The troops then split into two parts:

One part is to start from the breach, expand the results along both flanks of the defensive line, and occupy the entire defensive line.

This was necessary, because it was foreseeable that in the near future the main British reinforcements from the direction of Mechile would arrive in Tobruk, and if the Germans had not completely occupied the defensive line and built up the defenses, the British could easily break through and crush the Germans.

Colonel Slein was entrusted to the 2nd and 3rd Battalions in this regard, and this task was not difficult...... At this time, the German army attacked other British troops from within the defensive line, and the British engineering units, which had little will to resist, were even more vulnerable.

This was also fully proved by the facts: before the Germans arrived, the British abandoned their positions and fled into nowhere to be found...... So the Germans were not so much attacking as receiving.

The other part is a direct route to the port of Tobruk.

This was the heart of the war, as it was there that supplies were stored from Egypt and the British from the colonies, and it was the supplies that mattered in the desert warfare...... It should be said that supplies are important in any war, and this is especially true in desert warfare. For example, if there is no water, there is no need to fight at all in the desert, either die of thirst or surrender, there is no third possibility.

This is amply illustrated by the fact that Rommel's two attacks on El Alamein ended in failure.

In the First Battle of El Alamein, Rommel's failure to capture the port of Tobruk led to the need for German logistical supplies to be transported from the other side of the desert, and finally the supply problems had to be lost.

Although the Second Battle of El Alamein captured the port of Tobruk, because the German army shifted its strategic focus to the Eastern Front to attack the Soviet Union (note: the Germans attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941, so the air power invested in North Africa was shifted to the Soviet direction), which led to the British army having absolute air superiority in the Mediterranean Sea and blockading the Mediterranean Sea with warplanes and warships...... This made the German occupation of the port of Tobruk meaningless.

However, if the First Battle of El Alamein the Germans had captured the port of Tobruk...... So what happens?

With this question in mind, Qin Chuan and the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Battalion, led by Colonel Slain, rushed towards Tobruk Harbor in captured cars and armored vehicles.

As for the captured tanks...... The speed of that thing was too slow, the top speed was 24 kilometers per hour, and the actual speed of 10 kilometers per hour was about the same, which was really not in line with the appetite of the German army for speed and efficiency, so they simply left them near the defense line for defense.

The port of Tobruk was in chaos, and Qinchuan saw a number of old-fashioned cruise ships in the 20th century parked near the port, and the huge chimneys were like craters constantly emitting black smoke outward, and from time to time there was a long whistle, which seemed to urge the people on the shore to board the ship quickly.

But they could no longer go, because the German convoy had already rushed into the crowd and screamed.

Colonel Slain was riding in a British Beaverette light armored reconnaissance vehicle, which was open, almost a layer of armor on top of the car.

Colonel Slain, who was sitting in it, held an MP40 and fired a string of bullets into the sky, which only frightened the people on the dock to scream and hide in all directions.

The cars and armored cars that followed one after another also drove up and stopped around, and the soldiers jumped out of the car skillfully and set up their guns based on the car and armored car, Qin Chuan chose to hide under the car tires, because he had seen a video in Hyundai and knew that the most difficult thing to break through on the car was actually the car tires...... As for car doors and the like, they can only stop bullets on TV and movies.

"Gentlemen!" Colonel Slain shouted around with a loudspeaker: "I am honored to tell you that the port of Tobruk has been occupied by us, and everything here is under my control, believe me, as long as I do what I say, I will guarantee your safety and interests......"

It was only then that Qin Chuan discovered that most of the "passengers" who were going to board the ship were wounded soldiers.

Come to think of it, the wounded British soldiers on the front line would be sent to Tobruk and then transported back to Egypt or the British colonies by cruise ship to recuperate. They were, of course, accompanied by nurses, medics, and locals who were presumably hired by the British to work as porters.

Qin Chuan thought that the wounded soldiers were harmless, but soon noticed that an officer lying on a stretcher took out a pistol and pointed it at Colonel Slane under the white sheet......

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

A bullet fired from Qin Chuan's chamber accurately hit the British officer's face...... The bullet passed through his eye and exited the other end, which made his eye suddenly turn into a bloody hole, and the hand holding the gun hung limply, and the pistol fell to the ground.

The screams rang out again, and Colonel Slain looked back at Qin Chuan approvingly, and then continued with a loudspeaker: "You have all seen that my soldiers are capable of solving all dangers, so I advise you not to make unnecessary compensation, that will not be a wise choice!" ”

Perhaps he was shocked by Qin Chuan's gun, and then all the wounded British soldiers and medical guards were very obedient, and even those giant cruise ships were captured by the Germans...... The Germans took control of their cables, and they knew they could not escape.

Colonel Slein wasted no time and led the Germans straight to the warehouse in the port...... Prior to this, Colonel Slein had done some intelligence work and knew the location of these warehouses.

These warehouses were originally guarded by British troops, but they did not know where they had gone, and later checked the British prisoners to find out that many of them were mixed with the wounded British soldiers and tried to escape by boat.

They didn't even have the courage to blow up the fuel and munitions in the warehouses before leaving, because they feared retaliation from the Germans...... This was in stark contrast to the fact that the Germans could easily leave a unit behind in Tengetener for the "final mission".

After the sled opened the door of the warehouse, everyone was stunned by what they saw, the warehouse had everything in the warehouse, food, ammunition, machine guns, artillery, ...... There were also barrels of fuel stacked like a hill.

What's more, all these materials are stored in underground warehouses, which means that there is no need to worry about the bombing of enemy fighters.

"Soldiers!" Colonel Slain excitedly raised his hands and shouted, "We are the richest people in this land!" ”

The German soldiers couldn't help but burst into cheers.

Colonel Slein was right, the wealth in the desert was neither gold nor silver, but the supplies in these warehouses.
