Chapter 46 Recommendations

"Colonel, may I make a suggestion?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Of course!" Colonel Slain took a sip of his coffee.

"Why don't we go to Mechile after dark to join the main forces?" Qin Chuan asked.

Qin Chuan's suggestion is of course reasonable, there will be no hope if he stays in Tenggtenger, and the Germans can break through and find the main force without worrying about the bombing of British air power after dark.

Colonel Slane shook his head, "You're not the only one who made this suggestion, Sergeant, and in fact I thought so too. But ......"

Speaking of which, Slein didn't go any further.

Qin Chuan knew the meaning behind this "but...... Rommel disagreed.

It might be said that Rommel would only agree to the convergence of a regiment with the main forces if it was really badly lost and unable to garrison Tengeten.

So this fell into a paradox: a regiment could not leave Tenggtor without suffering heavy losses, and if it did not leave Tenggtenger, it would inevitably suffer losses or even annihilation.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Colonel Slane asked.

This was almost an eviction order, but Slane added: "Anytime, if you have any suggestions or ideas, you can ...... with Lucas."

Saying that, Colonel Slane raised his head at the officer who brought Qin Chuan, and the officer stepped forward to introduce himself: "My name is Lucas, the colonel's adjutant!" ”

"It's an honor to meet you, sir!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and saluted.

Colonel Slain continued: "Or you may come directly to me, for I am looking forward to another proposal to defeat the British, and we need it very much!" ”

At this time, Qin Chuan should have saluted the colonel and said goodbye, but Qin Chuan didn't realize this because he was thinking about his situation in his head.

The situation is clear now, and it will undoubtedly be dangerous for a group to continue to stay in Tenggtenger.

And as the so-called "there are eggs under the nest", if a regiment is about to suffer heavy losses or the whole army is wiped out, then Qin Chuan, as a member of the regiment, is naturally more auspicious...... So Qin Chuan couldn't let this happen.

But what can Qin Chuan do? Rommel's order was pressed on top.

Objectively speaking, Rommel would give such an order, because he needed a force to cut off the enemy's supply lines in the rear, so that he could have a chance to crush the enemy's main force or prevent them from escaping, even at the cost of the total annihilation of the interspersed force.

The problem was that Qin Chuan didn't want to be sacrificed like this.

Therefore, Qin Chuan had only one choice, and that was to disobey Rommel's orders.

But again, it's almost impossible...... He was only a sergeant, and it was impossible for Colonel Slein to disobey Rommel's orders.

"Sergeant, sergeant?" Colonel Slane couldn't help but cry out in confusion when he saw that Qin Chuan hadn't moved for a long time.

"Colonel......" Qin Chuan came back to his senses.

"Do you remember something?" Colonel Slain couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh yes, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "I'm thinking, maybe we don't have to stick to Tenggtenger!" ”

"Sergeant!" Hearing this, Colonel Slain couldn't help but turn cold: "Do you want me to disobey orders?" Mind you, this is outside your purview! ”

"I'm sorry, Colonel, I didn't mean that!" Qin Chuan explained: "I mean...... Our ultimate goal is to cut off the enemy's supply lines and cooperate with the main forces to attack the enemy, which is why General Rommel asked us to garrison Tengetenl. In fact, we know that the garrison Tengeteng can foresee no way to achieve this purpose, if ...... We disobeyed the order to leave Tengeten, but how could we achieve this? ”

Hearing this, Colonel Slane couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed: "You mean...... Do you have a way to cut off the supply lines of the British or prevent them from retreating? ”

Colonel Slane thought that Qin Chuan was joking, and even thought that Qin Chuan was looking for an excuse to retreat, but when he saw Qin Chuan's serious expression, he was a little convinced.

"All right, Sergeant!" Colonel Slane said, "Tell me your advice, I'm listening!" ”

"Can I use your map?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Of course!" Colonel Slane gave Qin Chuan a position.

Qin Chuan walked to the map and found Tenggtenger's location at a glance...... He specializes in the history of World War II, especially German history, so he knows every battle and its course very well.

"We're here!" Qin Chuan pointed to Tenggtenger on the map and said: "The main force of the British is in the area of Meichi, sixty-four kilometers away from us!" ”

As soon as Qin Chuan opened his mouth, Colonel Slain was impressed, because this seemingly simple sentence contained information that several ordinary soldiers did not know, such as the location of the main force of the British army, and the exact distance between Mechile and Tengeten.

"How do you know that?" Colonel Slane asked with some curiosity.

"Uh...... Part heard, part guessed! Qin Chuan replied: "If Tenggtenger is the enemy's rear, then the enemy's main force has nowhere else except for Mei Chile, isn't it?" ”

Colonel Slane nodded, "Go on, Sergeant!"

"Then ......" Qin Chuan said: "I boldly guess that the vast majority of the British tanks are east of Tenggtenger, that is, in the area of Mechile!" ”

As he spoke, Qin Chuan looked at Colonel Slane.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain agreed: "Our intelligence indicates that they have more than 900 tanks east of Tengeten and more than 100 in Egypt, a small part of which is ...... Tobrug."

It's no secret that before that, the British army chased the Italian army all the way to Tripoli, and the British tanks could be said to be pouring out...... Although the tanks were broken due to performance problems, most of them made it to Libya, and only a little more than a hundred remained in Egypt. This can also be seen from the previous attack of the British armored forces on Tengetenr from the west.

"On the other hand!" Qin Chuan continued: "The British also built Tenggtenger as a base, for example, they stored gasoline and tank parts here, so that the tanks could get fuel and repair in time......

"Uh-huh!" Colonel Slain did not object.

There is no doubt that the Germans found a large amount of gasoline and spare parts in the warehouses in Tengeten, and even before that, they had encountered and captured tanks that were refueling the city.

"I speculate ......" Qin Chuan said, "the British did not only set up one stronghold of Tengetener, they may have set up a lot, and these strongholds will be connected in a line all the way to the port of Tobruk......"

"You mean ......" Colonel Slane raised his head and looked at Qin Chuan, his face full of shock.
