Chapter 208

Colonel Slain made a casual remark while discussing the issue of supplies with Rommel......

"The sergeant actually wants to use snipers to compress the space for the British!" Colonel Slane said: "He thinks that this will increase the loss of ammunition in the British army!" ”

"What?" Rommel, who had been frowning, couldn't help but look up at Colonel Slain.

"That's right!" Colonel Slein said Qin Chuan's thoughts, and then commented: "This is a crazy idea, I think only this legendary sergeant would think of this tactic!" ”

It's just that what Colonel Slane didn't expect was ...... Rommel was also a madman.

"Maybe that's the way to go!" Rommel said: "If we can compress the British space and consume their ammunition as much as possible, then it will be equivalent to an increase in our resources, at least the British will not be able to store enough supplies in a short time to launch a counteroffensive!" ”

"You don't really want to do that, General!" Colonel Slain was dumbfounded.

Rommel didn't respond, he just said, "I need to talk to the sergeant!" ”

So Qin Chuan was taken to Rommel's command.

In fact, Qin Chuan also wanted to talk to Rommel, because he thought that he could learn from the experience of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, and he could also learn from the experience and tactics of other battles, such as the Vietnam War, the Afghanistan War, and so on.

"Tell me about your sniper tactics!" Rommel said: "I wonder what if the British send armored vehicles or even tanks to encircle and suppress them? ”

What Rommel said was indeed a problem, because a sniper only has a rifle, and the rifle is powerless against tanks and armored vehicles, no matter how accurate they are.

"We can take advantage of the enemy's minefields, General!" Qin Chuan said: "To put it simply, snipers are walking in the minefield, and if the British want to send armored vehicles and tanks to encircle and suppress them, they must first clear their own mines!" ”

Rommel couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "They will face the same problem when they open fire!" ”

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "After the sniper shoots, the wind and sand in the desert will quickly blow away or cover the smoke and dust coming out of the muzzle, it is difficult for the British to determine the location of the sniper, they can choose to cover it with artillery fire, but that also means that they have to consume a lot of shells and blow up a lot of mines, and even then they may not be able to blow up our snipers!" ”

"That's right!" Rommel said: "So they can say that they are helpless against us!" ”

Qin Chuan continued: "If our snipers are also trained in artillery, then take the phone......"

Rommel answered: "Then they can even become the eyes of the artillerymen to indicate the targets of the bombardment!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "Our snipers can even bring back detailed information about the enemy's defense line when they return every day, and we can choose whether we need to send a commando team to launch a night attack along the passage that has been cleared!" ”

"It's a good idea!" Rommel nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about the enemy's tanks and planes during a night attack, which will try to weaken our disadvantage in equipment and supplies!" ”

"These are just one of my thoughts, General!" Qin Chuan said.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Rommel's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "For example, in terms of supply, why don't we mobilize soldiers and civilians to farm the land? ”

"Farming?" Colonel Slein couldn't help but object: "The British soldiers are training, and our soldiers are farming?" This will reduce our combat effectiveness! ”

"That won't take much time, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "And I found that the irrigation technology and planting technology of the people of Egypt and Libya are very backward, if we can let them master better and more advanced planting methods, then the agricultural output will increase significantly, and our supplies will not need to be transported by Italy, or we can reduce the volume of transportation in stages!" ”

General Stryk and the others couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Qin Chuan's suggestion.

It is no wonder that they have such expressions, because for Germany the military is a noble profession, and it is a shame to farm like the common people...... This is mainly derived from the knight culture in Europe, the soldier is like the ancient knight, and the knight and the farmer are two social levels of people, the knight should not do the work of the farmer, of course, if it is to help his family farm it is another matter.

This will not be a problem for the Chinese, because Chinese soldiers have always come from the common people, and at the same time, it is also a fine tradition of our army to have enough food and clothing by themselves.

"There are many benefits to doing this!" Seeing that the officers were silent, Qin Chuan continued: "First of all, the land and climate of Africa are actually very suitable for planting ......."

Many people think that large swathes of Africa are deserts and therefore unsuitable for cultivation. But in fact, this is not the case in many places in Africa where there is a water source, they are even the land formed by the sedimentation of desert dust, the geology is soft and fertile, coupled with the hot climate of Africa, so the plants are often as long as crazy, and there is no winter, and the harvest can be harvested all year round, which is the case in cities such as Matrou.

But Africans are also notoriously lazy, so they tend to grow only some food to feed themselves, and of course this is partly because the planting method is so primitive, they basically dig a pit and bury the seeds and wait for the harvest.

"What could it do but relieve our supply pressure?" General Stryk asked.

"Let's put it this way!" After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said: "The ancient Chinese army often farmed on the border, the reason is that the territory laid by their army is too large, if the grain is to be transported from the capital to the border, because the ancient means of transportation are very backward, transporting a bag of grain will consume two bags or even more grain, and it takes a long time, so the emperor ordered the soldiers guarding the border to go to the field and farm the land by themselves. This policy was originally intended to ease the country's supply pressure, but they found an unexpected benefit...... The soldiers taught the local people advanced planting techniques and irrigation techniques when they were farming, so that the local people could live a better life, so the local people who originally rebelled against them became supportive and supportive of their rule, so that the soldiers were invincible in the battle against foreign invasions! ”

Hearing this, General Stryk couldn't help but let out an "oh", then nodded and said, "The power of the masses!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "Just like we used the power of the masses to easily seize Alexander, and even farming is more convincing than what Alexander did, because we are just doing a few good things in Alexandria and then publicizing them, and if we teach the people planting and irrigation techniques, it will really solve the people's living problems, and if the people of Africa, including Egypt, support us......"

Needless to say, Qin Chuan had already seen Rommel and other officers nodding their heads.
