Chapter 42 Gasoline

The fighting intentions of both the enemy and us are very obvious:

The German army hoped to retreat to the city and rely on the cover of buildings to block the British tank torrent... Just as the German army easily defeated the British tank troops in the city and even captured more than a dozen tanks.

The British army saw through the German army's intentions, so they adopted the tactic of "taking every step and taking steady steps".

Simply put, it is the British army that it is inappropriate to rush into the city to hunt down the German army... This doesn't work and there is no need to do it.

It doesn't work because tanks are not suitable for street combat. As mentioned earlier, street combat limits the combat effectiveness of tanks but makes it easier for enemy infantry to get closer to tanks and blow up tanks. The enemy can even throw anti-tank grenades down the roof of the building to blow up the tanks passing by.

There is no need for it, the British army is not in a hurry to eliminate the German army stationed in Tengger.

This does not mean that Tenger Tenger is not important to the British army, but that the British army thought they had already won, so they were not in a hurry.

So the British army demolished buildings one by one, bombarded with guns, bombed with explosives, pushed with tanks... and bombed all the buildings in front of them, bombed and shoved.

In this way, they no longer need to enter the city to fight the German army.

In fact, Tenger Tenger was already in ruins at that time, and there were no "allies" at all, so there would naturally be no "allies".

This made Qin Chuan and others safely escape from the British attack range despite a rain of bullets behind them... The British army was more interested in "forced demolition" in the back rather than chasing them.

Of course, this "safety" is only temporary. As the British front moves forward, the Germans' survival space will become smaller and smaller, and will undoubtedly be annihilated in the end.

"Colin!" The adjutant, who was covered in darkness by the smoke of gunpowder, ran deep and shallow from the ruins to Colonel Kolein, and said, "We cannot stop them from moving forward, let's break through!"

"Breakthrough?" Colonel Kolein smiled bitterly, "Lucas, where can we break through?"

The adjutant was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood: "We will be caught up and annihilated by the British, right?"

"Of course!" Colonel Kolein replied: "Although the British tanks were very slow, we should know that this was a desert and we had no place to hide. When we broke through, the British planes would bombard us indiscriminately, and then their tanks and troops would catch up and surround us, and then they would easily defeat us like a hammer smashing an egg!"

"But, colonel..." said the adjutant: "Can you not be annihilated by staying here? Our artillery has been blown up by British bombers, but their tanks are advancing step by step!"

Colonel Kolein didn't speak because he didn't know how to get rid of the predicament in front of him.

Now... it seems that there is only one thing to wait for the miracle to appear.

Not only Kolein and his adjutant were bothered by this issue, but also Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was unwilling to fail like this.

This is not because Qin Chuan has extraordinary courage and perseverance, he just doesn't want to die... On the battlefield, another meaning of failure is death.

Therefore, in order to survive, Qin Chuan must win this battle.

In this regard, Qin Chuan, like Alphredo, is afraid of death. It’s just that Alphredo is waiting for the arrangement of fate, while Qin Chuan is trying to keep himself alive.

But what can stop the steel monsters outside the city?

Anti-tank guns, anti-tank grenades, explosive packs... everything seems to be ineffective.

Just when Qin Chuan was worried, an aviation bomb fell from the sky with a whistling sound. The bomb hit a car full of gasoline. The car instantly turned into a dazzling ball of flames. Some gasoline barrels were blown up high, fell to a distance and then exploded again... This made the Germans very embarrassed. They all lowered their bodies to avoid the splashing gasoline and flames.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration: Why don't you use gasoline to stop those tanks?!

Thinking of this, he hugged his waist and ran to Bazel, who was commanding several German soldiers to put out the fire, shouting: "Captain, can I give me some advice?"

"Your advice would be as useful as you last blow up a building and break through the enemy's defense, Sgt.!" Bazer turned to a team of German soldiers and shouted, "Hey, you... go there and put out the fire, otherwise the flames will burn our ammunition depot!"

"Yes, Captain!" Qin Chuan followed Bazer and said, "Although I'm not sure, I think I can try..."

"What to try?" Bazel asked absent-mindedly.

"We can try to blow up the British tanks with gasoline barrels!" Qin Chuan replied.

Bazel was stunned when he heard this, then turned his head and looked at Qin Chuan in disbelief: "Sergeant, do you mean, you have a way to blow up the British tanks? Use gasoline?"

"I think so, Captain!" Qin Chuan nodded.

"How?" said Bazel. "You don't want to push gasoline in front of the British, it will only burn ourselves!"

"Of course not, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied: "You know, the British demolished the houses one after another!"

"Yes, but is there any problem with this?"

"So..." Qin Chuan said: "Why don't we pile gasoline in the house and wait for the British to come up?"

Upon hearing this, Bazel was stunned, and then nodded halfway, "That's right, Sgt....We can pile gasoline in the house and wait for them, and all we need to do is to ignite the gasoline at the right time!"

"Yes, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied: "You know, we have a lot of gasoline... The gasoline in the underground warehouse is enough for us to ignite the whole Tenger Tenger!"

Qin Chuan talked about the underground warehouses seized by the German army from the British army, which were fuel prepared by the British army for their tanks and cars.

"Also!" Qin Chuan added: "The British tanks use gasoline engines, and they are easily ignited..."

"Yes, Sgt., that's a good advice!" said Bazel. "I mean, I must report to the Colonel right away..."

"No, Captain!" Qin Chuan said: "We must act immediately because we don't know the colonel's location. When we find the colonel and make a decision, it's too late!"

This was caused by British bombing, and the regiment headquarters had been moved to somewhere in Tenger Tentel, and it was not easy for Bazer to find him as a captain.
