I sorted out the reward information tonight and found that there were more than 100 rewards in more than half a month, including 2,769, unpowered submarines. As soon as the squad leader and three book friends came up, they became the helmsman of the book. It was so generous.

Another thing that touched the soldiers was that on the day the article "The Chinese Expeditionary Force of the War of Resistance Against Japan" was completed, the book's collection increased by nearly 800. You should know that the follow-up of the War of Resistance Against Japan was only 1,200, which means that almost two-thirds of the readers followed that day! The old readers are still very powerful!

Thank you brothers, and thanks to all the book friends who support the soldiers...

************

Qin Chuan guessed correctly. The British army began to repair the fortifications left by the Italians three months ago, just when they captured Tobrook.

And because Tobrook was a good deep-water port, the British army could easily transport the steel, cement and other raw materials needed to build the fortifications from their colonies, so the entire 30-mile (48 kilometers) defense line was completely closed without gaps.

The Tobrook line is mainly composed of two lines, the outermost layer is the red line, and there are 140 concrete bunkers in the layers of barbed wire. Each bunker has 20 soldiers to defend, including light and heavy ones, one machine gun, an anti-tank gun, and a supply that is sufficient for seven days of defense.

It is worth mentioning that most of these bunkers are built underground, and only the part exposed on the ground is shooting holes and the top of the bunker... This makes it difficult to be discovered, so it is difficult to become a target. The British army even piled sand around them to make it look like a small sand dune.

Two miles behind the red line is the blue line, here is a large-scale minefield and barbed wire. Every 500 yards a fortification is distributed with a large number of machine guns and anti-tank guns.

It is not difficult to imagine that these fortifications are targeting the German armored forces... If the German armored forces attack this line of defense, they must remove the bunkers from the red line one by one. Otherwise, tanks will not only fall into the minefield and will not move, but will also be hit by fire from all directions.

"This is a dead end!" Alphredo said to Qin Chuan angrily: "Sergeant, look at the good things you did... You have brought us all to this dead end!"

"Enough!" Werner grabbed Alphredo's collar and pushed him aside hard: "Italian, do I need me to remind you how many times did the Sergeant save you? Without the help of the Sergeant, you wouldn't be here at all!"

Other German soldiers also cast contemptuous eyes at Alphredo.

"Don't worry about his words!" Bazer comforted Qin Chuan: "The Colonel is right. Even if we can't do anything when we arrive at Tobrook, it's much better than staying in Tenger and being wiped out!"

"Yes, Sergeant!" said the baker: "You know, we seized and blew up a lot of supplies from our enemies, which is enough to make the British feel distressed!"

"There are chocolates!" Werner said, then stuffed a chocolate into his mouth, threw the packaging bag into the wind and let it float in the wind: "I think this is what the British people feel most distressed about, what do you think?"

The soldiers couldn't help laughing, and Qin Chuan was also surprised by the German soldiers' calm performance. You know, this almost represents death. How many people in this world are facing it calmly and dying generously?

Therefore, in Qin Chuan's view, Alphredo's performance is normal.

"We may still have a chance!" Kuhn didn't know whether to comfort Qin Chuan or tell the truth: "The British lacked military strength, and their military literacy was also very limited!"

"Hmm!" Bazel nodded in agreement.

Bazer also saw this. If the British had sufficient troops, at least a few people would be placed in the trenches. At the same time, if the British had good military qualities, they should wait until the Germans approached before fighting... that would cause great casualties to the Germans.

From this we can also see that the British soldiers were timid: because they were timid, they did not dare to defend the trenches and all hid in the bunkers, and because they were timid, they did not dare to put the Germans closer and beat them.

"But this still cannot change the fact that we cannot break through this line of defense!" Bazer said: "We need artillery and tanks, but we don't have all of this... and the enemy has almost endless bullets!"

This is indisputable, because this is the Port of Tobrook, and the British's materials are constantly being sent from the sea and gathered here, so of course they have endless bullets. It can even be said that they will soon receive reinforcements, from the sea, from the direction of Maychile, and even have air power...

"Why don't we choose to surrender?" Alphredo said in a trembling voice: "It's no point in continuing to fight now, right?"

Before Alphredo finished speaking, Big Bear punched him.

"Shut your mouth, Italian!" said Big Bear: "Otherwise I will make you shut up forever!"

As he said that, Big Bear intentionally lit the pistol at his waist in front of Alphredo. Alphredo really didn't dare to say anything more.

While they were talking, the Third Infantry Battalion launched another attack, but without surprise, they were quickly returned by the fierce firepower of the British army... The German army got nothing except leaving a few bodies on the battlefield.

"Be prepared for sacrifice!" Bazer said to the soldiers.

The soldiers knew what Bazer meant. If they could not break through the enemy's defense line after several attacks, then the next... it is likely to launch a cluster attack on the enemy.

Although this has long been proven to be invalid, the German army now has no choice.

Sure enough, I heard an order soon:

"All members are ready for combat!"

"All members are ready for combat!"

...

The soldiers checked their weapons one after another, and Werner also grabbed two grenades from the ammunition box and put them on the belt around his waist. He also suggested that Qin Chuan do the same.

"Sergeant!" said Werner: "If necessary, these grenades can help us clear mines!"

Qin Chuan knew that Werner was right, but he had no intention of considering these... For Qin Chuan, the attack that the German army was about to choose was like a gun-firing era when the enemy and us were lined up to shoot each other in an orderly manner. The difference was that the enemy was hiding in the bunker and holding machine guns.

Perhaps German soldiers could do this and had the courage to do this, but Qin Chuan was unwilling to accept it.

The two "mosquito" reconnaissance planes that were reconnaissance in the air seemed to have noticed the helplessness of the German army. They dived from the air and flew low over the heads of German soldiers like a show of demonstration, causing the German soldiers to curse but be helpless... The "mosquito" reconnaissance plane is very fast, with a maximum speed of 684 kilometers per hour. At this time, the "Spray Fire" fighter, the best fighter jet in Europe, had a maximum speed of only 660 kilometers per hour. In addition, it doesn't matter if it is being reconnaissed by "mosquito" now, so the German army is unwilling to waste bullets on these two "mosquito".

However, this gave Qin Chuan an inspiration. He immediately shouted to Bazer, who was about to lead the troops to charge a few meters away: "Captain, can you delay the attack? I need to see the colonel!"

"Sergeant!" Bazer said without looking back: "Unless you have a way to break through the defense, otherwise..."

"Yes, I think I have a solution!" Qin Chuan replied: "Although I'm not sure if it's feasible!"

"Are you kidding?" Bazel turned around: "We have nothing, what can we do?"

"Captain!" Werner shouted, "This is not a loss for us, isn't it? Why not give it a try?"

"Yes, Captain!" the baker agreed, "Anyway, we are all going to die, aren't we? I'm willing to try anything, even if it's very likely to succeed!"

"Okay!" Bazel nodded, then looked to his right and said, "The Colonel is there!"
