Chapter 91 Charge

"We must block them!" Bazer shouted after a destroyed tank: "We'll be finished if they rushed up!"

"But what can we do?" Kuhn replied loudly: "With our rifle?"

Bazel didn't answer because he didn't know the answer.

"Captain!" Qin Chuan shouted at this time: "I don't think we should block them, but rush forward!"

"What?" Bazel thought he had heard it wrong: "Are you crazy? They have more tanks than us, and they are more advanced than our tanks!"

Bazer was right. Although both sides of the enemy and us had fifty tanks at the beginning, it was clear which one wins and who would lose in the previous battles... The British army destroyed more than ten German tanks, but the German army destroyed only three British tanks.

"It is precisely because of this that we have to rush up!" Qin Chuan shouted: "We need melee and melee, we have more infantry than them... we have only this choice!"

In fact, Qin Chuan had many reasons, but now the war situation is urgent and he cannot be explained clearly one by one.

"Captain!" Kuhn said to Bazel: "Captain, I think we should try Sergeant Flick's suggestion, because if this continues, it will be a dead end!"

"Surrive up, Captain!" Werner poked out with a submachine gun and fired a few bullets. After retracting, he said to Bazel: "We would rather be killed by bullets or shells than death under the tracks of enemy tanks!"

"But... what can I do?" Bazel said: "I'm just an infantry captain, and I can't command these damn tanks!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers turned their attention to Qin Chuan again.

Bazel was right, and now is not the time to make suggestions... Because if you make suggestions, you must first contact Colonel Slain, and then Colonel Slain will convince Colonel Albridge again. Even if Colonel Albridge accepts Colonel Slain's suggestion... At that time, I was afraid that the battle had already been decided and could not make it possible to make the situation go.

"Captain!" Qin Chuan replied: "What I mean by rushing up refers to us, not tanks!"

"We?" Bazel looked at Qin Chuan with an incredible expression: "Sergeant, are you saying we charge towards the enemy tank without the cover of tanks? Are you crazy?!"

"Yes, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied: "That's what I think!"

"Give me a reason!" Bazer said with a gloomy face.

If it weren't for Qin Chuan's previous suggestions that had been proven to be correct, Bazer wouldn't bother to pay attention to what Qin Chuan said.

"The enemy's tanks are aiming at our tanks!" Qin Chuan replied: "That is to say, their gun bore is armour piercing bombs rather than high-explosive bombs, so the enemy's tanks actually do not pose a threat to us... Is this reason enough?"

Upon hearing this, Bazer was stunned. Qin Chuan seemed to be saying something.

What Bazer didn't know was that... British cruisers usually rarely or even do not carry "high-explosion bombs" or "high-explosion armor-piercing bombs".

As mentioned earlier, the British army's development in this regard was not successful. What's more, the British senior executives also believed that infantry tanks were used to support infantry against enemy infantry, and cruise tanks were used to deal with enemy tanks in mobile combat. Therefore, most cruise tanks like the "Crusader" carried armor-piercing bombs against tanks.

This is also a directional mistake in the development of tanks by the British. They divided tanks into "infantry tanks" and "cruising tanks" based on actual needs of the battlefield.

Their idea actually has some truth. As the saying goes, "there is a specialty in technology", the tank is drawn more finely and specifically used to deal with specific goals... Can't that exert greater power?

But the battlefield is reality, and reality and imagination are often contrary to each other... In actual combat, most enemies will mix tanks and infantry together to fight together, and most tanks will have to face infantry and tanks.

As the British senior executives imagined, there was basically no situation where they only had to face the enemy's single army.

So this will lead to a problem. The "Crusader" tank guns are basically ineffective against infantry, which means that it is actually a paper tiger that looks quite scary but is actually unable to effectively kill infantry.

The German army was not familiar with the performance of the "Crusader" tank, because this was the first time that the British army had put the "Crusader" tank into actual combat. Before that, the German army had never heard of this cruise tank that could even drive up to 64 yards after the speed limit was raised.

(Note: The "Crusader" tank began production in early 1940 and was first put into North Africa's "Operation Tomahawk" combat against Rommel for the first time)

But Qin Chuan knew the advantages and disadvantages of this tank very well, so he knew that launching a charge was probably the only way for the German army to survive.

"But... are we the only company rushing up?" said the baker: "There are British infantry behind the enemy tank!"

"Contact Colonel Slain!" said Werner: "He will agree!"

"No..." Bazel said: "He may not agree with this crazy idea, and it is too late now!"

Bazel was right, because three more German tanks were destroyed by the British as they spoke.

"We are the only company!" Qin Chuan shouted: "When other teams see that we have successfully broken through the defense line, they will do it!"

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this.

Qin Chuan was right, other German soldiers were not fools. If they saw this approach feasible, they would follow up... After all, this was the only way to survive, and even officers would realize this and make a quick decision.

but……

What if it fails?

What if other troops do not follow up?

just in case……

There is not so much in the battlefield, it sometimes requires soldiers to gamble with their lives!

After a while, Kuhn, who couldn't wait, shouted at Bazel: "Captain, what is your order?"

Bazel gritted his teeth and replied, "I decided to do it as Sgt. Although I think it must be crazy to do it, any attempt is worth a try, right?"

"Yes, Captain!" Werner agreed.

Bazer's words are of course correct. Although the possibility of success in the soldiers' eyes of this suggestion is extremely low, any attempt is worth a try under the premise of death.

"Then... be prepared for the offensive!" Bazel ordered: "Bring a few more anti-tank grenades!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded.
