The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Qin Chuan and several of his men hurriedly laid mines and returned to the tunnel. Before they could get into the main tunnel, they heard the female officer nagging inside: "Why don't you turn on the lights? Oh, great, there are no lights here, you guys?" They threw me into a cave without lights! The one staying with me was a Frenchman! Who is the one who made the decision?"

"I am the commander here!" Qin Chuan walked in with his waist down, and while dimming the brightness of the kerosene lamp, he asked: "Is there any problem, Major?"

"Lieutenant!" the female major asked: "We...me to be precise, how long are we going to stay here?"

"It depends on the enemy's mood!" Qin Chuan found a shell box in the corner and sat down. The height of the tunnel was not high, and he didn't want to keep bending over.

"What do you mean?" the female major asked, "are you just here waiting for them to leave?"

"You can say that!" Qin Chuan nodded.

"God!" the female major said with an exaggerated expression: "You are soldiers, and you have so many subordinates. Why don't you take your subordinates and pick up rifles and go out to drive away those hateful British?"

"What a great idea!" Qin Chuan handed the rifle to the female major and said, "Ladies first, and you are still our commander!"

The soldiers laughed again.

"No, no, Lieutenant!" said the female major: "Don't you think it's stupid to wait here for the enemy to leave? They may never leave, but we will starve to death here. Think of your relatives and your children. …”

At this moment Qin Chuan knew the identity of the female officer in front of him.

"Are you that announcer?" Qin Chuan asked, "from the Propaganda Department?"

"Yes!" the female officer replied somewhat proudly: "I'm glad you recognized me. My name is Yulia!"

The soldiers couldn't help but let out a small cheer, and several whispered: "I knew it was her!"

Yulia gave them a star-like smile in return.

"Then, Yulia..."

"Call me sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

"What do you want to say?" Yulia seemed very satisfied with Qin Chuan's submission.

But he didn't expect Qin Chuan's next sentence to be: "I want to say, if you want to survive, you'd better put away the tricks you use to deal with the enemy, and then do as I say!"

"What did you say?" Yulia almost couldn't believe what she heard.

Just when she was staring and about to get angry, Qin Chuan covered her mouth.

Yulia instinctively grabbed Qin Chuan's hand and tried to break away. Qin Chuan simply took out a pistol and put it on her head. Now Yulia became honest. The two guards looked at her with helpless eyes, but the guards ignored her.

The reason was that there were footsteps outside the tunnel and a few faint commands.

"The British are coming!" Qin Chuan whispered to Yulia: "I let you go, but you are not allowed to speak. Deal?"

Yulia nodded.

Qin Chuan let go of his hand, but he was a little worried. He waved to the two guards and ordered: "Watch her and don't let her cause trouble. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lieutenant!" the guard agreed without thinking.

"Oh, great!" Yulia complained softly: "You are my people..."

"Major!" the guard interrupted Yulia: "You'd better shut up, this is related to the lives of all of us!"

Yulia wanted to say something else, but there was a "boom" explosion outside the tunnel, followed by several people howling like pigs, and one of them cursed loudly: "Damn German!"

Apparently, they stepped on an "S" type jumping mine.

But this does not relieve the tension of the soldiers in the tunnel, because they know that the mines outside the tunnel entrance are very limited and can be easily eliminated.

Sure enough, after a while, several explosions were heard outside the tunnel... It was the British using grenades to clear mines.

At this time, even Yulia, who had always been restless, turned pale with fright and dared not make any mistakes.

After a while, someone in the tunnel was heard shouting in blunt German: "Germans, come out, we know you are in there!"

"Oh, God!" Yulia couldn't help shouting: "They found us!"

The soldiers looked at Yulia as if they were idiots. How could the enemy not notice such a big tunnel? The problem is just that they don't know how many people are inside and what their situation is.

"We accept surrender!" the British troops outside continued to shout: "We have bread, water, canned beef, and other things you need... There is no hope and no meaning in hiding inside, come out and surrender!"

"Why don't you come in!" Qin Chuan shouted loudly in English: "Let me stab you a few times!"

The German soldiers couldn't help but chuckle, while the French soldiers were so nervous that they even lost their sense of humor.

"Shoot!" An order came from outside, followed by several gunshots, followed by the "click-click" sound of a series of machine guns.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but shout in time with the gunfire: "Oh, ah, I was shot, God! Help me!"

The German soldiers laughed again. The French soldiers seemed to be infected by the German soldiers, and the tense atmosphere in the tunnel eased a bit.

"Don't worry!" Werner explained to the still-unconscious Yulia: "The tunnel passage is curved, and their bullets cannot hit us!"

"Grenade!" As a cry came from outside, an explosion came from the tunnel.

"Similarly!" Werner continued: "Hand grenades do not pose a threat to us!"

"What if they come in?" Yulia asked.

Werner took the kerosene lamp and looked to the right and said, "Do you see that small tunnel?"

"Yes!"

"That leads to the sniper room!" Werner said: "We used several steel pipes to set up sniper holes there! That means we can hit them, but they can't do anything to us!"

Before he finished speaking, several gunshots were heard in the small tunnel, followed by screams at the entrance of the tunnel.

"Damn it! How did they do it?" Qin Chuan heard the British troops outside the tunnel yelling angrily.

People outside may find it a bit unbelievable, but in fact it is clear from the inside that it is just a few guns pointed at the entrance of the tunnel through sniper holes opened in steel pipes.

"So, they have only one way!" Werner said.

"What can I do?" Yulia asked.

"Blow up the tunnel entrance!"

"Will they?" Yulia was shocked when she heard this: "No, they won't do that!"

At this moment, a loud "boom" came from the tunnel... and the tunnel was completely separated from the outside world.
