The Germans broke through two lines of defense of the 4th Indian Infantry Division in succession, more precisely, this was not a breakthrough but a pursuit...... The Germans met only sporadic resistance, strifeting like hungry wolves intruding into a flock, and Indian soldiers fleeing as far as the eye could see.

The Indian army ran so fast that by the time the German tanks advanced to the third line of defense, it was already empty...... The Indian soldiers all joined in the fledging ranks, and several cars, in order to escape from the fire range of the German tanks as soon as possible, drove at full speed to rampage through the deserters, despite the fact that there were their own people everywhere in front of them.

But in the end, they were not able to escape the pursuit of the Germans...... Cars were a very obvious target under the flares, and after a few shells, the cars were blown up into the sky in an instant, one of them was hit by a machine gun and the fuel tank caught fire, and as the fuel tank burst into flames, there was a group of burning people who made terrible screams around in an instant.

Behind the third line of defense is the village of Dirsin.

Similar to the houses in Libya, most of the houses in Egypt are civil structures, which are easy to be torn down by tanks, and there is a possibility that the enemy may be hidden in the houses, so the German tanks unceremoniously knocked down one after another and then ran over.

At this time, the super combat power of the tank was fully verified...... At this time, if it is a pure infantry attack, I don't know how many casualties and time it will take to occupy this village a few kilometers square.

But because of the tanks, it seemed that all the German soldiers had to do was to advance, advance, and advance.

Of course, Qin Chuan and the German soldiers did not know that one of the houses that had been torn down and crushed under the tracks was the headquarters of the 4th Infantry Division of India...... The 31-year-old Major General David and his staff did not expect their troops to collapse so quickly, one second they hoped that the troops would hold out a little longer, then the 5th Artillery Regiment would be able to provide them with enough firepower to knock the Germans back, and the next second they saw the Indian troops in confusion and rushing to escape.

In a hurry, Major General David asked a staff officer to take control of the situation, and he himself contacted the 5th Artillery Regiment in the headquarters and ordered them to open fire on the target immediately...... At this moment, a "rumbling" tank motor sounded in the rear, and just as Major General David looked in the direction of the sound, the entire wall fell down in an instant.

The only survivor was the staff officer assigned by Major General David to take control of the situation, who took prisoner and confessed the location of the headquarters to the Germans, who dug up the broken bricks and rubbles to confirm this, and also found a map of the El Alamein and Nile lines, as well as some other useful information for the Germans...... This information did not have time to destroy precisely because of the instantaneous collapse of the house.

Of course, Qin Chuan didn't care about this.

On the one hand, this is because generals, commanders and so on mean nothing to him, especially since the Indian Fourth Division has been defeated, and only a third of them can escape in the dark, so even if Major General David and his command members are still alive, what can they do? Can they still organize these remnants to continue fighting?

Forget it, the Indian soldiers have long been frightened.

On the other hand, those seized information and intelligence...... Qin Chuan knew much more than that.

Of course, this is also beneficial, at least Qin Chuan doesn't have to find any excuse to reveal any information.

It didn't take long for German tanks to raze entire villages to the ground...... If there is any house that has survived, it has been blown up with machine gun fire or grenades and explosive packs.

The 21st Panzer Division was supposed to take Alexander's supply line directly to cut off the El Alamein Line, but a bombard on the way changed General Stryker's mind.

"We are under enemy artillery fire, General!" The commander of the artillery regiment, Colonel Theo, reported: "Judging by the position of the artillery fire, they are six kilometers away from us!" ”

"Hold them back!" General Stryk immediately ordered.

"Yes, General!"

The so-called "dragging them down" is actually to use artillery fire to attract the attention of the other side, or it can also be said to start a small-scale artillery battle with the other side.

And this is what the British 5th Artillery Regiment is best at...... Because they are armed with "Priest" self-propelled guns, the advantage of self-propelled guns is that they can be transferred quickly: ordinary trailer guns must be retracted and hung behind a car to transfer after firing, which is not only the target speed will be much slower, while self-propelled guns can be hit and go, which can take a big advantage in artillery battles.

The problem was that the 5th Artillery Regiment did not know that the opponent was just a decoy, and that the Indian 4th Infantry Division, which they were going to cover, had collapsed...... This is the weakness of long-range artillery fire, the targets they want to attack are often targets more than a dozen kilometers away, so they usually do not see the enemy, to some extent they are blind and deaf, and they must rely on the coordinates provided by the front line to fight.

At this time, the commander of the 5th Artillery Regiment, Colonel Charles, was urgently calling the command of the 4th Infantry Division of India...... Not long ago, Colonel Charles had a conversation with Major General David, and he carried out the bombing according to the coordinates provided by Major General David, but now there is no news from Major David's side.

"Fuck it!" Colonel Charles scolded: "Can't they just get a few more sets of communication equipment? ”

Colonel Charles thought that the loss of contact was due to a radio malfunction or a hasty transfer, but he never imagined that Major General David and his radio station had been buried in the rubble.

"Colonel, what shall we do now?" The staff officer asked.

Colonel Charles understood what the staff officer meant, and if no one provided coordinates or observation from the front line, the artillery regiment was likely to be just a blind fight.

"Did the observer get into the position?" Colonel Charles asked.

As mentioned earlier, artillery operations always require sending artillery observers to the front line, and sometimes setting up observation stations with high-powered telescopes at high places to observe distant targets.

"It may take a few more minutes!" The staff officer replied.

At this time, a signal soldier hurriedly ran up and reported: "Colonel, the observer reports that the Indian 4th Infantry Division has been routed, and there are Indian soldiers fleeing everywhere!" ”

"What?" Colonel Charles was taken aback when he heard this, which meant that the Germans had broken through the defensive line.

Worse still...... The 5th Artillery Regiment also fired a batch of shells in the direction of the enemy not so long ago, which was tantamount to telling the enemy where it was.

Thinking of this, Colonel Charles hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, retreat immediately!" ”

But it was too late to retreat, and flares rose into the air from several directions, illuminating the hundreds of self-propelled howitzers in the center, as well as dozens of cars loaded with shells.
