Chapter 55: Justification
In North Africa, if there's one thing that impresses people during the day, it's the heat!
But Trode was the lucky ones among the toiling masses, and there was a large cedar forest near Batna, so it was a good choice to cool off under the tall cedars.
However, the physical coolness cannot suppress the psychological boredom
Just a few days later, in the cedar forest outside Batna, Trode and the others were discussing something
“FUCK! Why can't they see the situation clearly? Hans kicked a cedar tree with his foot, but the tall and straight cedar was unmoved, and silently reduced the power of the foot to nothing.
"Don't be angry, it's clear that they have their own reasons for doing this." Trode said helplessly, although he persuaded Hans like this, but he also had a lot of resentment in his psychology.
The cause of this incident must also start from the night battle a few days ago, through which the Trood not only destroyed one of the enemy's ammunition depots, but also found out the true situation of the enemy's strength. This information was passed on to Constantine's command by Batna's chief of defense, but the reply was to continue to defend and observe.
In the face of the important information that Trode had risked to obtain, the Command's answer was very cold, and when Trode and the others received this reply, almost everyone present almost blew their lungs, except Vincent who remained calm.
At first, Trode and they hoped that after receiving this information, they could quickly send troops to support them, and break the French in front of them in one go, but this cold reply formed a strong gap in their hearts.
Facing Vincent, who was still very calm, Trode asked with some puzzlement: "Why aren't you angry at all?" ”
"Hehe, it's useless to be angry. Also, when he came back in disgrace, I had already guessed that this was the result. He said and pointed at the defense chief, keeping his head down ever since he had finished sending a message to Trode.
In fact, the defense chief's heart was actually very uncomfortable, he felt that he could send such an important piece of information on behalf of Trode, which was a very honorable thing, and he wanted the people in the command to send more troops under his own persuasion, but he touched the dust of his nose, and at the same time he was deeply disappointed, he also felt sorry for Trode and them, and lived up to their expectations.
"Forget it, there's nothing more to say, that's the order of the superiors, we have to obey it, okay, that's all for today." Trode finished saying this sentence like a broken jar, which meant the end of the meeting.
In this way, the small meeting of the day ended unhappily, and everyone held their breath and slept badly, and the next day, Trode gathered everyone into the cedar forest on the outskirts of Batna, and this was the scene above
"Bitter?" Hans said in a tone of obvious questioning: "What can they do?" They threw all their forces on the Tunisian side, and the battle with the British was in full swing. But only a few divisions were placed on the Algerian side to block it, and almost all of them were the poorly equipped! ”
Hans made a point, our upper echelons took the main forces to fight the British in Tunisia, and then all their attention was on that side, and they didn't care about the enemy on the Algerian side, if they could give more troops, no, just more new equipment, the defenders on this side would be able to break through the French forces and not be harassed by them endlessly.
"Don't worry." Vincent walked over and patted Hans on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and then he said slowly: "It is estimated that large-scale military support is impossible, and you should know that they can't withdraw from the British to help this side. ”
He paused, then continued: "All you want to do now is to equip these troops with new weapons so that they can defeat the French. ”
"That's right, if the French can be wiped out, these divisions can also be sent to Tunisia to help them fight the British, isn't this a plan to kill two birds with one stone?" Hans calmed down a bit, but was still very dissatisfied.
"If there are new weapons, with these armies, it should be possible to break through, but it is impossible to destroy the light." Vincent said leisurely, listening to his tone very much like that of an elder.
Hearing this, Hans's tone became a little excited again: "How can it not work? Our weapons are far superior to theirs, and there is only one way to fight us! ”
"Hey! Feed! Vincent waved his hand to let him suppress his emotions again, and then explained to him: "Don't always think about what you did in the military academy, sometimes tactics are dead, but people are alive. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Trood, intrigued by Vincent's words, hurried to ask him.
Vincent pouted and said: "The plain terrain of Algeria is too vast, our divisions will definitely not be able to expand all of them, the only thing we can do is to push the French front back, and after we withdraw, they will fight back again, so let's stay here with peace of mind, it is estimated that such days will not change for a while." ”
"That" Hans was a little embarrassed by his gaffe after knowing the truth, but he still asked with some reluctance: "Then even if you can't destroy them, it's always good to give them some weapons, you see like Butner here, before we came, the local defenders had been bullied by the enemy's tank troops, this is true"
"I guess there's a reason for that, it should be the meaning of the upper echelons." Vincent whispered something that made us all keep our eyes glued to him.
"What? Let's be beaten is also the meaning of the above? Trode asked, puzzled.
Vincent sighed and said: "This is a sign of weakness, if we are too strong, the French may go to find their allies, the British army, in this case, the pressure on the front line will increase, and the army here will not be able to withdraw too much in order to defend against the enemy's sneak attack, which is not good news for the main forces fighting in Tunisia." ”
"Okay, okay" Trode accepted Vincent's defense to the higher-ups, and then asked the people around him: "Then let's not think about the big battle, but I think it also gives us a chance to perform." ”
After hearing this, everyone looked at Trode with a smile
