Sun Gan didn't dare to be careless, so the whole second class stopped reconnaissance activities, and after dark, everyone gathered again.

"Let's summarize today's situation first", Sun Qian first asked everyone to report the discovery to see if there were any other discoveries besides them.

"Sir, the two of us have found a similar bunker on the right, about 200 meters away from the one found on the left." , said a member of the team below.

"Well, you mark the location. Are there any others? Sun Qian then asked.

"Sir, a similar existence to a bunker has been found in this location." The other team member pointed to the back of the middle of the two bunkers.

"It seems to be an inverted triangle formation, we will all hide tonight, take a good rest, and see how many of these bunkers there are tomorrow. Jack, you're in the first half of the night, and I'm in the second half of the night. ", Sun Qian arranged.

"Yes, sir, I'm still in the middle of the night, you're too tired." , Looking at Sun Gan, who was obviously tired, the second squad leader said to Sun Gan.

"It's okay, it's settled." , Sun Qian said domineeringly.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day everyone spent a whole day finally figuring out the characteristics of the bunkers, which can be used as a single bunker, as a group of bunkers, or even as a single defense as a whole, without relying on the defense line behind them, its individual combat ability can make the attacking side suffer a big loss.

Moreover, these bunkers have hidden communication trenches leading to the main position, and they can get supplies of materials and personnel at any time, even if they can't do it, they can retreat in time. If it hadn't been for the discovery of the ventilation hole in the hidden traffic trench, it would have been really difficult for Sun Qian and the others to figure out the situation.

After five days of day and night, they finally completed the reconnaissance of the enemy's forward positions, and it was impossible for them to go inside. Sun Qian thought about it and had no choice but to retreat.

As for the opponent's weapon configuration, except for what the opponent can be exposed, there is no progress at all.

Everyone carefully avoided the minefield and finally returned to the starting point of the front, but it was not yet the agreed time, so they had to walk back.

After a night's march, the group returned to the camp. The other classes also came back except for the one led by Sun Xing, and Sun Xing also returned to the camp one day later.

The results of this reconnaissance trip were much the same.

According to the summary of the reconnaissance results, Sun Qian found that the entire Siegfried defense line was well organized, from the outermost warning minefield, to the dark bunker group at the enemy's front, and finally to the large bunker group. constitutes a tactical front in depth, and this is not counting the depth of the main defensive positions.

After discussion, everyone felt that there was little point in continuing to reconnoitre, and even Sun Gan felt the same way.

Just when Sun Qian was about to write a reconnaissance briefing, Sun Xing, who had never expressed his position, put forward a bold hypothesis, and he put forward a bold viewpoint.

"Sir, I think we still have a chance." , After listening to Sun Xing's words, a group of people surrounded them.

"Look here, this is the defensive junction of the German Second and Fourth Armies. There is a straight mountain in this position. After careful observation, I found that there were no enemy personnel on top of this cliff, and we only found a few sentry posts at the bottom of the cliff, and there were not many personnel, so we should be able to deal with it as long as we were taken by surprise. Sun Xing explained, pointing to the map.

Looking at the location on the map, Sun Qian decided to do another reconnaissance to confirm Sun Xing's information.

So Sun Qian led Sun Xing and a few team members who were good at climbing to set off again.

After two days of cautious action, everyone finally found their place.

"Young master, you see that's it." , Sun Xing pointed out the direction to Sun Qian.

Following the direction Sun Xing pointed, Sun Qian began to observe carefully, and he found that the situation was similar to what Sun Xing said. As for whether you can climb it, it depends on the evaluation of professionals. As for the guard post under the cliff, Sun Qian also discovered the weakness of the other party through observation.

Maybe it's a remote location, and there is a cliff behind them, and the other party's observation direction is towards the front of the cliff, and they don't care about the situation behind their observation post. In addition, the age of the guards here is obviously low, and many of them behave similarly to recruits, and Sun Qian estimates that the other party has not been in the army for a long time.

After discovering the weakness of the other party, Sun Qian still couldn't get over, because several of the opponent's checkpoints were within each other's sight, and if there was a problem, everyone would fall into passivity.

Sun Qian, who had no choice, still decided to wait and see the situation, although Sun Xing found out here last time, but because he was also responsible for the investigation of other places, he didn't stay for long.

After waiting for two days, Sun Qian and the others finally discovered each other's true weaknesses.

There are two weaknesses. One was the water source, and their water source was a waterhole not far from the checkpoint, and there was no one to protect it. The other most important thing is that the defenders of the German army actually belonged to different formations, there were only a few checkpoints, and they were actually garrisoned by personnel from two armies, which can be proved by the two telephone lines found by Sun Xing.

After staying for another two days, Sun Gan and the others found that the logistical supply time of the two armies was also different, and there was a time difference in the middle, when he saw with his own eyes that the defenders of an entire outpost ran to the territory of another outpost to eat and drink.

Sun Qian saw that the reconnaissance was almost over, and decided to go back and report to Lieutenant Colonel Memphis.

He didn't withdraw Sun Xing and them, but brought a team member back with him, and he also wanted Sun Xing and them to try to see if there was any possibility of climbing this cliff.

…………

Time will always become long in waiting, and after Sun Gan came back and reported the previous reconnaissance situation to Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, he couldn't wait for Sun Xing and them, which made Sun Qian a little worried. It wasn't until Sun Qian couldn't bear to go again that Sun Xing and the rest of the team returned to the camp.

Seeing everyone come back safely, Sun Qian was very happy.

"Sir, we're back to tell you good news, there's a very easy climb on the side of that cliff, which can be reached directly to the top, and it's still so remote that only a nearby checkpoint can find it. We tried it boldly, but the other party's outpost was very slow to respond, and there was every chance that they would pass while they went to other outposts to ask for supplies. Sun Xing happily told Sun Qian what he had discovered.

"Great, this information is too timely, I'm worried about how to explain it to the battalion commander, go, follow me to the battalion commander." , Sun Qian said happily.

After the two found the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, they reported in detail the situation discovered by Sun Xing's reconnaissance, and Lieutenant Colonel Memphis also attached great importance to it. Looking at the locations marked on the map, he also felt that it was an opportunity.

"So, Captain Sun Qian, do you have any specific plans?" , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis asked Sun Qian.

"That's what I thought, sir. You see, our mission is a reconnaissance mission, and I want to take a radio station first. If possible, I'll take people to reconnoiter in depth with the enemy, and I'll need a few guys who know German. Sun Qian thought for a while and gave the answer.

"Can you tell us more about what you think?" , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis then asked.

"Sir, I think so, I want to divide this reconnaissance into two phases. The first stage is "luring the enemy to open fire", I want to trouble you to apply for a firepower strike with the coalition forces, of course, the timing is very important, if it is too early, the strategic intention will be exposed, and if it is too late, the intelligence value will be reduced, so this has to be mastered by you. In the second stage, I wanted to conduct a disguised reconnaissance, which is why I wanted a few guys who knew German, and my second platoon leader, Lieutenant Memphett, was brave and resourceful, and was very suitable for this disguised reconnaissance mission. Sun Qian explained.

"You let me think about it, you go back and wait for my news first, have a good rest these days, don't go out, wait for my call." , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis did not directly agree, Sun Gan's actions required the cooperation of the coalition command, which required him to do his work. This is not something he can decide now, and now he has no choice but to send the situation back to China, and let the commanders bargain with the British and French forces.

"Yes, sir. Then we'll go back first. Sun Qian said everything he could say, and all that was left was to wait. It's just the right time to adjust it, so why not. So he and Sun Xing also left happily.
