Chapter 38: Life and Death

"Boom!" The grenade made a loud noise outside.

Of course, grenades cannot blow up tanks, but grenades can kill them and injure the British infantry that follows the tanks... This is also Qin Chuan's purpose.

Almost at the same time as the explosion, Qin Chuan jumped off the table and jumped to the window and raised his gun... At this time, the tank had already opened the window, so the infantry following him completely exposed to Qin Chuan.

And these infantry were dizzy by the grenade Qin Chuan just now, either lying on the ground or bleeding from his head and no ability to fight back.

With a "bang!", Qin Chuan pulled the trigger.

Qin Chuan did not aim, the distance between the enemy and us was only a few meters away, and the gray and black dust on the British army's face could even be seen clearly.

It is almost impossible to miss this distance. The bullet hit a British army without any surprise. The inertia of the bullet leaned back with his body, like a rope dragging him behind him and then slowly fell down.

Qin Chuan saw unwilling regret in the eyes of the British army... He held a Mills grenade in his hand and told Qin Chuan the answer. As long as Qin Chuan was a few seconds late, he would pull the security pin of the grenade and throw it in through the window.

It is obvious that if he succeeds, Qin Chuan will die.

But there is never any if on the battlefield. A few seconds later is the difference between life and death.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan didn't dare to think too much, pulled the bolt as fast as possible and pulled the trigger again to knock down a British army.

Qin Chuan was a little nervous at this time because he noticed that there were seven or eight British troops behind the tank. They had come back to their senses from the explosion of the grenades and noticed the window where Qin Chuan was.

Qin Chuan knew what this meant: he only had a K98K in his hand, but the British army had a much faster "Enfield" rifle, and Qin Chuan even found that a British army was holding a "Thomson" submachine gun.

(Note: The British army lost a large number of equipment in the Great Retreat of Dunker. The Sden submachine guns that it urgently developed were not equipped at this time. Most of the submachine guns equipped in the early days of the North African War were "Thomson" submachine guns provided by the United States.)

Needless to say, what will happen next, the British army will use firepower to block Qin Chuan's window, and then drop a few grenades in... Qin Chuan's life will be over.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and fired another bullet.

The bullet first shot a British rifleman and then a submachine gunman behind him.

Before, Qin Chuan had heard that the second injury was more serious than the first injury. Qin Chuan was half-believing and half-doubting about it until he saw the British submachine gunman in the rear and was knocked down to the ground and killed on the spot.

This is because the bullet is not enough to penetrate when it hits the second person, so all the kinetic energy is released in the body. However, death is all about death, so what is the difference between which way of death?

However, Qin Chuan had no time to load and fire the gun at this time... The disadvantage of the bolt-pull rifle is that the fire speed is too slow. At this time, several British soldiers raised their guns at Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan didn't even have time to avoid it... For the first time, Qin Chuan felt that death was so close to him, and he seemed to see a bullet shooting out of the gun chamber and then making a blood hole in his head.

At this moment, with the sound of "dadada" gunshots, all the British soldiers screamed and fell down.

It was Werner and Keller, who leaned out from the other side of the street and used MP40 to knock the British to the ground.

Qin Chuan was stunned for a few seconds, then realized that the battle was not over yet, so he raised his gun again and pointed it at the British army in other directions to pull the trigger.

While one bullet was shot out from the gun chamber, Qin Chuan found that there was a cold sweat on his back at some point.

British infantry were successfully blocked on the other side of the street by Qin Chuan and others, but the tanks still didn't know anything and kept moving forward... The tanks had poor external perception ability, especially during combat, the chariot leader did not dare to open the turret and poked his head out, so he could only hide inside and use a periscope to observe. Their attention was almost entirely focused on the front, and what happened behind them could only be handed over to the infantry or God.

So, a German soldier drilled out of the building and held an anti-tank grenade in his hand... It was a PWM bump-fighting anti-tank grenade. Its appearance resembled a common flask in chemistry courses. The bottle mouth was very long. The semicircular hood on its head ensured the accuracy of the throwing direction, and an umbrella-shaped stable tail on the handle further ensured its stability during flight.

The German soldiers swung the anti-tank grenade at the tank with force... The anti-tank grenade opened its tail in the air like a small umbrella, and then steadily hit the rear of the tank with his head forward.

"Boom", the tank caught fire after a violent explosion.

"Matilda" uses a gasoline engine, which is easy to ignite. Soon, the ammunition in the tank exploded. After a roar, the entire turret was blown up and threw it into the air and then fell heavily to the ground. The tank crew inside must have died and no one could see it.

The German soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a "rumble" motor sound came from the other end of the street again.

The soldiers couldn't help but look at me and I looked at you. They didn't understand how there were so many British tanks in this inconspicuous town. If the British army had so many tanks, why should they be deployed in a city that was not suitable for tank combat?!

This also made the German soldiers feel lucky. Otherwise, if these tanks were lined up outside the city and supplemented with infantry firepower... they would not know how much the price they would have to pay if they wanted to capture them without the 88 anti-aircraft guns.

Now it's another matter, because tanks are known to be not suitable for street combat.

This is because the buildings in the city will hinder the tank's sight so that it cannot exert its long-range firepower advantage, and it is also not convenient to maneuver. On the other hand, it is because infantry can approach the tank from all directions with the help of the cover of the building and destroy it.

As a result, one British tank after another was blown up by the German army.

The British army soon discovered that they could not win, so they chose to surrender.

What surprised the German army was that after statistics, it was found that there were 38 "Matilda" tanks in Tenger, 20 of which were blown up by the German army during the battle, and the other 18 were all in the hands of the German army and were well preserved.

In fact, the British army could choose to blow up these tanks and then surrender, but the British army did not do so because they were worried that the German army would retaliate against them and kill them all.
