The tanks "rumbled" in front, and the infantry covered and followed in the rear, and in the blink of an eye they were in front of the British.

At this time, it was time for the British to fight in close combat with German tanks.

In fact, the British army also invented many close-quarters anti-tank equipment, such as sticky anti-tank grenades and Molotov cocktails.

But on the one hand, these anti-tank grenades themselves have great safety hazards in the process of transportation and storage, such as the incendiary bottle is a glass bottle containing a mixture of yellow phosphorus and oil, which only needs to be thrown at the target when used, and the yellow phosphorus spontaneously combusts when the air is broken after the bottle is broken, which can ignite a fire on the tank and overheat the engine.

The problem is that these fragile and fragile bottles inevitably collide during transportation, and they also need to be stored together with other munitions, which can cause a major accident if one or two are broken.

So British soldiers don't usually bring this thing to the battlefield, it's no different from suicide.

The sticky anti-tank grenade doesn't have these problems, it's like an upside-down flask, with a spherical sticky substance on the top half that can stick to the tank after being thrown, and explode after a five-second delay. IT IS ALSO QUITE GOOD ARMOR PIERCING, CAN PENETRATE 60MM THICK ARMOR, AND CAN ALSO DAMAGE ENEMY INFANTRY WITH A SHOCK WAVE.

The problem is that this thing weighs 2 pounds, and the average British soldier can barely throw it 20 meters away, and this is even within its own killing range.

To make matters worse, this sticky grenade also requires that the target must not have dust, otherwise the bomb will not be able to stick to the tank and blow it through...... This is a joke for a tank fighting in the desert, because any tank has a thick layer of dust on its armor.

The British soldiers even laughed at this: "Oh, great! Why didn't they say in the instructions that the enemy tank had to be washed before throwing this grenade? ”

From this, we can also see some shortcomings in the research and development of equipment of the British army, and this defect is not individual, but universal, just like the "infantry tank" and "cruiser tank" that they have developed are not suitable for battlefield coordination.

The reason for this is actually quite simple...... The British have been sitting in the number one position in the world for too long, and no one in the world can compete with it, so the research and development of equipment is naturally not targeted, and many of them are those self-righteous experts who pat their heads and think how and then mass production, but as soon as the battle starts, they find that these equipment are useless or not used as imagined.

On the other hand, it was the British who thought that the battle would not be lost to the enemy tanks...... You must know that 50 "Matilda" against the Germans 15 "Three", that is a proper absolute advantage in tank warfare, so close anti-tank grenades or something are redundant, and tanks will solve these problems.

Unexpectedly, the Germans gave them a big surprise...... the "Matilda" tanks were all stuck in the sand, unable to move and unable to fight.

At this time, it was too late for the British army to regret it, and all they had in their hands were rifles, machine guns and the like, and there was no way to take the enemy's tanks.

So the German tanks rushed into the British line very smoothly, and the sound of machine guns and artillery soon rang out.

Unlike the "Crusader" tank, the "No. 3" tank had a course machine gun in addition to a side-by-side machine gun alongside the main gun, and while the main gun was aimed at important targets such as British anti-tank guns and mortars, the course machine guns fired at the British infantry indiscriminately.

AT THIS TIME THE GERMAN 50MM MORTARS ALSO PLAYED A ROLE...... The trajectory of this thing is curved, and the shells can pass over their own tanks and hit the enemy, the only downside is that the gunners can't see the target.

But it doesn't really matter if you can't see the target, because there must be an enemy on the other side, a dense enemy, as long as you follow the tank and keep firing shells forward.

So a massacre began, the British army fell in pieces in the German machine guns and shells, although Qin Chuan, who followed behind the tank, could not see the most tragic scene in front of him, but he could see the British soldiers who were knocked down by bullets and shells on the flanks from the gaps between the tanks, and heard a burst of screams and cries for help from the front, what made Qin Chuan a little unacceptable was that he was stepping on the meat that was crushed by the tank tracks, so the military boots turned red and stained with a thick layer of minced meat after a while, It's like walking into the mountains and sticking yellow mud, and it's heavy to walk on.

Soon the British army collapsed and began to flee, they could not defend.

But it is not so easy for the British army to escape under the hands of the Germans, the German "No. 3" tanks are not the "Matilda" with a speed of only a dozen kilometers per hour, they are the "No. 3" with a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, they chase the British infantry all the way to shoot and kill the fleeing British soldiers, riding on three wheels, and the German soldiers in armored vehicles are also very conscious to catch up with the tanks...... So in the desert, all you saw was the steel monsters of the German army chasing the British army like a flock of sheep, knocking them to the ground in pieces as they chased.

Soon, the British soldiers found that they could not escape at all, because several tanks on each flank had already copied in front of them to form an encirclement, so the British soldiers had to raise their hands and surrender.

In this battle, the Germans captured more than 2,000 British soldiers, 30 cars loaded with supplies, 50 artillery pieces of various types, and 36 "Matilda" tanks.

The "thirty-six" here refers to the intact and serviceable tanks...... Lieutenant Colonel Bolton ordered the tankmen to blow up the tanks at the last moment and surrender, but the fact was that the tankmen did not have this opportunity, and the tankmen themselves could not blow up the tanks in the tanks, and once they got out of the tanks, unless they raised their hands, they would have been killed by a group of German soldiers guarding outside.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, Qin Chuan sat on the ground. He looked almost numb at the corpses and fragments of limbs around him, and many wounded British soldiers were wailing in the pile of dead...... Wounded, they no longer care whether they are surrounded by their own people or enemies, they just want someone to save them or give them a good time.

The Germans would obviously choose the latter, and a couple of soldiers stepped forward to draw their pistols, and with a few "bangs", everything was over.

"You've done it again!" Bazel sat down beside Qin Chuan: "Although they didn't say it, I know it's your idea again, right?" ”

As he spoke, Bazel raised his head at Matilda, who was stuck in the sand and couldn't move.

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan replied.

Qin Chuan was not proud of this, because he felt that the deaths of these British soldiers in front of him were all caused by himself.

Bazel seemed to see through Qin Chuan's thoughts, he patted Qin Chuan's shoulder and stood up, and said, "This has nothing to do with you, sergeant!" As long as there is war, this will inevitably be the result. The difference is just that it is they or us who die! ”

Qin Chuan nodded.

Bazel was right, even if Qin Chuan didn't make any suggestions, these would still happen.

Qin Chuan can't change anything, what he can change is only his own survival in this troubled world.
