Chapter 262: Fate
It didn't take much effort for Eunice to shake off her pursuers, after all, she had grown up in this forest and knew everything here, and she even walked a few miles in the stream so that the Italians could not track her scent.
Then Eunice walked around the mountains a few more times, and after making sure that no one was following her, she went straight to the stronghold of the Ijishan militia.
It's just that what Eunice doesn't know is that it is not those Italians who are following her, but German professional snipers, and these snipers are even hiding in the trees near Mount Eddy first, so Eunice's every move is actually under the sight of the Germans.
This is a bit ironic for Qin Chuan...... Not long ago, he told the snipers not to hide in trees, and now they need to do so soon.
However, this should not be confused, sniping and tracking are two different things.
After a night of tossing and turning, Eunice did not enter a hidden mountain path until dawn the next day...... The reason why it is said to be a hidden mountain road is because it is not a road at all: it is a fork in the main road, and this fork is blocked by a pile of bushes, and anyone who walks in front of this road will take it for granted that there is only one road, and only when you bravely squeeze into it through the bushes do you realize that there is actually a road inside.
Colonel Dennis was looking at a map in a cave that could accommodate more than 500 people...... These were obtained by the militia from the common people, and the Greeks were willing to help with this, and there were even Italian troops on the map.
So, all Colonel Dennis had to do was make a sneak attack plan based on these maps.
"Colonel!" At this time, a sentry reported, "Major Eunice is back!" ”
"Eunice?" Hearing this, Colonel Dennis couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look at the door, and sure enough, he saw Eunice, who was covered in mud, walking in.
"Colonel!" Eunice stood up in front of Colonel Dennis and saluted, saying, "Thank you very much, Colonel, for not taking me for a traitor!" ”
"Of course, Major!" Colonel Dennis replied: "If you were a traitor, they should have known about this stronghold a long time ago!" ”
"Thank you, Colonel!" Eunice was almost moved to tears: "Thank you for your trust! ”
"By the way, Major!" Colonel Dennis asked with some confusion, "How did you come back?" ”
Hearing this, Eunice's face couldn't help but turn pale.
"Didn't you send someone to save me?" Eunice asked.
"No, I didn't!" Colonel Dennis said, and then he suddenly realized something, and immediately ordered: "We are exposed, retreat!" ”
But it was too late to retreat, and a loudspeaker shouted from outside the cave: "Colonel Dennis, I know you're inside, I need to talk to you!" ”
The person who shouted was Qin Chuan.
In order to completely eradicate this Greek militia, the Germans sent a battalion of infantry, the 1st Infantry Battalion under the command of Major Kleiman, who were already surrounding the cave outside.
"Bang!" Gunshots soon rang out, and several militiamen leaned out and raised their guns to shoot. But they were soon sifted into a sieve by a dense barrage of bullets.
"Go from the back!" Colonel Dennis ordered.
But as soon as the words fell, a militiaman ran up and reported: "Colonel, the back road is also blocked!" ”
Colonel Dennis sighed, realizing that he and his men had become turtles in the urn.
"Colonel Dennis!" Qin Chuan held up a small horn and shouted: "Don't make any more senseless resistance, we are not enemies, and casualties like the one just now are completely unnecessary!" ”
After a pause, Qin Chuan continued to shout: "As I said before, our purpose is only to win victory in North Africa, we have no intention of occupying Greece and making enemies of the Greek people!" ”
"Yes!" This is Colonel Dennis who appeared at the entrance of the cave and said: "I believe that you have no intention of occupying Greece, and I believe that you want to achieve victory in the African theater, but your allies the Italians do not think so!" ”
The German soldiers raised their guns and aimed at Colonel Dennis.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot!" Qin Chuan hurriedly got up to stop it.
The militiamen who came out of the cave also raised their guns and pointed them at the Germans, and in an instant, the two sides were tense and on the verge of breaking out.
However, if there was a real fight, it was clear that the militia would not be a match for the German army, which had the numbers, qualities, and favorable terrain.
"I don't have a gun!" Qin Chuan raised his hands, he even untied the armed belt and threw it on the ground, and then slowly walked forward.
"Well done, second lieutenant!" Eunice stared at Qin Chuan hatefully: "I guess, the plan to rescue me was you came up with!" ”
Qin Chuan shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'm sorry, Major, you won't say anything, I only have this way!" ”
"Oh!" Eunice asked, "Then should I still thank you for saving your life?" ”
"I'm not against it if you want!" Qin Chuan replied.
After walking over, Qin Chuan turned around and added: "It's best to make a promise by yourself!" ”
A few of the militia couldn't help but laugh, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot in an instant.
"You know?" Colonel Dennis asked Eunice.
Eunice gritted her teeth and replied, "Colonel, he is the one who captured me." At the same time, he has another identity...... 'Legendary Sergeant'! ”
Before the words fell, many people in the militia became chaotic, and everyone turned their eyes to Qin Chuan.
"All right, second lieutenant!" Dennis asked Qin Chuan, "What is there to talk about between us?" ”
"I want you to lay down your arms and surrender!" Qin Chuan said.
"It can't be!" Dennis replied, "You can take our bodies back!" ”
"Can I talk to you alone?" Qin Chuan asked.
"If you're still aiming for the same thing!" Colonel Dennis said, "Then you are wasting your time!" ”
"I think it's good for you to waste your time." Qin Chuan looked at the German soldiers who were waiting behind him.
Colonel Dennis thought about it, then nodded and walked to the other side with Qin Chuan.
"Say whatever you want!" Colonel Dennis said, "In return for your kindness, I will return you to your camp safely!" ”
"Colonel Dennis!" Qin Chuan said: "I only want you to think about it, if you help the British win this battle, that is, one day...... Both we and the Italian army withdrew from Greece, what will happen! ”
Hearing this, Colonel Dennis couldn't help but be stunned, and then replied: "We don't think about it that much, the important thing is to drive you and the Italians out of our land, isn't it?" ”
"No, you should think about it!" Qin Chuan said: "Because this is not only about you, but also about the fate of the Greek National Liberation Front!" ”
