Message from OKW HQ:

Date: April 24, 1941

Situation Report: The British have formed a last ditch defensive perimeter at Bardia. Your advance has outpaced our abilities to resupply and refit our units. If the enemy holds Bardia and manages a counterattack on our forces, we will have little chance of holding the ground that you have so valiantly won. 

Operational Orders: You must drive the enemy from the positions around Bardia. This will enable us to establish a strong defensive perimeter of our own so that we can withstand any efforts of our enemy to regain any territory.
