Just when Qin Chuan and the driver were at a loss, several engineers came up.

"What are you guys doing here?" an engineer shouted at the two of them in dissatisfaction: "Who allowed you to detonate the mines we have carefully buried?"

"You bastards!" the driver rebuked: "You should tell everyone where the mines are buried!"

"That's right!" the engineer replied: "Don't you know now?"

Another engineer answered, "If you continue to say this, we are willing to leave you here and let you find a way for yourself!"

The engineers said, then turned around and left in a cool manner.

"No, no...wait!" Although the driver knew that the engineer was just scaring him, he did not dare to take this risk.

And who can be sure whether the engineers will really leave them here? After all, this is a war, and it is not uncommon for mines to kill a few of their own people.

Finally, Qin Chuan and the driver arrived at General Strek's command vehicle safely under the "good people and good things" of the engineer.

What surprised Qin Chuan was that General Rommel was also there.

"We're meeting again, Sergeant!" Rommel took the initiative to move forward and shake hands with Qin Chuan. He glanced at Qin Chuan's ragged military uniforms and covered with blood, and nodded and said, "This battle must be very difficult!"

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Good!" Rommel patted Qin Chuan's shoulder and said confidently: "Don't worry, everything is under control, we will win!"

Qin Chuan suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling, as if a fire was burning in his heart again. Although he knew that this was Rommel's usual method, Rommel had always inspired soldiers to fight bravely, but at this time he was still "inspired" involuntarily.

This shows what role the officers play in battle, especially grassroots officers... Rommel's work is actually what grassroots officers should do, but if Rommel does it, the effect will be much better.

Just imagine, if an army is defeated, the platoon leader, company commander and even general are dejected like wilted cabbage, then the morale of the entire army will soon be gone, and this army will enter another failure without any surprise.

But if the officer still had a confident smile on his face and was full of energy... this would undoubtedly infect all the soldiers and cheer them up again.

Rommel turned around and walked to General Strek and others who were surrounded in front of the map. His face turned serious and he said dissatisfied: "However, our commander is not dedicated. Look at our soldiers..."

As he said that, Rommel raised his hand to Qin Chuan, who was standing, and said, "Look at him, while our soldiers charged forward and fought against the enemy, you are here to enjoy the port wine and the warm little bed!"

Obviously, Rommel was very dissatisfied with General Streck's command method.

But this is actually a matter of command habits.

Because Rommel often went deep into the front line, he asked others to be the same as him... This practice can indeed motivate soldiers, but at the same time it also sent a large number of officers to the enemy's muzzle.

"General!" Qin Chuan said to Rommel: "I think General Strek and others have tried their best, but..."

"Just what?" Rommel asked.

"I think the failure of this battle was caused by several aspects!" Qin Chuan said: "First of all, the intelligence caused us to promote the attack without knowing the enemy situation. Secondly, the troops and equipment between the enemy and us were disproportionate. Our army was too tired and the enemy was waiting for it. The 4th Indian Infantry Division we faced had not even participated in the battle before!"

"Hmm!" Rommel nodded: "Sergeant, have you heard that you have been giving advice to General Streck and have been adopted repeatedly?"

"In fact, that was the result of our discussion, General!" Qin Chuan certainly did not dare to take all the credit.

Just kidding, Colonel Slain and General Streck were right next to him... They were both their immediate bosses, and Qin Chuan, as Chinese, certainly knew how to speak.

Sure enough, Qin Chuan saw General Strek and others' grateful and appreciative gazes.

This is actually not a unique feature of the Chinese. It is the same in all countries around the world. From primitive African tribes to modern American cities, which boss would like his subordinates to climb onto his head?

This is a commonality of mankind, but China has turned it into something similar to "culture".

Rommel was obviously satisfied with Qin Chuan's humble answer. He nodded and reached out to signal Qin Chuan to join their discussion.

"Now, we have to learn from the lessons of last night's failure!" Rommel pointed to the map and said, "At least we can be sure that the British still have a hundred 'Stuart' tanks in Alamein. I guess this may be the new arrival of the British, but they did play a big role!"

Rommel didn't explain it clearly, but Qin Chuan could understand it.

The armored forces that appeared on the flank of the 21st Panzer Division last night had 100 "Stuarts", which forced the 21st Panzer Division to retreat...

But in fact, what Rommel knew was not accurate. This "Stuart" was two hundred instead of one hundred. General Ochinlek hid some of his strength.

"And we lost a total of twelve tanks in the battle last night!" Rommel said: "In addition, we still have..."

As he said that, Rommel turned his attention to Colonel Albridge.

"There are fifty-three more cars to fight, General!" Albridge replied: "In addition, we have thirty-one captured 'Stuarts', but they are not very suitable for combat!"

Rommel did not respond. He continued to point to the map and said, "My plan is like this. The 15th Armored Division will arrive here in an hour. The 15th Armored Division will be responsible for the main attack. The breakthrough is still Roa Issat Ridge. You are responsible for covering the left wing of the 15th Armored Division, and the two Italian divisions are responsible for covering the right wing. So, you should turn to the Alamean direction to set up defense. Are there any problems?"

"No problem, General!" General Streck and others answered.

There is indeed no problem with this, so it can solve the situation where the flanks are bounded and cannot retreat.

On the other hand, the minefield in the direction of Roissat Ridge has just been eliminated. If the German army conducts some harassment and bombing, it will be difficult for the British to replenish enough mines in time, so it is indeed a good breakthrough point.

But... in the current state of the 21st Armored Division, is it really suitable to continue fighting?
