More and more German troops rushed to Tobruk, and soon the main forces of the 5th Light Panzer Division also arrived...... The German Panzer Divisions were different from the British Panzer Divisions, which were even slower than the infantry, while the German Panzer Divisions were almost the fastest.

The barracks near the port were immediately crowded with German soldiers, cars, motorcycles, and armoured vehicles. It's just that because they had been fighting fiercely with the main British army for several days and nights before this, they looked a little embarrassed, their equipment was full of bullet marks, and wounded soldiers wrapped in gauze could be seen everywhere among the soldiers.

Only then did the Italian fleet falter too late, and two transport ships approached the harbor under the cover of warships, and a group of Italian soldiers disembarked from the ships...... Sure enough, as Alfredo said, they lined up in neat formations, brightly dressed and bright, and from time to time waved their hands proudly at the German soldiers, shouting something that the German soldiers did not understand, as if they were the conquerors of Tobruk.

"Aren't you going to talk to them?" Werner asked Alfredo.

"No!" Alfredo replied succinctly.

"Why?" Werner asked.

"Because I feel safer with you!" Alfredo replied.

The German soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

"It's a delusion!" The baker said.

"Yes, it's an absolute delusion!" Werner agreed.

"No, I don't think it's a delusion!" Alfredo replied seriously.

Only Qin Chuan understood the meaning of Alfredo's words, what the German soldiers said was that the German army had to take on more dangerous tasks, and the German army could not retreat at every turn like the Italian army, and if it was really not possible, it could surrender, and in this respect, of course, it was safer to be with the Italian army.

But the "security" that Alfredo spoke of was not security on this level, he was talking about "security", or it could also be said that the trust between comrades-in-arms that could be trusted with life and death, which was obviously not found in the Italian army, and they could even abandon their comrades at any time.

As he spoke, several armored command vehicles drove into the barracks with exhaust fumes and dust...... This really made the soldiers nervous for a while, because they recognized it as the British command vehicle, and at first they thought it was a British raid, so they unloaded their guns from their backs and looked for cover.

Until several German soldiers shouted: "Don't be nervous, it's your own people, don't shoot!" ”

Later, Qin Chuan and others learned that it was Major General Stryker, commander of the 5th Light Armored Division, who was in this armored command vehicle.

"General Stryk is really going to enjoy it!" The baker muttered quietly.

Qin Chuan knew what the baker meant, the soldiers had seen this kind of armored command vehicle, and it was this thing that General Nimes and General O'Connor, whom they had captured, were riding in before.

Because of the elephant-like protrusion on the front engine of this armored command vehicle, the German soldiers also called it "Mammoth".

The British called it differently and they called it "Dorchester...... Dorchester is a luxury hotel located in the heart of London, it is a microcosm of London luxury and a representative.

Needless to say, the British soldiers named the "Mammoth" command vehicle after "Dorchester...... This command vehicle is so luxurious, it is not at all what the battlefield should have, it is in stark contrast to the hardships of the soldiers and the situation of facing the test of life and death at any time.

This command vehicle was modified from the chassis of the "Matador" car, the armor on the hull was 12mm thick, the interior had seats, desks, lockers and beds, and could accommodate 4 staff members and 2 radio operators.

It is also divided into two compartments, the office and the radio room. There is also a stockpile of wine, water, vegetables, coffee, food and a small pot for cooking...... It's a modern RV, an armored RV.

You must know that this is in the desert, and it is difficult for others to even drink saliva outside, while British officers can leisurely drink red wine or coffee in the command car and discuss life, all their work is to look at the map and pat their heads to come up with a plan, and then give orders by radio...... Therefore, it is no wonder that the German officers seized this command vehicle and took it for their own regardless of the identification problem.

It is worth mentioning that the British army was also the only country in World War II to develop and produce special armored command vehicles...... The luxury and enjoyment of the British army can also be seen from this, which may be one of the reasons why Britain was so easily pulled down from the throne of the world's first power by the United States...... How can the soldiers be allowed to fight bravely when the officers are still so poor and extravagant when the soldiers are fighting hard? Especially those colonial troops who will be used as cannon fodder at every turn, how can they make them fight for Britain willingly?!

"Phew!" With a bang, several armored command vehicles stopped at the entrance of the headquarters, and Major General Stryk and several staff officers jumped out of the cars and walked into the headquarters while putting on their hats.

"How dare you break into the barracks in an enemy armored vehicle?" As soon as Rommel saw Major General Stryker, he unceremoniously reprimanded: "Do you want the soldiers to shoot at you?" Or do you want the soldiers to think about whether the enemy officer or our officer is riding in this armored vehicle the next time they see this armored vehicle? ”

Major General Stryk knew that he was at a loss, so he replied with a low posture: "Sorry General, my jeep broke down, I can only do this!" ”

Rommel snorted, apparently not satisfied with the answer.

But the 5th Light Division was now the only German unit in his hands, and this unit was still outstanding on the battlefield, so Rommel did not want to overly pursue the mistakes and pomp of this division commander for the time being.

"Alright, Major General Stryk!" Rommel said, "I think you've had enough, now it's time to lead your army in pursuit of the enemy!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Major General Stryk couldn't help but be stunned: "General, you mean...... Are we going to continue to push east? ”

"Of course!" Rommel replied without thinking.

"But we're already at the border!" Major General Stryk objected: "And we are seriously understaffed, the soldiers are exhausted and desperately need to rest, and there are only a pitiful fifteen tanks left!" ”

"At least we have fifteen tanks left!" Rommel looked out the window at the wreckage of the British tanks and said, "And the tanks of the British...... It's all scrap metal! ”
