Another advantage of the Valentine tank was that it was smaller than the Matilda, which meant a small bullet area, and it was dark at night, so it was difficult for the anti-tank gunner to aim and shoot accurately.

"Retreat!" Looking at the tanks that were getting closer and closer, Bazel could only give the order to retreat.

Of course, during the retreat, the German soldiers also planted mines on the road to hold back the enemy tanks.

Ten minutes later the soldiers retreated to the second, or arguably last, line of defense, because ......

"We have no way back!" Bazel said a little nervously: "Behind is the warehouse, and if you go back, you will hand over the warehouse to them!" ”

After a pause, Bazel ordered the baker: "Otto, go and prepare to blow up the warehouse......

"But Captain!" The baker was a little reluctant.

"Go!" Bazel ordered.

"Yes!" The baker answered.

"Captain!" Qin Chuan interjected: "Maybe we don't need to blow up the warehouse, we can blow up the entrance to the warehouse, so that the British can't seize the warehouse or blow them up for the time being!" ”

The warehouse is an underground warehouse, and the entrance is a ramp from the underground to the surface, and if the entrance is blown up, a large amount of sand and concrete will block the warehouse entrance.

"But so what?" Bazel replied: "They're going to take the warehouse back eventually!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan knew that even Bazel thought they were dead.

But Qin Chuan was not reconciled.

However, then Qin Chuan was angry again: What can you do if you are unwilling? Dozens of British tanks and armored vehicles were advancing on the Germans, who had little equipment to counter them.

If nothing else, the tanks, temporarily held back by mines, would come in ten minutes and roll them all under the tracks, or beat them to pieces with machine guns.

Qin Chuan's mind couldn't help but flash the scene of the tank running over the human body and bringing up a piece of flesh and rags, as well as the crunch sound of the track running over the bones like dry wood breaking...... This made Qin Chuan feel his bones itch.

There was an explosion in the darkness ahead, and it was a British army clearing the roads with grenades for tanks...... Theoretically, tanks can run over infantry mines, but few people take such risks in actual combat, because the tank tracks are relatively fragile, and they may fall off or break because of long marches...... That means it's likely to be out of the fight.

Then there were crawling sounds and explosions on the left and right flanks, and it was clear that the British had surrounded the Germans in three parts.

Werner smiled bitterly and said: "They're going to drive us out into the sea!" ”

"That's better than dying of thirst in the desert!" Bowen replied.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Why were we driven into the sea? ”

Werner looked at Qin Chuan suspiciously: "Otherwise, where else can we go?" ”

"Cruise!" Qin Chuan said: "We can go to the cruise ship to defend!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but be stunned.

"Well done, Flick!" Bazel was the first to react, he praised Qin Chuan, and then immediately issued a series of orders:

"Cancel the order to blow up the warehouse, change to blow up the entrance!"

This order was given to the baker, who had previously thought that there was no hope of holding on to the warehouse, so he wanted to blow up the warehouse, but now there is hope...... Of course, choose to blow up the entrance, after all, if there is hope of survival, who will give up easily?

"Keep laying mines!"

This order was to hold back enemy tanks and buy time for the transfer of troops.

"Bring the crew to the ship!"

The crews of the cruise ship were all being held in a civilian house near the warehouse, which came in handy now.

"All personnel evacuated to the cruise ship and prepared for battle!"

The soldiers, of course, knew what this order meant, and it was not only "withdraw", but also "combat readiness".

That means the soldiers have to carry enough ammunition onto the ship.

At this time, Qin Chuan regretted it a little...... With so much free time while guarding the warehouse, why don't you know how to carry ammunition to a cruise ship?

But then again, it was not even known that the enemy would attack the port.

But this did not seem to be a problem, because the Germans had already prepared ammunition, and several cars full of ammunition were parked outside the warehouse early in the morning to be supplied, and the soldiers drove the cars to the cruise ship, and then one by one they carried the ammunition back and forth on the cruise ship like Superman...... This may be the potential that erupts before the threat of death, and the soldiers know very well that it is these munitions that will survive on it.

While the ammunition was being moved, the entrances to the warehouses were blown up one by one, and the crew was caught onto the cruise ship and quickly took place.

The ammunition was still being moved, and no one knew how much it would have to be enough, so the soldiers had to move as many boxes as they could, and then another......

Until a "Valentine" tank rumbled to appear at the other end of the pier, and then a "boom" blew up a car...... Luckily, it was a car with empty ammunition, otherwise it would have been so destructive that it would have caused a chain explosion.

But even then, the car was completely overturned by the impact of the shells, and flames erupted on all fours.

The baker who walked at the end quickly loosened the cable and jumped onto the cruise ship, and Bazel shouted: "Open the boat!" ”

With a long whistle, the cruise ship slowly moved.

Major William, the captain of the British commando team, who came from behind the tank, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene: "Hell! Cruise? ”

"Let them escape!" The vice-captain interjected stupidly: "These cowards! ”

But the situation soon surprised the deputy captain, and a large number of bullets suddenly poured out on the cruise ship, causing Major William and others to hurriedly hide behind the tank.

"Fire!" Major Wilhelm shouted at the tank: "Sink it!" ”

Several tanks adjusted their muzzles and fired at the cruise ship.

But this obviously did not help, because the elevation angle of the tank was limited, and the muzzle raised to the top could only be aimed at the middle of the cruise ship's hull, and could not pose a threat to the Germans hiding in the upper part.

On the other hand, the hull of the cruise ship is huge, and the shells hitting above the waterline will hardly affect the cruise ship...... Therefore, if you want to realize the order of "sink it" as stated by Major William, I am afraid that it is a fool's dream.

At this time, there was a cannon fire on the cruise ship...... The Germans returned fire, and they loaded the mortar onto the ship and set it up on the top floor, which was undoubtedly an excellent mortar position.

The shell whistled and smashed into the British soldiers behind the tank, causing the British to scream immediately.
