Late at night, the trough of the day's fierce battles was now a rather tranquil spectacle, and only the craters that had been blown up by the shells could tell and testify to the ordeal that had been suffered here

The bright moon in the sky cast a white cold, the bonfire on the ground radiated red warmth, and the soldiers standing guard, looking into the distance, facing the direction of home, no one knew what they were thinking, but that piece of heart did not need to be said, and it was clear at a glance

It didn't take long for something to appear in the distance. Needless to say, those soldiers also knew that those were not relatives who had come to meet them thousands of miles away, but

A soldier with a telescope poked his comrade next to him with his finger, and then whispered to him: "The British are coming, let everyone get ready." ”

"Hmm." His comrade nodded, bent over and ran away, and after ten seconds, he heard someone talking quietly not far away, and it didn't take long for the sound to spread throughout the German positions in the valley, and the British soldiers at the other end were unaware of it.

"Really, let's come to fight in a place like this at night, I don't understand what the gang above thinks." Inside one of the British tanks, the gunner saw through the observation hole and saw that it was dark outside, and he couldn't help but start complaining.

The commander of the car said as if to comfort him: "This afternoon, a group of German armored troops attacked here, and they beat them to the ground, so we had to come back to the field at night." ”

"Afternoon?" The signal soldier on one side asked the commander with some doubts: "Why didn't we receive their request for help in the afternoon, if reinforcements came at that time, we should be able to surround the Germans in the trough and fight, then I don't know how easy it is." ”

"yes, why didn't you receive it," the commander said with a sigh. Actually, he still knows. I knew that the infantry had sent a message asking for help, but at that time, the intelligence said that the Germans had powerful new tanks, and the 6-pounder guns on the infantry positions could not cause any damage to it. Coupled with the current general environment, the British army is in a state of retreat on all fronts, and there is only a difference between one day earlier and one day later to hand over these scattered positions to the Germans, in this case. It's hard to stir up the feeling of desperate fighting.

However, in the evening, this matter took another 180-degree turn, and after the infantry squad withdrew to the rear position, not only their captain, but even all the members of the team clearly expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the decision of their superiors. They thought that as long as a certain amount of support was given, that position would definitely not be lost, and it was even more unlikely that they would be so aggrieved that they could not even fight back when they were beaten by the Germans, and they had to blame them for this. Ultimately. In the midst of strong protests, the British decided to reformulate this tactic.

They sent out scouts, and it wasn't long before the good news came back - the German panzer squad had been driven out of the trough, and they had left only one infantry squad without anti-tank weapons to defend the unit, so that the British could finally make up their minds to carry out the next step of tactics - to retake the position!

"How many more 6-pounder guns are there?" The driver asked the only thing he wanted to know about this mission, if this time the Germans had no armored units, then the only thing that could pose a threat to them was the anti-tank guns they had left behind.

The commander smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The guys' anti-tank guns were either destroyed by German tanks, or while retreating. It was blown up by itself, and there were no usable anti-tank weapons left, so we just had to attack faster this time, and take the position before the German support arrived. ”

After saying that, the commander pointed behind him with his thumb. He smiled and said, "Aren't there still two infantry squads behind us?" As long as we resist the pressure, the rest will be solved by them, and this battle is definitely handy! ”

After that, the British soldiers joked and encouraged each other on the radio for a while, and they rushed to the dark trough in front of them with excitement and the belief of victory. And there the German soldiers were ready to meet them

"They're coming in soon, tell the brothers, get closer." An officer was looking down at the Germans in front of him and whispering to the soldier next to him. The soldier nodded, and was about to leave to convey the commander's order, but when he thought that his hand was being grabbed by force, he immediately looked back and saw that the commander was waving his hand to him and let him pass.

"What else?" Compared with the officer's composure, the soldier obviously looked a little anxious, but the officer who saw his expression just patted him lightly on the shoulder and said another word to him lightly.

"Let the brothers all be restrained, don't work hard, don't forget that we still have a backhand." After hearing this, the soldier suddenly realized, nodded violently, and turned like a grasshopper that had sunk into the grass, and could no longer find any trace of him

Not long after that, the British army entered a low point, and even if the German infantry did not shoot, the British knew that there was an enemy here, so they were not stupid enough to send the infantry to die first. Several flares flew into the sky, and the troops on the high ground were exposed in an instant, and they immediately began to return fire.

The dense machine-gun fire of the German army instantly enveloped the British squad, but even if the penetration of these bullets was high, it could not pose a threat to the tanks, under the light of the flares, the British tanks continued to advance against countless flying machine gun bullets, and after aiming, they also began to return fire with artillery.

"Resist the pressure, let's bring them closer!"

The captain gave a loud order, and the German soldiers began to dodge the enemy's return fire while trying their best to slow down the enemy's attack. However, the more this is the case, the more unscrupulous the British advance becomes, and their infantry has begun to advance with tanks as the center, and in this situation, they can be said to have completely regained the face lost in the afternoon!

As it was now, the German infantry could be said to have no room to fight back, and their squad leader looked around again, and felt that the time had come, so he picked up the microphone next to him and said inside: "Our mission is complete, now it's up to you!" (To be continued.) )
