There are two more chapters in the afternoon.

**********

The result of this chaos is that the German army cannot obtain accurate information from the prisoners.

Therefore, German intelligence units could only use limited intelligence and sometimes rely on the British army's organizational habits to guess the British army's strength and equipment.

However, the British army's supply speed and equipment amount were far beyond the imagination of the German intelligence units.

Therefore, General Strek and even Rommel thought that... as long as the 15th Armored Division in Matrul was trapped, the British army would not have much armored power that could even block the German and Italian offensives.

"Sergeant!" Just as Qin Chuan was stunned, General Streck raised his glass and said to Qin Chuan: "As usual, this time it was your suggestion that played a decisive role. Your wisdom is really impressive! Cheers to our Sergeant..."

As he said that, General Streck and the officers raised their wine glasses and cheered.

"General!" Qin Chuanqian took a sip of wine and said, "Although I also hope that we will win in the near future, I don't think the situation is so optimistic!"

"Oh, why?" General Streck asked.

"I'm worried that the enemy's troops and tanks will be much more than we thought!" Qin Chuan said: "As we know, the United States has been helping the British, and they will soon get more equipment!"

"What if they can get more equipment? We will still defeat them like before!" Colonel Albridge was a little fluttered after drinking some wine, or it could be said that the 21st Armored Division achieved a series of impressive results that made him underestimate the enemy... After all, Colonel Albridge is the commander of the Fifth Armored Regiment, and the Fifth Armored Regiment is the main force of the 21st Armored Division.

"This time it's different!" Qin Chuan shook his head.

"Tell me, Sergeant!" General Streck asked, "What's the difference?"

"General!" Qin Chuan asked back without answering, "I want to know, how are you going to fight this battle next?"

General Streck replied without thinking: "Siege Martur and completely destroy Martur's British troops. I mean, at least they cannot escape back, so that our armored troops can attack eastward with great force!"

"So, how many days do you think this will take?" Qin Chuan asked again.

General Strek thought for a while and said, "Given the terrain of Matru and the 2nd New Zealand Division with great combat power, I think it will take us three days!"

"Three days, then continue to attack eastward, right?"

"Yes!"

"General!" Qin Chuan walked to the front of the map, then pointed to a location on the map and said: "This is Alahman, which is two hundred kilometers away from Matru and seventy-five kilometers away from Alexandria. I wonder if you have found that its geographical location is very special?"

"Hmm?" General Strek looked at Alahman's position, but didn't see anything.

"To be precise, the special location is not Alahman, but a basin 55 kilometers south of it!" Qin Chuan pointed to the map and explained: "This basin is called the Katara Basin. I happened to talk to the guide about this basin. It is very similar to the desert we have traveled through before, with yellow sand everywhere. This piece of yellow sand is a nightmare for mechanized troops, because even jeeps will be deeply trapped in it, let alone cars full of supplies and bulky tanks!"

Upon hearing this, General Streck's face changed slightly and said, "You mean... it is only 55 kilometers?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "From the coastal city of Alamein in the north and to the Katara Basin in the south, there are only 55 kilometers in total!"

"That is,..." General Streck nodded: "This is a throne. If the British gather all their equipment here and build a line of defense, such as laying mines in front of the line of defense..."

As he said that, General Streck couldn't help but frown, he no longer dared to think about it.

After pausing, General Streck ordered: "Let the Air Force go to reconnaissance immediately!"

"Where is the reconnaissance, general?" asked the adjutant.

"Of course it's Alahman!" General Strek said: "See if the British are building a line of defense there!"

After a while, the adjutant hurriedly ran back and reported: "General, the British did build defense lines in Alamein, and they also found a large number of tanks!"

"A lot of tanks?" General Streck was shocked by this reconnaissance result.

From the start of the war to the present, the German Panzer Division has defeated the British armored forces again and again to win by a large score. Now it even sieges the 15th Panzer Division in Matru, and there are "a large number of" tanks on the Alamaic defense line!!

"General!" Colonel Slain looked at the map and said, "Matrue may be a cake given to us by the British, and they used this place to attract our attention so that there would be enough time to build the fortifications in Alamein!"

In fact, Colonel Slain overestimated General Ochinlek. At this time, the British were already overwhelmed by the blow, and all they wanted was to defend the Alamein line of defense to protect Alexandria... Alamein was the last line of defense in Alexandria.

Alexandria is notorious. It is the main port of British foreign aid supplies, and it is not far from the Nile and Suez Canal. If this port falls into the hands of the German army, then the German army can directly bombard and block the British logistics supply line with the air force... The reason why the British army can compete with the German army until now is equipment, troops and supplies. If even this advantage is lost, then the British army simply surrenders.

General Streck nodded, then turned to ask Colonel Albridge: "What do you think?"

General Streck was wondering if Colonel Albridge was confident of breaking through the Almain line.

"I'm not sure, General!" Colonel Albridge, who was full of confidence just now, replied with a serious expression: "We know too little information. How many tanks are the "large" tanks? How strong is the defense line? How many troops do the enemy have? We don't know either!"

After pausing, Colonel Albridge continued: "But one thing is certain that if we delay in Matru, the stronger the Almain defense line will be, and the harder it will be for us to break through... Especially this is a defense line that is only 55 kilometers long. We cannot encircle and can only attack head-on, which is very unfavorable for us!"

This is the characteristic of the Almain line of defense. It is bordered by the Mediterranean in the north and the Catala Basin in the south. It is indeed as Colonel Albridge said, "It is impossible to overcome and can only attack head-on."
