Colonel Colin was soon informed.

But he was just stunned, and then nodded: "So to speak, the firing range of the new anti-tank equipment of the Germans is more than a hundred meters, and not thirty meters as originally estimated!" ”

Colonel Colin felt that this was normal, just like the British army was equipped with firepower without the knowledge of the Germans, and the defense of the "Sherman" tank completely surpassed the German army, of course, the Germans would have some equipment that the British did not know.

"That's why the Germans, this infantry regiment, are in front of us!" Colonel Colin said.

The staff officer could not help but feel a little ashamed of this, and not long ago he had thought that Colonel Colin was making a fuss, and now it seemed that his fears were justified.

"Colonel, what are we going to do?" The staff officer asked.

The 7th Panzer Brigade had 90 tanks, 70 of which were "Shermans", but 50 of them had already been destroyed by the Germans on the battlefield just now...... If the Germans can easily destroy the "Sherman" tank, then in fact, the tank will look like paper paste in front of them.

"Report the situation to General Bolton!" Colonel Colin said: "We need the support of the 4th Armored Brigade!" ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

Major General Bolton was not so calm when he received Colonel Colin's report, and he called Colonel Colin as soon as possible.

"What's the situation?" Major General Bolton asked: "How could you suffer such heavy losses in front of an infantry regiment?" ”

"We underestimated the Germans, General!" Colonel Colin replied: "Perhaps you should inform General Montgomery of this, the Germans have a new anti-tank weapon in their hands, its performance is beyond our imagination, what we now know is that it can penetrate the 'Sherman' at least a hundred meters away, and more importantly, it is a single weapon!" ”

"Individual weapons? Penetrate 'Sherman' from a hundred meters away? Major General Bolton was taken aback, he knew what that meant, and it meant that almost all the tanks in the British army were in ruins.

After a pause, Major General Bolton asked again: "How are you going to fight this battle?" ”

"Standing in our way is an infantry regiment of the enemy!" Colonel Colin said: "And we have not encountered this anti-tank weapon in the previous confrontation with the German 15th Panzer Division, so I guess...... This anti-tank weapon of the Germans was urgently equipped, and only this infantry regiment had it. Therefore, I think we should concentrate our forces to annihilate this infantry regiment! ”

"You mean to bring in the 4th Armored Brigade to reinforce you?"

"Yes!" Colonel Colin said: "The 4th Panzer Brigade was divided into two parts in regimental units, outflanking the right flank and rear of this Gehaso. If you can, tell Colonel Abt to try to keep our tanks two hundred meters away from the enemy, so that they can't get close to us and the new anti-tank equipment can't do anything! ”

Major General Bolton nodded and replied, "That's it, Colonel, and I'll see if I can send another artillery battalion to reinforce you!" ”

This plan of Colonel Colin certainly made sense, the disadvantage of the infantry regiment was that it was slow to maneuver, and its firepower and defense were far inferior to that of armored units, especially in long-range fire.

If a British armored division surrounded the German 1st Army, and the tanks and artillery bombarded it out of the range of the bazookas, then the 1st Division would have no choice but to be bombed and would have no power to fight back.

This would not have happened in the first place, because the Germans were supposed to be defending a line of defense, that is, there were other units on either side of the First Formation.

But now......

Both the Italian and German armies had been crushed by the British, so the British 4th Panzer Brigade could easily go around the rear of the 1st Corps and surround it.

Of course, the penetration of the British armored units was soon detected by German reconnaissance planes and informed Colonel Slein.

"Wow!" The pilot, reporting to Colonel Slain, said: "Colonel, the British really look up to you, they fight you with a whole armored division, and you can be proud of it!" ”

"I'd rather leave this pride to you!" Colonel Slane replied.

The pilot couldn't help but laugh.

"God, a whole armored division!" The staff officer said.

Colonel Slain didn't know what to do with it, so he ran out of the headquarters along the trench with his staff officers and guards, and when he saw Bazel, he asked, "Where is the second lieutenant?" ”

"Who knows!" Bazel replied: "He always hides in places that others don't know!" ”

"Find him!" Colonel Slein ordered.

"Yes, Colonel!" Bazel said as the herald waved his small flag backwards.

This was the way to contact Qin Chuan, so Qin Chuan got up from a crater, ran in a zigzag shape, and then jumped into the trench.

"We're in trouble!" Without saying a word, Colonel Slain took out the map and put it on the ground: "Two armored regiments of the enemy, respectively from this, this ...... Outflank our flanks and rear! ”

"How much time do we have?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Less than an hour!" Colonel Slane replied: "The reconnaissance opportunity tells us the location of the enemy at the right time!" ”

"Less than an hour ......," Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

This situation is also what Qin Chuan is worried about, the strength of the First Infantry Corps is too weak.

It's fine if it's on some other terrain, such as high ground or a road bridge...... None of these terrains are conducive to the operation of mechanized troops.

But now it is in the desert, an empty desert, and the only thing the first corps can rely on is this hill in front of them, if they leave this hill...... The enemy was able to hit the Germans with artillery fire even from a few kilometers away, and the Germans were helpless against them.

"We should retreat!" The staff officer said: "Together with the 15th Panzer Division!" ”

"It's too late!" Colonel Slain shook his head and said: "We are dragged by the enemy's 7th Armored Brigade, and we don't have cars either!" ”

The 1st Corps arrived by plane directly from Crete, without any means of transport, not even artillery.

Of course, it was impossible to retreat by plane, and the British could easily block the Jehaso airfield with artillery.

"We need the 15th Panzer Division!" Qin Chuan said: "Let them organize to block these two armored regiments!" ”

"But they can't stop it!" Colonel Slane said: "They don't have anything in their hands that can destroy the enemy's new tank!" ”

"We can drop bazookas to them!" Qin Chuan said.

"No!" Colonel Slane replied, "We only got the bazookas yesterday, and all three hundred bazookas are in our possession!" ”

"But the British don't know that!" Qin Chuan said.

Colonel Slane couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan in a daze.
