Chapter 44 Contradiction

"Detonate!" Bazer gave an order when he saw the time was right.

The engineers who had been ready had used a piezoelectric switch, and heard a series of loud noises one after another. There were one or two places next to each street.

The explosion is secondary, and the oil barrels raised by the shock wave and the flames are the main ones. They quickly ignited the surrounding ruins that had been penetrated by gasoline, which made them ignited like torches.

Then, the flames spread to other places like dominoes. After a while, half of Tenger Tentels burned, and from a distance it looked like a fire city.

And the British army is inside.

So the shrill shouts quickly rang out. At that moment, Qin Chuan truly realized what "ghost crying and howling" is... Some screams were like wolves, some were screaming from monkeys, and some were like the sounds of some kind of birds. But no matter what they looked like, they were all desperate screams made with the last trace of strength in extreme pain. It was like an ice skate penetrated into the depths of Qin Chuan's soul, making Qin Chuan shivered even in front of the high temperature of the desert and the flames.

Then Qin Chuan saw some people in the flames. To be precise, they were like evil ghosts from hell, waving their hands and running around the streets and buildings, and some rolling on the ground, as if they wanted to extinguish the flames on their bodies... But this was obviously futile, because there were flames everywhere and nowhere for them to be.

The situation of British tanks is similar. They are invincible in front of German artillery fire and bullets, but they appear extremely fragile under the flames... This does not mean that the flames will burn through the armor, but that the flames will ignite the engine and then ignite the entire tank. Then the tank explodes with a "boom" and becomes a ball of fire.

Some tank crew members are smarter. They increase the accelerator and hope to rush out of the sea of ​​fire as quickly as possible. Although this may still be difficult to escape death, at least they will not die so miserably.

However, their idea was destined to be just a luxury... The heat in the desert area itself, coupled with the barbecue of gasoline, caused the temperature nearby to rise sharply, and it was difficult for the engine of the "Matilda" tank to work normally at such high temperatures.

So after a while, the tank stopped, and then flames spread like pythons and climbed onto the tank.

Qin Chuan saw the tank hatch opening open, and several British tank crew members crawled out from inside. They were at a loss when they looked at the flames around them. Some of them waved to the German army hard for help... Soon they knew they had no hope, so someone drew their pistols and pointed them at their heads, and then ended their lives with a "bang".

Although others were unwilling to do this, they still had to follow suit when the flames pressed step by step.

The German soldiers watched them fall down quietly, and the soldiers did not move because they knew that no matter what they did, it was unnecessary, or it could be said that they were also shocked by the cruel scene in front of them, even though those who were devoured by the flames were the enemies.

As Qin Chuan, who made this suggestion... he was just thinking about how to defeat the enemy and his comrades' lives. Now when he really saw this scene, he realized that it was not as easy to accept as he thought.

However, it's not over yet.

One of the streets did not place much gasoline due to the casualties of the gang leader, so it became the only escape passage in the fire.

This caused many British survivors to move to this street. For a while, the street was overcrowded, and some British troops with fire rushed in desperate attempts... This inevitably caused some riots in the British army.

However, this is just a trivial matter. This escape passage is not an escape passage, because on the other side of the street, German soldiers have prepared cars full of oil barrels for them...

"Attack!" Bazel gritted his teeth and ordered. At this time, he seemed to be a little reluctant, even though he was already a veteran who had been used to life and death on the battlefield for a long time.

As soon as the German soldiers received the order, they started the car and pressed the stones that had been prepared on the accelerator. Then the car roared and rushed towards the British army.

The panicked British army rushed to fire rows of bullets at the car... The car should have lost power halfway, its engine was ahead, and there was no armor. The bullets could easily penetrate the engine and destroy it.

But the car rushed towards the British army due to inertia and the inclination of the street... and then it hit the tank used by the British army to cover with a "bang".

The British army was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but found that gasoline barrels had rolled out of the rear compartment of the car, and the gap in the oil barrel was swelling and desperate gasoline was flowing.

Bazel calmly lit a match and lit a cigarette, then threw the match on the ground... A light blue flame came out with a "bloom" sound, and then headed straight for the British army like waves.

"Back, back!" the British soldier shouted.

But it was too late. With a loud "boom", the whole car was blown into the sky where the flames passed. The oil barrel flew everywhere in the sky. After falling back to the ground, it immediately turned into a ball of flame. What's worse was that it rolled straight on the ground, like a hot wheel.

Qin Chuan withdrew his gaze and hid behind the wall. He no longer had the courage to face these things, especially because they were caused by himself.

At this time, he saw Alphredo squatting in the corner of the wall. He stared at Qin Chuan with his horrified eyes, as if he didn't know Qin Chuan at all.

Qin Chuan knew what Alphredo's eyes meant. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

Because Qin Chuan knew that saying anything at this time was just an excuse, and no matter how gorgeous the words were, they could not change the fact that they caused the tragic deaths of these British people.

So Qin Chuan could only avoid Alphredo's gaze, took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket, pulled out one from it with his trembling hands and held it in his mouth. When he touched his pockets everywhere, he realized that he didn't know where the match was going.

With a "scream", Kuhn had walked to him at some point. He lit a match to help Qin Chuan ignite the cigarette, then patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Good job, Sergeant, you saved all of us!"

Qin Chuan did not answer, he smoked cigarettes in a burning manner, sipped after sip.

Save people, or kill people?

Hero, or demon?
