Chapter 499: Inside the Bunker

"Well done! Guys, do it! Grant cheered.

Using this large bunker, Grant and the others did not let the British advance a step in half an hour.

The British were also very annoyed by this, and soon the commander of the tank unit in charge of the main attack reported the news to Admiral Wavell.

Wavell then made the decision to send more men and vowed to take the bunker, otherwise his southern offensive would not be able to go further.

Immediately afterwards, not only on the right, but also on the left side of the pillbox, a group of British tank units and Australian infantry following behind the tanks appeared.

This time the situation was even worse, the French army was already short and lacked heavy weapons such as anti-tank guns. Of course, even if there were more anti-tank guns this time, it would still be difficult to stop the large-scale offensive of the British army.

Grant's bloodless face turned white, looking at the dense British tanks and soldiers, and couldn't help but scold: "Hell! Dumping out or what's wrong? Did the British transfer all the tanks to us? ”

"Bang dang!" The heavy iron door of the large bunker made a loud muffled noise as if it had been hit by something.

"What's going on? Check it out! Grant didn't have time to think about it, and he quickly led someone to block the door with the tables and chairs in the bunker.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the French deliberately thickened this iron gate when the bunker was built, I am afraid that this iron gate would have been pierced by the British artillery shells, and it would not have been able to prevent the impact of the British at all.

While moving the table, Grant accidentally cut the skin of his hand due to excessive force and nervousness, and blood gushed out of his palm.

"Damn it!" Grant couldn't help but curse himself for being careless, and Grant tore open the thin clothes inside himself with one hand, picked up the rag strip and wrapped it around his palm to prevent the blood from continuing to seep into his palm.

"The loud bang just now was that the British shells hit the door, but our iron gate was too thick, and their shells failed to penetrate our iron gate, but only made a loud noise." Sils said to Grant after looking at it.

"It's a good thing we didn't break down, otherwise we would have become meat sauce long ago." Grant said as he wrapped his hand.

The narrow passage of the entire bunker was only ten meters long, and Edward was running from the back of the passage to the bunker chamber on the right.

There are iron doors every three meters in the corridor, and machine gun firing ports are opened on the edge of the walls, and the original designers also set up counterattack points in consideration of the sneak attack on the pillbox.

And Grant and they used this design point one by one to deal with the British.

Every time Edward ran through a doorrail, he immediately closed the thick iron door, and there was a violent knock on the top of the bunker, and it seemed that the British soldiers had come to the door of the bunker. In a panic, Edward closed the iron door tightly, and immediately grabbed a shovel on one side and locked the iron door to prevent British tank shells or soldiers from smashing the door open.

"Edward! Hurry, hurry! Come here! With an excited face, Sils beckoned Edward to run.

The reason why he was so excited was entirely because there was relatively plenty of ammunition left in the bunker, and as for the food, he didn't see too much, but he found a bottle of wine that drank most of it.

"Now, we've got something to deal with the British tanks." Grant smiled and brought someone a German-made 88mm anti-aircraft gun: "This is a sharp weapon for fighting tanks." ”

After the annexation of France, Reinhardt discussed the security of Algeria with the PΓ©tain government, and it was at that time that Reinhardt decided to support the Algerian French army with some weapons and equipment, including 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

And the 88-mm anti-aircraft gun did not beat the B1 heavy tanks of the French on the French battlefield, so that many French soldiers knew this anti-aircraft gun that could hit tanks.

Edward had already rushed into the five-meter-wide bunker chamber, and together with Grant, he pushed out the anti-aircraft gun and leaned against the firing port on the left, which was not large enough to accommodate an 88-millimeter anti-aircraft gun.

Next, Grant and the others fired at the British tanks outside.

"Boom!" Not too far away, a British tank instantly lost its combat effectiveness after being hit.

After a while, two more tanks were destroyed in succession.

The British panicked instantly.

"Didn't the intelligence say they had run out of ammunition? Where did the anti-tank guns come from? The commander of the British tank forces muttered to himself.

Obviously, the 88 anti-aircraft guns in this pillbox gave the French army a good momentum.

But the good times didn't last long, and after a while, Grant's twenty special shells in their hands were gone.

And these twenty shells actually destroyed 9 tanks of the British army!

.......

Sils was also leading two men to reinforce the closed bunker gate with various things, and hurriedly found heavy boxes to block the iron door.

However, the unexpected happened.

"Whoa!" The gate fell to the ground in response, and the British army directly used Mathilde's tank to blast the gate open at close range.

.......

Inside the bunker, Grant gasped and leaned against the wall.

At this time, Smith and Edward also walked over. They each held two grenades in each hand and said, "Sir Grant, it looks like we have to die with the British today." Here are two grenades left for you, of course we have them. I think General Belant will be proud of us! We will be the best warriors in France! ”

Grant watched with a black look as Edward shoved two grenades into his waist, as if he was reciting the award line, and it was a bit underwhelming.

At this point, Grant really wanted to kick Edward away.

But when he saw the surroundings outside the window of the bunker room, Grant stopped.

Outside, the British had dismantled the anti-tank cones barbed wire and other obstacles around the fort, and the British tanks were moving behind the pillboxes, and the British Army was also surrounding them, about to enter the fort where they were stationed.

Although Grant's soldiers still did not give up, they used their rifles to attack the approaching British soldiers.

But there are too many British, and with their little force, it is almost impossible to hold this iron gate.

Grant was desperate, he finally understood the meaning of Edward's doing.

It was impossible for them to hold on to this fortress, and the only thing they could do when the British came up was to die together.

By this time, the French soldiers in the fort had almost all run out of bullets.

Grant simply told Edward to stop shooting and gathered them around Grant.

Grant said firmly: "The British are coming up, we have no way to escape, and now we are faced with two choices. The first is to surrender, and the other is to pull the grenade and die with them. Which one do you choose? I'm definitely not reluctant. ”

"Perish with them!" The soldiers uttered this sentence almost simultaneously.

At this time, a kind of heroism mixed with anger and unwillingness was also the last resistance that this group of poor French soldiers could make against the treacherous British army.

"Well done, brethren, you are all good!" Grant said this almost in tears.
