"What? What did you say?" Colonel Slain was stunned when he heard Bazel's report: "You mean we won?"

"Yes, Colonel!" Bazer's voice trembled with excitement: "They surrender, we will guard the warehouse!"

"How many of them are there?" asked Colonel Slain.

"There are five hundred people!" Bazer replied: "Twenty tanks and twenty armored vehicles, and some cars carrying ammunition!"

"But you only have more than a hundred people!" Colonel Slain became less and less convinced: "And you have nothing, but you actually defeated them?"

"Yes, Colonel!" Bazel replied: "We even seized five tanks and seven armored vehicles, all of which were intact!"

"How did you do it?" Colonel Slain even doubted whether Bazer said these words under the coercion of the British.

"Remember Sergeant Frick?" Bazer asked back.

"Hmm!" said Colonel Slain, "that tricky guy..."

Then Colonel Slain reacted: "You mean, he is the one who will win you again?"

"Yes!" Bazel replied: "He suggested that we defend on cruise ships, you know, on cruise ships we are safe, tanks can never get close to us unless they can swim, and we can shoot condescendingly on cruise ships..."

"So you won!" Colonel Slain couldn't help laughing: "Great, Captain! You have your troops, especially Sergeant Frick... What a beautiful battle, a good suggestion. I think I should give you more holidays, but the war is not over yet, do you understand?"

"I understand, sir!" Bazel replied.

The sky gradually brightened, and a fiery red sun jumped from the sea level, indicating that the world will move from cold to hot again.

Werner lay on the cruise liner's bed like an upside-down sea cucumber, half-closed his eyes, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and a kettle filled with water was placed on the head of the bed.

"Can we sleep for a while? Sgt.!" Werner asked.

"No!" Qin Chuan replied while tidying up his backpack.

"Why?" Werner said: "We dream of having a clean house and look here... we can even have a room for each person!"

Several of Qin Chuan's subordinates also looked at Qin Chuan with a look of qian.

"If you want to stay here, I have no problem!" Qin Chuan said and carried his backpack.

The subordinates couldn't help but cheer.

But Qin Chuan added inappropriately: "As long as you are not afraid of death!"

"What?" Werner couldn't help but jumped up from the bed.

Qin Chuan replied slowly: "I have reason to believe that the British army had reported the reason for the failure to their commander last night, that is to say... the British already knew that it was this cruise ship that caused them to fail! And now it's dawn again, so what do you think will happen?"

"Bombard?" Werner was so surprised that his cigarette almost fell from his mouth.

Qin Chuan didn't answer, put on his backpack and grabbed the rifle, saying, "Anyway, I'd better choose to go to the dock, you can decide for yourself!"

This move was very useful. As soon as Qin Chuan stepped out of the door, the soldiers were in the cabin at the fastest speed, and soon they followed behind.

Qin Chuan said this in fact, it was not an exaggeration, but the reason was not this... You should know that reinforcements from Benghazi will soon arrive at Tobrook Port. If the British still want to fight, they should send air forces to stop the reinforcements from entering the port.

Qin Chuan guessed right. Major General Evans was stunned when he heard that his plan failed last night. No matter how careful he was, he could not have thought that the final bad thing would be the cruise ship seized by the Germans. If he had known this, he would have let the Air Force sank these cruise ships yesterday.

It's too late to say anything now. The sneak attack plan has failed. The next problem is that enemy reinforcements enter the port and supplement Tobrook's defense.

This made Major General Evans feel as if the sky had fallen. As mentioned before, Port Tobrook was responsible for the supply of more than 100,000 British troops. Without it, it would mean that more than 100,000 British troops were killed...

"Major General!" The staff officer handed a telegram to Major General Evans and said, "Lt. Glenhill's order..."

Evans picked up the telegram and glanced at it, which read: "Continue to attack Tobrook, regardless of whether the warehouse can be recaptured!"

Major General Evans couldn't help but nodded, Lieutenant General Greenhill's orders were the same as Evans's idea.

Recapture of the warehouse is of course important to the British army, because it almost represents the question of whether the British army can continue to fight against the German army in this area.

But now, it is basically impossible to regain the warehouse.

The reason is very simple. The sneak attack can only be used once, and the enemy will be prepared for the second time, not to mention that the enemy's troops will be replenished immediately.

Then, if the warehouse cannot be regained, regaining Tobrook becomes the top priority.

Because Tobrook can provide necessary supplies for the main British forces to retreat... Fuel and ammunition can be transported from Egypt through transport ships. As long as Tobrook is in the hands of the British army, even the British army can retreat using the port.

Otherwise, it is a question whether the British army can return to Egypt safely.

What's more serious is that if the Port of Tobrook is in the hands of the German army, then the Italian transport ship will continue to send resources here, and it will become a forward base for Germany, and the Italian army chased and killed the British army and even attacked Egypt.

At this time, Major General Evans couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had a good chance last night that he could defeat the German army and occupy the Port of Tobrook, just as the staff said... But Major General Evans made a wrong decision for the sake of supplies.

But it is actually difficult to judge which one is right or wrong: in the situation at that time, I am afraid that most people would choose to do the same thing as Major General Evans. No one would have thought that an elite unit with absolute advantage in equipment and troop would be defeated by an ordinary German infantry company.

This is also the charm of war. Any accident can happen. No matter how perfect the plan is, it cannot guarantee victory.

Major General Evans knew that he regretted it would not help, so he looked at the map and said to the staff: "Contact the Air Force Command and prepare them to bomb the enemy reinforcements at any time!"

"Yes!" the adviser responded.
