Chapter 363: Victory

Brothers, well to the recruits! The soldiers of the new year are also going to work hard to update, and everyone's monthly passes are welcome to be smashed in piles!

***********

While Major General Burton did not expect things to turn out the way he had hoped, the situation deteriorated further...... Anti-tank mines appeared on the roads, and there were quite a few of them, several "Shermans" had already been blown into a pile of scrap metal by anti-tank mines.

This was a nightmare for the 7th Panzer Division, as it meant that they had to have scouts in front of them and scout for bazooka shooters on the side of the road, so the 7th Panzer Division's march slowed down in progression.

Eventually, Montgomery realized that it was unrealistic to bring all the tanks back, and that the 7th Panzer Division would be blockaded in Tunisia and never get out.

Montgomery changed his mind that night and ordered the 7th Panzer Division to blow up the tanks, transfer all personnel, including the tank crew, to cars and change the route of the march and return quickly.

This one is a beautiful walk.

The reason was that the Germans needed to lay mines or ambush bazooka shooters on the route that the 7th Panzer Division was about to pass through in advance, and if the German army was in a hurry to deploy at the speed of the British tanks.

But the British were all in cars and abruptly changed routes...... The Germans did not react for a moment and were left behind, and it was too late to arrange.

And this action of the British army actually took a big risk.

The reason why the Germans have never had a large-scale ambush of the British 7th Panzer Division is that they are afraid of the firepower and defense of the "Sherman", and now they have abandoned the "Sherman" and marched in the form of pure infantry...... once they are blocked by the Germans, it is likely to be the end of the total annihilation.

The British were fortunate that the main German forces were all located along the Gabes Line, and only an infantry regiment was operating on the Gafsa Road, and they were unable to catch up with the fleeing British in the end.

It's just that before the British left, they staged the Tobruck scene again...... Blowing up their own tanks, unlike the previous "Matilda" tanks, this time they blew up the "Sherman" tanks with excellent performance, a total of 139 units.

Of course, Qin Chuan, who was in the tunnel, didn't know this.

In fact, after the battle of the tunnel defense began, it was easier for those of them who were hiding in the tunnel...... Before the battle started, everyone could only stay in the tunnel in a daze, and after the start, at least there was some fun, such as using cigarettes to bet on how many people would die in the next attack of the British, and then taking turns to enter the sniper room to snipe.

Originally, Qin Chuan thought that Werner's active type would be very painful in the tunnel, but what he didn't expect was that active people would find their own fun wherever they went, for example, at this time, he and Keller each caught a scorpion and used wooden planks to form a "luxurious" arena to fight.

Werner also named the two scorpions: Montgomery and the legendary sergeant.

So Werner was there shouting: "Up, Sergeant Legend, defeat it!" Bite it! ”

"I hear you, Werner!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh a little when he heard this.

Werner raised his head and saw Qin Chuan, and after a flash of embarrassment in his eyes, he replied, "I'm sorry, Lieutenant!" I bet the legendary sergeant will win, you should ask Keller, he bet on Montgomery to win! ”

With a "coax", the soldiers couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Lieutenant!" The baker reported: "Bad news, we don't have much food left!" ”

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan nodded, this was what he expected.

Originally, only a week's worth of food was prepared in the tunnel, but now nine days have passed.

"How much water is left?" Qin Chuan asked.

"That's enough water for us for another five days!" The baker replied.

"So......" Qin Chuan said, "When we go out to trouble the British tonight, you should collect more British food, understand?" ”

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

However, Qin Chuan soon found that this was not much necessary, because the communication soldiers had already run to Qin Chuan and said, "Lieutenant, the British have retreated!" ”

"What?" The baker asked, disbelieving, "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes!" The signal man replied: "It is true, the British have all withdrawn from Gafsa, and we have won!" ”

"Victory!"

The soldiers cheered loudly and hugged each other, if it weren't for the low height of the tunnel, they would have jumped again.

Werner couldn't wait to dig the mouth of the tunnel that had been blown up by the British again, cautiously leaned out to take a look, and then cheered: "Yes, they retreated, we defeated them again!" ”

The soldiers excitedly drilled out of the tunnel, and Qin Chuan was one of them.

The moment I saw the sun, I really felt like I saw the light of day again, and since I came to this world, I have never been so happy when I saw the sun.

Groups of German soldiers came out of their tunnels one after another, all unkempt, but their faces were full of joy, pride and excitement, and some even knelt on the ground and wept with joy......

Qin Chuan could understand their feelings, this was a battle that was different from usual, although the first regiment had experienced a hundred battles, they had never stayed in the tunnel and experienced this kind of psychological torture like this time, everyone who experienced it knew that this was a challenge in itself.

"I think I should thank you, Lieutenant!" Yulia walked up to Qin Chuan.

"I don't think you have anything to thank me for!" Qin Chuan expressed doubt: "If you mean this war...... I had to! ”

"No, it's not just that!" Yulia replied, "I learned something, and while I'm not sure what it was, I'm sure the experience was useful to me!" ”

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Then, it's time for you to go back to Berlin!" ”

"No!" Yulia smiled and replied, "I think I'll choose to stay here!" ”

"Why?" Qin Chuan was a little puzzled: "This place is not for you!" ”

"Who knows?" Yulia looked at Qin Chuan and said, "Maybe this place is suitable for me!" ”

"Lieutenant!" At this time, Colonel Slein beckoned to Qin Chuan a few meters away and shouted, "General Rommel wants to see you!" ”

"There will be a date later!" Qin Chuan said to Yulia.

"There will be a date later!" Yulia gave Qin Chuan a smile.

When Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane walked together, Colonel Slane patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and sighed, "You know? You are amazing! ”

"Please, Colonel!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Colonel Slain said: "I have not praised a person like this, yet ...... I thought that the French army would never be an army, and I also thought that the tunnels would only trap themselves and not defeat the enemy, but now I know that nothing is impossible in your hands! ”
