The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Without saying a word, Qin Chuan took out the engineering shovel from his waist and dug into the ground. The German soldiers were all puzzled.

"Sergeant!" Werner also asked: "Do you want to move the stone monument back?"

"No!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Then what are you digging for?" Werner asked again.

Qin Chuan thought for a while and then stopped. Werner's words made him realize that he couldn't dig anything like this.

So Qin Chuan hurried to Bazel and reported to Bazel who was drinking water: "Captain, I have an emergency and need to contact the colonel, is it okay?"

"Of course!" Bazel raised his head towards the signal soldier.

If it were someone else, it would definitely not work, and it would even be a taboo... Soldiers should report any situation to their platoon leader, who will then report to the company commander, who will then report to his superiors, otherwise it will be a leapfrog report.

But Qin Chuan was special. He had received permission from Colonel Slaine early in the morning to report any situation directly.

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan couldn't wait to ask after answering the phone: "Have the people in the village been transferred?"

Qin Chuan's infantry company did not enter the village at all because it was behind the troops.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain replied, "Any questions?"

"Have the British troops stationed in the village just been transferred here?" Qin Chuan asked without answering.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain replied, and then asked strangely: "How do you know?"

"I think I know where the British supplies are!" Qin Chuan replied.

"What?" Colonel Slaine couldn't help but be stunned.

Soon, Colonel Slain dispatched several bulldozers from the engineers to "rumble" near the stone monument, pushing down the sand layer by layer.

Then Colonel Olbridge and General Strike also heard the news and came over.

"Why do you think the British buried supplies underground?" General Strike asked.

"General!" Qin Chuan replied: "This is the method used by the Saharan people to fight a thousand years ago. This was determined by the difficulty of transporting supplies in the desert. They would bury the supplies in the sand and then mark them... I think South Africa Apparently they told the British about this method."

As he spoke, Qin Chuan raised his head towards the stone monument not far away, and then said: "This stone monument was not originally here. It should be at the entrance of the village, but the British moved it here. Why did the British move it here? How about moving it here?”

General Strike nodded and said, "So, you think it is the mark of the British?"

"I think so!" Qin Chuan replied.

"But the British prisoners said nothing!" Colonel Albridge said: "I have interrogated every one of them..."

"They don't know!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because they only transferred them after the supplies were buried!"

"Oh!" Colonel Olbridge seemed to understand something.

"So, the British have become smarter!" General Strike said: "They don't want us to destroy their supply points like before, so they move all the people in the village, bury the supplies, and then transfer a group of completely unknown The soldiers of love came to guard!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "This way we won't be able to know anything from their mouths, and we will even believe that there are no supplies here!"

There is no doubt about this. The British put life first, so with a little interrogation, they will tell everything they know.

"It's indeed a good idea!" After saying that, General Strike shouted at the engineer driving the bulldozer: "Move quickly, we don't have time to be so slow!"

"Yes, General!"

"Now..." General Strike said: "It depends on whether your guess is correct!"

A group of officers and soldiers were waiting next to the bulldozers. The British army obviously buried these supplies very deep... This was also necessary. If they were buried too shallowly, a few artillery shells would explode or the Germans would dig a trench here. These supplies were "discovered" during the period.

Therefore, it was obviously a stupid method for Qin Chuan to dig with an engineer's shovel at first. He might even dig for a day without getting the answer.

Finally, the bulldozer's shovel hit something with a bang.

"Stop..." General Strike ordered, and then he couldn't wait to run to the place where the sound came from. There was already an abnormal protrusion there, like an iron plate.

General Strike threw away the sand and soil on it in a few seconds, and then a gasoline barrel appeared in front of everyone.

"God, we found it!" General Strike turned back and looked at Qinchuan: "You are right, we found their supplies!"

The German officers and soldiers immediately cheered as if they had found a treasure.

But it is indeed a treasure, because nothing in the desert is more valuable than supplies, especially for an army that is fighting and in desperate need of supplies. And real treasures such as gold and silver... are actually no different from sand.

General Strike was still a little worried and asked the engineers to continue digging. He also opened the oil barrels to verify that they were indeed barrels of gasoline, and there were still layers underneath. It was impossible to estimate how many barrels were buried.

"Sergeant!" General Strike said excitedly to Qin Chuan: "Well done, I think this is enough to apply for an Iron Cross for you. You saved our entire armored division!"

The general's words couldn't help but make the surrounding German soldiers cast envious glances at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan could understand their look, because he knew that the Iron Cross was the symbol of the German nation and the pride of Germany. Every German soldier was proud to receive the Iron Cross, which is why Hitler wore it almost all the time. The reason for wearing his Iron Cross.

But Qin Chuan didn't feel much about it. Just like Rommel said when he was promoted to general, "This is a good thing"... This is just a good thing for Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was more concerned about how to survive in this chaos and where he and Germany would go in the future, rather than getting a few medals.

The news that the German army had found British supplies soon reached General Auchinleck, commander of the Eighth Army... This news actually came from "super secrets". General Strike was intercepted by the British army when he reported the good news to Rommel in a telegram. .

General Auchinleck couldn't help but be stunned, and then walked up to Major General Rich, who was discussing the defense of the Gabusali Line with his staff, and said: "General, the Germans will not go to the Gabusali Line!"

"What?" Major General Rich raised his head in surprise and asked, "Why?"

"Because they have found the supplies we buried in Sidi Omar!" General Auchinleck said: "And these supplies are enough for the 21st Armored Division to reach Cairo!"
