Chapter 48: Tugla

In fact, Qin Chuan's plan has another benefit, that is, "striking the east and attacking the west".

This is similar to Rommel's disobedience to orders and "a blessing in disguise": Hitler ordered Rommel to stay in place and not to attack, but this order was intercepted by the British army, so Wewer judged that Rommel would not attack, who knew that Rommel chased the British army all the way to Mechile and did not stop.

Similarly, Rommel ordered Colonel Slein to defend Tengeen, and when the British got the news, they thought that the Germans would definitely not be able to escape in Tengeten, so all the plans were based on the Germans in Tengeten, and there was no defense elsewhere.

How could they have thought that this Colonel Slein was also a disobedient master, so the British would once again suffer a secret loss for being able to decipher the German code.

Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't say this to Colonel Slain, otherwise Qin Chuan wouldn't be able to explain how he could know about the "super secret...... Even in the whole of Britain, I am afraid that there will be no more than ten people who know about it.

That night, the First Regiment, led by Colonel Slein, left Tengejel.

In order to confuse the British, Colonel Slain also left an infantry company in Tengetenl.

The infantry company was scattered around Tenentge in squads, occasionally firing a shot at the outside of the city, sometimes with a shot.

They were ordered to hold out until the last moment, when the British army attacked Tengeener...... That's when they had to do one last thing: detonate the gasoline and ammunition in the warehouse.

As for how this company was withdrawn...... No one said, as if it were a trivial matter.

But Qin Chuan knew that this was not a trivial matter, at least not for this company, because they would most likely have to stay in Tenggtenger forever.

This made Qin Chuan a little unable to adapt, an infantry company of more than 100 people, how could he say that he would lose it and give up if he gave up...... But then Qin Chuan thought that this might be a very common thing on the battlefield, because there would always be such a situation in battle where it was necessary to "sacrifice the small self and save the big self".

At this time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think: "What if it is his own company that stays in Tenggtenger to carry out the 'final mission'?" ”

Qin Chuan didn't dare to think about it, because he couldn't bear the consequences of this assumption. Qin Chuan couldn't help but look back at Tengge Tengle, who was still ringing with gunshots behind him, and seemed to see several German soldiers saying goodbye to the photos of their wives and children in the dark.

This is war! Qin Chuan sighed.

The troops, led by scouts, went out of the city in the dark, silent, and on foot.

The purpose of the ban was obvious, in order to keep the British from noticing.

However, the "silence" here is not as simple as it sounds, and the order requires everyone to fill their own water bottles...... When the kettle is full, it will not make a sound when walking, the two kettles must be one on the left and one on the right, and items that may collide with each other to make a sound must be wrapped in a cotton cloth, etc. After getting ready, let the soldiers walk back and forth individually to verify that they are qualified only if they meet the standards.

The purpose of walking is actually the same as silence...... If you get into a car, the horse's feet will be exposed as soon as the motor sounds.

However, this brings up a series of problems: how to carry supplies without a car?

IN TERMS OF AMMUNITION, IT IS GOOD TO SAY THAT THE AMMUNITION OF THE FIRST MARCH CORPS WAS CONSUMED A LOT IN THE PREVIOUS BATTLES, ESPECIALLY THE 105MM HOWITZER...... Only three of them were functionally used during the bombardment by British fighters, and Colonel Slain simply ordered them all to stay in Tengaten.

If the howitzer is not brought, the ammunition of the light weapon can be distributed to the soldier and carried with him, which makes Qin Chuan a little worried...... Even if it is all the ammunition, there are only 80 rounds of ammunition allocated to the hand, plus the remaining before, all of them are only 93 rounds, and the amount of ammunition for this is ...... Will there be enough troops to fight all the way down the supply line and then capture Tobruk and hold it?

This is something to worry about in the future, and many people think that they will not be able to walk long in the desert at all.

Of course, this idea makes sense, and the soldiers only have two pots of water on their bodies, which is barely enough for two days in peacetime...... If the water consumption increases in the course of a war, it may be used up in a few hours.

But Colonel Slain said, "If there is no water, go to the British and grab it!" ”

This reminded Qin Chuan of the old song: "No food, no clothing, the enemy sent forward......"

I didn't think Colonel Slane had such an ideological awareness.

It's just that the hearts of the German soldiers are up and down, which can be seen from the expressions on the faces of the soldiers around them...... Although they didn't say anything, because they couldn't speak at this time, at first glance it seemed to be no different from usual, but it felt a little afraid of wolves and tigers.

About half an hour later, the troops successfully passed through the British blockade area.

This is one of the benefits of fighting in desert areas...... Unlike other terrains, it only needs to block a few strategic points or roads, such as bridges, high ground, etc., to seal the enemy, and the desert can be walked everywhere, it is very difficult to block and requires more troops.

After the ban was lifted, Werner, who had long been unable to hold back, took a few steps to catch up with Qin Chuan and asked in a low voice, "Sergeant, are we going in the wrong direction?" ”

"Why do you think so?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically.

"Shouldn't we go west back to Mechile to join the main forces?" As he spoke, Werner raised his head to the sky, where there was a North Star...... Not long ago, Qin Chuan taught Werner to use it to identify directions.

"No, we didn't go wrong!" Qin Chuan replied.

"But we're obviously going east!" Werner couldn't help but be a little anxious: "We are on our way to the enemy!" ”

"We're going to the East!" Qin Chuan replied in a low voice: "You are right, you are going to the enemy!" ”

Hearing this, the people around him all cast surprised glances at Qin Chuan.

For the sake of secrecy, most of the soldiers were unaware of the plan, even Kuhn...... The plan was only known to officers at the company level, and of course Qin Chuan was an exception.

"Sergeant!" Werner then asked: "I wonder why we are going to the enemy? ”

"Maybe ......" Qin Chuan said, "The order will come down soon!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Chuan's voice fell, an order came from above: "Speed up, target Tugla!" ”

"Tugla......" said the baker, who often looked at the map, "God, we are indeed going to the enemy!" Other words...... We are on the offensive and not retreating! ”
