Chapter 45: The Colonel
On the other side, Colonel Slein, who was in the headquarters, still had no idea about the situation on the front line, and he looked at the map with a frown, thinking hard about how to solve the problem in front of him.
At this time, the adjutant ran in under fire and said breathlessly: "Colonel, I ...... We ......"
"Enough, Lucas!" Colonel Slane was very dissatisfied with Lucas's panicked performance, and he impatiently reprimanded: "I know that the situation is very critical now, and the British are about to fight in front of us, but we have no way out, we can only fight to the death, please keep an officer calm and ......"
"No, Colonel!" Lucas's face flushed with excitement: "You misunderstood, I ...... We've won! ”
"I know, I ......" said Colonel Slain couldn't help but be stunned, he looked up at Lucas in surprise, and asked, "What?" What did you say? What wins? ”
"We have won, Colonel!" Lucas couldn't help but laugh: "They repelled the British!" ”
"Did they repel the British?" Colonel Slain still couldn't believe it: "How? ”
"With gasoline, Colonel!" Lucas replied: "They laid out gasoline on the way of the British and set fire to half the city...... The British suffered heavy casualties, losing at least a hundred tanks and a thousand soldiers! They are afraid that they will not be able to attack again in a short time! ”
Colonel Slain couldn't help but open his mouth wide in astonishment, and only nodded after a long time and said, "Gasoline, what a good idea!" Lucas, this is the soldier of our empire, isn't it? Won this almost impossible battle! How did they come up with this idea? ”
"Colonel!" Lucas replied, "It is said that it was the work of a sergeant!" ”
"A sergeant?" Slain looked at the adjutant.
"Yes, a sergeant!"
"Sergeant Flick!" Qin Chuan, who was resting against the corner, heard Bazel's shout: "The colonel asked you to go to the regiment headquarters!" ”
"What?" Qin Chuan didn't react.
"You're Sergeant Flick?" Under Bazel's instructions, an officer walked up to Qin Chuan, followed by two guards with submachine guns in their hands.
"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan hurriedly got up and replied.
"Come with me!" said the officer.
"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he had to go with them, because this was the army, and he had to obey the orders of the commander.
A few people walked through the streets, and every now and then a few shells came from the direction of the British, which made them occasionally duck out of their waists, or sometimes through the ruins and broken walls, as the streets were often blocked by collapsed buildings.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a few people got into a two-story building, which was full of officers wearing big hats walking back and forth busily, and after passing through their busy area, they found a room around the corner, the light was not very good, and the door had been torn down...... This is right, because the doors of the Libyan people are not strong, and they do not serve any defensive purpose other than to prevent their own activities.
"Colonel!" The officer stepped forward and reported: "I brought him here!" ”
At this time, Qin Chuan saw the officer who was looking at the map with a magnifying glass in front of his desk, and seeing his rank of colonel, Qin Chuan quickly judged that he was his regiment commander, Colonel Slain.
"Sir!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and saluted.
Colonel Slane raised his head and glanced at Qin Chuan, bowed slightly, and asked, "You are Sergeant Flick?" ”
"Yes, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.
"Rest, Sergeant, it's nice to meet you!" Colonel Slane stepped forward and shook Qin Chuan's hand.
"It is my pleasure, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.
"Can I see your ID?" Colonel Slain held out his hand.
This made Qin Chuan nervous for a while, because all along, Qin Chuan had a feeling of imposting Frick, or it could also be said to be an illusion.
But Qin Chuan still took out his soldier card from his pocket and handed it over, but his movements were a little flustered because of his weak heart.
Colonel Slane took his soldier ID and flipped it open, then stared at the message for a minute.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but think...... Maybe it's because you see any flaws, or if there are some strange things written in your soldier's card, such as being a tanker, but you don't know anything about tanks, and just ask a question.
However, what Qin Chuan was worried about did not happen, because Frick was an ordinary soldier who could not be more ordinary.
"I'm surprised, sergeant!" After reading it, Colonel Slane returned the soldier's card to Qin Chuan: "It said that you have no strength, and even said that you are slow to react, but ...... Now you're a brilliant sniper, and this time you've come up with an ingenious way to repel the mighty British army, and in particular, it's a good way to do it, with gasoline! ”
"Maybe it's luck or something!" Qin Chuan replied that he really couldn't find a better excuse.
Slain smiled and shook his head, "No, I don't think it's luck, I'm wondering if you've offended some officer who examines you, but gold shines wherever you go, doesn't it?" ”
"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and replied, "Thank you, sir!" ”
"That's right!" Then the colonel asked: "I heard that the last time you were in Agdabiya, you used your knowledge to destroy a building so that our army could successfully break through?" ”
"Yes, sir!"
"It's impressive!" Colonel Slane walked back to his desk, casually brewed a cup of coffee in a cup, and asked Qin Chuan, "Do you want a cup?" ”
"No, sir!" Although Qin Chuan refused in his mouth, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva...... The aroma of the coffee is very attractive, especially in the dry and hot desert.
Colonel Slane seemed to see through Qin Chuan's thoughts, and handed Qin Chuan a cup with a smile: "Don't feel restrained, sergeant, you saved all of us, me, and my troops!" We all owe you! ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do, sir!" Qin Chuan happily took the coffee and took a sip carefully...... Suddenly, a long-lost fragrance came from top to bottom, and I felt comfortable all over my body.
Colonel Slain made another cup for himself, then leaned against the table and raised the glass to Qin Chuan Yaoyao and said, "For victory!" ”
"For victory!"
"But!" Colonel Slain continued: "We are still in a very serious form, we are only lucky to have passed the first hurdle, and there will be a second or third attack from the British...... And, next time, we might not be so lucky! ”
Qin Chuan understood what Colonel Slain meant, and it was impossible to use the same method a second time.
Moreover, because of this crushing defeat of the British army, and at the same time Tengeten is a battleground for the British army, their next attack may be even more violent.
What can we do when the time comes?
Waiting to die here?
No, Qin Chuan won't just sit back and wait.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan realized that this was an excellent time for him to make suggestions...... The regimental commander was in front of him.
