The commander may have attacked Tengeteng without fire cover for two reasons:

On the one hand, there were no fortifications worth bombing on the periphery, such as trenches, pillboxes, or barbed wire.

It is important to know that the ammunition carried by the troops is not sufficient, and it is foreseeable that the troops will not be able to be replenished for a long time after that, so it is necessary to save ammunition.

On the other hand, the commander wants to take Tengeteng in its entirety, so that the troops can make better use of Tengeten's house as cover instead of getting a ruin, and they also hope to capture ammunition from Tengeteng for the troops to spare.

It turned out that the Germans were underestimated, and the armed forces of Tengeterri were not as vulnerable as they thought.

The attacking troops ran towards Tenggtenger at a speed of about a dozen yards, first in a column, and then quickly turned into a three-way way towards Tenggtenger...... This was the standard way for the Germans to attack, and if possible, the Germans outflanking the flanks would also penetrate the rear of the target to attack the enemy's weak points.

The people outside Tenggtenger soon spotted the German troops running towards them, and the people fled back to the city in horror, several women covered in black clothes threw the water tank on their heads to the ground in a panic, and Qin Chuan seemed to see clear water overflowing from the broken jar and seeping into the sand.

This is a good sign, which shows that the enemy is not prepared, otherwise it would have been gunfire.

It's just that these people are not wise enough, and in this case they should stay outside the city...... The German soldiers would not waste bullets shooting these civilians, and the city would soon become a battlefield.

As expected, the soldiers stormed the city without encountering any resistance...... When they rushed in, the German soldiers realized that there were not no British troops on the periphery of Tengeten, but they did not dare to shoot.

The British were very small in number, almost sentinel-in-nature, and they were obviously frightened by the sudden appearance of so many German troops, so they chose to throw up their hands and surrender at the first opportunity.

But it didn't make a difference, the Germans didn't hesitate to shoot them...... The Germans did not bother to take prisoners, because they knew that there would be a fierce battle after the capture of Tengetenl, and they were not even sure that they would survive today, and of course they would not leave the British prisoners to cause chaos for themselves.

Then the gunfire became more and more intense, and some British prisoners tried to pick up their guns and resist when they realized that surrender could not save their lives, but the German bullets quickly knocked them to the ground.

Later, the Germans realized that this was a mistake, because the gunfire alerted the British troops in Tengetenne and prepared them for battle, and they were the more important ones.

Thinking that the battle was almost over, Bazel gave a loud order: "Search every house and find any Englishman you can find, any one!" ”

This is understandable, if the German army wants to garrison here and build a defensive line, then first of all, it must ensure that there will be no enemy in the city, otherwise the German army will not only face a flank attack, but also an internal and external attack.

The troops searched and advanced along the streets, and everything went very smoothly, the British were obviously unprepared, they had not had time to mix in with the people, so the houses were overwhelmingly populous, and all the German soldiers had to do was to pull them out and concentrate them in one place to control them.

Qin Chuan was a little afraid to face up to those poor people, because he felt that he had no right to do so...... Break open the doors of the people, and then drive them out of their homes, and take their food and water for themselves.

But this is war, Qin Chuan clearly knows that the homes of these people are destined to be in ruins, because the German army chose this place as a battlefield, and it will become a place of competition for both the enemy and the enemy.

This seems unfair to the Libyan inhabitants, who did not offend the Germans or the British, who just wanted to live on this land, but had no choice but to fall victim to the great power struggle.

At this moment, Kuhn, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand to signal the troops to stop, and Qin Chuan noticed the sound of a motor coming from the opposite corner...... It is not so noticeable in the sound of gunfire and the shouts of the people.

In fact, this is related to the fact that Qin Chuan is used to hearing the motor sound of the car in modern times, and he does not regard this motor sound as a danger signal at all.

Think about it later...... In Tengatenger, it is impossible for the people to have cars, and the German cars are behind, and the British army is unlikely to drive cars to fight, so there is only one possibility: it is the British tank.

"Spread out and hide!" Kuhn commanded loudly: "Tank! ”

At this time, Qin Chuan realized what was in front of him, and hurriedly leaned to the side.

Sure enough, I saw a black hole in the barrel of the tank sticking out from the corner, and then a shell was fired with a "boom".

Qin Chuan could even feel the whirlwind and heat of the cannonballs flying in front of him...... This is a little unimaginable, if it is played in slow motion, you can see a cannonball flying in front of Qin Chuan, less than a meter away from Qin Chuan, and then hitting a house dozens of meters away......

There was another loud bang, the shells exploded and shot out countless shrapnel and house debris, Qin Chuan saw that the first dozen German soldiers behind him were buried in the collapsed houses on the spot, and they disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant before they had time to shout.

Then Qin Chuan found that he was almost naked in front of the tank's firepower, and hurriedly turned around and kicked open the door next to him and rushed in......

There was a scream in the darkness of the room, and seven or eight people were huddled in a ball, mostly women and children, including a bearded adult man with a kitchen knife in his hand...... Yes, kitchen knives!!

Qin Chuan didn't have time to pay attention to them, glanced at the furnishings in the room, dragged the table against the wall with a gun in one hand and the other hand, climbed onto the table with his hands and feet and looked out through the vents...... Qin Chuan didn't dare to look out of the window, because he knew that it was the area that the enemy's machine guns and infantry were focused on "taking care of".

Sure enough, immediately behind Qin Chuan, several Germans stood on the window and set up their guns, but before they could pull the trigger, a row of bullets came in, and they immediately turned into corpses.

Because of the high position of the vent, Qin Chuan could not see the enemy, which was one of the reasons why the enemy ignored it.

But the enemy did not expect a little: the tank could be seen through the vents......

The "Matilda" tank is 2.5 meters high, and Qin Chuan can clearly see the tank turret passing in front of him, and from time to time it turns an angle with a "click" sound.

Qin Chuan did not hesitate, took out the M24 grenade from the belt, and threw it out of the vent after it was ignited.
