"I can't believe it!" Werner carefully leaned out of the trenches, looked at the "Matilda" tanks that were blown up by the British army, and said, "They are really blowing up their own tanks..."

"We have successfully deceived them!" Alphredo couldn't help but cheer: "I just said we can do it..."

"Shut your mouth!" Bazel lowered his voice and shouted to Alphredo, "Do you want the British to hear it?"

"Yes, sir!" Alphredo hurriedly closed his mouth and hid in the trench, but he still couldn't hide his joy. He clenched his fists in the trench and shouted excitedly: "God, I can't believe that we have really succeeded, we are saved..."

Qin Chuan guessed it right. The British pulled out the tank's gasoline and then blew it up, so the tank did not catch fire, at most some black smoke... The British were not worried that these tanks would be seized and used by the German army. If they wanted to repair the broken tanks and put them on the battlefield, it would be more difficult than re-producing one, so the wreckage of these tanks would be used as scrap iron at most.

Then the British sorted out their luggage, which means abandoning all unnecessary things, such as wine, unnecessary clothing, and too many canned corned beef... The most lacking in the desert is always water and fuel. People can survive for one week without food, but only for three days without water. This time in the desert may be shorter. Fuel is something that can drive the car, and both are indispensable.

In addition, unnecessary ammunition, such as tank gun shells... The tanks are all blown up, so of course the tank gun shells will not be used.

This saves a lot of space and then puts the soldiers into the car... But even so the car is still insufficient, so people are hung on the top and outside of the car, and some people have to sit on the cannons tucked by the car. The soldiers who failed to get on the car were anxiously walking on the side of the road while watching passing vehicles, hoping that a few more people could be stuffed into their anxious eyes, even if they tied them up with a rope and dragged them away.

After working for more than half an hour, the British army left like a gust of wind, leaving only the wreckage of tanks that were once majestic and now dejected, as well as the garbage abandoned by British soldiers on the ground. When a gust of wind blew, a few clothes that were very inconsistent with the desert rose in the wind and flew into the sky like kites and left with the wind.

Only then did the German soldiers burst into cheers, and the soldiers shouted for victory.

Qin Chuan was sitting in the trench as if exhausted. The heat coming from the ground made Qin Chuan a little unbearable, but he still enjoyed it motionless... He didn't want to destroy the feeling of this moment, the feeling of safety.

There was a cigarette in front of him, and Qin Chuan looked up and saw that it was Alphredo.

"Thank you!" Qin Chuan said and took the cigarette, and then the two lit each other.

"I should say thank you, Sgt.!" Alphredo said: "You saved my life many times!"

"Don't thank me for anything?" Qin Chuan replied: "I just want to save my life, just like you!"

"I know!" Alphredo nodded: "And they..."

As he said that, Alphredo turned his eyes to other German soldiers and said thoughtfully: "They are actually no different, they just want to save their lives!"

"You just realized it?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No, I knew it from the beginning!" Alphredo replied: "It's just... I've always been used to using another method to achieve this."

"The habits of the Italian army?" Qin Chuan smiled. Italy almost wiped out the entire First Infantry Regiment. Now I think about it and feel scared.

"Yes!" Alphredo nodded: "I always felt that the method was correct. Everyone should consider their own lives, right? It's natural!"

After pausing, Alphredo continued: "But at that moment, when I saw that the Italian Navy had so many warships and so many troops, and could defeat the enemy, but chose to escape and leave us, I suddenly understood that although choosing that method is easier and safer, it is to base my own survival on the death of others. This made me understand one thing... your method is correct!"

"Then..." Qin Chuan looked at Alphredo's pistol and asked, "Is it still not bullets?"

"No, of course not!" Alphredo laughed and raised his pistol: "I have loaded it with bullets, but it still has no chance to show its skills!"

"Congratulations!" Qin Chuan said, feeling that Alphredo was indeed different.

"Thank you, Sergeant!" Alphredo said with emotion: "If it weren't for you, I would have no chance or the courage to face all this. This may be a bit stingy, but you are my role model!"

Qin Chuan smiled. What Alphredo didn't know was that his previous performance of weakness was actually the real Qin Chuan... Qin Chuan had to turn himself into a "role model" that everyone saw in order to survive, so Qin Chuan never thought he was great.

It was not until then that Colonel Slain called Rommel.

"We are victorious, General!" said Colonel Slain.

"What?" Rommel asked, "Victory?"

"Yes!" Colonel Slain replied: "The British retreated!"

"But... how is that possible?" Rommel asked.

Colonel Slein never reported to Rommel for the sake of keeping the plan confidential, so Rommel knew nothing. He was still worried that Italian reinforcements were unwilling to return to Hong Kong, thinking that if this continued, Tobrook would definitely be over.

Even just now, when Rommel answered the phone and heard Colonel Slein's voice, he thought Colonel Slein was giving him the final report, but unexpectedly, what he heard was the news of victory, which surprised Rommel as if he had won a grand prize.

"General!" Colonel Slain replied: "Just like you did in Tripoli, we pretended that reinforcements had entered the port, and then the British retreated..."

"Good idea!" Rommel shouted excitedly: "Great, Colonel! You have done a great job, keep holding on to Tobrook, and we will go and meet you right away!"

Almost at the same time, on the road to Egypt, Lieutenant General Greenhill, who was shaking forward in an armored vehicle, received an information from the listening department. After taking a look at the information, Lieutenant General Greenhill's face changed drastically and his mouth was open for a long time but he couldn't close it.

"What's wrong? Lieutenant General!" asked the staff officer.

"No, nothing!" Lieutenant General Greenhill was stunned for a moment, then he kneaded the information in his hand into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket.
