Chapter 124: Opportunity
Qin Chuan guessed correctly, General Stryk was hesitating because of this matter.
He summoned several regimental commanders to consult in his "Mammoth" command car.
"Gentlemen!" General Stryk pointed to the map and said: "We obviously underestimated the strength of the enemy and misguessed their intentions and deployments, the enemy we encountered in the Gabshali line was not their vanguard, their main force was not behind it but had already crossed our line, but because of this ghost weather, they did not meet us, and now they have recaptured the Gabshali line behind us!" ”
The officers couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, because it also meant that their supplies had been cut off.
"No wonder we haven't been able to find the enemy's main force!" Colonel Albridge said: "The British moved surprisingly fast this time! ”
"Yes!" "As you can see, they are armed with Yankee tanks, and they are quite numerous in number, which is one of the reasons why they were able to quickly cross our lines...... Of course, we didn't find out that they had something to do with the weather! ”
"What should we do now? Checkmate! Colonel Slain asked.
"I think we should return to the Gabshali Line!" Colonel Albridge said: "We tried the tanks of the Americans last night, and they are not difficult to deal with!" ”
"We can blow them all up in the sky!" Colonel Slain agreed.
"That's what I thought too!" General Stryk nodded: "As long as the main British army is inflicted heavy losses, their offensive will completely collapse, and then it will be time for us to launch a counteroffensive!" ”
The officers couldn't help but nod their heads.
But in fact, General Stryker underestimated the enemy, and a very important reason why last night's battle went so smoothly was the night battle.
Night fighting meant that the British could not use air power, and at the same time, night fighting was more beneficial to the well-trained German army, and the German infantry could even coordinate with the tanks through the telephone to become the eyes of the tanks, while the British could only stare dryly because they were not familiar with the "Stuart" and had not been trained in night battles.
"General!" At this time, the signal soldier reported outside the door: "Sergeant Frick wants to see you!" ”
"Sergeant Flick?" General Stryk had almost forgotten the name, but he quickly remembered it, and responded, "Tell him that if he wants to apologize, then you don't have to!" ”
"Okay, General!" The communications officer replied.
If this is the case, Qin Chuan will not have a chance to see General Stryk again, after all, for a sergeant, it is not that he can meet the general if he wants to, especially in wartime.
But when Colonel Albridge heard the name, he glanced at Colonel Slain and said, "Flick...... Is that the guy you brought in last time to make suggestions? I remember he was a sergeant! ”
"Yes, that's him!" Colonel Slain replied, "He's been promoted to sergeant!" ”
As he spoke, Colonel Slane glanced at General Stryker, he didn't want to embarrass General Stryker, he knew that part of the reason General Stryk didn't want to see this sergeant was because he didn't want to "steal chickens" again.
And Colonel Albridge, although he knew about Frick and knew that there was a daring soldier who stole General Stryk's chicken, he didn't know that the person who stole the chicken was Frick.
"I think you should meet this sergeant, General!" Colonel Albridge said.
"Oh, why?" General Stryk asked.
"He might have a good suggestion!" Colonel Albridge explained: "In fact, in the last battle, I was able to win because I took his advice! And he also gave a lot of useful advice......"
As he spoke, Colonel Albridge turned his gaze to Colonel Slain and said, "I think Colonel Slain knows this better!" ”
"Oh yes!" Colonel Slain was a little embarrassed, but he could only reply when he was forced into this job: "General, this Sergeant Flick...... He gave a lot of useful advice. For example, attacking the supply points of the British, and then ...... In short, the First Infantry was able to occupy and hold Tobruk all the way, and it can be said that they were all victorious at his suggestion! ”
The more General Stryk listened, the more frightened he became, although he had read the relevant information before, it was only a glimpse, and it was written that the second company was not a soldier...... This is a characteristic of the German army, which emphasizes the merit of the unit as a whole rather than the merit of the individual, which is the main reason why many of the sniper's achievements cannot be recognized as individual kills.
Moreover, these two regiment commanders can also be said to be the right-hand men of General Stryker: Colonel Albridge is the commander of the main armored regiment, and Colonel Slein, although he is the commander of the infantry regiment, is a miracle feat, and their statement that General Stryk should at least take it seriously.
"Okay!" General Stryk said helplessly: "Let him in!" ”
So Qin Chuan stood in front of all the officers.
Qin Chuan was not surprised at all to see Colonel Slane and Colonel Albridge, the troops were at a crossroads and faced an important choice, of course, they had to be discussed.
"Sergeant!" Colonel Slane nodded at Qin Chuan.
Colonel Albridge leaned over and shook Qin Chuan's hand, saying, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Sergeant!" ”
"Me too, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied and saluted the officers one by one.
"So, Sergeant!" General Stryk said: I am glad that you are standing in front of me above board this time! ”
Colonel Slain certainly knew what General Stryk meant, but Colonel Albridge was confused.
It wasn't until Colonel Slane said a few words next to his ear that Colonel Albridge looked at Qin Chuan with his mouth half-open, and then at General Stryker...... Then he couldn't help laughing, and all the officers, including General Stryk himself, laughed along, and the originally embarrassing atmosphere immediately eased a lot.
"So, Sergeant!" After laughing for a while, General Stryk asked, "Do you have anything to report?" ”
"No, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I don't have anything to report, I'm just worried...... We're going to lose a chance! ”
"Lost a chance?" Hearing this, Stryk couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan suspiciously: "Sergeant, what kind of opportunity do you think we have?" ”
"A chance to get supplies, a chance to defeat the enemy!" Qin Chuan replied.
General Stryker, Colonel Albridge and other officers couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan in shock.
