"Oh my god, why am I not dead yet? Living is much more uncomfortable than being dead."
On the French army position, several French soldiers were talking desperately. They knew that they were in a very dangerous situation and would face death at any time.
"Gululu." Lieutenant Grant's stomach growled with hunger. Of course, not only Grant, Shiers also looked the same. Even Edward and all the soldiers on the French army's position were the same. The little food they ate in the morning,
It was simply not enough to fill everyone's stomachs, and now after experiencing a fierce attack by the British army, the hunger was even worse.
"Damn it, how long will it take for our logistics supplies to be delivered?" Lieutenant Grant complained, "I'm starving to death. If I don't have anything to eat anymore, I'll have to become a deserter."
Grant's face was ugly and sullen. From the defensive battle just now, it can be seen that they consumed a lot, especially in terms of ammunition. The British tanks consumed their anti-tank shells to the tune of 7788. If it weren't for the
Air support, I am afraid they have lost this position on the Algerian border.
Shiers shook his sore arm and approached Grant with a bad expression: "Platoon leader, I'm almost out of bullets now. There are less than 20 bullets left in the heavy machine gun, and all three bullet belts are empty.
, if we encounter a large-scale attack by the British army, we will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death!"
Shiers is the one who consumes the most energy in the entire team. The recoil of the Shajie Lila light machine gun is not small, and it is carried and fired all the way. Three bullet belts are equivalent to 300 rounds. A heavy machine gun plus three bullet belts
The weight is extremely heavy and extremely energy-consuming. He is considered strong enough, otherwise he would be lying on the ground like a dead dog from exhaustion.
And Grant's own bullets were severely insufficient. The British troops sent by Wavell to attack the southern flank position were like crazy, launching group charges against the French position again and again, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.
Next, they advanced step by step.
The French army could only use crossfire to continuously attack them and stop the opponent's attack, which caused the French army to consume too much bullets.
Seeing that there were only a dozen bullets left in his last spare magazine, Grant felt depressed after unloading the magazine. It was true as Shiers said, if they encountered a group charge of the British army again, they would be
I can only wait to die.
At this time, Edward was breathing heavily and fanning his neck with his hands: "I have another piece of bad news. There are no more anti-tank shells. Let's think of ways to escape while we have time now!"
He slowly analyzed for Grant: "At the beginning, the sound of our anti-tank guns was quite dense. But the last time the British army attacked, our anti-tank guns seemed to have become mute, and there was no movement.
I think the British army will definitely attack our side next time where there is sparse artillery fire."
When Grant heard Edward's words, he suddenly felt palpitations. While loading the few remaining bullets in one hand, he said to everyone: "Well, that's a question. So, Edward, you go and see what's going on over there in our bunker first."
?Be careful! Be careful not to be targeted by British snipers, their marksmanship is very accurate!"
The reason why Grant arranged for Edward to investigate the environment of the bunker is because he is the only one in the entire team who is relatively relaxed and does not consume much physical energy. Moreover, Edward's reactions are not slow. He is small and runs very fast, making him very suitable for investigation.
A type of work.
Under Grant's instructions, Edward picked up his MAS36 rifle and walked toward the bunker.
As Grant said, the investigation was none other than Edward's.
On the one hand, Edward himself has good marksmanship and observation skills. His MAS36 rifle was only installed in the local French army in 1936. It has good shooting accuracy, which makes Edward half a sniper.
On the other hand, except for Edward, who had not exercised much before and had conserved his physical strength, everyone else present was too hungry and had no energy to investigate.
Watching Edward leave, Grant turned around and looked at Shiers. After pondering for a moment, he really didn't know what to say.
Shiers also had a bitter gourd-like expression on his face. He touched his growling belly with one hand and said with a desperate look on his face: "Chief Grant, what should we do next? Without food and water, even a British **
If the team doesn't launch another attack, we will starve to death sooner or later!"
"Well, I also..." Before Grant could finish his words, another soldier suddenly kicked Grant.
In Grant's eyes as he looked over, he saw the fear in the soldier who kicked him.
The British team attacks again!
Shiers, who was Grant's deputy, reacted the fastest and immediately shouted: "Oh no! A lot of British tanks are coming! Guys, hurry up and get into the bunker!"
The French troops, who had been a little slack in spirit, suddenly became tense again.
At this point, what they fear most is hearing the words "British Team". These words are like a nightmare, entangled in everyone's hearts.
Fear, this is their most troublesome enemy.
As soon as Shiers finished speaking, the French soldiers around him stood up quickly. Instead of resisting, they packed up their guns and ran away.
The bunker they were about to hide in was built by Berante's soldiers as soon as he arrived in Algeria. It was made of special concrete and steel and could withstand the bombardment of ordinary tank guns.
More importantly, there are a large number of anti-tank cones surrounding this bunker, making it impossible for tanks to get close.
It has to be said that Berante was very foresight. He had already set the British Army in Africa as an imaginary enemy in his mind, and prepared means to deal with British tanks.
When a group of French troops here reached the only entrance to the top of the bunker, Grant finally felt a glimmer of hope, as did Shiers and Edward, who had entered the bunker in advance.
Although there are mighty British tanks coming from the right direction, if they rely on this strong bunker, they can still fight against the British army and wait for possible reinforcements.
Immediately afterwards, Grant and others used their existing weapons to resist the British army.
However, almost all of their bullets hit the British Matilde tank, but the British soldiers hiding behind the tank were unscathed. There was no way, the French army in Algeria only had a total of 66 B1 tanks, and all of them were destroyed
Berante was used on the northern defensive line.
The French army at the southern end was destined to rely on fortifications such as bunkers and anti-tank cones.
"Stop everyone, we don't have many bullets, don't waste bullets." Grant shouted worriedly. Because the logistics were inexplicably blocked by the traitors, the French army on the front line was actually very disadvantaged in terms of supplies.
"Now that the British tanks cannot move forward, they will definitely send soldiers to destroy the anti-tank cones. Listen carefully, as long as any British dare to show their heads, they will shoot. They must not destroy the anti-tank cones!" Grant ordered selectively.
