The 2nd Infantry Regiment was quickly withdrawn from the Onna Heights, and was taken up to take over a battalion of the 200th Infantry Division as a reserve.

Defending the Enna Heights with a battalion may have been a little underwhelming, but it didn't matter when the Germans were about to launch a counteroffensive.

A regiment of troops was transferred to Onna Airport in an orderly manner, changed into British uniforms and equipment as quickly as possible, and then got into the car bound for Draenor again...... Of course, in addition to carrying British equipment, they also carried more than 300 bazookas.

This is one of the reasons why this task had to be carried out by the 2nd Infantry Regiment: in Sicily, only the 2nd Infantry Regiment had real combat experience with bazookas against tanks.

The car drove all the way to Draenor...... The driver was still wearing a German military uniform, and Rommel asked the staff officer to explain the German troops who had set up a checkpoint along the road, so it took only an hour to reach the vicinity of the destination.

The location happened to be at the junction of the British army on the right and the American army in the center, and at the same time it was not a strategic point, so the British and American forces did not take care of it for the time being.

The convoy stopped at the side of the road, and Colonel Slain looked through his binoculars at Draenor, who seemed to be shivering in the dark, and with a wave of his hand, divided the troops into several parts and surrounded Draenor.

Everyone, including Qin Chuan, thought that this battle would go well, because the information they obtained was...... The Italian troops, a battalion of Delaenau, had even made covert contact with the British to welcome them into town.

But what people didn't expect was that when the gunshots rang out, fierce gunfire rang out in the town.

"We are from the British 70th Infantry Division!" A German officer shouted into the town in English with a bullhorn: "You are surrounded, we accept your surrender!" ”

"Fuck the English pig!" There were a few shouts in German from the town: "We will not surrender, come on, our machine guns are waiting for you here!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane couldn't help but be stunned, and then both of them realized that something was wrong...... There seemed to be German soldiers in the town.

Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein guessed correctly, these German soldiers were soldiers of the 23rd Infantry Regiment on the right flank, and their mission was to fight and retreat until the British army was drawn to the area of Mount Etna and entangled them.

But there are always surprises on the battlefield, and a second lieutenant named David with his troops gets lost in the retreat...... Not long after the 23rd Infantry Division arrived on the island, it was unfamiliar with the terrain and turned east and west to the small town of Norad.

When the Germans of this platoon came to this town, they were so angry that they saw that all the Italian soldiers here were grinding their skills, so they kicked their butts and even put their rifles against their heads to deploy Norad's defenses.

Worse still, these defenses were impressively arranged, with machine guns, mortars, and even two vintage tanks...... Although the performance of the Italian tanks is not worth mentioning, the problem is that if this is really launched, casualties are inevitable, especially if each other fights their own people.

"Fuck it!" Colonel Slane asked Qin Chuan, "What should we do now?" Tell them that we are Germans? ”

"Of course not!" Qin Chuan said: "If you say this, the Italians will also know!" And, do you think they'll believe us when we say so? ”

"And then?" Colonel Slein said, "Storm? Rush in and kill them all? They are Germans! ”

"I should contact General Rommel!" Qin Chuan said: "He will solve this problem!" ”

"How to fix it?" Colonel Slein said, "Even if we find the superior of the German soldiers, but we have surrounded this place, should we still make an opening for them to get out?" ”

"Order them to surrender!" Qin Chuan said: "If necessary, you can tell them the truth, of course, only the officer is allowed to know!" ”

Colonel Slain nodded and said, "That's the only way to do it!" ”

The next step can be said to be a lot of twists and turns.

On the one hand, because I was not sure which German unit in the town was, I could only guess that it was the 23rd Division. So Rommel contacted Major General Leonard, commander of the 23rd Division.

Another problem was that the Germans in the town were only platoon-level units, and there was no radio at all, so they could not be contacted, and of course they could not talk.

In the end, he had to turn a corner, contact the Italian soldiers in the town of Norad, and ask the Italian soldiers to transfer the call to Second Lieutenant David.

"I'm Leonard, commander of the 23rd Division!" Major General Leonard immediately identified himself and asked, "Which unit are you in?" ”

Ensign David looked confused, he couldn't believe that the division commander would call here at this time, and after being stunned for a while, Ensign David replied: "We are from the 68th Infantry Regiment, sir, my name is David!" ”

"You guys are doing a great job!" Major General Leonard said: "But now, I order you to surrender, with the Italians...... Right away! ”

Second Lieutenant David looked at the phone, and then said, "Fuck, it's a British trick again!" ”

As he spoke, he hung up the phone.

Major General Leonard on the other end of the phone was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Later, there was no way, so I directly called David's company commander and called again.

"David!" The company commander said on the phone: "Listen, you have to surrender!" ”

"Captain!" David said indignantly: "You have been captured by the British!" No, we won't surrender! ”

At this critical moment, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to fight with such a soldier.

In the end, Major General Leonard could only tell David the truth: "It's actually the German troops that surround you, understand?" They're on a special mission! Don't let anyone know but you! Put down the guns and don't have any conflicts with them! ”

These words couldn't help but make David stunned, and after confirming it again and again, David chose to surrender with his troops according to the order.

It is said that when David and the Germans agreed to surrender, the Italian soldiers could not help but let out cheers, and they all jumped and screamed as if they had won the battle.

Later, when Qin Chuan knew about these things, he felt a little unbelievable...... There was a battalion of Italian soldiers in the town, and there were two tanks, while the Germans had only one platoon, and the Italian soldiers could mutini at any time to control the German soldiers in this platoon and accept the surrender.

However, the Italian soldiers did not do so.

Not because of anything else, but because they did not have the courage to resist the German soldiers of this platoon.
