Chapter 197 Blood-stained night
The British continued to move forward, and when the Germans installed bayonets and prepared for close combat, "Shot arrows,,," the voice of pig white fell into everyone's ears. Countless English longbows under the Aboriginal Division rushed to the front, took off the English longbows on their backs, pulled the bowstrings at the enemy 260 meters away, and then gently put them on.
The arrows that covered the night fell into the charge of the enemy like raindrops. The sharp arrows penetrated into the enemy's body, piercing the protection of skin and muscles. Blood drops oozed out from the gaps in the arrows and flowed to the dry ground. The arrowhead fell to the sky, but the British soldiers had just fallen down and were squeezed by the later generations before they could scream and almost fell into a pool of blood. The British may never dream of being wiped out by the weapons invented by their ancestors. This weapon that once made the Saxons famous all over the world was finally used by others to attack their descendants.
The rain of arrows only suspended the enemy's impact. It was like a stone thrown into the Mediterranean, which had rippled a few waves and then lost its effect. The British continued to sprint, and they rushed forward without defending their deaths. The German gunfire had stopped. They understood that as long as they passed this period, they could escape and ascend to heaven.
"Arrower with a spear, throw it to me." Pig Bai waved his hand resolutely, and the English longbow soldiers who shot all the arrows began to retreat. The eagle warrior holding the spear walked to the front and used all his strength to swing the spear. After the spear briefly slid, it sank into the crowd in the front row. In an instant, it was like a tide was suddenly pulled, and the people in the front row stopped, and the people in the front row rolled and fell to the ground. However, this was only temporary. The crowd of people like the tide had rushed to the front tank, and then the faint moonlight, the soldiers on both sides could see clearly that there were several beards on the other side's faces.
"The eagle warrior retreats, the violent warrior attacks, ready to contact the war." Pig pig issued the order for melee combat, then turned around and ran back, fleeing to safety. The violent warriors pulled out the scimitars tied to their waists and put on the dog helmet. The strange decoration on the helmets emitted a bloody red light under the moonlight. They stepped over the tank, and the raised scimitars emitted a moonlit arc.
The melee begins
The African natives holding a scimitar ruthlessly cut the blade towards the enemy, and the screams of being cut off by their bodies began to spread on the battlefield. The splashing red blood kept gushing out from the broken limbs, shocking everyone present.
The British charge finally came to an abrupt end, but the melee battle had just begun. The invincible African natives who were invincible in melee poured into the enemy formation like black killing gods. The scimitar in their hands became a better killing weapon than guns. Every time they waved, there was a piece of blood. But the British were playing incomprehensible tenacity at this time. They held a bayonet rifle and fought with the African natives and stabbed the other party. The British, who had red eyes, picked up the machine gun in their hands and swept it randomly, shooting all of them, whether they were comrades or enemies.
Under the moonlight, the strangulation battle between the flesh continued without stopping. Countless German soldiers also picked up bayonets and joined the melee. They were extremely disgusted with these dark African indigenous people. But tonight, without these African indigenous people, they had become fallen corpses, and the British might have also rushed out of the predetermined encirclement. At this moment, the Germans truly psychologically accepted these African indigenous people to become their comrades-in-arms. The Germans and the indigenous people cooperated together to start the final decisive battle.
The battlefield in the dark became a huge meat grinder, and tens of thousands of people were congested in this small desert. Both sides fought in the most primitive way. In the trance of the light, people kept falling down. The sharp screams of tearing, the sound of metal weapons colliding and the sound of death, and the occasional gunshots became the mainstream of the battlefield. The sprayed blood filled the air and began to reflect bloody red moonlight.
The battle continued until dawn. When the German armored troops rushed to reinforce from all directions and joined the encirclement and annihilation operation, the British finally began to collapse. They left their weapons and fled in scattered ways. Most of them became prisoners, and only a very small number escaped from the encirclement and fled back to the Tobrug Fortress.
When the battle ended, the Germans' victory cheers sounded on the battlefield, "We have won, we have won."
On the early morning of June 30, 1941, the battle outside the fortresses of Tobru was recorded forever in history. On that night, nearly 20,000 British soldiers remained on land in foreign countries forever. The battle this night became the bloodiest night in the entire North African battle. The entire battleground was stained red by the blood of soldiers from various countries, and the blood of countless people was shed here.
It was the African indigenous division that blocked the British's crazy counterattack. This African indigenous division, which was despised by all Germans except General Gesyun and ridiculed by all British people, proved its value with blood and victory. They successfully blocked the British's breakthrough. That night, the African indigenous division also suffered heavy losses, with more than 3,000 people falling on the battlefield. The battle this night was also called the Blood-stained Night.
However, everyone has a big question, why did Mr. Mobri take his soldiers out of the city to dig sand in the middle of the night? Did he really like playing house? Or did he suddenly get polio and get crazy on the sheep. But no one answered, which became one of the top ten incredible mystery of World War II.
After dawn, Jintian, under the protection of the Pest Guard, came to the land after the battle. There were no buried corpses everywhere on the battlefield, and yellow, red, and black corpses were densely mixed together. Those who fought to the death during their lifetime were lying together after their death. After a night of battle, the German soldiers no longer had the strength to bury the corpses. The surviving British soldiers cried next to the corpses of their comrades. The crying was very far away. The Germans guarding the prisoners did not stop them, but just watched all this quietly.
So many corpses were added to the land of North Africa overnight. The originally yellow sand soil had a faint red layer. Tens of thousands of people! They died overnight and could no longer see the sun rising tomorrow. Under this sand soil, countless unjust souls would be buried.
"General Ge Siyun, did you order the body to be buried? The weather in this place is hot. If it is not buried, it will rot and smelly. A plague is likely to occur." Obestan walked to Jintian and asked.
Jinda nodded momily, "Okay! Let the soldiers bury the bodies. If there are any people alive, no matter which country they are, they will be sent to the battlefield hospital for emergency treatment. Alas, a terrible night. This is war. Either you die or I die, there is no other choice. If all this is a game, there is also a resurrection point to resurrect everyone, at most, one level or a little bit of equipment is lost."
After General Gesyun's order was issued, a large number of German soldiers began to bury the bodies. The Germans were very lucky that the British had dug many pits last night. This brought endless convenience to the burial work. The British might never dream of digging for themselves for a long time. The Germans naturally sent the bodies into the deep pit. They were all veterans on the battlefield and they were used to everything in front of them.
"General Gesyun" Liszt ran to Kinda in a hurry and said, "I found Mobri, the commander-in-chief of Tobrug Fortress."
"Oh! Really? Let's go and see." Jinda followed Lister to a collapsed military truck. General Mobri, who was lured out of the city by Lister, was dead. He held a pistol in his hand, and there was a clear bullet mark on his temple. It seemed that he had committed suicide.
"Hey,,," Jintian sighed lightly, expressing sympathy for Mobley's experience. "He is a poor man, deceived by the illusory treasure and a more illusory blood-drip score. As a result, he brought tens of thousands of British soldiers on the road of no return. I think he would not be stable on the way to the underworld. If I were a British soldier, I would beat him to death. However, the King of Hell might give him a small official. After all, he added so much business to hell overnight and made his due contribution to the economic growth of hell. Liszt, bury him well, he is my benefactor."
"Yes! General Gesyun" Liszt greeted several soldiers, carried Mobley's body away, and buried it in a separate tomb.
Jintian was not in the mood to care about everything in front of him anymore, and his goal had already been achieved. The British main combat troops of the entire Tobrug Fortress fell here, and those who were not dead became their own prisoners. What remained in the fortress were a South African division and an Indian third division. Some British troops were logistics soldiers, artillery and tank soldiers, secretaries soldiers. The entire Tobrug Fortress was already useless and was already in his pocket. Launching another large-scale offensive can take down the Tobrug Fortress. With a light push, the door to Egypt will be opened, and the treasures in the pyramids and the beauties in the Arab palace will be closer and closer to him.
On the afternoon of June 30, 1943, at 1:20, the German army launched a fierce offensive at the Tubrug Fortress. After a large-scale air strike and artillery attack, hundreds of tanks took the lead in charging. The remnants of the fortress barely resisted in the absence of commanders. However, the British army, who had no fighting will, surrendered one after another, especially the South African Division and the Indian Division. They announced their surrender without firing a single shot. The solid peripheral defense line became useless garbage, and the German army quickly rushed through the outer positions and entered the city.
The German army, who thought they would encounter street fighting, did not encounter any particularly fierce resistance in the city. The bunkers, fortifications, and firepower points in the fortresses were no longer defended, and the hidden anti-tank guns and tanks did not fire, and all became trophys. The extremely weak resistance was quickly cleared.
At 5:28, the Pest Guard rushed into the British command of the Tobrug Fortress. Not long after, the British flag on the top of the command was lowered, and the Pest Army flag was fluttered. The Tobrug Fortress fell and the Germans opened the door to Egypt.
