the bullet was no longer strong enough to penetrate the second person, so all the kinetic energy was released into the body. But both the front and back are dead, so what difference does it make in which way?

However, at this time, Qin Chuan had no time to load the gun again... The disadvantage of the bolt-action rifle was that its rate of fire was too slow. At this time, several British soldiers had raised their guns towards Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan did not even have time to dodge... For the first time, Qin Chuan felt that death was so close to him. He seemed to have seen a bullet coming from the barrel of the gun. He ejaculated and then made a bloody hole in his head.

At this moment, with a burst of gunshots, all the British soldiers screamed and fell down.

It was Werner and Keller, leaning out from the other side of the street and knocking the British to the ground with their MP40s.

Qin Chuan was stunned for a few seconds, then realized that the battle was not over yet, so he raised his gun again, pointed it at the British troops in other directions, and pulled the trigger.

As bullets were fired from the barrel of the gun, Qin Chuan found that he had broken out in cold sweat on his back.

The British infantry was successfully blocked on the other side of the street by Qin Chuan and others, but the tank still kept driving forward without knowing anything... The tank's external perception ability is very poor, especially during combat, the commander did not dare to open the turret. If they stick their heads out, they can only hide inside and use periscopes to observe, and their attention is almost entirely focused on the front. What happens behind them can only be left to the infantry or God.

So, a German soldier emerged from the building, holding an anti-tank grenade in his hand... It was a PWM impact-explosion anti-tank grenade. Its appearance resembled a flask commonly seen in chemistry classes, with the mouth of the bottle A very long one, the semicircular hood on the head ensures the accuracy of the throwing direction, and there is an umbrella-shaped stabilizing tail on the handle to further ensure the stability during flight.

The German soldier swung the anti-tank grenade at the tank... The anti-tank grenade spread its tail fins in the air, like a small umbrella, and then hit the rear of the tank head-first.

"Boom", the tank caught fire after a violent explosion.

"Matilda" uses a gasoline engine, which can easily ignite. Soon, the ammunition in the tank exploded. After a loud bang, the entire turret was thrown into the air and then fell heavily to the ground. The tank crew inside must have died, and no one could be seen.

The German soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another "rumble" of motor sounds from the other end of the street.

The soldiers couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't understand how there were so many British tanks in this inconspicuous town. And if the British army had so many tanks, why should they be deployed in such places? A city suitable for tank operations? !

This also makes the German soldiers feel lucky. Otherwise, if these tanks were lined up outside the city and supplemented by infantry firepower... If you want to capture it without the 88 anti-aircraft gun, you don't know how much it will cost. .

Now it's a different story, because as we all know tanks are not suitable for street fighting.

This is because the buildings in the city will block the sight of the tank, preventing it from taking advantage of long-range firepower, and making it inconvenient to maneuver. On the other hand, it is because infantry can use the cover of buildings to approach the tank from all directions and destroy it.

As a result, one British tank after another was blown up by the Germans.

The British soon realized they could not win and surrendered.

What surprised the Germans was that after statistics, it was found that Tengeter had a total of thirty-eight "Matilda" tanks. Twenty of them were blown up by the Germans during the battle, and the other eighteen all fell into the hands of the Germans. And it's well preserved.

In fact, the British army could choose to blow up these tanks and then surrender at this time, but the British army did not do so because they were worried that the German army would retaliate against them and kill them all.

But it turned out that even this could not save their lives.
