The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Soon, the soldiers looked at Qin Chuan differently, because this was something the army had never seen before. A sergeant could actually decide the strategic direction of the entire army... This could almost be said to be Qin Chuan's Take command of the troops.

"You know?" Werner said to Qin Chuan: "I feel more relieved after I know that this plan is from your hands!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Because I know what you're capable of!" Werner smiled: "More importantly, I know you can't come up with a way to kill yourself, right?"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh. Werner was also a smart man and knew that Qin Chuan would not be stupid enough to put himself to death.

At this time an order was passed down:

"Full speed ahead!"

"Full speed ahead!"

…

The troops accelerated their march again. When everyone was confused, Bazel shouted to Qinchuan from a few meters away: "Sergeant, the colonel asked me to tell you, you guessed it right, the British are in Tugel and There are only a few troops stationed in the stronghold in the east, and most of them are logistics personnel. This is the information we just got from the British general. We are in luck!"

The German soldiers couldn't help but let out a small cheer, and then the soldiers cheered loudly.

Werner even joked: "Did you hear that? We are going to be lucky. What did you think of? I thought of Feiwen Marie. I hope to capture her in Tugela!"

(Note: Vivian Marie is an American movie star who won the 12th Academy Award for Best Actress for the movie "Gone with the Wind")

"Werner!" the baker reminded: "Feiwen Marie is an American, and you want to capture her from the British!"

"What the hell!" Werner replied: "They all speak English!"

The soldiers couldn't help but burst out into laughter.

"Silence!"

"Silence!"

…

The order passed down let the soldiers know that the target was ahead.

"Get ready for battle!" Bazel ordered.

So everyone took their guns off their backs, did some basic checks, and loaded their rifles.

"Follow me!" Bazel, who was in front, turned around and ordered softly: "Don't shoot unless you have to, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

Under the leadership of Bazel, everyone ran forward with their backs bent. After climbing over a sand dune, they saw piles of bonfires... This made Qin Chuan and others a little unbelievable.

It is not impossible to build a campfire in the desert. In fact, lighting a fire in the desert is one of the survival skills.

As mentioned before, there is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert, and the temperature often drops to minus one degree at night. Bonfires can not only keep warm, but also scare away wild animals to avoid attacks.

but……

This technique is only effective in peacetime. If you build a bonfire in a state of war... it almost means indicating your position to the enemy, so the Germans are strictly prohibited from doing this.

This also shows how lax the British army's defense is...but this is exactly what the German army hopes.

It was easy to judge from the bonfire that the target was about one kilometer ahead. This distance should be said to be still far away, but the troops obviously planned to catch the enemy off guard before the sky got bright, so they speeded up again and moved towards the bonfire.

Eight hundred meters.

Qin Chuan saw several machine gunners stop. They assembled the MG34 with tripods as quickly as possible and built a simple trench.

The MG34 is the world's first general-purpose machine gun...that is, a machine gun that can be used as a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun.

This was actually the result of the Treaty of Versailles. After World War I, Britain, France and other countries did not allow Germany to produce heavy machine guns, so the Germans came up with a way: to produce a machine gun that looked like a light machine gun but could be turned into a heavy machine gun at any time. Machine gun stuff, this stuff is the MG34.

If you install a 75-round drum magazine on it, then from a traditional perspective it is a veritable light machine gun.

But if you install a tripod on it and feed it with a 200-round ammunition belt, it turns into a heavy machine gun. It can even be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun when two of them are put together to masturbate...

At this time, the German machine gunners used it as a heavy machine gun. When they were ready, it could be said that the battle was half won, and the British army was not even aware of it at this time.

Five hundred meters.

Another wave of MG34s was assigned. This wave was obviously used as light machine guns. Along with them were several riflemen, who served as covering fire for the machine guns.

Qin Chuan stopped moving forward and found a place to lie down. After thinking about it, he picked up the gun and ran a few dozen meters to the side to find another position... The position just now was too close to the machine gun, and the enemy's attention could easily be attracted by the machine gun and harm Qinchuan.

Qin Chuan raised his rifle and looked forward. Only then did he realize that the British soldiers in front of him should be car soldiers... The flickering bonfire faintly illuminated the "Matador" military cars parked neatly behind them.

Two hundred meters.

The British army had not yet discovered the German army that was approaching them. It was obvious that their sentry was asleep.

But at this time the German army began to hesitate.

Because at this time they faced two choices: continue to move forward or start the battle on the spot.

The former may not be a good choice, because it will lead to hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, and it will also cause the Germans to lose all the advantage of the arranged firepower...the enemy and our machine guns are mixed together and cannot fire.

The latter, if the battle started here, seemed to have given up a good opportunity for a sneak attack.

The German army obviously chose the latter, because Qinchuan saw that they had arranged the 50MM mortars... This kind of platoon is commonly equipped with short-barreled mortars by the German army. Almost every platoon has one, which can be very powerful at close range. combat effectiveness.

Then, under the command of the officer, a mortarman pointed the shell at the mortar muzzle and released it lightly... with a "canopy" sound, a shell was fired.

The artillery shell hit a pile of bonfires accurately, causing only sparks and residual fire to fly everywhere. The British soldiers who were sleeping soundly on the blankets woke up from their dreams in an instant. Their first reaction was to reach for their guns and turn over to check the situation...

But they were all in the bonfire and could not see clearly what was going on outside the bonfire. However, the German army could see them clearly, and then there was more violent gunfire, and bullets and artillery shells rained down on the British army. , the British army was immediately stunned.

After fighting for a while, the German troops stopped. Then someone raised a loudspeaker and shouted to the British troops in English: "Those who want to survive, raise your hands. Any resistance is meaningless. You are already surrounded!"

Obviously, the Germans wanted to save ammunition, otherwise they would not be interested in taking prisoners.

The British troops were obedient and raised their hands to surrender, but Qin Chuan didn't even pull the trigger at this time.
