Chapter 208

Colonel Slain said casually when discussing the issue of supply with Rommel...

"The sergeant actually wanted to use snipers to compress the British's activity space!" Colonel Slain said: "He believes that this can increase the loss of British ammunition!"

"What?" Rommel, who had been frowning, couldn't help but look up at Colonel Slein.

"That's right!" Colonel Slain said Qin Chuan's idea and commented: "This is a crazy idea. I think only this legendary sergeant will think of this tactic!"

But what Colonel Slain didn't expect was... Rommel was also a lunatic.

"This may be a solution!" Rommel said: "If the British can compress the space and try to consume their ammunition, it will be equivalent to increasing our resources. At least the British cannot store enough supplies in a short period of time to launch a counterattack!"

"You don't really want to do this, General!" Colonel Slain was stunned when he heard this.

Rommel did not respond, he just said, "I need to talk to the sergeant!"

So Qin Chuan was taken to Rommel's command center.

In fact, Qin Chuan was also about to talk to Rommel because he thought of the idea of ​​learning from the experience of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and he could also learn from other combat experiences and tactics, such as the Vietnam War, the Afghan War, etc.

"Tell me about your sniper tactics!" Rommel said: "I want to know what if the British dispatched armored vehicles or even tanks to encircle them?"

What Rommel said is indeed a problem, because the sniper only has one rifle. The rifle is used to deal with tanks and armored vehicles, and no matter how accurate the equipment is, it is powerless.

"We can use the enemy's minefield, General!" Qin Chuan said: "Simply put, snipers are walking in the minefield. If the British want to dispatch armored vehicles and tanks to encircle and suppress, they must first eliminate their mines!"

Rommel couldn't help but nodded when he heard this: "They will face the same problem if they fire!"

"Yes, general!" Qin Chuan replied: "After the sniper shoots, the wind and sand in the desert will quickly blow away or cover up smoke and dust. It is difficult for the British to determine the location of the sniper. They can choose to cover it with artillery fire, but that also means that they have to consume a large amount of shells and blow up a large number of mines. Even so, they may not be able to blow up our snipers!"

"It's right!" said Rommel. "So they can say they can't help but be helpless!"

Qin Chuan continued: "If our snipers have been trained in artillery at the same time, then they will be on the phone..."

Rommel answered: "Then they can even be the eyes of artillerymen to indicate bombing targets for artillery!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "Our snipers can even bring back detailed information about the enemy's defense line when they return every day. We can choose whether we need to send commandos to launch a night attack along the already discharged channels!"

"It's a good idea!" Rommel nodded and said, "There is no need to worry about the enemy's tanks and aircraft in the night attack, which will try to weaken our disadvantages in equipment and supplies!"

"These are just one of my ideas, General!" Qin Chuan said.

"Do you have other ideas?" Rommel's eyes couldn't help but lit up.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "For example, in terms of supply, why don't we mobilize soldiers and the people to farm?"

"Farm?" Colonel Slain couldn't help but object: "The British soldiers were training, but our soldiers were farming? This would reduce our combat effectiveness!"

"It won't take much time, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "And I found that the irrigation technology and planting technology of Egypt and Libya people were very backward. If we could let them master better and more advanced planting methods, then agricultural output would increase significantly, and our supply would not require Italian transportation or reduce the transportation volume in stages!"

General Strek and others couldn't help looking at each other as they listened to Qin Chuan's suggestion.

It is no wonder they have such expressions, because for Germany, soldiers are a noble profession, and farming like the people is a shame... This mainly comes from the European knight culture. Soldiers are like ancient knights, and knights and farmers are people of two social levels. Knights should not do farmer work. Of course, if they help their family farm, it is another matter.

This will not be a problem for the Chinese, because Chinese soldiers have come from the people since ancient times, and doing enough food and clothing by themselves is also a fine tradition of our army.

"There are many benefits to doing this!" Qin Chuan continued to see the officers silent, "First of all, the land and climate in Africa are actually very suitable for cultivation..."

Many people think that large areas of Africa are deserts, so they are not suitable for planting. But in fact, this is not the case in many places with water sources in Africa. They are even the land formed by depositing desert dust. The geology is soft and fertile. In addition, the hot climate in Africa, plants often grow like crazy. There is no saying that winter can be harvested all year round. This is the case in cities like Matru.

But Africans are also famous for their laziness, so they often only grow some food to make a living by themselves. Of course, part of the reason is that the planting method is too primitive. They basically dig a hole to plant the seeds and wait for the harvest.

"What else can it do besides alleviating our supply pressure?" General Streck asked.

"Say that!" Qin Chuan said, "In ancient Chinese troops often farmed on the border because their troops had too large territory. If the grain was to be transported from the capital to the border, since ancient transportation was very backward, transporting a bag of grain would consume two or even more food, and it took a long time. So the emperor ordered the soldiers guarding the border to go to the fields to farm themselves. This policy was originally just to alleviate the country's supply pressure, but they found an unexpected benefit... When the soldiers farmed, they taught the local people advanced planting technology and irrigation technology, allowing the local people to live a better life. So the local people who had originally resisted them became supportive and supportive of their rule, so that the soldiers would go all the way to resist foreign invasions!"

Upon hearing this, General Streck couldn't help but say "Oh", then nodded and said, "The power of the masses!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "Just like we use the power of the masses to easily seize Alexander, farming is even more convincing than what Alexander did, because we only do a few good things in Alexander and then promote it. If we teach the people's planting and irrigation techniques, it is to truly solve the people's life problems. If the people in Africa, including Egypt, support us..."
