Chapter 331 Tunnel
Qin Chuan's face turned cold. Just as he was about to give the ungrateful soldier a look, Sergeant Dominic went up and gave the guy a gun to knock him to the ground.
"Hey!" A group of German troops from the 200th Division immediately surrounded, and one of them came up and pushed Sergeant Dominic.
Werner and others also met at the first time... Who is the first Infantry Regiment? Why are they still afraid of the new recruits who have just arrived in Africa?
Qin Chuan walked up suddenly and said, "Your superiors at least taught you to maintain basic politeness to your friendly forces!"
"That's my business, Lieutenant!" A German captain squeezed over. He looked at the soldier lying on the ground with his head covering and said dissatisfiedly: "I should discipline my subordinates, you..."
"I think I'm very good at managing, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied without hesitation: "They will never be ruthless when they kill people, whether they are enemies or their own people, as long as they are people who disrespect them!"
The captain was 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, which was almost challenging the captain's authority.
"Report your name, Lieutenant!" said the captain 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, what you often call Lieutenant Frick. Do you think you have enough strength to challenge him and his troops?"
Upon hearing this, Captain couldn't help but be stunned. He glanced at Qin Chuan in shock, then stood up at Major General Neumann and said, "No, General!"
Major General Neumann waved at Captain Baker, and Captain Baker and his group hurriedly retreated with the injured soldier.
"Sorry, Lieutenant!" Major General Neumann shook Qin Chuan's hand and said helplessly: "You know, there are few beautiful ladies here, and I apologize for their rudeness!"
"I understand, general!" Qin Chuan replied: "I have to do this, too!"
Qin Chuan's words are true, because it is directly related to Qin Chuan's command over the French battalion... If Qin Chuan or Dominic does not stand up for the French soldiers, he will soon lose the trust of the French soldiers, especially at this sensitive time.
But now, the French soldiers have different visions of Qin Chuan and his men, because they will even turn against the German officers and soldiers for the dignity of the French.
Major General Neumann glanced at the French Camp and nodded to show his understanding.
"We call this place the heights of zero!" Neumann opened a map as he walked, and Neumann pointed to a point and said, "The location is here, fifteen kilometers south of Gafsan. The reason why this place is called the heights of zero is because we want to use it as a template. You know, I can't let you go to each high ground and see what's wrong, but I can let you teach a group of officers and then let them go back and do the right thing!"
"We don't have much time!" Qin Chuan said.
"So we're moving faster!" said General Neumann. "They've started construction!"
As he said that, General Neumann took Qin Chuan along a mountain road through the corner, where there was indeed a team of German troops busy building tunnels.
Qin Chuan stepped forward and looked at it, then shook his head.
"Is there any problem?" asked Major General Neumann.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "You shouldn't choose a location that is easy to dig as a tunnel entrance. The reason is very simple. It's easy for us to dig, which means that the enemy will also easily gain a foothold here and use firepower to block the tunnel entrance and even throw explosive packs and grenades into the tunnel!"
Upon hearing this, Major General Neumann nodded, then shook his head: "But Lieutenant, this has always been a problem that we are confused about. Many people even think that this tactic is not applicable at all, because when we build tunnel entrances anywhere, the enemy seems to easily blow it up and bury the soldiers in it!"
Major General Neumann's words were right. You should know that this is just a mountain. It really doesn't work. British and Americans can also tie ropes with hangs to the appropriate position like climbers to throw explosives into the tunnel entrance.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the tunnel entrance cannot be prevented from being bombed no matter where it is built.
"First of all!" Qin Chuan said: "The most difficult thing in tunnel combat is never the construction of tunnel fortifications, but a group of fearless soldiers who can survive and maintain combat effectiveness in a harsh and even life-threatening environment in the tunnel!"
"I agree!" Major General Neumann replied: "But I believe my subordinates can!"
Qin Chuan did not doubt this. If the German army could not do it, then no one in Europe and the United States could do it.
"Second!" Qin Chuan said: "We must be prepared to be blown up at any time, but we can build hidden vents, so that even if the tunnel entrance is blown down, soldiers can survive inside. At the same time, we can also build invisible tunnel entrance!"
"Invisible tunnel entrance?" Major General Neumann was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "Simply put, there are several tunnel entrances that can lead to the interior, but we blocked other tunnel entrances in advance, so the enemy only saw one tunnel entrance!"
Major General Neumann couldn't help but say "Oh" when he needed it, for example, at night, we can dig through the blocked tunnel from the inside!"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "We can even block the tunnel entrance tightly, and the enemy cannot find it from the surface!"
Major General Neuman nodded: "These tunnel entrances may even be next to the enemy ammunition depot or barracks, and they will be unable to defend themselves!"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan continued: "More importantly... there are still difficulties or a considerable price to blow up some tunnel entrances!"
"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 couldn't help but realize it and said, "They can cover each other!"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "But the enemy tried to blow up the tunnel with explosive bags or grenades, then they would light their backs in front of the tunnel. When the enemy wanted to solve the tunnel first, they entered the shooting boundary of the tunnel..."
"Great!" Major General Neumann said: "So, we should divide it into upper, middle and lower layers to set up the tunnel entrances, so that they will cover the entire opposite and cover each other, thus forming a combat system rather than a separate tunnel!"
