The journey was painful, and in order to avoid the blockade of the British and American air forces, the transport planes had to go around Sardinia to fill up their tanks and then fly back to Algiers.

Algiers is also a stopover, filling up with fuel before flying to the Timlag Basin...... The Germans had built a military airfield near the Timlage Basin to protect the oil fields, and a regiment of troops was reportedly transferred to protect the oil fields.

As the plane flew over the Timlag Basin, the baker looked down through the glass window and said, "They said there was an oil refinery being built here, but I didn't see anything!" ”

Qin Chuan probed the probe, and then said, "Do you see those oil pipelines?" ”

The baker looked at it carefully, and then replied, "Yes, but they lead to the mountains of the north!" ”

"That's right!" Qin Chuan replied: "It is impossible for them to build an oil refinery outside and let the enemy's bombers blow it up!" ”

"So they built the refinery in the mountains?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "Otherwise, as long as the Americans send enough B17s, our refinery will never be built!" ”

"It's a good idea!" The baker nodded.

The plane soon landed at the airport, and ten cars had long been parked outside the airport.

The person in charge of the airport was a colonel, he didn't ask anything, and Qin Chuan could see from his eyes that he didn't know anything.

"Ten cars, five of them for supplies, five for the empty ones! There are also ten motorcycles. "There is no driver, no license plate, no record...... Every Wednesday send someone to fetch new supplies, the same five carts, but you have to bring five empty carts. If you need anything else, send someone to inform us two days in advance! ”

"Yes, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.

In fact, all this has been written in Rommel's document to Qin Chuan.

The car drove along the road for half a day before the team reached its destination...... Zarate.

It's an abandoned village near the Atlas Mountain Range, a place that can often be seen in the desert, especially during times of war.

They are abandoned for many reasons, such as being looted by bandits, such as the well water drying up, or because there is no food to hunt around.

The reason for the abandonment of the village was probably because of the well water, because Werner immediately shone a flashlight into it and said, "There is no water!" ”

This is reasonable, because the most important thing in the desert is water, where there is water, people will come, and where people come, there will be no secrets.

The "target machine" is to be kept secret, so there should be no water.

Domestic water is to send someone to the airport every week to pick it up.

Qin Chuan took the map and looked at it, compared the surrounding environment, and then pointed to a high ground a few hundred meters away and said, "We're going to dig an air-raid shelter there, and then build fortifications around it, just like we did in the Timlage Basin, understand?" ”

"Yes, Captain!" The soldiers answered, and then they hurried away according to Qin Chuan's order.

The trench fortifications were not difficult, and the fighters were busy for a long time until it was almost over before dark.

Qin Chuan went to inspect it and was quite satisfied, barbed wire, mines, fortifications, telephone lines, and even empty canned shells on the barbed wire were hung up...... It was used as a warning, and it was usually hung in two or three of them, so that when the enemy touched the barbed wire in the dark or tried to cut it, the empty cans would collide with each other and make a strange noise to alert the sentinels.

The difficulty is the bomb shelter.

Algeria has two mountain ranges, one is the Taylor Atlas Mountains and the other is the Sahara Atlas Mountains. Both mountains run east-west, stretching for about 1,600 kilometers from eastern Morocco in the west to Tunisia through Algeria.

This was also the main reason why the Allies could not attack Algeria...... Unless the Gabès line was fought and the northern Algerian landings were made through the Tunis Channel, the two mountain ranges would have to be crossed deep into the Sahara Desert.

One of the mountain ranges, the Taylor Atlas Mountains, near the coastal cities, is garrisoned by the Zoaf Corps.

The location of Qin Chuan and the others is near the Sahara Atlas Mountains.

Because of its proximity to the Sahara Desert, the land in the highlands is full of stones...... This is a characteristic of the desert landscape, where the highlands are so weathered that they often leave behind stones, and the rest turn to sand and dust.

Fortunately, the baker in charge of this task found two caves in the high ground.

"These two caves are enough for five hundred people!" "And it's so strong that we can turn it into a bomb shelter," said the baker. I mean, just dig a few trenches! ”

"No problem!" Qin Chuan said: "You can do it!" ”

The quality of the German army is very good, or it can also be said that the action is very strong, in the words of the Chinese, it has the spirit of "master", they will seriously complete the tasks assigned to them, and even think about things other than the mission, so Qin Chuan does not need to worry about anything.

The next day, when Qin Chuan marked the location of the fortifications on the map, he heard Werner shout: "Captain, someone is coming!" ”

The soldiers stopped their movements one after another, picked up their guns, and consciously prepared for battle.

Qin Chuan looked up and saw that a convoy of more than 30 cars of various types drove to the base in front of the base with a cloud of dust in the sun, led by several jeeps.

Qin Chuan greeted him, and saw Colonel Conrad jump out of the jeep and said, "Captain, we meet again." ”

"Is this all of you?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" Colonel Conrad responded as he looked at the sun in the sky and complained, "It's really hot here, isn't it?" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan said: "You will get used to being here!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand for the soldiers to let them go.

"Good!" Colonel Conrad looked at the soldiers who were waiting for them, and the meticulous fortifications around them, and said, "You have turned this place into a barracks!" ”

Another jeep stopped in front of the two of them, and several researchers in civilian clothes got out of the car, one of whom was a young man in a white shirt, his hair combed smoothly, and an untied tie around his neck, wiped his sweat and said, "Colonel, is this our destination?" ”

"Yes, Professor!" Conrad replied.

Then he raised his head towards Qin Chuan and said, "Professor, this is the Captain Frick I told you!" ”

The young professor's eyes lit up immediately, and he took the initiative to step forward to shake hands with Qin Chuan and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Captain." Let me introduce myself, my name is von Braun, the director of the technical department! ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be so surprised that his jaw almost dropped...... This young man turned out to be von Braun.
