Chapter 58 Cars
"Colin!" When Qin Chuan found Colonel Slein, he was surprised to see him fiddling with a handful of MP40.
"You came just right, Sergeant!" said Colonel Slain, " Stay by my side. I have always wanted to see your marksmanship but I can't do it. Today I don't think you will disappoint me!"
"Colin!" Qin Chuan said: "I hope you can stop the attack, we may have a better way!"
"No, Sergeant!" Colonel Slain replied: "We have no time anymore, because I just got the news that the enemy plane will appear over our heads in a few minutes!"
The German army had their intelligence channels, especially in Tobrook... This was once the place where the Italian army was stationed. Before the Italian army retreated, it would of course leave some inside lines among the people, so the inside lines transferred the intelligence to the Italian army, and the Italian army then transferred it to the German army.
"I came for this..." Qin Chuan said: "Maybe we can use the enemy's plane!"
"Use? How to use it?" Colonel Slain was shocked when he heard this: "Sergeant, do you think the enemy's fighter jets and bombers will listen to us?"
"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "But... if you were a British pilot, what would you rely on to identify the enemy and bomb?"
"The direction of the enemy-to-we-confrontation, the guidance of the reconnaissance aircraft, and our helmets!" Colonel Slain replied.
Colonel Slain was a little impatient because he thought that the arrogant sergeant in front of him was wasting his precious time.
"What if we hide?" Qin Chuan said: "Just like we used to avoid British reconnaissance planes, covering ourselves with a raincoat!"
"Sergeant!" Colonel Slain smiled and said, "You don't think you can escape the British bombing like this, we have many cars parked next to you!"
"That's what I'm going to say..." Qin Chuan continued: "What if we park our cars next to the enemy's defense line?"
"So what?" Colonel Slain replied: "The British planes can easily blow these cars...and wait!"
At this time, Colonel Slain suddenly realized something, then opened his mouth wide and looked at Qin Chuan, and after a while, he said, "Yes, they will drop all the bombs on the British defense line. You are such a genius, Sergeant! God, we are saved!"
Then Colonel Slain did not hesitate at all and gave several orders in a series of orders:
"Machine gunner, drive away the annoying 'mosquito'!"
"Mosquito" refers to the British army's "mosquito" reconnaissance aircraft. As long as this thing is still in the air, they may guide British fighters and bombers to carry out accurate bombing of the correct area, which is something that the German army cannot tolerate.
It was not difficult to drive away the "mosquitoes". The German army immediately treated the MG34 machine gun as a anti-aircraft machine gun and fired rows of bullets into the air. The German army did not do this before just because they did not want to waste the originally small bullets on the "mosquitoes", but now it is different. Colonel Slein's order was to "drive away these "mosquitoes" with all the bullets!" So before this, two "mosquitoes" fighters could only fly far and high, and one of them was even blown out of black smoke.
"The attack was cancelled, and the entire army was covered with air defense!"
The purpose of this order is to prevent British fighter jets and bombers from discovering targets... Without the guidance and instructions of reconnaissance aircraft, it is not easy to see down from the air and on high-speed aircraft to find ground targets, especially the ground targets are still camouflaged, so they can only find other things, such as cars as reference objects to guess the enemy's location.
Then there is another command:
"Auto soldier, find a way to get the car into the enemy's defense..."
"Colin!" A car soldier asked: "How can we get cars into the enemy's defense! They have machine guns and anti-tank guns..."
Colonel Slain was so angry that he cursed: "Think about it with your butt, or you can choose to rush in with a car!"
The method is actually very simple, which is to fix the steering wheel, press the accelerator after starting the car... The car will rush all the way to the enemy's defense line, and the flatness of the desert area makes the car not have to consider whether it will overturn.
As for whether the car will be blown up or wrapped in barbed wire, it doesn't matter, what is important is that British pilots see it.
So with a "rumble" sound, cars rushed towards the British defense line one by one.
As expected, rows of bullets were immediately fired in the British bunker, and occasionally a few shells... But those shells rarely hit cars, perhaps because the British engineers who operated those anti-tank guns.
This made many cars successfully break into the British defense line, but they were soon stopped by barbed wire and could not move forward... When the car was stopped, the motor still roared and the wheels were still spinning, so they quickly dug a deep pit on the spot to get deep into it.
Qin Chuan didn't care about this. He followed the same route and returned to his company, then found a seat and lay down, then took out the poncho from his backpack and covered it with his body like someone else.
"Sergeant!" Bazel lay two positions away from Qin Chuan. As the company commander, he was not suitable for asking questions at this time, but he couldn't help asking: "What have you thought of? Could it be that these cars are rushing into the enemy's defense?"
Werner interrupted: "Should we install explosives, gasoline or something in these cars!"
"Just like in Tenger?" said the baker: "This is not possible, because the enemy is hiding in the bunker, it is difficult for us to hit it, and we can only put explosives and gasoline in the rear compartment... Even if we hit it, we are afraid that we will not be able to destroy it!"
Then everyone stopped talking, looking at Qin Chuan, just waiting for him to reveal the mystery.
"Let's wait and see!" Qin Chuan said, then looked at the east sky and said, "They are here!"
The soldiers followed Qin Chuan's eyes and saw a faint shadow of several planes appearing under the dazzling sunlight, and then more and more...
"God!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim: "They came so many times this time!"
"Yes!" Bazer replied worriedly: "They want to solve all of us in one go!"
"The British really look down on us!" said Werner.
"Sergeant!" The big bear, who was lying in front of Qin Chuan, couldn't help but turn around and said to Qin Chuan: "Compared to being killed by an enemy plane, I think it's better to try to rush up and break through the enemy's defense..."
