Sure enough, it wasn't long before the sky was filled with the whistling of cannonballs, which either exploded in pieces on one side of the hill or landed far above the soldiers' heads on the other side.

"Get ready for battle!" Qin Chuan patted his ass and got up, and said, "There are not many days of peace!" ”

The French soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, and some of them were so nervous that they couldn't even eat...... In fact, it's not that I can't eat, in this state of tension and excitement, sometimes I know that I am hungry and sleepy, but I just don't have the appetite to eat and can't sleep.

Some French soldiers would go out of their way to talk to the German soldiers, because they thought that the German soldiers had survived many fierce battles, so there must be some secret to it.

But in the end, they will all be disappointed without exception...... There are no secret decisions on the battlefield, and if there is, it's reaction speed and luck.

Qin Chuan guessed correctly, and five days later, the British army launched an attack on the Gabes line...... From this, Qin Chuan guessed that the transportation situation of the British army was not good, otherwise with the port of Tripoli and a large number of American transport ships, it would not have taken five days to accumulate the supplies needed for the attack.

It is also true that in the case of the German army's support for African independence, although the transportation of Britain and the United States cannot be said to be difficult, it can also be described as being blocked at all levels.

In the Suez Canal in Egypt, guerrillas often used mortars and other weapons to carry out sneak attacks on passing ships, causing blockages again and again, which forced the British army to allocate an entire mechanized infantry division to maintain the normal passage of the canal, but even so, there were several "accidents" from time to time.

After crossing the Suez Canal, it will be smoother, and the British and American forces, which have air supremacy, can directly transport supplies to Tripoli.

But there were troubles in Tripoli, and Libyan guerrillas were harassing along the way.

It's as simple as planting a few mines on a highway in the dark...... Some sections of the road lead to Tunisia, that is, the front line, that is, the British troops who will walk on these sections are basically British troops, so when the British military vehicles come up, there is a "boom".

In addition, around the British camps, and even in residential areas, there were people shooting cold shots at the lone British soldiers...... None of this seemed like a big deal, but it was like a fly that kept disturbing the British army, greatly reducing their efficiency and draining their will and morale.

"Phew!" That morning, the radio on the high ground rang out at eight o'clock sharp, and the sound of matches being lit.

Perhaps because of the great success of Qin Chuan's propaganda offensive in Alexandria, or because the German army in North Africa wanted to implement a strategy of rallying Africans to fight against the Allies, Rommel showed enough importance to the propaganda unit, and he immediately established a propaganda group independent of the communication unit.

Its role is to be responsible for propaganda in the African region and the division of the enemy in wartime.

To this end, Rommel also specially transferred several professional female announcers from Germany who could speak proficient English, one of whom was named Julia, who was in charge of battlefield propaganda against the enemy...... That is, she shouted to the Allies through the trumpet, and she would habitually light a cigarette before each speech, and then began her mouth-sturring performance in a charming voice:

"Good morning, Allied soldiers, welcome to the battle! We've been waiting here for a long time, do you know...... The German army has been digging trenches, building fortifications, and waiting for you on the heights with machine guns and artillery ready? Of course, your commanders will not tell you the truth, because they will not care if you live or die......"

Of course, all this was said, and the Allied soldiers realized that the trench in front of them was impossible to breach, and their charge was only death. In addition, they will talk about their wives at home, who may have been in bed with other men at this moment.

"Broadcast Girl" ...... What the German soldiers gave Yulia a nickname, what she didn't realize was that these words would affect not only the Allies, but also the German soldiers who had not been able to return home for more than a year.

"Fuck it!" When the baker heard these voices, he whispered, "The Allied soldiers can go home every few months to have a good time, and we have to stay here all the time!" ”

"That's right!" Werner said: "We should have someone to change it too!" ”

"Forget it, Werner!" Dominic said: "They were all sent to fight the Soviets on the Eastern Front, and it would be nice to have someone to reinforce us!" ”

"Hey!" Qin Chuan interrupted the soldiers' discussion: "If you want to go back alive, don't think about this, it will make you slow to react because of distraction!" ”

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

The soldiers agreed, they all knew that what Qin Chuan said was right, but his behavior was easy to control, but his thoughts were uncontrollable.

On the radio, Yulia's sweet voice continued to talk and laugh: "Think of your children, in your hometown, your relatives are looking forward to your return. You are fighting valiantly here, but those who have evaded military service are ravaging your wife, your daughter, and even your son in your homeland...... If you die here, who is going to stop them? Do you think your government cares about that? No, they're just pushing you into battle, and they're enjoying a warm bed and a sweet red wine......"

Some of this was true, as was the case with the British command vehicles, which hid in the comfort of the command vehicles while the soldiers were outside battling the scorching sun and thirst.

The British couldn't stand it anymore and immediately fired a cannonball in the direction from which the sound came.

But as soon as the cannonballs passed, Yulia's voice continued to pervade the "strafing" of the Allies from the heights below.

Eventually, the British launched an attack on the Gabès line at noon that day.

First of all, as usual, it was a cannonball used for mine clearance, and the continuous explosions completely suppressed Yulia's voice.

However, the German artillery basically did not dare to return fire, because it was daytime, and there were many British reconnaissance planes in the sky watching downward, and once the German artillery opened fire and exposed the target, there would immediately be a piece of shells flying over the artillery position, and even bombers would fly over the artillery position and blow them to pieces.

Then, the British army sent mine-clearing tanks to carry out more detailed mine clearance...... The minesweeping tanks that had been converted from British tanks could not do much in the past, but at this time these minesweepers were converted from "Sherman" tanks.
