But the British army ignored the gap between the stones under the tank tracks.

This gap is not conspicuous, and most people will not pay attention to it. However, Qin Chuan clearly saw the British gunner's loading action in the gap in his six-fold scope, so a bullet caused him to fall to the ground forever.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan fired another bullet.

It was a British sniper, and Qin Chuan believed he was aiming at him... When he discovered this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel scared and sweated.

The British sniper hid behind a dry tree trunk. He was covered with a yellow camouflage net, so he merged with the tree trunk.

Qin Chuan never noticed his existence until a ray of light aroused his alert... It was the light reflected from the sniper's lens, which meant that he had become the prey of the enemy sniper.

So Qin Chuan didn't even think about it, and immediately raised his gun to adjust the direction and pulled the trigger towards the position of the light. He didn't even aim because he didn't have time to aim.

Qin Chuan did not see the target falling because a shell exploded nearby, and the smoke and mud caused by the explosion blocked Qin Chuan's view.

But Qin Chuan knew that he had hit the target, otherwise he would have been dead now... The showdown between snipers is often between that thought, or half a finger distance, which can determine who will win and who will win, and the losing side will never have a chance to turn the tables.

The Germans soon gained the upper hand in the battle.

This is not only because the German army caught the British army off guard, but also because the German army occupied a favorable position... The German army was in the jujube wood forest, with tanks as shields in front of them and date palm trees for hiding, but the British army was on the open road, and their cars and tanks stood in front of the German army almost like targets.

If there is anything that the British army can hide, then build stones to protect the roadside.

But this is definitely not a good cover. It can indeed block bullets but cannot block shells... With a "boom", the tank gun fired a shell and exploded on the stone guardrail. The guardrail immediately shattered like flour and then turned into thousands of small "shlints" to fly towards the British army. The British army hiding behind them were either killed by shells or killed by these "shlints".

In fact, if he was beaten to death, some people were not beaten to death... After the war, Qin Chuan saw a British army covered in blood lying on the ground and groaning in pain. When he looked carefully, his body was densely filled with gravels, and his face was also the same. But perhaps because he was far from the guardrail, all of these gravels were not hurt on the surface.

This may be said to be lucky or unfortunate.

He is said to be lucky because he can survive in this situation.

He said he was unfortunate because he had to suffer all the pain, torture and carefully savor the pain and fear of death bit by bit before he died...

"Save me!" The British soldier said with difficulty, his eyes full of begging.

Qin Chuan shook his head powerlessly. Even if the medical staff were willing to treat him, he was afraid he would be powerless to deal with the injuries of the British soldier.

The last glimmer of hope in the eyes of the British soldier also quietly passed away. Then he reached out to grab Qin Chuan's trouser legs, saying, "Kill me!"

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his gun and pointed it at the British soldier... After hesitating, he pulled the trigger with a "bang".

The British soldier's head tilted, and his hand, which was holding Qin Chuan, loosened and collapsed on the ground weakly.

Qin Chuan didn't know what to think about this.

If there is still kindness on the battlefield, this shot might be!

In this battle, the German army lost a total of 51 tanks, of which 32 were destroyed by British bombers and fighters, and the other 19 were blown up while attacking the Coastal Avenue.

From this perspective, the British army's performance was actually good, and it could even cause considerable losses to the German army in this case.

However, this is also because the British army had an advantage in air power.

The British army suffered heavy casualties. On the coastal Avenue, the sections of British tanks, armored vehicles, and wreckages of cars were everywhere, and at random, hundreds of them were all over the place.

Despite this, this battle failed to wipe out the 15th British Armored Division. Almost half of their tanks and troops fled back to Matru when they saw that the situation was not good.

However, the Germans got what they wanted, which was to surround the British 15th Armored Division and the New Zealand 2nd Division in Matru.

"Celebrating our victory!" In the command car of Mamma, General Streck raised his wine glass and said to the officer and Qin Chuan: "Africa will soon belong to us!"

Qin Chuan understood what General Strek said.

Although the battle between Martru's battle was not ideal compared with the previous results, the 21st Armored Division lost more than 50 tanks to destroy more than 100 enemy tanks... This is much different from the previous battle loss of 10 to 20.

but……

The victory of this battle is strategic.

First of all, Matru’s rich freshwater resources and food, and occupying it means that the German army at least no longer has to worry about water, which is definitely a gratifying thing in the desert.

Secondly, the tanks of the British 15th Armored Division were the last ones that the Germans feared... At least that's what the Germans thought. In fact, not all the British 15th Armored Division were in Matru. Its armored regiment brought eighty "Valentine" tanks to reinforce the Gabusali defense line and then pursued the 21st Armored Division.

Of course, they failed to catch up, so they were transferred back to Alahman by General Ochinlek.

So to be honest, the British army's strength in Alahman is not weak. The British army has nearly 300 "Stuarts" (including the remaining tanks of the 7th Armored Division), eighty "Valentines" and more than 30 "Matildas".

This number is still much larger than the number of German tanks.

But the German army did not know about this at this time... In terms of intelligence, the German army was completely disproportionate to the British army. The British army could monitor and decipher almost all the German telegrams, including telegrams from Rommel and Hitler, but the German army could only eavesdrop on words or ask something from the prisoners.

But in fact, the information obtained from interrogating the prisoners was very limited, because the situation in the British army at this time was not an exaggeration to describe it as "chaotic"... Tanks were constantly transported from India and immediately put into the battlefield as soon as they were transported.
