After interrogating the British prisoners, it turned out that the British army used Tengeten as a tank supply base and maintenance base.

In front of the "Matilda" tank, the existing tanks of the German and Italian armies were almost unable to compete with one of them, especially the Italian army, whose tanks could almost be described as "vulnerable" to the British army.

But as the saying goes, "every family has a scripture that is difficult to read", and the shortcomings of the "Matilda" tank also caused headaches for the British army, such as its speed, its fuel consumption...... These are all tolerable, the most unbearable is that its engine fails at every turn in the desert heat.

This makes it almost impossible for the "Matilda" tank to move an inch, just like after the British army defeated the Italian army before, the British army's "Matilda" tank drove all the way to break, and only a few dozen of more than 1,000 tanks could really drive to the front line to participate in the battle...... This was one of the reasons why the Italian army was able to calmly flee back to Tripoli in the pursuit of the British.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth transfer of "Matilda" tanks to the front line in wartime, the British army thought of a way: establish supply and maintenance bases along the line.

In this way, the "Matilda" tank can be repaired as it breaks, which can not only reduce the difficulty of logistical supply but also enhance the mobility of the "Matilda" tank, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Tengeteng was one such stronghold, and an important stronghold for the reinforcement of Mechile...... May Chile is a British military base, which is being attacked by the German army at this time, so the British army immediately transferred a group of tanks to Tengetener to be ready to reinforce Mei Chile at any time.

It's just that what the British didn't expect was that these tanks were captured by the Germans before they could be sent to Mechile.

This was soon confirmed by another aspect: the Germans found an underground warehouse in the city, where barrels of gasoline were stored, as well as ammunition and tank parts.

"Have any of us been trained in tanks?" Bazel asked.

Qin Chuan and the others were building fortifications at this time, and they couldn't help but stop their movements when they heard the words.

"No, I don't think so, Captain!" The baker replied.

When Bazel was gone, the baker shook his head and said, "Are they trying to get our soldiers to drive those tanks?" God, that's the tanks of the British, they need at least a few weeks of training to get used to it and function! ”

The baker is right, because the tank is operated by several people, and it needs to work closely together, otherwise it will just scurry around the battlefield like a headless fly.

"Anyway!" Werner shoveled a shovel of sand and threw it out of the trench, saying, "It's better to use it than not to use it, at least we have something to deal with the British tanks!" ”

The baker shook his head as he slapped the sand in front of him, "You mean ...... Are we going to pin our hopes on those eighteen captured British tanks? ”

The soldiers couldn't help but be silent for a while, everyone knew that the baker was right, not to mention that eighteen tanks were simply not enough to support Tenggtenger's defensive line, even if they could...... The British also had artillery, planes, and a large number of tanks, and they had enough power to break down the Tengeteng Line. All the German soldiers could do was dig through the loose sand under their feet...... They even had a hard time building trenches.

"Sergeant!" Kuhn walked to Qin Chuan's side, squatted down on the edge of the trench, and asked Qin Chuan in the trench: "I want to know how many enemies you killed in the battle just now?" ”

"I'm not sure, sir!" Qin Chuan replied: "Maybe there are eleven!" ”

Qin Chuan was telling the truth, because he didn't know how many people had been killed by the grenade he had thrown.

Kuhn nodded, then said, "Do you know you did something stupid? You almost hit yourself up. ”

"But...... Isn't that what the battlefield is all about? Qin Chuan replied: "I mean, there is danger everywhere!" ”

"You're right, but we can minimize the danger!" "You're a sniper, not an ordinary rifleman," Kuhn said...... Anytime you try to distance yourself from the enemy and not shoot head-to-face, you know? Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time! ”

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan replied.

Of course, what Kuhn said made sense, especially since Qin Chuan was still shooting at the British army behind the tank in front of the window...... Thinking about it now, it was basically fighting with the opponent, if it wasn't for Keller and Werner appearing in time, the current Qin Chuan is only afraid that he would be out of the game permanently.

"I think I should say thank you!" Qin Chuan said to Werner and Keller: "You saved me!" ”

"This ......" Keller blushed, his eyes shining with excitement, but as usual, he was still speechless.

"That's as it should be, sergeant!" Werner replied: "We are honored! ”

After a pause, Werner added: "And, even so, so what? Check it out here......"

Werner spread his hands as he spoke: "Soon this will be our grave!" ”

"Don't be so pessimistic, soldier!" Bazel happened to be passing by, and he said to Werner in a reproachful tone: "Our main force is beating the British, and we will win!" ”

That being said, everyone knows that the situation in Tenggtenger is not optimistic.

Sure enough, while the soldiers were talking, someone shouted: "British, here they are!" ”

As everyone followed the shouting, they saw a burst of smoke and dust billowing from the west, which looked like a sandstorm from a distance, but the difference was that there were more than 30 tanks driving side by side in front of the smoke, and those things like sandstorms were actually tank exhaust and dust......

"God!" Someone exclaimed: "They have at least a hundred tanks!" ”

This is actually expected, as soon as Tengeten is occupied by the Germans, the main British army stationed in May Chile is equivalent to being cut off from logistical supplies, which the British army will never allow, so of course they will send a strong enough force to recapture Tengeten and reopen the supply line.

However, when the soldiers saw the British troops, they were still frightened by their battle.

But that's only part of the story.

Before the soldiers could sigh more, there was a "rumbling" roar in the air, and then a black group of fighters and bombers appeared in the sky, at least hundreds, they lined up in formation, like geese, and flew neatly over Tenggtenger.

"Air raid alert!" Bazel jumped into the trench with a shout, and at the same time gave the order: "All hidden!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the bomber swooped down to the ground with a sharp whistle.
