The British and Indian troops had only one infantry battalion in the garrison of Roa Isat Ridge.

The reason why there is only one infantry battalion is because the Alamaic defense line is 55 kilometers, and the British army is slightly insufficient at this time, especially the defense line set up by General Ochinlek is still sunken to the mountain... This makes the actual defense line exceed 55 kilometers, so the military strength is even more insignificant.

It is precisely because of this that some unimportant areas on the defense line are even replaced by African troops formed in Egypt.

On the other hand, it is because the Ruwai Sat Ridge is a mountain ridge, which has the advantage of being conquered, but at the same time it also has the disadvantage of not having too many troops on the top of the mountain. Too many troops will lead to too many people, and it is easy to cause a large number of casualties when covered by enemy artillery fire.

Major John, who was in charge of the defense of Roa Isat Ridge, was a veteran who participated in World War I.

Danfan's veterans who participated in World War I all have a characteristic. They have a lot of experience in building fortifications... They fought trench warfare in World War I, so the officers and soldiers who experienced World War I may not be good soldiers, but they will definitely be good people in civil fortifications.

Major John was no exception, he laid the defenses of Roysat Ridge into three paths.

These three lines of defense are at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain, with two platoons, one company and two companies in turn.

This is a very reasonable arrangement. It provides the British and Indian army with a defensive depth while also enhancing the British and Indian army's firepower... The three defense lines in stairs form natural firepower superposition due to the height difference of the mountains. The German attack on the first defense line will be subject to firepower attacks from the British army's three defense lines at the same time.

Just like now, although the German army had tank support and fire cover, the British machine gun bullets poured from above their heads from a high point. In addition, there were mortar shells, which caused the German army to launch several attacks but failed to break through the defense line and even lost three tanks.

Objectively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the 4th Infantry Division of India is quite good.

This does not mean that Indian soldiers obey orders or are not afraid of life and death... Although it seems that the same is true, the nature is different.

It is not wrong to obey orders, but the British officers will do whatever they say.

But this is not really obeying orders.

On the surface, it seems that this is a kind of "slavery" when a deeper analysis... Indians believe in Hinduism. The essence of Hinduism is a religion created by the Aryans invaded India to better enslave the Indian people. It divides people into high castes and low castes. High castes can treat low castes at will... Until modern times, India still has the fact that low castes are cut off their palms when they pick up a few leaves in the vegetable field to show punishment. What's even more terrifying is that Indians think this is normal.

On the other hand, the upper castes are often white, while the British are white, and the British colonize India with strong force, which makes Indians naturally treat the British as high castes, so they obey the slavery and control of the colonists without any disagreement and even take pride in their "loyalty".

It is true that the resistance of Indian soldiers is much more tenacious than that of the British army. There are even many Indian soldiers holding cluster grenades and approaching German tanks to conduct close-range blasting... This kind of combat method is unimaginable for the British army.

But is this a heroic act?

Hinduism promotes a spirit of the afterlife... that is, you will enjoy happiness in this life if you suffer in the next life.

So many Indian soldiers, under the influence of this spirit, rushed towards the German tanks with the idea of ​​enjoying their next life with grenades.

So this is not bravery, but a kind of ignorance.

From this we can see how cunning the Aryans were back then. They established a complete religious system to put them on the Indians. They not only successfully enslaved the Indians in the contemporary era, but also allowed this system to continue from generation to generation until modern times, and will continue in the visible future...

There is a saying that is very suitable for Indians: it is easy to break the physical shackles, but it is difficult to break the spiritual shackles.

Finally, when eight tanks rushed up at the same time, Qin Chuan and German soldiers used mortars, grenades and bayonets to capture the first line of defense.

When the German soldiers saw the bodies of only fifty Indian soldiers in the trenches, they felt a little frustrated because the results of the battle were somewhat disproportionate to the price and time they paid.

"Continue to move forward!" Bazel, who was red in his eyes, shouted loudly. The tank stopped for a moment and led the soldiers to rush towards the second line of defense of the British army.

There are flares that emit dazzling light everywhere in the sky, and there are shells that come and go from both sides. The sparks of bullets flash in the dark, like the light emitted by a fireflies, but with the sparks comes, there are bullets that roar and emit hot steam, and these bullets will kill you at any time.

"Captain!" At this time, a communications soldier shouted at Bazel: "The Colonel ordered us to retreat!"

"What? What did you say?" Bazel couldn't believe his ears. At this time, it was the time to break through the enemy's defense line in one go, so how could he retreat?

"The Colonel ordered us to retreat!" The communications soldier repeated the order.

German soldiers, including Qin Chuan, were all relieved when they heard this order... They had almost reached the limit of their physical strength. Although they knew that retreating now would be like wasting all their efforts, who could still care about so much!

"Retreat!" Bazel gave the order in a furious manner.

The soldiers stumbled back, and Qin Chuan felt like he was like a piece of wood. Even though there were constant sounds of gunfire and cannons behind him, he had no idea to avoid him... He no longer had the extra strength to dodge.

Fortunately, the British army could not see the target in the night, and there were tanks following behind to block the bullets, so Qin Chuan finally returned to the hidden place of the car safely.

When he was about to get on the car, he felt his feet weak and he collapsed on the ground. Several soldiers hurriedly pushed him into the car, and then the car started with a loud "roar".

At that moment, Qin Chuan suddenly realized that the car car he had hated before was so cute, like a warm and safe home.

"Why retreat?" Kuhn asked the driver.

"I'm not sure!" the driver replied: "I heard that an enemy's armored force appeared on our flank!"

The shadow of the "Stright" tank flashed quickly in Qin Chuan's mind.

Ochinlek became smarter and knew that at this time, he could not defend the defense line but should use attack instead of defense. Or it could be said that Ochinlek was better at this kind of defensive battle with unthreatening logistics supplies, so his performance was completely different from before.

Now...what should the German army do?

Qin Chuan looked at the Alamein defense line where the sound of cannons was still ringing in the distance, and then looked at the sky that was already dark...
