But the British did not receive more advanced tanks in the Battle of El Alamein...... This is one of the reasons why the British were only thinking about escaping on the Burmese battlefield, and they originally hoped to withdraw the armored forces located in Burma to India and transport them from India to Egypt for the North African theater.

It's just that what Churchill didn't expect was that the retreat commanded by the famous "escaped marshal" Alexander was actually defeated after constantly using the Chinese army...... The new tanks in the hands of the British almost fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

As a result, most of the tanks used by the British in the Battle of El Alamein were "Crusaders", "Matilda" and "Churchill" and "Grant".

THE CRUSADER TANK IS NOT BAD, ITS MAXIMUM SPEED IS STILL 43 KILOMETERS PER HOUR, THE DISADVANTAGE IS THAT THE ARMOR IS TOO THIN, AND THE WEAKEST POINT IS ONLY 7MM.

As for "Matilda" and "Churchill...... These two should be called "infantry tanks", as the name suggests, they are tanks used to cover the infantry to provide protection and fire support for the infantry, since it is to coordinate with the infantry, then its speed cannot be fast, otherwise the infantry will not be able to keep up. As a result, its top speed is only 13 kilometers per hour.

The speed is 13 kilometers per hour, and it is still the maximum ...... What kind of thinking is this, imagine whistling and pedaling a bicycle on the road to see the scenery at the same time.

"You know ......the result," said Abner, somewhat helplessly, "we lost the battle, and we lost it very much. We lost more than 300 tanks and armoured vehicles, and then the Germans pursued the victory...... The Germans were clever enough to know that if we were to attack we would have to remove the mines used to block our positions, their tanks would be able to move through our lines, and our artillery units were taken by surprise, and as a result we lost more than five hundred guns, which is almost half of all our guns! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi didn't know what to say, Rommel's tactic was actually very simple, just one word "fast"...... Germany's No. 2 and No. 3 tanks are actually not excellent, and even No. 2 tanks are tanks to be eliminated, but they have one thing in common: 40 kilometers per hour.

This allowed the German tanks to easily find gaps in the British lines and break through quickly.

"What's worse is ......" Abner shrugged his shoulders and said with some embarrassment, "as planned...... After breaking through the German lines, we were ready to break through and pursue the Germans with lightning speed, so we had a large amount of supplies in reserve on the second line......"

"You mean......" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be so shocked that his jaw almost dropped: "All these supplies fell into the hands of the Germans?" ”

"Yes!" Abner nodded: "This includes a large amount of gasoline!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Well done, if you fight a battle, you will let the efforts of the Air Force be in vain!" ”

The British navy and air force were trying to block supplies from Italy to North Africa in the Mediterranean, and they were doing a good job, the Germans were only getting half the supplies they expected, which was one of the important reasons why Rommel lost the Battle of El Alamein in history...... The German tanks did not even have enough gasoline for a regular transfer.

But now the British Army has helped the Germans solve this problem.

In this desert, the Germans were afraid that they would have to consume two or three barrels of oil if they carried one barrel of oil up, but the British once again carried forward the spirit of "capital enemy" in Burma.

"General!" Abner said with some dissatisfaction: "You must know that this is war, and the situation on the battlefield is not as simple as you think......"

"Colonel!" Zhang Chi replied: "I don't need you to tell me what war is!" ”

"Oh...... Be! Abner realized that his words were inappropriate, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Maybe you are right, but Rommel and his German troops ...... They are not as simple as your old adversaries! ”

"You mean the Japanese are simple?" Zhang Chi looked at Abner with some incredulity: "Have you fought with the Japanese?" ”

"No, no!" Abner's cheeks flushed a little with excitement, and he replied: "But their tanks are far inferior to those of the Germans, aren't they?" ”

"I have to warn you, Colonel!" Zhang Chi said: "Before saying these words, please recall the battlefield in Burma...... The Japanese relied on tanks that were far inferior to German tanks to defeat the British armored divisions equipped with advanced American M3 and M4 tanks! The Japanese could not even keep up with the speed of the British troops......"

Abner couldn't help but be speechless, because what Zhang Chi said was the truth.

Abner wanted to argue that the Burmese battlefield did not seem to be suitable for tank combat, but he ultimately did not say so, because if it was not suitable for tank combat, why could the Japanese crush the British army on the same terrain?

If there is a real reason, it is that the British army did not intend to fight the Japanese from the beginning at all and only wanted to escape, but how can this reason be said?

In fact, Zhang Chi is still resentful of what the British army did in Burma...... Although there is a matter of interest between countries, the British have taken "shamelessness" to the limit.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chi is not in a hurry to participate in the battle or command now, Montgomery let the Chinese army train and train, the British are not in a hurry, the Chinese do not need to be in a hurry, the battlefield is a place to lose their lives, who likes to show who to perform.

"And then you're retreating to Alexandria, aren't you?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Yes!" Abner nodded and said nothing, apparently not thinking it was a pleasant conversation and was not going to continue.

But Zhang Chi had already gotten the information he wanted.

The focus of this is on supply...... The supply of desert areas is too important, especially for Rommel, because he is fighting from Libya to Egypt, and the rear supply line is very long, plus the British army has occupied an island called Malta in the Mediterranean Sea and built an air base on the island, plus the British army has "super secrets" to know the German army's intelligence in advance, so they can attack the German supply as they want.

Rommel's army collapsed under this multiple suppression, plus Rommel himself suffered from a serious infectious disease at this time.

But everything changed at the Battle of El Alamein...... Because the Germans were supplied from the British in the Battle of El Alamein, the desperate Germans were resurrected and could launch a blitzkrieg against the British again!
