The decisive battle against the Third Reich

While the British army received the "Sherman" tanks and conducted intensive training, Qin Chuan, Rommel and others were still worried about the Greek militia.

"The militia has a lot of weapons!" General Strike said: "The most troublesome thing is the explosives. They secretly brought explosives into the factory and blew up our machines. It is even difficult for us to find out who did it!"

Qin Chuan can understand this. Many of the Greek militia are veterans who have received formal military training. They only need to install a simple timing device for the explosives, and they can calmly put the package containing explosives in an inconspicuous corner of the factory. When they leave, there will be a "boom".

"Fortunately..." General Strike said: "Our arsenal strictly uses prisoners isolated from the outside world, and the defense is tight, so it has not been affected for the time being. The steel plant is not immune. The No. 1 blast furnace was blown up and the No. 2 blast furnace was damaged. It will take several days to repair."

Because the blast furnace ironmaking process is simple and the output is large, most countries use this ironmaking method.

On the other hand, the German army could not meet the rapidly increasing demand for bullets and shells on the battlefield due to insufficient copper production, so it mass-produced steel-shell bullets and shells (the same was true for the Soviet Union), which also led to a sharp increase in demand for iron.

"Didn't you check the village?" Rommel asked.

"Of course!" General Strike replied: "But it's easy to imagine that the check will not yield any results. They won't tell us where the guerrillas or explosives are hidden!"

"Where did they get the explosives?" Rommel asked.

"It was the British!" Colonel Slaine said: "They used transport planes to carry out airborne operations at night, and also submarine transportation!"

"We got intelligence from the prisoners!" General Strike said: "They have a base on Mount Iji, which was their preparation for retreating from mainland Greece to Crete a few months ago. The militia stored food and some equipment there. I believe they will hide the explosives there, but not many people know the detailed location of the base!"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Slaine turned his attention to Qin Chuan.

"Second Lieutenant!" Colonel Slain said, "I remember you once captured a militia major. I believe she should know the location of the stronghold!"

General Strike nodded: "Their commander is a colonel, and this prisoner is a major. This rank is enough to know more intelligence!"

"It won't work!" Qin Chuan replied: "This major won't say anything. Major Kleiman has interrogated her many times, but nothing has been learned!"

The officers were silent after hearing this. They had seen the backbone of the Greek militia. They also successfully captured several militias, but these militias would rather die in torture than surrender.

"These Greeks are incredible!" Rommel frowned and said, "Greece has surrendered, what are they still holding on to?"

Rommel, a European, seemed to find it difficult to understand this. Even before the war, the German army thought that the Greeks on Crete would welcome the German landing.

But as an Asian, Qin Chuan thought it was normal, because most Asian countries were like this, except for Thailand, a fence-sitter.

Greece in World War II was the most Asian country among European countries, which may be related to their Athenian and Spartan cultures.

After thinking for a while, Qin Chuan said: "It's impossible to make her confess, but it may be possible to let her lead the way!"

"Lead the way?" Colonel Slain smiled: "If she won't confess, will she still be willing to lead the way for us?"

General Strike and Rommel also looked at Qin Chuan with doubtful eyes.

Qin Chuan nodded and replied: "Why not give it a try, we have no better way!"

Eunice was arranged to produce shells in the bullet factory... A "dangerous" prisoner like her would not be allowed to come into contact with gunpowder and other work that could cause damage.

This day, Eunice worked as usual until another batch of prisoners came to take over.

After the routine body search, Eunice walked towards the dormitory under the escort of several Italian soldiers.

Just after a few steps, Eunice looked vigilantly to her right... There was a jungle outside the barbed wire, and Eunice noticed that someone was hiding in it.

Eunice couldn't help but get nervous.

She was almost certain that the people hiding in the jungle were Greek militiamen, because no one else would need to do this except them.

She was nervous because she was not sure what the Greek militiamen's intentions were... Were they here to kill her, a traitor?

After thinking about it, Eunice thought that the Greek militiamen would not completely believe that she had become a traitor just because of a few words shouted by the Germans. Moreover, if she was a traitor, she would not do hard labor here anymore.

Or... Eunice thought of a possibility: They were worried that she would give out more important information, so they sent someone to kill her? !

Thinking of this, Eunice couldn't help but sigh, took off her hat and revealed her blonde hair, and then walked to the most conspicuous side. She was worried that the militiamen would shoot someone by mistake because it was dark and couldn't see her position clearly.

Then Eunice waited, waiting for the gunshot that would end her life.

With a "bang", the gunshot rang out.

But it was not Eunice who fell, an Italian soldier covered his chest and slowly fell down.

Then there was another explosion, and the entire barbed wire was blown up into the sky. In the smoke and darkness, someone shouted, "Run, Eunice, the colonel sent us to rescue you!"

Eunice was stunned when she heard this, and then without saying a word, she ran towards the gap in the exploded barbed wire fence. The prisoners also rushed towards the barbed wire fence with screams.

The Italian soldiers hurriedly raised their guns and fired, but they could not stop the rush of people. Suddenly there were gunshots and shouts everywhere, and the factory was in chaos.

Eunice moved quickly and ran into the jungle in a few steps. Inside, there were several people relying on the cover of tree trunks to shoot at the Italian army.

One of them threw a rifle to Eunice and shouted: "Retreat, we take cover!"

Eunice looked back and saw a group of Italian soldiers rushing in this direction, so she didn't dare to say anything, turned around and ran into the jungle.

There was only one gunshot from behind, and occasionally there were a few screams and the explosion of grenades. Then the gunfire became weaker and weaker, and stopped after a while.

Eunice looked back. She couldn't bear to let her comrades die for her, but at the same time she knew that she could not fall into the hands of the Italians again, otherwise her comrades would have died in vain. More importantly, she knew The information may also fall into the hands of the enemy.

Soon, several flashlights flashed from behind and the Italians shouted angrily, so Eunice turned around and ran towards the depths of the jungle without any further hesitation.
