The PIAT Infantry Anti-Tank Projectile is called the "English Crossbow" because it needs to pull the main spring to put it on standby every time it is fired...... The tension of the main spring is very high, up to 900 Newtons.

To accomplish this, you must use both hands and feet:

The first is a standing position, where you stand with your feet on the shoulder rest at the bottom and lift the handle up with both hands together.

The second is the lying position, where the hands hold the grip and the feet step on the shoulder rest and push down.

Either way, it was very similar to the ancient crossbow with strong pulling force, hence the nickname "English crossbow".

Needless to say, the disadvantage is that the firing process is very troublesome, and the force of 900 ox requires considerable physical strength, if the soldiers are tired after a hard battle or hungry because of lack of supplies, I am afraid that they will not be able to pull this "bow and crossbow" at all.

In fact, it is not only waiting to be shot, but also pulling the trigger is very laborious...... It designed the huge trigger so that one could pull it with two fingers, but even that wasn't easy.

Its greatest advantage was that it removed the British from the days when they could blow up enemy tanks at close range with anti-tank grenades or explosive packs.

But soon Qin Chuan and the others knew that this "English bow crossbow" had other advantages......

The tanks drove into Alexandria in the gray and hazy sky, and Qin Chuan found that this was not a good time to attack, because the buildings and land inside were almost the same as the sky, and everywhere was gray.

There was silence all around, and the people probably had already heard the news of the imminent attack of the German army, so they all hid in their houses and did not come out to move.

But Qin Chuan knew that it was not necessarily the people who were hiding in the room.

The tanks "rumbled" forward, and the tracks "creaked" through the stone-paved streets, and from time to time there was some sound of metal knocking. When turning, the rotation of the tracks combined with the weight of the tank grinds holes into the ground, and the high-pitched, piercing sound can be heard only from miles away.

The fighters nervously followed the tank, aiming their rifles and machine guns at the buildings on either side.

Anywhere there is an opening in a window or doorway, especially upstairs, a bullet can be fired or a grenade thrown suddenly.

But the Germans couldn't stop it, Alexandria was too big for the 21st Panzer Division to drive out everyone in the houses as it had done before, or to search and occupy every room.

At the same time, the Germans did not have time to do this, because by this time it was already slightly bright, and the British reconnaissance planes were already circling in the air...... If the Germans had remained outside the city, they would have been bombed by the British.

Of course, the British did not bomb because they were worried about the Egyptian people or their houses...... When the British and American troops fought back to France, they did not consider the safety of the French people, who were also whites, and certainly did not care about the lives and property of the colonial Egyptians.

The reason why they did not bomb was because the Germans could easily hide before the bombing came, which would make the bombing ineffective, and more importantly, the troops of the New Zealand Division were also in the city, and the bombing would inevitably lead to accidental injuries.

The tank turned a corner along the street again, and Qin Chuan caught a glimpse of an open window in the gap when the tank turned sideways, so he immediately shouted: "Stop, danger!" ”

BUT IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE, ONLY A SOUND WAS HEARD, AND THERE WAS A "BOOM" IN FRONT OF THE TANK, AND THEN IT DID NOT MOVE...... PROJECTILE FIRED BY THE "ENGLISH BOW CROSSBOW" USED HOLLOW CHARGE TECHNOLOGY, AND THE HIGH-SPEED METAL JET FORMED BY IT COULD PENETRATE 75MM THICK ARMOR, WHILE THE ARMOR OF "NUMBER THREE" WAS ONLY 47MM.

Since the metal jet is liquid, it will scatter and splash inside the tank bay after it penetrates the armor, so most of the tank crew members inside cannot avoid being hit...... If you are hit by the vital point and die on the spot, you are lucky, otherwise you will feel the pain of the hot jet passing through the body and roasting and scorching the surrounding musculature.

Gunfire soon rang out, and German soldiers leaned out from behind the wreckage of the tank and fired at the front.

Qin Chuan didn't do this, he pointed his rifle at both sides of the street...... The most dangerous thing at this time is obviously not the front, but the sides, in which there is at least the wreckage of tanks as cover, and there is nothing on either side.

Sure enough, the windows on both sides of the street suddenly opened with a "bang" in the next second...... Without thinking about it, Qin Chuan aimed at one of them and pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", a bloody light rushed out of the darkness of the window, and the bullet clearly hit the target.

Then Qin Chuan pulled the bolt of the gun as fast as he could, loaded it, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at another window again...... A muzzle was sticking out of another window, and it was a Thomson submachine gun.

In this case, the submachine gun with a terrifying capacity of 100 rounds is obviously more lethal than the machine gun, and if it is allowed to fire, I am afraid that the infantry platoon where Qin Chuan is located will become a pile of corpses in an instant.

Of course, Qin Chuan didn't let it get his wish, the submachine gun fell from the window after a gunshot rang out, and then, a New Zealand soldier holding his neck slowly appeared at the window, his body slowly lost his strength and hung upside down on the window edge, red blood flowing down the white wall.

At this time, the German soldiers suddenly realized something, so they turned their guns and aimed at the sides.

This also completely bankrupted the ambush of the New Zealand Army, because there were not many windows and gates...... This is one of the reasons why New Zealand soldiers are not able to deploy a large number of people.

When prepared, it was easy for German soldiers to block these windows with fire...... Except for grenades.

The New Zealand soldiers seemed to be aware of this, and several grenades were dropped.

Werner waited for this moment, and he grabbed the submachine gun as before, "bulging" it twice, and skillfully flew the two grenades to the other side of the tank......

It's Werner's hobby, and many people find it strange because it's a grenade that can kill you if you're not careful.

But Werner's answer was: "If you think of it as baseball, then it's baseball!" ”

It's true, Werner is a professional baseball player, grenades are thrown much slower than baseball pitchers, and the likelihood of Werner making a mistake is actually very small, so just relax and ...... It's actually a baseball thrown by a bad pitcher.

However, there was only one Werner in the army, and there was a grenade that was too far away to catch up.

The grenade fell in the crowd, and more than a dozen people were within its killing range.

At this critical moment, a German soldier pounced on the grenade and pressed it with his body......
