Chapter 348: Privileges

There was silence for a long time, and none of the French soldiers came forward.

Qin Chuan raised his head at Yulia and said, "It seems that there are not many people who support you!" โ€

"Oh no......," Yulia said to the French soldiers, dissatisfied, "most of you just agreed with me!" โ€

"Obviously, Major!" "It's one thing to agree with you, it's another thing to go out to war with you," Vignette responded. We all know that you may not even be able to raise a gun, and you made us rush out to fight the British, just to escape this tunnel and return to Berlin as soon as possible! โ€

"Yes!" Baudouin continued: "You don't care if we live or die, if you don't even have the courage to stay in the tunnel, why should you command us to fight?" โ€

"There is no doubt that we should listen to the lieutenant!"

"Of course, I've always thought so!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Qin Chuan's angry Yulia spread her hands, then turned around and returned to her pit.

What Qin Chuan didn't expect was that Yulia also followed.

"How?" Qin Chuan shone a flashlight on Yulia and asked, "You found that you couldn't convince those soldiers, so you planned to convince me?" โ€

"No, Lieutenant!" Yulia said, "I know you won't agree, but I want to know the plan, and ...... I also want to have a single room. Oh yes, arrange another room for my guards......"

"Do you want room service as well?" Qin Chuan unceremoniously interrupted Yuria's words.

Of course, Yulia knew that this was a refusal, she looked at Qin Chuan with an incredible expression, and said, "Lieutenant, you must know that I am a major...... I'm just asking for a private room, which isn't too much! โ€

"Major!" Qin Chuan responded coldly: "You have to understand one thing, this is a battlefield, and everyone here will lose their lives at any time, so we only respect those who have the courage to fight, and you ...... I'm sorry, but you're just a burden to us, you're doing nothing but consuming rations, and you might even kill us all because of your ignorance. So, tell me, why do you still enjoy privileges in this situation? Is it because of your rank?! โ€

"You don't have the right to speak to me like that!" Yulia turned pale with anger.

"Put away your set!" Qin Chuan said: "This is a battlefield, not a place for you to play." Now please leave, you can stay with the female soldiers, and if you need to spread the word to the enemy, I will send someone to inform you!" โ€

"Good!" Yulia gritted her teeth and said, "You will regret what you did today and everything you said!" โ€

"Let's wait and see!" As he spoke, Qin Chuan turned his gaze to the document in his hand and no longer paid attention to Yulia, who had not yet figured out the situation.

Helpless, Yulia could only burrow out of the pit in a huff.

In fact, Qin Chuan can understand female officers like Yulia, who are used to living a drunken life in Berlin, and usually always rely on their power to consciously enjoy privileges as a matter of course, and now they are the same on the battlefield...... What she didn't know was that only those who could lead everyone to victory on the battlefield had privileges, such as Qin Chuan, who could have a relatively independent room.

"Lieutenant!" A few minutes later, the baker came in.

"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan raised his head and asked, "How is the situation?" โ€

"They've calmed down!" The baker replied, "But I don't think they'll stop there, you know...... Hiding in the pit will make them more stressful, and this is just the beginning! โ€

Qin Chuan nodded, of course he knew this, especially since they didn't know the battle plan and couldn't see the hope of survival, that kind of fear of death and the repression in a small space would make people go crazy, and some people would even rather die outside the tunnel under the guns of the enemy.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said to the baker: "I need you to arrange some eyeliner, if anyone wants to escape from the pit or has any plans, I hope to know in advance!" โ€

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

While Qin Chuan and the others were hiding in the tunnels and counting the time minute by minute, the British army, as Qin Chuan expected, attacked from south to north with Gafsa as a base.

However, the offensive did not go as smoothly as Montgomery expected...... The Germans set up defenses on the heights on both sides of the Gafsa road.

The Germans had a small number of troops along the Gafsa road, with only one infantry regiment and a regiment of the "Lightning Division" that had been urgently airdropped from Algeria to the section...... This was actually done for the British army to see, so that they thought that the German and Italian armies were in a hurry to use all the reserve troops.

Montgomery was fooled, and he happily said to Eisenhower: "Look, Ike, the Germans are using the Airborne Forces as infantry!" โ€

On the surface, the situation in Germany was indeed rather embarrassing: two main armored divisions were dragged at both ends of the Gabรจs line and could not move, and one armored division was held in Tunisia to guard the airfield and did not dare to move, because it was ...... It was possible that the British airborne forces would raid two airfields in Tunis.

As a result, the Germans could only watch as the two British armoured troops drove straight along the Gafsa Road.

It seems that all the Germans can do is wait for the moment when they are divided and surrounded by the British army and finally collapse.

"But our offensive on the Gafsa road did not go well!" Eisenhower said with some concern: "What we originally planned to do in three days is now going to take at least a week!" โ€

Eisenhower was telling the truth, the Germans were small on the Gafsa Road, but they dispersed and seized the high ground and points that were supposed to be raided by the British airborne troops...... The Germans were good at "blitzkrieg", and of course they knew which important places to focus on.

As a result, because the airborne troops could not play a large role, the British army could only advance along the road by virtue of air superiority and superiority in troops and equipment.

"That's not the point!" Montgomery said: "The point is that the Germans can't stop us!" โ€

Montgomery looked at the map and continued, "They don't have any more troops to use, so it doesn't matter if it's three days or a week, the outcome is the same!" โ€

"I hope so!" Eisenhower said.

But Eisenhall was not so optimistic, although he had little command and combat experience...... In fact, Eisenhower had been engaged in training and civilian work until that and had never fought in combat.

But a soldier's instinct told him that it might not be so simple, because the Germans retreated all the way to Tunisia in an orderly manner, and there was some suspicion that they behaved so badly in Tunisia.

As for Montgomery's thoughts, Eisenhower thought he was just carried away by the victories that came all the way down.
