Chapter 70: Victory

Finally, the flare went out.

The British officer slammed the steering wheel at the moment when the flare went out, intending to leave the battlefield...... He knows that the human eye has "light adaptation" and "dark adaptation".

That is, it takes a while to get used to going from a dark place to a bright place, and similarly, it takes a while to get used to going from a light place to a dark place...... In the few seconds of adaptation, almost nothing can be seen.

And Qin Chuan only had a few seconds to kill the officer, otherwise the target might escape into the darkness and never be found again.

One second, two seconds......

Then with a "bang", Qin Chuan pulled the trigger.

Qin Chuan actually didn't see the target, but he saw the white smoke spewing from the exhaust pipe of the armored car...... The temperature in the early hours of the morning was below zero, and the seaside was humid, so the white smoke was noticeable in the starlight.

Qin Chuan used this white smoke as a benchmark to open a fire...... It was a Beaverette light armored reconnaissance vehicle, Qin Chuan was very familiar with it, and knew that its exhaust pipe was in the lower right, and about ten centimeters to the side was the right rear wheel.

The bullet struck the right rear wheel, and a muffled sound similar to that of a mortar fired from a cannonball could be heard in the darkness, followed by a violent crash. It was clear that a sudden burst of the right tyre when the British officer slammed the steering wheel to the right would inevitably cause the car to roll on its side and roll several times.

Sure enough, when the flare lit up again, Qin Chuan saw an armored car overturned at one end, landing on one side and spinning on two wheels on the other. Looking at the vicinity, the British officer was thrown more than ten meters away and lying on his back to the sky, spurting blood from his mouth and trying to get up.

"Remember to put on your seatbelt next time, scum!" As he spoke, Qin Chuan pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit the center of the target's eyebrows, and a stream of steaming blood rushed out from the other end of the head, and then the British officer's head fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and it shook under the effect of inertia and stopped moving.

The tank continued to drive on.

The tank crew inside seemed to be aware of what was happening outside, but they did not dare to open the hatch to inspect it for fear that they would close their eyes forever, and they did not dare to stop the tank because they were not sure if there was an enemy chasing after them with anti-tank grenades...... So they just let the tank move on, not knowing what to do next.

In fact, they were completely free to move, because the cruise ship had returned to the main battlefield again, that is, in front of Major William.

At this moment, Major William's heart was broken, because he knew that his two squads had been completely annihilated.

"Thoroughly" may be an exaggeration, because Major William heard the "rumble" of tanks in both directions, but he thought that the only thing left was probably tanks...... It's just that these tanks are useless in this situation.

Major William looked around, his own part was not much better, there were only about eighty of the 150-strong troops left, and all of them were wounded.

More importantly, Major William could only see fear in their eyes, and Major William was a little conscious...... They have lost this battle.

"Major!" At this time, the signal soldier handed the walkie-talkie to Major William: "It's Major General Evans!" ”

"Major!" Maj. Gen. Evans asked over the walkie-talkie, "How's the plan going?" Did the port take it? ”

"No, General!" Major William replied bitterly.

"Hurry up!" Major General Evans said with a reproachful tone: "It can't be delayed any longer, it will soon be dark, and we must fight quickly, otherwise the warehouse will be in danger of being blown up by them......"

"General!" Major William interrupted Major General Evans and said, "We have failed! ”

"What? Fail? Maj. Gen. Evans could barely believe his ears.

"Yes, we failed!" Major William replied weakly: "We only have eighty-five left, including me...... My troops were scattered by them! ”

"It can't be!" Maj. Gen. Evans said: "We are attacking their frontal line with all our might, and it is impossible for them to send reinforcements......

"They don't have reinforcements!"

"Tell me, then, how a German infantry company defeated you? Major! You have absolute superiority in strength and equipment, and all of us expect it! ”

"I know!" Major William replied, "But they have a cruise ship!" ”

"Cruises?"

"Yes!" "They are defending on the cruise ship, and on the sea, we have nothing to do with them, and we can only bear their bullets and shells like targets on the shore, and most of my men are dead, Major General!" Do you think we're willing to do that? ”

As soon as he said this, Major William hung up the phone and scolded fiercely: "These bastards! ”

"Major!" One soldier asked: "What should we do now?" ”

"We should call all those tanks back!" Major William said: "Then build a defensive line......"

Before he could finish speaking, a bullet struck Major William in the head with a "horn", and Major William was stunned like an electric shock, and then fell straight to the ground.

Qin Chuan had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he had not found this officer before, because he was dressed the same as other British soldiers, until he hid behind an armored car and made a phone call.

At this time, the person who will talk to his superiors is the supreme commander of this unit.

Of course, Qin Chuan knew his value, and he could be said to be the last bit of cohesion of this force...... Otherwise, the British army should collapse after a third of the casualties.

And now this British unit has at least two-thirds of its casualties, but it can still hold on, which may have something to do with the quality of this force, but more importantly, the commander is still holding on.

Now Qin Chuan has killed their commander.

However, Qin Chuan was not sure, after all, he didn't see his military rank, and the person who called might be a communications soldier or a staff officer, etc.

So Qin Chuan observed the opposite side in the scope and waited for a while.

Then he knew he had guessed correctly, for a white flag had been displayed behind the armored car, and the British were shaking it vigorously to make him see it.

"They surrendered!" Qin Chuan said.

"What?" Werner was picking up a drum from the ammo box, and he had swapped his MP40 for the Englishman's Thomson submachine gun, which he called out when he fought...... The drum can hold 100 rounds, which is almost enough to fight a battle.

"I said they surrendered!" Qin Chuan repeated, paused and shouted: "Ceasefire, ceasefire, they surrendered!" ”

Bazel looked at the direction indicated by Qin Chuan with a telescope, then nodded and said, "Yes, sergeant, they surrendered!" ”

The German soldiers could not help but cheer, they could not believe this fact...... A group of British troops, armed with tanks and armoured vehicles and much more numerous, surrendered to them.
