Three hundred and sixty first chapter tunnel defense (five)

But it is not easy to block multiple high grounds at the same time. This can even be said to be impossible, because there will always be several mortars in a hidden position that cannot be discovered for a while. What the German com-armed gunners need to do is to launch the shells at the fastest speed under the guidance of artillery observers and then hide back into the tunnel.

In other words, this is a highway that is also a retreat route, and it has been a semi-blocked state since then... At least the British troops passing by will be peeled.

It wasn't the worst, neither Colonel Bud nor Montgomery realized the danger of the tunnel fortifications to them at night...

There was a saying on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, that was, "Day belongs to the enemy, and the night belongs to the Volunteer Army!"

This means not only the enemy's equipment such as aircraft and tanks cannot play a role at night, but also when the volunteers come out of the tunnel to move.

Of course Qin Chuan would not miss this opportunity.

At one o'clock in the morning, when the British officers and soldiers were sleeping well, the German soldiers came out of the tunnel one by one... The first one was the scouts. They observed the situation outside and sent signals to other troops when they determined safety.

Soon, under the moonlight, there were people everywhere holding their rifles and covering their figures towards the top of the mountain.

At the same time, a few darkness emerged from the top of the mountain, and then more and more...

Several British sentinels were trembling in the cold wind. The temperature in the desert area was already low at night and the wind was strong on the high ground, which made the British army who were watching unable to adapt.

"This is damn weather!" a soldier complained: "I really hope I can make a fire and cook a cup of coffee!"

"Forget it, Tom!" Another soldier responded: "The German shells will blow us all into the sky!"

"Compared with shells, what I worry about is under my feet!" Tom replied: "These damn Germans...we have no choice but to them, aren't we?"

"At least we don't have to worry about this now. Most of their tunnel entrances were blown up by us!"

"I don't think so!" said Tom: "The last time, the people in the Third Infantry Battalion thought so, but they only had more than one hundred people alive!"

"This is not the same thing, we have built a line of defense..."

Before he could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly. Tom turned around and was shocked to find a black shadow covering his comrade's mouth, a sharp sting of military piercing into his neck and a stream of blood like a fountain was thrust out.

Tom was about to shout, but suddenly a big hand covered his mouth from behind, and then his heart ached... and then he struggled for a few times and then stopped moving again.

The one who dealt with these two British sentinels was the German scouts. They were professionally trained to know how to find the enemy sentinels, and then approached silently and killed them.

The scout waved to the darkness, and many dark shadows crawled out of the darkness, like ants, towards the top position and the back slope where the enemy was located. The rifle had been bayonetized and emitted a shining and lustful light under the faint moonlight.

Suddenly, a "bang" gunshot was obviously a scout who made a mistake and gave the British sentry a chance to shoot and warn.

Colonel Slain immediately stood up and shouted, "Soldiers, attack!"

"attack!"

...

The German soldiers shouted and got up from the ground and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

The British soldiers hurriedly got up from the trenches to prepare for the battle, but it was too late to react. Rows of grenades with blue smoke were thrown from the darkness. There was a burst of "boom" sound, and the British army in the trenches were blown to the point of falling.

The surviving British soldiers struggled to get up and try to resist, but before they could pick up their guns, a few bayonets nailed them to the ground without any hesitation.

In just a few minutes, the German soldiers captured the position on the top of the mountain. Most of the British infantry battalions stationed on it had fallen into a pool of blood before they could react. There were only more than 300 British troops who had quick reactions or had relatively low positions and had time to escape.

But it is just "temporary".

The German army did not stop after capturing the top of the mountain and continued to rush towards another incline with its rifle.

Colonel Boys, the commander of the 13th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Australian Infantry Division, hurried out from the tent, and when he saw the guard, he ordered loudly: "Flame!"

As soon as the flares were lifted up, the murderous German soldiers appeared in front of him, and the entire mountain was covered with darkness.

"God!" Boys called out, and then ordered: "Be ready for battle!"

"Colin!" A soldier soon replied: "The British are at the forefront!"

To be precise, it was the British deserters who blocked the young Australian army's vision... It should be said that the German army had already mixed with the British deserters in the dark, which made the Australian army afraid of being thrown into trouble.

The right choice for Boys was to order the shooting, otherwise the enemy would soon use the cover of British deserters to scatter the Australian positions.

But the problem is that these deserters were British and superior, and the Australian army could be said to be their servants. This psychological inferiority complex made Bois give an order that the soldiers felt incredible.

"Get a bayonet!" Bai Yis ordered.

He obviously wanted to fight hand-to-hand with the Germans.

"Colin!" a staff officer called out to express his doubts about Boys' order.

But the official did not let Colonel Boys change his mind. He made a loud and bold order, as if worried that the British officers and soldiers would not hear his shout: "Cover friendly troops to retreat, and do not let the enemy cross the line of defense!"

"Yes, sir!" Australian soldiers could only install bayonets on their rifles.

But war is war, and it will not change because of the pretentious behavior of an officer. With a burst of "rumble", a row of dense shells hit the Australian military's defense... It was the German melee weapon of 50MM mortar.

The round of shells hit the ground and made the Australian army wail. Before they could react, the German grenades passed over the British deserters and threw them into their positions.

Sadly, these Australian soldiers who were blown up by the Germans as soon as they started fighting still did not dare to shoot easily until now, because the British deserters in front of them were still...

It is conceivable that when the German army came up from behind, these Australian soldiers who were originally strong in combat had no power to fight back.

Qin Chuan did not take action in this battle.

He followed the German army far away with the soldiers from the French camp... Although the French camp received training and even won a victory, they were recruits after all.
