Chapter 332 Tunnel

"How do we ensure supplies in the highlands?" Neumann asked again.

Obviously, if the enemy can bypass the high ground, it means that communications between the high ground and other places will be cut off.

"Storage in advance!" Qin Chuan replied: "For example, ammunition, food, water, medicine, etc. are all stored in the tunnel!"

"No, this is crazy!" Colonel Slain interrupted: "If soldiers are blocked in a tunnel, they have no choice but to surrender!"

Of course Qin Chuan knew what Colonel Slaine said. The tunnel was not fun. It was airtight, damp, and had no air circulation. It could collapse at any time and face the threat of death at any time. If you didn't have strong perseverance, you wouldn't need to fight or hide from the enemy. It will be unbearable for a few days.

This also shows how difficult the conditions for the volunteer soldiers were at that time. European and American countries did not even dare to think about this kind of combat method.

After a long time, Major General Neumann said: "I think this defense method is feasible... At least our soldiers can save their lives in front of the enemy's aircraft and artillery! As long as they can save their lives, it is possible to get out of the tunnel. Come out and launch a counterattack!”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "We can prepare radio stations in the tunnel in advance, so that we can join forces with the soldiers in the tunnel. For example, we can launch artillery attacks on the enemies on the highlands and the soldiers in the tunnel can launch a counterattack, or we can launch a counterattack. Tundao provides us with information and more!”

Major General Neumann couldn't help but nodded after hearing this: "Continue, Lieutenant, this defensive tactic is very novel, and it is also very suitable for our current situation where there is a gap between our equipment and the Allies!"

This tactic was certainly novel. It was the tactic used by the Volunteer Army eight years later on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. Compared with the systematic tunnel warfare of the Volunteer Army, the tunnels that the Japanese learned from China's tunnel warfare and used on Ryuso Island can only be regarded as a small business, but even so, the United States still allowed the United States to use several times the force and a large number of Attacks with modern equipment still cost heavy casualties.

Then Qin Chuan explained the tunnel tactics to Neumann in detail on the drawings, and of course the anti-slope tactics that matched the tunnel tactics and the combat methods of the entire tunnel system.

The more Major General Neumann listened, the more solemn his expression became, and his eyes were full of doubts: "Lieutenant, you are talking as if you have experienced such a battle personally!"

"Of course not!" Qin Chuan replied: "I just studied architecture courses in school. Sometimes I will think about how to use architectural knowledge in building fortifications!"

This is half true and half false. As an archaeologist, Qin Chuan did study architecture.

Neumann nodded doubtfully. He looked at the drawings and said: "Lieutenant, I have to build a tunnel high ground according to these drawings. After the drill, I will determine whether it works, and then I will consider whether to build it on a large area!"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.

This kind of decision requires a lot of manpower and material resources and is likely to be related to Tunisia, Algeria, and even the life and death of the African Corps. It cannot be made with a slap on the head.

On the plane returning to Algiers, Colonel Slain sighed: "Lieutenant, the longer I stay in contact with you, the more surprised I am by you. It is surprising enough that you have made suggestions for our troops, but you The navy and even the air force also proposed a brand new defense tactic in Tunisia, although I don't agree with this tactic..."

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "I was forced to do so. Which of these suggestions...are not for survival!"

Colonel Slain nodded, but soon laughed again: "But I was also in that environment, but couldn't think of anything. Maybe it's because I'm too slow!"

Qin Chuan smiled and did not answer. After a fierce battle at sea, he had not rested yet. Qin Chuan's eyelids soon became darker at the roar of the plane, and soon he entered the dreamy fragrance.

When Qin Chuan woke up, the plane had already landed at Algiers Airport. After saying goodbye to Colonel Slain, Qin Chuan took a jeep and returned to the training camp... Training in the French camp was also beneficial. Originally, he was at the level of a lieutenant. It is impossible to equip it with a jeep, but because the French battalion is a battalion-level unit, and the training camp is in an independent military camp outside the city, it often has to go into the city to do business or replenish supplies, so it is equipped with two There are two jeeps, one for emergencies and the other as Qin Chuan's special car.

As soon as they returned to the training camp, all the German soldiers in the battalion cheered, while the soldiers in the French battalion looked at Qinchuan with strange eyes.

"What's going on?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Lieutenant, I heard that you won another battle?" Werner ran forward to carry Qin Chuan's luggage: "And you also helped the navy win a battle!"

"How did you know?" Qin Chuan asked.

"It's hard for us not to know!" Alfredo raised the newspaper in his hand, and then read aloud: "'Legendary Sergeant' performed particularly well in this naval battle. He was keenly aware of the enemy's intentions. It is possible to attack and propose constructive air defense methods, laying the foundation for our army to achieve a great victory in this naval battle! "

Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but understand that this was a great victory that the German Navy had been waiting for for thousands of years. Of course, they would take this opportunity to publicize it, especially since it might attract Hitler's attention and regain his confidence in the navy.

Raeder was quite honest, he didn't take all the credit for Qin Chuan or say a few words lightly... But this might be another intention of Raeder, he needed to use the gimmick of "Legendary Sergeant" to spread this information faster and wider.

"Lieutenant!" Werner asked: "Don't you want to tell us how you taught those navy to fight?"

"I'm very curious!" The baker said: "Before the lieutenant joined, our navy had never won a battle!"

"That's right!" Alfredo said: "One day... I think we should throw the lieutenant into the Italian army, I think that's where the lieutenant is most needed!"

"Oh, no!" Everyone started to make a noise:

"The Italian army, even ten lieutenants are not enough!"

"Sorry, Alfredo, the lieutenant will be angry to death if he goes there!"

...

The soldiers laughed and fought together.

At this time, Qin Chuan saw Vignette who was training. Vignette also saw Qin Chuan at the same time. She smiled at Qin Chuan while running with the team.

Looking at Vignette who looked quite heroic in her military uniform and boat cap, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think of the moment before leaving the barracks...
