Chapter 3

Following the exhaust and dust all the way, Qin Chuan and a group of German troops arrived in front of the hills.

The tank's advance speed suddenly slowed down, and the troops stopped. Qin Chuan stuck his head curiously and saw that a row of British tanks had appeared on the hill ahead...

Qin Chuan was not scared when he first saw these tanks. He was used to understanding everything with a peaceful society's mind. Therefore, his first reaction was that this was just a convergence car. Both sides honked the horns and then went their own way.

But soon Qin Chuan realized that this idea was wrong: this is the battlefield, and there are enemy tanks in front of him. What's worse is that there are much more enemy tanks than those in the alive tanks.

Then, before Qin Chuan could react, the fierce gunfire sounded.

The whole world suddenly became a mess: shrapnel flew around, bullets hitting tank armor, and the sound of bursting beans clearly and audible, screams, shouts, commands... Everything suddenly burst out.

The baker shouted: "Free shooting! Eliminate the enemy and use tanks as cover!"

But Qin Chuan didn't bother to shoot. He only knew how to curl his body behind the tank as much as possible, hoping that all this could pass quickly.

However, this idea is obviously unrealistic, because once the battle begins, it will eventually end with one of the parties being defeated.

A German soldier was hit on his face by a bullet as soon as he leaned out and fell to the sky. He fell in front of Qin Chuan. The bullet passed under his nose, which made his face blurry blood flow out like a spring. What's even more terrifying was that he did not die on the spot. He held his head with his hands and shivered in pain. He wanted to scream but couldn't scream. His feet twitched desperately, twitching... The verge rate was getting slower and slower, his strength was getting smaller and smaller, and finally he couldn't stop.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but shout. He didn't know why he was shouting, nor what he was shouting... He just wanted to exaggerate the fear in his heart as much as possible, otherwise he would be crazy.

Then, with a "boom", a wave of heat surged from the tank... The tank on which Qin Chuan hid was destroyed.

In fact, there were only a few German tanks left at this time.

The main tank of the German army was the "No. 3" tank, and the British army was the "Matilda".

Although the tank gun of the No. 3 tank is thicker than that of the "Matilda" (the "No. 3" tank has been equipped with a 50MM tank gun at this time, while the "Matilda" tank is still using a 40MM tank gun), the front armor of the "Matilda" 78MM is almost twice that of the 47MM armor of the "No. 3 tank.

This creates an embarrassing phenomenon: British tanks can easily penetrate German tank armor, but German tanks are difficult to do this on the front.

"Retreat!" Qin Chuan heard an order.

Qin Chuan was so scared that he forgot to escape. This sound reminded him, so he got up and ran away...

The baker shouted loudly from behind, which made Qin Chuan realize that he had done something wrong again, but he no longer cared about so much. He just hoped to stay away from this place of right and wrong or hide behind other people... He even wanted to tell everyone that this war had nothing to do with him, and this was not his world.

Qin Chuan did something wrong at this time, because "retreat" does not mean running away. Retreat is a retreat with layers of mutual cover. Otherwise, he would light up his back in front of the enemy and be massacred by the enemy, especially when the enemy had tanks... The machine guns and artillery of the tank were enough to shoot everyone who escaped in front of it.

However, Qin Chuan was very lucky because the British tanks were on the hills. When it drove down the hills to pursue the Germans, there would be a large corner that could not aim further, otherwise Qin Chuan would have been beaten into a hornet's nest.

However, the German army was not so lucky behind Qin Chuan.

The mutual cover of retreat made them lose the best time to retreat. British tanks drove down the hill one by one, and then unsurprisingly launched a massacre on the German army with artillery and machine guns.

"Damn!" Rommel, who was watching the battle in the sky, couldn't help but shouted: "Anti-tank gun cover!"

The pilot soon sent the command over the radio.

But it was soon frustrating:

"General!" said the pilot: "Our tank guns have already opened fire, but they cannot penetrate the enemy's tanks. We have no choice but to do with them!"

The 5th Light Division is equipped with a PAK36 anti-tank gun. This anti-tank gun can only barely reach 50MM at a distance of 500 meters, and of course it cannot penetrate the 78MM armor of the British "Matilda" tank.

Rommel couldn't help but say "It's over", and the things he had been worried about finally happened... If this continues, the German and Italian troops will not only be unable to pursue the British troops, but will be defeated by the British troops and return to the starting point... Even whether Tripoli can be defended is a question.

"Order them to keep!" Rommel ordered: "Anyway, you must beat the British back!"

"Yes!" the pilot responded, but couldn't help thinking: Keep it? What should I use to defend it? In this case, I will only be massacred by the enemy.

And Qin Chuan is one of the people who were chased.

Qin Chuan ran wildly, followed by the sound of British tank tracks, machine guns and artillery sounds, and from time to time, several shells exploded nearby. Several times, the shock waves of the shells pushed Qin Chuan down.

The only thing that made Qin Chuan feel thankful is that... the British "Matilda" tank was very slow, otherwise it would have come to Qin Chuan at this moment.

"Stop them!" Qin Chuan heard the German officer's loud command.

Qin Chuan looked back and felt a little ashamed of his behavior... His comrades were still fighting on the battlefield. Although their behavior was a bit like a mantis arm blocking a car, they still tried hard to use everything they had, such as explosive packs and grenades, to stop the British tanks from advancing, and they even successfully blew up two tanks.

But it is obvious that this still cannot change the ending. The British tanks slowly advanced forward like an indestructible wall, followed by a group of British troops with disc-shaped helmets. From time to time, they emerged from behind the tanks to pull the trigger... Wherever the gunshot passed, one German soldiers after another fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, Qin Chuan felt something was wrong. The African legion in history advanced all the way to Egypt in the early days. How could the British army be so powerful that they had no power to fight back?

Moreover, if this situation continues, the German army will probably have a great collapse.

Did the German army not have the equipment to deal with the British "Matilda" tank?
