Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 45 The British army entered the ambush circle and attacked them head-on, preparing to capture a group of prisoners.

Something is quietly brewing, and at the same time, the British army's second round of offensive is about to come.

The vanguard went straight to Milesti Village. The British troops who came this time were obviously more prepared than before.

The advance began in a skirmish line formation three kilometers away from the village of Milesti.

Several infantry companies pushed forward, and many tanks followed them.

jump!
After an explosion occurred nearly a kilometer away, we knew we had stepped on a landmine.

After stepping on the landmine, the British soldiers quickly lay down and aimed their guns around.

Soon the demining soldiers came out from behind and began to clear the mines with their minesweepers.

Two German soldiers in the bushes had vines wrapped around their helmets and picked up binoculars to look at the situation ahead.

"This is Hummingbird 2, target area 4-2-1"

This is based on the topographic map of the entire Milesti village.

This makes it easier for the artillerymen to locate the capture position.

Just use simple mathematical principles to expand the scale on the terrain map and adjust it.

With the coordinates called, the mortar team quickly received the target bombing area.

Two sets of 80mm mortars, plus three sets of captured British 60mm mortars.

Boom boom boom!Boom!

Five mortars shot out and fell into the wilderness like meteors.

Several British minesweepers who were busy clearing mines were instantly blown into a pile of minced meat.

Just one hit from the 80mm mortar, not to mention the hit from the 60mm mortar.

After a round of shelling, many British minesweepers were all killed.

This time, the other party was getting a little irritated, and he didn't know how big the area was.

Either use the stupidest method to blast directly with artillery shells, or use heavy machine gun bullets to push through.

"Contact the company headquarters, quickly! The British army is preparing to plow the ground with artillery shells."

The soldier headed by the investigation team spoke.

The soldier carrying the radio behind him immediately contacted the company headquarters.

Thanks to the good stuff sent by the British army, William now has two radio stations to use.

This is why minefields can be laid on the only road ahead.

Because artillery strikes can be called at any time.

Soon the voice of company commander William came over the radio.

A half-track rocket launcher was used for support, and all mortars were at the ready.

Whizzing!

Two 180mm rocket launchers soared into the sky and headed straight for the British army.

This can be seen with the naked eye, but when you see it, it means it is too late to dodge.

Two seconds are not even enough to explain my last words.

Rockets fell from the sky and hit the ground directly.

jump!jump!
The huge explosion directly blew the truck behind the British army several meters high, rolled over and hit the ground heavily.

"Take cover!"

"Scatter and hide!"

"Oh God! What the hell is going on?"

The British troops began to dodge around and kept shouting.

Veterans or military officers can play some role.

The British artillery fire from the rear also began to bombard.

The traction was taken off and many people began to push the artillery.

Then it was set up on the road.

A 17-pounder shell was inserted into the barrel.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and an explosion sounded directly from the village of Milesti in the distance.

An already abandoned house was destroyed again.

boom!boom!
Followed by two 17-pounder artillery attacks again.bouncing!

A half-track parked next to the church received a direct hit.

In an instant, it flew more than six meters high, rolled and hit the roof of the British prisoners of war.

A huge iron lump fell and killed three British prisoners.

The British soldiers cursed and cursed.

"Order all three rocket half-tracks to fire. If you don't give them any color, they think we are sick cats!"

William ordered immediately.

After William's order was given.

Three half-track rocket motorcycles are carrying rockets.

Whoosh whoosh!Whoosh whoosh!
Six 180mm rocket launchers soared into the sky and headed straight for the British army.

The British troops immediately fled in all directions, swearing.

Just one minute later, six more 1mm rocket launchers flew out.

This made the British commander look helpless.

There was a minefield ahead, and the minesweepers were hit by mortars.

When they fought back, they were suppressed by the opponent's 180mm rocket launcher.

This made the British army somewhat unable to get off the ground.

"Major Taixi, there is a road nearby that can go around to the right side of the village. We can leave one unit here to feign an attack, and the rest of the troops can go around it. In this way, we can catch them by surprise."

A lieutenant suggested, looking at a topographical map.

This is also a way out of nowhere.

Soon the two began to get busy.

One infantry company was left behind, and the rest began to move toward the other side.

The ridges on both sides of the road on the other side are dense forests. The road in the middle may be easy to walk, but if it is not easy, it means you are stuck in it.

German scouts monitored the British troops along the way and reported the situation at any time.

An off-road quad bike lay among the low bushes.

This kind of off-road four-wheeled motorcycle has four huge wheels, plus excellent suspension and silencer systems, which make the sound very quiet.

Riding a quad bike through the woods for a quick return trip.

This kind of four-wheeled motorcycle can travel through this dense forest and bush with a full load of supplies.

It can also carry a soldier, and its main function is for scouts.

Intelligence determines whether a comeback can be achieved, so William attaches great importance to investigation work.

The scouts are all carefully selected, and their level of camouflage is also top-notch.

"Captain, the British army has arrived. There are about 300 people and nearly [-] tanks, but they are all light tanks."

After the scout reported the situation, he immediately turned around and returned to the car. The two continued to monitor the British army.

Monitoring is usually done by two groups of people, one group goes back to report, and the other group stays to monitor, and will gradually shrink back.

"Everyone, get ready for battle. The enemy is coming soon."

William shuttled across the battlefield to remind the soldiers.

Ram, who was following William, also had a serious look on his face.

Only Royce didn't think much of the British army.

The British army hurriedly entered the ambush circle without knowing what was going on.

It wasn't until the British army's third wheel stepped on a landmine that the wheels of the vehicle were blown up, that they knew they had encountered an ambush.

One grenade after another was rolled and thrown downwards.

jump jump jump!jump jump jump!
The mortar crews were also ready.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
The entire ground was shaken by the explosion. These mortars were all 60mm mortars sent by the British supply team.

Boom!Boom!
Multiple explosions directly caused heavy losses to the British army.

The two teams William transferred were all German veterans, and the weapons they carried were Thor M1940 semi-automatic rifles and MG34 general-purpose machine guns.

The intensive firepower made it difficult for the British troops to break out on the narrow road.
