"They're using tanks to demine!" An Indian soldier shouted.

"It can't be!" This opinion was quickly refuted by the British officer: "We have anti-tank mines, and their tanks cannot clear them like this!" ”

It was not until a "mine-sweeping tank" was blown off by an anti-tank mine that the British officers thoroughly saw what kind of "monster" was in the minefield.

The "mine-sweeping tank" was too anxious, and according to the procedure, if an anti-tank mine was detonated, it should stop and check the iron chain, and if the iron chain was blown up, it should be replenished in time.

However, the driver swept the mine, and continued to move forward even though an anti-tank mine had already been detonated, and as a result, an anti-tank mine leaked through the chain, and then "boom" ...... Fortunately, this is an anti-track mine and not an anti-chassis mine, otherwise it would not have been as simple as blowing up the covering.

"Hell, what's that?!" The British officer looked at what appeared in the aperture of the telescope in disbelief, and then exclaimed: "Quick, report to the command, the Germans have invented a new weapon, this thing can sweep mines!" ”

General Auchinleck was stunned when he heard the news.

"New weapons? Can you sweep mines? General Auchinleck asked.

"Yes, General!" Major General Ritchie replied: "I heard that the minesweeper is fast!" ”

"How fast?" General Auchinleck asked again.

"They didn't say it!" Major General Ritchie replied: "But they say that if the Germans are not stopped any longer, in half an hour the Germans will be able to pass through the minefield!" ”

General Auchinleck's face couldn't help but change, and Dirsiin was different from Roissat...... The Rhois Isat Ridge was not suitable for tank combat, and even the Germans could rely on the terrain to block the Indian division through a minefield.

But Dilsien was a flat village, and the backbone of its defense was mines and artillery, the main force of India's 4th Infantry Division.

But now...... The mines had been turned into a paper wall, but the troops and artillery had been transferred by General Ochinlek in the direction of the Rwa Isat Ridge.

It was then that General Auchinleck realized that he had fallen for the Germans again.

"Immediately transfer the 5th Artillery Regiment in the direction of Dirsine!" Ochinlake ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

The 5th Artillery Regiment is the M7 "Priest" self-propelled artillery regiment, which is the rapid reaction force of the artillery, and only they can reinforce Dirsine in time.

But in fact, it was too late, because the German army was much faster than the British army thought, because soon the German infantry was also actively involved in the mine clearance...... THEY THREW GRENADES FROM BEHIND THE TANK, AND THERE WERE ALSO 50MM MORTARS, WHICH COULD NOT SWEEP THE MINES AWAY, BUT THEY COULD GREATLY REDUCE THE PRESSURE ON THE "MINESWEEPER TANKS" FROM THE NEED TO REPLACE CHAINS TOO MUCH.

So before the British 5th Artillery Regiment arrived, the German "No. 3" tank rushed into the defense line of the Indian 4th Infantry Division with German soldiers like hungry wolves and tigers.

The Indian army collapsed almost as soon as the tanks broke through the Indian lines, and even the British officers shouted at them with pistols to no avail...... Things like obedience, happiness in the afterlife, and so on are all gone at this moment, and all that remains is the instinct to escape.

And, who's to say that this is not brought about by religion?

There are pros and cons to everything, and the Indians showed "loyalty", "obedience" and "bravery" to the British under the influence of religion, but it was precisely religion that gave the Indians an excuse to escape...... Isn't defeat God's will? We didn't run away because we were cowardly, but because fate had arranged it! God has arranged all this, so how can we fight against God?

This is also one of the reasons why Indians are lazy...... If everything is arranged by God, no matter how hard you try, you can't change your fate, and even if you change your fate through hard work and live a good life, then you will have to suffer again in the next life.

So...... Why not lie down on the side of the road and sleep?

Because of this, India's army was less effective than it was during the colonial period after independence.

The Indian army during World War II was commanded by British officers, who, although bureaucratic and condescending to the Indian soldiers, at least knew how to fight and how to maintain military discipline.

After India's independence, all of these British officers were withdrawn, and the Indian high castes acted as officers to direct the war...... That is to say, they do not treat low-caste soldiers as human beings, and at the same time, they do not have much strategic and tactical knowledge.

Qin Chuan knew that this war actually had little to do with India, they were only colonized by the British, and they themselves were unwilling to be slaves of the British, so they came here in droves with guns on their backs to become cannon fodder.

But Qin Chuan couldn't manage so much...... As long as he is on the opposite side and has a gun in his hand, he is the enemy, and if he is the enemy, he should be killed, for whatever reason.

This is war.

Therefore, Qin Chuan raised his gun again and again, pulled the trigger, and shot bullets into the backs of the Indian soldiers, some of whom did not even wear helmets but had a hat wrapped around their heads with very bright red bandanas...... Indians are fond of bright colors, but this only makes them a target on the battlefield.

The sound of gunfire and explosions continued, and even the "minesweeper tanks" rushed all the way forward...... At this time, the "mine-sweeping tank" was no longer a mine-sweeping tank, and after breaking through the minefield, the "mine-sweeping tank" lost its role.

Of course, just in case, there were still several "minesweeper tanks" that did not take part in the battle.

For the rest, simply leave the conveyor belt behind with a turret turn and turn into a standard "three" tank into battle.

The Indian army itself was far inferior to the British in terms of equipment...... If the British army is a first-class army, the Indian army can only be regarded as a third-class army at most, because there are two armies in the middle, Australia and New Zealand, which are of the same language as the British.

As a result, the anti-tank units of the Indian army were mostly equipped with 2-pounder anti-tank ...... This thing has a fast rate of fire, but it can't penetrate the front armor of the "No. 3" tank.

A group of Indian soldiers pushed through a few anti-tank guns to block the German attack, but a few guns were bombarded by the Germans...... These guns were not even fired by German tanks.

Indian soldiers are confused, and they rarely calculate the range of anti-tank guns, how deep they penetrate, or what weapons the enemy is equipped with and at what range they will pose a threat to themselves.

That's why they do such useless work...... PUSH THE 2-POUNDER ANTI-TANK GUN WITHIN RANGE OF THE GERMAN 50MM MORTAR TO ATTACK THE OPPOSING TANK.
