The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"What choice?" Rommel asked Qin Chuan.

"The main checkpoint is the intersection three miles away!" Qin Chuan said.

"Yes!" Rommel replied: "The Americans have deployed thirty tanks there. In case of a fight... they only need to block these thirty tanks on the road, which will keep us busy for a while. !”

"Then we will prevent them from blocking the highway!" Qin Chuan said.

"How is this possible?" Major General Graf said: "As soon as they find out that we are attacking, I mean attacking with tanks, they will drive the tanks onto the road and prepare to fight!"

"Then blow them up before they find out!" Qin Chuan replied.

The officers couldn't help looking at each other after hearing this.

"You mean... sneak in?" Rommel asked.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "We can pretend to be British, just like the last time we attacked the airport!"

"Will they be alert this time?" Rommel was a little worried: "After all, he has the experience last time!"

"What can we do even if we are alert?" Qin Chuan said: "This is the junction between the British and American troops. It is not surprising that a group of British troops will appear! What's more... we can bring them some evidence!"

"What evidence?" Rommel asked strangely.

"Italians!" Qin Chuan said: "If the US military saw a group of British people escorting a group of Italian prisoners, would they still doubt the true identity of this group of British people?"

"You mean to ask a team of Italians to act with us?" Major General Neumann shook his head and said, "No, those Italians will harm us!"

"No, I didn't say let them act with us!"

"That's..." Neumann stopped talking in the middle of his sentence. He suddenly understood what Qin Chuan meant.

Rommel winked at the interpreter and said, "There is no need for an interpreter to tell General Guzzoni these words!"

"But..." the translator said with some embarrassment: "What should I translate?"

"You can say whatever you want!" Rommel replied calmly: "For example, you can tell him that we are talking about pasta!"

The officers couldn't help but laugh.

As expected, the translator told Lieutenant General Guzzoni just like that, and General Guzzoni nodded repeatedly and said: "If there is an opportunity, I would be happy to invite you to my home!"

These words only made Rommel and other officers dumbfounded.

"Then, Lieutenant!" Rommel continued: "Be more detailed!"

"First we need a batch of British military uniforms and equipment!" Qin Chuan said.

"That's not a problem! How many are needed?" Rommel asked.

Qin Chuan thought for a while and replied: "Since we want to quickly defeat an American division this time, we may need a regiment!"

Rommel turned around and said to his staff: "Contact Tunisia, organize a regiment of British military uniforms and equipment, and airlift them to Enna as quickly as possible!"

"Yes, General!"

"Then we will launch an attack on an Italian garrisoned town!" Qin Chuan looked at the map and said, "I think Delano is very suitable!"

"Uh-huh!" Rommel couldn't help but glance at General Guzzoni and said, "Then we have Italian prisoners!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said.

Colonel Slain couldn't help but ask: "Is this a real attack?"

"Of course!" Rommel said: "Because we need real prisoners!"

"But they are Italians!" Colonel Slain looked at Qin Chuan: "They are our allies!"

"Colonel!" Rommel replied: "I believe there won't be many casualties. We probably only need to fire a few shots into the air to let them know that the British are coming, and they will raise their hands and surrender!"

The officers couldn't help but laugh.

Rommel winked at Qinchuan, and Qinchuan continued: "Then, we will send these prisoners south through the British blockade, and then west along the highway to the US military station!"

Rommel nodded and said: "When the counterattack begins, that's the moment you launch the attack!"

"Yes!"

The officers nodded in agreement. One US division plus 60 "Shermans" might not be able to defeat them in a short time, but if a regiment of German troops could sneak in, that would be another matter!

Rommel looked at his watch, then raised his head and ordered: "Colonel Slain!"

"Yes, General!" Colonel Slaine stood up.

"Are you confident?" Rommel asked.

"Of course, General!" Colonel Slaine replied: "Only for the attack on Delano..."

Rommel patted Colonel Slain on the shoulder and said: "They are traitors, do you understand? They are probably already ready to surrender to the British, but you still regard them as allies?"

Colonel Slaine couldn't help but nodded when he heard this and said, "I understand, General!"

"Very good!" Rommel nodded with satisfaction and said, "You still have two and a half hours... military uniforms and equipment..."

As he spoke, Rommel turned his attention to the staff beside him.

"We'll be there in half an hour!" the staff officer replied, "Onna Airport!"

Rommel no longer hesitated and said to Colonel Slain: "Let's go to Enna Airport immediately!"

"Yes, General!" Colonel Slain stood up to Rommel and led Qin Chuan out of the headquarters.

Rommel and others stayed in the headquarters and continued to fool Lieutenant General Guzzoni.

"I admit that this is indeed a good plan!" Colonel Slain said when we got into the jeep: "But I can't believe that you would even think of attacking the Italian army!"

Qin Chuan just shrugged. He didn't want to explain anything in this regard. Some people might not be able to understand it, such as Colonel Slaine. He would think that this was not a matter of honor... At least the Italian army was still an ally of Germany at this time.

From this aspect, a considerable number of German officers still maintain the "chivalry spirit".

But unexpectedly, the next second, Colonel Slain said: "But I like it!"

"What?" Qin Chuan couldn't believe his ears.

"I like this plan!" Colonel Slain said: "Maybe you don't believe it, but I have wanted to teach those Italians a lesson for a long time, but I just couldn't find the chance. Today... we have a good excuse! "

After finishing, Colonel Slain said: "Italians, we are coming!"

Qin Chuan didn't know what to say when he heard this.

But this is actually normal. Just like Britain versus France versus the United States, allies, alliances, etc. are nothing in the face of national interests.

This is war. If you want to survive in war, you must learn this rule of "survival of the fittest".
