Chapter 50 Surprise

Happy Chinese Valentine's Day!

However, if you are still waiting for the soldiers to update, I am afraid that tonight will be miserable... The soldiers can only say to you: Start working hard tomorrow, and try not to wait for updates on the next Chinese Valentine's Day!

On the march, the soldiers were all nervous, thinking: Why are we still attacking the enemy? Are there enough supplies and ammunition? Where are the reinforcements?

But orders are orders, there is no room for debate and questioning, and the soldiers can only follow the troops and trot all the way to Tugla.

Tugla is more than 30 kilometers away from Tengteng'er, and it almost reached its destination before dawn the next day.

At this time, there was a "surprise" that no one expected...

The troops were walking in the night, and I don't know when there were a few more armored vehicles around them.

This was not a big deal. It was normal for the marching troops to have a few vehicles around them, so the soldiers didn't care, and they marched together for a while with mutual courtesy, and even Qin Chuan didn't notice anything at the beginning.

But as they walked, Qin Chuan felt something was wrong... When the troops came out of Tengerten, they didn't bring any vehicles with them, and even the regiment commander Colonel Slain was walking, so where did these armored vehicles come from?

If the scouts seized them from the British army... This might make sense, but the troops were marching secretly at this time, so how could they seize several "rumbling" armored vehicles and move forward with the troops?

Especially when one of the armored vehicles honked its horn lightly because it was blocked by a soldier, Qin Chuan was even more suspicious... Why would the armored vehicle honk its horn at this time, when it was about to reach the target? Aren't they worried about exposing their target?

So Qin Chuan waved to his subordinates, and more than a dozen people stopped the five armored vehicles with guns.

"What's wrong? Sergeant!" Kuhn rushed up. He was surprised by Qin Chuan's behavior. He thought that there were officers in the armored vehicles, and Qin Chuan's behavior was asking for trouble.

Unexpectedly, the armored vehicle driver stuck his head out and cursed: "Don't block the road, bastard!"

This curse scared Kuhn, and he quickly raised his gun and aimed it at the armored vehicle... The driver spoke English.

Qin Chuan walked to the car window with a rifle and shouted in an imperative tone in English: "Sir, if you want to live, turn off the engine and open the door!"

The driver seemed to understand something, and his face turned pale, but he still raised his hands slowly as Qin Chuan said.

Qin Chuan heard another person in the back of the car ask sleepily: "What happened, John, why did you stop?"

"General..." The driver didn't know how to answer.

Qin Chuan knew he had made a lot of money this time when he heard this...General, there was a British general sitting in the armored vehicle? !

Qin Chuan guessed correctly. There were indeed British generals sitting in the armored vehicles, and there was more than one. There were four generals in five vehicles, and one car of entourage, but they all fell asleep in the car, so they didn't play a role until the end.

The four generals were Lieutenant General Philip Nim, Lieutenant General Richard O'Connor, and two major generals of staff.

These two lieutenant generals were not ordinary people (in fact, those who could become lieutenant generals in the war were not ordinary people).

Lieutenant General Philip Nim was the commander-in-chief of the current British Cyrenaica Command. Simply put, he was directly commanding the British troops on the entire front line at this time.

Richard O'Connor was even more extraordinary... He was Lieutenant General Nim's predecessor. Not long ago, it was General O'Connor who led the British army to defeat the Italian army and captured 130,000 Italian officers and soldiers.

This battle made General O'Connor famous, so he was promoted to commander-in-chief in Egypt, and his work was taken over by General Nim.

It's just that General Nim had bad luck... When O'Connor was in office, he faced the Italian army that collapsed at the first blow. As soon as General Nim took office, he encountered Rommel who led the 5th Light Armored Division to land in Africa. As a result, he was beaten and fled all the way here.

Wavell believed that at least part of the reason was that General Nim's command was ineffective, so he sent General O'Connor, who had been a powerful figure in the North African battlefield, to "assist" General Nim in commanding the battle, hoping to turn defeat into victory.

But who would have thought... General O'Connor had only been here for a few days, and he was confused and plunged into the German army.

Hearing that two generals were captured, the surrounding German soldiers gathered around to see the style of the British general.

Qin Chuan said to General Nim and General O'Connor who got off the car with a bewildered look: "Welcome, General, I think your choice is right!"

General Nim couldn't help but glared at the driver and said: "Well done, John, we really should give you a medal!"

"Don't worry, General!" Qin Chuan replied while disarming General Nim and others: "We will give him a medal!"

A considerable number of German soldiers knew English, and they couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

The driver looked helpless. This might be the most ridiculous thing he had done in his life, sending four generals to the enemy...

But it seems that he can't be blamed for this. First of all, no one would have thought that they would encounter a large German army outside Tengtenger. Secondly, it was still dark at this time. In addition, this was a desert, and there was always a thick layer of dust on the car windows, making it impossible for him to tell whether the team was British or German.

But it was too late to say anything now, and the driver could only accept his fate.

Soon, Colonel Slain also came upon hearing the news. He had obviously seen photos of Lieutenant General O'Connor and Lieutenant General Nim, so he recognized them at a glance.

"God!" Colonel Slain said in surprise: "General Nim, General O'Connor... Are you here to capture me?"

The German army laughed again.

"Well done, Sergeant!" Before taking the two generals away, Colonel Slain patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder: "We have made a good start, haven't we? This seems to verify that your plan is correct!"

He ordered the guards to take General Nim and others away. They needed to seize the time to conduct an interrogation to obtain more intelligence.

Then, Qin Chuan found that the German soldiers around him were staring at him blankly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan said: "It's just a few generals captured, you are also involved!"

"It's not because of the capture of generals!" said the baker.

"Then why?" Qin Chuan was a little confused.

"So..." Bazel said: "Did you make this crazy plan?"

Qin Chuan realized the problem at this time.

"I just made a suggestion to the colonel!" Qin Chuan explained, "I didn't expect the colonel to agree!"

Bazel shook his head and sighed, "Sergeant, do you know how I reacted when I heard about this plan? I was shocked... because I thought it was just a matter of luck, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt it made sense. I couldn't imagine that the person who came up with this plan was actually standing in front of me... Good job!"
