The decisive battle against the Third Reich

I sorted out the reward information tonight and found that there were more than 100 rewards in more than half a month. Among them, three book friends, 2769, Unpowered Submarine, and First Class Leader, became the helmsmen of this book as soon as they started. It’s really So generous.

Another thing that moved the soldiers was that on the day when "The Chinese Expeditionary Force of the Anti-Japanese War" was concluded, the book's collection suddenly increased by nearly 800. You must know that the number of subscriptions for the Anti-Japanese War was only 1,200, so That day, almost two-thirds of the readers came! Old readers are still very helpful!

Thank you brothers, thank you to all book friends who support soldiers...

Qinchuan's guess was correct. The British army had begun repairing the fortifications left by the Italians three months ago, when they first captured Tobruk.

And because Tobruk is a good deep-water port, the British army can easily transport the steel, cement and other raw materials needed to build bunker fortifications from their colonies, so the entire 30-mile (48-kilometer) defense line has been completely closed. gap.

The Tobruk Defense Line is mainly composed of two lines. The outermost one is the Red Line. There are 140 concrete bunkers in the layers of barbed wire. Each bunker is defended by 20 soldiers, with a light machine gun and a heavy anti-tank gun. and enough supplies to defend for seven days.

It is worth mentioning that most of these bunkers are built underground, and the only parts exposed above the ground are shooting holes and the top of the bunker... This makes it difficult to be discovered and therefore difficult to become a target. The British army even Pile sand around them to look like small dunes.

Two miles behind the red line is the blue line. This is a large deep minefield with barbed wire fences. There are fortifications every 500 yards and a large number of machine guns and anti-tank guns distributed.

It is not difficult to imagine that these fortifications are aimed at the German armored forces... If the German armored forces attack this line of defense, the bunkers on the red line must be removed one by one. Otherwise, if the tanks cross the bunkers and attack the blue line, they will not only fall into the minefield and be unable to move. You will be hit by fire from all directions.

"This is a dead end!" Alfredo said angrily to Qin Chuan: "Sergeant, look at the good things you have done... you have brought all of us to this dead end!"

"That's enough!" Werner grabbed Alfredo's collar and pushed him aside: "Italian, do you need me to remind you how many times the sergeant saved you? There is no sergeant. Without help, you wouldn’t have gotten here!”

Other German soldiers also cast disdainful glances at Alfredo.

"Don't rely on his words!" Bazel comforted Qin Chuan: "The colonel is right. Even if we rush to Tobruk and can't do anything, it is much better than staying in Tengeter and being wiped out!"

"Yes, Sergeant!" said the baker: "You know, we captured and blew up many enemy supplies along the way. This is enough for the British to feel distressed!"

"And chocolate!" Werner said as he stuffed a chocolate into his mouth, threw the packaging bag into the wind and let it float in the wind: "I think this is what the British feel most distressed about, what do you think?"

The soldiers couldn't help laughing. Qin Chuan was also surprised by the calm performance of the German soldiers. You know that this almost represents death. How many people in this world face it calmly and die generously?

Therefore, in Qin Chuan's view, Alfredo's performance was normal.

"We may still have a chance!" Kuhn didn't know whether to comfort Qin Chuan or tell the truth: "The British do not have enough troops, and their military literacy is also very limited!"

"Uh-huh!" Bazel nodded in agreement.

Bazell can also see this. If the British have enough troops, there will be at least a few people in the trenches. At the same time, if the British military quality is good enough, they should wait for the Germans to get close before fighting... That will give The Germans suffered heavy casualties.

It can also be seen from this that the British soldiers were timid: because they were timid, they did not dare to defend in the trenches and hid in bunkers, and because of timidity, they did not dare to attack the German troops at close range.

"But this still doesn't change the fact that we can't break through this line of defense!" Bazel said: "We need artillery and tanks, but we don't have all of them... and the enemy has almost endless bullets!"

There is no doubt about this, because this is the Port of Tobruk, and the British supplies are being continuously sent from the sea and gathered here, so of course they have endless bullets, and it can even be said that they will soon There will be reinforcements coming from the sea, coming from the direction of Chile, and even air power...

"Why don't we choose to surrender?" Alfredo said in a trembling voice: "There is no point in continuing to fight now, right..."

Before Alfredo could finish speaking, Big Bear punched him.

"Shut your mouth, Italian!" said the bear, "or I will shut you up forever!"

As he spoke, Big Bear intentionally showed the pistol on his waist in front of Alfredo. As expected, Alfredo did not dare to say anything more.

While they were talking, the 3rd Infantry Battalion launched another attack, but without any surprise, they were quickly beaten back by the fierce firepower of the British army... In addition to leaving a few corpses on the battlefield, the German army left nothing did not receive.

"Be prepared to sacrifice!" Bazel said to the soldiers.

The soldiers knew what Bazel meant. If they could not break through the enemy's defense line after several attacks, then... they would probably launch a cluster attack on the enemy.

Although this has long been proven to be ineffective, the German army now has no choice.

Sure enough, soon after I heard an order:

"Everyone is ready for battle!"

"Everyone is ready for battle!"

…

The soldiers checked their weapons one after another. Werner also grabbed two grenades from the ammunition box and pinned them to the belt around his waist. He also suggested that Qin Chuan do the same.

"Sergeant!" Werner said: "These grenades can help us clear mines when necessary!"

Qinchuan knew that what Werner said was right, but he had no intention of thinking about it... For Qinchuan, the attack the German army will choose is like the enemy and us lining up neatly to face each other in the era of gunfire. When it comes to shooting, the only difference is that the enemy is hiding in a bunker and holding a machine gun.

Maybe the German soldiers could do this and had the courage to do so, but Qin Chuan was unwilling to do so.

The two "Mosquito" reconnaissance planes that conducted aerial reconnaissance seemed to have noticed the helplessness of the German army. They swooped down from the air and flew over the heads of the German soldiers at low altitude as if to show off, causing the German soldiers to curse but were helpless... "Mosquito" The "Mosquito" reconnaissance aircraft flies very fast, with a maximum speed of 684 kilometers per hour. At this time, the top speed of the "Spitfire", the best fighter in Europe, is only 660 kilometers per hour. In addition, the "Mosquito" reconnaissance aircraft is now It doesn't matter, so the Germans are not willing to waste bullets on these two "Mosquitoes".

However, this gave Qin Chuan an idea. He immediately shouted to Bazel, who was preparing to lead the troops to charge a few meters away: "Captain, can you postpone the attack? I need to see the colonel!"

"Sergeant!" Bazel said without looking back: "Unless you have a way to break through the defense line, otherwise..."

"Yes, I think I have a solution!" Qin Chuan replied: "Although I'm not sure if it's feasible!"

"Are you kidding?" Bazel turned back: "We have nothing, what can we do?"

"Captain!" Werner shouted: "This has nothing to lose for us, right? Why not try it?"

"Yes, Captain!" The baker agreed: "We are all going to die anyway, right? I am willing to try any method, even if the probability of success is extremely low!"

"Okay!" Bazel nodded, then looked to the right and said, "The colonel is over there!"

Then Bazel added: "Sergeant, I'm waiting for your good news!"
