Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 13: Intermission

　　The German counter-charge did not continue to chase the escaped British soldiers, but stopped at the edge of the smoke and returned to the smoke. Then after the roar of the engine, everything was calm again.

　　 The smoke began to disperse slowly, revealing the bodies of British soldiers everywhere, and countless guns were scattered on the ground. From a distance, there were waves of wounded British soldiers crying for help. And the seven Matilda II tanks that were abandoned on the battlefield have been steadily parked at the German position, with their guns facing their original owners.

　　 Colonel Glenn looked at all this in frustration, feeling that his future was as bleak as the sky is now.

　　 "Colonel, please allow me to report to you." A military doctor walked over.

　　"Is it about the poisonous gas casualties? How, how are the casualties, are they serious? Have you found out what poisonous gas is?" Colonel Glenn asked eagerly.

　　" Colonel, I don’t know what to say. I checked all the soldiers who were wounded before and found no signs of ulceration and burns. All the wounded soldiers just felt pain like burning in their eyes and throat. After washing, the symptoms gradually disappeared. So I suspected that the other party was not using any poisonous gas at all, but an irritating substance. Later I found this on the soldier’s clothes. After analysis, I determined that it was something That's..."

　　"Pepper, hahahaha!"

　　 Xu Jun laughed wildly in the trenches. "Combining the pepper and the smoke generator in the smoke bomb produces the effect you see, hahahaha, they must think they were poisoned! The terror of 1915 is still enveloping the British Army."

　　 "Your Deputy Head of State is really a genius. This method is beyond my imagination." Daogen looked admired.

　　 "My beloved deputy head of state, your tactics have made us avenge the British completely, and all the soldiers cheer for you." Randolph clapped his horse to catch up.

　　"General! We repelled the group attack of the opposing regiment, killed at least one company of British soldiers, seized seven British tanks, and only had a dozen soldiers casualties. This was a great victory. A classic battle case written into Army textbooks." Muller was wagging his tail with joy.

　　 "You earned a real medal for yourself. General." Hans said with some deep meaning, and then offered a standard military salute.

　　 "Oh, no, this is the result of all our brave soldiers fighting hard and the stupid tactics of the British commander. I just suddenly came up with a despicable trick. Unfortunately, we don’t think about it again these days. I have the pepper stew made by the chef." Everyone laughed at this place.

　　 "It was your trick that repelled the British and bought us time, General." Hans looked at the woods on the edge of the position, and a heavy tractor roared out of the woods under the sunset. . "It should be the 78th Artillery Battalion, General."

　　 There was a terrifying roar from far away from the British position at this time, "These **** German liars!" Xu Jun and the German officers who could understand English couldn't help laughing again. . The sun slowly set down from the west, and Xu Jun's first battle in this world came to an end.

　　 Soon night fell, and both armies stopped all operations. In this way, the British and Germans started to confront each other over an open space of more than 1,200 meters.

　　 The German soldiers clamored loudly with the freshly cooked broth gnawing on the fried squeaky sausages. They boasted to each other how many Englishmen they had killed in the previous battle, and laughed at the British. The offensive actions that are full of ugliness are more about talking about his new young, smart, great and noble commander. The soldiers now firmly believe that this big man can lead them to completely defeat the British guys on the opposite side, and then lead themselves to destroy all the enemies and quickly end the war.

　　 And what is our new young, smart, great and noble commander doing now?

　　 The trenches dug by the French in World War I are indeed perfect. In addition to the ordinary infantry trenches, there are artillery shelters, field kitchens, and position ambulances, but now these facilities have lost the thick pine wood of the past. Top cover.

　　 Now Xu Jun is sitting in the former artillery shelter. Muller found a tarp covering the truck and covered it above the open shelter, and set it up as a temporary field command and officers’ cafeteria.

　　 Xu Jun sits on a tree-mounted ammunition box next to a long folding table brought from the field kitchen while drinking freshly brewed coffee while looking at the map on the table~IndoMTL.com~ The other officers all sat around the table eating their own dinners, joking easily with each other.

　　 Xu Jun can finally relax and organize his thoughts. On the whole, the current situation has begun to improve, at least the British army on the opposite side can no longer threaten him.

　　 The 78th Artillery Regiment finally arrived here. The Srom failed to fulfill his vow to be here within 20 minutes. He spent half an hour on the road. But because he finally brought the cannons intact, and the British attack had been repelled, Xu Jun did not embarrass him, but expressed a slight dissatisfaction with his loss.

　　 Srom hurriedly explained the situation. It turned out that in order to speed up the rendezvous with the large forces, they drove the convoy onto a branch road that was marked on the map and extended to the southwest. It should be possible to go in that direction Encountered by a large force. But after halfway through the drive, I realized that it was not the road on the map at all. What was even more unexpected was that this dirt road had a gentle curvature, originally heading southwest, but soon turned to the south, but they were taken to the southeast of the battlefield.

　　 They originally wanted to contact the big troops, but they couldn't get in touch anyway. They didn't know what was going on on the battlefield, so they didn't dare to run around. So they stopped there and waited for instructions.

　　Xu Jun forgave the 78th Artillery Regiment's dramatic loss. Since they have become the laughing stock of the entire 7th Division soldiers, don't punish them again.

　　 After this incident, the 78th Artillery Regiment has been called the "Lamb" Regiment by the German soldiers.
