Chapter 24: Belated Rescue

Our car passed by two scrapped tanks and saw the bodies of Britons lying on the sides of the tanks, some of them burned by flames and some of them from machine gun bullets. There is no doubt that we have no survivors, the two crews, a total of ten people, are all here, and we must not give them a chance to ventilate now, and the current situation is absolutely impossible to take prisoners. War is so cruel that there can be no compassion when life and death are decided in such a way.

Leona was so excited to see us that Vincent had to put a basin of cold water on her head in order to calm her down: "Don't be too happy, we're only halfway done." ”

"Of course, we have to save our brothers in the bunker." Marcus' answer showed that he was confident in the battle ahead.

I was also optimistic about the battle ahead: "If my estimate is correct, as long as we move fast enough, we will definitely be able to capture the position in front of the bunker before they completely reinforce and block this exit." ”

I said the only thing I was worried about now: "But it is not known whether the soldiers of these two tanks informed the rear or not, God willing, if the enemy knew, the difficulty for us would have increased exponentially."

"What to do? Are we going to do an early investigation this time? "It was Leona who spoke, and it seemed to me that she was sensitive to everything now, and she had to be settled.

"I don't think so." I looked at Vincent next to me, and he nodded in agreement, "If the enemy has reinforcements or receives a message, we should be attacked on the road, if not, we will catch the enemy by surprise this time!" ”

We led our infantry all the way back without interception. When we first spotted the enemy, it was still on the outside of our destination, so there was nothing to say, just break in!

With the vast majority of the enemy's forces on the other side, our attack proceeded very smoothly. The first three of them were the Matilda 2 infantry tank, which was known for its sturdy armor and was designed more like a French idea, and I heard that she was the only tank in the world to bear a woman's name. Although it is named after a woman, but this "Iron Lady" has brought us a lot of trouble, if it charges head-on, we can now cause effective damage to it only the 88mm medium-caliber gun produced by the Krupp company, as a multi-purpose gun, its excellent anti-tank performance was not thought of when it was originally designed, and now more and more 88 guns have entered our army, increasingly strengthening the defense capability of our army.

We looked at the three "Tin Lady" who were facing us with their backs, and now we had no need to be polite, the raging artillery fire directly hit one of the "Matildas" and set it on fire, and the only thing their crews could do now was to show us the inferiority of their chariots - the outrageous turning speed.

After the destruction of three tanks, the enemy's ability to counterattack collapsed in an instant, and all the British began to evacuate. When I was finally driven away, I was about to send my infantry into the bunker for a rescue operation, when Vincent tapped me on the shoulder

"I suggest we don't go in." Vincent spoke in a faint tone, but there seemed to be an unmistakable feeling in it.

"Why?" I didn't understand, and the voice of the rhetorical question was even a little broken.

Vincent's expression was very solemn, and he pointed to the building behind him and said: "You see that when the British retreated into the bunker, it said everything, they could rush into the bunker without hesitation, instead of retreating to the back, and the core content of their battle this time is to keep the bunker, not to recapture the entire canyon, so naturally I don't need to say more about the troops in the bunker." ”

After I heard this, it felt like a hammer was hit in the chest, but this did not discourage my fighting spirit: "Damn, even then I will try, I will not give up on any of my brothers!" ”

"Sir, we're willing to go with you!"

"For the sake of our brothers, we are not afraid of death!"

The infantrymen who participated in the battle with us also expressed their confidence.

But what happened next - I was pushed down by Vincent.

When I fell to the ground, I didn't understand what was happening, I only saw Vincent looking at me with a strange expression, and I could clearly see that he was very angry, but it seemed that he was also trying his best to suppress this anger, and even when he spoke, he trembled a little: "You still don't understand? It's just a trap! Could the British have emptied the inside of the bunker? Don't be stupid, Trode! ”

I sat on the floor for a long time, my head echoing what Vincent had said, as if it were only for a moment, but it was very long for me. Soon I was finally able to think normally, and I bowed my head weakly, because I couldn't refute him.

Then I gave the order for everyone to evacuate immediately, and when I said that, it was like a number of knives were piercing me in the heart. I don't have any memory of how I evacuated, the whole person was confused, and my crew said some comforting words when they saw my state, but I only smirked "uh-huh", and they stopped talking when they saw this.

Eventually, we withdrew from the entrance, and the mood of the whole staff was very low. Hans was very worried when he saw us, and wanted to come and inquire about my condition, but Vincent motioned for him to speak later. I squeezed a smile out of my face and told him that Leona was probably in the worst condition right now. Let Hans comfort Leona, so I can be somewhat reassured. Hans seemed to want to say something, but Vincent seemed to give him a look, which made him give up.

I didn't go to dinner either, I wasn't in the mood at all. But Vincent sat down next to me with two lunch boxes, and I just looked at him silently and didn't say anything. He set the two lunch boxes aside, lit a cigarette, and he remained silent, and just like that, the atmosphere between the two of us became very delicate
