Chapter 193 Attack

"We want to continue the attack!" Rommel said at the meeting.

The 15th Armored Division arrived in Alexander on the afternoon of the day when Hitler launched an attack on the Soviet Union, and Rommel was also here. As soon as he arrived at Alexander, he summoned the officers to hold a meeting.

Although Qin Chuan was not an officer, he also participated in the meeting under Rommel's name.

"We can't continue the attack, General!" General Streck has always sang against Rommel, and this time it will be no exception.

It just seems that General Streck only has a few times to win the argument.

"General!" Colonel Albridge added: "We only have thirty-two tanks left, and there are even eight of them that are the enemy's 'Stuarts', and they are all scarred and need repair..."

"The enemy's situation is worse than us!" Rommel said: "And we have the 15th Armored Division, and they have forty tanks!"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Albridge couldn't help but look at General Streak... They thought the 15th Armored Division would not suffer much, because they did not intersperse behind enemy lines like the 21st Armored Division and fought a fierce battle with the enemy's "English Crossbow" in Alexander.

In fact, every family has a difficult sutra... The 15th Armored Division's mission is to launch a feint attack on the British army in the area of ​​Roa Isat Ridge.

The feint attack was originally an easy task, but the problem was that the feint attack began in the daytime, and the British army had also concentrated its main defensive forces in the direction of Roa Isat Ridge...

So the 15th Panzer Division was bombarded by British artillery fire and British fighter jets and bombers. Many tanks were destroyed before seeing the enemy. It would be good to have the remaining forty tanks.

"So we can't attack!" General Streck said: "The tanks of our two armored divisions together are only 70!"

"I think this is enough!" Rommel replied: "The British are only some 'Stuart' with weak combat power. Our tanks can easily destroy them and break through their defense!"

"The problem is that the British have not only tanks, they also have planes and cannons!" General Streck retorted.

"We can choose to attack at night!" Rommel said: "In addition, we have occupied Alexander and its airport and seized enough fuel and supplies..."

As he said that, Rommel pointed to Alexander on the map and said, "We can drive the fighter planes to Alexander... They can cover our attack!"

After hearing this, the officers could only choose to remain silent, because Rommel's offensive plan seemed to be feasible. Although the British army had a numerical advantage on the plane, the German army had the advantages of performance and quality. If they put all their strength into the attack, they could indeed burst out with powerful energy.

Seeing the officers' hearts moved, Rommel continued: "Our goal is Port Said... Once we can take this port, the British's supplies will lose the port where they land, which means we have cut off the British's supply line!"

Qin Chuan never spoke because he actually knew Rommel’s thoughts.

Rommel was eager to launch an attack on the British defense line. In addition to worrying that the defense line would become a trench war during World War I, another worry was that time was not on the German side... The German equipment was transported from Italy by sea, while the British equipment was transported from India.

It is obvious that the British army's equipment and troop transportation was much faster than the German army, and even because the American equipment obtained by the British army was not inferior to the German army in terms of performance.

Therefore, the further time goes, the greater the gap between the German army and the British army will be. In this case, the German army can only go quickly to fight and decide.

Now……

As 126 British fighter jets entered Malta Island and cut off the maritime traffic line of the African legion, the German army's already pitiful supply was even worse, so they even asked the German army to fight quickly.

"Sergeant!" Rommel asked when Qin Chuan frowned and said nothing, "You seem to have different opinions on this plan?"

At this time, Rommel had already looked at Qin Chuan with admiration.

This is not only because Qin Chuan saved his life before, nor because Qin Chuan invented the "mine-sweeping tank" and successfully broke through the British defense line... In Rommel's view, these are just a flash of inspiration and a little luck can be achieved.

If these are nothing, then Qin Chuan's performance in Alexander completely defeated Rommel in strategy... because when Rommel received information about the 21st Armored Division being blocked, he didn't know what to do.

But unexpectedly, Rommel soon received the news that the German army had successfully captured Alexander.

After knowing that Qin Chuan used the propaganda offensive to achieve miraculous results, Rommel couldn't help but sigh: "This sergeant created a miracle. He defeated the enemy with a loudspeaker instead of tanks... If possible, I would rather be commanded by him than generals who only know how to count tanks and have more equipment!"

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan said: "Because I think all this is based on the idea that the British would be weaker than us!"

"Isn't it?" Rommel said with his hands spread out: "We have indeed suffered heavy losses. We have only suffered more than 70 tanks left. But our losses are worth it, because each of our tanks has destroyed several or even dozens of enemy tanks. This is our pride, Sergeant... and it is also a proof of the weakening of Britain's strength!"

"Of course I know, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "But just as we destroyed British tanks one by one... the British equipment and reinforcements were transporting ship by ship."

"You mean... the British and tanks landed?" Rommel couldn't help but stare at Qin Chuan with his eyes.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because this situation had happened on the battlefield before... we thought that the armored troops that had defeated the enemy could be out of power, but they suddenly appeared two hundred 'Stuarts', a brand new armored regiment!"

"The sergeant is right!" General Streck agreed: "They did land during the war, and we interrogated the prisoners!"
