Chapter 436 Captive
Tanks and infantrymen drove along the street toward the port.
Then the German soldiers saw a line of defense, which was still a line of defense built by sandbags, but this time it was defended by someone, which could be seen from the muzzles protruding from the sandbags and the helmets that only exposed the top.
Then someone shouted in English: "They are here!"'
But before he finished speaking, the tank gun adjusted the angle of the muzzle amid a sound, and then with a "boom", the defense line exploded with a large gap.
The British soldiers dared not resist. Some raised their hands to surrender on the spot, while others fled behind the screams of their comrades.
Then, the tank drove up "crackly". When it reached the bottom of the street, it suddenly became wide open. What we saw was a cluster of British soldiers crowded at the dock, crowded with people. On the other end of the dock were more than a dozen landing craft. Obviously, the British fleet planned to use these transport boats to save some, so they could save some.
When the British soldiers saw the German tanks appear in front of them, they became panicked. Some of the previous ones who must not be able to escape, raised their hands to surrender. The British soldiers at the dock thought they still had hope of escaping and wanted to get on the boat. As soon as they pushed and shoved, many people fell into the sea.
The tank was aimed at the landing craft without hesitation and fired a shell. Although it exploded in the sea without hitting, it scared the landing craft and rushed into the sea... Some British soldiers climbed on the landing craft but did not stand firmly, and fell a lot.
But no one of these landing crafts escaped back, because Italian fighter jets quickly dived down and fired a row of bullets, which made one of the landing crafts bright red on the spot. Perhaps the driver was killed, and the landing craft drew an arc on the sea and knocked back to the dock at high speed. With a "boom", a scream came from the dock.
An Italian bomber dropped a bomb. Although the bomb failed to blow up the landing craft, the huge waves raised overturned it. Then another fighter jet "dada" fired two rows of bullets downwards... The bullets stirred up two high water lines in the sea water. A dozen British soldiers were knocked down in a pool of blood, and bright reds suddenly appeared in the sea water.
But the British Navy several miles away... they were powerless to do anything about it.
They didn't even dare to use anti-aircraft guns to shoot at Italian fighter jets, because as we all know, if the anti-aircraft gun angle is less than 45 degrees, the shells are likely to explode on the ground, and the result will kill a large number of British soldiers gathered at the port.
Soon, German tanks poured out from several street intersections one after another, and they completely surrounded the port.
Colonel Slain raised his little trumpet and shouted at the British soldiers with great enthusiasm: "I'm glad to meet you, soldiers of the 15th Infantry Division! I think any resistance is meaningless. What do you think? Or do you still want to try it?"
Of course, the British army understood what Colonel Slain meant, so thousands of British soldiers raised their hands one after another.
The First Infantry Regiment was not interested in receiving prisoners, because for troops like the First Infantry Regiment that are used to fighting in the desert, each prisoner is a mouth for eating and drinking water. Not only does it have no effect, it also consumes a large number of precious supplies.
The Goering Division was a new force. They had no shadow in this regard. At the same time, they needed military achievements, so they happily organized and contained prisoners of war.
Qin Chuan, Colonel Slein and others went to open the doors of warehouses. When they saw the British canned beef, canned fruits, etc., they cheered, and then moved to the car without saying a word, such as cigarettes, chocolates, beer, etc., and everything they ate was moved to the car. The stuffed car was not enough. The buttons of the clothes were unbuttoned and stuffed inside. Some people even moved to eat them while they were eating. The wolf was swallowed, which made the others laugh.
It’s not that the soldiers are short-sighted, but that the soldiers eat bread every day and the smell of birds fades out of their mouths.
Moreover, other supplies, such as piles of shells and bullets, were of little use to the German army. If there was any use, it would be used to transport them to guerrillas.
The most useful thing is fuel. Although Algeria has dug up oil, no matter how much this thing is, it is not too much, not to mention that Algeria will not produce gasoline for a while.
After stuffing a chocolate into his mouth and enjoying its slightly bitter sweetness, Qin Chuan felt that his fatigue was relieved.
He found a seat by the beach and sat down silently at the British Navy that was gradually moving away... They were worried that they would be bombed by German and Italian aircraft groups again, after all, the air supremacy in this area no longer belonged to them at this time.
"Captain!" Colonel Slain sat next to Qin Chuan and sighed: "Your plan has succeeded again!"
"It's just luck!" Qin Chuan replied: "We need it very much!"
"Yes!" Colonel Slain nodded.
He understood what Qin Chuan said. Even though the German army won the war, the Allies were still much stronger than the German army, and there was still a long way to go to defeat them.
"Where are the rest of the British and Americans?" Colonel Slain asked: "I mean, the Third American Division, and the British army in the direction of Catania!"
Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "It's hard for us to capture them, or... it takes a very heavy price to capture them!"
"Just like the United States did at the beachhead!" Colonel Slain agreed.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "They have sufficient ammunition and have the right to control the sea. The right to control the air will soon return to their hands... I mean, the British will transfer the North African air wing to Malta Island. In this way, the British can build a line of defense similar to the US beachhead in the Catania Plain. Any troops close to this line of defense must first pass the level of naval guns, fighter jets and bombers!"
"Then..." Slain said: "They can rescue the soldiers in batches through landing crafts, lifeboats!"
Qin Chuan nodded: "But tanks, cars, armored vehicles... these things must be left behind!"
"Of course they'll blow up these things!" said Colonel Slain: "Just like they did on the African battlefield!"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan quipped: "The British are already very experienced in this area!"
