Chapter 47: Beheading first and then playing
I have been disgusted these days. The soldiers have worked hard to write books for so many years, and they have been typing almost every day... Suddenly, the books become someone else's.
"The Blood of the Vietnam War" was changed to "The Bloody Battle of Vietnam", and "The Chinese Expeditionary Force of the Anti-Japanese War" was changed to "The Chinese Expeditionary Force", which almost changed the title of the book and the protagonist... The point is that the author is not me, and it is also indicated that it is his original work.
The point is... He even told others that he was an expeditionary soldier.
What a god!
Is it easy to write books for so many years? I have seen shameless people but have never seen such shameless people.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "We can attack the Port of Tobrook!"
"You're crazy!" Lucas, who had been talking, interrupted, "We can't succeed. That brother is much more dangerous than stationed at Tenger Tenger!"
"I don't think so!" Qin Chuan opposed: "First of all, no action would be more dangerous than garrisoning Tenger, because the British knew our location, and even knew our troops and firepower. They could assemble troops calmly and plan to attack us, but we had nothing to stop them."
Colonel Slain nodded in agreement.
Although the German army repelled the British army not long ago and caused them to suffer heavy losses, the situation in the German army was even worse: the German army lost more than half of the artillery, and half of Tenger was pushed by the British army. What's worse was that the British army found out the German firepower situation in the battle... So as Qin Chuan said, the British army could organize the next attack calmly.
"If we attack the Port of Tobrook, there will be at least two benefits!" Qin Chuan continued: "One is that we can avoid the important things. As I said before, the main force of the British army is in the direction of Maychile, and the internal forces are very empty, that is, the direction of Tobrook, and we can catch them off guard."
"That's just your guess, Sergeant!" Major Lucas opposed: "We can't let the troops take such a big risk just by guessing!"
"Do we have other options?" Qin Chuan asked: "As for taking risks... if the stationed in Tenger Tenger could wipe out our entire army, then what risks aren't worth our attempt?"
Lucas was stunned when he heard this.
Qin Chuan's words are irrefutable. One is a known dead end, and the other is an unknown dangerous end... As long as people who are still clear in their minds know that they should choose a dangerous end rather than a dead end, because it has at least a glimmer of hope.
"What about another benefit? Sergeant!" asked Colonel Slain.
"Another benefit is that we can drag down the British's main force!" Qin Chuan replied.
"How is this possible?" Lucas retorted: "You may not know that the main British army has more than 100,000 people and more than 900 tanks, but they are not decorations!"
"There are many people, and the number of tanks is their weakness!" Qin Chuan replied.
Lucas was about to refute, but Slein raised his hand to stop him.
"Continue, Sergeant!" said Colonel Slain.
"This is the desert!" Qin Chuan said: "The most important thing in the desert is supply. People need supplies, and tanks also need supplies, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward. We have already experienced this when we cross the desert. So it can be imagined that the supply consumed by the British army, especially the consumption during wartime, will be astronomical, which is also one of the reasons why they are rushing to eliminate us and open up the supply line!"
Colonel Slain responded and said, "If we attacked the Port of Tobrook, we would destroy it all the way!"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded and said, "As mentioned before, the British set up strongholds like Tengger to store fuel and supplies along the line. If we defend Tengger, the British could open the supply line by just taking Tengger back, but if we attacked along the entire line... When the British were not prepared and the troops were empty, we were likely to be in a state of unstoppable situation, because most of the things we encountered were supply troops, so that the gasoline, parts, supplies, etc. stored along the British would be destroyed by us, and next..."
Colonel Slain nodded thoughtfully: "Next, their tanks and cars will not be able to drive because they do not have gasoline and parts, so they will not be able to pursue us, but they will even be a problem in driving them to escape!"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "But there is a prerequisite for this situation... We must be able to take down and defend Tobrook Port!"
"Because it is a port!" Colonel Slain agreed: "Gas and supplies will be continuously transported from sea by transport ships. If we do not capture and defend it, the British will be able to get supplies here!"
"So what's the difference between this and guarding Tenger Tentel?" Lucas couldn't help but ask.
"The difference is..." Colonel Slain Dai Qinchuan replied: "The British did not have many cars and tanks to drive to Tobrook, so we have to face much fewer tanks. The British's combat effectiveness will also decline due to insufficient ammunition. At the same time, they will have to bear huge psychological pressure... Once they cannot take Tobrook, they will defeat the entire army!"
"But... Tobrook is not that easy to occupy!" Lucas said: "It is the best port east of Benghazi, where the British built strong fortifications!"
"It is precisely because of this that we have to occupy it!" said Colonel Slain: "Because only by leveraging the geographical advantages and fortifications there, our troops can survive with strong enemies! And even if we are unable to survive or occupy Tobrook, we will do much better than staying in Tengertel!"
This is obvious. Staining Tenger Tenger is equivalent to "blocking" the British supply line like a tide... The British supply has not been destroyed, they are just temporarily unable to pass. Once Tenger Tenger is recovered by the British army, the British army can get a large amount of supplies again.
But if Qin Chuan did it according to Qin Chuan's plan, it would be to eliminate the British supply line while replacing the British main force at the reverse extension... The British main force followed the first regiment and could not get supplies.
"But Colonel!" Lucas asked, "General Rommel's order... should we report to the general and obtain his consent?"
Qin Chuan couldn't help but become nervous because he knew that the British army could crack all intercepted German codes. If this action was made known to the British in advance... it would not only be impossible to succeed but would also become a trap.
Colonel Slain was silent for a moment and said, "No, I don't think this requires the general's consent, because he did the same, and I believe he will agree!"
Colonel Slain said that Rommel did not obey Hitler's orders... Since Rommel could do this, why couldn't Colonel Slain do this?
Just like Rommel, although he disobeyed Hitler's orders, he won and could still receive praise rather than punishment.
In fact, this is just Colonel Slein's excuse. The real reason why he was unwilling to ask Rommel for advice... was that he was worried that once Rommel did not agree, he and his troops would have a dead end, so he simply took action first and then reported.
Chapter completed!
