Chapter 71 Victory

Finally, the flare went out.

At the moment when the flare went out, the British officer turned the steering wheel and tried to leave the battlefield... He knew that the human eye has "light adaptation" and "dark adaptation".

That is to say, it takes a while to adapt from a dark place to a bright place. Similarly, it also takes a while to adapt from a bright place to a dark place... During these few seconds of adaptation, you can hardly see anything.

Qin Chuan only had these few seconds to kill the officer, otherwise the target might escape into the darkness and never be found again.

One second, two seconds...

Then with a "bang" sound, Qin Chuan pulled the trigger.

In fact, Qin Chuan still didn't see the target, but he saw the white smoke emitted from the armored vehicle's exhaust pipe... The temperature in the early morning was below zero, and the seaside was also very humid, so the white smoke was very obvious under the starlight.

Qin Chuan fired based on this cloud of white smoke... It was a Beaverette light armored reconnaissance vehicle. Qin Chuan was familiar with it and knew that its exhaust pipe was on the lower right side, and about ten centimeters to the side was the right rear wheel. .

The bullet hit the right rear wheel, and a muffled sound like a mortar shell was heard faintly in the darkness, followed by a violent impact. Obviously, when the British officer turned the steering wheel sharply to the right, the right tire suddenly burst, which would inevitably cause the car to roll over and roll several times.

Sure enough, when the flares came on again, Qin Chuan saw an armored vehicle overturned on one end, with one side touching the ground and the other two wheels spinning in the air. Looking around again, the British officer was thrown to a position more than ten meters away and was lying on his back. He was trying to get up with blood spurting from his mouth.

"Remember to wear your seat belt next time, you scum!" With that said, Qin Chuan pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit the target between the eyebrows, and a stream of steaming blood spurted out from the other end of the head. Then the British officer's head fell heavily to the ground. It shook under the influence of inertia and stopped moving.

The tank continued to move forward.

The tank crew inside seemed to be aware of what was happening outside, but they did not dare to open the hatch to take a look because they were worried that doing so would close their eyes forever. At the same time, they did not dare to stop the tank because they were not sure whether there was an enemy. They were chasing behind them with anti-tank grenades... So they could only let the tanks continue to move forward, not knowing what to do next.

In fact, they are completely free to move, because the cruise ship has returned to the main battlefield again, that is, in front of Major William.

At this moment, Major William's heart collapsed, because he knew that his two squads had been completely annihilated.

To say "thoroughly" may be an exaggeration, because Major William heard the "rumble" of tanks in both directions, but he felt that the only ones left might be tanks...but in this case, these tanks were It's of no use at all.

Major William looked around him and saw that his own part was not much better. There were only about 80 people left in the 150-man troop, and all of them were injured.

What's more important is that all Major William can see in their eyes is fear. Major William is aware... They have lost this battle.

"Major!" At this time, the signal soldier handed the walkie-talkie to Major William: "It's Major General Evans!"

"Major!" Major General Evans asked on the walkie-talkie: "How is the plan going? Has the port been captured?"

"No, General!" Major William replied bitterly.

"Hurry up!" Major General Evans said with a reproachful tone: "We can't delay any longer. It will be dark soon. We must fight quickly, otherwise the warehouse will be in danger of being blown up by them..."

"General!" Major William interrupted Major General Evans and said, "We failed!"

"What? Failure?" Major General Evans could hardly believe his ears.

"Yes, we failed!" Major William replied feebly: "We only have eighty-five people left, including me... My troops were scattered by them!"

"This is impossible!" Major General Evans said: "We are attacking their frontal defense line with all our strength. It is impossible for them to send reinforcements..."

"They have no reinforcements!"

"Then please tell me, how did a German infantry company defeat you? Major! You have absolute superiority in troops and equipment, as well as the expectations of all of us!"

"I know!" Major William replied: "But they have a cruise ship!"

"Cruise?"

"Yes!" Major William said: "They are defending on the cruise ship. On the sea, we have nothing to do with them. We can only bear their bullets and shells like targets on the shore. Most of my men are dead. Major General ! You think we want this?"

As he spoke, Major William hung up the phone with a snap and cursed: "These bastards!"

"Major!" asked one of the soldiers. "What do we do now?"

"We should call back those tanks!" Major William said, "Then build a line of defense..."

Before he finished speaking, a bullet hit Major William's head with a "bang" sound. Major William was shocked like an electric shock, and then fell straight to the ground.

Qin Chuan had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He had not noticed this officer before because he was dressed like other British soldiers until he hid behind an armored vehicle and made a phone call.

The person who will talk to his superiors at this time is most likely the top commander of this unit.

Qin Chuan certainly knew his value. He could be said to be the last bit of cohesion of this unit... Otherwise, according to the normal situation of the British army, it should collapse after one-third of the casualties.

Now this British army has at least two-thirds of casualties, but it can still hold on. This may be related to the quality of this unit, but more importantly, the commander is still holding on.

Now Qin Chuan shot their commander dead.

However, Qin Chuan was not sure, after all, he did not see his rank, and the caller might be a signalman or a staff officer, etc.

So Qin Chuan observed the opposite side through the scope and waited for a while.

Then he knew that he guessed right, because a white flag had been raised behind the armored vehicle, and the British army was shaking it hard for him to see it.

"They surrendered!" Qin Chuan said.

"What?" Werner was picking up a drum from the ammunition box. He had replaced his MP40 with the British Thompson submachine gun. He said that this thing was fun during the battle... The drum can hold 100 rounds of bullets, which is almost enough for a battle.

"I said they surrendered!" Qin Chuan repeated, and after a pause he shouted: "Cease fire, cease fire, they surrendered!"

Bazel looked through the telescope in the direction Qin Chuan pointed, and nodded and said: "Yes, Sergeant, they surrendered!"

The German soldiers cheered, some of them could not believe this fact... A group of British soldiers equipped with tanks and armored vehicles and with much more troops than them actually surrendered to them.
