Rommel was right when he said that for a tank to become combat-ready, it is not just a tank and a soldier, it also needs to be driven by a trained tank crew.

And since the tank also requires close coordination between its members, it requires at least a few weeks of training. Otherwise, it will be, as Rommel said: "The tank piloted by a novice is vulnerable".

No one could argue with this, and a new offensive began that night.

Fortunately, because the 21st Panzer Division had only twenty-four "No. 3" tanks left, and most of them were faulty in one way or another, the main attack was assigned to the 15th Panzer Division, which still had forty tanks.

Fearing harassment by the British "Stuart", Rommel incorporated Major Daniel's remaining eight "Stuart" into the 15th Panzer Division...... Its intention is self-evident, in order to fight another "infiltration war" at night.

In addition, the Italian 132nd Ariette Panzer Division was also used as part of the main attacking force.

This "ram" has not fought a battle until now...... To be exact, they did not take the initiative to attack, and they played some role in the defense of Tobruk, so they can be regarded as participating in the war.

Thus, this Italian panzer division had almost a full complement of one and a half hundred tanks...... In terms of numbers alone, the Italian Panzer Division can be said to be the most powerful Panzer Division in the German and Italian armies.

Rommel believed that at this time, the British army and the German army were exhausted from each other, and the Italian army, although its combat effectiveness was not satisfactory, it might become the last straw that broke the camel's back, so he still had expectations for the Italian division.

The 21st Panzer Division followed the two main Panzer Divisions as reserves.

As for the two Italian infantry divisions, they were assigned to garrison Alexandria, as usual, while protecting and assisting the logistics units in transporting supplies.

The tasks of the Italian infantry division were the envy of many German soldiers.

"I don't understand!" Huddled in the corner of the car and wrapped in a sheet like a beggar, Werner complained: "We're here to help the Italians fight, aren't we?" Why does it look like they are helping us in the war! ”

Then Werner noticed the embarrassed Alfredo, so he added: "Sorry, Alfredo, I'm not targeting you!" ”

"No, it's okay!" Alfredo replied: "Actually, I also think it's unfair, we are on the march and fighting in front of the enemy's aircraft and artillery, which can kill at any moment, while they can enjoy the supplies in the warehouses that we have captured with our lives by the sea breeze by the beach......"

"Forget about that!" The baker interjected: "This is the reality, we have to do it if we want to win, if we swap roles with the Italian army...... Then we will not be able to see the Italian infantry divisions! ”

"Yes, they have already been annihilated by the Germans!" Said one of the recruits.

"Annihilation?" The baker smiled and replied, "No, no, they are still enjoying the wine and the sea breeze, but on the British side!" ”

"Coax", and the carriage burst into laughter.

Alfredo smiled bitterly and said, "There is another possibility, that is, you have to go to Tripoli to find them!" ”

The German soldiers laughed even more.

The soldiers were right, and it was a cruel fact that the Italian army was always given a safe and easy task because it could not fight...... Because everyone knows that they can't do those dangerous and difficult tasks.

And the German soldiers had to fight endlessly in this desert, that is, those who can work harder.

Qin Chuan looked at the German soldiers in the carriage, all of them were unkempt, and there was an unbearable smell of sweat on their bodies, and some of them even had their military uniforms torn to the surface, if it weren't for the guns in their hands, not because of the perseverance in their eyes, they would really treat them as refugees.

"Hey!" After a pause, Werner asked, "What do you think about the morning?" ”

"What morning?" The baker asked.

Werner didn't answer, just raised his head in the direction of Jakop, so everyone knew...... Werner was referring to the news broadcast on the Jakop radio.

"I heard that the USSR had a lot of troops!" "There are also a lot of tanks and planes!" ”

"I think ......," said the baker, "Austria, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Yugoslavia, etc., we did a good job, especially France, which is a bit exaggerated now!" ”

"Hey!" Kuhn interjected: "I'll just assume I didn't hear it!" ”

"Ensign!" The baker smiled, "I won't care, because everyone doesn't know how long they can live, do they?" ”

The baker's words are right, the pressure on the soldiers is too great, they need to find something to vent, and at the same time, because at this time, the battlefield, the battlefield that can be killed at any time, so they don't need to care if they are discussing what is wrong with the Führer.

"Okay!" Kuhn replied, "I'm asleep!" ”

As he spoke, he tightened the blanket draped over his body, lowered the brim of his hat to cover his eyes, and leaned against the car.

"Big Bear, do you have any thoughts on this?" Timo Werner reached out and kicked the big bear sitting across from him.

"Me?" Big Bear replied with a smile: "I just hope that I can live safely and then go home to reunite with my relatives!" ”

"You can't wait to go back to meet your fiancée!" Werner's words caused a burst of laughter from the soldiers.

"What do you think, sergeant?" After laughing for a while, the baker turned his gaze to Qin Chuan: "Many people believe that you are the smartest person in the army, and you seem to know everything!" ”

"So we want to know what you think?" Yakop added.

"What thoughts?" Qin Chuan asked knowingly.

He didn't want to deceive these simple comrades, but he couldn't tell the truth.

"The idea of attacking the USSR!" The baker didn't plan to let Qin Chuan go so easily.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said, "I think...... The USSR was too far away from us, it's not something we need to worry about, and at the same time it's useless to worry, isn't it? ”

"And what do you think we need to worry about?" Werner asked: "British?" They are already being driven down the Mediterranean by us! ”

"No!" Qin Chuan replied: "What we need to worry about more are the Americans!" ”

The German soldiers were stunned.

The baker nodded and said, "Yes, the British will drag the Americans into the war!" ”

"I'm not worried about the Americans!" "I've heard that they are very much against joining this war," said Werner, "and it seems to me why they should stay at home and come to this hellish place. ”

Werner was right, but Qin Chuan knew that this was not the case.
