"The British also thought we would blow up these supplies!" Qin Chuan said: "So, why don't we blow them up?"

"The problem is that we can't blow up, Sgt.!" said Colonel Albridge, "We need these supplies!"

Qin Chuan did not answer, but General Streck understood. He nodded and said, "Good idea, let them see!"

"What?" Colonel Albridge's face was confused, and Colonel Slein didn't understand.

"Blast them, Colonel!" General Streck explained: "It's not really blown!"

Colonel Albridge and Colonel Slein were stunned, and then they suddenly realized.

"It's a good idea, Sergeant!" Colonel Slain laughed: "Those supplies are buried in the soil. We made some appearances on the surface, and the British thought we had blown them up, so these supplies were safe and we could come back to get them at any time!"

"But this method can only be used once!" Qin Chuan said: "If we come back next time, the British will find that they have been deceived!"

"Yes!" said General Streck: "They are not fools. If they are fooled once, they will not be fooled again!"

"So we're going to find enough cars before we come back next time!" said Colonel Slain.

"And keep this matter strictly confidential!" said Colonel Albridge. "If the British get a little news, they may try to dig because of it, and then they will find that the supplies have not been blown up!"

"Yes!" said General Streck: "So we must make the soldiers think they really blow up the supplies!"

Only by being able to deceive yourself can you deceive the enemy. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done to deceive every soldier. For example, when setting up the "site" engineers, all officers can do is to minimize the possibility of leaks.

Qin Chuan reminded: "General, not only that, we must also make General Rommel believe it!"

General Streck was stunned and nodded.

Not to mention what the British would eavesdrop from the communication, General Rommel and Tobrook's garrison may have suspicious of the British, so it is best to keep Rommel in the dark.

In fact, the real purpose of Qin Chuan's words was because he knew that the British had "super secrets" that could crack all the German passwords, that is, as long as there was a communication received by the British, it would almost be said that all efforts were in vain.

So General Streck quickly assigned the task.

First, Strek sent a telegram to Rommel: "Apologize, General! I cannot defend Sideoma as you ordered, because according to the information I received, in addition to the 7th Armored Division, the enemy also had the Odorian Infantry Division and other unknown units assembled towards Sideoma. It is estimated that the tanks that besieged us will reach 300, and the enemy will also have a large number of air forces to coordinate, so I think even if we have a large amount of supplies, we will suffer heavy losses and even annihilate them. Therefore, I decided to bring enough supplies to abandon Sideoma. Please rest assured that we will blow up all supplies, including the wells of Sideoma, and will not let a drop of oil and water fall into the hands of the British!"

Rommel couldn't help but get furious when he saw the telegram.

"This idiot, this coward!" Rommel was so angry that he swept all the documents on the table to the ground: "Don't he know that the most important thing in the desert is supplies? Although there are many tanks and troops in the British, more troops also means that more supplies are needed. As long as they hold on for a few days, the British will become weaker and weaker. The 21st Armored Division can completely squander the British supplies in Sideoma, but now they have to blow up all these supplies..."

In some ways, Rommel's idea was correct, and more importantly, Tobrook was under the attack of the British 13th Army at this time. Rommel hoped that the 21st Armored Division would be in charge of Sideoma and share the pressure of the British army.

Otherwise, Rommel is not sure whether Tobrook can withstand the overwhelming offensive of the two British armies... After all, Tobrook is the focus for the German army, and this should be done from a strategic perspective.

After thinking about it, Rommel calmly replied to Streck: "Lieutenant General, I must remind you that this is a desert, and the amount of oil and water consumed by an armored division every day is amazing. Even if you fill all the rear compartments and fuel tanks of all cars, you can't hold on in the desert for a few days!"

Rommel is of course an exaggeration. In fact, as a mechanic, there is no way to use all the space in the rear compartment to fill oil, because the car also needs to carry soldiers and ammunition, otherwise the soldiers can only marches in the desert with their feet at a turtle speed. The result is that even the British "Matilda" tank can catch up.

General Streck's call was: "I understand, General. But I think this is our only choice!"

Rommel regretted it when he received this telegram. He had known that he would have replaced this guy who disobeyed orders at all costs.

But at this time, the direct command of the 21st Armored Division was in the hands of Strek and was outside Tobrook, so Rommel had no choice but to do anything to him.

Sidioma, the transfer order was issued soon.

The reason for transfer rather than retreat is that Tobrook was already besieged by the British army at this time, so even if the German army wanted to retreat, there was no place to retreat.

As for where to move, no one knows.

Because the most important thing now is not this, but to leave here before the British 7th Armored Division arrives at Sidioma.

You should know that the 7th Armored Division is not far from here, and the 7th Armored Division is equipped with a "Stuart" with a speed of more than the "No. 3" tank. Once it is wrapped around, it will be difficult to get out.

So a team of German soldiers put fuel and water into the car as much as possible. The order they received was to bring as much as they could, especially fuel, and it is best to tie several oil barrels to the tank.

The engineers were busy at the supply site... They were perhaps the only people in the army who knew the truth.

In fact, except for them, General Streck was the only one who knew the secret, and everyone else was told that it was blowing up the remaining supplies.

The task of the engineer is to do some work at the stone tablet. They moved the stone tablet more than 100 meters away from the supply side... This distance is difficult to detect without careful measurement, but it can prevent a large number of supplies from being really detonated.
