Chapter 714: It's the Australian Legion (Plus 2)
The Australian soldier, screaming and rolling on the ground, knew that he did not live long, but he still did not give up, pulled the string of the last grenade, and waited for the Germans to come up and check his injuries, and died with the other party!
"Damn it, cunning fellows!" The tanker was also depressed, first the commander was killed, and then his own tank track was blown off, which was really maddening!
This tank, at most, can only circle around one side, and can not do other actions, it is useless for the time being, so the tanker did not hesitate to open the top cover, and then, took out his own weapon.
MP38 submachine gun with folding butt!
This weapon, using a 6.8 mm intermediate power rifle cartridge, takes into account both power and recoil, and is the brightest star in German weapons and equipment!
With the continuous expansion of German domination, not only in Germany itself, but also in Austria, the Czech Republic, and now in France, and other arsenals, began to vigorously produce this submachine gun, especially by using the stamping process, which further simplified production, and now, the production is quite large.
In addition to equipping the front-line armored troops, there was finally a sufficient number, and it also began to be replaced in ordinary infantry divisions, and as soon as it was issued, it was well received.
In the hands of tank crews, this submachine gun is even more of a powerful weapon, with a fast rate of fire, fierce firepower, and a good range.
When they were forced to abandon the tank, this submachine gun was the best weapon!
The tanker jumped out of the tank and the first thing he saw was the guy on the ground.
Rescue? No one has this idleness! The radio operator who came down from the front, raised his gun, and fired a shuttle at this guy's body.
Anyway, it can't be saved, a lot of blood loss in a few minutes is enough for this guy to go to God before he goes to the field hospital, it's better to send him on his way early!
The soldier's body trembled a few times, and finally stopped moving, and the grenade still did not sound.
Using the tank as a cover, several tankers held submachine guns and strafed the front, while the gun commander came out of the turret and directly flattened the 12.7mm machine gun on the top of the turret and strafed!
A group of infantrymen, relying on a couple of grenades, wants to get in trouble with the tank troops? Stop dreaming!
"Boom!" Karl Maus was extremely angry, when he just charged, his tank was in front, and now he is going backwards to destroy this group of soldiers, and his tank, it is behind.
In this way, it is more beneficial because he gets enough shooting range!
When he saw that the opponent's machine gun was still firing, he calmly observed.
Every dozen rounds fired, he would quickly move to the left rear, five or six steps back! So, Karl Maus simply waited for the other side and waited until the other side finished firing, just transferred, his tank, opened fire violently!
Huge black smoke, wound near the muzzle, 88-mm grenades, smashed accurately at the feet of Longhurst!
When the grenade exploded, Longhurst's whole person flew up! Countless fragments hit his body, and his hands were still tightly clinging to his machine gun!
Life never stops, and the battle doesn't stop!
Longhurst's big body fell from the sky, and at this time, the whole person was no longer human. Especially in the abdomen, a large mouth appeared, intestines, and fell everywhere in the sky.
He was still straining, trying to shove his intestines back, trying to pick up his machine gun again, but in the end, he stayed in this position, not moving.
If there is a threat to the tankers, the machine gun is at most, and the other Australian soldiers with rifles and bayonets are helpless to use the tank.
Now, when the German tanks besieged it, the collapse of this small Australian force was imminent.
The German army was invincible in the whole of Europe and fought a lot of battles, but they really had never seen such an opponent.
On the European continent, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will surrender, and it will not be long before the whole country surrenders, and there is no need to be ashamed.
But what about now? These soldiers are actually fighting to the death! No one surrendered, until the last man was wiped out by tank machine guns, and no one gave in.
If the enemies are like that, then it's trouble!
Karl Maus got off the tank and looked at the corpses of the other party, at the epaulettes of the other side.
In terms of appearance, the other party is also white, similar to the British, but, Karl Mauss knows that this time he has met a difficult opponent!
"Report to General Rommel that it is the Australian Legion that is guarding Tubrug." "We will surround it outside and wait for the follow-up army to arrive," Karl Maus said. ”
It was the Australian army, only an infantry platoon, more than 30 people, delayed the attack of a tank battalion of Karl Maus, it is conceivable that the closer you get to Tubrug, the greater the danger, there is no infantry to follow, and the supply convoy is not followed.
Although there is a division of Italian troops behind them, it is almost the same as letting them clean up the battlefield, and let them follow their own side to fight tough battles.
Originally, he wanted to use a surprise attack to quickly occupy Tubrug, but now that he encountered a hard bite, Karl Maus did not dare to take too many risks.
The striker encountered the Australian Legion, and the news soon reached the ears of the commander of the North African Corps, Rommel.
Hearing the news, Rommel also frowned, and then he was keenly aware of something.
"Order, all the troops that have landed, quickly advance towards Tubrug and surround Tubrug!" Rommel was in a very good mood at this time, anyway, where to fight, it is better to decide the outcome of the first war, after this battle, perhaps, there will be no more war in North Africa?
The Australian Legion is one of the most combative regiments among the British colonial legions, and even more capable of fighting than the British themselves, so, in general, the British will put this legion in the most important place, often advancing with their commander!
Now, in Tubrug, perhaps, there are more important commanders of the British!
Rommel was definitely not worried about not being able to defeat Tubrug, he was only worried that the British would run away when they saw the situation!
If the main forces of the British army were wiped out at Tubrug, then Rommel's tank forces could attack and rush all the way to the Suez Canal!
After taking the Suez Canal, the entire Mediterranean Sea will become a bathtub for Germany!
"Send a telegram to Berlin, we need to request naval support!" Rommel continued.
