"General!" After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said to General Stryk: "If I were the commander of the British army, and I knew that the northern section would be the enemy's main direction of attack, I would not have left such an obvious hole in the northern section!" ”

"You mean ......" General Stryk couldn't help but show a cautious look on his face: "Could this be a trap set by the British?" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded: "I don't think the British will be so simple in their armament!" ”

This is Qin Chuan's cleverness.

In fact, this was not a trap of the British at all, but a purely mistake made by German scouts......

As mentioned before, the 21st Panzer Division was exhausted, and the scouts were no exception, and even the scouts were even more tired, because they were the eyes and ears of the main force all the way, and they had to reconnoiter everywhere when the troops were marching, resting, or fighting. That's when the scouts started deserting...... They were supposed to go as far as they could and find out where the enemy's firepower and lines were so that the commander could make a targeted battle plan.

However, fatigue made them unfamiliar with their mission, and when they reached Dir Abid, they were probably only strafed by a few machine guns, where it was probably just an infantry company on patrol from India, but German scouts identified it as the main force of the Indian army.

In fact, Dir Abid was empty, and the El Alamein Line was still 3 miles or 5 kilometers behind.

This mistake directly led to the German army's deviation in the development of the plan, and the choice of the wrong interspersed point.

Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't say this information directly, and at the same time, he couldn't directly suggest that Stryk send scouts to verify it...... It's all weird.

But Qin Chuan can use the "trap" as an excuse to make General Stryk suspicious.

"The sergeant may be right!" Colonel Slein thought for a moment and said, "The British have been fighting us for a long time, they should know our tactics, maybe they have long expected that we will be interspersed from the junction of the two armies?" ”

"I suggest scouting again!" Colonel Albridge said: "It's not bad for us, is it? ”

General Stryker nodded.

This really doesn't hurt, reconnaissance is about half an hour, at most it is the loss of a few scouts, but if this is indeed a trap as Qin Chuan said, and the 21st Armored Division rushes into it again, then the 21st Armored Division will suffer a lot of losses, and even the entire battle plan will be affected.

So the reconnaissance mission was quickly assigned.

In order not to make the British suspicious of prematurely revealing their strategic intentions, General Stryk also sent five reconnaissance platoons to reconnoiter in five different directions at the same time.

The speed of the reconnaissance platoon was very fast, they were riding on fast side three-wheeled and armored vehicles, and it was easy to advance stealthily when it was getting dark.

So more than twenty minutes later, the first piece of information was transmitted back to the command.

General Stryk held the telegram and couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise for a long time......

"The main force of the 4th Infantry Division of India is not in Dir Abid!" General Stryk said: "It's empty!" ”

The officers were also shocked by this information, and at the same time they all looked at Qin Chuan with admiration.

Colonel Slane was even more pleased, after all, this sergeant was his subordinate.

"Well done, Sergeant!" Colonel Slain complimented: "You have done your work again!" ”

The officers were even more surprised by the information that came next...... The main force of the 4th Indian Infantry Division turned out to be in Dirsiain.

"God!" General Stryk couldn't help but exclaim, "We almost hit our head first!" ”

General Stryk did not dare to slack off, and immediately contacted Rommel and reported the situation to him.

"What?" Rommel couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this: "Dill Abid is empty? ”

"Yes!" General Stryk replied: "Not only that, but our original breakthrough is exactly where the enemy's main forces are located!" ”

Rommel was silent for a while, then said, "So...... Find the right breakthrough, and everything else remains the same! ”

"Yes, General!" General Stryk replied with this in his mouth, but his heart was heavy.

"We don't have much time!" General Stryk said: "We must act immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to break through the line and attack Alexandria before dawn tomorrow!" ”

Qin Chuan knew what General Stryk meant.

This was not only because of Rommel's orders, but also because the German attack on Alexander had to be launched before dawn, otherwise...... As soon as it was dark, enemy fighters from Alexandria and Cairo airfields would indiscriminately bombard the names of the 21st Panzer Division that had broken through the defensive line, and at that time, the Germans would not be able to take Alexandria, and it would be a question of whether they could escape back.

"But...... We still don't know anything about the British defenses! Colonel Slein said, "We haven't even detected their junction yet!" ”

Everything was planned to be carried out when it was completely dark, but this unexpected situation disrupted the whole plan.

"General!" At this time, a staff officer with a telegram reported: "They have found the junction...... Should be in Carret! ”

"Why should it?" General Stryk said dissatisfiedly: "They have already made a mistake once, and they almost ruined the whole plan!" ”

"General!" The staff officer replied: "Because the British laid a large number of mines and searchlights on the front line, our scouts simply could not get close!" ”

"And how did they know it was Carret, the junction?" General Stryk asked.

"They bribed the Egyptians!" The staff officer replied: "It was the people who told the scouts about this!" ”

"God!" General Stryker couldn't help but roll his eyes, he would not gamble on the fate of the 21st Panzer Division just based on a piece of news from the mouths of the people.

Qin Chuan looked at the map and didn't speak, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "I think I know where their junction is!" ”

"What?" General Stryk and the officers couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan in confusion.

"Where is it?" General Stryk asked.

Qin Chuan pointed to a point on the map and said, "It's not in Carret, it's here...... Roissat Ridge! ”

Hearing this, General Stryk and the others all understood.

"Yes!" General Stryk couldn't help but nod his head and said, "If I were British, I would have put the junction there!" ”

The reason is simple, the Roissat ridge is an easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially not conducive to tank penetration.
