Chapter 49: Surprise

Happy Tanabata!

But at this time, if you are still waiting for the soldiers to be updated, I am afraid that tonight will be sad...... The soldier can only say to you: Start working hard tomorrow, and strive for the next Tanabata to wait for the update!

**********

On the way to the march, the soldiers were furious in their hearts, and they were all thinking: why are you still attacking in the direction of the enemy? Are supplies and ammunition sufficient? Where are the reinforcements?

But an order is an order, there is no room for argument and questioning, and the soldiers can only follow the troops all the way to the Tugla trot.

Tugla was more than 30 kilometres from Tengetenr and was almost there by dawn the next day.

At this time, there was a "surprise" that everyone did not expect......

The troops walked and walked in the night, and at some point there were several more armored vehicles around.

This was originally not a big deal, it was normal for the marching troops to have a few vehicles around them, so the soldiers didn't care, and they walked together for a while with each other's courtesy, and even Qin Chuan didn't notice anything at first.

But as he walked, Qin Chuan felt that something was wrong...... When the troops came out of Tenggtenger, they didn't bring a single car, and even the regimental commander, Colonel Slein, was on foot, so where did these armored vehicles come from?

If it was taken by the scouts from the British...... This may also make sense, but the troops were secretly marching at this time, how could they capture a few "rumbling" armored vehicles and follow the troops?

Especially when one of the armored vehicles was blocked by soldiers and tapped its horn lightly, Qin Chuan was even more suspicious...... How could an armored vehicle honk its horn at this time, when it was about to reach the target of the attack? Aren't they worried about exposing their targets?

So Qin Chuan beckoned to his subordinates, and more than a dozen people stopped the five armored vehicles with guns.

"What's wrong? Sergeant! Kuhn caught up, he was surprised by Qin Chuan's behavior, he thought that there was an officer sitting in the armored car, and Qin Chuan's approach was boring for himself.

Unexpectedly, the driver of the armored car poked his head out and scolded: "Don't get in the way, bastard!" ”

This scolding startled Kuhn, and he hurriedly raised his gun and aimed it at the armored car...... The driver spoke English.

Qin Chuan walked to the window of the car with his rifle and shouted in English with a commanding tone: "Sir, if you want to live, turn off the engine and open the door!" ”

The driver seemed to understand something, and his face suddenly turned bloodless, but he still raised his hands slowly as Qin Chuan said.

Qin Chuan heard another person behind the carriage ask with sleepy eyes, "What's going on, John, why did you stop?" ”

"General, general......" The driver did not know how to answer.

As soon as he heard this, Qin Chuan knew that he had made a lot of money this time...... General, there is a British general sitting in an armored car?!

Qin Chuan guessed correctly, there were indeed British generals sitting in the armored car, and there was more than one, there were four generals in the five cars, and there was a car of entourage, but they all fell asleep in the car, so they didn't work until the end.

The four generals were Philip. Lieutenant General Nimes, Richard. Lieutenant General O'Connor, as well as two major generals' staff officers.

These two lieutenant generals are not ordinary people (in fact, none of them can be lieutenant generals in war).

Philip. Lieutenant General Nimes is the current commander-in-chief of the British command in Cyrenaica, and simply put, he is the direct command of the entire British army on the front line at this time.

Richard. O'Connor was even more extraordinary...... He was the predecessor of Lieutenant General Nimes, and it was General O'Connor who had recently led the British to crush the Italian army and capture 130,000 of its Italian officers and soldiers.

This battle brought General O'Connor to fame, and he was promoted to commander-in-chief in Egypt, and his duties were taken over by General Nimes.

It's just that this Nimes general is unlucky...... O'Connor was in office when he faced an Italian army that was crushed by a single blow, and General Nimes ran into Rommel, who led the 5th Light Panzer Division to land in Africa, and fled all the way there.

Wavell believed that at least part of this was due to General Nimes' poor command, so he sent General O'Connor, who had been a leader in the North African theater, to "assist" General Nimes in commanding the battle, hoping to turn defeat into victory.

But who wants to ...... General O'Connor had not been here for a few days before he plunged headlong into the German troops.

Hearing that the two generals had been captured, the surrounding German soldiers gathered around to catch a glimpse of the British generals.

Qin Chuan said to General Nimes and General O'Connor, who got out of the car with blank faces: "Welcome, General, I think your choice is correct!" ”

General Nimes glared at the driver fiercely and said, "Well done, John, we should really give you a medal!" ”

"Don't worry, General!" Qin Chuan replied while disarming General Nim and the others: "We will issue a medal to him!" ”

A considerable number of the German soldiers knew English, and they couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

The driver looked helpless, this was probably the most thing he had ever done in his life, sending four generals to the enemy......

However, it seems that he cannot be blamed, first of all, no one would expect to encounter a large German army outside Tengetener, and secondly, it is not yet dawn, and this is a desert, and the car window is always covered with a thick layer of dust, so he can't tell whether this team is British or German.

But now it's too late to say anything, and the driver can only accept his fate.

Soon after, Colonel Slain also rushed to hear the news, and he apparently had seen the pictures of Lieutenant General O'Connor and Lieutenant General Nime, so he recognized them at a glance.

"God!" Colonel Slein was surprised and said, "General Nimes, General O'Connor...... Have you come to take me captive? ”

The Germans burst into laughter again.

"Well done, Sergeant!" Before taking the two generals away, Colonel Slane patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder: "We got off to a good start, didn't we?" This seems to validate that your plan is right! ”

With that, he ordered the guards to escort General Nimes and the others away, and they needed to hurry up and conduct an interrogation to obtain more information.

Then, Qin Chuan found that the German soldiers around him were all looking at him in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan said: "It's just a matter of capturing a few generals, and you also have a share!" ”

"Not because of the captured general!" The baker said.

"What's the reason for that?" Qin Chuan was a little puzzled.

"So......" said Bazel, "you made this crazy plan?" ”

Qin Chuan realized the problem at this time.

"I'm just giving the colonel a suggestion!" Qin Chuan explained: "I didn't expect the colonel to agree!" ”

Bazel shook his head and sighed, "Sergeant, do you know how I reacted when I heard about this plan?" I was scared...... Because I think it's all about chance, but when I think about it, it makes sense. I couldn't imagine that the man who came up with this plan was standing in front of me...... Attaboy! ”
