"What supply are you talking about?" General Streck asked.

"Of course it's the British's supply!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Do you know where the British supplies are?"

"No, I don't know!"

"What do you mean by getting supplies?"

"General!" Qin Chuan walked to the map and pointed to the map and said: "The British had a habit of fighting, that is, they would always prepare a large amount of supplies before attacking and transport them as much as possible to the front line to prepare. This is because the British were very dependent on supplies, and they had to do so!"

General Streck nodded when he heard this.

Although Qin Chuan did not explain in detail, General Streck understood the meaning behind this: the German army relies on supplies, in fact, any mechanized troops rely on supplies. Without gasoline, cars and tanks cannot move forward, soldiers cannot survive without edible water, and they cannot fight without ammunition...

However, the German army's dependence on supplies was not as serious as the British army, which was mainly due to morale, training and tactics.

Because the German army had higher morale, they could often persist in fighting without supplies, and sometimes even seized the British army's equipment to fight. It was very difficult for the British army to do this.

Because the German army had better training, they needed much less supplies than the British army. For example, the German army often had a small piece of bread and a potato to deal with a meal, and each person consumed only half of the water per day as that of the British soldiers... If each person calculated it every day, it would be an extremely huge number.

The German army emphasized precise shooting more in terms of tactics... This can actually be said to be a problem in equipment. The advantages of K98K are its long range and high accuracy. German soldiers who use it prefer accurate shooting. The advantages of the "Enfield" rifle are its rate of fire and capacity, and the British troops who use it prefer firepower suppression.

It is hard to say which one is better on the battlefield, because several "Enfield" rifles can even suppress the German machine guns and cover the charge. Even British recruits with low training levels may cause a large number of casualties to the German army in a short period of time.

But the problem is...

The problem caused by high firing rate and high ammunition capacity is that there must be more ammunition.

All of this problem can be attributed to the fact that the British army was much more dependent on supplies than the German army.

Colonel Slain nodded in agreement.

"General!" said Colonel Slain: "The last time we attacked Tobrook, the British set up strongholds along the way to support their supply needs. I think this time the British are no exception!"

"So..." General Streck turned his eyes to the map and said, "Do you think the British would accumulate supplies for three divisions nearby?"

"Three divisions?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but look shocked.

Qin Chuan pretended to be shocked... He knew a lot of information, even Strek and others didn't know, but this information was not something a sergeant should have known.

"Yes!" Colonel Albridge explained: "We just got the intelligence that the main British forces had crossed our defense line before us. They had at least three divisions of troops, two infantry divisions and one armored division. Now they have reoccupied the Gabushali defense line!"

"General!" Qin Chuan said: "This proves that my guess is correct. Three divisions... There is also an armored division, which requires extremely large logistical support. Even the British may think that they can attack the Halfayagu defense line and even Tobrook with lightning speed, and then chase us all the way..."

General Streck nodded again.

The British army was actually fully capable of doing this because the British had obtained a large number of American tanks, and the German army knew nothing about it before.

Then, if Britain had originally planned to hunt down Germany and the Italian army, it would have to accumulate a large amount of supplies near the front line, otherwise it would have possible to lose the opportunity due to insufficient supply.

After a moment of silence, General Streck said, "Do you know what will be waiting for us if we guess wrong?"

Of course Qin Chuan knew that if he guessed wrongly or if the British blew up the German army in time before they received supplies, then the German tanks and cars would not have enough gasoline to fight the British army... This almost meant the destruction of the 21st Armored Division.

"But, General!" Qin Chuan said: "Even if we return to the Gabushali defense line, it is not optimistic. The British must be on high alert. Although the American tanks in their hands are not as good as us, they have 6-pound anti-tank guns and the coordination of air power... Even if we can win, it is a miserable victory!"

General Strek's expression changed when he heard this. What Qin Chuan said was not impossible. They seemed to have thought the battle situation too simply before.

Then General Streck raised his head and asked the two commanders: "What do you think?"

Colonel Slain glanced at Qin Chuan, then spread his hands and said, "General, although this suggestion does have a great risky element, as the commander of the First Infantry Regiment, I know very well that every suggestion made by the Sgt. was proven to be correct, so I agree to do so!"

"I agree too!" said Colonel Albridge: "Although this may indeed cause our entire army to be wiped out, but the general... If we succeed, it will cause the three British divisions to lose supplies, and the British offensive will be self-defeating! War is a bet, right? I think we should take a bet!"

General Streck nodded, and then said to Qin Chuan: "Sergeant, if you are right, I will give you a chicken in each of you!"

So the troops quickly advanced forward in the wind and sand.

The wind and sand at this time were beneficial to the German army, because just as the German army failed to find the British army crossed their defense line, the British army also failed to find the position of the German 21st Armored Division.

The newly appointed commander of the Eighth Army, Major General Rich and General Ochinlek, thought the Germans would return to the Gabushali Line, so they ordered the 30th Army to actively deploy defenses there and even mobilize the Air Force to conduct a coordinated exercise... General Ochinlek was worried that the Air Force would not be able to identify the enemy and us in the wind and sand, just like the mistakes they made during the Tobrook defense war.

What General Ochinlek didn't know was that the 21st Armored Division of the German Army did not return to the Gabusali line as he expected, but instead headed straight for their supply base Sidioma.
