After training for half a month, Qin Chuan thought that the time was almost done, so he developed to the next step, which is the training of the entire army.

Instructor Erwin had objections to this because he believed that although the exercise was successful and most soldiers could persevere until the end, it was not time to finalize the popular training of textbooks. If there were any problems not discovered and put into the battlefield, some people would be killed.

Instructor Erwin's attitude of being responsible for life is worthy of recognition, and the Germans are generally more rigorous and serious.

But Qin Chuan knew that some problems could not be discovered during the exercise, so he had to devote himself to actual combat while discovering them.

More importantly, the "cold gun and cold cannon" movement emphasizes more on "quantity" rather than "quality" than "quality" compared to snipers... It is a large-scale sniper operation, a kind of gathering small victories to big victories, and it can even be said to be a psychological warfare.

With Rommel's support, the plan was implemented soon.

The training of the 21st Armored Division was led by Qin Chuan and 30 students as teachers, while the training of the 15th Armored Division was led by Elwen and 30 other students.

Of course, most of the candidates were called from the infantry regiment... Most of the soldiers in the armored regiment had certain skills. Although the German army was facing the embarrassing situation of no tanks available at this time, it was difficult to guarantee that one day the tanks would come.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the armored regiment received few relevant infantry training, and it was obviously more difficult to select qualified snipers from them, so Qin Chuan simply excluded the armored regiment.

Artillery can choose a part, which is mainly because the sniper troops also need artillery observers who can guide artillery to bomb... Originally, Qin Chuan wanted the snipers to learn this knowledge, but found that there was actually a simpler way, that is, let the artillery observers mix and snipers to lurk on the front line, and the observers only wear telescopes to contact the artillery at a longer distance, because they are far away and do not fire, so the safety is much higher.

In fact, this is also a helpless move that does not have enough time, because it is the sniper who really needs to bomb the target and cooperate with the sniper.

Originally, Qin Chuan thought it would take several days of publicity work or even the mobilization of officers, because this was a thankless thing after all. If you can stay in the back and blow the sea breeze, who would be willing to go to the battlefield, especially lying motionless under the enemy's eyes for the whole day.

But unexpectedly, the number of soldiers who signed up for the competition was much more than imagined. There were more than 500 people in just half a day... This number of people was actually enough to form the sniper troops needed for Qin Chuan, but the number was still increasing.

Qin Chuan asked one of the corporals curiously: "Soldier, what is your purpose of signing up for participation?"

"Does this require a purpose?" The corporal looked at Qin Chuan with some confusion: "I think I can do this task, so I came!"

Qin Chuan felt a little incredible, and at the same time he felt that the German soldiers were actually very cute. They regarded combat as their responsibilities and obligations, and came because they believed that they could be competent.

Of course, there are also many people who are afraid of death, just like deserters have appeared before, but their army generally has a military spirit similar to the "chival spirit", which makes them essentially different from the Italian army and the African army.

Among them, especially the African army, many of them only recognize tribes but not countries, so of course they each have the idea of ​​preserving their strength, so the entire army is like a mess and collapses with one blow.

Due to the German soldiers' fighting consciousness and initiative, and most of them are soldiers who rolled out from the battlefield, and Qin Chuan taught them the experience summarized in previous exercises, the training process was quite fast, and in just two weeks of training, it basically met the requirements.

At this time, Qin Chuan called Erwin.

"I think it's time to let them go to the battlefield to try it!" Qin Chuan said.

"Sir!" Erwin was a little nervous: "Although the training went smoothly, they needed more time..."

"It will always take more time, second lieutenant!" Qin Chuan said: "Because that is the battlefield!"

Erwin couldn't help but remain silent.

Erwin knew that Qin Chuan was right, and there was a saying that "the best school is the battlefield." If the troops want to grow and learn, they have to be pulled on the battlefield to practice, especially new tactics that have no experience to learn from.

"Okay, sir!" said Erwin: "I have no problem!"

So the operation started that night. Qin Chuan led snipers with 600 men to be responsible for the northern section of the defense line, while Erwin led the same number of troops to be responsible for the southern section of the defense line.

Just as Qin Chuan's plan was proceeding step by step, Montgomery was also preparing for war.

The first thing Montgomery did after taking office was to make earth-shaking adjustments to the commanders of the Eighth Army, because he felt that a large part of the reason why the Eighth Army had been defeated repeatedly before this was that these commanders were not responsible.

Montgomery's idea makes sense... Most of the commanders of the Eighth Army are British officers stationed in Egypt for a long time. They are like gods in Egypt, and they can do everything by calling the wind and rain. After a long time, they are so swollen that they are a little lost. When they really need to fight, they panic and don't know what to do.

For this reason, Montgomery even sent a group of officers from the distant British land to command the army.

Then Montgomery re-designed thousands of long-range cannons on the defense line, all of which were covered with camouflage nets and stood in a hidden position and aimed the muzzle at the other side of the defense line.

In addition, Montgomery also lie in ambush near Mount Hallaf, the newly added 1st Armored Division, with the 15th Armored Division and the 7th Armored Division... Montgomery believes that if the Germans can attack, they must have opened a gap from here, just like the Germans did on the British defense line before.

From this we can also see that all Montgomery's preparations were targeted at the German armored forces, although he knew that the German supply line had been cut off and the tanks were difficult to replenish.

"What else can they have?" Montgomery said: "I am worried about the only German tanks!"

For this reason, Montgomery also issued an order, requiring British tanks to only allow long-distance combat but not close combat.

This is in line with the actual situation, just like a tank battle before... The British General Grant tank has artillery fire with a longer range but is very clumsy. It even has defects due to poor shooting range, while the German tank is very flexible and suitable for melee combat.
