In the end, Dürer did not stay to fight with Qin Chuan and others, because he did not believe that Qin Chuan and others would be able to hold back the British army.

Qin Chuan can understand this, sometimes it is not just a matter of sacrificing lives, if it is just sacrificing lives, Qin Chuan believes that most of the German soldiers will choose to stay and fight, but they think it is pointless...... Even the sacrifice of life could not stop the attack of the British, so the sacrifice became worthless.

After the war, Qin Chuan learned about last night's battle from the soldiers of the 15th Armored Division: the British army opened the road with shells and mine-sweeping tanks as usual, there was no accident at first, these were normal patterns, the British army sent the South African Army to walk in front and clear the mines with the mine-clearing tanks, and the whole demining process lasted five hours, and finally the British army finally cleared a few passages.

And at this time, the 15th Panzer Division was also ready on the second front.

At this time, the standard mode of defense of the German and Italian armies, the Italian army defended the first line, and the German armored division was on the second line, and where there was a gap, it was blocked.

Then, the British army really broke through the Italian defensive line, and the German 15th Panzer Division pounced as usual, thinking that it could block the British troops who broke through the defense line at the first time.

But what they didn't expect was that what appeared in front of them was a new tank that they had never seen before.

The tanks advanced slowly at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour, followed by groups of infantry, and when they saw the German tanks coming up, they immediately stopped and took aim, and then a bright flare hit the air and illuminated the surroundings white......

Six hundred meters, the British tanks opened fire.

German tanks and armored vehicles turned into a fireball in an instant.

German tanks and anti-tank guns also returned fire, but to the surprise of the German soldiers, their shells could not cause any damage when they hit the enemy tanks.

General Groh immediately realized that the British tank's performance was superior to that of the "No. 3", and that it would be difficult for the PAK38 anti-tank gun to penetrate it, so he ordered a charge at the enemy...... This approach was correct, because only by rushing closer to the German army could destroy the enemy's tanks, otherwise, even the tanks of both sides would not be suitable for night fighting, but the enemy had an impenetrable shield and the Germans did not, and the Germans would only be passively beaten.

However, Montgomery had been prepared for this for a long time, in fact, as early as when the British army was equipped with "General Grant" tanks, Montgomery strictly ordered the British army to "only fight from a distance and not close combat", so the British army already knew how to keep the enemy out of its range.

Rows of artillery shells bombarded the front intensively over the tanks, howitzers, tank guns, mortars, under the bright light of the flares, blasted out layers of fire walls and defensive lines, mixed with various types of bullets as dense as raindrops, the whole battlefield was like a pot of boiling water, and in the billowing smoke were rows of German soldiers and their tanks and armored vehicles.

Soon the Germans suffered heavy casualties and retreated.

The British army was not busy chasing, and advanced unhurriedly behind, still at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour.

This is Montgomery's tactic, step by step, steady and steady.

This tactic is conservative, but it is very useful...... Montgomery knew that if this continued, victory would sooner or later belong to the British, so he was not in a hurry, and in his rush to catch up, unexpected surprises might occur, such as letting the nimble Germans outflank them.

After the Germans stabilized their position, another charge was followed, and then another ...... The German 15th Panzer Division launched five charges, but each charge ended in a crushing defeat for the Germans, who lost more than 3,000 men and wounded more than 2,000.

You must know that the 15th Armored Division has only more than 10,000 people in the whole division, and the casualties are almost more than half, and it was overnight.

As a result, the 15th Panzer Division was completely demoralized, and it was even generally believed that there was no point in continuing to resist like this.

At this time, Colonel Slein received a call from General Gro.

"Colonel!" General Groh said, "I heard that you are stationed in Jhaso? ”

"Yes, General!" Colonel Slein replied: "Gehaso has our airfield, and if it is occupied by the British, it will put us in passivity!" ”

Colonel Slein was right, a lot of equipment could not be done by airdrop, not to mention that if the airport fell into the hands of the British, the British could use the airport to transport supplies, so the British would have a greater advantage.

"I know!" General Groh said, "But don't you know that there is an armored division in front of you?" It was the 7th Panzer Division of the British, they had a hundred and fifty tanks, new tanks, and we failed to hold them off several times......"

"I know, General!" Colonel Slein replied, "That's why we're here to defend it!" ”

"You're crazy!" General Groh said: "I think that an infantry regiment can stop them, listen, withdraw with my troops to Barris, and I will give you a chance to go to battle!" ”

"General!" Colonel Slain replied: "I think there is an opportunity in front of me!" ”

"It's an order!" General Groh involuntarily raised his voice.

"I'm sorry, General!" Colonel Slein replied: "General Rommel gave us autonomy!" ”

With that, Colonel Slain hung up the phone.

General Rommel did give autonomy to the First Infantry Corps, as he felt that General Groh had been frightened by the new tanks of the British, and was probably unfit to command the battle.

Of course, Rommel would not have done anything about the change of generals, which would only cause more commotion.

Therefore, Rommel needed the first corps to fight alone if possible, and not to be limited by the 15th Panzer Division, or General Tiguero.

But at the same time, Rommel did not know whether he was doing the right thing, because this was the first time that a bazooka was used on the battlefield, and the 1st Infantry Division had only been trained for a day...... No one knows if it will work on the battlefield.

Of course, the predecessor of the bazooka, the Iron Fist, was indeed used on the battlefield and played a huge role, but it was against the slow Matilda tank, and the attacking British army was still a small British army with no combat experience.

This left Rommel restless walking around the headquarters.

He knew what this battle meant...... If the bazookas can't stop the British attack, then nothing can stop them, and the only thing the Afrika Korps can do is retreat, retreat and retreat, and eventually be driven out to sea by the British.

At this time, Rommel really realized that Qin Chuan was right to advise him to give up the attack, and the British had this tank in their hands and launched an attack themselves......
