Chapter 48: Tugra

In fact, Qin Chuan's plan has another advantage, that is, "speaking east and attacking west".

This is similar to Rommel's disobedience to obey the order and "be blessed in disguise": Hitler ordered Rommel to garrison on site and not attack, but this order was intercepted by the British army, so Wei Weir judged that Rommel would not attack, but who knew that Rommel chased the British army and fought hard all the way to Maychile without stopping.

Similarly, Rommel ordered Colonel Slein to defend Tenger Tengel. After receiving this news, the British army thought that the Germans would definitely not be able to escape in Tenger Tengel, so all plans were based on the Germans in Tenger Tengel, and there was no defense in other places.

They would never have thought that Colonel Slain was also a disobedient person, so the British would suffer a secret loss again because they could decipher German codes.

Of course, Qin Chuan could not say this to Colonel Slein, otherwise Qin Chuan would not be able to explain how he could have known the "super secret"... Even in the whole of Britain, there were probably no more than ten people who knew about this.

That night, the First Infantry Regiment left Tengertel under the leadership of Colonel Slein.

In order to confuse the British army, Colonel Slein also left an infantry company in Tengertel.

The infantry company scattered around Teltenger in squads, firing shots outside the city from time to time, and sometimes firing one shot.

They were ordered to hold on until the last moment, when the British army attacked Tenger... At this time, they had to do the last thing: detonate the gasoline and ammunition in the warehouse.

As for how this company withdraws... no one said that it seems to be a trivial matter.

But Qin Chuan knew that this was not a trivial matter, at least not for this company, because they were likely to stay in Tenger Tenger forever.

This made Qin Chuan a little unable to adapt. How could a company with more than 100 infantrymen say that, and then give up... But then Qin Chuan thought that this might be a very common thing on the battlefield, because in battle, there will always be such a situation where "sacrifice the ego and save the ego" is needed.

At this time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think: "What if the company he stayed in Tenger Tenger to perform the 'last mission' was his company?"

Qin Chuan didn't dare to think about it because he could not bear the consequences of this assumption. Qin Chuan couldn't help looking back at Tenge Tengle, who was still gunshot behind him, as if he saw several German soldiers saying goodbye to the photos of his wife and children in the dark.

This is war! Qin Chuan sighed.

The troops, led by scouts, left the city in the dark, banned their words and walked.

The purpose of the ban is very obvious, in order to prevent the British army from noticed.

However, the "forbidden" mentioned here is not as simple as it sounds. The order requires everyone to fill their kettles... The kettles are filled and there will be no sound when they walk. Two kettles must be one left and one right, and items that may collide and make sounds must be wrapped in cotton cloth, etc. After preparing, the soldiers will also walk back and forth alone to verify that they can meet the standards.

The purpose of walking is actually the same as banning... If you drive a car, the car motor will reveal its feet as soon as it sounds.

However, this will bring a series of problems. How to carry supplies without a car?

It's okay to say that the ammunition of the First Infantry Regiment consumed a lot of ammunition in previous battles, especially the 105MM howitzers... They only had three of them used normally during the bombing of British fighter jets, so Colonel Slein simply ordered them to be left in Tengertel.

If the howitzer is not in hand, the ammunition of light weapons can be distributed to the soldiers to carry them. What Qin Chuan is a little worried is... Even with all the ammunition, there are only eighty bullets in hand, plus the remaining ones before, all ninety-three. The amount of ammunition... is it enough for the troops to shoot down the supply line, and then occupy Tobrook and guard it?

This is something to worry about in the future. Many people in front of them think that they can't walk long in the desert like this.

Of course, this idea makes sense. The soldiers only have two pots of water on their bodies, which is only enough for two days... If the water consumption increases when the war starts, it may be consumed in a few hours.

But Colonel Slain said: "If there is no water, go to the British and grab it!"

This made Qin Chuan think of the old song: "No food, no clothing, no one, there is the enemy who will come forward..."

Unexpectedly, Colonel Slain also had such ideological awareness.

However, the German soldiers were in a state of mind, which could be seen from the expressions on the faces of the soldiers around them... Although they didn't say anything, because they couldn't speak at first glance, it seemed no different from usual, but they felt that they were afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back.

About half an hour later, the troops successfully passed through the British blockade area.

This is one of the benefits of fighting in desert areas... It does not like other terrains, just need to block a few strategic points or necessary paths, such as bridges, highlands, etc., to block the enemy. The desert can and can be used everywhere. It is very difficult to block it and it also requires more troops.

After lifting the ban, Werner, who had long been unable to hold back, took a few steps and caught up with Qin Chuan and asked in a low voice: "Sergeant, have we gone in the wrong direction?"

"Why do you think so?" Qin Chuan asked back.

"Shouldn't we go west to Mechile and join the main force?" Werner said and raised his head to the sky. There was a North Star over there... Not long ago, Qin Chuan taught Werner to use it to identify the direction.

"No, we did not go wrong!" Qin Chuan replied.

"But we are obviously heading east!" Werner couldn't help but feel anxious: "We are heading towards the enemy!"

"What we are going to is the East!" Qin Chuan replied in a low voice: "You are right, you are heading towards the enemy!"

Hearing this, the people around him cast a surprise look at Qin Chuan.

In order to keep it a secret, most of the soldiers didn't know about this plan, and even Kuhn... The plan only knows about the first-level officers, of course Qin Chuan is an exception.

"Sergeant!" Werner continued, "I want to know why we are heading towards the enemy?"

"Maybe..." Qin Chuan said: "The order will be dropped soon!"

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, an order came from above: "Speed ​​up, target Tugela!"
