Chapter 218: Guerrillas

Faced with these problems, the British army was actually in a dilemma.

A complete elimination of those underground organizations may have some results, but it is obvious that this will not solve the problem, because in the process of manhunting and purging, it will inevitably intensify the conflict between the British army and the Egyptian people.

For example, after the guerrillas attacked the warehouse, they distributed materials to the people, and at the same time, the guerrillas fought for Egypt's independence and self-determination, so of course they could get the support of the Egyptian people, and in the process of purging and suppressing, it was inevitable that the people would be killed or injured, so it was inevitable to cause public anger.

This may not be a problem for the British army in peacetime, and any contradictions will be resolved by force, and the Egyptian military and civilians can only compromise if they want to survive.

But now it is different, this is a critical period for the German army to fight against the British army, if Egypt vigorously breaks out at this time of the full-scale independence movement, then the British are afraid that they will not be able to eat and walk away.

But this problem can't be left that at that.

If nothing is seen, it is encouraging the partisans to act more aggressively, and the morale of the British army will be damaged.

After thinking about it, Montgomery ordered: "Leave it to the African Army to deal with!" ”

"Yes, General!" Degan replied.

That's the way to do it...... The African Army is equivalent to a puppet army, and if they come forward to clean it up, they can try to avoid the conflict between the British army and the Egyptian people and reduce the possibility of intensification of conflicts.

But this is also no way, the African Army is also Egyptian anyway, on the surface it submits to the British colonization, but in the heart it is very much expected to achieve real independence, from the perspective of interests, the African Army will not sincerely help the British colonizers to do anything.

Of course, this is inseparable from the secret efforts of Qin Chuan and Colonel Slain.

Colonel Slein was originally in charge of the training of the guerrillas, and the Germans were no strangers to this aspect, because at this time the Germans already had considerable experience in sabotage, reconnaissance, and other operations behind enemy lines.

They have been doing this since ......the beginning of the Second World War, and this is also the requirement of the "blitzkrieg", one of the conditions for the successful implementation of the "blitzkrieg" is that there must be accurate intelligence, only then can the German army clearly know the enemy's weaknesses and break through.

As a result, the Germans always sent a group of reconnaissance troops to operate behind enemy lines before the war, and even in the years before the war, they had the foresight to train a group of troops who could speak native English, which allowed them to disguise themselves as British soldiers and blend into the Allied ranks.

But for these Egyptian guerrillas, Colonel Slain was somewhat helpless.

One day, Colonel Slane complained to Qin Chuan: "Sergeant, I almost want to give up, if I don't think they are still a little useful......

"What happened?" Qin Chuan asked.

"They're not qualified soldiers at all!" "All they seem to be able to do is reload and pull the trigger," Colonel Slane said...... No, there are some of them who don't even know this, and I don't think you should expect too much from them! ”

Qin Chuan understood what Colonel Slain meant.

For the German army, those who can take on the task of carrying out activities deep behind enemy lines are the elite of the elite, who master the use of a variety of weapons and equipment, are proficient in many Chinese languages (otherwise they cannot disguise themselves as enemies), and especially have good psychological quality, etc., which can almost be said to be modern special forces.

Therefore, it is very controversial in the West to call Weiver the founder of special operations, because the German army had already applied special operations to actual combat before him.

Therefore, Colonel Slein thought that in order for the Egyptian guerrillas to perform the same task, they must of course have the qualities of German scouts to cope with all kinds of unexpected situations, not to say that they should be the same as the German army, at least about the same or passable.

However, the reality is very cruel...... The quality of the Egyptian partisans can almost be described as peasants with guns.

The gap was too great for Colonel Slain to accept for a moment.

"They will be killed by the British in the first place!" Colonel Slane shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think there's any point in training them, it's a waste of time!" ”

Later, Qin Chuan learned that because Colonel Slain required strict training intensity...... In fact, in the eyes of Colonel Slein, the intensity of this training was not great at all, it was only the intensity of ordinary German soldiers, but even this Egyptian guerrillas could not bear it.

As a result, the guerrillas revolted and even demanded to withdraw from the training.

"So be it!" Colonel Slane said, "Tomorrow you come with me to the training ground!" ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

The next day, Qin Chuan and Slain came to the guerrilla training camp.

The camp was located in a barracks north of Alexandria, which was originally the Egyptian police department. Of course, it was a police station placed by the British, and it was naturally taken over by the guerrillas after the British were driven out.

As soon as he walked in the gate, he saw a group of Egyptian guerrillas practicing, and Qin Chuan was a little surprised that the instructors were not German officers, but they themselves were practicing.

Colonel Slain shrugged his shoulders and said, "Look, they don't want us to interfere, and that's one of the reasons I want them to get out!" ”

Qin Chuan understood Colonel Slain's difficulties.

It's really hard to deal with this situation...... In terms of force, of course, the Germans could crush these Egyptian guerrillas, but the problem was that if the Germans did so, they would turn against the Egyptians and would not be able to get their support.

This seems to explain that the guerrillas don't want to undergo too strong training, but Qin Chuan thinks that things will not be so simple.

"Colonel!" At this time, an Egyptian officer in camouflage uniform greeted him and shook Colonel Slane's hand.

"General Shreif is their commander!" Colonel Slane introduced to Qin Chuan.

Then Colonel Slane introduced Qin Chuan to General Shreif: "This is Second Lieutenant Flick!" ”

Hearing this, Shreif couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan with some surprise, and then said in skilled English: "You are the legendary sergeant?" I've heard of you! ”

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and shook hands with Shreif and said:

"Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you!" General Shreif said, "You did a great job, second lieutenant. Especially the trick of using a loudspeaker to advertise...... I heard that it was done at your suggestion, and that was the key to our victory in Alexandria! ”

"Thank you, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I just want to know if we have given you weapons and supplies as agreed!" ”

"Of course!" General Shreif raised his head at the partisans who were training and said, "Look at the rifles in their hands!" ”

"Then why don't you want to trust us?" Qin Chuan asked.
