"I think we need to rest, General!" Qin Chuan said.

"Sergeant, I can understand!" Rommel replied: "You do need to rest, but the problem is that we can't wait...... As soon as we stop, the enemy will become stronger and stronger, and there will be no flaws in the El Alamein line! ”

"I don't think so, General!" Qin Chuan said: "Because the British are ready, at least in the northern section of the defensive line, which can be seen from last night's battle." In this case, it did not make much difference to give the British a few more days to prepare, of course their lines of defense would have been strengthened, but what would have been strengthened? Will more troops be committed or more artillery and aircraft? We've endured enough, no more. On the contrary, if we give our soldiers a few days to rest, we can restore a considerable degree of combat effectiveness, such as the repair of broken tanks, such as the recovery of soldiers' physical strength and morale, and for example, more detailed information......"

"Enough, Sergeant!" Rommel impatiently interrupted Qin Chuan's words: "We must attack, we can't give the enemy a chance to breathe!" At the same time, you must understand that there is an essential difference between thinking from the perspective of a general and a soldier! ”

So Qin Chuan knew what Rommel was thinking, and he thought that Qin Chuan was too tired or timid, and subjectively wanted to rest, so he found all kinds of excuses.

Qin Chuan did have such thoughts, but Qin Chuan clearly knew that Rommel was desperate to attack the El Alamein line during the First El Alamein War, and as a result, the German army, which was originally the end of the crossbow, was crushed.

In other words, Qin Chuan was very sure that if he continued to fight according to Rommel's plan, he would only lead to failure.

But what can Qin Chuan do?

Rommel is a stubborn person, and no one can control him in what he believes in, not to mention that Qin Chuan is just a sergeant...... If it weren't for Qin Chuan's meritorious service and saving Rommel, I'm afraid that he would be kicked out by Rommel at this time.

Then, Rommel put Qin Chuan aside and said to General Stryker to himself: "The 21st Panzer Division must be deployed here before dark, and then launch a feint attack on El Alamein, and crush the enemy's armor-piercing troops as soon as they are found out of the city......"

"We don't have enough ammunition, General!"

"No, the ammunition will be in your hands soon!"

……

Rommel was one such person, who was a bit overly speedy and did not take into account the objective situation.

At this time, Qin Chuan realized that he had to think of a practical solution, otherwise the German army would fall into an even greater defeat.

But what can Qin Chuan do?

The front of the line was full of mines, and the Germans would have problems similar to last night at any point of attack...... Sometimes it doesn't matter how many landmines there are, the problem is that they are buried in the ground and cannot be seen, soldiers are afraid of stepping on mines every time they take a step forward, and tanks are afraid that they will be blown into a fireball every meter they advance.

Therefore, unless the German army can quickly clear mines, the advantages of high mobility and rapid breakthrough of its armored forces will not be able to be brought into play at all, and the armored forces will be covered by British artillery fire and suffer heavy losses when clearing mines.

At this time, Qin Chuan suddenly thought of something......

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

"Sergeant!" Rommel said: "If you want to convince me to slow down the offensive, then put these words in your stomach!" ”

"I'm sorry, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I do think so!" ”

"You're very honest!" Rommel turned back and said, "Then let's not waste any more time!" ”

As he spoke, Rommel turned his gaze to the map again.

"Why don't we listen to the sergeant's advice?" Colonel Slain said: "It doesn't take much time! ”

"Yes, General!" General Stryk agreed: "Every time the sergeant says the word 'advice', it usually means that he has a way, and it's a good way!" ”

Rommel looked at the several officers in front of him, and then said to Qin Chuan with a helpless expression: "Okay, sergeant, see what you have to do!" ”

"The way is to rest for a few days!" Qin Chuan said: "We know, in the past few days, do a good job of intelligence work to find the weak point of the defensive line, and then launch a surprise attack on the weak point!" ”

Rommel spread his hands to the officers and asked, "Is this what you want to hear?" ”

Colonel Slain was a little disappointed, and General Stryk was a little embarrassed, because it was too mediocre to be a mediocre approach.

"We can't launch a surprise attack on a weak point, sergeant!" General Albrey interjected: "You took part in that battle last night, and no unit can 'surprise attack' until the mines are cleared!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "So we have to clear the mines quickly!" ”

"How do you clear mines quickly?" Rommel objected: "You mean with shells? God, not to mention that we don't have enough shells, while we are minesweeping, the enemy artillery will blow up all our artillery into the sky! ”

It is clear that the British had much more artillery than the Germans.

"No, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I'm not talking about artillery!" ”

"And what are you talking about?" General Stryk seemed to have heard something.

"Tank!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Tanks?" Colonel Albridge looked at Qin Chuan with an incredulous expression: "No, tanks can't either." You know, the enemy mixes anti-infantry mines with anti-tank mines, and tank demining is not only prone to breakdowns, but anti-tank mines blow them up into the sky...... We don't have many tanks left, Sergeant! ”

"No!" Qin Chuan replied: "Our tanks will not break down during mine clearance, let alone be blown up by anti-tank mines!" ”

The generals couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then laughed in unison.

"Sergeant, are you joking?" Rommel asked, "Thank you, the joke is funny!" ”

"Here's what I think!" Qin Chuan picked up the paper and pen next to him, and said while drawing: "This is the tank ......"

It's just that Qin Chuan's painting skills are really bad, and the tank he painted is like an ugly duckling, but fortunately, the focus is not on this.

"We can install a drum in front of the tank!" Qin Chuan continued: "The drum can be driven by a small motor, such as a motor mounted on the rear armor of a tank...... Then, chains are attached to the drum that whip the ground when the drum spins! ”

Hearing this, Rommel and other generals couldn't help but look at each other.

......At this time, Qin Chuan finished painting, and he excitedly took the crooked painting that looked like a primary school student and said: "Look, this is the minesweeper tank!" ”
