When Catania was already in a row, Qin Chuan and others took a car to follow the Goring Armored Division toward the beachhead where the US troops were stationed.

The car was shaking forward on the uneven road surface, and a few cannons could be heard from a distance from time to time. The aperture of the explosion was like a flash of lightning.

The road was lined with cars and supplies abandoned by the US military, and there were also teams of US troops who surrendered.

"Americans don't look very good!" Werner said with a smile.

"Didn't you always insist that Americans won't participate in this war?" asked the baker.

"Please, Sgt.!" Werner replied: "No one would guess that the Japanese would attack the United States, right?"

"The Japanese are fools!" David cursed fiercely in the corner.

David and his subordinates joined the First Infantry Regiment because they were unable to return to their troops for the time being.

"Second Lieutenant!" Dominic couldn't help but object: "You seem to have forgotten the British tanks and where did the planes come from!"

"So what if that's the case?" David retorted: "You know, the British are not familiar with those American equipment, and some equipment even conflicts with their British equipment, but Americans are different!"

"Nothing different!" Werner said: "They were defeated by us, weren't they?"

As he said that, Werner raised his head to the surrendered US troops outside.

David just shook his head and said nothing.

Qin Chuan was a little surprised by what David said. He was right. The British army was defeated by the German army again and again on the battlefield in North Africa, a large part of the reason was that the equipment was not systematic or that it was not familiar with American equipment.

This may sound like a trivial matter, but on the battlefield, there are often some trivial matters that lead to a complete defeat of the entire army. For example, if the British army is equipped with the American "Stuart", the maneuver speed is too far from that of British tanks and cannot be coordinated. For example, the "General Grant" tank is easily defeated, and ultimately because the British army is not familiar with equipment.

"Second Lieutenant!" Qin Chuan asked David: "You seem to have graduated from military academy!"

"No, Captain!" David replied: "I just stayed in the United States for two years and went to college there!"

"oh!"

"Princeton!" David replied: "But because of this war..."

So everyone knew that after the war broke out, David could not continue to stay in the United States because he might be regarded as a spy by others.

"So you know something about the United States?" asked the baker.

"Yes!" David replied.

"Tell me what you think!" said the baker. "I mean, what are the best places in Americans than us?"

David couldn't help but sigh, and then replied, "You may be discouraged if you say it. Let me say some numbers that I know but are uncertain. The United States has four times the industrial capacity of Germany. Do you know what this means? If we build a tank, they can build four, and the performance is quite good, just like their Sherman tank..."

"Why don't we think about the better?" Werner said: "France has better industrial capabilities than us, but it still surrendered to us in more than a month!"

"That's different!" David said: "We can defeat France because we border France on land, and we can defeat it with a powerful army, but what about the United States? Let our tanks swim across the Atlantic?"

Everyone remained silent after hearing this.

The United States and Germany do not border on land, which means that if Germany wants to defeat the United States like it defeats France, it will have to rely on the navy and air force. However, the German navy was blocked in the port by the British navy, and the air force was almost exhausted on the battlefield against Britain and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, this battle seemed to have no hope of victory from the beginning. The United States could be assured to use its powerful industry to continuously produce more and more equipment in its own home to support the British and Soviet war against Germany, but Germany was helpless with it.

After a long time, someone said, "The Japanese are such a fool!"

Yes, the Japanese are such a fool, as for the Germans, this is true... If it weren't for dragging the Americans into the water at this time, at least Germany would have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

What Qin Chuan was thinking about in his heart was how to change this passive situation in the future.

"Captain!" Just as Qin Chuan was in deep thought, the communications soldier handed over the phone: "It's the colonel!"

"Captain!" Qin Chuan heard Colonel Slain's excited voice from the microphone as soon as he answered the phone: "Do you know? We occupied Catania, took it down at a very small price, and captured more than 6,000 people. Fortunately, we went first, and the British immediately landed there..."

This news surprised Qin Chuan. He did not expect to achieve such great results. You should know that the British infantry brigade stationed in Catania was a British infantry brigade. Even if the "Lightning Division" cooperated with the attack, it should not have fallen so quickly, and so many people surrendered.

But Qin Chuan didn't ask much. There were always many unexpected things on the battlefield, and Qin Chuan was already used to it now.

"They did a good job!" Qin Chuan said: "Next, it's time for them to buy time for us!"

"Yes!" said Colonel Slain: "I seem to have seen victory right in front of me!"

After putting down the phone, David looked at Qin Chuan blankly.

After a while, David mustered up the courage to ask Qin Chuan: "Can you ask you a question, Captain?"

"certainly!"

"Are you the 'Legendary' they call?" David asked.

"How do you know this?" Qin Chuan was a little surprised.

"You are really..." David was at a loss: "Sorry, Captain, I don't know it's you... It's an honor to see you!"

After pausing, he replied again, "Oh, it's because of the tone of talking to the colonel on the phone. Also, this is the First Infantry Division. You are using a sniper rifle. It's not common for a captain to hold a sniper rifle, right? God, I should have guessed it was you!"

There was a burst of laughter in the carriage.

"So, Lieutenant!" said Werner. "I don't think things are as pessimistic as you think. I'm talking about the American side!"

"Yes, look at us!" said the baker: "Without their strength and equipment, they are now driving them to the sea!"

"Maybe they can also drive them back to the United States!" Werner said: "I don't know if they can swim back to the United States!"

The carriage was filled with laughter soon.
