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

Chapter 44: Laying a minefield, infighting between Belgian and British prisoners, resulting in bloody casualties
After entering the church, Ram saw William lying on the map with a pencil in his hand.

The soldiers on the side were also busy, and the ammunition boxes piled on the ground had not yet been carried downstairs.

It looked like they were newly transported supplies, or supplies from the British army.

After all, they got a wave of supplies from the British army for free.

The yellow mud scattered on the ground looked like he was walking in a hurry.

"Captain!"

Ram stepped forward and saluted and shouted.

William raised his head and glanced at Ram, "Why are our own people doing these false rituals? Come and take a look here."

William reminded him again that Ram was his brother and he had to salute when he came.

In William's opinion, there is no need to use these false etiquette if you are really in awe of a person.

Ram smiled and didn't say anything. It was just a fateful friendship and there was nothing that didn't need to be said. He understood it in his heart.

Ram walked to the table and looked at the map, seeing William's mark.

"Captain, are you planning to ambush here? The point is that the British army may not go here!"

Ram saw the situation on the map. In Ram's opinion, there was no need for the British army to take a detour.

It was indeed a good ambush site, but it was not a direct route to Milesti Village.

"If there are a large number of mines laid here and here, and the British army comes to clear the mines and uses mortar shelling, what do you think?"

William picked up the pencil and drew a circle in the two areas to explain.

"In this case, maybe they will take a detour from the side!"

Ram nodded in response.

"As long as they take a detour, we can give each other a good drink!"

William made a cross in the ambush area and said with a smile.

"Then Captain, do you mean that I lead people to ambush or lay mines?"

Ram asked.

"There are all mines in the boxes here. You only need to arrange them about 200 meters apart. If they are densely packed, they should be arranged at intervals of ten meters. They only need to be a deterrent to the opponent. The rest are not needed. I will arrange a hundred supplementary troops for you. superior"

William stood up and walked to the door while talking, and Ram followed him.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will take care of it. Let Royce help you handle it together. These [-] additional soldiers are all new recruits. It's better to have someone to help."

William pointed to the one hundred supplementary soldiers opposite the church and said.

Among them, Royce has been mobilized to stand in front of the supplementary troops and lead the team.

"The rest will be left to you."

William said, then turned and headed towards the church.

Ram came to the soldiers and began to give a simple lecture.

Then we started to train the team, and finally started to select the person in charge.

Each temporary person in charge directs each team and moves materials at the same time.

One team carried two boxes of mines.

There are six mines inside, so two boxes make twelve mines.

This means that this team needs to lay twelve mines.

Recruits have been trained on something as simple as laying mines.

So there is no problem in leaving it to them.

After everyone got their equipment and started setting off, Ram started his half-track motorcycle.

Royce climbed up and sat in the back seat and started off together.

Only Royce can fit into the car, and the rest of the supplementary troops really don't dare.

The motorcycle was not moving very fast, and the soldiers could keep up with it at a trot.

Mines can be laid a kilometer outside the village.

As we kept moving forward, we soon arrived one kilometer away.

For German soldiers, if you can't even run five kilometers with a heavy load, the consequences will be severe repairs.

After arriving at the destination, the teams began to line up. Each team lined up separately, so there could be no chaos.

After a while, one of our own people was blown up to death, which would be a joke.

"dig!"

Following the squad leader's order, the three soldiers began to dig the hole.

Hand-held engineering shovels began to dig holes in staggered ways.

The two people responsible for laying mines, the two responsible for transportation, and the rest are in the observation position.

But you can't forget to lay a mine, or you will be blown up by your own people.

Although it is laying mines, especially when laying over such a large area, it is definitely not done randomly.

They all moved very quickly. Ram and Royce looked around with telescopes.

What if the British army suddenly comes over and I don’t know what to do?
The battlefield is always on alert.

Half an hour later, everyone had laid the mines.

The soldiers also pulled up barbed wire on the edge, with minefield written on it in German.

These were reminders to the German troops, not the British troops on the opposite side.

And the barbed wire fence will not be pulled up 200 meters away.

"Pack your things and follow me!"

Ram and the soldiers packed up all their belongings and started heading towards the predetermined location.

When Ram arrived, William was also there. He brought two squads of soldiers to build fortifications, and fifty Belgian soldiers also came over to dig fortifications.

The Belgian soldiers worked very hard because the conditions given were very generous.

William promised to let them go back directly after the war, and would also pay them military salaries according to the current salary of German soldiers.In addition, the food, drink and accommodation are at the same level as the German army.

This felt very good to the captured Belgian soldiers.

William knew that all of Belgium would fall soon, and now he promised them that they could go back later.

The only difference is that now they suffer less and can still get military pay.

William has the money to give daily cash handouts directly.

The face value of one mark a day, one hundred pfennigs.

They get money every day, and they still know the value of the German mark.

Although they only have one mark a day, they are much luckier than the British who have no money.

The ridges on both sides were sweating like rain, and soldiers were digging fortifications.

In addition, all fortifications are concealed.

Less than an hour later, it started to drizzle again.

Don't underestimate the density of the drizzle. In fact, it is no less dense than moderate rain. Plus, the breeze will make your whole body shiver.

So when it rained I started putting on all my raincoats.

The Belgian soldiers also wore raincoats.

William did not embarrass them, but asked Ram and others to pull up two shed roofs under the tree.

More than fifty people huddled together to take shelter from the rain. They had no choice but to wear raincoats.

I don’t know how these guys formed an army.

William asked Ram to go back on his motorcycle to get fifty sets of raincoats.

After returning, he directly confiscated all the British soldiers' raincoats.

The British army also looked indignant, but they could only roar helplessly in their hearts.

After all, he was now squatting in a German prisoner-of-war pen.

A half-roofed house was used as a prisoner of war pen for the British army.

Only half of the people could take shelter from the rain, and the rest had no choice but to wear raincoats and get helplessly soaked in the rain.

More than a dozen German soldiers rushed in and began to take off the British soldiers' raincoats.

The British army could only watch as his raincoat was taken off.

"We are protected by prisoners of war, you can't treat us like this"

"Hey, you bitches are going too far, assholes, I'm talking about you!"

The British soldier cursed.

But the German soldiers didn't care at all. They dishonestly taught you how to be a good person.

If you push harder, I'll give you a second big pussy.

I got about sixty sets of raincoats from here and stuffed them directly into the car and took them away.

When the Belgian soldiers came back after completing the repairs, they were seen by the British prisoners at the window.

"These damn Belgians are wearing our raincoats, these bastards!"

The British soldiers began to curse the Belgian soldiers.

The Belgian soldiers immediately became upset when they heard this.

More than 50 Belgian soldiers came to the door and started shouting provocative words.

The British soldiers were so angry that they forced open the door and rushed out and began to greet the Belgian soldiers.

The British captured far more soldiers than their Belgian counterparts.

Among them, more than 60 British soldiers sent supplies than Belgian soldiers.

What's more, after the previous Lieutenant Henry surrendered, there were still more than [-] people left.

In this way, it was basically two British soldiers fighting one Belgian soldier.

The Belgian soldiers had just returned with shovels.

Although there was a huge disparity in the number of troops between the two sides, the Belgian soldiers were armed.

Some British soldiers also snatched shovels and smashed them against the Belgian soldiers.

The fight between the two sides directly alarmed the German army.

But the German soldiers were not in a hurry to go up, they just guarded the perimeter to prevent them from escaping.

As for their fight, just watch it like a show.

The two sides fought fiercely in the mud for more than 30 minutes before slowly coming to a stop.

23 British soldiers were killed and more than 60 injured. 39 Belgian soldiers were killed and all the rest were injured.

"Is it all filmed?"

William asked the communications soldier beside him.

"Captain, I took all the photos as you requested."

The soldier replied.

"Very good, go immediately to interview soldiers who can speak."

William said with a smirk on his lips.

What he wants is to destroy all the image of the British army.

Soon the news began to spread, and at the same time there were pictures, the truth, and videos.

William had already prepared a set of equipment for shooting.

After all, this is a fight with Britain and France, who claim to be the righteous side.

Then we have to see what these so-called righteous parties are.

It was really used today, killing so many allies, the Belgians will definitely protest.
