The decisive battle against the Third Reich

In fact, Qinchuan's plan also has another advantage, that is, "making an impact in the east and attacking in the west."

This is similar to Rommel's "blessing in disguise" for disobeying orders: Hitler ordered Rommel to stay in place and not attack. This order was intercepted by the British army, so Weiweier judged that Rommel would not attack, but who knew that Rommel was chasing the British army all the way? The pursuit was so fierce that Mei Zhi had no intention of stopping.

Similarly, Rommel ordered Colonel Slain to defend Tengeter. After the British army got this news, they would think that the Germans would not be able to escape in Tengeter, so all plans were based on the German army being in Tengeter. Other places are simply unprepared.

How could they have imagined that Colonel Slaine was also a disobedient master, so the British would once again suffer a hidden loss because of their ability to decipher German codes.

Of course, Qin Chuan could not say this to Colonel Slaine, otherwise Qin Chuan would not be able to explain how he knew about the "super secret"... Even in the entire UK, no one who knew about this matter would be able to explain it. There will be more than ten.

That night, the 1st Infantry Regiment left Tengeter under the leadership of Colonel Slain.

In order to confuse the British army, Colonel Slane also left an infantry company in Tengeter.

This infantry company spread out in squad units in Tenertenge, firing shots outside the city from time to time, and sometimes firing a cannon.

They were ordered to hold on until the last moment, which was when the British army entered Tengeter... At this time, they were about to do the last thing: detonate the gasoline and ammunition in the warehouse.

As for how this company was withdrawn...no one said, it seemed like it was a trivial matter.

But Qin Chuan knew that this was no small matter, at least not for this company, because they were likely to stay in Tengeter forever.

This made Qin Chuan a little unable to adapt. How could an infantry company with more than a hundred people give up at the drop of a hat... But then Qin Chuan thought that this might be a common thing on the battlefield, because in battle There will always be situations in life where it is necessary to "sacrifice the small self and preserve the big self".

At this time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think: "What would happen if his own company was left behind to perform the 'final mission' in Tengeter?"

Qin Chuan didn't dare to think about it because he couldn't bear the consequences of this assumption. Qin Chuan couldn't help but look back at Tengger Tenle, who was still hearing gunshots behind him, and seemed to see several German soldiers bidding farewell to the photos of his wife and children in the dark.

This is war! Qin Chuan sighed.

The troops, led by scouts, left the city in the dark, silent and on foot.

The purpose of the ban was obvious, to prevent the British army from noticing.

However, the "ban" mentioned here is not as simple as it sounds. The order requires everyone to fill their own water bottles... When the water bottle is filled, it will not make a sound when walking. The two water bottles must be one on the left and one on the right. , items that may collide with each other and make noise must be wrapped in cotton cloth, etc. After being prepared, the soldiers were asked to walk back and forth individually to verify that they were qualified only if they met the standards.

The purpose of walking is actually the same as banning...if you get into a car, you will be exposed as soon as the car motor starts.

However, this will bring about a series of problems. How to carry supplies without a car?

Fortunately, the ammunition of the 1st Infantry Regiment was consumed in previous battles, especially the 105MM howitzers... Only three of them could be used normally during the bombing by British fighter planes. Colonel Slaine simply ordered them to be All stay in Tengeter.

If the howitzer is not carried, the ammunition of the light weapon can be distributed to the soldiers to carry with them. What makes Qin Chuan a little worried is that... even with all the ammunition, only 80 rounds of ammunition are allocated to the hands, plus the remaining ammunition from before , only ninety-three rounds in total. This amount of ammunition...is it enough for the troops to fight all the way down the supply line, and then capture Tobruk and hold it?

This is something we need to worry about in the future. Many people think that they can't walk very long in the desert like this.

This idea is certainly reasonable. The soldiers only have two bottles of water on them, which is barely enough for two days in normal times... If water consumption intensifies during a war, it may be consumed in a few hours.

But Colonel Slain said one thing: "If there is no water, go to the British to get it!"

This reminded Qin Chuan of the old song: "Without food and clothing, the enemy will come forward..."

Unexpectedly, Colonel Slaine also had such an ideological consciousness.

It's just that the German soldiers were very upset. This can be seen from the expressions on the faces of the surrounding soldiers... Although they didn't say anything because they couldn't talk at this time, at first glance it seemed to be nothing like usual. It’s different, but it feels like I’m a bit afraid of wolves and tigers behind.

About half an hour later, the troops successfully passed through the British blockade.

This is one of the benefits of fighting in desert areas... unlike other terrains, you only need to block a few strategic points or necessary roads, such as bridges, highlands, etc., to block the enemy. It can be done anywhere in the desert. They can all be passed through, but it is very difficult to block them and requires more troops.

After the ban was lifted, Werner, who had long been unable to hold himself in, took a few steps to catch up with Qin Chuan and asked in a low voice: "Sergeant, are we going in the wrong direction?"

"Why do you think so?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Shouldn't we go west back to Chile to join the main force?" Werner said and raised his head to the sky. There was a Polaris over there... Not long ago, Qin Chuan taught Werner to use it to identify the direction. .

"No, we didn't go wrong!" Qin Chuan replied.

"But we are obviously heading east!" Werner couldn't help but become a little anxious: "We are heading towards the enemy!"

"We are going to the east!" Qin Chuan replied in a low voice: "You are right, we are heading towards the enemy!"

Hearing this, the people around him all cast surprised glances at Qin Chuan.

In order to keep it secret, most of the soldiers did not know about the plan, even Kuhn... Only company-level officers knew about the plan, of course Qin Chuan was an exception.

"Sergeant!" Werner then asked: "I want to know why we are walking towards the enemy?"

"Perhaps..." Qin Chuan said, "The order will come soon!"

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, orders came from above: "Speed ​​up, target Tugla!"

"Tugra..." the baker who often looked at the map said, "God, we are indeed heading towards the enemy! In other words... we are attacking instead of retreating!"
