Chapter 179 Dilseyin

"They are using tanks to demine mines!" a famous Indian soldier shouted.

"This is impossible!" This view was quickly refuted by British officers: "We have anti-tank mines, and their tanks cannot demine mines like this!"

It was not until a "mine-sweeping tank" was blown off by an anti-tank mine that British officers completely saw what "monster" was in the minefield.

The "mine-sweeping tank" was too impatient. According to the process, if an anti-tank mine was detonated, it should stop and check the iron chain. If the iron chain is blown up, it should be replenished in time.

But the driver was sweeping mines and sweeping, and continued to move forward even though an anti-tank mine had been detonated. As a result, an anti-tank mine leaked from the chain, and then a "boom" sound... Fortunately, this one was an anti-track mine instead of an anti-chassis mine, otherwise it would be more than just blowing up the cover.

"Damn, what is that?!" The British officer looked at the thing that appeared in the telescope aperture in disbelief, and then screamed: "Quick, report to the command center, the Germans invented a new weapon, which can clear mines!"

General Ochinlek was stunned when he heard the news.

"New weapons? Can mines be swept?" General Ochinlek asked.

"Yes, General!" Major General Ritchie replied: "I heard that the mine sweeping speed is very fast!"

"How fast?" General Ochinlek asked again.

"They didn't say it!" Major General Rich replied: "But they said that if the Germans were not stopped, the Germans would be able to pass the minefield in half an hour!"

General Ochinlek's face changed. Dilseyin is different from Rouysat Ridge... Rouysat Ridge is not suitable for tank combat, and even the Germans can rely on the terrain to block the Indian division through the minefield.

But Dilseyin is a flat village, and the backbone of its defense is mines plus troops and artillery, which is the main force of the 4th Infantry Division of India.

But now... the mines have become a paper wall, and their forces and artillery have been transferred to the direction of Roaishat Ridge by General Ochinlek.

Only then did General Ochinlek realize that he was fooled by the German again.

"Transfer the 5th Artillery Regiment toward Dilseyin immediately!" Ochinlek ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

The 5th Artillery Regiment is the M7 "Pastor" self-propelled artillery regiment. It is a rapid response force in the artillery, and only they can reinforce Dilseyin in time.

But in fact it was too late. The reason was that the German army's mine-sweeping speed was much faster than the British imagined, because soon after, the German infantry also actively participated in the mine-sweeping... They threw grenades forward behind the tank, and there were 50MM mortars. Although these could not sweep the mines, they could greatly reduce the pressure on the "mine-sweeping tank" so that they did not need to replace the iron chains too complicated.

So before the 5th British Artillery Regiment arrived, the German "No. 3" tank rushed into the defense line of the Indian Fourth Infantry Division with German soldiers like hungry wolf and tigers.

Almost the moment the tank broke into the Indian army's defense line, the Indian army collapsed. Even British officers waved their pistols and shouted at them loudly... Things like obedience and enjoying happiness in the next life disappeared at this moment, and the only thing left was the instinct to escape.

And, who can say that this is not brought by religion?

Everything has its pros and cons. Under the influence of religion, Indians are "loyalty", "obedience" and "brave" to Britain, but it is religion that has found an excuse for the Indians to escape... Isn't defeat a God's will? We escape not because we are timid, but because of fate! All of this is arranged by God, so how can we fight against God?

This is also one of the reasons why Indians are lazy... If everything is arranged by God, no matter how hard they try, they cannot change their destiny. Even if they change their destiny through hard work, they will suffer again in the next life.

So...why not lie on the side of the road and sleep?

Because of this, after India's independence, its army's combat effectiveness was not as good as that during the colonial period.

During World War II, the Indian army was commanded by British officers. Although these British officers were seriously bureaucratic and arrogant towards the Indian soldiers, they at least knew how to fight and maintain military discipline.

After India's independence, all these British officers withdrew from the Indian high caste to command the battle... They did not regard low caste soldiers as humans, and they did not have much strategy and had a lot of tactical knowledge.

Qin Chuan knew that this war actually had little to do with India. They were just colonized by Britain. In addition, they were not willing to be slaves to the British, so they put guns on their backs here and became cannon fodder.

But Qin Chuan couldn't care so much... As long as he stood on the opposite side and had a gun in his hand, he was the enemy and should be killed, no matter what the reason was.

This is war.

So, Qin Chuan raised his gun and pulled the trigger again and again, and shot the bullet into the back of the Indian soldiers. Some of them did not even wear helmets but wrapped a hat on their heads with a very bright red turban... Indians liked bright colors, but this would only make them targets on the battlefield.

Gunshots and explosions continued, and even the "mine-sweeping tank" rushed forward... At this time, the "mine-sweeping tank" was no longer a mine-sweeping tank, and after breaking through the minefield, the "mine-sweeping tank" lost its function.

Of course, just in case there are still several "mine-sweeping tanks" that did not participate in the battle.

In other words, turn the turret and simply leave the conveyor belt off, transforming it into a standard "No. 3" tank to join the battle.

The Indian army itself is far inferior to the British army in terms of equipment... If the British army is a top-class army, the Indian army can only be considered a third-class army at most, because there are also two armies in the middle of Australia and New Zealand, which are the same language and race as the British.

This made most of the Indian anti-tank troops equipped with 2-pound anti-tanks eliminated by the British... This thing fires fast, but it is impossible to penetrate the front armor of the "No. 3" tank.

A group of Indian soldiers overestimated their abilities and tried to stop the German attack, but the Germans were bombarded into the sky... These guns were not even attacked by German tanks.

Indian soldiers are confused. They rarely calculate how much the anti-tank gun has and how deep the depth is, or what weapons the enemy equips with will pose a threat to themselves.
