The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Of course, this separation is not a loss of contact in the actual sense. The German soldiers immediately tested the radio in the tunnel, and the reply they received was "Everything is normal!".

The only one who was abnormal was Yulia. She shouted nervously: "They blew up the entrance to the tunnel. They really blew up the entrance to the tunnel. We can't get out. God... we are going to die here! Let go." Drive me, I want to go out..."

"You can't go anywhere, Major!" With that said, Qin Chuan ignored her and crawled back into his tunnel through the passage with a flashlight on his waist.

The waiting time in the tunnel was long and boring. In order not to waste too much air, the soldiers had to light as few kerosene lamps as possible or keep the kerosene lamps in a darker burning state. Of course, another reason is that kerosene is also valuable to the German army.

Qinchuan is better, because he can know the situation outside the tunnel through radio... Gafsa's spies will transmit the layout and movements of the British army to the tunnel through radio.

As a result, Qin Chuan knew that the British army had seriously underestimated the role of the tunnel as expected. They even thought that as long as they blew up the entrance of the tunnel, the Germans hiding inside would be sealed in and suffocated and starved. Die or be bored to death.

Therefore, the British army only arranged one infantry battalion to be stationed on Highland Zero. They deployed their troops more on two highlands a few kilometers away from Highland Zero, one on the left and one on the right.

According to conventional combat methods, there is no problem with this arrangement.

The British army opened a gap in the German defense line. If the German army wanted to counterattack, they would compress towards this gap from both wings, so guarding the two wings could block the German attack.

However, the British army did not realize that this was not a conventional battle. There was an entire regiment of German troops in the tunnel, and the British army in the ground position was not enough to fill their teeth.

In other words, this British infantry battalion was actually sitting on a bomb without knowing it.

Eisenhower was also worried about this. He said to Montgomery: "We don't know how many Germans survived in the tunnels. If at a certain moment, such as in the dark, they came out of the tunnels again..."

"Don't worry, Ike!" Montgomery replied confidently: "After blowing up the tunnel entrances, we marked them and laid mines. Not only that, we also arranged sentries! If someone comes out, they will found!"

"Very good!" Montgomery's words reassured Eisenhower.

"I don't know what these Germans are thinking!" Montgomery said: "Why do they think they can win this war by hiding underground? This is ridiculous!"

Of course, Montgomery couldn't understand this, because he couldn't imagine what preparations the Germans had made in the tunnel, just like he didn't know that the German tunnel had several exits.

But Montgomery discovered this a few days later.

Of course, that's a story later.

Qin Chuan felt more at ease after learning about the deployment of British troops. It seemed that all he needed to do now was wait.

Just when Qin Chuan was about to lie down and take a nap, Venette got into Qin Chuan's "room".

"Lieutenant!" Venette sat in front of Qin Chuan, breathing a little quickly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan asked.

"They want to know how many days we will stay in the tunnel!" Vinette said: "Many people think the major is right!"

"Major?" Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered Yulia: "What do you think she said is right?"

"It's pointless for us to stay in the tunnel!" Vinette said: "Some people advocate a breakout!"

"What about you?" Qin Chuan asked, "What do you think?"

Venet suddenly laughed and replied: "Okay, I admit, I just want to get this opportunity..."

Qin Chuan couldn't help but hugged Vinette into his arms. A faint fragrance hit his nose, and Vinette's breathing quickened.

This may be the advantage of being in a tunnel. The light and dark space is relatively closed, which allows Qin Chuan to have a rare private space.

However, that's just one thing. Because the space is too small, there are no doors in the tunnels, and there are other people using the passages.

After a while, a flashlight flashed at the door, and Venette hurriedly broke away from Qin Chuan's arms.

"Okay!" Qin Chuan said to Venette, "Go back and tell them, I'll be here right away!"

"Yes, sir!" Venette responded while arranging her messy hair and shirt, then hurriedly tapped Qin Chuan's lips and ran away with a smile.

After sorting out the documents and calming down, Qin Chuan went back along the passage.

At this time, there was already a lot of discussion in the main tunnel, and everyone fell silent as soon as Qin Chuan arrived.

"You're finally here, Lieutenant!" said the baker, "otherwise they'll overturn this place!"

Qin Chuan turned his attention to the crowd, and when he saw Yulia, he noticed a proud look on her face.

Obviously, she was complacent about her success in bewitching these French soldiers.

It should be said that what Yulia said made sense.

Without a plan, staying in the tunnel is really just waiting to die. Yulia took advantage of this but also their fear of death...after all, she was from the Propaganda Department.

"Well done, Major!" Qin Chuan said to Yulia: "You successfully created a little trouble for me!"

"Maybe more than a little!" Yulia replied: "They agree with me!"

"Really?" Qin Chuan turned around and asked the French soldier: "Who?"

None of the French soldiers answered.

"Lieutenant!" said Baudoin. "We just want to know what your plans are?"

"Yeah, we wonder if we're here to die!"

…

"I know!" Qin Chuan said: "I know that you don't trust the Germans, and you don't believe that Germany will win this war. Many of you are still hesitating whether it is worth paying your lives for this war..."

After glancing at the French soldiers, Qin Chuan continued: "I think this is the main reason why you have been worried and performed poorly on the battlefield. But you will soon find out that you are wrong!"

After a pause, Qin Chuan continued: "Do you want to know the plan? Or want to know how long you will stay here? I can't tell you, you know the reason. What I can tell you is... we will win this war. If you are waiting to die here, I am still here! If anyone wants to follow this woman to die, please, you can save some food for us!"

Of course, Qinchuan couldn't tell these French soldiers the plan. This was a tunnel, and there were many invisible tunnel entrances. At some point, a few French soldiers would secretly dig an invisible tunnel entrance and surrender to the British army with a combat plan. .
