Chapter 95 Small Victory

Qin Chuan wanted to pull out the bayonet, but he failed after two attempts, because the kneeling body would be dragged forward and backward by the bayonet.

The correct way should be to step on the body and then pull out the bayonet. Qin Chuan actually knew this in his heart, but he refused to do it subconsciously... He didn't know why, maybe because of the fear in his heart, or maybe because of an inexplicable sense of guilt, he didn't want to step on the body in front of him like firewood and then abandon it.

At that moment, Qin Chuan even wanted to throw away his rifle and everything.

Later, when Qin Chuan thought of this, he felt scared. This is a battlefield. Any hesitation or mistake may cost him his life, but at that moment Qin Chuan did both.

A British soldier rushed up with a bayonet at this time, aggressively, as if he wanted to avenge his comrades.

It was too late for Qin Chuan to pull out his bayonet, so he had to throw the rifle with the corpse towards the enemy... The butt of the rifle made an arc and fell heavily on the nose of the British soldier, blood splattered, and the British army's momentum slowed down.

Taking advantage of this moment, Qin Chuan pounced on the opponent and grabbed his neck tightly. In a flash, he saw another British soldier rushing up from the corner of his eye. Qin Chuan hurriedly hugged the British soldier and turned over to block himself...

Qin Chuan only felt that the British soldier on his body trembled violently as if he was surprised, and soon relaxed and stopped moving. This British soldier probably never thought that he would die under the bayonet of a friendly army.

The "murderer" who accidentally killed a friendly soldier did not hesitate at all. Although he knew that he had just accidentally killed his own people, he stepped on the corpse and pulled out the bayonet very quickly, and then planned to give Qin Chuan, who was lying on the ground and unable to fight back, another knife.

But at this moment, a bayonet stabbed into his neck with a "swipe" sound... Qin Chuan looked closely and found that it was Alfredo who saved him.

The submachine gun sounded again, and Werner and Keller had loaded the magazine in time.

However, the situation did not improve. After all, there was only one company of the German army rushing over, while the British army had at least one regiment. They rushed towards the German army from three directions continuously, like a tide, trying to drive the German army out and fill the gap.

At this time, Qin Chuan noticed an anti-tank grenade on the ground, which should have been dropped by the German soldiers in the hand-to-hand combat.

Without thinking too much, Qin Chuan picked up the anti-tank grenade, pulled out the safety pin, shouted "Get down" and threw the anti-tank grenade out.

With a loud bang, the grenade hit the engine at the rear of the tank, and at the same time, all the British soldiers who rushed up fell to the ground. However, they soon found that it was useless to lie on the ground, because the tank soon caught fire, and a ball of flames even spurted out from the rear, just like the flames from the tail of a rocket, and the flames burned more than a dozen British soldiers nearby into screaming firemen.

This was the second thing. These firemen were still running and jumping among the British troops. The British troops who were originally charging at full speed could only dodge, so they gave the German army a brief respite.

Then Werner followed suit, grabbed an anti-tank grenade and threw it at the "Crusader" tank in the other direction. With another "bang", the tank caught fire without any surprise.

The engine and fuel tank of the tank are generally rear-mounted, and most tanks of this era use gasoline. It would be strange if they did not catch fire once they were blown through.

When Qin Chuan and others rushed into the enemy camp and fought desperately with the British army, the German army on the other side was stunned, including Colonel Olbridge, the front-line commander. He couldn't understand why the defense line composed of British tanks and soldiers was so easily broken by infantry, and these tanks were new tanks he had never seen before.

Not only that, those infantrymen killed the British army with the strength of a company and then blew up two... no, three tanks.

Because just when Colonel Olbridge was surprised, another British tank turned into a ball of fire with an explosion.

"Colonel!" The adjutant asked beside him: "I have checked, that is the troops of the second company of the first battalion, the company commander is Captain Barzel, do you need me to call them back?"

Colonel Olbrich was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a complicated expression: "No, we should let all the troops rush up like them!"

In fact, there was no need for Colonel Olbrich to say anything. The next moment, the German troops along the entire line of defense launched an attack on the British army... To be precise, it was the infantry. Their attack method was similar to Barzel's. They fired a row of smoke bombs in the middle, and then launched a charge under the cover of 50MM mortars.

After such a charge, the German soldiers found that the enemy tanks were like a stone and posed no threat to them. If there was any use, it was to build a steel defense line in front of the British army in name only.

The British defense line collapsed quickly. After realizing that they were doomed to fail, the British infantry behind the tanks abandoned the tanks and retreated like a tide, leaving the "Crusader" tanks standing there, not knowing what to do... Several "Crusaders" tried to turn around and escape with their speed advantage, but were quickly destroyed by the Germans.

Without infantry cover, tanks have blind spots everywhere, especially cruiser tanks like the "Crusader" without a heading machine gun, which are even more difficult to resist infantry attacks, not to mention the German "Panzer III" tanks on the opposite side.

Not long after, the remaining "Crusader" tanks could only open their hatches and raise their hands in surrender. They were worried that the Germans would target them if they surrendered too late. They even waved white flags that they had found from nowhere.

At the last count, there were 26 tanks that surrendered. You should know that the British "Crusader" tanks only had 50 tanks in total, which means that there were more tanks that surrendered than those that were damaged.

Qin Chuan was under pressure. The British troops that had been rushing towards them like a tide suddenly disappeared. Qin Chuan and his comrades did not believe it for a while, until they saw the German soldiers rushing from both sides and cheered.

"We won, Sergeant!" Werner hugged Qin Chuan: "I can't believe it, we really won!"

"I thought we were definitely finished this time!" The baker also joined in: "But Sergeant Frick, you saved us again, saved all of us!"

"I... I..." Keller was so excited that he couldn't speak as usual.

"Forget it, Keller!" Werner laughed, "You just need to shout it out!"

Keller really shouted to the sky.

"Good advice, Sergeant!" Bazel patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder: "It turns out that you are right again, but the battle is not over yet, and it is not time to celebrate yet!"

"Yes, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied.
