Qin Chuan, who was still guarding the oil field, certainly didn't know the changes in the outside world. He just felt a little strange... The bombing of the oil field by the British and American troops gradually decreased.

Originally it was once a day or even several times, but now it is only a few days before you can see the shadow of B14 every other day.

One of them even caused losses to the exploration team... A bomb accurately hit the derrick and collapsed the entire derrick. In addition, the drilling rig of a derrick was hit by shrapnel, and the circulation system was damaged and unable to perform normal operations.

The so-called circulation system is a system that takes the broken rock chips of the drill bit to the ground in time. If there is a problem with this system, the drill bit will soon be filled with rock fragments that it hits out of itself and cannot move at the bottom of the well.

So only three of the five derricks can still work properly.

Although the members of the exploration team were still full of confidence because of the encouragement of oil seedlings, Buckhouse frowned all day long.

Looking at his appearance, Qin Chuan asked: "Is there any problem, professor?"

"Tell me, Captain!" Professor Buckhouse looked at no one around and asked Qin Chuan: "Are we just doing useless work because of a lie to deceive the enemy?"

"Is there any difference?" Qin Chuan asked back: "We did have a plan to deceive the enemy and also deceive the exploration team, but your data is real, and the several locations where you dug wells are calculated from the correct data, right?"

"certainly!"

"Then..." Qin Chuan asked again: "Does these drilling wells produce oil have anything to do with the lies we have formulated?"

Hearing this, Professor Buckhouse was stunned. Qin Chuan was right... Oil seedlings are indeed lies, but drilling will not be unable to produce oil or oil because of this lie.

If there is any impact, it is that the exploration team members are more active because of this lie.

At this time, Colonel Slain's jeep stopped in front of the two of them with a slight dust. He jumped out of the car and asked loudly, "Hey, Professor. Are everything going well?"

"Everything goes well, Colonel!" Professor Buckhouse replied: "We have already hit a thousand,100 meters!"

"Very good!" Colonel Slain joked: "I'm waiting for good news!"

"I hope so!" Professor Buckhouse replied, and then walked away tactfully.

"They have a large number of American reinforcements!" Colonel Slain walked to Qin Chuan and said.

"A warship?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No, according to our intelligence, it is an infantryman!" Colonel Slain replied.

"Infantry?" Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard this.

It should be said that more infantry sent to North Africa is useless, because even the British knew at this time that the tunnel fortifications on the Gabes line could not be solved by more infantry.

"We estimate... they may land in Sicily!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Because they conduct frequent reconnaissance in Sicily, in the air and on the sea!"

"Maybe, they are just preparing for another naval battle!" Qin Chuan said: "You know, if they want to break through the Tunisia Strait, they also need to understand the situation in Sicily!"

The reason why Qin Chuan thought so was that the Allies in history attacked Sicily after the victory of the North African battle.

"Maybe!" said Colonel Slein: "But if they were to break through the Tunisian Strait, they should not add infantry, but naval. And now, their navy has indeed increased, but most of the increase is for landing transport ships!"

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this. It seemed that the British were really trying to attack Sicily.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan felt more and more likely.

Now the development of the battle situation has developed in a direction that is conducive to Algeria's defense. For example, there are more and more tunnel fortifications on the Gabe defense line, the German air force has become stronger because the 24th Air Wing was transferred back to Sicily, and the fuel has increased exponentially due to the support of Hitler, and there is also the oil being excavated...

The British really might not be able to chew the Gabes defense line or break through the Tunisian Strait, so they chose to attack Sicily, which may be one of the reasons why they reduced the number and intensity of bombing the Timlager Basin.

In other words, the Allies are no longer like history, and they can't wait to start attacking Sicily when the North African battle is victorious.

Perhaps, because Qin Chuan "discovered" oil in the Timlager Basin, the British forced the attack on Sicily in order to continue cutting off the African Legion's transportation lines.

At this time, a motorcycle drove to the two of them, and after a communications soldier carried the motorcycle, he hurriedly ran to Colonel Slein to salute, and then reported: "Col. The telegram from the command center will ask you and the captain to go to the command center for a meeting immediately!"

Colonel Slain took the telegram and looked at it, then said to Qin Chuan: "It seems that there is something urgent. The command center will pick up our plane in half an hour. You go and prepare!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

In fact, there was nothing to prepare for. It was to assign the safety tasks of the explorers to Kuhn, and then rushed to the camp by Colonel Slein's jeep.

The two of them had to smoke a cigarette in a hurry. A transport plane fell from the sky with a whistling sound, and then jumped on the ground for a few times and stopped more than one hundred meters away from the two.

This is a Juncker 52 transport aircraft, which comes with three engines... one on each of the wings on both sides and one on the nose.

Although it looks weird, it makes the aircraft safe, because even if two of the engines are broken or malfunctioned, it can still fly back to the camp with the only remaining engine.

Another thing is that its landing gear cannot be folded... This seems to be a disadvantage, but it is also an advantage.

The disadvantage is that the landing gear outside will affect the speed of the aircraft and will consume more fuel.

The advantage is that the landing gear is simple and sturdy, and can land roughly in uneven field fields.

Rommel often took this transport plane to patrol his troops in the desert. If he saw some lazy troops, he would order the plane to land anywhere and scold the officers and soldiers before flying back to the air to continue patrolling.

Once, Rommel was patrolling because it was dark and mistakenly thought the British soldiers were lazy. He was about to land and recognized the enemy from his helmet and flew back into the air again.
