The Second Infantry Division arrived outside the city of Algiers two days later.

They did not enter the city because they did not want anyone to see the more familiar faces of the Second Infantry Regiment return to the city...such as soldiers from the French camp.

This will undoubtedly give spies room for imagination and guessing.

Therefore, Qin Chuan did not have the chance to meet Vinet.

They were not assembled until midnight, and then all the rear carriages were pulled down and covered tightly, and went straight to the port from the campsite.

At this time, a dock had been cleared out of a dock, and many German soldiers stood around the dock with guns, waiting for it, blocking any idle people who wanted to get close to the dock.

After the car was inspected, it drove into a warehouse and then walked directly onto the ship from a passage covered with black cloth... This pier was obviously built specifically for the hidden transportation of people and supplies to Sicily. The people inside had no idea what was outside, and of course they could not see what was being moved onto the ship outside.

The cabin is pitch black and depressing, and it also has a strong smell of mold and gasoline. Especially when the transport ship starts, it makes people feel dizzy and confused.

It was not until then that Colonel Slain called on the flashlight and announced: "Gentlemen, we are heading to Sicily, and I think you must have heard of it!"

"Sicily? Isn't that a place for Italians?" a soldier asked.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain replied: "But it doesn't mean we can't go! As for what to do, you will naturally know when you arrive!"

"Colin!" asked one soldier: "Can you ask them to turn on the light?"

"If you wish to be discovered by British submarines and give us a torpedo, then no problem!" Colonel Slain said, and then his tone suddenly became serious: "Now, shut your mouth, if you are lucky, we will arrive in Sicily in two days!"

"God!" Werner couldn't help but complain: "We are going to stay in this broken place for two days!"

"Nothing bad!" replied the baker: "It's better than the tunnel, isn't it?"

"The tunnel is not so shaky!" Werner opposed: "And you can light the lights in the tunnel, you can walk around, and you can tease the scorpion when you are bored! What's there?"

Qin Chuan replied: "There are cockroaches and rats, Werner, and they are even too many to form a baseball team!"

"Great!" Werner rolled his eyes.

Everyone around laughed.

Later Qin Chuan learned that it was a lie that Colonel Slein said the journey so dangerously, and its main purpose was to make the soldiers not care about the harsh environment in the cabin under the threat of their lives.

In fact, this transport ship is very safe.

First of all, there are not many British submarines operating on the Tunisian Strait. Even if there are, they are still conducting some reconnaissance missions. Because several transport ships were sunk two days ago, the German Navy strengthened patrols here.

The second is that the transport ship carried by the Second Infantry Regiment has a speed of fifteen knots... The speed is very important for the transport ship, because the speed of British submarines underwater is generally around 10 knots. (Note: the speed of British S-class submarines is 10 knots underwater and 13.7 knots on the water).

There are two ways for submarines to ambush targets:

One is that the speed is faster than the target, so that you can track, chase and ambush before grabbing the target.

Another way is that the speed is slower than the target. In this case, you can only see the target coming from a distance. It is estimated that its route will be prepared near its route.

But no matter what the situation is, the faster the target is, the less likely it is to be ambushed.

A few days ago, the 200th Infantry Division ambushed had a speed of only 11 knots, which was 13.7 knots lower than the submarine's surface speed. So the British submarine sailed above the transport ship at the risk of being discovered and prepared to wait for it.

Needless to mention the final result, the transport ship was hit by a torpedo in the moonlight. Because it was a secret sail, no nearby ship could come to search and rescue in time, which caused most of the personnel in one regiment to be killed or injured.

For the transport ship that Qin Chuan was riding, Rommel specifically told him to use a transport ship with a speed of 15 knots... This speed would leave the British submarine behind far, and even if the second ambush method was used, there would be only a short preparation time and an ambush opportunity.

So it was very safe, and Rommel even asked the two destroyers to search on the route in advance.

Sure enough, the voyage was in danger. Apart from a small storm that made the people in the cabin vomit, there was no other difficulty.

However, the moment the soldiers got off the boat and walked onto the dock, they still swayed like they were drunk.

"God!" said Werner: "If a team of British people stand before us now, I will immediately raise my hand to surrender, because I can't even lift my gun!"

Then the soldiers were loaded into cars again, and the back was covered with canvas, and delivered to the front line like goods.

Any pauses and rest along the way were not allowed, and all urine and defecation were required to be resolved on the spot in the car.

"Solve it in every possible space!" said Colonel Slain. "Don't worry about getting the car dirty and you yourself, or fixing it in a helmet, just like it is done on the battlefield. Don't worry about getting the car dirty or yourself, because you will soon get dirtier!"

Colonel Slain's words were still a lie, because Sicily's groundwater is abundant and there are many springs on the high ground.

When the soldiers arrived at the garrison called the "Enna Heights", what appeared before them was a stream composed of springs.

After receiving the order to disband, almost everyone cheered and took off and jumped into the stream to take a shower.

Colonel Slain did not stop them because it was a good thing for the soldiers. It would be more comfortable to take care of themselves and be more energetic when fighting.

Qin Chuan was also one of them. He was naked and lying in the stream, allowing the stream to rush to the smell of his body.

But this relaxation is only brief.

"Now it's only two hours before dawn!" said Colonel Slain: "You must hide yourself before dawn, otherwise you will wait for the enemy's plane to throw the bomb on your head!"

"Colin!" Kuhn asked: "What is our mission here?"

"Build a tunnel!" Colonel Slain replied: "Just like you did on the Gabes line!"
