This arduous task was handed over to Qin Chuan.

This made Qin Chuan a little amused, because anyone can complete the detonation of landmines with a rifle... It has nothing to do with gunfire, because you don't know where the landmines are, that is, people can't see the target and can only use bullets to try their luck.

But Qin Chuan still took on this task.

Qin Chuan found two assistants and asked them to stand in front of them one left and one right, and then erected a spreading rain poncho in front of them.

"Why do we do this?" Werner, holding the poncho, asked in confusion.

"Because I don't want the British artillery observers to see the fire from my muzzle!" Qin Chuan replied.

Werner couldn't help but "Oh" and suddenly realized.

Bullets will penetrate the poncho, but they will only make a small hole in the poncho, and other parts of the poncho will block the sparks from the muzzle.

"How did you think of this method?" Werner asked.

Bazel replied, "This is why I asked the sergeant to perform this mission instead of you!"

Originally, Qin Chuan thought this was a very simple thing... All he had to do seemed to be lifting the gun and pulling the trigger.

But when Qin Chuan raised his gun, he realized that things did not seem to be what he thought, because if the mine explosion point was too close, even if the British were deceived... the shells would still affect the hiding places of the German soldiers.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan stepped on a kneeling position to shoot, which allowed him to feel the horizontal line on the ground better... He first kept the rifle level with the ground, then lowered the gun slightly, and then pulled the trigger with a "bang".

Nothing happened, and the mines didn't sound, but they scared Werner, Ya, and Keller, who were holding the poncho, to the ground... This was a conditioned reflex, and the soldiers couldn't help but do this when they heard the gunshots.

"You have to change this habit for the time being!" Qin Chuan said: "From now on, unless you hear the sound of cannons or explosions, lying on the ground is a waste of time!"

"Okay!" Werner got up from the ground with a little dirt and pulled the poncho out of Qin Chuan with Keller again.

"Bang!" Another gunshot was still unsuccessful.

This time the two men who pulled the poncho were better. They didn't lie down, but their feet were still bent unconsciously.

"Bang!" Qin Chuan then fired the third bullet.

At this time, a "boom" sound was heard, and a landmine exploded at a distance of more than 800 meters.

The next second, the shells came indeed, and there were flares mixed in it, and the "boom" of light and fire was heard.

Of course, together with these explosions, there is also the "expanding" sound when the mines are detonated... Although the explosions are integrated and they are almost the same, there is still a difference when you carefully determine them. The explosion of the shell is like thunder, and compared with it, the explosion of the mine is a bit like a firecracker.

When the cannon sound stopped, Werner laughed and said, "Sergeant, we have succeeded, the British used shells to open the way for us!"

"I think our results just now are not just like that," Bazel said.

"What?" Werner didn't understand.

"Listen!" said Bazel.

The soldiers calmed down, and then they faintly heard a scream and scolding from the opposite side.

"What's going on?" Werner couldn't figure it out.

"The British hit the bomb on their own heads!" Bazel replied: "The Sergeant's shot just now must have detonated a mine close to the enemy's defense line, so..."

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly, the soldiers' pessimism disappeared.

This is a very strange feeling. In fact, to be honest, Qin Chuan's shot did not play much substantial role, because even if British cannons have been bombarded, the mines still have to be cleared... Many mines have not been detonated, especially anti-tank mines. Unless this thing is directly hit by a shell, it will not explode even if the whole person is stepped on it. This is exactly the focus of mine removal.

However, Qin Chuan's shot gave the German army the upper hand in some aspects, which made the soldiers have different mentalities in the face of this battle.

Then, the soldiers used their same tricks again and successively used rifles to detonate mines in several other directions. Now the British army was much more careful. They fired flares and confirmed that they were a distance from the British defense line before firing the shells.

Qin Chuan and others were fishing in the water at this time... They drove forward to demine grenades when they fired in other directions, which was much faster than bayonets to demine.

Therefore, the minefield that originally took several hours to pay a large amount of casualties to pass through miraculously opened up a passage without much casualties.

Three red flares rose into the air, which was telling the subsequent troops, especially tanks, that could launch an attack.

At the same time, the battle between the Second Infantry Company on the front line began.

There is one advantage to fighting like this... The British artillery cannot play a role because it is dark night. The enemy and us are too close and may be intertwined due to offense and defense. Long-range artillery may cause accidental injury.

Therefore, the British artillery could only smash a large number of shells on the German reinforcements line on the defense line. The British army attempted to use this firewall that was smashed with shells to prevent the German army from advancing.

However, this actually doesn't work much.

To be precise, smashing a firewall does work, and any troops or tanks will be blown away.

The problem is that the German troops and tanks are not stupid enough to hit the fire wall... When the British fired, they would stung and stayed in a stance, and then move forward at full speed when the fire stopped.

If the British army had endless artillery shells, it would be fine. A wall of fire will always stand in front of them and the German army would not be able to attack them at any time.

However, this place is a desert after all.

Although the British army had much more supplies than the German army, they had to be transported from colonies such as India and Australia through the Suez Canal. No matter how they could not resist the British army's continuous explosion of fire walls.

So the fire stopped again after a few minutes.

As a result, the German tanks and troops rushed up in the smoke like a flood, and the "rumbling" tracks quickly resounded throughout the battlefield.

"God!" Major John, commander at Rouysat Ridge, shouted: "How did these Germans do it? We laid thunders in front of the defense line for a few days, and they actually successfully passed in just over an hour!"

"Major!" The staff officer reported in panic: "The German tanks launched a fierce attack on our first line of defense!"
