Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect General Stryk to directly ask him about his next move...... This should have been a question for staff officers or several regiment commanders to answer.

"Don't be surprised!" General Stryk seemed to see through Qin Chuan's thoughts, and he explained: "I only believe in the person who can bring me victory, not in his rank!" ”

General Stryker's words are very direct, and at the same time they are the reality of war...... Victory is the most important thing, as long as it can bring victory to the troops, even if it is to ask for the opinion of a sergeant.

Qin Chuan didn't think about this problem, he just wanted to find supplies for the German army and fight the British army at the same time, but what should he do next......

"Are we having any difficulties?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" General Stryk said: "We don't have enough cars to take away enough supplies, so we can only stay here!" ”

Qin Chuan quickly understood what General Stryk meant.

The Germans had the advantage of being mobile, and they had tanks and mechanized units that were much faster than the British...... In fact, the British army had no mechanized troops of practical significance, which was due to its backward tactical decisions and equipment.

The maximum speed of the "Valentine" tank is only 24 kilometers per hour, and the actual marching speed is not much faster than on foot, so there is no need to form mechanized units at all.

In contrast, the German armored division can be called a real armored division, with cars, armored vehicles, and side three-wheeled wheels, all of which can be quickly maneuvered on wheels.

This is also one of the reasons why the British army is always in a situation of being beaten passively when it has superior forces on the battlefield...... The Germans, who were more mobile, could easily avoid the British and attack their weak points.

If the Germans had to stop at Sidioba because of supplies...... That will undoubtedly be besieged by the British army, and in the end it will not escape the fate of defeat.

"Is it possible for us to find more cars?" Seeing that Qin Chuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Colonel Slane interjected.

General Stryk shook his head: "There is a desert within a radius of dozens of miles, and the British have already received the news that we have occupied Sidioma, their supply teams will bypass here, and it will be difficult for us to capture enough cars in the limited time." ”

Limited time, referring to the time when the British arrived at Sidioma.

This time will not be long, because Sidioma is only seventy kilometers away from the Gabshali line, while the "Stuart" can reach a top speed of 58 kilometers per hour...... Even if you are in the sandy desert, it only takes two hours to reach Sidioma.

Two-hour ......

That is, if you don't start to transfer now, I'm afraid it's too late.

"Maybe we can ambush along the way!" Colonel Albridge said, "Our tanks are superior to theirs, and we can use this to crush them on our way here!" ”

General Stryk shook his head again and replied: "Because of the wind and sand, it is also difficult for our reconnaissance planes to find the enemy's position and estimate their marching routes, so it is very difficult to ambush!" ”

Qin Chuan can understand this, this is the characteristic of desert warfare...... Desert warfare is not like other terrain warfare, the troops only need to occupy the high ground on both sides of the road and set up an ambush, and the enemy must always pass through the road under the high ground if he wants to come up.

This is not the case in the desert, where you can take the road or not, and in some places there is no road at all.

Here, if you want to ambush the enemy, you must first detect the enemy and estimate the possible position of the enemy from the direction of his advance and set up an ambush...... Otherwise, one is not careful, and the ambusher may instead become the prey of the enemy.

At this time, Qin Chuan was a little helpless, he thought that all the problems of getting supplies would be solved, but he didn't expect to fall into such a dilemma.

"If it had been ...... before," said General Stryker, "we might have been able to get supplies from the British stronghold all the way as we had done in the previous capture of Tobruk, but now we ......"

As he spoke, General Stryk smiled bitterly.

The officers understood the meaning of General Stryker's wry smile, the British became smarter, they knew that if the supplies were buried in the ground, then it would not be so easy for the Germans to find the supplies of the British one after another, and if one was not good, they would fall into a desperate situation without supplies.

"So!" Colonel Albridge thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we defend according to Sidioma?" We have supplies and the British don't, and Tobruk may be able to provide us with reinforcements, so we can win the final victory......"

"That's a great idea!" Colonel Slane nodded.

"But there's no way around it!" General Stryk said: "Because it is impossible to hope that Tobruk will reinforce us, the British are several times our strength, and their 13th Army has besieged Tobruk and launched a storm, and we ...... It's time to face the 30th Army of the British independently! ”

In other words, the 21st Panzer Division had to face three British divisions on its own, one of which was the British 7th Panzer Division, which had many more tanks than the Germans, and the British had air assistance.

To make matters worse, Sidioma, like the rest of the desert, is almost unsafe...... This is one of the reasons why mobility is so important in the desert, where the defending side usually suffers, unless there is a strong Tobruk line or a natural danger like the Halfa Tooth Pass.

Therefore, if Sidioma defends it, even if he can win in the end, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

There was silence in the command vehicle, and the officers all frowned and looked at the map on the table, as if a perfect battle plan would suddenly pop up in the map.

Qin Chuan also felt powerless in this regard, and now the situation of the German army is not to go, and it is not to go...... Could it be that the 21st Panzer Division could not escape the historical fate of losing both sides with the British army?

Suddenly, Qin Chuan thought of something, so he said to General Stryk: "General, what if we leave here and still be able to keep this batch of supplies intact?" ”

"How is this possible?" General Stryk replied with a smile: "We have to blow up these supplies before we leave, or they will fall back into the hands of the British!" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan said: "So the British think so too!" ”

"What do you mean?" General Stryk asked, puzzled.

Colonel Albridge and Colonel Slane also cast a puzzled look at Qin Chuan.
