After a long silence, none of the French soldiers stood up.

Qin Chuan raised his head to Yulia and said, "It seems that not many people support you!"

"Oh no..." Yulia said to the French soldiers with some dissatisfaction: "Most of you just agreed with my point of view!"

"Obviously, Major!" Vinette responded: "It's one thing to agree with your point of view, and it's another thing to go out to fight with you. We all know that you may not even be able to lift a gun. You asked us to rush out to fight the British, just to escape from this tunnel and return to Berlin as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Boduan replied, "You don't care about our lives or death at all. If you don't even have the courage to stay in the tunnel, why should you command us to fight?"

"We should listen to the lieutenant without a doubt!"

"Of course, I always think so!"

...

Qin Chuan was furious and Yulia spread her hands, then turned around and returned to her tunnel.

What Qin Chuan didn't expect was that Yulia followed in too.

"What?" Qin Chuan took a flashlight and asked, "Do you plan to convince me if you find that you can't convince those soldiers?"

"No, Lieutenant!" Yulia said: "I know you won't agree, but I want to know the plan. In addition... I'll have a single room. Oh, by the way, let's arrange another room for my guard..."

"Do you still need to provide you with room service?" Qin Chuan interrupted Yulia without hesitation.

Of course Yulia knew that this was rejection. She looked at Qin Chuan with an incredible expression and said, "Lieutenant, you have to know, I am a major... I just asked for a private room, which is not an exaggeration!"

"Major!" Qin Chuan responded coldly, "You have to understand that this is the battlefield, and everyone here will lose their lives at any time, so we only respect those who have the courage to fight, and you... I'm sorry, you are just a burden to us. You have nothing to do except consume food rations, and you may even kill all of us because of your ignorance. So, please tell me, why can you still enjoy privileges in this situation? Just because of your military rank?!"

"You don't have the right to say this to me!" Yulia's face turned pale with anger.

"Put your set!" Qin Chuan said: "This is a battlefield, not a place for you to play. Now please leave. You can live with the female soldiers. If you need to promote it to the enemy, I will send someone to notify you!"

"Very good!" Yulia said, gritting her teeth, "You will regret everything you have done today and said!"

"Let's wait and see!" Qin Chuan turned his gaze to the documents in his hand and ignored Yulia, who had not yet figured out the situation.

Helpless Yulia could only get out of the tunnel angrily.

In fact, Qin Chuan can understand female officers like Yulia. They are used to the luxury of Berlin, and they always rely on their power to be superior to others and enjoy privileges. Now they are the same when they are on the battlefield... What she doesn't know is that only those who can lead everyone to victory on the battlefield have privileges, such as Qin Chuan can have a relatively independent room.

"Lieutenant!" A few minutes later, the baker hugged and crawled in.

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan raised his head and asked, "How is the situation?"

"They calmed down!" replied the baker, "But I don't think they'll give up, you know... hiding in the tunnel will double their stress, and now it's just the beginning!"

Qin Chuan nodded. Of course he knew this, especially since they didn't know the combat plan and could not see hope for survival. The fear of death and the depression in the small space would make people crazy. Some people would even rather die outside the tunnel at the enemy's gun.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said to the baker: "I need you to set up some eyeliner. If anyone wants to escape from the tunnel or have any plans, I hope I can know in advance!"

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

While Qin Chuan and others were hiding in the tunnel and counting time by minute by minute, the British army attacked from south to north as Qin Chuan expected.

But the offensive was not as smooth as Montgomery had expected... The Germans had defenses on the high ground on both sides of the Gavsa Highway.

The German army had few troops in the Gafsa Highway area, only one infantry regiment, and there was also a "Lightning Division" regiment that was urgently dropped from Algeria to this section... This was actually for the British army to show it, making them think that Germany and the Italian army were in a hurry to use all the reserve troops.

Montgomery was indeed deceived. He said to Eisenhower happily: "Look, Ike, the Germans used all the airborne troops as infantry!"

On the surface, the situation in Germany is indeed quite embarrassing: two main armored divisions were dragged at both ends of the Gabes defense line and unable to move, and one armored division was held at the Tunisian guarding airport and did not dare to move, because once it moved... the British airborne troops could raid two airports in Tunisia.

So the Germans could only watch the two British armors driving straight along the Gafsa Highway.

All the Germans could do seemed to be waiting for the moment when they were divided and surrounded by the British army and finally collapsed.

"But our offense on the Gafsa Highway was not going well!" Eisenhower said with some concern: "The task we originally planned to complete within three days is now at least one week!"

Eisenhower is telling the truth. Although the Germans did not have much force on the Gafsa Highway, they scattered and seized the high ground and key points that were supposed to be the raid of British airborne troops... The Germans are good at fighting "blitz warfare", so they of course know which important places need to be focused on garrison.

Therefore, because the airborne troops could not play a big role, the British army could only advance along the highway with their air superiority and military strength and equipment.

"This is not the point!" Montgomery said: "The point is that the Germans can't stop us!"

Montgomery looked at the map and continued, "They don't have more troops to use, so whether it's three days or a week, the ending will be the same!"

"I hope so!" said Eisenhower.

But in fact, Eisenhower was not so optimistic. Although he did not have much command and combat experience... In fact, Eisenhower had been engaged in training and civilian work before this and had never participated in combat.

But a soldier's intuition told him that things might not be that simple, because the Germans retreated to Tunisia in an orderly manner, and it was a bit suspicious that he acted so badly in Tunisia.
