Chapter Forty-Seven: First Chop and Then Play
In the past few days, people have been disgusted, and the soldiers have worked hard to write books for so many years, and they are coding words almost every day...... Suddenly, the book becomes someone else's.
"The Blood of the Vietnam War" was changed to "The Bloody War in Vietnam", and "The Chinese Expeditionary Force of the Anti-Japanese War" was changed to "The Chinese Expeditionary Force", which is almost a change of title and the name of the protagonist...... The point is that the author is not me, and it is also noted that he is the original.
The focus of the focus is on...... He even told others that he was an expeditionary soldier.
It's a dog!
Is it easy to write a book for so many years, I've never seen such shamelessness.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "We can attack the port of Tobruk!" ”
"You're crazy!" Lucas, who had been silent, interjected: "We can't succeed, that brother is much more dangerous than stationing Tenggtenger!" ”
"I don't think so!" Qin Chuan objected: "First of all, there is no action more dangerous than garrisoning Tenggtenger, because the British know our location, and may even know our strength and firepower, they can calmly and systematically assemble troops to attack us, and we have nothing to stop them." ”
Colonel Slein nodded in agreement.
Although the Germans had recently repelled the British and inflicted heavy losses, the situation for the Germans was even worse: the Germans had lost more than half of their artillery, half of the Tengeten had been bulldozed by the British, and to make matters worse, the British had figured out the German firepower during the battle...... So, as Qin Chuan said, the British army could calmly organize the next attack.
"If we attack the port of Tobruk, there will be at least two benefits!" Qin Chuan continued: "One is that we can avoid the heavy and light, as I said before, the main force of the British army is in the direction of Mechi, and its internal strength is very empty, that is, in the direction of Tobruk, we can take them by surprise." ”
"That's just your guess, Sergeant!" Major Lucas objected: "We can't just guess and let the troops take such a big risk!" ”
"Do we have any other options?" Qin Chuan asked, "As for the adventure...... If garrisoning Tengeten threatens to wipe us out, what risk isn't worth trying? ”
Lucas couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Qin Chuan's words are irrefutable, one is a known dead end, and the other is an unknown dangerous road...... As long as the mind is clear, everyone knows that they should choose the dangerous road rather than the dead end, because it has at least a chance to live.
"Another benefit? Sergeant! Colonel Slain asked.
"Another advantage is that we can drag down the main forces of the British!" Qin Chuan replied.
"How is this possible?" Lucas retorted: "You may not know that the main force of the British army has more than 100,000 people, and there are more than 900 tanks, and they are not decorations!" ”
"The large number of people and the large number of tanks are precisely their weak point!" Qin Chuan replied.
Lucas was about to retort, but was stopped by Slane raising his hand.
"Go on, Sergeant!" Colonel Slane said.
"This is the desert!" Qin Chuan said: "The most important thing in the desert is supply, people need supplies, tanks also need supplies, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch, which we have already experienced when crossing the desert." So it is conceivable that the British army's consumption of supplies, especially in wartime, will be astronomical, which is one of the reasons why they are in a hurry to eliminate us and open up supply lines! ”
Colonel Slein continued: "If we attack the port of Tobruk, we will destroy its supplies along the way!" ”
"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded and said, "As I said before, the British have set up strongholds like Tenggtenger along the line to store fuel and supplies, if we stick to Tenggtenger...... The British would only need to take Tengeteng back to open up the supply line, but if we attack down the entire line...... In the case that the British are defenseless and empty, it is very likely that we will be overwhelmed all the way, because most of the troops we encounter are supply troops, so that the gasoline, parts, supplies, etc., that the British have stored along the line will be destroyed by us, and then ......"
Colonel Slain nodded thoughtfully: "Next, their tanks and cars will not be able to move because they don't have gas and spare parts, so not only will they not be able to pursue us, but it will even be a problem to drive them away!" ”
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "But there is a prerequisite for this to happen...... We need to be able to take and hold the port of Tobruk! ”
"Because it's a port!" Colonel Slein agreed: "Gasoline and supplies will be constantly brought in by convoys from the sea, and if we don't take it and hold it, the British will get supplies here!" ”
"So what's the difference between that and guarding Tenggtenger?" Lucas couldn't help but ask.
"The difference is that ......" Colonel Slain replied on behalf of Qin Chuan, "the British don't have many cars and tanks to drive to Tobruk, so we have to face far fewer tanks, and the combat effectiveness of the British will also decline due to lack of ammunition, and at the same time they will have to bear huge psychological pressure...... If they can't take Tobruk, they will be defeated! ”
"But...... Tobruk is not so easy to occupy! "It was the best port east of Benghazi, and the British had built strong fortifications there," Lucas said. ”
"That's why we want to occupy it!" Colonel Slein said: "Because only by taking advantage of the geographical advantages and fortifications there can our troops survive in the presence of a strong enemy!" And even if we don't survive or take Tobruk in the end, we'll do much better than staying in Tengeten! ”
This is obvious, and the garrison of Tengatengel is equivalent to "blocking" the supply lines of the British army like a tide...... The British supplies were not destroyed, they were only temporarily impassable, and once Tengeteng was recaptured by the British, the British could regain a large number of supplies.
But if it is done according to Qin Chuan's plan, it is to extend the supply line of the main force of the British army while eliminating the supply of the British army...... The main force of the British army followed behind a regiment and was never able to be resupplied.
"But the Colonel!" Lucas asked, "General Rommel's order...... Should we report back to the general and ask for his consent? ”
Qin Chuan couldn't help but get nervous, because he knew that the British army could crack all the intercepted German codes, and this operation had to be known to the British in advance...... Not only is it not going to succeed, it can be a trap.
Colonel Slain was silent for a while, then said, "No, I don't think you need to ask the general's consent for this, because he did the same, and I'm sure he will!" ”
Colonel Slein was talking about Rommel not obeying Hitler's orders...... If Rommel could have done this, why couldn't Colonel Slain do it?
Like Rommel, who disobeyed Hitler's orders, he won the victory, and he was just as rewarded with praise rather than punishment.
In fact, this was just Colonel Slein's excuse for the real reason why he was reluctant to consult Rommel...... It was because he was worried that if Rommel did not agree, he and his troops would have to die, so they simply cut it first and then played.
Of course, if the result is a failure, Colonel Slain will have to bear all the blame...... But if even your life is gone, what's the point of worrying about the rest?
