Chapter 359 Warehouse

The 503rd Airborne Regiment of the United States may be well-trained, but they have no actual combat experience.

Such troops may be okay if they fight the positional warfare they are familiar with, because they know what they should do or how to do it.

But if they encounter some unexpected situations, some situations that they have not encountered in exercises and training, then they will be at a loss.

This is the situation at this time. They never expected that a company of soldiers would suddenly jump out from the direction of the car... A considerable number of American soldiers thought that they were British soldiers who took the initiative to help after seeing the British uniforms of these soldiers.

So the ending can be imagined. The soldiers of the French battalion raised their guns and charged and killed the American soldiers. At the same time, Werner also led the troops to press forward and completely eliminated the American soldiers on the defense line.

It took only a few minutes before and after. The entire defense line was full of corpses of American soldiers, and some injured American soldiers cried out in pain. The German soldiers came up and shot them a few more times without hesitation.

The signalman's microphone hung in the air heard a voice from the other end: "What happened? Why are there gunshots? Who attacked you?"

Before the US military figured out the situation, Qin Chuan had already led his troops into the warehouse...

There were only some porters, civilian staff and car drivers in the warehouse, so after a burst of gunfire, the warehouse was successfully occupied by the French battalion.

"Hurry up!" Qin Chuan ordered: "Withdraw within five minutes!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers responded and immediately formed several teams to place time bombs according to the steps of the drill.

The focus is on gasoline and ammunition, on the one hand because these supplies are easy to blow up, and on the other hand because they are the top priority.

As for food, military uniforms and other things...the French soldiers completely ignored them.

The soldiers moved quickly. This was not a difficult action. They only needed to activate the time bombs that had been set long ago and then throw them next to the oil barrels or ammunition boxes.

"Retreat as planned!" Qin Chuan ordered while leading the troops to the south gate. The scouts arranged by Qin Chuan were already there ready to meet them.

Before they ran far, they ran into a group of American soldiers coming to reinforce.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly groan. Although there were not many American soldiers in this group, only one reinforced platoon, they were located in a building complex. Once a fight broke out, they would definitely be scattered in the buildings to garrison. It would be difficult to get through, and once they were entangled... American soldiers from other directions would rush in, and then the French camp, including Qin Chuan, would probably stay here forever.

However, Qin Chuan suddenly had an idea and immediately shouted to the soldiers of the French camp: "Don't shoot, we are the same people, don't shoot..."

After Qin Chuan shouted like this, the US military naturally thought that this team was British soldiers. The US commander shouted to Qin Chuan: "What happened?"

"Germans!" Qin Chuan answered loudly: "They ran from the south!"

The US commander ordered without thinking: "Catch up with them, don't let them run away!"

So the US military turned around and ran towards the south gate. Qin Chuan waved his hand and led the soldiers to follow... Now their guns were all aimed at the backs of the American soldiers in front.

At that moment, Werner and a group of French soldiers didn't know how to describe their feelings.

After the war, Daniel recalled the battle and said: "We defeated the enemy? No, we were just a group of rookies who had been trained for two months. Not long ago, we were crying in the face of enemy bullets on the battlefield, while the enemy was a professional soldier, an elite force, and well-trained paratroopers. How could we defeat them! But we finally won, not because of how powerful we were, nor because of luck, but because of our lieutenant... He was just like his nickname, a magical man, he could make the enemy turn around and face us with his back, all we had to do was raise our guns, then aim at the back of the enemy's head and pull the trigger!"

This was indeed the situation at the time. The French soldiers chased up from behind, then raised their guns and aimed at the backs of the American soldiers... After a burst of gunfire, more than 40 people in a reinforced platoon fell in a pool of blood, and many people died without understanding what was going on.

Qin Chuan and his companions ran for a while, and heard a loud "bang" behind them. A burst of fire burst out from the direction of the warehouse, and then explosions sounded one after another, and broken bricks and wood fell from the sky like rain.

Just when the airport was in chaos, gunshots were heard outside the South Gate again... It was the scouts who launched an attack on the South Gate as agreed, so Qin Chuan and his companions rushed to the South Gate under the pretext of reinforcing the South Gate.

Until Qin Chuan and his companions successfully fought their way out of the South Gate and walked back to the road of No. 0 Highland, there was still chaos and gunshots in the airport.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that it was because the US and British troops in the airport inevitably suffered "friendly casualties".

The information the U.S. military received was that an enemy disguised as a British soldier had sneaked into the airport, so they regarded all the British soldiers as enemies. Of course, the British soldiers would not surrender their weapons. In the panic, they didn't know who fired the first shot, and the gunshots were loud. Even many British soldiers suspected that their comrades were disguised as enemies, so the scene became even more chaotic.

After running all the way on the road, the communicator reported to Qin Chuan more than ten minutes later: "Lieutenant, our sneak attack on the bus station was also successful!"

The soldiers cheered.

At this time, gunshots and artillery fire were heard from Hill Zero.

To be precise, not only Hill Zero, but all the high grounds of the Gabes Line occupied by the British Army launched attacks at the same time... The battle on Hill Zero was small, because there was only one battalion of British troops stationed there. Colonel Slaine led the German soldiers to sneak out of the tunnel and eliminated them before the British Army could react.

The fierce battles were on Hills 7 and 12. These two high grounds were located on both sides of Hill Zero. The British Army built fortifications here and arranged key points in the hope of blocking the attacks of the German armored divisions on both sides.

But this was obviously a fantasy, not for anything else, but because there were still many German troops in the tunnels of these high grounds.

First, there was a bombardment of the German surface positions... This bombardment could be carried out with confidence, because the German troops on the high ground were still in the tunnels.

Then, taking advantage of the artillery bombardment, the German army came out of the tunnels in groups... The British army, who had never seen tunnel warfare, could never imagine that the enemy would come out of the ground and suddenly appear in front of them.
