Major General Evans breathed a sigh of relief when Rommel and Garipo were fighting openly and secretly.

Because he knew very well that bombing the Italian fleet was very limited, especially the Italian fleet had a battleship and several destroyers...

On the one hand, the British army lacks dive bombers. Medium and heavy bombers are only suitable for fixed-point or carpet bombing because of their low accuracy. Not to mention the small carrying capacity of "mosquito" light bombers with high bombing accuracy, because they are made of wooden structures, and low-altitude dive bombing can easily be shot down by enemy machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery.

Therefore, if the Italian fleet forces rely on the port, the British bomber group will be helpless, and at most it will cause some losses to the Italian fleet.

But now, the Italian fleet retreated without fighting... This is tantamount to giving the British army a big gift.

At this time, Major General Evans received a telegram from Lieutenant General Greenhill: "The 7th Armored Division is on his way to Tobrook and is expected to arrive in five hours!"

Major General Evans couldn't help but feel the same as the heroes.

After the plan to seize the warehouse failed, the British army actually did not have the capital to compete with Germany and Italian troops in Libya... The British army had too many people and needed too much materials, especially fighting with the main German army, it also required a large amount of ammunition, which required possession of the materials in the warehouse.

In other words, the British army had to retreat one way to lose control of the warehouse.

And if the British army wants to retreat safely, the best way is to take down Tobrook Port.

What Lieutenant General Greenhill is doing now is retreating... Among all British troops, the armored division is the slowest. On the other hand, the armored division has the strongest combat power. Of course, it is to transfer the 7th Armored Division back to attack Tobrook with the 15th Armored Division.

Without receiving reinforcements, the two armored divisions bombed and attacked him fiercely, and there was no reason why they could not defeat him.

The news that the 7th Armored Division withdrew from the battlefield was soon spread from Rommel to Colonel Slain, and Colonel Slain had a headache when he came.

Colonel Slain took the time to take a trip to the port. He saw that the German soldiers at the port were all ready to fight with great spirit. He couldn't help but hold Bazer's hand, and then the hands of other soldiers, saying, "Well done, you have done your best!"

The soldiers all know what the saying "do your best" means.

"Is it a bad situation?" Bazel asked.

Colonel Slain did not speak, he patted his military uniform, and a piece of dust immediately rose around him... After commanding on the defense line for a night, he was almost wrapped in smoke and dust.

Then, Colonel Slain took out a map from his pocket on the inside of his military uniform and spread it on the ground. After thinking about it, he said to the adjutant: "Call that sniper, I hope he can learn more about the situation!"

"yes!"

So Qin Chuan joined this meeting, which was originally only attended by military officers.

"The British Seventh Armored Division has left the battlefield!" Slain pointed to the map and said, "In fact, they had already set out in the dark last night. Their intention was to eat us with the Fifteenth Armored Division!"

The officers were stunned when they heard this.

A fully-organized armored division of the British army had more than 20,000 people and 300 tanks. Even if there was a discount on combat losses, there would be at least 10,000 people and 100 tanks. This force joined the ranks of attacking Tobrook... Then even if Tobrook had a wall, he could not defend it.

"Will the Seventh Armored Division arrive before dawn?" Qin Chuan asked.

Colonel Slain glanced at Qin Chuan with approval... Qin Chuan asked the key point.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain replied: "I guess they will arrive in the afternoon, and then there will be half a day of attack, and our reinforcements... they will probably not enter the port after dark!"

"This time, the British are planning to launch a fierce attack on us during the day!"

"Yes!" said Colonel Slain: "They would pour all the shells into our positions, blow up barbed wire, mines and trenches, and then use tanks to cover the infantry to advance... We all know they would fight like this, but we can't stop it!"

Qin Chuan understood what Colonel Slein said. In war, tactics do need to be discussed, such as mobile defense and firepower configuration... But if the strength of the enemy and us is too disparate, then any tactics will be nonsense.

This is somewhat similar to the two boxers competing on stage: if the strengths of both sides are not much different, then choosing the right tactics can win, but if a child fights a professional boxer... no matter how good the tactics are, it will be useless.

On the battlefield of Tobrook, the German army was like a child, while the British army was a strong professional boxer.

"Maybe we have another choice!" said Colonel Slain.

"What choice?" Bazel asked.

"This is inspired by your use of cruise defense!" Colonel Slain said hesitantly: "We may choose to leave by boat and after blowing up the ammunition in the warehouse!"

The soldiers couldn't help but lit up their eyes. This was a way of life.

As Colonel Slain said before, they had tried their best, and it would not be a shame to escape at this time.

But Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "The British will soon discover that Tobrook has many British eyeliners!"

There is no doubt about this. Underground organizations are one of them, and there may even be British spies... Britain is an old country of intelligence, and no one can compare to him in terms of intelligence.

"What they want is Tobrook, maybe they don't care where we go!" said the adjutant.

Bazel smiled and said, "Maybe not before this, but after we seized their strongholds and bombed the warehouses, and then captured Tobrook and affected the logistics of their entire army... do you think the British would let us go?"

After Bazel said this, the officers stopped talking.

"So!" Colonel Slain added: "The result of our actions was to be hunted by the British Air Force and then buried under the sea!"

"Why don't we choose to do this at night..." said the adjutant.

Colonel Slain glanced at the adjutant and said, "The point is that we must be able to persevere until evening. Lucas, if we can persevere until evening... we don't even have to escape because our 'Italian friends' dare to drive the warship into the port and send reinforcements to us!"

"Is there no way for reinforcements?" Kuhn still held a glimmer of hope.
