Bazel said he would do it, and immediately commanded the troops to carry out the operation.

In Bazel, the assignment was based on platoons, each platoon was responsible for three blocks, and Bazel took the company to take charge of one, so that the ten streets in front of the British attack were allotted.

When it came to each platoon, the platoon commander further detailed the tasks, that is, assigned the tasks to the squad as a unit.

In fact, at this time, the tasks were not entirely distributed in squads, mainly because the troop attrition was too large, such as Berg's 2 squads...... Berg killed six of his men and was executed himself, plus two more who did not make it out of the desert, and in the end only one soldier remained.

The soldier was blown away by the sandstorm and did not follow the company to chase Bushra, which allowed him to survive the blessing of misfortune.

There was only one soldier in a squad, and it was obvious that he could not complete the task on his own, so Kuhn assigned him to three squads...... THE GERMAN ARMY SHOULD HAVE FOUR INFANTRY SQUADS PLUS A 50MM MORTAR SQUAD (3 PEOPLE) IN NORMAL FORMATION, PLUS A PLATOON HEADQUARTERS (5 PEOPLE), AND A FULL PLATOON WOULD HAVE 48 MEN.

However, in actual battles, because of the attrition and lack of time to replenish, there are often not so many people, and the most common way is to temporarily leave the establishment empty, and the soldiers are transferred to other squads to form a full squad, so that it is easier to command and coordinate.

The attrition of Qin Chuan's company is very serious, and a platoon often has only two squads or even one squad left, and the time for the task is urgent, which makes Bazel have to transfer the company's logistics personnel, such as the cooking squad, to make up the number.

"Sergeant!" Several soldiers with rifles on their backs walked up to Qin Chuan, who was busy carrying gasoline barrels, and said, "Captain asked us to report to you, what should we do?" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but glance at Bazel...... This was not Qin Chuan's business, these soldiers should have reported to Kuhnna.

Bazel just turned his head, and when he saw Qin Chuan, who had a puzzled look, he replied: "Kuhn is not here, you assign them a task to put them in charge of a street!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan replied, then pointed to a street next to him and said, "Do you see that street?" All you have to do is walk along the street in the direction of the enemy, do not come into contact with the enemy, always keep a distance of several hundred meters from the enemy, our cars will transport the gasoline barrels to the appropriate location, all you have to do is move the gasoline into the buildings on both sides of the street, and then make a few holes in the gasoline barrels to let the gasoline flow out, understand? ”

"Understood!" Several soldiers replied.

"Go ahead!" Qin Chuan confessed: "Pay attention to safety!" ”

"Don't worry, Sergeant!" Several German soldiers replied excitedly.

Qin Chuan thought that they could do it, because compared to fighting the British army head-on, this task could be said to be simple and safe...... The British had always focused their attention on destroying buildings, and the soldiers just had to remember to keep their distance from the British.

But Qin Chuan underestimated the "courage" of these gang leaders from the cooking class, or curiosity to be exact...... Although these gang leaders have been in the army for some years, they do not have many opportunities to actually fight the enemy, and they are more often dealing with pots and pans in the area of 3 to 5 kilometers away from the front line, which makes them subconsciously have an urge to go to the front line to see the enemy, even if they fail to kill the enemy and put a few empty guns, it is not in vain.

But what they didn't expect was that this time they were facing enemy tanks and a large number of infantry, and these tanks and infantry were on high alert.

The result of the shooting of the gang leaders hiding behind the house...... Soon, a large number of shells rained down on their position, including tank guns, howitzers, and mortars, and in an instant the nearby buildings were in ruins.

So in a short time, two of the leaders of the group, covered in blood, were carried back.

"What's going on?" Qin Chuan asked.

"You're going to send someone else on a mission!" The medic replied, "We only found these two people!" ”

Qin Chuan was speechless for a moment.

"I can send you some more!" Bazel noticed the situation here

"No, Captain!" Qin Chuan looked at the street and replied, "Maybe it would be a better choice to keep this street!" ”

Qin Chuan noticed that the street was long and straight, and there were some slopes.

The mission went smoothly, the British advanced on the other side, and the German soldiers moved the gasoline drums into the building at this end, and before leaving, they made a few holes in the gasoline drums to let the gasoline flow out, and sometimes the soldiers would throw several explosive bags next to the oil drums. Of course, some of these explosives packets were wired and ready to detonate.

The British were unaware of these specially treated structures as they destroyed them farther away, and the collapsed structures unsurprisingly buried the oil drums.

In fact, if the British soldiers were more careful, they could still find some clues, such as the continuous seepage of gasoline from the collapsed buildings, and the smell of gasoline in the air.

But none of this went unnoticed by the British soldiers...... The smoke of artillery fire and the exhaust fumes of the tanks muffled a considerable part of the smell, and at the same time, the attention of the British soldiers was more focused on whether there was an enemy in the building in front of them or how to destroy the building, so the whole unit went deeper than 500 meters into the trap without knowing it.

Until a tank coincidentally pushed an oil drum out of a building when it crashed into it......

"What is this?" A British second lieutenant looked at the oil drum in front of him in a daze.

At first, the British second lieutenant thought that it was just a German soldier who had left the oil drum somewhere and was taken out by the tank, but when he stepped forward and found several small holes in the oil drum that were obviously man-made, and gasoline was bubbling out like a spring, the British second lieutenant quickly understood.

"It's a trap!" The British second lieutenant shouted, "Let's go back!" ”

But no one listened to him, and even his subordinates looked at him with surprise.

The rank of second lieutenant in the British army is too low, he has no command of the troops, and on the other hand, because all the British troops believe that this battle is determined to win, and there is no doubt that victory will be achieved soon, where are the pitfalls?!

"Gasoline!" The British second lieutenant shouted anxiously: "They have laid gasoline in this area!" ”

Only then did the British soldiers notice the gasoline drum that the second lieutenant was pointing to, which was still leaking oil, and suddenly realized.

"Go back, go back!" Someone shouted: "Call the tanks back!" ”

However, it was already too late......
