So with a roar, the German tanks one after another emitted black smoke or exploded directly into a ball of flames. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 From time to time, a few surviving German soldiers, some with flames, crawled out of the destroyed tank, but they were quickly killed by the expeditionary soldiers...... With a distance of only a few tens or even a dozen meters, this is just a piece of cake for the soldiers of the expeditionary force, they don't even need to aim, and as soon as the muzzle of the gun is raised, they can easily knock them to the ground.

As for the German support infantry that followed behind the tanks...... They exist to protect the tank and make up for the tank's lack of external perception, and at the same time, they also have to rely on the protection of the tank, and once the tank is destroyed, they are almost exposed to the powerful fire of the enemy tank and become lambs to the slaughter.

Seeing this scene in Heinz's blue eyes, he couldn't help but be angry and anxious.

He was angry that he didn't expect the Chinese armored regiment to hide on the retreating route of the British armored regiment in the first place, so that the armored division stepped into the trap set by the Chinese army.

What's in a hurry...... There are not many German tanks and armored vehicles themselves, and it can even be said that there are not many German infantry, and at the same time, because the prime minister does not pay attention to the North African battlefield and the logistics supply is very difficult, these tanks can be said to be destroyed by one less one, if this kind of fighting continues, I am afraid that the German Afrika Korps will be seriously damaged and unable to recover.

"General!" At this time, a signal soldier reported: "Tank Group 4 has arrived, but we are too mixed to participate in the battle, Colonel Cole asks for instructions!" ”

Heinz Landau gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order Colonel Cole, be ready to cover the retreat of the troops!" ”

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Heinz Landau gave another order: "Tank groups No. 2 and No. 3...... Withdraw from the fight! ”

"Yes!"

"Where are the anti-aircraft guns?" Heinz asked.

"We're still five kilometers away, and we're coming at full speed!"

"Prepare for battle on the spot!"

"Yes!"

……

Soon there was an uproar on the battlefield, with German soldiers firing rows of smoke grenades from mortars, and then the tanks quickly turned around and retreated.

Of course, the Chinese armored regiment would not let go of this good opportunity, and after a close pursuit, it added a dozen tanks to the results, and then collided head-on with the German No. 4 tank ready for defense.

The performance of the No. 4 tank was comparable to that of the "Sherman" in all aspects, but at this time the German No. 4 tank had only about 20 tanks, while the Chinese armored regiment still had more than 50 "Shermans", almost two or even more against the Germans, and after a burst of artillery fire, eight No. 4 vehicles were killed.

Then the German tank group No. 4 retreated in reverse gear in smoke bombs......

"Stop the pursuit!" Zhang Chi ordered.

"Stop the pursuit!"

……

The order was passed down step by step, and the Chinese armored regiment quickly stopped its tracks.

"Vice-Commander!" Wu Min's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Why did it stop?" Let's catch up for a while like they chased the British, and we can fight a dozen more cars! ”

"Don't chase any of them!" Zhang Chi ordered: "Return to the place where you are!" ”

"Yes!" Wu Min had no choice but to respond.

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Zhang Chi secretly praised the German army's sophistication in tank warfare in his heart...... Even when they were caught off guard, they were still able to set up layers of obstacles and retreat calmly, and Zhang Chi even saw that the German soldiers had laid mines behind.

So if this is a pursuit, it is not the same thing as the Germans chasing the British...... The British army was really routing, but the Germans were able to do it in an orderly manner, and even if they pursued it, they were afraid that they would run into the defensive line arranged by the Germans with anti-aircraft guns, and then they were afraid that they would "turn victory into defeat".

On the other end, Heinz Landao, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the Chinese armored regiment had not caught up, because this meant that he could not get his face back.

If last night's battle capsized in the gutter because of ignorance of the strength of the Chinese armored regiment, then today's battle ...... It was a collision of two steel units, and it turned out that the strength of the Chinese armored regiment was not only not "infantry in tanks", but its combat effectiveness was also superior to that of the German armored forces.

In this battle, the Germans left more than 70 tanks in the desert, eight of which were No. 4 tanks, while the Chinese army only lost 11 tanks, three of which had mechanical problems after being attacked and could be put into service again after minor repairs.

So there was no doubt that the Chinese army had once again won a big victory.

"General!" Then Heinz Landau sent a telegram to Rommel: "I request to withdraw the line of defense, our plan has completely failed!" ”

Rommel, who was still anxiously waiting for the results of the battle, understood what was happening when he saw this telegram, and couldn't help but stay in place for a long time without reacting.

Rommel had been preparing for this interlude for a long time, and he was originally determined to win Maherama...... The capture of Mani Hairama would not only demoralize the British and cut off Cairo from Port Said and Alexandria, but also replenish the dwindling supplies of the German army.

But now, not only did they get nothing, but they also lost a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.

After a moment of silence, Rommel called back: "Excuse me!" ”

Because Rommel knew very well that there was no point in continuing this battle...... The 21st Panzer Division lost nearly 200 tanks, which made the entire Panzer Division only have more than 100 tanks, while the Chinese Panzer Regiment and the British Panzer Regiment combined had almost this number of tanks, which means that the strength of the two is equal.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the British armored regiment should be discounted, but it is basically impossible to annihilate these two armored regiments in a short time, and once the British follow-up reinforcements arrive, the 21st armored division is afraid that it will be completely annihilated.

Therefore, Rommel could only admit defeat and give up Maherama.

So at the sound of an order, the German 21st Panzer Regiment turned around and retreated westward, and the dejected German soldiers formed a strong contrast with the self-confidence when they came.

As soon as the Germans moved, Zhang Chi's side soon got the information:

"General!" Abner excitedly reported: "The Germans retreated, this time it was true, our reconnaissance planes detected their retreat to the west!" ”

Cheers soon rang out around the dunes, but most of the cheers were shouted by British soldiers...... One by one, they excitedly threw their helmets into the air, and one by one they rushed to hug each other, as if they had won the battle just now.
