Chapter 349 Surrender
Eisenhower was suspicious, but he had no choice.
First of all, because the command power, even the command power of the US military, was not in his hands... At this time, the US military was actually commanded by Montgomery.
But this is not the point. The point is that Eisenhower doesn't know what the Germans sold in this gourd. If he knows, he just needs to come out at Montgomery.
What Eisenhower could do was to ask his friend General Patton, the US front-line commander, to interrogate the German prisoners what clues they tried to get, but the result still disappointed Eisenhower. The German soldiers themselves knew nothing, and they only knew the structure of some tunnels.
While the fight outside was in full swing, the tunnel was counting days in black and white.
This is a strange feeling... I don't know that during the darkness and the daytime, the soldiers can't do anything except eat, drink, defecate, and slept whenever they have time. Not long after, the biological clock became in chaos.
In fact, sleeping is not always so stable. From time to time, a few scorpions or cobras will run out of the tunnel to join in the fun.
Scorpion also likes to hide in the boots. After waking up, he put his boots on his feet... A soldier was stabbed by a scorpion, and his feet were swollen like radishes. Fortunately, there were disinfectants in the tunnel and there were several medical soldiers, so it was not fatal.
On the first day, there was no big trouble except for a small riot caused by Yulia.
The next day was safe and sound.
The early morning of the third day... In fact, it is no difference between early morning and night.
A soldier might have had a nightmare and started to go crazy after waking up, shouting constantly, "I'm going out, I can't stand it anymore, let them beat me to death!"
When several comrades stepped forward to stop him, the soldier even raised his gun and shouted hysterically: "Don't force me, I will kill anyone who stops me. I swear I will shoot!"
Everyone was stunned. The soldier was in his hand and shot the MP40 in this tunnel, but there was no room for escape.
Just as the soldiers were at a loss, Yulia stood up.
"Hey, soldier, relax!" Yulia said carefully: "You know, I have always wanted to go out, if you want, you can take me with you! Let's go out together..."
"We will die!" the soldier replied.
"Yes, we will die!" Yulia said, "But I can't stand it anymore. I want to meet my family, my parents, my brother, and my younger brother who is studying. Do you have family?"
"Of course!" the soldier replied.
"May I have your name?"
"Shar!"
"Very good! Charles..." Yulia said: "I guess, is your family in Algiers?"
"Yes!"
"They must miss you very much!" Yulia said in a gentle voice as much as possible: "Think about them, okay? They will hope you go back alive! Put down your gun and relax..."
When Qin Chuan arrived, he saw Yulia let Char slowly lower his gun like a magician. Several German soldiers took the opportunity to snatch him up and control him, while Yulia sat on the ground as if exhausted.
"Good job, major!" Qin Chuan said: "You finally have the opportunity to use your strengths!"
"No, Lieutenant!" Yulia retorted: "I'm just a waste that consumes food!"
Qin Chuan smiled and didn't intend to pay attention to her because he knew Yulia was vomiting.
"At least something you said!" Yulia shouted to Qin Chuan's back: "Otherwise we will all be crazy!"
Qin Chuan turned around and said, "Before you are crazy, remember to tell me first!"
As he said that, he turned his head and got into the tunnel, leaving behind despair. Yulia, in pain, cried quietly behind her.
It should be said that Yulia's will is stronger than Qin Chuan imagined...at least she is better than the French soldier named Charles, and not everyone can calm down.
The consequences of this incident soon emerged.
A few hours later, the baker reported to Qin Chuan: "Lieutenant, I have heard that two soldiers from the third row plan to escape tonight!"
"Hmm!" Qin Chuan's face darkened and he said, "They plan to surrender to the British!"
"I'm not sure!" said the baker. "Maybe they're like Charles, too..."
"No!" Qin Chuan said: "If they were like Shire, then they would not choose to act at night!"
The baker couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Do I need to arrest them?" asked the baker.
"No, don't disturb them!" Qin Chuan said: "Continue to stare at them, and report to me whenever they take action!"
"Yes, Lieutenant!"
After the baker left, Qin Chuan hung up the phone to Colonel Slein and said, "Col. I need your help!"
The two French soldiers from Oran were planned to escape, one from the tobacco factory and the other from the tobacco merchants, which made them friends and some degree of trust before joining the French citizenship camp... After all, they are a community of interests, so it is easy to reach a consensus.
They did take action that night, and the plan went smoothly, so they secretly moved the sandbags sealed at the entrance of the No. 3 invisible tunnel, dug out a layer of more than one meter thick with a few shovels of engineers, and then drilled out before the other soldiers in the tunnel arrived.
"Go back all!" The baker pretended to be angry and ordered: "You know what the consequences will be!"
Then, Qin Chuan pretended to have just learned about this and appeared in front of everyone.
"It seems that some of us choose to stand on the side of the British!" Qin Chuan said: "Silly behavior!"
The French soldiers dared not speak because they were worried that Qin Chuan would suspect their entire army.
"Lieutenant!" Boduan explained: "The rest of us know nothing about it!"
"Of course I know!" Qin Chuan said: "This has nothing to do with you!"
The French soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"Do we need to fill in the tunnel entrance?" Boduan asked again.
"Do you think we have a way to fill the tunnel entrance?" Qin Chuan asked back.
Boduan was stunned and then understood what Qin Chuan said... The tunnel entrance must be filled outside and camouflaged to make sense, otherwise the next day the British would soon find the problem when they saw the new soil.
"Do you know why I call it stupid?" Qin Chuan said: "Because they don't know at all... There is only one British battalion on the No. 0 Heights, and a considerable part of it is engineers. We can drill out of the tunnel and kill them all at any time!"
