The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"The reason is very simple!" Major General Hartmann said: "The main task of the security division is to maintain security and deal with guerrillas. Although there are dangers, the dangers are much less. You don't think that if someone like you died on the battlefield, it would be A loss to the Empire? You could have made a greater contribution to the Empire!"

Qin Chuan finally understood what Major General Hartman said. Hartman wanted to lure Qin Chuan into the security division to become his subordinate.

Without waiting for Qin Chuan to answer, Hartman continued: "As long as you are willing, I will consider other matters. I will not even let your comrades think this is a shame..."

"Sorry, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "If you have investigated my affairs, you should know that all the suggestions I made are for combat. In other words, if it were in another place or another way, I might It becomes ordinary!”

This is of course not true. Qin Chuan knows too many strategies and tactics of guerrilla warfare, so there will be no difficulty in dealing with the guerrillas.

but……

God, in addition to dealing with guerrillas, the police force also had unarmed civilians and Jews. Qin Chuan was very sure that he would not associate with such people, even though they were indeed safer, had a higher status, and were trusted by Hitler.

"No, Captain!" Hartman shook his head and said: "These are not questions. Gold will shine wherever it is. I firmly believe this. You don't need to answer me right away. I mean...any time, you want to To come to my unit, just tell me, okay?"

"Okay, General!" Qin Chuan replied.

But of course, he had no intention of doing so.

It will be more troublesome to return to the battalion headquarters from the regiment headquarters... At this time, the battalion headquarters is located underground, and the surface has been occupied by the Soviet army. When returning, you need to drill one cellar and one passage, and then another cellar and one passage. .

Along the way, when the German soldiers saw Qinchuan and Gerhard, they stood up and saluted them, especially Qinchuan. No matter where he went, he was greeted by a group of admiring eyes. During this period, someone even asked Qin Chuan for his autograph...

It was a young corporal. When Qin Chuan got into the third cellar, he mustered up the courage to stop Qin Chuan who was about to get into the tunnel.

"Captain!" The corporal walked up to Qin Chuan with a notebook and a pen and asked, "Can I waste a little time and sign your name for me?"

"Soldier!" Gerhard, who was walking in front, was a little dissatisfied: "This is a battlefield. Do you know that you are wasting the captain's time?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!" The corporal quickly stepped forward to express his acceptance of this criticism.

"No, Lieutenant Colonel!" Qin Chuan said, taking the notebook and pen from the corporal's hand, signing his name and casually asking: "I want to know why you want my signature!"

"Because you are my role model, Captain!" the corporal stood up and said, "In fact, you are the idol of our town. Everyone is talking about you. If I am lucky enough to go back, I want to tell them that I was with you I fought! They will be proud of me!”

Qin Chuan returned the signed notebook and pen to the corporal, and then patted him on the shoulder: "You will definitely be able to go back alive, and we will win the final victory!"

"Yes, Captain!" the corporal replied excitedly: "I have no doubt about it!"

Then the matter got out of hand, and the soldiers next to them handed over their notebooks one after another... German soldiers all had a certain level of literacy, and it was not uncommon for them to have pens and notebooks with them even during combat.

When Qinchuan and Gerhard finally got back into the tunnel again, Gerhard complained: "Captain, you shouldn't pay attention to them, we have more important things to do, don't we?"

"Do you think this is a waste of time?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Is not it?"

"I think you must know General Rommel!" Qin Chuan said.

"Of course!" Gerhard said: "But what does this have to do with General Rommel?"

"General Rommel often does this!" Qin Chuan said: "He has the entire African Army to command and a large number of documents to review. He only has a few hours or even less time to sleep every day, but he always takes some time to sleep. Time to chat with the soldiers, like just now..."

Gerhard couldn't help but say "oh".

"So!" Qin Chuan continued: "Only the African Legion can explode with amazing combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and this is exactly when we need this!"

"You are right, Captain!" Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard admitted defeat: "Now, can we talk about the Lovaj River defense line?"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.

In fact, there is nothing much to talk about in the Lovati River defense line. They just continue to dig tunnels to the west under the cover of gunfire and artillery fire.

The only problem here is that there is no room to pour out the new soil.

In the past, this problem was not a problem at all. Xintu could fall outside the tunnel in minutes.

But now that the outside world is full of Soviets, the enemy will soon find out if they attack the new soil nearby and they will be bombed.

Although this is only a small problem, if the small problem is not solved, it will lead to a big problem...the cellar or passage will be blocked by new soil.

The solution was to mobilize the German soldiers in each cellar, pass the new soil out bucket by bucket, all the way to the surface controlled by the Germans, and then pour the new soil out.

This was a task that tested the cooperation of the German soldiers. Fortunately, the German soldiers never lacked cooperation, so the entire task was completed smoothly.

There was only one accident in the whole process. A tunnel was dug until a crater several meters deep was discovered by the Soviets.

This made Qin Chuan and others sweat. If the Soviets discovered their actions and were prepared, something bad would happen... It is actually very easy to defend against digging tunnels. You only need to dig a few meters down. Deep trenches can block tunnels in the middle.

If it doesn't work, just bury a water tank or something underground and listen carefully. You will always hear some sounds in the tank and judge the direction. These have been used in trench warfare during World War I.

However, the Russians performed poorly in World War I. They exited World War I early because of the October Revolution, so they did not have much experience in trench warfare in World War I. Even if he had any experience in trench warfare, he was probably wiped out in the great purge. . (Note: It was Russia during World War I, and the Soviet Union was not established until 1922, four years after the war)

In addition, the Soviets were very sloppy, so they habitually blew up the tunnel and sealed the entrance.
