The decisive battle against the Third Reich

With a "boom", the ground shook and the mountains shook, followed by a burst of flames and thick smoke that rushed straight into Yunxiao. Oil barrels and broken iron pieces were shaken by the shock wave and flew everywhere and scattered around, some of which were still burning. Burning, bursts of black smoke emitted, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of burning and gasoline... This is the effect the engineers wanted to create.

"It's a pity that there are so many supplies and ammunition!" Alfredo looked at the smoke exploding in the distance behind the car that was gradually moving away, and said, "We may have to transport these supplies for half a month!"

"We have to do this!" said the baker. "Otherwise we will leave them to the British!"

"These are all British, aren't they?" Werner said: "So there is no pity, I just know that our truck can no longer load it!"

As he spoke, Werner patted the gasoline barrels piled in front: "Where are we going now?"

Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Qin Chuan.

"Maybe only the sergeant knows!" Werner said.

"No, I don't know!" Qin Chuan replied.

This is the truth. Qin Chuan really doesn't know, but he will find out soon.

Because at this time Kuhn received a call, and then said to Qin Chuan:

"Sergeant, the general wants you to go to his command vehicle!"

The soldiers looking at Qin Chuan at this time could not be described as "envy, jealousy and hatred"... Now the people who called Qin Chuan directly by name were not colonels but generals.

"General!" When Qin Chuan boarded the command vehicle, he was not surprised to see Colonel Sline and Colonel Albridge.

"Sergeant!" Seeing Qin Chuan come in, General Strain warmly greeted Qin Chuan to sit down.

"We are discussing where to march. You are welcome to join us!" General Strain said.

"I'm not used to fighting like this!" Colonel Olbridge said: "It makes me feel like a homeless waif!"

Qinchuan understood what Colonel Olbridge meant. Previous battles were carried out according to the strategies formulated by Rommel and the command, and the strategic intentions were very clear. Every officer below knew what they were going to do. .

Especially before, the 21st Armored Division had maintained contact with Rommel's headquarters and had been receiving orders. Therefore, as the commander of the 21st Armored Division, he usually did not need to think about where he should go, only how to go or how to fight.

But now...

The 21st Armored Division was suddenly free. In order to hide their whereabouts, they could not even contact Rommel's headquarters. Of course, part of the reason for this was that General Strike did not accept Rommel's orders.

So the 21st Armored Division was like a force separated from the Afrika Korps, which made people a little uncomfortable, like a child who had just entered society and could make his own decisions.

"We should think so, Colonel Albridge!" General Strike continued: "We are free now, which means that the British cannot figure out our intentions, and it is also difficult to find us. This is what they The biggest worry. Therefore, they must always worry that we will suddenly appear from behind and attack!”

"Do the British believe it?" Colonel Slane asked.

Although this was not stated in detail, everyone could understand that Colonel Slain was talking about whether Sidioma's arrangement had deceived the British.

In fact, this is the key point, because only if the British believe it, it will make sense for the German army to plan the next step.

"I haven't got the news yet!" General Strike replied.

General Strike deployed several scouts to conduct reconnaissance in West Dioma. Of course, these scouts did not know the truth, so they would not reveal anything even if they were captured by the British army.

At this time, Major General Bolton, commander of the 7th Armored Division, had arrived at Sidioma. What he saw was a large crater that had been blown up, and gasoline barrels that were burnt black and smoking black were scattered everywhere. Dioma only found more than 200 British prisoners with their hands tied and their mouths gagged, as well as a few corpses... The difference from before was that the Germans did not shoot these prisoners, and of course they would not take them away. Walk.

In fact, General Strike's real intention of keeping these prisoners was to make them indirect witnesses of "the supplies were blown up", because all of them saw the flames reaching into the sky and felt the shock from the explosion.

The British army rescued these prisoners, but when they were free and able to speak, they all cursed: "Go to hell, we were betrayed by our own people!"

"We were taken advantage of!"

"We fell victim, and I wonder whose idea it was?"

…

What they said is correct, they were indeed exploited to a certain extent.

They were stationed in Sidioma but they didn't know that Sidioma had British supplies buried there. For this reason, they had to face interrogation by the Germans. In the end, they learned the truth from the Germans, which made them feel like they had been deceived. Feel.

If it were a colonial army, such as the 1st South African Division or the 6th Australian Infantry Division, it would be understandable to do so, but they are British troops and British... The British are troops with human rights and dignity, and they are superior How could someone else be sacrificed on the battlefield like this?

"I just want to know one thing!" Major General Burton walked up to the group of soldiers and asked, "Which direction are the Germans going?"

"Sorry, General!" the British captain replied with a disdainful expression: "I only know that you are late. They blew up the supplies and you got nothing!"

Then a British soldier continued: "Oh, that explosion was really earth-shattering, wasn't it? That was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard!"

"For the first time, I think the Germans did a good job!"

…

Major General Burton ignored them and did not care about these soldiers, because he knew that these soldiers had gone through hell and now they were fearless and only wanted to find justice for the "unequal treatment" they had received.

So Major General Burton just gave these British soldiers a cold look and ordered the guards to take them down.

When the British soldiers were led down, many people spit on the ground in protest.

Major General Burton did not take this to heart. He walked back to the communication vehicle and sent a telegram to the headquarters: "General, we guessed wrong. The Germans did not choose to stay. They blew up the supplies and left!"

"What?" General Auchinleck couldn't help but be stunned when he received the telegram. This was completely unexpected.

But it didn't seem to be an accident, because he was almost used to such accidents.

Then General Auchinleck called back: "Find them, they can't go far, I will send air power to cooperate with you!"

"Yes, General!" Major General Bolton replied.
