Chapter 11 Trust

Agdabia is an important town in central Libya.

To the north of it is the famous port of Brega, Libya...... As you can see from the map, the coastline of Libya is shaped into a U-shaped bay as if it has been pulled down by the port of Brega, and the port of Brega is at the bottom of the "U" shaped bay.

To the south of it, there is a borderless and very harsh desert hinterland, where there is no human population and no water source for hundreds of miles, not to mention the troops, even the locals who are familiar with the terrain and are accustomed to the desert climate are difficult to get out alive.

As a result, Agdabia has become the gateway to western Libya and even to the Libyan capital Tripoli, and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

This is also the reason why the British arranged for two regiments here, apparently to occupy this strategic point to hold back the pursuit of the German and Italian troops.

But this idea of the British army is just wishful thinking...... It was not the Italian army that came to the city, but the German army, chasing down the German army at the height of the British morale all the way.

"Forward!"

At the sound of the command, groups of German soldiers lying behind the sand dunes stood up, their guns pointing downward, slightly bent into the waist, step by step in a straggler formation, cautiously approaching the city of Agdabia.

Qin Chuan was one of them, with German soldiers everywhere in front of him and behind him, their boots "clattering" against the sand under their feet, like the wind blowing through a rice field...... This can embolden Qin Chuan, because it can tell him that the German army has sufficient troops.

However, in front of the earthen buildings in Agdabia City, Qin Chuan still felt that he was completely exposed to the enemy's firepower, and maybe there was a black hole in the corner of the wall aimed at him...... As soon as he thought of this, Qin Chuan's scalp felt a tingle.

"Whew!" A bomb whistled sharply through the sky, from far and near, and then slammed into the nearby sand and exploded.

The formation of the German army was not chaotic, but the pace involuntarily increased. At the same time, the tank also rushed to the front over the infantry, and the "creaking" sound from the tracks added a little tension to Qin Chuan.

After a while, there was more and more artillery fire, some British troops and German artillery returned fire, and you came and went in the air. The German advance also became faster and faster, and soon turned into a trot.

There was nothing to do all the way, there were no enemies and no tanks, the British army seemed to have disappeared, if it weren't for the sound of artillery in the air, Qin Chuan would have thought that the British army had abandoned this town.

Getting closer, getting closer...... Qin Chuan was so nervous that he could hear his own breathing.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan saw the muzzles of several black holes sticking out of the small holes in the building, so he hurriedly shouted: "Get down!" ”

The comrades who heard the warning nearby fell down one after another, but the German soldiers who were a little farther away were charging forward at the speed of a 100-meter sprint......

Dense gunfire soon rang out, and the German soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground like stakes.

During this interval, Qin Chuan noticed that a few comrades-in-arms glanced back at him, obviously, they realized that if it wasn't for Qin Chuan's reminder just now, they would be afraid that they would be the same as those soldiers who fell in a pool of blood at this time.

Qin Chuan didn't have time to pay attention to this, because he knew that the "muzzle" of the British army was above his head, and after the British army had solved those more conspicuous targets, he would soon focus on the people lying on the ground.

So Qin Chuan didn't say a word, raised his rifle and aimed at the opposite side.

"Bang!" With a bang, a bullet shot into the hole in the wall.

The reason why this wall hole became Qin Chuan's first target was because it was larger than the other wall holes.

A bigger hole in the wall means better aiming and easier to hit the shooter behind you.

What's more...... The British shooters were not fools, they would not dig holes in the wall for no reason, they knew that this would bring more danger to themselves.

So, there was only one reason for this: it was a machine gun, and the machine gun needed more space to set up a tripod and aim and fire.

Sure enough, the enemy's firepower immediately weakened after this bullet was fired.

"Bang!" Another bullet came out of the chamber.

Before the bullet was fired, Qin Chuan turned over, because he found that it was very difficult for him to lie on the ground and keep his head held high, so he rolled and put his rifle on the corpse of a German soldier.

Before this, Qin Chuan would never think of using the corpses of his comrades as cover and foreshadowing, because he thought that this was disrespectful to the sacrifice of his comrades, and he couldn't do it.

However, at this moment, Qin Chuan had no choice at all, because he sensitively sensed that the muzzle of the gun was aimed at him...... As mentioned before, the "Enfield" rifle has a much faster rate of fire than the K98K, once it is aimed by the enemy, and it is still at such a close distance, then Qin Chuan can only use everything that can be used to hide himself as quickly as possible to eliminate the other party. Otherwise, he himself would have turned into a cold corpse.

This time, Qin Chuan succeeded again, because he saw that the rifle was hanging down from the hole in the wall and hanging weakly on the wall, obviously its owner had lost the ability to control it.

"Bang!" , Qin Chuan pulled the trigger again.

This time, Qin Chuan knocked down a British soldier who pulled a grenade on fire.

The reason why Qin Chuan knew this was because he noticed that the rifle in the hole in the wall was withdrawn...... You don't have to draw your rifle back to change magazines, and enemies hiding behind holes in the wall don't have to change places with a single shot.

There was only one reason for this, and that was that he was going to drop a grenade through a hole in the wall.

Qin Chuan seized this opportunity, he aimed at the hole in the wall and waited for two seconds, doing so to give the target time to pull and ignite the grenade.

Then Qin Chuan pulled the trigger......

Qin Chuan was sure that he had hit the target, otherwise a grenade emitting green smoke would have been thrown out of the hole in the wall.

After waiting for a few more seconds, I only heard a loud "boom...... It wasn't just the grenade that exploded, it was the grenade that caused the detonation of the ammunition.

Tongues of fire were spewing from almost every crack and hole in the building, the flimsy roof collapsed, and several British soldiers were thrown out of the windows and fell to the ground.

"Oh!" Looking at the still burning building, the big bear with the machine gun couldn't help but exclaim, "Well done, Flick, you saved our lives!" ”

Those comrades-in-arms who had doubted whether Qin Chuan could take on the heavy responsibility turned back to Qin Chuan in shock, including Paul. There was guilt, happiness, and surprise in their eyes, as well as admiration for Qin Chuan.

"Keep going!" The baker ordered: "Don't forget that this is the battlefield, there are many enemies waiting for us ahead!" ”

"Yes, Sergeant!" The soldiers answered, and one by one they grabbed their guns and got up from the ground and followed.

Qin Chuan found that their movements were crisper, sharper, and firmer.

What's more, they seem to have formed a whole, as if they were connected to each other...... It's an inexplicable feeling, but it's real.

Perhaps, this is trust, trust between comrades-in-arms!
