The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The tanks and infantry rumbled along the streets toward the port.

Then the German soldiers saw a line of defense, which was still built with sandbags, but this time it was defended. This could be seen from the muzzles protruding from the sandbags and the helmets with only the top exposed.

Then someone shouted in English: "They are coming!"'

But before he finished speaking, the tank gun adjusted the angle of its muzzle amidst a burst of noise, and then with a "boom", a large gap was opened in the defense line.

Where the British soldiers dared to resist, some raised their hands and surrendered on the spot, while others fled back amid the screams of their comrades.

Then, the tanks "creeped" and drove up. When they reached the bottom of the street, the surroundings suddenly opened up. What they saw was a group of British soldiers crowded on the pier. There were a lot of people. On the other end of the pier, there were more than a dozen landing craft. Apparently the British fleet planned to use these transport boats to rescue as many as they could.

The British soldiers panicked as soon as they saw the German tanks appearing in front of them. Some of the people in front raised their hands and surrendered when they saw that they would definitely not be able to escape. The British soldiers at the dock thought there was still hope of escape and crowded around to get on the ship. You As soon as I was pushed, many people fell into the sea.

The tank unceremoniously aimed at the landing craft and fired a shell with a "bang". Although it missed and exploded in the sea water, it frightened the landing craft so much that it quickly started and headed towards the sea... Some heroes The soldiers climbed on the landing craft and couldn't stand firm, so they fell off a lot.

However, not many of these landing craft could escape, because the Italian fighter planes quickly swooped down and fired a row of bullets, hitting one of the landing craft bright red on the spot. Perhaps the pilot was shot Killed, the landing craft drew an arc on the sea and hit the dock at high speed. With a "boom", there was a scream from the dock.

An Italian bomber dropped a bomb. Although the bomb failed to hit the landing craft, the huge waves caused it to overturn. Then another fighter plane fired two rows of bullets downward... The bullets stirred up two high water lines in the sea water. Where the water lines passed, more than a dozen British soldiers were knocked down in a pool of blood. The sea water suddenly turned bright red.

But the British navy a few miles away... they were powerless to do anything about it.

They did not even dare to use anti-aircraft guns to shoot at those Italian fighters, because as we all know, if the angle of the anti-aircraft guns is lower than 45 degrees, the shells are likely to explode on the ground, and the result will be to kill a large number of British troops gathered at the port. Soldier.

Soon, German tanks poured out of several street entrances one after another, and they completely surrounded the port.

Colonel Slaine raised his trumpet and shouted to the British soldiers with high spirits: "Nice to see you, soldiers of the 15th Infantry Division! I think any resistance is meaningless, what do you think?" Or do you still want to try it?”

Of course the British army understood what Colonel Slane meant, so thousands of British soldiers raised their hands one after another.

The First Infantry Regiment is not interested in accepting prisoners, because for a unit like the First Infantry Regiment that is used to fighting in the desert, every prisoner is just a mouth to eat and drink. Not only does it have no use, but it also It will consume a lot of precious supplies.

Goering's division was a new force, and they had no shadow of this. At the same time, they needed military exploits, so they organized and accommodated prisoners of war.

Qin Chuan, Colonel Slaine and others opened the doors of each warehouse. They cheered when they saw the British canned beef, canned fruit, etc., and then moved to the car without saying a word, such as cigarettes and chocolates. , beer, etc., all the food was carried into the car. It was not enough to fill the car. They unbuttoned their clothes and stuffed them inside. Some people even moved and ate at the same time. The one who wolfed it down looked at the others. They all couldn't help but laugh.

It's not that the soldiers are "short-sighted", it's that the soldiers eat bread and potatoes every day and the taste of birds has faded away from their mouths.

Moreover, other supplies such as piles of artillery shells and bullets are of little use to the German army. If they are of any use, they are used to transport them to the guerrillas.

The most useful thing should be fuel. Although Algeria has dug out oil, no amount of this stuff is too much, not to mention that Algeria will not be able to produce gasoline for a while.

After stuffing a piece of chocolate into his mouth and enjoying its slightly bitter sweetness, Qin Chuan instantly felt that his fatigue was relieved.

He found a seat on the beach and sat down, silently watching the British Navy retreating... They were worried that if they continued to stay here, they would be bombed again by German and Italian aircraft. After all, the air superiority in this area no longer belonged to them.

"Captain!" Colonel Slaine sat next to Qin Chuan and sighed: "Your plan has succeeded again!"

"It's just luck!" Qin Chuan replied: "We need it very much!"

"Yes!" Colonel Slain nodded.

He understood what Qin Chuan meant. Even if the German army won the war, the Allies were still much stronger than the German army, and there was still a long way to go to defeat them.

"Where are the rest of the British and Americans?" Colonel Slain asked: "I mean, the American Third Division, and the British troops in the direction of Catania!"

Qin Chuan shook his head and said: "It is difficult for us to capture them, or... we need to pay a heavy price to capture them!"

"Just like America does on the beachhead!" Colonel Slaine agreed.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "They have sufficient ammunition, and they also have sea control, and air control will soon return to their hands... I mean, the British will transfer the North African air wing to the island of Malta. In this way, the British can build a defense line similar to the US military beachhead on the Catania Plain. Any troops approaching this defense line will first have to pass through naval guns, fighter planes and bombers! "

"Then..." Slaine said: "They can use landing craft and lifeboats to rescue the soldiers one by one!"

Qin Chuan nodded: "But tanks, cars, armored vehicles... these things have to stay!"

"Of course they're going to blow these things up!" said Colonel Slaine. "Just like they did on the battlefield in Africa!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan joked: "The British are already very experienced in this area!"

Colonel Slain couldn't help laughing: "Yes, they are very good at doing this!"
