Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect General Strek to directly ask him about his next play... This should have been a question that the staff officer or several regiment commanders wanted to answer.

"Don't be surprised!" General Streck seemed to see through Qin Chuan's thoughts, and he explained: "I only believe in the people who can bring me victory, not his military rank!"

General Streck's words are very direct and are also the reality of war... Victory is the most important thing. As long as it can bring victory to the army, what's wrong with even asking for the opinions of a sergeant?

Qin Chuan had not considered this issue. Before, he simply wanted to find supplies for the German army and attack the British army at the same time, but what should we do next...

"Have we encountered any difficulties?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" said General Streck: "We don't have enough cars to take enough supplies, so we can only stay here!"

Qin Chuan quickly understood what General Strek meant.

The advantage of the German army is maneuvering. They have tanks and mechanized forces that are much faster than the British army... The British army actually has no practical mechanized forces, which is due to their backward tactical decisions and equipment decisions. The "Matilda" tank,

The maximum speed of the "Valentin" tank is only 24 kilometers per hour, and the actual marching speed is not much faster than walking, so there is no need to form a mechanized force.

In contrast, the German armored division can be called real armored divisions, cars, armored vehicles, and three-wheelers, all of which can quickly maneuver on the wheels.

This is also one of the reasons why the British army clearly possesses superior forces on the battlefield but is always in a passive situation... The German army with stronger mobility can easily avoid the British army's edge to attack its weaknesses.

If the German army had to stop at Sidioppa because of supplies... it would undoubtedly be besieged by the British army and would eventually be unable to escape the fate of failure.

"Is it possible for us to find more cars?" Colonel Slain interrupted when he saw that Qin Chuan hadn't spoken for a long time.

General Streck shook his head: "There are deserts within a radius of dozens of miles, and the British have received the news that we occupied Sideoma. Their supply team will bypass this place, and it will be difficult for us to seize enough cars in a limited time."

Limited time refers to the time when the British arrived in Sideoma.

This time will not be too long, because Sidioma is only 70 kilometers away from the Gabushali defense line, and the maximum speed of "Stuart" can reach 58 kilometers per hour... Even if you give a discount in the wind and sand of the desert, it will only take two hours to get to Sidioma.

Two hours...

That is, if we don’t start to transfer now, it’s too late.

"Maybe we can ambush along the way!" said Colonel Albridge. "Our tanks are better than theirs, and we can defeat them on the way to this!"

General Streck shook his head again and replied: "Because of the wind and sand, it is also difficult for our reconnaissance aircraft to find the enemy's location and estimate its march route, so it is very difficult to ambush!"

Qin Chuan can understand this, this is the characteristic of desert combat... Desert combat is not like other terrain combat. The troops only need to occupy the high ground on both sides of the highway and arrange ambush. If the enemy wants to get up, they have to pass through the highway underground.

This is not the case in the desert. You can take roads or not, and there are even some places where there are not even roads.

If you want to ambush the enemy here, you must first reconnaissance the enemy and estimate the possible position from the direction of its advance and set up an ambush... Otherwise, if you are not careful, the ambush may become the enemy's prey.

At this time, Qin Chuan was a little helpless. He thought that all the problems he had received were solved, but he did not expect to fall into such a dilemma.

"If it were before..." General Streck said: "We might be able to obtain supplies from the British strongholds like we had previously conquered Tobrook, but now..."

General Streck smiled bitterly as he said that.

The officers all understood the meaning of General Streck's wry smile. The British became smarter and knew that burying supplies underground, it would not be so easy for the Germans to find the supplies from the British one by one. If the other is not good, they would fall into a desperate situation without supplies.

"Then!" Colonel Albridge thought for a while and said, "Why don't we defend based on Sidioma? We have supplies but the British did not, and at the same time, Tobrook may provide reinforcements for us, so that we may achieve the final victory..."

"This is a good idea!" Colonel Slain nodded.

"But there is no way!" General Streck said: "Because it is impossible to hope that Tobrook will reinforce us. The British have several times the strength of ours. Their 13th Army has surrounded Tobrook and launched a fierce attack, and we... are going to face the 30th Army of the British independently!"

In other words, the 21st Armored Division had to face three British divisions independently, one of which was the British 7th Armored Division with much more tanks than the German army, and the British army also had air force assistance.

What's worse, Sidioma, like other desert areas, can almost be said to be safe... This is also one of the reasons why mobility is so important in the desert. The side defending in the desert usually suffers a loss unless there is a strong Tobrook line or a natural dangerous place like the Halfaga.

Therefore, if Sidioma defends, even if you can win in the end, it will be a miserable victory.

The command car couldn't help but silence, and the officers all frowned and looked at the map on the table, as if a perfect combat plan suddenly popped up in the map.

Qin Chuan also felt powerless about this. The current situation of the German army is not to leave, nor does it not leave... Can the 21st Armored Division not escape the historical destiny of losing both sides with the British army?

Suddenly Qin Chuan thought of something, so he said to General Strek: "General, what if we leave here and keep this batch of supplies intact?"

"How is this possible?" General Streck replied with a smile: "We can only blow up these supplies before we leave, otherwise they will fall back into the hands of the British!"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan said: "So the British think so too!"

"What are you referring to?" General Streck asked in confusion.
