The sound of gunfire soon rang out, as if the long-awaited troupe suddenly started singing, which caught people off guard. Then, with the sound of a whistle, German soldiers emerged from all corners and buildings and charged the British lines under the cover of tank, artillery and machine-gun fire.

These charges were really just a front to attract the firepower and attention of the British troops. Because only in this way did the actions of several anti-tank bombing schools not attract the attention of the British and provoke a massive counterattack from the British...... In fact, the combat effectiveness of the British army at this time was even stronger than that of the German army, because the German 88 anti-aircraft guns could not enter and could not destroy the British army's "Matilda" tank from a long distance, so the British army's "Matilda" tank could almost be said to be invincible.

But the British army is a British army after all, and its conservative character is destined to launch a counteroffensive only when they have a strong advantage, such as when they faced the Italian army before, and now they still think that the German army has a large number of tanks, so they only think about defense.

The British were clearly wrong in this way, because the advantage of the tank was its mobility, and the tank was used for passive defense like the British...... That's just using them as a turret or a bunker.

Qin Chuan has not fired.

The reason why Qin Chuan did not fire was simple, he did not find out which British troops on the opposite side were targeting anti-tank guns...... This is one of the benefits of the German PAK36 anti-tank gun, its height is only 1.1 meters, which is a lot shorter than a standing soldier, this height is difficult to find on the battlefield, especially the gunner will often pile some sandbags in front of the anti-tank gun or hang some rags, plants and the like in front of the shield for camouflage.

So although the anti-tank guns fired shells at the load-bearing wall of the school one after another, the British troops around them did not pay much attention...... The British even thought that the anti-tank guns were originally aimed at British tanks, but they missed and accidentally hit the wall of the school.

Qin Chuan is very clear: the snipers arranged in this area are used to cover the anti-tank guns, and since no one is targeting the anti-tank guns, of course the snipers do not need to fire.

But the other snipers didn't recognize this...... Soon, the sniper hiding behind the window began to shoot, and then the sniper hiding behind the hole in the wall couldn't wait to fire a round of bullets.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning, maybe he didn't explain it clearly before...... He thought that the snipers would understand what he said about "the point is to cover the anti-tank guns."

Soon, the fire of these two groups of snipers was counterproductive: not many British soldiers had noticed the street before, and now the British found anti-tank guns in the search for snipers.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan pulled the trigger.

He knocked down a British officer hiding behind a sandbag, who had apparently spotted the anti-tank gun, as his telescope was fixed in the direction of the anti-tank gun.

To make matters worse, the British officer poked his head out and looked at the site of the anti-tank gun, and then his face was full of consternation.

Qin Chuan knew that the British officers must have seen the purpose of the German army from the bombing point, or it could also be said that it was a conspiracy...... But he would never be able to tell anyone else, because a bullet pierced his head the moment he was about to duck into the sandbag.

However, Qin Chuan wasn't sure if he had hit him, because at the moment when he pulled the trigger, a gunshot rang out in the upper right.

It was a second lieutenant, his sniper was on the roof, and he and Qin Chuan chose the same target and pulled the trigger almost at the same time.

As for who killed the British officer...... I'm afraid that even the second lieutenant and Qin Chuan can't judge, because they use the same rifle to shoot the same bullet, even if they dig out the bullet that hit the British officer, they can tell who its owner is.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out.

Qin Chuan fired another bullet, and he killed a heavy machine gunner.

It was a Vickers heavy machine gun, and this was the first time Qin Chuan had seen this kind of heavy machine gun on the battlefield.

The reason for this is that the Vickers heavy machine gun is a water-cooled machine gun, and it must be constantly cooled by adding water to the thick water-cooled jacket of the barrel, otherwise the barrel will overheat and cause problems...... It's actually a lightweight version of the Mark's machine gun.

It is a very powerful weapon, and it is a very important weapon in the British army.

But the problem is that water is precious in the desert...... Although the British army's logistical supplies have always been sufficient, they are not yet extravagant enough to support the Vickers machine gun.

As a result, the British army had to basically abandon the Vickers heavy machine gun and only equip some for defense in cities where there was no shortage of water...... Astabia is a city.

This Vickers was facing the street where the anti-tank gun was, and it was condescending, Qin Chuan knew that with its rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute and its angle, it could almost beat the anti-tank gun gunners into a sieve with just one pull of the trigger. So Qin Chuan could only strike first.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan fired another bullet.

He was already in a bit of a hurry by this time, because he had to control the Vickers, who had two or three secondary marksmen, as well as the infantry next to him. In his hand, Qin Chuan's hand was a bolt-type rifle, and his speed was only enough to kill the newly replenished secondary shooter......

To put it simply, if one shot misses, the result will be a devastating blow to the German anti-tank guns.

Soon, the second lieutenant also sensed this danger, so he also joined the ranks of controlling the Vickers machine gun, and the two of them shot one at a time, and soon left a pile of corpses next to the Vickers machine gun.

But the British infantry also discovered the sniper positions of the two...... Qin Chuan actually disliked fighting the enemy at a distance of three hundred meters, because this would make it impossible for the sniper to give full play to his advantage, but on the contrary, the high rate of fire of the "Enfield" rifle was reflected.

For example, now, several British soldiers beat their rifles to a "snap", and the bullets flew towards Qin Chuan and the second lieutenant like raindrops, so that they couldn't raise their heads at all.

At the same time, the British army soon sent a few more men to operate Vickers...... As soon as Vickers sounds, whether it is a sniper or an anti-tank gun, it will be ruthlessly suppressed by its dense bullets.

But what can be done now?

Keep shooting machine gunners?

That has to be done at great risk.

But if you don't, you're likely to be in ruins......
