The decisive battle against the Third Reich

When the fleet returned to the port of competition, it was immediately welcomed by the German army. Of course, there were also the French and Tunisians who had to come to show off under the German "power".

However, many Tunisians do so voluntarily, because the Germans still implement a relatively open policy here that allows locals to be independent. Many Tunisians regard the Germans as liberators, and of course they hope that the German army will win. .

As for the French... Qin Chuan didn't know how they would feel when they saw the Germans driving their warships and beating the powerful British Navy right in front of their eyes, and they had to cheer for the German Navy.

In fact, if possible, Qin Chuan would prefer to disembark at the Port of Algiers rather than at the Port of Bizerte... He chose to disembark at the Port of Bizerte, firstly because he was worried about the British fleet coming back, and secondly because of "Dunkirk" The USS was damaged and needed to undergo preliminary maintenance at the Port of Bizerte and then transfer to the Port of Algiers (only Algiers has large-scale maintenance equipment. Even because Algiers is a large port in France, warships often dock in Algiers. , parts, technology, etc. are very sufficient).

Stationed in Tunisia are the German 200th Infantry Division and an engineer regiment transferred from Italy. Their main task is to build fortifications and coastal defenses on the border between Tunisia and Libya.

As for the strength of the troops... In fact, there is no need to worry at all. The German troops of several armored divisions of the entire African Corps will have withdrawn to this area.

Qin Chuan and others disembarked with Redel. A German officer with the rank of major general walked up to Redel amid the music of the military band, stood up and saluted: "Commander Neumann of the 200th Division! Welcome, Marshal. Wonderful." It’s a pity that I couldn’t witness the battle with my own eyes!”

Redl nodded towards Neumann and said with a smile: "No need to regret it, General, the Army played a big role in this battle!"

As he spoke, Leidel looked at Qin Chuan behind him.

Only then did Major General Neumann notice Qin Chuan, and then he suddenly realized: "This must be Lieutenant Frick!"

"Do you know him?" Reidel was a little surprised, and Qin Chuan was also a little surprised, because he was sure that he had never seen this Neumann.

"Of course!" Neumann took the initiative to lean over and shake hands with Qin Chuan: "After arriving in Africa, who doesn't know the 'Legendary Sergeant'?"

Qin Chuan suddenly realized that the Major General Neumann in front of him was not a simple person, because what he said just now indicated that he did not know Qin Chuan before, but he guessed Qin Chuan's identity based on some details, such as Redel's attention and Qin Chuan's military rank. .

Of course, this may not be difficult to guess, but it is enough to prove that Neumann is a person who pays attention to details and logical reasoning.

"Lieutenant, Lieutenant..." At this time, an air force second lieutenant was jumping around outside the cordon, waving his hat, trying to attract Qin Chuan's attention.

Qin Chuan looked in that direction and couldn't help but said in shock: "Marsaiu, why is he here?"

"Who?" Colonel Slain couldn't help but look surprised: "Are you talking about the pilot who shot down 17 planes in one day? Do you know him?"

"Is he here?" Reidel asked.

Qin Chuan raised his head to the air force second lieutenant who was jumping around like a kid grabbing a lollipop, and said, "That's it!"

Neumann looked unbelieving: "Lieutenant, have you made a mistake? The Air Force should return to the airport in Tunisia, and this is Bizerte!"

"I think so too!" Qin Chuan replied: "But he is Marcelo!"

"Let him in!" Neumann waved to the guard.

Then Marseille cheered and rushed up, hugged Qin Chuan enthusiastically, and said: "I knew you would be here. They said that the 'Legendary Sergeant' was on the 'Dunkirk', I I guess you’ll be here!”

"Your name, Lieutenant!" Raeder asked.

Marceliu couldn't help being stunned, and then replied: "Marceiu, sir! Half an hour ago, I shot down six torpedo attack planes for you in the sky. Oh, by the way, there is also a torpedo... I miss you. You must have seen me!”

Marseille has this kind of character. He focuses on shooting down the enemy's fighter planes, and is somewhat complacent about his military exploits, so he doesn't take his superiors seriously, even Marshal Redel. This is one of the reasons why he has such great military exploits but is still a second lieutenant.

At this time, the surrounding soldiers and people also knew that this young second lieutenant was the air combat legend Marceliu, so they spontaneously shouted Marceliu's name. Marceliu waved to the people on both sides with great enjoyment, like a star. .

Colonel Slain asked Qin Chuan in a low voice: "How do you know this guy..."

"Uh..." Qin Chuan didn't know how to answer.

Unexpectedly, Marceiu's ears were very sensitive, and pilots seemed to have eyes and ears to listen to all directions. After hearing this, he answered on his behalf: "Colonel, I can say without exaggeration that it was the lieutenant who taught me how to fight! "

Colonel Slain couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "You didn't tell me that you could still fight in the air!"

"I really don't know how!" Qin Chuan was a little innocent.

"Second Lieutenant!" Neumann asked Marceiu: "Aren't you supposed to be in Tunisia?"

"Yes!" Marceiu replied: "But you forgot, I have a plane!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Fighters don't just stop wherever they want. But there was nothing Marceliu couldn't do. He once parked his fighter plane on the road and caused a traffic jam, just for fun, and then took off from the road and flew away.

"Did your plane malfunction?" Major General Neumann asked again.

"No..." As soon as Marcelo blurted out these words, he immediately said, "Yes, my plane did not have enough fuel to go back, you know, so my comrades and I made an emergency landing here!"

"You and your comrades?" Major General Neumann asked.

"They are there!" Marceiu waved to several pilots at the cordon, and the pilots immediately responded excitedly.

Then Marseille pulled Qin Chuan aside and whispered: "Lieutenant, I am here this time... Actually, my comrades don't believe that I know the 'Legendary Sergeant', so..."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh and cry. This guy just wanted to prove to his comrades that he knew him, so he landed here in a fighter plane.

However, at Marseille's request, Qin Chuan still stepped forward to shake hands with several pilots one by one, and said: "Hello, I am the 'Legendary Sergeant', Marcele and I are friends!"
