"Are you sure that's the case?" General Streck asked.

"No, I'm not sure!" Colonel Albridge replied: "Because we only got the answer from a sketch, we haven't even seen the real tank!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "I'm guessing too!"

Qin Chuan can only say this, otherwise he would not be able to explain how weak he would know the "General Grant" tank.

"Maybe we can let Major General Groe try first!" Colonel Albridge suggested.

"Good idea!" said General Streck.

But after he received a telegram from his adjutant, he shook his head and replied: "It's too late. They (the 15th Armored Division) have retreated. They have lost thirty-one tanks and destroyed about twenty-three enemy tanks!"

It is already quite good to achieve such a record when the enemy is ambushed and the number of tanks is obviously at a disadvantage.

"In other words... we have to face at least fifty tanks!" Colonel Albridge's face looked a little ugly.

"Don't worry!" said Colonel Slain. "We can only try this method, right?"

"Yes!" General Streck said to Colonel Albridge: "To convey this tactic, do you understand?"

"I understand, general!" Colonel Albridge replied.

There is a famous saying on the battlefield: "A worst strategy is better than hesitation."

This sentence means "decisive" and "confirm" on the battlefield.

That is to say, even if the decisions made at that time were proved wrong after the war, it was much better than hesitation for a while and then that.

That's what General Streck said.

Although the tactic that Qin Chuan mentioned is "uncertain", it must be "confirmed" when conveyed, so that the entire army can act in one direction and one goal.

So, when Colonel Albridge convened the officers of the 5th Armored Regiment to hold a meeting, he said with great confidence: "Gentlemen, I want to tell you a bad news. The 15th Armored Division suffered heavy losses from ambushing the enemy's new tank. They were on their way to retreat here. But their failure was not worthless. They used their lives and blood to find the weaknesses of the enemy's new tank. All we have to do is learn these and use them to defeat those British men..."

The tactic is actually very simple, which is to change the walking route of the tank. In addition, the tanks should be as scattered as possible. If they are crowded, they will easily be covered by the artillery fire of "new tanks" that have a numerical advantage.

But it is not difficult to disperse, because the 21st Armored Division has only twenty-four tanks in total, and it is difficult to disperse them on a long line of defense.

"Sergeant!" General Streck said to Qin Chuan: "You should probably stay here for a while, such as waiting for the latest information!"

Qin Chuan understood General Strek's meaning.

General Streck's real intention was not to make Qin Chuan wait for any latest information. He was giving Qin Chuan an excuse to stay in the command car and avoid this potentially dangerous battle.

Qin Chuan wanted to agree, and General Streck had found a good excuse for him.

But in the end, Qin Chuan refused, because this made Qin Chuan feel that he had betrayed his comrades.

"I think I should go back and be with the soldiers!" Qin Chuan said: "My subordinates need me!"

General Streck nodded and said, "You are brave, Sergeant. Good luck!"

"Good luck!"

So Qin Chuan was sent back to the position.

When he returned to the position, there had changed... Several trenches appeared in the desert like magic, and several barbed wire were drawn in front of the trenches and mines were laid.

Of course, these barbed wire and mines have access to the purpose of allowing the withdrawn 15th Armored Division to pass.

Behind the trenches are foxgloves and anti-tank gun positions. Occasionally, several anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun positions are seen.

"Sergeant!" Seeing Qin Chuan coming, Werner waved to Qin Chuan and shouted: "Here... we thought you could not catch up with this battle!"

"No!" Qin Chuan jumped into the trench and replied: "I am worried that the British miss my rifle!"

There was a burst of laughter in the trenches.

There was nothing to prepare next. Yakopp brought boxes of anti-tank grenades, and Werner also moved a "English crossbow" from the car... This thing was seized in Alexander. Not many of them were seized, and most of them were blown up in battle. Only a few of them could be used. Werner saved one of them.

Werner put the "English crossbow" on the trenches, patted the cannon body and said, "Now you can let the British taste its power!"

"The enemy will discover it and bombard you into the sky at the first time!" Kuhn said, "That's a big guy, isn't it?"

Kuhn is right, "English crossbow" may be useful in street fighting, but in an empty positional battle... it will be a good target for snipers.

Especially when pulling the main spring "loaded", because you cannot use a lying position to "open the bow" in the trench, and using a erect position to "open the bow" is almost telling the enemy, "I'm here, shoot me!"

"When it comes to this..." Werner retorted: "At least I don't need to run to the tank with explosives or grenades to blow it up...that's more dangerous, right?"

Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard this. Werner was right. The German army urgently needed a single anti-tank weapon... In fact, the German army did have it in World War II, which was the anti-tank rocket launcher called the "Iron Fist".

It's just that it was not produced until 43 years later, or almost two years later, but it could not change anything at that time.

Why not get the "iron fist" out in advance?

Qin Chuan thought that its structure was not complicated, and it was even very similar to the "English crossbow". Both adopted hollow charging technology, but the "English crossbow" was to eject the warhead, while the "Iron Fist" used the principle of a recoil-free cannon to fire the warhead.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a shout: "They are here, the 15th Armored Division!"

Qin Chuan poked out of the trenches and looked out, and sure enough, dozens of cars were dragging a long ray of smoke and dust towards the defense line of the 21st Armored Division.

This is the first part of the 15th Armored Division evacuated, most of them were wounded and medical staff.
