Chapter 353 Surrender

Eisenhower suspected, but he had no way to do anything.

First of all, he didn't have the power of command, including the power of command of the US military... At this time, the US military was actually commanded by Montgomery.

But this is not the point. The point is that Eisenhower didn't know what the German army was up to. If he knew, he just needed to point it out to Montgomery.

All Eisenhower could do was to let his friend and US frontline commander General Patton interrogate German prisoners to try to get some clues, but the result still disappointed Eisenhower. The German soldiers themselves knew nothing. They only vaguely knew the structure of some tunnels.

While the battle was in full swing outside, the tunnels were counting days in darkness and day.

It was a strange feeling... Not knowing the difference between darkness and day, the soldiers could do nothing except eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, so they slept whenever they had time, and soon their biological clocks were in chaos.

In fact, sleeping is not always so peaceful. From time to time, a few scorpions or cobras would run out of the tunnels to join in the fun.

Scorpions like to hide in boots, and put boots on their feet after waking up... A soldier was stung by a scorpion in this way, and his feet were swollen like carrots. Fortunately, there were disinfectants and several medical soldiers in the tunnel, so it was not fatal.

On the first day, there was no big trouble except for a small disturbance caused by Yulia.

The second day was also safe and sound.

In the early morning of the third day... Actually, it didn't matter whether it was early morning or night.

A soldier may have had a nightmare, and he started to go crazy after waking up, and kept shouting "I want to go out, I can't stand it, let them kill me!".

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 had an MP40 in his hand, and there was no room to hide in this tunnel.

Just when 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 here anymore. I want to see my family, my parents, my brother, and my younger brother who is studying. Do you have a family?"

"Of course!" The soldier replied.

"What's your name?"

"Charles!"

"Very good! Charles..." Yulia said: "I guess your family is in Algiers, right?"

"Yes!"

"They must miss you very much!" Yulia said in the gentlest voice possible: "Think about them, okay? They will hope you go back alive! Put down the gun, relax..."

When Qin Chuan arrived, he saw Yulia letting Charles slowly put down his gun like a magician. Several German soldiers took the opportunity to rush up and control him, and Yulia sat on the ground as if he was exhausted.

"Well done, Major!" Qin Chuan said, "You finally have a chance to show your expertise!"

"No, Lieutenant!" Yulia retorted, "I'm just a waste of rations!"

Qin Chuan smiled and didn't intend to pay attention to her, because he knew Yulia was vomiting.

"At least say something!" Yulia shouted at Qin Chuan's back, "Otherwise we will all go crazy!"

Qin Chuan turned around and said, "Before you go crazy, remember to tell me first!"

He turned around and went into the tunnel, leaving the desperate and painful Yulia crying quietly behind.

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 Charles down.

The consequences of this incident soon appeared.

A few hours later, the baker reported to Qin Chuan: "Lieutenant, I got the news that two soldiers in the third row plan to escape tonight!"

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan's face sank and said: "They plan to surrender to the British!"

"I'm not sure!" The baker said: "Maybe they are like Charles..."

"No!" Qin Chuan said: "If they are like Charles, then they will not choose to act at night!"

The baker nodded in agreement.

"Do you need me to catch them?" the baker asked.

"No, don't alarm them!" Qin Chuan said: "You keep watching them, and report to me as soon as they take action!"

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

After the baker left, Qin Chuan called Colonel Slaine and said: "Colonel, I need your help!"

The two French soldiers who planned to escape were two from Oran, one from a tobacco factory and the other a tobacco merchant. This made them good friends before joining the French camp and reached a certain degree of trust... After all, they are a community of interests, so it is easy to reach a consensus.

They really took action that night, and the plan went surprisingly smoothly. They secretly removed the sandbags that sealed the entrance of the No. 3 invisible tunnel, and used the engineer shovel to dig through the soil layer more than one meter thick, and got out before the other soldiers in the tunnel arrived.

"Go back!" The baker pretended to be furious and ordered: "You know what the consequences of doing this will be!"

Then, Qin Chuan appeared in front of everyone pretending to just know about it.

"It seems that some of us chose to side with the British!" Qin Chuan said, "What a stupid act!"

The French soldiers did not dare to speak because they were worried that Qin Chuan would doubt their entire army.

"Lieutenant!" Baudoin explained: "The rest of us know nothing about this!"

"Of course I know!" Qin Chuan said, "This has nothing to do with you!"

The French soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Do we need to fill in the tunnel entrance?" Baudouin asked again.

"Do you think we can fill up the tunnel entrance?" Qin Chuan asked.

Baudoin couldn't help but be startled, and then he understood the meaning of Qinchuan's words... The entrance of the tunnel must be filled in and disguised outside to make sense, otherwise the British will soon discover the problem when they see the new soil the next day. of.

"Do you know why I call it a stupid behavior?" Qin Chuan said: "Because they don't know at all... There is only one British battalion on Highland Zero, and a considerable part of them are engineers. We can drill in at any time. Get out of the tunnel and kill them all!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but stare at Qin Chuan in stunned silence, especially Yulia who had always wanted to go out.
