Chapter 331: The Tunnel
Qin Chuan's face turned cold, and he was about to give the unknown soldier a little color, but Sergeant Dominic went up and gave the guy a rifle butt to knock him to the ground.
"Hey!" A group of 200 German troops immediately surrounded them, and one of the Germans came up and pushed Sergeant Dominic.
Werner and others also greeted him immediately...... What kind of character is the First Step, how can you still be afraid of the 200th Division, these new recruits who have just arrived in Africa.
Qin Chuan Shi Ran walked up and said, "Your superiors have at least taught you to maintain basic politeness to friendly troops!" ”
"That's my business, Lieutenant!" A German captain squeezed over, he looked at the soldier who was lying on the ground with his head covered, and said dissatisfiedly: "You should be the ...... I should discipline my subordinates."
"I think I'm in good hands, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied unceremoniously: "They will never be soft when they kill people, whether it is an enemy or their own people, as long as they don't respect them!" ”
The captain couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Qin Chuan to dare to speak to him like this, at least his military rank was one level higher than Qin Chuan, which was almost challenging the captain's authority.
"Put your name on it, Lieutenant!" The captain said angrily.
"What he said is true!" At this time, Major General Neumann appeared in front of everyone.
He nodded at Qin Chuan and the others, and then said to the captain: "Captain Baker, standing in front of you is what you often call Lieutenant Flick, do you think you have enough strength to challenge him and his troops?" ”
Hearing this, the captain couldn't help but be stunned, he glanced at Qin Chuan in astonishment, and then stepped forward to Major General Neumann and said, "No, general!" ”
Major General Neumann waved at Captain Baker, and Captain Baker and his party hurriedly withdrew with the wounded soldier.
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant!" Major General Neumann shook Qin Chuan's hand and said helplessly: "You know, there are very few beautiful ladies here, I apologize for their rudeness!" ”
"I understand, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I have to do it too!" ”
Qin Chuan's words are not false, because this is directly related to Qin Chuan's command of the French battalion...... If Qin Chuan or Dominic didn't stand up for the French soldiers, they would soon lose the trust of the French soldiers, especially at such a sensitive time.
But now, the French soldiers look at Qin Chuan and his subordinates differently, because they will not hesitate to turn against the German officers and soldiers for the sake of the dignity of the French.
Major General Neumann glanced at the French battalion and nodded in understanding.
"We call this Heights Zero!" Neumann opened a map as he walked, and Neumann pointed to a dot and said, "The location is here, fifteen kilometers south of Gafsa." The reason why we called this place Ground Zero is because we wanted to use it as a template. You know, I can't let you go to every high ground and tell them what's wrong, but I can let you teach a group of officers and get them back to do the right thing! ”
"We're running out of time!" Qin Chuan said.
"So we're going to move faster!" General Neumann said: "They have already started!" ”
With that, General Neumann took Qin Chuan along a mountain road and walked around the corner, where a group of German troops was busy building tunnels.
Qin Chuan stepped forward to take a look and shook his head.
"Any questions?" Major General Neumann asked.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "You should not choose a location that is easy to dig as a tunnel entrance, the reason is very simple, our easy digging means that the enemy is also easy to gain a foothold here and block the tunnel mouth with firepower and even throw explosive bags and grenades into the tunnel!" ”
Hearing this, Major General Neumann couldn't help but nodded, and then shook his head again: "But Lieutenant, this has always been a problem for us, and many people even think that this tactic is not applicable at all, because we build a tunnel mouth anywhere, and the enemy seems to be able to blow it up and bury the soldiers in it!" ”
Major General Neumann was right, you must know that this is just a mountain, it really can't be done, the British and Americans can also be tied with ropes and hoisted to a suitable position like a mountaineer to throw the explosive bag into the mouth of the tunnel.
So, to some extent, no matter where the tunnel mouth is built, it is impossible to avoid being blown up.
"First of all!" Qin Chuan said: "The most difficult thing in tunnel warfare has never been the construction of tunnel fortifications, but the need for a group of fearless soldiers who can survive and maintain combat effectiveness in the harsh and even life-threatening environment of the tunnel!" ”
"I agree!" Major General Neumann replied: "But I believe my men can!" ”
Qin Chuan does not doubt this, if the German army can't do it, then no one can do it in the whole of Europe and the United States.
"Secondly!" Qin Chuan said: "We must be prepared for the mouth of the tunnel to be blown up at any time, but we can build a hidden ventilation hole, so that even if the mouth of the tunnel is blown up, the soldiers can survive inside." At the same time, we can also build invisible tunnel openings! ”
"Invisible pit mouth?" Hearing this, Major General Neumann couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "To put it simply, there can be several pit openings leading to the interior, but we have blocked the other pit openings in advance, so the enemy only sees one pit entrance!" ”
Hearing this, Major General Neumann couldn't help but let out an "oh": "When necessary, such as at night, we can dig through the blocked tunnel mouth from the inside!" ”
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "We can even block the mouth of the tunnel very tightly, and the enemy can't find it from the surface at all!" ”
Major General Neumann nodded: "These tunnel openings may even be next to the enemy's ammunition depot or barracks, and they will be unable to defend against them!" ”
"Yes!" Qin Chuan continued: "What's more important is ...... Some tunnels are difficult or costly to blow up! ”
"For example......"
"For example!" Qin Chuan stepped on his feet and said, "While we are digging a tunnel mouth here, we will also dig one or two corresponding tunnel mouths on the high ground opposite!" ”
Major General Neumann couldn't help but suddenly realize and said: "They can cover each other!" ”
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "But the enemy tries to blow up this pit with explosives packs or grenades, then they will light their backs in front of that pit, and when the enemy wants to solve that pit first, they enter the firing range of this pit ......"
"Great!" Major General Neumann said: "In this way, we should divide the position of the tunnel mouth into three layers, upper, middle and lower, so that they will cover the entire opposite side and cover each other, so as to form a combat system instead of a separate tunnel!" ”
Major General Neumann understood very quickly, after all, he was a general who had studied military theory and had actual combat experience.
