It was dark, damp, stuffy, and a strong smell... It was the rotten smell in the soil, the sweat of soldiers digging the tunnel and the smell of smoking inside mixed together.

But no one cared about this at this time, because this was nothing compared to the violent explosions outside the tunnel, the vibrations from the ground, and the sand falling from the "rinse" above the head.

Someone lit a kerosene lamp in the tunnel. It only made people feel better when the light illuminated the tunnel, but the French soldiers were still so scared that their faces were pale.

This fear mainly comes from psychology... In fact, everyone knows that it is much safer in the tunnel than outside, but psychologically there is a strong desire to know what danger is or where it comes from. It is impossible to know these in the tunnel, and it seems that you can only stay in it and wait for the choice of death, so there will be an inexplicable fear.

At this time, there was a "boom" sound, and a violent explosion sounded nearby. Correspondingly, the entire tunnel shook like an earthquake, and then a tunnel collapsed... It seemed that there were still several people buried inside.

Then the tunnel soon became messy.

"The tunnel is about to collapse!" someone shouted in panic.

"Run out, I don't want to be buried here!"

"I'm going out!"

...

Qin Chuan fired a shot into the sky without thinking, blocking the tunnel entrance and pointed the pistol at the panicked French soldiers and said, "You guys try it!"

"Lieutenant, the tunnel is about to collapse!" Stefan said: "We can't stay here anymore!"

Qin Chuan pointed a gun into Stefan's head and said, "Go back, otherwise I can guarantee that you will stay here forever!"

The murderous intent in Qin Chuan's eyes made Stefan dare not doubt what Qin Chuan said at all, so he had to retreat with the soldiers.

A few minutes later, the explosion gradually disappeared, and Qin Chuan put away his pistol and walked out of the tunnel... The scenery outside had changed, many trees were blown off, and the vegetation stones were turned upside down, as if they had been plowed, and there were many large pits exploded by aviation bombs.

Qin Chuan was not surprised by this, and the French recruits were stunned when they came out.

"The lieutenant is right!" said Boduan: "If we had just run out, we would have disappeared now!"

Later I learned that there were indeed new recruits in other platoons who couldn't help but run out of the tunnel (the tunnel was usually built in platoons), and it goes without saying what the result was.

"Lieutenant!" Venet asked with lingering fear: "Are the wars you have experienced before... like this now?"

"Believe me, soldier!" Qin Chuan replied: "This is not a war, it is just a routine bombing by the enemy! And..."

Qin Chuan Chaohao's road was blown up from a mess below the high ground and raised his head, saying, "Their main goal is to blow up those roads!"

As he said that, Qin Chuan walked away with an indifferent expression, leaving only the French soldiers looking at each other in the same place.

The pale face of Stefan said, "God, we will die!"

"I remember you were just saying that you wanted to teach the British a lesson with a rifle!" Boduane said sarcastically.

"Please!" Stefan spread his hands into the bullet crater not far away: "We may not have the chance to shoot at the enemy at all!"

"Shut up your mouth!" Boduan replied: "Otherwise what do you want? Go home? Do you know how the Germans deal with deserters!"

So the soldiers were speechless, not to mention that they had nowhere to escape.

"I think!" Boduan said after a moment of rest: "If you want to survive, just do what the lieutenant said!"

The soldiers nodded in agreement.

Then several teams of artillery were retreating. After retreating to the rear of the high ground, they even set up artillery to build a temporary artillery position, and then they fired guns in front of them with "boom", obviously using artillery fire to cover which retreat unit.

This made the soldiers of the French battalion nervous for a while, but this was obviously much better than before being bombed.

"Lieutenant!" At this time, the communication soldier said to Qin Chuan: "College phone number!"

"Colin!" Qin Chuan revealed his identity when he received the call.

"General Rommel is here!" said Colonel Slain, "He wants to see you and meet me at the foot of the mountain!"

"Yes, colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.

Qin Chuan knew the reason why he was going to meet at the foot of the mountain... The mountain road was blown off and it was temporarily unopened to traffic.

It took more than half an hour for Qin Chuan to arrive at the foot of the mountain and board Colonel Slein's jeep, and then the jeep drove to the west of Gavsa City.

Several command vehicles and armored vehicles were parked by a well. The German guards had already set up a checkpoint around. Colonel Slein and Qin Chuan handed them the ID. After a brief inspection, the sentry handed the ID back... One of the sentry also greeted Colonel Slein: "Long time no see, colonel!"

"Long time no see!" Colonel Slain asked, "Are you here?"

"On!" replied the Sentinel: "But you better not disturb him now, because he just went to bed!"

"Hmm!" Colonel Slain glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "It seems that the general has exhausted him all the way down!"

It is true that this is true. The past two months have been quite easy for Qin Chuan and others, but what Rommel has to consider is how to bring back as much troops and equipment as possible.

Rommel did a very successful job. Under his command, the African Legion marched in hiding during the day and at night... This was to avoid the bombing of Allied air forces. From time to time, he set up several ambushes on the road, and brought the three armored divisions of the African Legion to Tunisia at a slight cost.

At this time, the troops had almost retreated to the Gabes defense line, and Rommel could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan walked to a command car under the guidance of the guards, and General Streck was whispering something with another general.

Seeing Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan, General Streck stood up happily and said, "Oh, see who is here! Colonel, Lieutenant... I'm very happy to see you!"

"General!" Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan saluted General Strek.

"Let me introduce it!" General Streck said to the general beside him: "These are two of my subordinates, Colonel Slain, the commander of the First Infantry Regiment, and Lieutenant Flick!"

Then General Streck introduced to Slain two more: "Major General Foigert, commander of the 90th Light Equipment Division!"

Major General Foigert's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Chuan's name: "Are you what they often call 'Legendary'?"
