If any students think that the Italian army has a strong combat power, they can check the history of World War II by themselves.

I think there is a very bad phenomenon in the current social atmosphere, that is, some people always think that being different is the truth, and they think that everything has inside information. For example, everyone thinks that the Italian army is not good at combat effectiveness, and suddenly one jumps out and says that the facts are not the case, the truth is what is the truth... This is how to attract attention. But the facts are there. Soldiers always write books based on a large amount of information. It cannot be said that every battle has a considerable number of actual combat as the background. If you have any questions, please add information by yourself. Thank you!

"It seems that we have the only choice to stay here!" Bazel glanced at Colonel Slein and said, "Col. Don't worry! We will not let the British get any supplies, including those left by the Italians!"

"The supplies of the Italians?" Colonel Slein was a little curious.

"Yes!" said Bazel. "We found some equipment left by Italians in the warehouse. This was once an Italian port, right?"

Colonel Slain couldn't help but say "Oh" and then smiled and said, "The Italians must have left their supplies to the British intact!"

"Does these supplies contain military uniforms and helmets?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" Bazel nodded: "The British have brought all the useful things such as fuel and food to the front line, and the rest are the garbage!"

The officers yelled in a silence, and they were proud of the Italian army at all times.

Only Colonel Slain felt that Qin Chuan's question was not that simple, so he asked, "Is there any problem with this, Sergeant?"

"No, no...no...no problem!" Qin Chuan said: "I was just wondering if we had reinforcements, would the British still attack!"

"What does it mean?" Colonel Slain looked at Qin Chuan in confusion: "Of course they will attack!"

"I don't think so!" Qin Chuan said: "If we had enough reinforcements, the British attack would turn into an adventure."

"Explain it!" Colonel Slain raised his head at Qin Chuan.

"You have to know that the Tobrook's defense line is very strong!" Qin Chuan explained: "We control the warehouse and ammunition supply is also sufficient. If we have enough troops... we can pour a large number of bullets and shells into the enemy, including anti-tank shells. The British's "Matilda" tanks obviously cannot withstand such an attack!"

The officers who said Qin Chuan could understand that this did not mean that the German artillery fire could penetrate the "Matilda" tank. In fact, it was difficult for British anti-tank guns to penetrate the "Matilda" front armor at close range.

The problem is... "Matilda" has a high failure rate in high temperature environments, especially when the British attack was on the afternoon when the temperature was the highest... If there were fierce artillery fire at this time, not to mention anything else, even if the ground was bumped into a pot, it would be enough for "Matilda" to eat.

"So!" Qin Chuan continued: "If we have sufficient troops, the British army has every reason to believe that the possibility of them taking Tobrook is very low. If they forcefully attack, they are facing a large number of infantry attacking our machine gun positions over the faulty tanks, which proves to be invalid!"

"It's like the Battle of the Somme!" Kuhn said.

The Battle of Somme was a classic battle in World War I. In this battle, the German army arranged a Marks machine gun every 100 meters, and shot more than 100,000 British troops in six days... Since then, the cluster charge has been considered invalid, thus comprehensively rewriting the army's offensive tactics.

"In other words!" Qin Chuan nodded and continued: "In this case, the British must consider whether they can take Tobrook in a short time, otherwise they will be surrounded by the main force led by General Rommel... and if they do not choose to attack, they will still have time and enough fuel to escape. I mean, they can throw the tanks and leave the fuel for cars, which will increase their marching speed in a series..."

"The problem is that we don't have enough troops!" Bazer interrupted Qin Chuan: "The fact is that we only have more than a thousand people, and many of them are wounded people who have lost their combat capabilities. They can trample us to death like an ant!"

There is no doubt about this. Two armored divisions are facing a thousand exhausted German troops, and the main British troops will continue to flow... So what Bazer said is definitely a fact. The British army can almost take Tobrook with just one charge, and it will not take more than an hour.

But the key to the problem is not here.

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "But what if the British thought our reinforcements had arrived?"

Upon hearing this, the officers couldn't help looking at each other.

After a long time, Bazer said: "If the British thought our reinforcements had arrived, they would probably give up the attack and choose to escape!"

"So all we have to do is convince the British that our reinforcements have arrived!" Coon continued.

"But how can we convince the British!" Lucas said: "Their air force has driven away reinforcements, and they may even send reconnaissance planes to follow them all the way!"

The adjutant said that it was not so easy for the British to be fooled, and the British Air Force also had this condition... The "mosquito" reconnaissance aircraft can fly continuously in the air for more than ten hours, so the British would not be fooled so easily.

So the officers turned their attention to Qin Chuan again.

Qin Chuan replied: "They can see the surface warships, but they can't see the submarines underwater!"

"But the Italians didn't send submarines at all!" Lucas opposed.

The officers looked at Lucas like they were looking at monsters, and Lucas asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, Lucas!" said Colonel Slein, "You didn't say anything wrong, you just didn't figure it out, the point is that the British didn't know if the Italians sent submarines, and we won't let them know!"

"This is a good idea!" Bazer said: "We can claim to the outside world that submarines send reinforcements, and we are blocking the port, and no one knows if there are actually submarines!"

"The Italian military uniforms and helmets can be used!" Kuhn said: "We can let our soldiers wear those military uniforms and those helmets, and even carry Italian Manlisha rifles in neat formations and go through Tobrook to reinforce the defense line!"

Qin Chuan nodded and added: "We can make some dummies on the position and let them wear Italian helmets and Italian military uniforms..."

"Then our soldiers returned to the port and walked again, so there was another batch of reinforcements!"

"Yes, just like General Rommel tricked the British with fake tanks in Tripoli!"

...

"Can we deceive the British?" Bazel asked with some concern.
