The British army, who were not mentally prepared, did not expect this situation to happen. They were beaten up in a confused manner in the first attack.

Colonel Bud felt weak, and he punched him hard but hit the mud. He didn't say anything and was still full of trouble.

"General!" Colonel Bud reported when he contacted Montgomery later: "I think their tunnels are not independent, they are coordinated into one body!"

"What does it mean?" asked Montgomery.

"I'm not very clear!" Colonel Bard replied: "But I have reason to believe that they have communication equipment in the tunnel. If one of the high grounds is attacked, the other high grounds will cover it with fire. We injured dozens of people in the attack, but we didn't even touch their shadows!"

"But they are in the tunnel, how can they communicate?"

"I don't know, General!"

After thinking about it, Montgomery ordered: "Try to cut off their communication lines, and... try to attack several high grounds at the same time so that they can't cover each other, do you understand?"

"Yes, General!"

Then Colonel Bud did exactly that, and he divided the troops into three parts... In fact, in order to ensure his firepower advantage, Colonel Bud did not divide the troops into three parts, but transferred two battalions from the 15th Armored Division, which were used to attack the 217th Heights and the 193 Heights behind the 312th Heights.

It should be said that this style of play is correct. Even if the British attack on the 217th and 193th heights were just feints, it would suppress the firepower of these two high grounds, so the firepower cover on the 312th heights would be reduced in number.

This is true. This time, the British army successfully attacked the 312 Highlands. Although they still had to face the problem of covering each other at the entrance of the tunnel and shooting guns, at least they did not need to worry about firepower in other directions.

However, even so, they found themselves unable to start.

"What should we do?" Major Eugen, who commanded the Second Infantry Battalion, asked Colonel Bard on the walkie-talkie: "We found their tunnel entrance. This is a hole about six feet in diameter. Will it collapse?"

This quickly asked Colonel Bud.

The problem would obviously not be solved if the hole collapsed, because they had already done so before.

"Try to attack!" said Colonel Bud.

"But Colonel!" Major Eugen asked in confusion: "How can I attack?"

"No matter what method is used!" Colonel Bard replied impatiently: "Grenades or anything else, in short, they will blow them out for me!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Major Eugen started to feel embarrassed after hanging up the phone, but he still called a few capable subordinates and said, "Listen, we have to try to shoot in. I know this is dangerous, but this is war, right? I want you to prepare grenades, just like street fighting training, throw the anti-n grenades in and wait for it to explode, and then rush in. No matter what the thing is, shoot it to death, do you understand?"

"I understand, Major!"

"clear!"

...

A few minutes later, these brave soldiers were ready. They were carrying the Thomson submachine gun... This submachine gun has a large capacity and is much shorter than a rifle, so it is obviously more suitable for close combat in a narrow space in the tunnel.

In addition, each of them prepared ten oval grenades on their bodies and backpacks... They were planning to use grenades to open the way and then use submachine guns to strafuse them.

As for other things, such as kettles, they are all left outside. They need to go into battle lightly so that they can move quickly and flexibly in the tunnel as much as possible.

This offensive tactic can indeed play some role, because when the grenade explodes in the tunnel, a piece of smoke will be raised, and the sniper who is responsible for blocking the entrance of the tunnel through a steel pipe in the sniper room will be blocked from his sight.

But Qin Chuan was prepared for this when designing the tunnel. After hearing the sound of the grenade explosion, the sniper waited for a while and then pulled a grenade and stuffed it into the steel pipe above... It was a tilted steel pipe buried in the soil. The grenade slipped all the way inside and would soon slide to the front of the tunnel entrance.

At this time, the British soldiers who had prepared rushed into the tunnel... Before they could walk a few steps, they felt something fell nearby and were smoking.

"Grenade!" The British soldiers had only had time to shout, and the grenade exploded with a "boom". The British army who was walking in the front was killed on the spot. The second one was injured by shrapnel and let out a burst of wail. The third soldier hurriedly dragged it out, but when he was dragged to the entrance of the tunnel, a bullet flew out from inside and killed him. Only the injured second was dragged back by his comrades in time.

"God!" Major Eugen said: "We don't know the internal structure of the tunnel at all. They can easily kill us, but we beat us like blind people!"

The attacks of the other tunnels were similar, and some British troops tried to throw smoke bombs and rush in. However, the German troops still only threw a few grenades out to solve the problem. Occasionally, several British soldiers rushed into the tunnels after they became leakers, but they were soon beaten into sieve by the German soldiers guarding inside.

"This is Tulao, Colonel!" Major Eugen reported to Colonel Bard: "That is a waste of the lives of soldiers, and we cannot succeed!"

Colonel Bard had to answer helplessly: "Blast the tunnel entrance and mark it, we will think of a solution!"

In fact, it is not only these that bothered Colonel Bard.

The high ground on the Gabes defense line is one after another. The 312 high ground has two high grounds on the side and two high grounds on the side and two high grounds on the side and back are covered by two other adjacent high grounds...

As a result, the two troops used to feint the attack on the 217th and 193th highlands were bombarded and strafed by cover units in other directions.

There were only two battalions in the two directions, and they were quickly attacked. Then Heights 217 and Heights 193 provided cover for Heights 312.

Soon, the situation occurred again during the first attack, and the British army left dozens of corpses and were beaten down again.

"This tactic doesn't work, General!" Colonel Bud reported to Montgomery: "In order to seize one high ground, we must suppress the firepower of two high grounds, and in order to suppress the firepower of two high grounds, we must suppress the firepower of four other high grounds... unless we can attack all the high grounds on the entire defense line at the same time, there will be no effect!"
