Time was pressing, the officers were just doing what they said, and Colonel Slane immediately assigned the task.

The first was the transfer of a battalion of troops from the defensive line, which, of course, was carried out in secret...... Otherwise, if the British found that the front line was constantly being reinforced, it would not only expose the German plan but also put the defense line in danger, because the British would most likely take advantage of this time to attack.

It is not difficult to secretly transfer the troops back...... In order to ensure the supply of ammunition on the defensive line, the Germans had to drive a large number of ammunition and food from the warehouses to the defensive line and then return empty.

Of course, it will not be an empty return at this time, there are rows of German soldiers sitting in it, one car can fit thirty, a dozen cars can load five hundred soldiers back in one go.

This also depends on the enclosed space of the British "Matador" car, in which the German soldiers hid in the canvas, and no one knew that there were so many people hiding inside.

When the soldiers returned to the port of Tobruk, they received some simple training, such as learning some Italian passwords, as well as some habits of the Italian army...... At this time, Alfredo's role was reflected, and the clothing of the entire army had to be inspected by him, and Qin Chuan believed that if he could pass the Alfredo level, he would be able to deceive the British intelligence officers.

To this, Werner said with a mockery: "God, now we want that Italian to teach us how to be a qualified soldier!" ”

The German soldiers nearby couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

"Shut up, soldier!" Kuhn lowered his voice and ordered Werner: "If this Italian is not happy, or if he wants to show a little flaw, do you know what that means? ”

"Yes, Ensign!" Werner didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Werner certainly knew what that meant, and even if he didn't think about the troops, for the sake of his own life, he should put aside his prejudices against Alfredo for the time being.

Then the troops, heavily armed in Italian form, set out, marching through Tobruk in a neat formation...... This made Qin Chuan feel a little incredible.

"I don't know if that's appropriate!" Qin Chuan said to Alfredo: "This is the battlefield, although Tobruk can be regarded as the second line, but the cannonballs will occasionally hit the city, allowing the team to march forward in formation......"

"If it were the Italian army, it would have done it, sergeant!" Alfredo replied.

Qin Chuan said "oh" and didn't speak, after all, Alfredo is an expert in this regard.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that other aspects of the Italian army may not be good, such as military quality, combat will, etc., to be exact, it is not impossible but outrageously bad...... Not long ago, Italy attacked Greece with several times the number of troops, and in just three weeks, Greece was repulsed, not only repulsed but also allowed Greece to counterattack into the Albanian region.

This result was unexpected, because Greece did not have its own military industry, and they even relied on the equipment of the Italian army captured by the British army from North Africa to transport them...... The British army needed American assistance for its own weapons after Dunkerke, and the equipment of the British army was not systematic with that of the Greek army, so it had to support Greece with equipment captured from the Italian army in the African theater.

But it was such a force that was completely disproportionate in strength and equipment that was able to defeat the Italian army.

However, this does not seem surprising, as Italy always does something similar:

After the surrender of France, Italy thought that the French government was easy to bully, so it crossed the French border and took advantage of the fire to rob, but did not expect that "the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse", and was driven out of the border by France in three or two strokes.

Italy thought that Britain was besieged by Germany and had no time to take care of the North African colonies, so it launched a war against Egypt, but it did not expect that Britain almost drove 230,000 Italian troops off the Mediterranean Sea with just a few random troops......

However, it was such a force, the ranks of which went very well...... There are even people who say that the Italian army ranks first in the world, because Mussolini is too formal, or it can be said that the Italians value face, so they demand that the queue be absolutely neat and mighty.

As a result, Italian officers at all levels, both from the point of view of due diligence and from the point of view of maintaining their official positions, could only concentrate on the form of drills rather than on the study of military strategy and tactics.

Then Tobruk's show began.

First there was a cheer, and several German soldiers excitedly waved their hats and shouted: "Reinforcements, thank God, our reinforcements are coming!" ”

Then a group of "Italian soldiers" appeared on the dock in a neat formation, and then walked out of the dock into the city amid cheers, and occasionally a few "Italian soldiers" waved to the surrounding people with a victorious smile, the officers shouted the command in fluent Italian, and occasionally a few Italian officers smoked cigarettes on the side of the road and complained: "Fuck the submarine, I'm almost suffocating in there!" ”

"But we arrived safely, didn't we?" Another officer replied: "Compared to those guys on the warship, we are lucky!" ”

"I don't think it's lucky!" As he spoke, the two officers laughed.

This is certainly not the end. More than half an hour later, another batch came, and then another......

This information soon reached Major General Evans.

Major General Evans couldn't help but turn pale: "What? Submarine?! ”

"Yes, Major General!" The staff officer replied: "At least 2,000 reinforcements have been brought in so far, and the number is still increasing......

"But how could they mobilize so many submarines in such a short period of time?" Maj. Gen. Evans asked.

"They don't need to mobilize too many submarines!" The staff officer replied: "It is the same batch of submarines, they will be transported into the port of Tobruk and then return to the sea to join the fleet...... So that they can keep sending reinforcements from the fleet to Tobruk without being intercepted by our air force! ”

Major General Evans half opened his mouth, and sighed for a long time, secretly saying that it was no wonder that the Italian army would retreat so easily, it turned out that they had a safer way to transport it.

"No way!" After thinking about it, Major General Evans stood up and said, "We can't just watch them replenish their forces and improve their defenses, and then we can't do it in a few hours if we want to capture Tobruk!" ”

"But...... Checkmate! The staff officer asked, "What can we do?" ”

Major General Evans sighed, he knew that the staff officer was right, the British army was helpless, because after last night's battle, only thirty-seven tanks of the 15th Panzer Division could be used normally, and these thirty-seven were all "Matilda" tanks with a high failure rate...... Trying to rely on them to attack the enemy's already replenished line of defense is almost like looking for death.

After thinking about it, Major General Evans finally decided to wait until the 7th Panzer Division arrived.
