Chapter 347: Situation

Of course, this separation was not a loss of contact in the actual sense, and the German soldiers immediately tested the radio in the tunnel, and the reply was "everything is fine!" ”。

Yulia was the only one who was abnormal, and she exclaimed nervously, "They blew up the mouth of the tunnel, they really blew up the mouth of the tunnel, we can't get out, God...... We're going to die here! Let go of me, I'm going out ......"

"You can't go anywhere, Major!" As he spoke, Qin Chuan ignored her anymore, and drilled back into his tunnel from the passage with a flashlight.

The waiting time in the tunnel was long and boring, and even in order not to waste too much air, the soldiers had to light as few kerosene lamps as possible, or keep them burning in a dim state. Another reason, of course, was that kerosene was also valuable to the German army.

Qin Chuan was better, because he could know the situation outside the tunnel by radio...... Gafsa's spies would radio the British army's movements into the tunnels.

As a result, Qin Chuan knew that the British army had seriously underestimated the role of the tunnel as estimated, and they even thought that as long as the mouth of the tunnel was blown up, it would be over, and the Germans hiding inside would be suffocated, starved to death, or bored to death in it.

Therefore, the British army only arranged an infantry battalion to garrison Heights Zero, and they deployed their forces more on two heights a few kilometers away from Heights Zero, one on the left and one on the right.

According to the conventional mode of warfare, there is no problem with this arrangement.

The British opened a gap in the German line, and if the Germans wanted to counterattack, they would compress the gap from both flanks, so that holding both flanks could block the German attack.

However, the British did not realize that this was not a regular operation, and that the Germans in the tunnel had a whole regiment, and that one battalion of British troops on the ground was not enough for them.

In other words, this British infantry battalion is actually sitting on a bomb without knowing it.

Eisenhower was also worried, telling Montgomery: "We don't know how many Germans have survived the tunnel, and if at some point, like in the night, they come out of the tunnel......

"Don't worry, Ike!" Montgomery replied confidently: "After blowing up those tunnel mouths, we made signs, planted mines, and not only that, but also arranged for sentinels!" If someone drills out, they'll find out! ”

"Good!" Montgomery's words reassured Eisenhower.

"I don't know what these Germans are thinking!" Montgomery said, "Why do they think they can win this battle by hiding underground? This is ridiculous! ”

Montgomery, of course, could not understand this, for he could not imagine what the Germans had prepared in the tunnel, just as he did not know that the Germans had several exits in the tunnel.

However, Montgomery found out a few days later.

Of course, that's a story for later.

Qin Chuan felt a little more at ease after learning about the deployment of the British army, and now it seemed that all he needed to do was wait.

Just as Qin Chuan was about to lie down and sleep, Vynet burrowed into Qin Chuan's "room".

"Lieutenant!" Venet sat in front of Qin Chuan, breathing a little short.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan asked.

"They want to know we're going to be in the pit for a few days!" "Many people think that what the Major said is right! ”

"Major?" Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Yulia: "What do you think she said is right?" ”

"There's no point in us staying in the pit all the time!" "Some people advocate a breakout! ”

"What about you?" Qin Chuan asked, "What do you think?" ”

Winette burst out laughing and replied, "Well, I'll admit, I just wanted to get this opportunity......"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but hug Venette into his arms, a faint fragrance came to his nose, and Venette's breathing became rapid.

This may be the advantage of being in the tunnel, the light and dark space is relatively closed, which makes Qin Chuan have a rare private space.

However, it was only a little bit, because the space was too small, there was no door in the tunnel, and the passage was used by other people.

After a while, a flashlight flashed at the door, and Winette hurriedly broke free from Qin Chuan's arms.

"Okay!" Qin Chuan said to Vignette: "You go back and tell them, I'll come right away!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Winette straightened her messy hair and blouse while responding, and then hurriedly clicked on Qin Chuan's mouth and ran away with a smile.

After sorting out the documents and calming himself down, Qin Chuan drilled back along the passage.

At this time, there was already a lot of discussion in the main tunnel, and as soon as Qin Chuan arrived, everyone quieted down.

"You're finally here, Lieutenant!" The baker said, "Otherwise, they're going to overthrow this place!" ”

Qin Chuan turned his gaze to the crowd, and when he saw Yuria, he noticed that she had a smug look on her face.

Apparently, she was complacent about her success in seducing these French soldiers.

It should be said that there is some truth in Yulia's words.

If you don't have a plan, then staying in the tunnel all the time is really just waiting for death. Yulia takes advantage of this while also taking advantage of their fear of death...... After all, it is the people of the Propaganda Department.

"Well done, Major!" Qin Chuan said to Yulia: "You have successfully caused me a little trouble!" ”

"Maybe more than that!" Yulia replied, "They agree with me!" ”

"Really?" Qin Chuan turned to the French soldier and asked, "Who?" ”

No one from the French soldiers answered.

"Lieutenant!" Baudouin said: "We just want to know what your plans are? ”

"Yes, we want to know if we're here to die!"

……

"I know!" Qin Chuan said: "I know that none of you trust the Germans, nor do you believe that Germany will win this war, and many of you are still hesitating whether it is worth paying your lives for this war......

After glancing at the French soldiers, Qin Chuan continued: "I think, this is the main reason why you have been worried and have not performed well on the battlefield. But you'll soon find out you're wrong! ”

After a pause, Qin Chuan continued: "You want to know the plan? Or want to know how long you're going to stay here? I can't tell you why, you know, what I can tell you...... We will win this war. If I'm waiting to die here, I'm still here! If anyone wants to follow this woman to death, please, you can save us some rations! ”

Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't tell these French soldiers about the plan, this was a tunnel, and there were many invisible tunnel openings, and it was not certain when a few French soldiers would secretly dig an invisible tunnel entrance and surrender to the British army with a battle plan.
