The unbelieving British made several more attempts, one of which they brought with them flamethrowers.

The British army used American M1 flamethrowers...... In fact, the British also have their own flamethrower, the flamethrower used by the British army has a strange shape, perhaps for ease of carrying, the British army made the fuel tank into a circle, and there is a small air compression bottle in the middle, so the British soldiers gave it the nickname "lifebuoy".

It should be said that the British soldiers were quite creative in giving nicknames to their weapons and equipment.

However, the British army in North Africa was not equipped with flamethrowers...... Before, it was fought in the desert, and the open terrain of the desert was not suitable for flamethrower combat, the terrain here was empty, and the range of the flamethrower was very short, only about 20 meters, and it was difficult for the flamethrower to run away so close to the enemy in the open terrain.

Secondly, grenades can be thrown at a distance of about 50 meters, and before that, mortars can be used for shifts, so flamethrowers become useless here. (Flamethrowers are more suitable for dealing with enemy complex fortifications on complex terrain)

Fortunately, the British army was not equipped with the American army, but there were a lot of equipment, so the British army urgently transferred dozens of them from the American army.

In fact, the British army not only used flamethrowers, but also brought in American flamethrowers...... The British didn't know how to operate this thing, and although it sounded pretty simple, the weaponry was especially a very dangerous weapon like the flamethrower, which would burn itself if it was not properly operated.

This is not an exaggeration, because it spews flames, and there will be strict specifications when operating, such as the spray gun must have a certain upward angle, below which the flame is very empty and easy to fall under the feet of the sprayer and ignite itself.

The Germans, of course, were wary of this...... The flamethrower was invented by the Germans, and of course they knew that it was a weapon against caves and bunkers.

So when building the tunnel fortifications, Dominic asked Qin Chuan: "What if the enemy uses flamethrowers?" ”

"They can't threaten us with that!" The baker said, "The pit has turned two corners!" ”

At this time, the flamethrower did not use napalm, but used a petroleum-blended fuel, which had a short range, a short burning time, and the flame did not splash and did not bend along the tunnel.

"Of course!" Dominic replied, "They can't burn us, but that's not what I'm talking about, that thing drains the air in the tunnel!" ”

Obviously, Dominica is more experienced in this area than the Afrika Korps.

Later, I learned that Dominic, as a paratrooper who had fought with the Soviets on the Eastern Front, had the experience of killing Soviet soldiers hiding in caves with flamethrowers.

Of course, Qin Chuan will not let this happen, the US military has not used flamethrowers on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and at that time it still used napalm fuel with a longer range and greater power.

The British used flamethrowers for the seventh attack, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon...... The British had not stopped fighting since the morning, either shelling or attacking.

When the attack fails, they will retreat, learn from their experience, and then try again with a different trick.

This time, of course, the attempt was a flamethrower.

At this time, they have become smarter, and they specially pick a few pit mouths that are not very well covered...... That way, they don't have to worry about a few bullets coming from their backs every now and then.

And the flamethrower has the added benefit of being a curve instead of a straight line...... It's like water spewing out of a faucet, tilt it up at an angle and it will spew out in an arc under the influence of gravity.

This allows the Shooter to shoot without having to stand directly in front of the mouth of the tunnel, thus avoiding the danger of being shot by a sniper in the tunnel.

However, for safety reasons, the British dropped several incendiary bombs at the mouth of the tunnel...... If you let an enemy sniper hit the fuel bottle, it won't be a joke, and in an instant the outside will burn into a mountain of flames.

Then, to be precise, the U.S. flamethrower climbed from the bottom up to the position suitable for spraying, and the moment he stood up, he pulled the trigger and sprayed flames towards the mouth of the tunnel...... Jetters generally stand up and be prepared to retreat before spraying, not because they are afraid of being shot by the enemy, but because they are afraid that the flames will burn themselves. For the same reason, it is obviously very dangerous to spray in the lying position, so it is generally not used.

In the tunnel, German snipers immediately realized the danger when they saw the flames spewing from the mouth of the tunnel.

As mentioned before, the curved pit is not a concern about these flames spraying into the mouth of the pit...... They even stay in the first half of the tunnel, but the flames will deplete the already small amount of air in the tunnel, and if the British continue to spray, the tunnel will soon be in a state of hypoxia.

"Flames!" The sniper turned back and shouted.

"Flames!" The news was passed by one after another.

When it reached the mouth of the tunnel, several German soldiers guarding there immediately moved sandbags that had been prepared long ago and piled them on the narrow mouth of the tunnel, and when they were finished, they shoveled up a few piles of soil from the ground to fill the gap.

That way, of course, the air won't be pumped out.

In fact, it was safer to be burned by the British army: the passage from the mouth of the tunnel to the section of the main tunnel became an oxygen-free zone, and the British wanted to attack quickly, but they were afraid that they would have to carry oxygen cylinders on their backs first.

The British troops outside were in a very awkward situation at this time...... They don't know if it's working, because they can't see the enemy at all.

"What's your order, sir!" The U.S. flamethrower asked Major Eugène, who had already finished spraying three fuel drums with another flamethrower.

Major Eugène had two options before him:

One is to continue to burn like this, but there will always be an end to burning, and there are not many flamethrowers carried by the US military, not to mention that if it burns endlessly, no amount of fuel barrels will be enough.

The other is to go in and see if the enemy is burned to death, that is, to see if this method is useful.

However...... What if the enemy doesn't die? Entering was tantamount to suicide, and Eugène had already seen the panic in the eyes of the British commandos.

But this moment was still coming, and after consuming another pair of fuel canisters, Major Eugène waited for ten minutes to allow air to enter the mouth of the tunnel...... Then he nodded to the commandos.

Several of the commandos nodded, took a few deep breaths, threw in a grenade as usual, and rushed in with the force of its explosion.

"Bang!" Gunshots rang out again in the tunnel, and Major Eugène knew that the tactic had failed again.
