"How is that possible!" Big Bear replied: "Our plane is still in Italy, and if it is our plane, it should have come from the west instead of the east..."

Then Big Bear opened his mouth and spoke for a long time, because at this time, two bombers had already dived down and dropped bombs on the British defense line.

"What's going on?" Big Bear was a little confused.

Before Big Bear finished speaking, two bombs exploded in the British defense line, and even Qin Chuan and others, who were one kilometer away, could feel the vibration.

That was the bomb dropped by the "Mosquito" bomber. There are many modifications of the "Mosquito" aircraft, and the more successful one is the light bomber... As mentioned before, the "Mosquito" speed is faster than the most advanced fighter in the UK, and faster than the German fighter. Therefore, the "Mosquito" bomber does not need fighter jets to fly... Anyway, no fighter can catch up with it, so it is very safe.

The disadvantage is that there is only a bullet cabin next to the belly of the machine and the space is small... The "mosquito" wooden wing is not suitable for mounting bombs, which makes it only carry a bomb weighing 4,000 pounds, because the bomb is a long-cylinder-like "biscuit" that is packaged, and British soldiers called it "biscuits".

Obviously, the two "mosquito" bombers dropped "biscuits" just now to indicate the bombing area for other bombers... The "mosquito" bombers dropped bombs very accurately. The most classic example of the battle was "Operation Jericho": 6 "mosquito" bombers bombed the Gestapo headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands at a low altitude. The entire operation was very accurate. The first two bombs exploded a hole in the building, and the latter two threw the incendiary bombs accurately from the hole, successfully burning a large number of archives to protect the underground resistance organization. This degree of accuracy was only reappeared in the Gulf War decades later.

Under the "instructions" of the "Mosquito" bomber, a large number of medium and heavy bombers followed soon opened the bullet bay and dropped a batch of bombs with roaring sounds. In an instant, the bombs exploded in pieces in the British defense zone. Fires shaking one after another, and a layer of carpet-like smoke exploded on the ground... No wonder some people call it "carpet bombing".

In the smoke, you can occasionally see many "mosquitoes" dive down and drop bombs on the car accurately, so the car was blown into pieces one after another.

The bombing lasted for ten minutes... More than a hundred British bombers came up in several batches and dropped all the bombs they carried.

Qin Chuan thought that the British pilots were afraid of cheering and celebrating in the air at this moment, but they didn't expect that the bombs they just dropped actually fell on their own people.

In fact, most German soldiers did not expect that, like a big bear, they only looked at the scene in front of them and were stunned... After the British plane flew away, he turned back and looked at Qin Chuan and asked, "Sergeant, have you cast any magic on them?"

Before Qin Chuan could answer, he heard an order: "All attack!"

This is a good opportunity to attack... Those aviation bombs have blown away barbed wire, trenches, mines, etc. on the British defense line, and even many bunkers are not spared.

Of course, not all bunkers were blown up. The British army built the bunkers very strongly and were scattered in the desert, so a considerable part of them survived the bombing.

But the problem is...

The smoke and dust from the bombing had covered everything, just like a sandstorm blew up on the battlefield. The British soldiers in the bunker looked out from the shot hole, and there was nothing in the white space.

They were extremely nervous and could only pull the trigger and shoot it out in a mess... This was exactly what they should not do, because it would guide the German soldiers to find the location of the bunker, and then a grenade or explosive pack was thrown into the perforation hole...

Qin Chuan, who was following behind the team, only heard explosions coming from the front, and sometimes a fog like mushroom clouds burst out in the dust... It was the ammunition in the bunker that exploded for death.

The bunker is a closed space. An explosion inside means that the British army in it cannot find even a piece of complete meat.

The German army's offensive was unstoppable, and they quickly broke through the red line and hit the blue line... Most of the mines between the red and blue lines were detonated, some were directly detonated by bombs, and more were detonated by vibrations caused by bombs, which made the German army as if they were in an unmanned realm and rushed to the blue line.

If the British army on the Blue Line rises to resist, it is still unknown who will eventually die.

But as mentioned before, most of the British troops staying in Tobrook were engineers with little combat will and quality. They almost did not dare to pull the trigger when they saw the tide of the Germans coming. Because they believed that this battle would definitely lose, they would eventually become prisoners of the Germans. Pulling the trigger to kill the Germans will attract revenge from the Germans.

In fact, what is more important is... The news from Tenger Tenger, Tugra and other places about "success can survive" has reached Tobrook. In addition, the British engineers are non-combat troops. For the British, it is not a shame to choose to surrender when they think they cannot resist, so a large number of British troops gave up on resistance.

When Qin Chuan rushed over with the team, he saw groups of British soldiers raising their hands. German soldiers waved their rifles and shouted at them, driving them out of the trenches, ordering them to pile their weapons together outside the trenches and line up on the other side.

The British army was not less than the German army at all. The total strength of the British army was several times that of the German army, but they were defeated on the whole line under the attack of the German army.

What surprised Qin Chuan even more was that he then saw armored vehicles and tanks in the defense line...

Of course, this may be because the British army was caught off guard. They did not expect the Germans to break through the red line so quickly and hit the front. Or the engineers had not received relevant training so they would not use these tanks and armored vehicles.

But in any case, this is enough to show that... War is a combination of people and equipment, and neither is missing.

"Look!" Werner, who was rushing through the defense line first, found Qin Chuan in the crowd. He couldn't help but shouted excitedly: "Our hero sergeant is here!"

Before Qin Chuan could react, he was surrounded and carried up by a group of German soldiers. They threw Qin Chuan into the air again and again with cheers.

Qin Chuan could feel the excitement and joy of the German soldiers. It was the darkness of the willows, the survival of the desperate situation, and the attack on the Jedi...
