Chapter 14 Lines of Defense

Qin Chuan and his group cleaned up the enemies in Agdabiya, one by one, one by one.

The intensity of the battle is not high, but it is very dangerous because you will never know where a rifle suddenly pops up and shoots a bullet and takes your life, or a trap is set up in a building.

Qin Chuan and his comrades saw a terrible scene: Another squad of German soldiers searched for a house according to standard procedures. Like other troops, they threw a grenade through the window and rushed in to fight with the enemy... But shortly after they rushed in, they heard a "boom" sound, and the entire house collapsed in an explosion, and all the German soldiers were buried inside.

Seeing this, the baker was stunned at first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief with a gleeful expression.

Everyone knows what the baker means...the house should have been cleaned up by them, but the baker temporarily decided to rest and let everyone adjust the ammunition.

The so-called adjustment of ammunition means that some people used up their ammunition in the previous battle and some people still have any remaining ones. In order for everyone to play a role in the next battle without affecting their overall combat effectiveness, the ammunition needs to be counted and redistributed.

Qin Chuan counted and found that he had twenty-five bullets left... This made people a little worried because the amount of ammunition was not even enough to deal with an emergency.

But Qin Chuan soon discovered that the other riflemen had less ammunition left than him, and they had less than twenty rounds.

What surprised Qin Chuan was that the baker not only did not take the bullets from Qin Chuan, but instead gave him seven more rounds.

Looking at Qin Chuan's puzzled expression, the baker explained: "At any time, we don't want you to have bullets, and I don't think anyone else will have any objections to this!"

The baker guessed right, no one protested, even Paul was the same.

Because everyone knows very well that the more bullets Qin Chuan has in his hand, the safer everyone, otherwise... the next person who is afraid of death is himself.

After preparing for the battle again, everyone was thinking about a question: Where did the main force of the British army go? And the British tanks that were slow despite their thick armor?!

Although there have been several battles before, they are all small-scale battles, with only a few buildings captured and a dozen British troops... To be precise, they are Australian troops.

Qin Chuan did not realize this at first, because the Australians looked the same as the British and looked no different in uniforms, but the bakers recognized them as the Olijah troops.

"Look at this!" The baker took a button from a corpse and threw it to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan took it and saw it quickly... There is a map of Australia on the buttons.

"Apart from that!" said the baker: "They also wear the "Sunrise" badge on the lower left side of their top collar and hat. More importantly, the British army generally does not perform such dangerous tasks!"

"They are second-class citizens in the British army!" Werner smiled and said, "And the British are the best!"

Qin Chuan also felt it made sense.

Qin Chuan had been surprised before, how could the British fight with the Germans in such a bloody battle in buildings? Although this kind of battle is not very intense, it requires a tenacious fighting will!

In this era, Britain was called the "Empire of Sunless Setting" with colonies all over the world, which also means that they have a high status all over the world... A unit that is used to enjoying and "prestigious" will rarely fight the enemy face to face and persevere until the last moment.

However, if they were Australian troops, all this could be explained.

The bakers guessed correctly. They encountered Australian troops, whose number was the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 6th Australian Division. The task of the 2nd Infantry Regiment was to distribute it in Agdabi's buildings to create trouble for the enemy as much as possible and consume the enemy's vitality.

The British commander-in-chief of the Middle East, Wavell (Note: The British Eighth Army has not yet been formed at this time), had the idea that doing so could hinder the German offensive on the one hand, and on the other hand, it could also make the German army a tired army, and would be unable to attack when they reached the core, that is, the British defense line.

Weiville was obviously selfish in doing so, because he allowed the Australian army to fight almost for life against the enemy, while the British were waiting on the defense line for the arrival of the Germans and preparing to pick the fruits of victory.

But what if that is the case?

This era is an era where fists and strength represent everything. As a British colony, Australia is taken for granted by Britain.

Soon, Qin Chuan and others soon knew where the British were.

Just as the bakers were advancing step by step with their troops, the sound of cannons and gunfire in front suddenly became fierce.

Then I heard a communication soldier shouting at them: "Hurry up, I'm going to meet the enemy's main force ahead!"

The soldiers grabbed their weapons and equipment one after another and advanced along the path indicated by the correspondents.

Turn left and right on the cleaned street, and the sound of gunfire became louder and louder. Soon, they arrived at the forefront of the battlefield.

German tanks are launching an attack on the enemy's defense line, but unfortunately they are obviously unable to break through the enemy's defense line, because the wreckage of five tanks and hundreds of German corpses are piled up in front of the ruins of the building, and they all face the front with weapons.

Qin Chuan raised his sniper rifle and looked at the opposite side, and suddenly saw "Matildas" in the scope.

It is obvious that the British were building a line of defense with tanks. They hid the tanks in the building and exposed only the gun barrels or a small part of the turret and frontal armor for convenience of shooting. Behind the tanks are the infantry holding various weapons, and then the artillery is the ones.

"Why don't they use 88 anti-aircraft guns?" the baker asked in confusion.

After Qin Chuan commanded the 88 anti-aircraft gun to repel the British tanks, this thing has become a magical tool to deal with British tanks.

Qin Chuan looked at the opposite and around him and replied: "The 88 anti-aircraft gun may not work!"

"Yes!" Werner replied: "There are buildings everywhere here, and the 88 anti-aircraft gun must be close to the fire, which will make it the target of the enemy!"

This is very obvious. The reason why the 88 anti-aircraft gun can become a magic weapon for tank attacks is that it can easily penetrate the front armor of "Matilda" one kilometer away, but if it is blocked by the building, it must be pulled in front of the enemy tank... That is a problem of several shells for the enemy tank.
