The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Brothers, the recruits are well! Soldiers will also work hard to update in the new year, and everyone is welcome to send in piles of monthly passes!

Although Major General Burton did not hope that things would turn out as he hoped, the situation worsened... Anti-tank mines appeared on the road, and there were quite a lot of them. Several "Shermans" had been blown up by anti-tank mines. A pile of scrap metal.

This was simply a nightmare for the 7th Armored Division, because it meant that they had to have the scouts detect mines ahead and detect whether there were rocket launcher shooters on the roadside, so the marching speed of the 7th Armored Division became exponentially slower. down.

In the end, Montgomery realized that it was unrealistic to bring all the tanks back. It would only cause the 7th Armored Division to be blocked in Tunisia and never come out.

So Montgomery changed his mind that night and ordered the 7th Armored Division to blow up the tank, transfer all personnel, including the tank crew, to cars and change the marching route to return quickly.

This move turned out beautifully.

The reason is that the German army needs to lay mines or ambush rocket launcher shooters on the route that the 7th Armored Division is about to pass in advance. If the British tanks are traveling at the speed, the German army will have to rush to deploy.

However, the British army all took the car and suddenly changed their route to avoid the distance... The German army did not react for a while and was left behind and had no time to arrange.

This action of the British army actually took a great risk.

The reason why the German army has never ambushed the British 7th Armored Division on a large scale is because of the firepower and defense of the "Sherman". But now they abandoned the "Sherman" and marched in the form of pure infantry... once they were blocked by the German army. Going there would probably result in the entire army being annihilated.

The British army was lucky. The main force of the German army was all distributed along the Gabes defense line. Only an infantry regiment was active on the Gafsa road. In the end, they failed to catch up with the British army who fled in a hurry.

But before the British army left, they once again staged the Tobruk scene... blowing up their own tanks. Different from blowing up the "Matilda" tank before, this time they blew up a tank with excellent performance. There are 139 "Sherman" tanks in total.

Of course Qin Chuan in the tunnel didn't know this.

In fact, after the tunnel defense battle started, it became easier for those hiding in the tunnel... Before the battle started, everyone could only stay in the tunnel in a daze. After the battle started, at least there was some fun, such as using cigarettes. The banker bets on how many people will die in the next British attack, and another example is taking turns to enter the sniper room for sniping.

Originally, Qin Chuan thought that an active person like Werner would be in pain in the tunnel. What he didn't expect was that active people would find their own fun no matter where they go. For example, at this time, he and Keller caught him separately. A group of scorpions were fought and played in a "luxury" arena surrounded by wooden boards.

Werner also named the two scorpions: one was called Montgomery and the other was called the Legendary Sergeant.

So Werner shouted there: "Come on, legendary sergeant, defeat it! Bite it!"

"I heard it, Werner!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded when he heard the cry.

Werner raised his head and saw Qin Chuan. There was a flash of embarrassment in his eyes before he replied: "Sorry, Lieutenant! I bet that the legendary sergeant will win. You should ask Keller, he bet on Montgomery to win!"

With a "coax" sound, the soldiers couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Lieutenant!" the baker reported: "bad news, we don't have much food left!"

"Yeah!" Qin Chuan nodded, as he expected.

Originally, only a week's worth of food was prepared in the tunnel, but now nine days have passed.

"How much water is left?" Qin Chuan asked.

"There's enough water to last us another five days!" the baker replied.

"So..." Qin Chuan said: "When we go out to cause trouble for the British tonight, you should collect more food from the British. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

However, Qin Chuan soon discovered that this was actually not necessary, because the communications soldier had already ran to Qin Chuan and said: "Lieutenant, the British have retreated!"

"What?" the baker asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" the signal soldier replied: "It's absolutely true. The British have all withdrawn from Gafsa. We have won!"

"victory!"

The soldiers cheered loudly and hugged each other. If it weren't for the low height of the tunnel, they would have jumped up again.

Werner couldn't wait to dig out the entrance of the tunnel that was once again blown up by the British army. He carefully leaned out and took a look, and then cheered: "Yes, they retreated, and we defeated them again!"

The soldiers got out of the tunnel excitedly, and Qin Chuan was one of them.

The moment I saw the sun, I really felt like seeing the sun again. Since I came to this world, I have never been so happy when I saw the sun.

Groups of German soldiers emerged from their respective tunnels one after another. All of them were disheveled, but their faces were full of joy, pride and excitement. Some even knelt on the ground and cried with joy...

Qin Chuan can understand their feelings. This is a battle different from usual. Although the First Infantry Regiment has experienced hundreds of battles, they have never stayed in the tunnel and endured such psychological torture like this time. , everyone who has experienced it knows that it is a challenge in itself.

"I think I should thank you, Lieutenant!" Yulia walked up to Qin Chuan.

"I don't think you have anything to thank me for!" Qin Chuan expressed doubts: "If you are referring to this war... I have to do this!"

"No, it's not just this!" Yulia replied: "I learned something, although I'm not sure what it is, but I believe this experience is very useful to me!"

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Then it's time for you to go back to Berlin!"

"No!" Yulia replied with a smile: "I think I will choose to stay here!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan was a little confused: "This place is not suitable for you!"

"Who knows?" Yulia looked at Qin Chuan and said, "Maybe this place is suitable for me!"

"Lieutenant!" At this time, Colonel Slain waved to Qinchuan a few meters away and shouted: "General Rommel wants to see you!"

"See you later!" Qin Chuan said to Yulia.

"See you later!" Yulia gave Qin Chuan a smile.

When Qin Chuan and Colonel Slaine walked together, Colonel Slaine patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and sighed: "You know? You are amazing!"

"Please, Colonel!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Colonel Slain said: "I have never praised a person like this, but... I think that the French army will never become an army, and I also think that the tunnel will only become a trap. I can't defeat the enemy by myself, but now I know that nothing is impossible in your hands!"
