Finally, the British army reluctantly retreated after being blown up more than a dozen tanks, and the "No. 3" tank even pursued for a while and destroyed five tanks until the British called in fighters to cover them.

The German soldiers couldn't help but let out a cheer.

Colonel Albridge called Qin Chuan at the first time: "Unbelievable, Sergeant, you really guessed right, we repelled them!" It was especially heartening that we lost only three tanks...... They were destroyed by enemy fighters! ”

"Glad to hear that, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.

Then came General Stryker's phone call.

"Sergeant, I think our entire army owes you a favor!" General Stryk said: "Because without your advice, I think the 15th Panzer Division would have ended up with us!" ”

"General!" Qin Chuan replied: "You don't owe me anything, because I also want to save my life!" ”

General Stryk on the other end of the line couldn't help but laugh.

"Then ......" When Qin Chuan hung up the phone, Bazel, who was listening next to him, asked, "This is your suggestion again?" ”

"Yes, Captain!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Wow!" The nearby German soldiers couldn't help but let out a shout of admiration, and then applauded in unison.

"Well done, Sergeant!" Bazel patted Qin Chuan's shoulder and said, "I suddenly found out that it was really lucky for us to have you in the army, do you say?" ”

Bazel turned his gaze to the soldiers.

"Of course, Captain!" The German soldiers were babbling:

"Many times, it was the sergeant's advice that led us to victory!"

"The sergeant saved us all!"

"I believe that if it weren't for the sergeant, we wouldn't be able to stand here now!"

……

Bazel nodded, "So, I think we should do our best to keep the sergeant safe, what do you think?" ”

"Of course!"

"I agree, to protect the sergeant is to protect ourselves!"

……

This made Qin Chuan a little crying and laughing, he didn't want to be the object of protection in the army, but it seemed that he couldn't help it...... Because the German soldiers also had their thoughts: for the sake of the troops and even for themselves, it was natural to try their best to ensure the safety of Qin Chuan.

Unwilling to be defeated, the British then launched another attack, but not surprisingly, they made no progress except to drop a few tanks in front of their positions again.

After that, the British did not dare to act rashly, because they only had thirty tanks left, which was not an overwhelming advantage for the Germans, who still had nineteen tanks (two more lost in the second battle), and even if they continued to fight like this...... It is likely that the British tanks are all gone, and the Germans still have a dozen tanks.

General Auchinleck couldn't believe that this result was true, he originally thought that with these tanks and air superiority, he could defeat the German army all the way and recapture Alexander by the way!

"How could such a thing happen?!" General Ochinleck blushed and asked, "Is it because we don't have enough tanks?" Or are they not performing well enough? ”

"Neither, General!" Major General Ritchie replied: "Because they had a clear victory against the German 15th Panzer Division, but ......"

"But what?" General Auchinleck was a little annoyed.

"Germans learn fast!" Rear Admiral Rich lamented: "They actually only fought a battle, and they discovered the weakness of the 'General Grant' tank......"

"Weakness?" General Auchinleck could not believe that this new American tank would have any weaknesses.

"Yes!" REAR ADMIRAL RICHIE NODDED AND REPLIED: "THE 37MM GUN OF THIS TANK IS HELPLESS AGAINST THE ENEMY'S ARMOR, AND THE 75MM GUN HAS A SMALL FIRING RANGE, AND THE GERMANS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS TO KEEP US COMPLETELY PASSIVE ON THE BATTLEFIELD!" ”

General Auchinlake couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

After thinking about it, General Ochinleck ordered: "Continue to keep in touch and order the troops not to rush to attack!" ”

"Yes, General!" Major General Rich replied.

General Auchinlake was clearly right...... The German supply lines had been cut off, or partially, by warplanes on the island of Malta.

The reason was that it was difficult for fighters to bomb at night, so the German supply lines were still open at night.

But this did not affect the imminent advantage of the British army.

On the one hand, this was due to the fact that the British army could lay mines to block its transport under the cover of the air force during the day.

On the other hand, even if the Italian army would send some supplies to Africa, it would obviously not be worth mentioning compared to the supplies of the British army.

So General Auchinlake was not worried that the battle would be lost...... In fact, after the German attack on the Soviet Union and the transfer of the air wing stationed on Sicily, General Auchinleck believed that the British would eventually win the battle.

Therefore, General Auchinlake did not think there was a need to rush for a while, and time was on the side of the British.

Rommel really felt the seriousness of the problem.

As soon as it was dark, the 21st Panzer Division withdrew to Alexandria in batches.

Although the 21st Panzer Division could be said to have been victorious, it was a defeat for the Germans as a whole, and even more so at a strategic level.

"We don't have the ability to attack anymore!" General Stryker calmly said to Rommel: "Unless we have more tanks and troops!" ”

"Yes, of course I do!" Rommel, who has always been optimistic and passionate, sat weakly in his chair at this time, stunned.

After a while, he said, "Do you know what that means?" ”

General Stryk and the others couldn't help but look at each other, in their eyes this is not a big deal, it is just a defeat, not to mention victory and defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this defeat is not worth mentioning compared to the victory of the German army.

It can even be said that the Germans were still glorious in defeat this time, because they successfully found the weakness of the British's new tanks, which means that as long as the Germans accumulate enough strength, they will be able to give the British army a good look.

However, Rommel's next words surprised them: "I didn't tell you about the island of Malta, where the British managed to deploy more than a hundred warplanes...... Our supply lines have been largely cut off! ”

"What?" General Stryk couldn't help but exclaim: "When?" ”

"A few days ago!" Rommel said: "The Führer launched an attack on the Soviet Union and transferred the 24th Air Wing to the Eastern Front, and the British took advantage of the situation to enter ......"

Suddenly, General Stryker understood why Rommel was in such a hurry to attack Port Said.
