"I won!" Kuhn said: "Six nine rings, will you compare again?"

"How did you do it?" Qin Chuan asked.

Kuhn didn't say anything. He pressed a magazine for his rifle, then took out another bullet from the magazine bag, raised it in front of Qin Chuan, and pushed it into the chamber... So Qin Chuan understood that the K98K can actually load six bullets at a time instead of five bullets, which is very important for a sniper, especially the British army has the "Enfield" rifle with ten bullet capacity.

Qin Chuan was convinced by the loss, but he was not frustrated by losing the game, but added a little more confidence... If K98K had six rounds of bullet capacity, there was not that big gap compared to the ten rounds of "Enfield".

The food these two days is as usual, bread and baked potatoes. After eating so many days, Qin Chuan has become a little used to it... It's just that because of insufficient supply, he is always half hungry and half full.

It was not until the next evening that good news came: a supply convoy arrived in Agdabiya.

This is the blessing that the Italian army occupied the Port of Burega ten hours ago.

The North African battlefield has a characteristic: whether the British or German, the Italian army needs to transport supplies from outside the African battlefield... Africa is too poor, and the people cannot support the supply of a unit of more than 100,000 people. In addition, there are ammunition, equipment, fuel, etc. that need to be transported from other places.

The British army was transported from another colony of India, through the Indian Ocean, through the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea, and then through the Suez Canal under its control to the front line. Sometimes they would risk transporting from the British mainland through the Mediterranean, because India could not provide all the equipment and combatants needed by the British army.

Of course, the German and Italian troops transported from Italy across the Mediterranean Sea to Libya.

This makes the occupation of coastal ports very important to both the enemy and us... For example, before occupying the Port of Brega, the supply transport of German and Italian troops had to be transported to the Port of Sirte and even further away Tripoli, and then travel hundreds of miles from Tripoli or Sirte to the front line by car.

The key point is that these "hundreds of miles" are still "hundreds of miles" along the desert. The convoys have to consume a lot of water and fuel during transportation, and will be bombed by British bombers at any time.

It is different to occupying the Port of Burega: the supply fleet can unload goods directly at Port of Burega, and the convoy can reach Agdabiya for only a few dozen miles. This not only shortens a large distance, but also reduces transportation consumption and the risk of being bombed.

This made the dinner more bee and jam, and the bread was doubled normally. Even when Qin Chuan and others were eating voraciously, the soldiers in the cooking squad roasted fat sausages on the fire... Qin Chuan's resistance to sausages has disappeared, but it is for hunger.

So Qin Chuan feels that those who cannot eat or are picky about food for some reason are because they have never been hungry and may even be starved to death if they have truly tasted the taste of starvation... Maybe they cannot even refuse human flesh.

This is the sorrow of human nature, but it is also a bloody reality.

"Those Italians finally played a role!" Big Bear said vaguely while gnawing on the sausage: "They can actually occupy Port Burega..."

"Do you really think they defeated the British?" The baker responded: "After Agdabia was occupied by us, the British in Brega Port either retreated or were surrounded by us!"

"You mean..." Big Bear wiped the oil from his mouth: "You mean Port Brega was abandoned by Britain? But that's not what those Italians said..."

Before this, Big Bear had talked with Italians in the transport convoy.

"Oh, okay!" Werner smiled, "Some of us believe in Italian!"

With a coaxing sound, the German soldiers laughed.

Only Kuhn slowly tore the bread in his hand and put it into his mouth piece by piece.

When everyone finished laughing, Kuhn said, "Stay tonight and be ready to go!"

"Setting out?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and looked at Kuhn one after another.

Only Qin Chuan understood what Kuhn meant... The German army stopped in Agdabiya because of insufficient supply. Now a closer supply line has been opened and enough supply is enough, so it is time to continue pursuing the British army.

Qin Chuan even knew one thing: the British army had retreated for two days. If the German army wanted to catch up with the British army, they had to take a shortcut...

Just look at the map and you will know that it is Cyrenaga, whose coastline turns an almost "S"-shaped bend in the Mediterranean.

As mentioned before, most troops on the battlefield in Africa need to be close to the coastline, not only because there is a only road on the coastline, "Coastal Avenue", but also because close to the coastline means that it is easier to get supplies.

This is true for the German and Italian troops, and the same is true for the British troops.

The British army retreated along the "S-shaped" coastline. The German army was two days behind. If they still wanted to catch up with the British army... of course, they could not follow their butts along the coastline. The German army had to go straight, that is, shortcuts.

But this is easy to say, and going straight means going deep into the heart of the desert away from the coastline that can be replenished.

When Qin Chuan thought that the entire army was about to enter the desert that was deserted thousands of miles away, he felt a chill... Compared to dying of thirst, he would rather die of battle or starve to death.

Sure enough, after a while, the Broken Palm Bazel sent someone to the company to receive equipment and supplies in a row... These equipment supplies include a newly added thirty rounds of ammunition, a five-day amount of bread and a few baked potatoes, and a kettle.

Kettle... You should know that every soldier has a kettle on his body, but now he has an extra kettle.

Needless to say what this is used for, it is to ask the soldiers to bring more water to prepare to go deep into the desert.

So the atmosphere immediately became depressed.

The soldiers have been in the desert for a while and they all know what it is like to go deep into the desert. It is not that the water in a kettle can be solved by issuing an extra kettle. I am afraid that it will be finished in less than a day.

After a long time, Werner said, "I wish we had enough cars so we could bring enough water and food!"

"We don't have many cars!" said the baker: "What's more, cars can't save us... It requires fuel and water itself, and it is easy to malfunction in high temperatures. What's more serious is that it may expose us to British planes!"

So the soldiers remained silent, and they all knew that the baker was right.
Chapter completed!
