Kuhn was right, the British certainly wouldn't let it go so easily. Otherwise, Alexander, who was not well prepared and had no troops, would have opened the door to the German 21st Panzer Division.

Half an hour later, an explosion was heard in front of them, and at first the German soldiers thought it was a British shell, but when they passed a car that had been blown over, they realized that this was not the case......

"That's a mine!" Yakop was surprised and said: "Anti-tank mines! ”

"The British actually planted mines in their own defense zone?" The baker was a little surprised.

"They guessed our target was Alexander!" Qin Chuan said: "That's why we will lay mines on the way forward!" ”

Soon there was another loud "boom", and this time it was a "No. 3" tank that was blown up.

And this is not the most troublesome thing, ten minutes later, there was a sudden "rumbling" of motors in the darkness of the flanks, and the flares were lit up in the air and the guns were fired.

The German tanks immediately stopped to prepare for battle, but after a while, when the Germans fired flares in the direction from which the sound came, they realized that the British had escaped from the range of the tanks.

This happened several times in succession, and the British even opened fire outside the range and on a small scale, usually a dozen or twenty "Stuart" tanks.

But apparently the Germans could not catch up with these tanks either.

Qin Chuan knew what the British were doing, and they were trying their best to slow down the German army's march.

This was a very clever tactic, and General Auchinleck should have done it a long time ago...... the "Stuart" was inferior in defense and firepower to the "Three", but it was much faster than the "Three" tank, especially since it was armed with five machine guns, which was a nightmare for the German scouts.

In addition, the British army still had a large number of "Stuart" tanks, so it was necessary to use the mobility of the "Stuart" to fight guerrilla warfare with the German "No. 3" tank from the beginning.

But fortunately, the British did not do this, otherwise the German army is afraid that it would not have been able to get to this point at all.

"Sergeant!" After being harassed by the British several times in a row, Kuhn received a call: "The general asked you to go to his command car!" ”

This also meant that General Stryk couldn't do anything about it, and Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning, because he was also thinking about how to solve this problem but didn't find an answer.

The car stopped, and Kuhn walked to the rear of the car and signaled it back with fluorescent lights.

Originally, Qin Chuan thought that he would be picked up by jeep as before, but soon after, he was surprised to find a "Mammoto" command car parked next to the car...... Qin Chuan recognized that it was General Stryker's command vehicle.

"Sergeant!" As soon as Qin Chuan stepped into the command car, General Stryk asked, "I hope you have already thought of a way!" ”

"No, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "If you think of a way, I will call you as soon as possible!" ”

General Stryk couldn't help but sigh: "The British have become smarter, so we can't get to Alexandria before dawn, and even when we get to Alexander, our tanks have all been reimbursed!" ”

"Maybe we can send more scouts!" Colonel Slain advised: "So that we can know where the British are in ambush!" ”

"No!" General Stryk shook his head and said, "We have lost five teams of scouts, and our scouts are powerless against the enemy's 'Stuart' tanks. Unless we assign the 'Three' tank to the reconnaissance unit! ”

"Why don't we change course?" Colonel Albridge said: "The British 'Stuart' tanks were able to ambush us in our course because they knew that our target was Alexandria, and if we changed course, for example, turned to El Alamein......"

"It's also useless, Colonel!" General Stryk denied: "The reason is that the British tanks are much faster than ours, and when they perceive our turn, they can take advantage of their speed to lay an ambush ahead of us again!" And more importantly...... We're out of time! ”

There is no time to be the death of the German army, otherwise the German army can completely defeat the British troops stationed on the El Alamein Line piece by piece, and then chase the British deserters to Alexandria.

"General!" After thinking about it, Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said: "The British know that we are attacking Alexandria, and at the same time they send the main armored force to harass us, so El Alamein ......"

General Stryk couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "That's right, the army stationed at El Alamein is likely to have been emptied, or even if there are still troops stationed, it is only some African army with weak combat effectiveness!" ”

But then General Stryk sighed again: "But in the direction of El Alamein is the Italian 7th Infantry Division......"

Needless to say, why General Stryk sighed, the German generals did not dare to have too much hope for the Italian army.

But even so, General Stryk sent a telegram to Rommel explaining the situation and asking the Italian 7th Infantry Division to attack.

If the Italian 7th Infantry Division is able to capture El Alamein and advance with the 21st Panzer Division in two directions towards Alexander...... Then the British will be in a lost position.

This was originally a good plan, and even at this time the Italian 132nd Panzer Division had caught up, and it was not difficult for an armored division plus an infantry division to take down the empty Alamein, and it could even be said that it could be captured.

But after a long wait of more than half an hour, Rommel still came with disheartening news.

"They report that the main force of the British army is still in El Alamein!" Rommel said, "I know it's not true, but what can I do? I wish I could have an armored division, and then we could go straight in! ”

This telegram couldn't help but make everyone look at each other...... Although everyone guessed that this would be the case, it was a little unacceptable when it happened.

"They just need to show a little bit of courage!" General Stryk said angrily, "It only takes a little ...... They have a lot more shells than we can minesweep, and then just drive the tanks up, that's all...... We could win the war, but they won't do anything! ”

"Looks like we're going to have to find another way!" Colonel Albridge set his sights on Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan knew what Colonel Albridge meant, if he couldn't think of a suitable way, then what was waiting for the 21st Armored Division was likely to be annihilated, and even if it had achieved brilliant results before, it would not change anything...... Because another meaning of breaking through the defense line is to go deep alone.
