Chapter 41: Honor

Underneath the tank was the weakest part of the armor, and the cluster grenade was not very explosive but still able to blow it through, so the tank quickly stopped and emitted black smoke. Of course, the German soldier who blew up the tank was also missing.

A German soldier rushed into the tank group with an anti-tank grenade, and he was very agile, sometimes hiding in a crater and sometimes suddenly sprang out like a rabbit on the way.

The British infantry quickly noticed him, and a volley of bullets quickly fired at him to prevent him from looking up.

But the German soldier knew how to deal with the situation, so he calmly pulled the grenade from his belt, set it on fire, threw it out, and then rushed up with the smoke from the grenade's explosion.

However, he was still shot and fell, a bright red drifting out of the smoke and dust, and there was no reaction for a long time.

But just when everyone thought that he had been sacrificed, suddenly an anti-tank grenade flew into the air in a graceful arc, its tail flared out, and it flew like a dandelion towards a tank...... "boom", and the tank immediately turned into a ball of flames.

Several Germans were hiding on the flanks with tank guns...... This is their helplessness, the PAK36 anti-tank cannot penetrate the front of the enemy tank, so they can only hit the idea of the side.

Anti-tank guns were able to do this, as evidenced by the fact that the anti-tank shells immobilized one tank after another.

But it exposed itself as it destroyed its target, and British tanks and infantry soon turned to anti-tank guns as a target for key strikes...... Dense bullets flew towards the anti-tank guns, hitting the shields with a "sonorous" metal impact, and even more terrifying was that several tanks stopped, slowly adjusting the position of the main guns to aim at the anti-tank guns.

At this point, the anti-tank gunners should evacuate their gun positions, because they have done enough, and the rest is beyond their control.

But they didn't do it, they stuck to their posts, they aimed at a tank, they fired, they aimed at a tank, they fired......

Finally, after a few cannon shots, the anti-tank gun flew up to the sound of the gun, and then fell to the ground as a pile of scrap metal, and the gunner lay in a blur of flesh and blood in the nearby sand, unmoving.

Qin Chuan was shocked by the scene in front of him, not only because of the cruelty of the war, but also because of the spirit shown by the German soldiers.

What made these soldiers fight the enemy without fear of sacrifice?

Defend the country?

Of course not, they are now on Libyan soil.

Resist aggression?

Moreover, the Germans were the ones who invaded other countries.

But even so, the German soldiers showed much stronger will and courage than other countries.

Qin Chuan faintly felt that these soldiers were probably not for any benefit, they were just for the duty of a soldier or the glory of a soldier. Just like they couldn't tolerate Berg's betrayal before.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan silently raised the rifle in his hand, and then pulled the trigger......

The battle soon heated up.

The British had a clear advantage in equipment, but the Germans skillfully used the cover of terrain and smoke to get close to the British tanks and blow them up one by one...... Soon the position was littered with the wreckage of British tanks, some of which had been abandoned by the British because their tracks had been blown up, some had been blown up by anti-tank grenades and were burning with black smoke, and some had been blown to pieces because of the detonation, and the turrets and other parts were scattered all over the ground.

If the fighting continued, the outcome would probably be that the Germans would have forced the British back with heavy casualties.

But the situation has taken a new turn......

While the enemy and us were fighting inseparably, a group of British fighters and bombers appeared in the sky.

It is a well-known fact that air power is very important in desert warfare, because the troops have almost nowhere to hide in the desert, and everything on the ground, including tanks, will become a target for air power.

And at this time the Germans had just entered North Africa, and their air force was not even in place...... This is one of the reasons why Hitler strongly opposed Rommel's attack on Egypt.

As a result, the balance of victory quickly tipped in favor of the British, and British fighters and bombers swooped down from the sky with impunity and bombed indiscriminately...... Their targets ranged from German artillery to soldiers.

German artillery emitted a cloud of flames and smoke when firing shells, so it was not difficult to spot it even though it was hiding in the complex.

So the bomber immediately dived down and dropped several aerial bombs.

German soldiers formed a line of defense when they held off the British, and although most of them were mixed with the sand, the British pilots could tell the position of the line by the bright light from the muzzle of their guns.

So the fighters roared over the defensive line, sending out rows of dense rain of bullets.

"Retreat!" At this time, Qin Chuan heard the long-lost order: "Withdraw to the city!" ”

As soon as the order was given, the German army was very conscious of covering each other's retreat in companies and platoons.

At this time, Qin Chuan found Alfredo hiding in it behind a broken wall, he was holding a pistol in his hand, Qin Chuan didn't see clearly whether it was the one with bullets or without bullets, Qin Chuan only knew that Alfredo was already a little nervous with fright. Because when Qin Chuan shouted at him, he reflexively aimed his pistol at Qin Chuan.

"It's time to retreat, Alfredo!" Qin Chuan repeated his words loudly: "Withdraw to the city!" ”

It took a long time for Alfredo to react, and then he cried out in panic, "No, I'm not leaving!" I don't want to go on any longer! ”

"Ignore him, sergeant!" The poisonous snake Kuhn shouted at Qin Chuan from a few meters away: "Just let him stay here, he will harm us!" ”

Qin Chuan ignored Kuhn's order, and as soon as he dragged Alfredo and ran towards the city. Keller followed, dragging Alfredo to the other side without saying a word, while Werner took cover with submachine guns behind the three, fighting and retreating, and finally retreated into the city before the British tanks could drive up.

Running into the city, Qin Chuan slammed Alfredo to the ground, and then leaned against the wall panting...... Alfredo's weight is really choking, which may have something to do with the Italians who like food.

But before Qin Chuan and the others could catch their breath, the British tanks "rumbled" into the city.

Then, only a burst of "boom" was heard, and the tanks aimed at the buildings in the city and bombarded them indiscriminately, only to hit the city with flying sand and rocks, and some tanks even pushed straight towards the buildings...... Then came a dull crumble, as Libyans' modest houses were toppled like toys, and tanks emerged from the collapsed rubble like steel monsters.
