"The airport warehouse was attacked by the enemy and fuel supplies were bombed!"

"The bus station warehouse was attacked, and fuel supplies were blown up!"

“The 312 Highlands are lost!”

“219 Highlands are lost!”

"Enemy armored troops were found near Tozer!"

...

One after another, the information was handed to Montgomery and Eisenhower. As the staff marked the information on the map in time, the beads of sweat on Montgomery's forehead oozed down his cheeks.

"We fell into the German trap!" Eisenhower said: "They made the whole of Tunisia a trap, surrounded our two armored divisions, one airborne division and one airborne regiment!"

"How much fuel do they have?" asked Montgomery.

"The 15th Armored Division has only less than one day of fuel left, and the 7th Armored Division can barely use it for three days!"

The 15th Armored Division is the troops stationed in Gafsa. They have no reserves because they are in the supply city of Gafsa. They are immediately short of fuel as soon as the fuel is blown. On the contrary, the 7th Armored Division, who are fighting on the front line, can still hold on for a while.

But Montgomery knew that there was no difference. The 7th Armored Division had entered the depth of Tunisia, and the fuel was almost consumed after driving the tanks back.

"The airport is still in our hands!" Montgomery turned his eyes to Eisenhower.

"Yes!" Eisenhower replied: "But we can't have hope for the airport. First of all, in addition to blowing up the supply warehouse last night's sneak attack, gasoline also caused a fire, and most of the facilities in the airport were burned. In addition..."

Eisenhower pointed to a point on the map and continued: "The loss of the 312 highlands and several highlands around Gafsa allows the enemy to block the airport with artillery fire!"

Seeing that Montgomery did not respond, Eisenhower said anxiously: "We should find a way to get the army out now. They are our elite troops. We cannot let them be annihilated by the Germans..."

"Of course I know this!" said Montgomery. "Or what do you think I'm thinking about now?"

"Do we have anything else to consider?" Eisenhower said: "Highland 312, it blocks our retreat and can also block the airport!"

"So the Germans' first infantry regiment stationed in the 312th Highlands!" Montgomery said: "The Germans must have prepared, but we still don't know what their preparations are!"

Montgomery's concerns make sense, because he could not imagine that the Germans wanted to trap the Allies with just a few high grounds... As Eisenhower said, those who entered Tunisia were all elites, and not to mention the two armored divisions. They were elites in the African battlefield. Although they failed again and again, they also gave these two troops rich combat experience. The newly formed British First Airborne Division of the British army even started fighting since Germany invaded France. Of course, the Dunkirk retreat was one of them.

Therefore, although the sneak attacks at the airport and bus station warehouses caused heavy losses to the British army, more importantly, the British army's strategy has been declared unsuccessful... Without enough fuel and ammunition, it is almost impossible to achieve the previously set strategic goal, namely, to divide and surround the German army and then break through the Tunisian Strait. The mechanized forces of the British and American troops are all fuel-consuming and ammunition-consuming tigers.

But Montgomery did not think that the German high ground could surround the Allies... The Allies could launch a joint attack on the high ground with internal and external forces, just like the British army took these high grounds.

However, I was deceived again and again before and told Montgomery that the Germans would not be that simple... Could this be another trap for the Germans? What tricks are the Germans playing?!

Obviously, Montgomery has a psychological shadow.

What he didn't expect was that the Germans relied on these high grounds, those fortifications that he didn't take seriously at all.

No matter how hard he thought about it, Montgomery could only try to launch a joint attack on the 312 Heights, which is the German Heights No. 0.

It is said to be a joint attack because Montgomery handed over this mission to the joint combat of the 15th Armored Division and the 1st Airborne Division, and the front was coordinated by the Australian 6th Infantry Division... The three units are all the main forces with strong combat effectiveness and rich experience in the British army.

At this time, Qin Chuan had just returned to the No. 0 Highland.

The soldiers of the French battalion proudly held their guns and waved to the German soldiers cheering and saluting them. The task they completed was enough to make the German soldiers change their attitude of despising them... Respecting the strong is the unchanging law on the battlefield.

"You did it!" Colonel Slake came up and shook hands with Qin Chuan enthusiastically: "It's hard to imagine that you really did it!"

"Colin!" Qin Chuan said: "There is one thing I have to confess to you. The reason they can do it is because they want to prove you wrong!"

"What?" Colonel Slain didn't understand what this meant.

"You haven't believed they can accomplish this before!"

"Oh, yes!" Colonel Slain nodded and replied, "I was wrong!"

Then Colonel Slain turned to the French soldiers and shouted: "I was wrong, brave soldiers, you have done a good job! Now, I will continue to think that you will never defeat the enemy and cannot defend this position..."

French soldiers burst into laughter.

Colonel Slain shouted: "Can you prove me wrong again?"

"Ha!" the French soldiers responded with cheers.

With a "Woo...", several shells exploded near the position.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is a test firing, which means that the British are going to carry out artillery bombing.

Colonel Slain quipped: "Hide yourself, I dare say the British fire will be very fierce this time!"

"Why?"

"Because they were surrounded, they knew that the shells could not be taken back!"

The soldiers burst into laughter.

"Go back to the tunnel!" Slain ordered: "This time, give them good looks!"

The soldiers responded and each followed the traffic trench back to their tunnels. In an instant, only bullet craters, weeds and corpses were left.

Qin Chuan entered the tunnel with the crowd. Seeing Yulia squatting in the corner and silently, he said, "Hey, Major, I'm glad you're still in the tunnel!"

Seeing that Yulia did not respond, Qin Chuan turned around and looked at it, and then seemed to understand something: "I think you have gone out, have you?"

Yulia nodded powerlessly.
