Chapter 335 Tunnel

Qin Chuan's face turned cold. Just as he was about to show off to the ungrateful soldier, Sergeant Dominic went up and gave the guy the butt of his rifle and knocked him to the ground.

"Hey!" A group of German soldiers from the 200th Division immediately surrounded him, and one of them even pushed Sergeant Dominic.

Werner and others also rushed forward immediately... Who is the First Infantry Regiment? Why are they afraid of these new recruits from the 200th Division who have just arrived in Africa?

Qin Chuan walked up calmly and said, "Your superiors have at least taught you to maintain basic courtesy towards friendly forces!"

"That's my business, Lieutenant!" A German captain squeezed over. He looked at the soldier who fell on the ground and covered his head, and said dissatisfiedly: "You should be the one I should discipline my subordinates..."

"I think I'm doing a good job, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied unceremoniously: "They will never show mercy when killing people, whether they are enemies or their own people, as long as they don't respect them!"

The captain couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Qin Chuan to dare to speak to him like this. At least his military rank was one level higher than Qin Chuan's. This was almost a challenge to the captain's authority.

"State your name, Lieutenant!" the Captain said angrily.

"What he said is true!" At this time, Major General Neumann appeared in front of everyone.

He nodded to Qin Chuan and others, and then said to the captain: "Captain Baker, standing in front of you is the Lieutenant Frick you often call. Do you think you have enough strength to challenge him and his troops?" ?"

Hearing this, the captain couldn't help being stunned. He glanced at Qin Chuan in shock, then stood up to Major General Neumann and said, "No, General!"

Major General Neumann waved to Captain Baker, and Captain Baker and his party hurriedly withdrew with the injured soldier.

"Sorry, Lieutenant!" Major General Neumann shook Qin Chuan's hand and said helplessly: "You know, there are very few beautiful ladies here. I apologize for their rudeness!"

"I understand, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I have to do this too!"

What Qin Chuan said is true, because it is directly related to Qin Chuan's command of the French battalion... If Qin Chuan or Dominic do not stand up for the French soldiers, they will soon lose the trust of the French soldiers, especially Still at such a sensitive time.

But now, the French soldiers looked at Qin Chuan and his men differently, because they would actually fall out with the German officers and soldiers for the sake of French dignity.

Major General Neumann glanced at the French battalion and nodded to express his understanding.

"We call this Highland Zero!" Neumann opened a map while walking. Neumann pointed to a point and said: "The location is here, fifteen kilometers south of Gafsa. The reason why it is This is called Highland Zero because we want to use it as a template. You know, I can't let you go to every plateau and tell them what's wrong, but I can let you teach a group of officers and let them. Go back and do the right thing!”

"We don't have much time!" Qin Chuan said.

"So we have to move faster!" General Neumann said: "They have already started construction!"

As he spoke, General Neumann led Qin Chuan along a mountain road and around the corner. As expected, there was a group of German troops busy building a tunnel there.

Qin Chuan stepped forward, took a look, and shook his head.

"Any questions?" Major General Neumann asked.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "You should not choose a location that is easy to dig as the entrance of the tunnel. The reason is very simple. It is easy for us to dig, which means that it is also easy for the enemy to gain a foothold here and block the entrance of the tunnel with firepower or even pack explosives. , Throw the grenade into the tunnel!”

Hearing this, Major General Neumann couldn't help but nodded, and then shook his head: "But Lieutenant, this has always been a problem for us. Many people even think that this tactic is not applicable at all, because we can build tunnel entrances anywhere. , it seems easy for the enemy to blow it up and bury the soldiers inside!”

Major General Neumann is right. You must know that this is just a mountain. If it doesn't work, the British and Americans can also use ropes to hang them to a suitable position like mountaineers and drop explosive bags into the entrance of the tunnel.

Therefore, to a certain extent, no matter where the tunnel entrance is constructed, it cannot avoid being blown up.

"First of all!" Qin Chuan said: "The most difficult thing about tunnel battles has never been the construction of tunnel fortifications, but the need to have a group of fearless soldiers who can survive and maintain their position in the harsh and life-threatening environment of tunnels. Fighting power!”

"I agree!" Major General Neumann replied: "But I believe my subordinates can!"

Qin Chuan does not doubt this. If the German army cannot do it, then no one in Europe and the United States can do it.

"Secondly!" Qin Chuan said: "We must be prepared for the tunnel entrance to be blown down at any time, but we can build secret ventilation holes so that even if the tunnel entrance is blown up, soldiers can survive inside. At the same time, , we can also build invisible tunnel entrances!”

"Invisible tunnel entrance?" Major General Neumann couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "To put it simply, there can be several tunnel entrances leading to the interior, but we blocked the other tunnel entrances in advance, so the enemy only saw one tunnel entrance!"

Major General Neumann couldn't help but said "Oh" when he heard this: "When necessary, such as at night, we can dig out the blocked tunnel entrance from the inside!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "We can even block the tunnel entrances very tightly, and the enemy can't find them from the surface at all!"

Major General Neumann nodded: "These tunnel entrances may even be next to the enemy's ammunition depot or barracks, and they will be unable to defend themselves!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan continued: "More importantly... some tunnel entrances are still difficult to blow up or require considerable cost!"

"For example..."

"For example!" Qin Chuan stepped on his feet and said: "While we dig a tunnel entrance here, we also dig one or two corresponding tunnel entrances on the opposite high ground!"

Major General Neumann suddenly realized Wu said, "They can cover each other!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said, "But if the enemy tries to blow up the tunnel with explosive packs or grenades, they will expose their backs to the tunnel, and when the enemy wants to deal with the tunnel first, they will enter the shooting range of this tunnel..."

"Great!" Major General Neumann said, "So, we should divide the tunnel entrance into three layers: upper, middle and lower, so that they can cover the entire opposite side and cover each other, thus forming a combat system instead of a single tunnel!"

Major General Neumann understood quickly, after all, he was a general who had learned military theory and had practical experience.
