After drinking enough water and filling all the water bags, water bottles, and empty oil cans, the troops embarked on the march again.

After walking through the oasis, the road began to be flat, and the surrounding area was not as attractive except for sand and sand, and some dead grass or green sandy plants appeared on the side of the road from time to time, such as cacti, bitter watermelon, etc.

This made the march much easier, and Werner picked three bitter watermelons and walked as he performed acrobatics for the soldiers.

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, the baker exclaimed, "Well done, Werner. If you can take a bite, that's even better! ”

The soldiers burst out laughing.

"Sergeant Otto!" Werner casually tossed one of the bitter watermelons to the baker: "Why don't we make a bet, you eat a bite and I will eat a bite!" ”

The soldiers cheered:

"Bet, bet!"

"Eat, eat!"

……

Without hesitation, the baker grabbed the fruit and took a bite of it, then chewed it with relish.

"Well, it tastes good!" The baker raised his head at Werner: "You want to taste it too?" ”

Werner couldn't help but be stunned, and so were the soldiers around him.

"Hell!" Kuhn couldn't help but scold: "Are you kidding? Or do you think you're invincible? Spit it out! ”

The baker laughed, opened his mouth wide and said that there was nothing in his mouth, and then he took out the intact bitter watermelon in his hand as if by magic, raised it in front of everyone, and said proudly: "I lied to you! ”

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've got you, sergeant!" Werner said: "Pretend to be like it, you win!" ”

"You know what?" The baker said, "I've always wanted to be an actor!" ”

"Want to be an actor's baker?"

"Yes, but ended up being a soldier!" The baker laughed to himself, "This may well be my final career!" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but be deeply touched when they heard this, and several of them shook their heads with wry smiles.

Qin Chuan could understand what they meant, they originally had their own ideals, such as some wanted to become engineers, some wanted to become doctors, and some wanted to become farmers...... But the war turned their dreams into unattainable fantasies, and what awaited them in front was only one battle after another until death.

Just as the soldiers were silent because of their feelings, a nervous command suddenly came from ahead:

"Anti-aircraft concealment!"

"Anti-aircraft concealment!"

……

The soldiers quickly stopped and lay on the ground, and then took out the poncho from their backpacks as fast as they could, and the car soldiers jumped out of the car quickly, and with the cooperation of the co-pilot, the canvas that was originally rolled up in the rear compartment unfolded to cover the entire car.

The canvases and ponchos were dyed a sandy brown beforehand...... These are all things from the Italian army, which, as colonizers of Libya, will have something suitable for desert warfare.

As a result, the whole army soon merged with the desert, at least from the air.

After a while, I heard the sound of "rumbling" planes in the air.

Qin Chuan thought that this should be because the scouts distributed around the troops saw the plane from a distance, and then notified the troops to do concealment, otherwise it would be too late to conceal at this time.

Qin Chuan wanted to poke his head out and look at the sky, but after thinking about it, it was better to forget it, if it was just because of this curiosity that the entire army would be exposed...... I don't know if the Germans will treat themselves like Berg.

The British plane circled overhead a few times, and flew away without noticing anything.

When he got up, Qin Chuan had a feeling that he was back to reality again.

When the troops are deep in the heart of the desert, they don't need to worry about enemies or fighters, it's like another world isolated from the rest of the world...... Now, they're back to reality.

"Keep going!"

"Keep going!"

……

The order soon came down again, and Qin Chuan couldn't help but look back at the awe-inspiring desert.

Not long ago, Qin Chuan was still trying his best to escape from there, and now he misses it a little. Because Qin Chuan felt ...... The real world may be more brutal and dangerous than the desert.

The next day, the troops received orders to speed up their advance towards the target, because they received the news that the German army had launched an offensive towards Mechichi, and that any further delay would be left behind the frontal advance of the interspersed troops.

But this is not the case, it is just a lie that Rommel used to urge his troops to speed up...... Or maybe it's Rommel's crazy idea that is out of the ordinary.

Rommel did try to organize a German attack on Mechile, even though he did not have many soldiers with him.

"Give you an hour, you have to launch an offensive against Mechile!" Rommel angrily gave orders to General Stryker, commander of the 5th Light Panzer Division.

"I'm afraid not, Your Excellency General!" Stryk replied: "Because most of my troops have not yet arrived, we cannot attack without them, and reluctantly attacking will only cost the lives of our soldiers in vain!" ”

Rommel was not satisfied with this answer, and he roared loudly: "You are simply a Confucian man, and this cannot be a reason why you cannot attack!" ”

Stryk angrily took a step closer in front of Rommel, and at the same time unbuttoned his collar to reveal the "Iron Cross" medal he had received in France last year for his bravery, and said: "General, are you accusing me of not deserving this medal?" If yes, I'll rip it off and throw it at your feet! ”

Rommel couldn't help but be stunned, this is a big problem...... Because Stryker's "Iron Cross" medal was awarded by Hitler, if he did so, he would be denying Hitler.

"No, General Stryk!" Rommel slowed his tone: "You misunderstood, I hope you can do everything you can to gather your troops, and then launch an attack on Mechile as soon as possible!" ”

"I will, General!" With that, Stryk turned and walked away from Rommel's headquarters.

This embarrassed Rommel a little, as he did not allow Stryk to leave.

Stryk proved right, and it wasn't until two days later that enough troops were gathered to begin attacking Mechichi...... If Rommel had started attacking two days earlier, as Rommel intended, the troops would have gone to their deaths in small groups in front of the British lines.

And when the battle for Mechile began, a regiment of officers and soldiers also rushed to the destination Tengeter.

The German officers and soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw Tengetener in the telescope: Tenggertener was an ordinary town in the desert area, surrounded by an open area and there was no danger to defend.

It may not be difficult to capture it, but it will not be easy to hold it, especially since the British still have tanks.
