The motor roared and the dust was flying.

Qin Chuan and the soldiers sat in the speeding car and rested with their eyes closed, but although it was resting, no one could sleep, not because of the nervousness of the upcoming battle...... By now that the battle has been fought, Qin Chuan has basically adapted to and can calmly face everything cruel in this world.

Even sometimes Qin Chuan would think that the world was supposed to be like this...... When primitive societies did not have human civilization, everything was not the survival of the fittest?

In fact, war is also a kind of survival of the fittest, but this survival of the fittest is not with sharp teeth and claws, but with planes, tanks and artillery.

Some things are like this, and when you don't think about it, you find it difficult to face, and when you think about it, you feel that it's just like that.

It was the unbearable heat in the carriage...... At this time, it was a daytime march, and the scorching sun shone on the canvas on the roof of the car like a fireball overhead, and the temperature was transmitted into the carriage through the canvas to make the temperature at least a few degrees higher than outside, and there were more than 30 people sitting densely in the carriage, so it was as hot as a steamer.

There was a faint roar of airplanes in the sky, and Kuhn, who was sitting at the back of the car, stood up and leaned out of the carriage, holding the railing with one hand and looking at the sky with the other hand holding up the binoculars, and then sat back in his seat and said, "Don't worry, our plane!" ”

"Our plane is finally looking a little bit!" The baker complained while wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with a towel: "From the beginning of the war to the present, I am afraid that the number of times I have seen them can be counted with ten fingers!" ”

"That's because they're bombing the island of Malta!" Kuhn explained: "That's our supply line, and if they didn't fight over Malta, we'd be afraid it would be difficult for us to get new tanks and supplies!" ”

As he spoke, Kuhn raised his head at one of the "No. 3" tanks following the car: "They are the key to our victory, aren't they?" ”

"Maybe!" The baker replied: "But where did all our planes go?" We have thousands of planes bombing the UK, so why can't there be a few more planes here to bomb the island of Malta and at the same time cooperate with our attack? ”

Kuhn couldn't answer the question, so he shrugged.

Qin Chuan knew the reason, Germany did still have planes, but they were put on the Eastern Front by Hitler...... When the Germans launched an attack on the Soviet Union, the first batch of troops was more than 3 million troops, 3,000 tanks and 2,000 aircraft.

To concentrate so many troops and equipment in the Soviet direction, of course, it is necessary to reduce the input of troops and equipment in other places, including North Africa.

This should be said to be one of Hitler's many mistakes, because he only needs to invest a little more in North Africa, even if it is only an airborne division or an infantry division, then North Africa is basically a victory, but Hitler, or Rommel's conceit, has turned the result in the opposite direction.

"Anti-aircraft concealment!" With a shout, everyone got busy.

Qin Chuan and the others jumped out of the carriage quickly and covered themselves with canvas, and the drivers and tank soldiers also camouflaged the cars and others at the first time, and the only thing that could not be covered up was the dust raised by the cars and tanks all the way.

But after waiting for more than ten minutes, no planes appeared in the sky, and after a while, I saw the signal soldier waving the flag, and then Kuhn breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Concealment revocation!" ”

No one complained, because they were used to it, or it could be said that the quality of the soldiers was dictated.

This is actually understandable, because now the Germans have the coordination of reconnaissance planes, and the reconnaissance planes detect British planes at a long distance, and it is estimated that their route will pass through the area where the 21st Panzer Division is located and issue a warning, as a result, the enemy planes may just turn around and turn around or fly in the other direction...... So the situation just came about.

This is a good thing for the troops, because there is nothing to lose in a few more times of anti-aircraft cover, and it is not the same if the position is discovered by the enemy's air power.

The convoy continued to move forward, and at some point, the roar of the engines heard the sound of gunfire and the whistling of airplanes, and the soldiers couldn't help but clench their guns, and the recruits began to check their equipment and even loaded......

"It's still far away!" Yakop frowned and trained the recruits: "At least half an hour, relax!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The recruits were a little embarrassed.

As it turned out, Jakop's judgment was correct, and as the convoy moved forward, the sound of gunfire became more and more obvious, and several British fighters flew over the convoy as if they wanted to dive and strafe, but were quickly driven away by several German fighters who arrived on the road...... Most of the German pilots were trained and fought all the way on the battlefield, and many of them even bombed Britain and fought against British pilots, so they had a lot of combat experience.

On the other hand, the British pilots in North Africa had little experience in air combat, and some were even pilots of the French government-in-exile...... After the surrender of France, some pilots were unwilling to be puppets of Germany and fled to England to join the British army.

Therefore, although the German fighters were not numerous, they often achieved local air superiority in the places where they appeared.

This was the first time that Qin Chuan had enjoyed the benefits of air superiority, as tanks and cars could freely drive in the desert without worrying about whether a large number of lethal fighter jets and bombers would suddenly appear overhead, and sometimes even receive fire assistance from the air.

And the British side was clearly not so pleasant.

Because they hadn't even discovered the existence of the 21st Panzer Division before, otherwise they should have been bombed by swarms or troops rushed to meet them, but nothing had happened until now.

Qin Chuan guessed correctly, General Ochinleck received a report from the Air Force that a large number of enemy armored units had been found on the Matru flank.

"It can't be!" General Auchinleck said: "The Germans have no other armoured units, their 21st Panzer Division is in Sidioma, and the 15th Panzer Division is in front of us!" Are you wrong and mistaken our armored forces for the enemy? ”

"I'm sure, General!" The pilot reported: "Because they have the Iron Cross on their tank!" ”

After thinking about it, Ochinlek sat back in his chair and said dejectedly, "It's the 21st Armored Division...... We have been deceived by them again! ”

Ochinlake was indeed deceived.

He would have thought that the 21st Panzer Division was still in Sidioma because Sidioma had many tank models, and some of them were still moving.
