Qin Chuan didn't even tell the French battalion that they were about to hide in the tunnel for a week...... Qin Chuan thought that this would frighten them, as for the day when they really wanted to hide in the tunnel, under the threat of death, hiding in the tunnel might not be as terrible as they imagined.

So, all they knew was that buckets of water, as well as boxes of food, ammunition, medicine, and other necessities, were stored in the tunnels at the behest of the German soldiers.

At the same time, detachments of soldiers were withdrawn from the front line, both German and Italian.

The German troops were much more decent than the Italians, and although their uniforms were also tattered, the neat formation and the murderous aura that had not yet had time to be dissipated were unintentionally revealed in the movements...... At first glance, it is different from the Italian troops.

As the 21st Panzer Division passed by the foot of the hill, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Corps couldn't help but cheer on the top of the hill.

It didn't take long for the officers and men of the 21st Panzer Division to recognize it as the first corps in their unit...... During World War II, the flags of the German army can be said to be varied, and the German army during this period also liked to fly flags, parades, celebrations, soldiers' triumphs, etc., flags would be hung everywhere, and the army was no exception.

Of course, the flags of the army have a certain meaning, but most of them have no specific design rules. Many of the symbols are based on the number of the unit or the preference of the commander, and there have even been cases where soldiers improvise them; There are also some places that have participated in campaigns in a certain area and use place names as the symbol of the unit.

The 21st Panzer Division is marked by a pyramid-like yellow triangle...... Because they had occupied Egypt, their goal was Cairo, the capital, although this goal was not achieved.

As part of the 21st Panzer Division, the emblem of the First Infantry Corps was a stick figure in a yellow triangle of an infantry striding forward with a rifle on his back.

As a result, as long as the two sides wave their flags, they will know what kind of troops the other side is at the first time.

The Germans of the 21st Panzer Division also cheered at their comrades on the mountain, the soldiers in the cars stood up and waved their hands, the officers in the tanks opened the hatches and leaned out to salute, and even the wounded sat up on stretchers......

Looking at the cars and tanks passing by the road, as well as the energetic German soldiers, Qin Chuan suddenly felt a sense of pride, although he knew that this pride was a little inexplicable.

"God!" Stefan looked at the German lineup and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded: "You have so many tanks with such a force, why do you have to retreat?" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile and didn't answer, it was because he didn't see how many tanks the British had, and he didn't know what kind of existence the "Sherman" tank was at this time.

But they'll find out soon.

A few days later, a British Mosquito reconnaissance plane flew over the high ground, and then a few artillery shots were heard from time to time.

"Any idea what that means?" Qin Chuan, who was eating lunch, asked casually.

"What?" Vignette took a bite of the bread and asked, "Are the British going to come and snatch our bread, or do they think our baked potatoes are delicious?" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

"No!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's the British cannonballs that are coming!" ”

Winette was a little puzzled: "Are you talking about those cannon shots?" ”

"The enemy's gunners are far from us!" QIN CHUAN SAID WHILE NIBBLING ON BREAD: "THIS SHOULD BE THE AMERICAN M7 105MM SELF-PROPELLED GUN, IT HAS A RANGE OF 11 KM, SO THEY CAN'T SEE US, BUT ......"

Saying that, Qin Chuan raised his head towards the reconnaissance plane in the sky: "Their reconnaissance plane can see it." ”

"And then?"

"Then ......" Qin Chuan opened the kettle and took a sip of water, and then said: "They will try to shoot a few shots at the target, and the reconnaissance machine will notify the gunner by radio...... Your shells deviate from the target by a certain amount, and the artillery will shoot a few more shots after correcting the Zhu Yuan, and the reconnaissance plane will tell them whether it hit the target or not! Wait until they finally hit the target......"

Speaking of this, Vinette couldn't help but show a sudden expression of realization: "More of their shells will follow!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.

"So why are we still here?" Stefan asked, "We should hide in the tunnel!" ”

"Didn't you hear what the lieutenant said?" Baudouin responded: "They have to keep hitting the target until the shells hit the target, otherwise no shells will come!" ”

Venete smiled: "It seems that the British gunners are not very clever, because they have not hit the target yet!" ”

"No!" Qin Chuan said: "You should say that their reconnaissance planes are not professional enough!" ”

This has nothing to do with the gunner, but more with the fact that the pilot failed to guide correctly. However, not every pilot on a reconnaissance aircraft was a qualified artillery observer.

At that moment, several shells whistled in the sky, and then several shells exploded on the road at the foot of the mountain.

The French soldiers were so frightened that they hid in the pit without saying a word, and only Vignette was munching on baked potatoes next to Qin Chuan.

"Why didn't you hide in the pit like they did?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Because you're still here!" "Not nervous at all, and they're ...... too"

As she spoke, she raised her head at the German soldiers who were still eating their lunches, and the German soldiers even secretly let out a burst of laughter.

"You're scaring them, Lieutenant!" Alfredo said.

"Look what they've lost!" Werner looked at the bread, potatoes, kettles and even rifles abandoned by the French soldiers on the ground, and smiled: "God, they almost didn't leave the grenades here!" ”

"You should be glad they didn't pull the strings!" The baker said.

The German soldier couldn't help but laugh again.

The French soldiers seemed to realize something, and one by one cautiously returned to their positions.

"So!" Stefan asked Qin Chuan: "Lieutenant, what you just said was a lie to us?" Just a joke? ”

"No!" Qin Chuan replied: "That's not a joke! ”

"Then why ......"

"You just haven't finished listening!" Qin Chuan replied: "We are on the anticline of the heights, and the enemy's artillery is far away from us!" ”

Seeing that the French soldiers were still a little confused, Werner pointed to the top of the hill and said, "Look over there, valiant soldiers...... It's going to help us stop the shells from the British, you know? To put it simply, we are in the dead end of the enemy's artillery fire! ”

Alfredo added: "Even if there are shells that can fly from the top of the mountain, they will go over us and hit us far because of the distance and small angle!" ”
