The eyes of the German tankers saw the tanks of the British.

Needless to say, the importance of tanks is not overstated, and in terrain such as the desert, the infantry is often engaged in long, arduous battles in the open air, digging shelters in the scorching sun on soft sand, or enduring thirst in places where there is no water source.

And the situation with the tank is almost the opposite of the infantry, it is a big guy of about 20 tons, which can carry many supplies...... Although the interior space is small, the supplies can be strapped to the outside in boxes.

They roar and shoot flames in battle, like bullets, their armor can be used as a mobile cover, while also allowing them to easily jump over the bushes, and with a strong road surface and plenty of fuel, they can easily traverse the wilderness.

Therefore, the most important target in the eyes of a tanker is the enemy tank, which is also the equipment that poses the greatest threat to him.

As a result, German tanks interspersed back and forth among the scattered British soldiers, destroying the "Stuart" on the spot, which was turning to escape.

Eventually, some of the Stuart tanks used their agility or the driver's skillful skills to turn and successfully escape.

The pursuit of Stuart was painful for Three, as it was faced with an awkward choice: pursue or shoot.

In fact, the pursuit did not make much sense, because the speed of the "Stuart" tank was faster than that of the "Three", and the result of the pursuit was that the distance between them was getting wider and wider, and the pursuit could not be fired at the same time.

The fire had to be stopped and stopped for a few seconds before it could be fired, and the "Stuart" tank was fleeing at full speed, and by the time the German tank stopped, the "Stuart" might have driven into the wind and sand and escaped from sight.

This is not the same thing as the previous pursuit of the "Matilda" or "Valentine" infantry tanks...... "No. 3" tank was able to catch up with the "Matilda" even with a short stop of firing.

As a result, the "No. 3" tank could only finally destroy a few "Stuart" that fell behind the team, and then watched them disappear.

In desperation, "No. 3" could only shift the target and turn the muzzle of the gun to the British infantry......

This time it was lively again: the "No. 3" tank was not a British tank, it had a side-by-side machine gun and a course machine gun, and with the roar of a machine gun, the British deserters fell in pieces like harvested crops.

There are also anti-personnel grenades fired from tank guns, as well as tracks...... Only then did Qin Chuan know why someone would call a tank a "killing equipment", every part of it could be used as a weapon: tank guns, machine guns, tracks, and even a car with full horsepower could knock it over.

So a tragic massacre unfolded in front of Qin Chuan, with blood, screams, stumps and broken arms...... Everything that would have been unimaginable in a peaceful society will become the norm here.

The British soldiers soon realized that resistance was pointless and could not escape, so they threw up their hands in surrender.

The battle ended after half an hour.

In this battle, the British 7th Panzer Division could almost be said to have been defeated, only about 30 of the 200 tanks could escape, and the other 100 or more were either destroyed or captured by the Germans.

In addition, the Germans captured more than 2,000 British soldiers, one hundred and fifteen vehicles and sixty-five almost intact anti-tank guns, as well as thirty cars filled with fuel.

And the total losses of the Germans were only fifteen tanks pierced by armor-piercing shells and could not be used.

Unlike before, in this battle, the Germans captured the Stuart, which was faster than the Three, and it was also a fire monster with five machine guns that suppressed the infantry......

Although the "No. 3" tank has excellent performance and good safety, its main opponent is the enemy's tank. The "Stuart" tank has a powerful ability to suppress the infantry, and it can be a supplement to the "No. 3".

Colonel Albridge, who was an expert in the use of tanks, certainly knew this, and was overjoyed to know that thirty-three "Stuarts" had been captured.

The only problem was that the German tank crews were very unfamiliar with American tanks and needed training to develop combat effectiveness...... But this is actually not a big problem, because the driving of the tank is actually the same, and the more important thing is the coordination between the commander, gunner and other tank crews, and the German army is fully equipped in this regard.

Another big catch was the more than 100 cars...... The German armored division was in need of a car to transport supplies, but the British army did not expect to send it to the German army immediately after this battle.

The headache was the British prisoners.

More than 2,000 people gathered together, it was all black and oppressive, kill them all, it is difficult for so many people to do it. Let it go, they will become the enemies of the Germans again in the blink of an eye.

In the end, there was no choice, and General Stryk could only order them to be temporarily loaded into a car and controlled...... Just use the cars that have just been seized, they are empty anyway, each car is loaded with about 40 people, and more than 50 cars are all loaded.

And these prisoners can basically rest assured, and they don't even need to send soldiers to guard the carriage, the reason is very simple, there is desert everywhere for dozens of miles, and the British prisoners leaving the convoy can almost be said to be killing themselves...... This was another headache for the Germans for these prisoners: the prisoners consumed a lot of drinking water and food, which were very precious in the desert.

Of course, the Germans would not be relenting to the wounded British prisoners, killing them one by one in the pile of dead while cleaning up the battlefield, or simply leaving them to their fate.

But let's be honest, the former is perhaps more merciful than the latter.

Because of the injuries sustained in the desert and not receiving the necessary treatment, the wounds quickly become infected and inflamed, and eventually die in agony.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that the German army consciously chose the latter.

That is, a few wounded were distributed among the British prisoners, so that the British prisoners watched the wounded slowly die in pain, so as to break the morale of the British prisoners and warn them not to flee easily.

This method was very effective, and those British prisoners did not need to be tied up, so they obediently obeyed the orders of the Germans and sat in the back compartment and did not dare to make any movements.

There were even many British soldiers who rescued and carried supplies under the orders of the Germans...... Some of the trucks carrying supplies were damaged during the battle, and the supplies in the cars behind them had to be transferred to the trucks. In addition, it is necessary to collect the water bottles of British soldiers killed on the battlefield...... Water is the most precious resource in the desert and should not be wasted.
