"I won!" Kuhn said: "Six nine rings, do you have to compare again?" ”

"How did you do that?" Qin Chuan asked.

Kuhn didn't speak, he pressed a magazine for his rifle, then took out another bullet from the magazine bag, raised it in front of Qin Chuan, and pushed it into the chamber...... So Qin Chuan understood that the K98K can actually be loaded with six rounds of ammunition at a time instead of five, which is quite important for a sniper, especially the "Enfield" rifle with a capacity of ten rounds in the hands of the British army.

Qin Chuan was convinced of the loss, but he didn't feel frustrated because he lost the game, but added a little more confidence...... If the K98K has a capacity of six rounds, there is not such a big gap compared to the ten-round "Enfield".

The food for these two days was bread and baked potatoes as usual, and Qin Chuan was already a little used to eating it for so many days...... It's just that the lack of supplies is always half-starved.

It was not until the evening of the next day that good news came: a supply convoy had arrived in Agdabiya.

This is the blessing of the Italian army, which had captured the port of Brega ten hours earlier.

One of the characteristics of the North African battlefield was that both the British and the German and Italian armies needed to be supplied from outside the African theater...... Africa is so poor that the people simply cannot support the supply of a force of more than 100,000 people, in addition to ammunition, equipment, fuel, etc., which need to be transported from other places.

The British were transported from his other colony, India, through the Indian Ocean across the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea, and then through the Suez Canal under their control, to the front line, and sometimes risked transportation from the British mainland via the Mediterranean, as India could not provide all the equipment and fighters needed by the British.

Of course, the German and Italian troops were transported from Italy across the Mediterranean to Libya.

This makes the occupation of coastal ports very important for both the enemy and the enemy...... For example, before the capture of the port of Brega, German and Italian supplies had to be transported to the port of Sirte and even further to Tripoli, and then from Tripoli or Sirte to the front line by car.

The point is that these "hundreds of miles" or "hundreds of miles" of the desert are all the way, and the convoy will consume a lot of water and fuel on the way to transport, and it will be bombed by British bombers at any time.

The capture of the port of Brega was different: the supply fleet could be unloaded directly at the port of Brega, and the convoy could reach Agdabia by transporting only a few dozen miles, which not only shortened the distance by a great deal of distance, but also reduced the consumption of the transport and the risk of being bombed.

This made the dinner more bee dense and jam, and the bread was still double the usual portion, and even when Qin Chuan and the others were gobbling it up, the soldiers of the cooking squad roasted fat sausages on the fire...... Qin Chuan's resistance to sausages has disappeared, not why, just for hunger.

Therefore, Qin Chuan felt that those who couldn't eat or were picky eaters for some reason were because they had never been hungry, and they had really tasted the taste of starvation, and they might even starve to death...... Maybe even human flesh can't refuse.

It's a sad human nature, but it's also a bloody reality.

"Those Italians have finally done something!" The bear munched on the sausage and said indistinctly, "They can actually occupy Port Brega......

"Do you really think they defeated the British?" The baker responded: "After Agdabia is occupied by us, the British in Port Brega will either retreat or will only be surrounded by us!" ”

"You mean......" Big Bear wiped the oil from his mouth, "You mean that Port Brega was abandoned by the British?" But that's not what the Italians say......"

Before that, Big Bear talked with the Italians of the transport convoy.

"Oh, well!" Werner laughed: "Some of us finally believe in the Italians!" ”

With a coax, the German soldiers burst into laughter.

Only Kuhn slowly tore the bread in his hand and put it in his mouth piece by piece.

When everyone had finished laughing, Kuhn said, "Rest tonight and get ready to go!" ”

"Go?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and they all looked at Kuhn.

Only Qin Chuan understood what Kuhn meant...... The Germans stopped at Agdabia because of lack of supplies, and now that a closer supply line has been opened and supplies are sufficient, then it is time to continue the pursuit of the British.

Even Qin Chuan knew one thing: the British army had retreated for two days, and if the Germans wanted to catch up with the British army, they would have to take a shortcut......

Just look at the map and you'll see Cyrenaica ahead, with its coastline making an almost S-shaped bend in the Mediterranean.

As mentioned earlier, most troops in the African theater march close to the coastline, not only because the coastline has a single road, the "Esplanade", but also because being close to the coastline means that it is easier to get supplies.

This was true of the German and Italian armies, as well as of the British army.

The British retreated along the "S-shaped" coastline, and the Germans lagged behind for two days if they still wanted to catch up with the British...... Of course, they can't follow their butts along the coastline as well, the Germans have to go in a straight line, that is, a short route.

But it's easy to say that walking in a straight line means going deep into the heart of the desert away from the coastline where supplies can be obtained.

As soon as he thought that the entire army was about to enter the desert where there was no one and thousands of miles of red land, Qin Chuan felt a chill...... He would rather die of war or starve than die of thirst.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the severed palm Bazel to let the platoon go to the company headquarters to receive equipment and supplies...... The supplies consisted of thirty rounds of fresh ammunition, five days' worth of bread and a few baked potatoes, as well as a water bottle.

Kettle...... You must know that every soldier has a water bottle on him, but now he has an extra water bottle.

Needless to say, what this is used for is to let the soldiers bring more water and prepare to go deep into the desert.

So the atmosphere immediately became oppressive.

The soldiers have been fighting in the desert for a while, and they all know what it is like to go deep into the desert, and it is not a kettle that can solve the problem by distributing an extra kettle, but I am afraid that it will not take a day to drink the water.

After a long time, Werner said: "I wish we had enough cars so we could bring enough water and food!" ”

"We don't have many cars!" The baker said, "Besides, the car can't save us...... It requires fuel and water of its own, is prone to breakdowns at high temperatures, and even more serious can expose us to British aircraft! ”

So the soldiers fell silent, and they all knew that the baker was right.

Only Kuhn sat by the fire with an unchanging face, tearing the bread unhurriedly and stuffing it into his mouth one by one.
