Chapter 38 Tenger Tengler

The commander may have launched an attack on Tengetel without fire support for two reasons:

On the one hand, no fortifications worth bombing, such as trenches, bunkers, or barbed wire, were found on the periphery.

It should be noted that the troops did not carry enough ammunition, and as an interspersed force, it was foreseeable that they would not be able to get supplies for a long time afterwards, so saving ammunition was very necessary.

On the other hand, the commander hoped to take Tengetel completely, so that the troops could better use the houses in Tengetel as cover instead of getting a ruin. In addition, they also hoped to seize ammunition from Tengetel for the troops to reserve.

It turned out that the German army underestimated the enemy, and the armed forces in Tengetel were not as vulnerable as imagined.

The attacking troops ran towards Tengetel at a speed of about ten yards, first in a column, and then quickly turned into three routes to outflank Tengetel... This was the standard way of the German attack. If possible, the German troops outflanked the flanks and would penetrate to the rear of the target to attack the enemy's weak points.

The people outside Tengteng'er soon discovered the German troops running towards them. The people screamed and fled back to the city. Several women covered in black clothes dropped the water tanks on their heads in panic. Qin Chuan seemed to see the clear water overflowing from the broken tanks and seeping into the sand.

This is a good phenomenon, which means that the enemy is not prepared, otherwise it should be gunshots at this time.

However, the actions of these people are not wise enough. In this case, they should stay outside the city... German soldiers will not waste bullets to shoot these people, and the city will soon become a battlefield.

As expected, the soldiers rushed into the city without any resistance... When they rushed in, the German soldiers found that there were British troops outside Tengteng'er, but they did not dare to shoot.

The number of British troops was small, almost like sentinels. They were obviously frightened by the sudden appearance of so many German troops, so they chose to raise their hands and surrender at the first time.

But it made no difference. The Germans shot them without hesitation... The Germans had no intention of taking prisoners, because they knew that there would be a fierce battle after occupying Tengetel. They were not even sure whether they could survive today, and of course they would not leave British prisoners to cause trouble for themselves.

Then the gunshots became more and more frequent. Some British prisoners found that surrendering could not save their lives, so they wanted to pick up their guns to resist, but the German bullets quickly knocked them to the ground.

Later, the Germans realized that this was actually wrong, because the gunshots alerted the British in Tengetel and prepared for battle, and they were more important.

Bazel thought the battle was almost over, so he ordered loudly: "Search every house, pull out and eliminate any British people you can find, any one!"

This is understandable. If the Germans want to garrison here and build a defense line, they must first ensure that there will be no enemies in the city to make trouble, otherwise the Germans will not only face two-sided attacks, but also internal and external attacks.

The troops searched and advanced along the streets, and everything went very smoothly. The British army was obviously not prepared, and they had no time to mix in with the people, so most of the houses were filled with people. All the German soldiers had to do was to pull them out and concentrate them in one place to control them.

Qin Chuan was a little afraid to look at those poor people, because he felt that he had no power to do so... smash the people's doors, then drive them out of their homes, and take their food and water for himself.

But this is war, Qin Chuan clearly knows that the homes of these people are destined to become ruins, because the German army chose this place as a battlefield, and it will become a place for the enemy and us to gamble.

This seems unfair to the Libyan residents. They did not offend the Germans or the British. They just wanted to live on this land, but they had no choice but to become victims of the struggle between the great powers.

At this moment, Kuhn, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand to signal the troops to stop. Qin Chuan noticed a sound of a motor coming from the opposite corner... It was not so obvious in the sound of gunfire and the shouts of the people.

In fact, this is related to the fact that Qin Chuan is used to the sound of car engines in modern times, and he did not regard the sound of the engine as a dangerous signal.

Later, I thought about it... In Tengtenger, the people could not have cars, and the German cars were behind, and the British army could not drive cars to fight, so there was only one possibility: it was a British tank.

"Spread out and hide!" Kuhn ordered loudly: "Tanks!"

At this time, Qin Chuan realized what was in front of him and hurriedly leaned aside.

Sure enough, a black tank gun barrel stretched out from the corner, and then a shell was fired with a "boom".

Qin Chuan could even feel the whirlwind and heat caused by the shells flying past him... This was a bit unimaginable. If it was played in slow motion, you could see a shell flying past Qin Chuan, less than one meter away from him, and then hitting a house several dozen meters away...

There was another loud bang, and the shell exploded, shooting out countless shrapnel and house debris. Qin Chuan saw that more than a dozen German soldiers behind him were buried in the collapsed house on the spot, and they disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant without even having time to shout.

Then Qin Chuan found that he was almost exposed to the tank firepower, and he quickly turned around, kicked open the door next to him, and rushed in...

Instantly, a scream came from the darkness of the room. Seven or eight people huddled together, mostly women and children. Among them, there was an adult man with a beard holding a kitchen knife... Yes, a kitchen knife!!!

Qin Chuan had no time to pay attention to them. He glanced at the furnishings in the room, then dragged the table to the wall with one hand holding a gun and the other hand, climbed onto the table with his hands and feet and looked out through the vent... Qin Chuan did not dare to look out of the window, because he knew that was the area that the enemy's machine guns and infantry focused on "taking care of".

Sure enough, several German soldiers stood on the window behind Qin Chuan and set up their guns, but before they could pull the trigger, a row of bullets "swooshed" in, and they immediately turned into corpses.

Because the vent was located at a high position, Qin Chuan could not see the enemy, which was one of the reasons why the enemy ignored it.

But the enemy didn't expect that the tank could be seen through the ventilation hole...

The Matilda tank was 2.5 meters tall, and Qin Chuan could clearly see the tank turret passing in front of him, and it would occasionally turn at an angle with a "click" sound.

Qin Chuan did not hesitate, pulled out the M24 grenade from his belt, ignited it, and threw it out of the ventilation hole.
