Chapter 328: The Tunnel
"How do we guarantee supplies to the heights?" Neumann asked again.
Obviously, if the enemy can bypass the high ground, it means that communication between the high ground and the rest of the world will be cut off.
"Store beforehand!" Qin Chuan replied: "For example, ammunition, food, water, medicine, etc., are all stored in the tunnel!" ”
"No, it's crazy!" Colonel Slain interjected: "If the soldiers are locked in the tunnel, they have no choice but to surrender!" ”
Of course, Qin Chuan knew what Colonel Slane said, the tunnel is not fun, it is closed, humid, and the air is not circulated, and it will collapse at any time and face the threat of death at any time, if you don't have strong perseverance, you don't need the enemy to fight, and you won't be able to stand it for a few days when you hide inside.
From this, we can also see how difficult the conditions of the volunteer soldiers were at that time, and European and American countries did not even dare to think about this kind of combat method.
After a long time, Major General Neumann said, "I think this defense is feasible...... At least in front of the enemy's aircraft artillery, our soldiers can save their lives! As long as they can save their lives, it will be possible to get out of the tunnel and launch a counterattack! ”
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "We can prepare a radio station in the tunnel in advance, so that we can fight together with the soldiers in the tunnel, such as we launch an artillery attack on the enemy on the high ground and the soldiers in the tunnel launch a counterattack, or the tunnel provides us with intelligence, etc." ”
Major General Neumann couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "Go on, Lieutenant, this defensive tactic is very novel, and it is also very suitable for our current situation where there is a gap between our equipment and the Allied forces!" ”
Of course, this tactic is new, and it was a tactic used by the volunteers on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea eight years later. Compared with the systematic tunnel warfare of the Volunteer Army, the Japanese can only be regarded as running a family in the tunnels that the Japanese learned from the Chinese tunnel warfare and used on the island of Liuji, but even so, the United States still paid heavy casualties for the attack with several times the number of troops and a large number of modern equipment.
Then Qin Chuan explained the tunnel tactics in detail with Neumann on the drawings, and of course, the anticline tactics that match the tunnel tactics and the combat mode of the entire tunnel system.
The more Major General Neumann listened, the more solemn his expression became, and at the same time, his eyes were full of doubts: "Lieutenant, what you said is as if you have personally experienced such a battle!" ”
"Of course not!" Qin Chuan replied: "I just took a course in architecture in school, and sometimes I think about how to use my knowledge of architecture to build fortifications!" ”
This is a half-truth, Qin Chuan, as an archaeologist, did study architecture.
Neumann nodded in disbelief, and he said while looking at the drawings: "Lieutenant, I have to build a tunnel according to these drawings, and after the exercise, determine whether it works, and then consider whether to build a large area!" ”
"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.
Such a decision that requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and is likely to affect the survival of Tunisia, Algeria, and even the Afrika Korps, is not something that can be made with a pat on the head.
On the plane back to Algiers, Colonel Slein lamented: "Lieutenant, the longer I have been in contact with you, the more surprised I am with you, and it is surprising enough that you have made suggestions for our troops, and yet you are still in the navy and even in the air force, and in Tunisia you have proposed a completely new defensive tactic, although I do not agree with this tactic......"
"Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "I was forced, these suggestions ...... And what ones are not for survival! ”
Colonel Slain nodded, but quickly laughed again: "But I'm in that same environment, and I can't think of anything, maybe because I'm too dull!" ”
Qin Chuan smiled and didn't answer, after experiencing a vicious battle at sea, he hadn't rested until now, Qin Chuan's eyelids quickly sank under the roar of the plane, and after a while, he entered the dream fragrance.
When Qin Chuan woke up, the plane had already landed at Algiers Airport, and after saying goodbye to Colonel Slain, Qin Chuan took a jeep back to the training camp...... It is also beneficial to train a French battalion, originally it was impossible to equip a jeep with the rank of a lieutenant, but because the French battalion is a battalion-level unit, and the training camp is still in an independent military camp outside the city, it often has to go into the city to run errands or supplement supplies, so it is equipped with two jeeps, one for emergencies and the other for Qinchuan's special car.
As soon as they returned to the training camp, the German soldiers in the whole battalion cheered, while the soldiers of the French battalion looked at Qin Chuan with strange eyes one by one.
"What's the situation?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Lieutenant, I heard you've won another battle?" Werner ran up to carry Qin Chuan's luggage: "And it also helped the navy win a battle!" ”
"How do you know?" Qin Chuan asked.
"It's hard for us to know if we don't know!" Alfredo raised the newspaper in his hand, and then read it aloud: "The 'Legendary Sergeant' was particularly prominent in this naval battle, and he was keenly aware of the possibility of the enemy attacking and proposed a constructive air defense method, laying the foundation for our army to achieve a great victory in this naval battle!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but understand that this was a great victory for the German Navy once in a thousand years, and of course they would take this opportunity to hype it up, especially since it might also attract Hitler's attention and make him regain confidence in the Navy.
Raeder was quite authentic, and he didn't take the credit for Qin Chuan or say a few words lightly...... However, this may also be another of Raeder's intentions, he needs to use the gimmick of "legendary sergeant" to spread this information faster and wider.
"Lieutenant!" Werner asked: "Don't you want to talk to us about how you taught those navies to fight?" ”
"I'm curious!" The baker said, "Before the lieutenant took part, our navy had never won a battle!" ”
"That's right!" Alfredo answered, "Someday...... I think we should throw the lieutenant in the Italian army, and I think that's where the lieutenant is needed the most! ”
"Oh no!" The crowd roared:
"The Italian army, even ten lieutenants are not enough!"
"I'm sorry, Alfredo, the lieutenant will only be if he goes there!"
……
The soldiers giggled and fought in a ball.
At this time, Qin Chuan saw Venete who was training, and Venet also saw Qin Chuan, and she smiled at Qin Chuan while running with the team.
Looking at Vinette, who was wearing a military uniform and a boat cap, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think of the moment before leaving the barracks......
