Chapter 517 Surrender
If you still fight World War II with the tactics of World War I, it is bound to be a tragic result.
Times are changing and technology is developing. The World War II initiated by Germany used a brand-new style of play, and the long-distance attack of tanks completely made the positional warfare of World War I a thing of the past.
At the same time, the use of automated weapons in combat has become more widespread.
A single-shot bolt-action rifle can't play a role at this time. Whoever has the most powerful firepower has the hope of winning. Germany's elite troops, such as the Waffen SS, have been fully replaced with 6.8mm MP38. "Submachine gun".
At the same time, other units, such as armored units, purchased the slightly backward MP36 submachine guns, and still used 9mm pistols. Within 100 meters, the firepower was still extremely fierce.
Moreover, compared with this submachine gun in history, the biggest change is the use of drums. Even if the drums have more risks of jamming, the soldiers still pursue the number of bullets to carry.
When the magazine and the drum are issued at the same time, the soldiers are willing to carry the drum. This equipment with a capacity of more than 70 rounds greatly increases the confidence of the soldiers in the battle.
Like now.
The submachine guns are blaring, even if the hunters don't have machine guns, the submachine guns in their hands are enough to make up for the lack of firepower.
When all the stalkers ran down with soldiers with submachine guns, the sneak attackers were destined to be sad.
A 9mm bullet may not kill him instantly, but at least it can give him a painful wound and stop the opponent from fighting. At the same time, due to the high rate of fire of the submachine gun, as long as the bullet is shot, it is almost instantaneous. Several rounds.
The British soldiers groaned in the storm of submachine guns. They were still one-sided just now. The situation was quite good. When the firepower of the submachine guns came up, they suddenly turned around.
Many British tankers were killed.
A soldier was about to throw his Molotov cocktail. Then, his body was shocked. Several 9mm bullets hit him in the chest. He leaned back weakly, and the Molotov cocktail fell. to the tank beside him.
The "Matilda" Type 1 tank also used gasoline engines. Soon, the fire surrounded the entire tank.
Another soldier wanted to throw the No. 74 grenade in his hand, but just as he was about to throw it out, the dense rain of bullets hit him. The grenade in his hand fell and just stuck to his clothes. Looking at the grenade, a word came out of his mouth.
“shit…”
"Boom!" After the violent explosion, his entire body was nowhere to be found. It was all blown into pieces, and a large pit appeared on the ground. The power of this grenade was enormous.
Lying down next to his tank, Herbart was panting heavily. Just now, the grenade he threw didn't hit the opponent, but fell down. Of course he wasn't reconciled.
He took out the second one. He wanted to throw it out, but before he could pull the needle, he was swept away by the opponent's machine gun. A large hole was opened in his leg, pulling a lot of meat flying. When he came out, he knew that his leg was useless.
At the same time, he also knew that this ambush on his own side was about to fail.
The results are not bad, killing more than a dozen tanks of the other side, but, for the other side, this is just a drizzle, just a small part of one of their forwards.
They are powerless to stop the opponent's attack, especially now, when the opponent's submachine guns are used in large quantities, his men have no room to fight back.
"Boom!" There was another loud noise. Just as the commander and the loader used submachine guns to eliminate each other, the gunner did not relax, and began to use the 75mm gun to clear those British tanks.
At this distance, you can hit with your eyes closed. With the fierce fire, a "Matilda" Type 1 tank turned into burning scrap iron.
The British soldiers hiding behind were also killed.
Moreover, the follow-up troops of the Germans have already come up. Those wheeled chariots are all infantry with submachine guns. After they come up and join the battle group, the British army has no hope.
It is pointless to continue to resist.
"Order, we surrender." Herbart said to the people around him.
"We surrender!"
If there was any hope of victory, they were determined to fight to the death, and when the fight to the death had lost its value, there was no shame in surrendering, which was the creed of the British army.
During World War I, both sides surrendered many times.
Herbart's order was delivered very slowly, and after ten minutes, sporadic gunshots stopped.
The surviving British soldiers, throwing away their weapons, were gathered together.
Mayer also came down from his own tank. It can be said that he inherited the advantages of the Germans and looks handsome. Now, seeing these British prisoners, and looking at the other commander Herbart, he has a big Foot, stepped on Hebart's rotten leg.
In an instant, sweat appeared on Herbart's forehead. His face was pale and he endured the pain. He said to Mayer, "We have surrendered. Please abide by the Geneva Convention and give us the necessary treatment."
There are many of his subordinates who are very lucky.
Meyer's foot continued to step on it and rolled it twice. The injured position stabbed Herbart's nerves. He finally couldn't help it and hummed.
"Geneva Convention? Shit!" Mayer said. "My troops do not take prisoners!"
After Mayer finished saying this, the British man on the opposite side suddenly changed his face.
"Shoot!" Mayer yelled.
In an instant, the British prisoners panicked and ran to the back. At the same time, behind them, machine guns sounded.
"Nice job," Mayer said.
If they all died here, there might be trouble afterwards. Now, he deliberately left an opening to let the other party run, and then he was shot in the process of running, then it was not his own problem.
No one can run past machine gun bullets, and now the scene is pleasing to the eye.
To hate, then hate this war! Hate the humiliation that Britain and France imposed on Germany after World War I! This can only make the Germans dry their tears and throw themselves into the war more determinedly!
Most of the German troops were led by the Junkers officer corps, and they could abide by the honor of the soldiers, but some people did not think so.
Cruel? Look at history, how did other countries treat German prisoners of war? Not to mention the Soviet Union, but the United States alone, millions of German prisoners of war were tortured to death.
Mayer was just free-spirited and did what he liked.
