Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

In the first day of battle, the German army suffered heavy losses. At least 15,000 people died in the first day of the battle, and nearly 30,000 people surrendered. In Saint-Omer, four vehicles of the expeditionary force

The tanks cooperated with each other and forced 3,000 German troops to lay down their weapons at one time, creating the biggest miracle on the Western Front since the war began.

Compared with the heavy losses of the German army, the losses of the expeditionary force were not worth mentioning. On the first day of the battle, the expeditionary force suffered less than two thousand casualties, most of whom died in hand-to-hand combat after breaking into the German trenches.

In some areas, the fighting was extremely fierce. The German troops who had not yet had time to enter the trenches were divided and surrounded. The expeditionary force used flamethrowers and grenades to deal with the German troops hiding in bunkers. The German troops in the caves were even worse. After making some sacrifices, the expeditionary force

, instead of attacking the complex underground transportation network, they blew up all the tunnel entrances and blocked the German troops in the tunnels. The battle lasted until midnight.

At night, in a foxhole in the forward position of the 2nd Cavalry Division, Corporal Huang Hai and Private Fox were on guard. Fox used his helmet to block the wind, lit two cigarettes, and handed the cigarettes to Huang Hai.

When Huang Hai took it over, he asked casually: "You didn't add any ingredients, did you?"

"No, the added ingredients are for the special servant army. Our Second Cavalry Division doesn't need that." Fox took a deep breath with his head sullen, never daring to expose the cigarette butt.

Added cigarettes can make soldiers forget their fears. This is a common method used by the Allied Powers and the Central Powers at this time. However, whether soldiers will become dependent after the war is an issue that the Allied Powers senior leaders will not consider.

The use of such cigarettes in the Southern African Expeditionary Force is absolutely prohibited. Rock will use other methods to motivate the troops. This method is absolutely prohibited. Even in Southern Africa, all species are absolutely prohibited. This aspect must not be touched. Will

Turn living people into real devils.

Fifty meters in front of the foxholes of Huanghai and Fox, there is a burning iron bucket. The firewood inside is poured with diesel and is burning brightly, which can serve as a good warning.

Although the German army did not have the habit of fighting at night, the German army was completely defeated in the daytime battle. No one knew whether the German army would take advantage of the night to make a sneak attack, so it was better to be prepared.

"It would be great if we were armored soldiers. We can sit inside without being blown by the wind or rain, and we don't have to carry our own backpacks. It's very comfortable just thinking about it." Fox looked at the tanks and armored vehicles not far behind him with an envious expression.

Tanks are great for offense, and they are also great for defense. Not far behind Huang Hai and Fox stood a tank and an armored vehicle. The tank driver was sitting on the turret and eating a can. The door of the armored vehicle was open.

Two soldiers were sitting at the door, smoking and chatting with their feet hanging down outside the car. They looked much more comfortable than Huang Hai and Fox lying in the paratrooper pit with a piece of oilcloth under their bodies.

"You're stupid, just looking at the majesty. It's so hot inside in the summer and so cold inside in the winter. What's the comfort?" Huang Hai is obviously well-informed and doesn't envy the armored soldiers at all.

Just like Huang Hai said, the armored soldiers during this period were indeed very miserable. One thing is certain, tanks and armored vehicles definitely did not have air conditioning, so the environment can be imagined. When fighting in summer, the temperature inside the tank can be

When the temperature reaches over 60 degrees, the tank crew will look like prawns just fished out of boiling water when they get out of the car.

Winter is even worse. Think about what it feels like to touch iron in winter, or what it feels like to sit in a tank.

This is still the case when the German army does not have anti-tank weapons. If the German army is equipped with anti-tank weapons, the danger of tanks on the battlefield will greatly increase. By then, all tanks will become the main targets of attack, so tank soldiers really have nothing to envy.

.

"We are so relieved today. If we continue at this rate, we should be able to capture Ghent tomorrow." Fox changed the subject. Ghent is an eternal pain in the hearts of the soldiers of the Southern African expeditionary force. The last "Operation Victory Horn", Southern Africa

The expeditionary force reached the city of Ghent, but ultimately failed.

"Don't think too hard. The Germans are not stupid. I guess they will be able to think of ways to deal with tanks in the next few days -" Huang Hai is not optimistic. Southern Africa has had many internal confrontations involving armored forces, and Huang Hai has also participated in them.

At the beginning, the southern African army was helpless against tanks, but as the exercise progressed, various indigenous methods emerged. Never doubt the wisdom of the working people.

"How to deal with it? Unless the Germans also have tanks -" Fox was a new recruit who had just joined the army and knew very little about tanks.

"It's simple. Look at that tank. If it were you, how would you deal with it?" Huang Hai was uncomfortable lying on his stomach, so he turned over and took a deep breath.

The sky was gloomy, not a single star could be seen, and there was a faint smell of violent storm in the night wind. Huang Hai sighed, if it rained tomorrow, the Germans would not have to think of a way, the tank troops would have to lie down.

"Throw a grenade into the tank -" Fox opened his mouth. When a grenade was dropped, there was absolutely no chance for the two tank crews to survive in the narrow space inside the tank.

"Tch - we have tried your method before, but it didn't work. Tank troops are always accompanied by infantry when dispatched. Do you think those accompanying infantry will allow you to get close to the tank easily?" Huang Hai dismissed it.

What kind of solution is this?

"Then what to do -" Fox couldn't think of facing the steel monster unless he had a more powerful weapon.

"It's so simple. Just dig a hole in the ground and the tanks will have to take a detour. Think about how much time we wasted in the afternoon trying to cross the river, otherwise we would have reached Ghent by now -" Huang Hai was very regretful.

The border between France and Belgium is densely covered with water, which caused a lot of trouble for the tank troops. In the afternoon battle, the armored troops wasted an entire hour and a half trying to cross a river.

At that time, the German army was on the other side of the river, watching the tanks milling around on the river bank. Huang Hai did not believe that the German army could be so violent. Maybe the German army was digging holes overnight.

"What should I do?" Fox murmured to himself, looking at Tank with eyes full of sorrow.

"Why are you worrying so much? Your lord will find a way. It's not our turn to worry about this." Huang Hai threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and when he turned over, he seemed to see something passing in front of the tin bucket.

Although it was difficult to see Yingying Chuochuo in the dark night, Huang Hai subconsciously pulled the bolt of the light machine gun.

Fox remained silent and quietly held the grenade beside him.

Another black shadow flashed past, and this time Huang Hai finally saw it clearly. It was a German soldier wearing a sturdy steel helmet.

The style of the helmets of German soldiers is actually similar to the helmets of the Southern African Expeditionary Force. However, the German helmets have a very eye-catching gun tip, which has become a distinctive feature of the German army.

Huang Hai didn't say anything, and aimed at the front of the tin barrel and fired a long burst.

"Enemy attack!" Fox shouted and threw the grenade in his hand.

boom--

The silent defense line suddenly boiled like a fish pond with firecrackers thrown into it. The bullet chain composed of countless tracer bullets was whipped like a whip, and the flares immediately rose, making the entire defense line as bright as day.

Tom-tom-tom——

The 40mm grenade launcher on the armored vehicle also started firing. There was no need to aim at this time. All within sight were German soldiers with ferocious expressions rushing upwards. Some of them were holding rifles with bayonets. Other soldiers shoveled grenades with one hand and another.

In the process of fighting the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the German troops have indeed been making progress.

But in the face of absolutely superior firepower, relying solely on personal courage will have no effect.

Now that there are more and more light and heavy machine guns of all kinds, the role of group charges of infantry units is getting smaller and smaller. A light machine gun can sometimes control a sector area up to 50 meters wide in front of it. As long as the machine gun has enough bullets, The infantry will die as many as they come. Flesh and blood can never compete with the steel storm.

Huang Hai is an excellent machine gunner. The general-purpose machine gun using a bipod is equipped with a 75-round magazine, and a tracer bullet is loaded every five rounds to facilitate the shooter to correct the trajectory, in order to prevent attacks at night.

Huang Hai's first magazine was used up almost instantly. Fox picked up the spare barrel to replace it, but Huang Hai stopped him directly: "Just change the magazine -"

The Southern African Army stipulates that in order to better protect the life of the barrel, the barrel must be replaced every time a magazine is fired, so that the barrel can get sufficient rest, so that the life of the barrel can be longer.

Of course, if it is an emergency, you can also fire two or three magazines in a row and then replace the barrel. Although the barrel can hold up, it will be detrimental to the life of the barrel over time.

This is definitely a state of emergency. It doesn't matter if the barrel of the gun is broken. We must suppress the attacking German troops first.

Fox didn't waste any time and took the time to change the magazine.

Huang Hai kept his shooting posture still. As soon as Fox was replaced, Huang Hai pulled the trigger.

Damn it, just wasting this moment, the German army has already rushed within fifty meters, and some German soldiers have already raised their arms and are ready to throw grenades.

Huang Hai gritted his teeth and persisted. Even if he died in battle, he would not retreat. Huang Hai and Fox wanted to buy more time for the rear troops.

The German grenades were thrown like raindrops, and one grenade landed right between the Yellow Sea and Fox.

Huang Hai Wuxia cloned himself, Fox let out a strange scream, picked up the grenade and threw it out of the foxhole.

boom--

The grenade exploded right next to the foxhole, and a piece of shrapnel flew past Huang Hai's cheek, leaving a bloody mark on Huang Hai's face.

Fox next to him was not so lucky. He was hit by three pieces of shrapnel at the same time. Blood gushed out from a hole in his ear, and he fell beside Huang Hai without saying a word.

Huang Hai's heart was still intact, and the first thought that came to his mind was that he had received a contribution medal.

What a big heart!

(Where are the consciences of those sluts who want to feed their dogs with dried fish——)
