Neville sent some soldiers carrying stretchers to treat the wounded of the British army, while the medical vehicles following behind the tank assault group also drove up quickly, and some German infantry quickly cleared several passages so that the tanks could pass through, and it was the logistics department's business to treat the enemy's wounded, and Neville's task was to move forward! Go Further!!

Neville, with more than 200 Type 4 tanks and countless armored vehicles, after breaking through the first line of defense of the British army, quickly crushed the second and third lines of defense, and the second and third lines of defense of the British army were also submerged by the torrent of German steel, leaving behind only countless corpses of British soldiers, and the broken British flags in the breeze miserably recounted the tragedy of the British army.

Neville only cares about the assault, and the task of expanding the breakthrough is naturally done by someone, which is not something that Neville, the commander of the armored regiment, can arrange.

At this time, the tank assault group led by Neville has been very serious from its departure to the present, and the No. 4 tank is also a tiger that drinks oil, and the gasoline consumption is also very large.

A tank is not a transport vehicle, so the fuel consumption of a tank is not calculated in terms of 100 kilometers. Tanks are high-powered vehicles, and sometimes there are many opportunities to start in place (such as observation and communication), and they do not go for a kilometer, but the engine also consumes a lot of fuel.

And the tank is not like the car basically takes the road, and most of them are dirt roads and mountain roads, so the consumption of roads, dirt roads, mountain roads, and various roads are different, and the difference is very large, such as the same fuel consumption, you can walk 500 kilometers by road, you can only walk 400 kilometers by dirt road, and you can only walk 300 kilometers by mountain road, so it is unscientific to calculate fuel consumption by 100 kilometers.

The fuel consumption of different engines and engines with different horsepower is different, usually the fuel consumption of large horsepower is large, and the fuel consumption of gas turbines is greater than that of diesel engines, (the fuel consumption of the M1A2 tank of the US army has long been the highest in the world, which has seriously affected combat operations.)

In 2003, the U.S. army attacked Iraq, because there was not enough fuel, and the war stopped for a week), and the fuel consumption of the tank was accurately measured by the maximum fuel supply of the engine in grams per kilowatt and hour.

The fuel consumption of the Type IV is 237 liters per hour, and the Type IV has a 500-liter fuel tank inside, which can run for more than 5 hours at full power, while the speed of the Type IV is 60 kilometers on the road and 50 kilometers off-road.

The sad journey of the fourth, the cruising distance of more than 300 kilometers per kilometer, the cross-country cruising distance of more than 250 kilometers, the German arrangement is 200 kilometers must be replenished with fuel and ammunition, after breaking through the third line of defense, the British army began to retreat, although there is bombing by the air force, but the British troops are fleeing all over the mountains, and the role of the aircraft is greatly reduced.

The tanks that played a decisive role ran out of fuel at the critical moment, and Neville could only watch countless British troops rout, although they could not completely eliminate a single British infantry division defending here, at least they lost all their heavy weapons and a large number of personnel.

Judging from the corpses of the British troops on the battlefield, their attrition was at least 30 percent, and the British troops were in front of the German tanks and held out until the three lines of defense were broken through before collapsing, which was already a very good force.

Neville, who had no choice, had to send a search force to come forward to stand on guard, and then wait for the logistics detachment behind to come up to replenish fuel and ammunition, of course, meals can also be solved together, refueling the tank is not something that can be done in a few minutes, and there is also ammunition replenishment, the shells must be carefully passed into the tank from the outside one by one, and then put into the ammunition rack, not an hour to finish.

The whole replenishment process was busy and orderly, and the planes in the air were also cruising in the air, and the German tanks had special "nannies" in the air to serve them, so they did not have to worry about being attacked by the enemy's planes.

It is not the duty of the 4th Air Division to fight for air supremacy over the entire battlefield, their duty is to be the "nanny" of their own tanks. Amini also got a nickname "Big Nanny" because of this, which made Amini, who likes to fly planes, very unhappy.

An hour later, Neville's tank assault had finally finished all the replenishment, and all the Germans were eating in twos and threes, when suddenly the messenger found Neville, who was eating, and said eagerly:

"Regiment commander, regiment commander, the Air Force has reported that a large number of British cavalry are coming to us, about two cavalry brigades."

"Quick, sound the battle alarm and prepare for battle."

Neville threw away what he was holding and ran towards his tank, "Quick, get ready to fight." ”

"Click...... "The sound of horses' hooves can be clearly felt on the ground, and only a large number of horses, at such a distance, can cause such an effect.......

"Whoa...... Wow oh oh ......"

The poignant battle alarm sounded, and countless Germans who were eating threw away their things and rushed to their combat posts, and the alarm was an order.

Neville got into his tank, picked up the microphone and began to give orders:

"Attention of all personnel, at nine o'clock there is a large number of British cavalry units rushing in, a distance of ten kilometers, all tanks in a fan, advancing at a constant speed of thirty kilometers, armored vehicles attacking in a roundabout."

"Attention of all personnel, at nine o'clock there is a large number of British cavalry units rushing in, a distance of ten kilometers, all tanks in a fan, advancing at a constant speed of thirty kilometers, armored vehicles attacking in a roundabout."

In 1939, Commander-in-Chief Montgomery of the Nile Army Group urgently sent two of his Egyptian cavalry brigades to support the first line after receiving a telegram from the British Fifth Infantry Division asking for help.

This is the only mobile force in Montgomery's hands, and now the entire British army, several directions have been fiercely attacked by the Germans, the British army is passive everywhere on defense, everywhere is asking for reinforcements, Montgomery after weighing the pros and cons, decided to use two Egyptian cavalry brigades to reinforce the Fifth Infantry Division.

What Montgomery did not expect was that the Fifth Infantry Division was facing the most advanced German armored forces, and the air force was deployed separately, and the German armored forces composed of more than 600 tanks in the three armored divisions were already waiting for the enemy.

Neville (then German colonel) was having a meal like the rest of the soldiers, the panzers were resting, some were having breakfast, some were freshening up, but most were ready for the new battle.

The terrible battle alarm made everyone rush to the ground, leaving countless things on the ground, including food, mirrors, razors, all of which were discarded by the Germans who rushed to the combat post, and soon the real German tank assault group was completed, roaring and rushing out, and the dust raised by the entire tank cluster covered the sky.

"Look to the east," a soldier shouted, and the eyes of the armored soldiers converged to the east, and Neville vaguely saw a large group of men and horses moving in the dusty place to the east, and he quickly saw with his telescope a large group of cavalry rushing towards it in the distance, judging by their clothing, it was a British cavalry wrapped around the British army's uniform.
