As a soldier, it's really uncomfortable to see your brother being knocked down by enemy bullets and you can't do anything about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Leaning against a makeshift paratrooper pit next to the road, the SS soldiers of the 46th Division saw with their own eyes an anti-tank group attacking and falling under the enemy's heavy fire.

The German soldiers tried to cover their comrades with machine guns and submachine guns, but it became more and more difficult and bloody to sneak up on the enemy's tanks.

After effortlessly taking out three British tanks, it was difficult for the German infantry to continue to find a comfortable angle to shoot at the advancing British tanks.

"The machine guns of the 2nd platoon have been fighting for too long! Let them transfer! Hurry up! Watching the flames of a makeshift machine-gun bunker on his front line continue to spew tongues of fire, a German officer ordered worriedly.

Before his order could be heard, the machine-gun position, which was constantly firing at the British soldiers, was hit by a tank shell.

A huge explosion shook up the surrounding sand, as well as a broken machine gun. Everything was shattered by shells, and it looked miserable.

After all, it was flesh and blood, after all, it was only a makeshift machine-gun position - these things could not withstand the powerful and heavy shells, and they could not withstand the devastation of 75 mm shells.

Although the 75 mm howitzer equipped on the hull of the American-produced M3lee tank is not very useful to fight tanks, it can be used to fight infantry bunkers much more powerfully.

Hit by this cannon, most of the positions temporarily constructed by the German army were directly destroyed. The soldiers inside will not be spared, and even the people around them will be affected.

A German soldier jumped out of the trench and rushed to a British tank not far away with a cluster grenade, before being knocked to the ground by bullets from a distance, blood splattering everywhere.

"Let the anti-tank team look for an opportunity on the right! If this continues, the whole defense line will collapse! The German officer frowned, pointed to the position not far ahead, and commanded.

"Suddenly! Dodo! Just as he was giving the order, another machine-gun position opened fire from the flank, sweeping down several British soldiers who were following the tank.

The opening of fire from this position was very sudden, and at once the rhythm of the British soldiers' attack was disrupted. Everyone lay on the ground, waiting for the tanks to take out the German machine-gun positions in front.

At this moment, another German soldier jumped to his feet, holding a bundle of cluster grenades, and took a step towards the British M3lee tank, which was adjusting its direction.

In the midst of a hail of bullets, he ran with a grenade, step by step, until he reached the side of the British tank before he used his inertia to fall.

Then, he pulled the fuse pull cord behind the grenade's handle and stuffed the bundled cluster grenade into the tumbling track.

The rest of the day he could only pray for escape, and taking a deep breath, the SS soldier began to roll on the ground, trying to get out of the blast as fast as he could.

Unfortunately, the grenade's fuse didn't give him much time, and just a few seconds after he climbed out, a huge explosion suddenly came.

Don't think that the infantry climbing near the tanks to destroy these big steel guys is a means only used by the backward Asian theater of operations.

In fact, the Germans were armed with a variety of magnetic anti-tank grenades, as well as some bizarre anti-tank weapons, most of which were used at a distance of a few meters from enemy tanks......

According to historical data, the current United Nations is a top five...... No, it's the infantry of the five permanent members of the Security Council, and they all have the personal experience of climbing next to the tank to blow up the enemy's tank.

The difference is that the American soldiers were forced to bomb the German super tanks that no one could penetrate, and the German soldiers were forced to bomb too many Soviet tanks that could not be finished......

"Boom!" With a loud bang, black clouds tumbled upward, and the tracks of the British M3lee tank broke and the load wheels rolled out a long way.

The tank was paralyzed there, and then the engine began to smoke - a huge shock would destroy all sorts of internal parts, and the guns on the front of the tank would fall down.

At this moment, it was the turn of the British tank crews to be depressed, and when they recovered from the great shock, they had to think about how they were going to get out of this huge steel coffin.

The M3lee tank had six crew members, one more than the most versatile five-man crew in the German army. Because it was necessary to operate another gun, this extra person did not relieve the pressure of insufficient occupants in the car.

Now, the bigger problem is that even if you run away, you have to run with one more person......

In the midst of the German bullets, the British tank crews lifted the hatch above their heads and began their flight.

Of course, the British soldiers in the vicinity, as well as the tanks that kept strafing, gave these British tank men the greatest cover.

Poking his head out of his hatch, the British commander saw the corpse of a German SS soldier lying not far away.

The soldier could not tell his age, because his face was covered in blood. One of the corpse's legs was missing, but his height was still recognizable from the other.

There was no time to savor it, just a brief glance, and the British commander propped his hands on his body and got out of his own hatch.

He could even feel a bullet flying past him, so he jumped out of the tank and rolled twice to stabilize his figure.

Of course, there were the unlucky ones - the pilot had just poked his head out of his hatch when he was hit in the head by a flying bullet, and then he fell back into the wreckage of the tank.

The enemy on the opposite side often knows them best, and the British soldiers felt the mountain-like pressure brought to them by the German army on the opposite side from the beginning of the attack.

Although the enemy was slowly retreating under the pressure of the tanks, although the enemy's defensive line was hastily constructed to stop the British attack.

However, the kind of tenacious combat effectiveness shown by the other side is obviously not the soldiers of British client states such as India, which is understandable.

"Hello? Feed? General Montgomery? Commander...... We've done our best, but the enemy's line is still there! They are still holding on near the road. Holding the phone, the commander of the British 7th Panzer Division complained to Montgomery.

He had already tried to attack from the flank, to make a detour to a further place - but these efforts had failed, and the German line remained strong.

There were hundreds of corpses of German soldiers lying on the battlefield, but these German soldiers still had no intention of retreating.

The enemy still held on to his defensive line, and one by one destroyed the British army's precious tanks.

"In any case, your troops must break through the German lines as soon as possible...... If the time is postponed any longer, it will be possible for the German tanks to cross the river! Montgomery ordered on the other end of the phone, tangled in his mouth.

Originally, he thought that the Germans were crossing the river only with some infantry who did not have much combat effectiveness at all, and as long as they were willing to invest tanks, the opponent's attack would soon be thwarted.

But now it seems that the combat effectiveness of the German infantry should not be underestimated, and it can resist the attack of the British 7th Panzer Division.

Just enough for a makeshift defensive line to hold off the British tank forces for an hour, Rommel's armored forces were enough to cross the river and participate in the battle.

Neither Auchinleck nor Montgomery expected that their troops would be held back by an infantry force along the road.

"It's a lot of delay, the 7th Panzer Division must be withdrawn, we don't need to fight for a defensive line!" Auchinleck reminded not far behind Montgomery.

And the voice of his reminder was also clearly heard by the commander of the 7th Armored Division on the other side of the phone. Before the commander of the 7th Panzer Division could breathe a sigh of relief, Montgomery's voice came.

I only heard him open his mouth and command: "Insist on continuing the attack!" If you can't break through the enemy's lines within a quarter of an hour, you retreat! ”

At this point, Montgomery set his sights on the map, the area marked with the number of the German troops.

"46th SS Infantry Division...... What a fierce force......" Before he knew it, Montgomery muttered quietly.

Although the voice was not too loud, Auchinleck could still hear Montgomery's envy. The majority of the troops in the hands were Indians, and to be honest, it was not much better than having Italians in the hands.

In 1940, the SS units were not yet known to the world for their outstanding achievements. To know when the Wehrmacht swept through France, Adolf? The Hitler Guard Flag Division was only a regimental and brigade-sized unit.

So, it can be said that in North Africa, the 46th SS Division, with blood, was the first to attract the attention of the enemy. It was precisely because of the battle of the Eastern Road that the SS began to really prove its worth in the war.

It is a pity that the process by which an army proves its worth is to let its soldiers shed blood and sacrifice.

One SS soldier after another lay in pools of blood, and with their own flesh and blood they built a wall of steel.

Behind the fallen soldiers, more soldiers shot wildly with their weapons. Blood stains the sand redden, and it also stimulates the bloodthirsty instinct of man. At this point in the battle, neither side seemed willing to give up easily.

Eventually, it was the SS units that began to retreat on their own initiative because of heavy casualties. The British tanks crossed the German lines, which were strewn with corpses, and finally began to plan to continue the attack near the river beach.

At the feet of the British soldiers, just near the road positions abandoned by the Germans, lay the bodies of more than 400 German soldiers......
