"km! General! Our security forces have exchanged fire with the enemy, but we can’t stop the Englishman Mathilda, "said the major of the Defence Force with two canine teeth in his mouth eagerly."
"Mathilda", haven’t they been restored in the local production line? "Logan picked up the cap and suddenly a Zha tingle in his mind. Damn it, the British must have transported a lot of production equipment to Africa, not just Canada! Maybe the production line that can produce and assemble every component of Mathilda 44 is roaring somewhere along the Suez River at this time, while the German high command is still winning in Britain, and its eyes are smug and frivolous in distant Moscow!
"Let’s go! General! We have prepared an armored car for you! "Tiger Tooth" is very eager to say that when Logan’s own adjutant Auguste appeared at the door with a briefcase, Logan walked out quickly and asked, "What about General Rommel?"
"Should still be in the front line but we can’t contact him for the time being! We seem to be coming from another direction in the face of this British army! Tiger tooth "urgent and not disorderly ground to say.
Through the paper-flying war room, Logan came to the gate of the headquarters. A semi-crawler armored vehicle was sitting with several deputy armed guards and Rommel Line. Compared with it, there was no loop antenna at the top.
Coming out of the landlord’s face, the guns really became clearer. "Tiger’s teeth" suddenly said, "General, you go first and we will arrive later."
When Logan got into the car and the armored car roared in the opposite direction of the guns, how could he not think of the experience during the French campaign and the brothers who had lived and died with him? Now Steven Berg, deputy chief of staff of the 7th Paratrooper Division, Ella has completed the course of the Infantry NCO School. In the newly-established 1st Descended Division, Lieutenant platoon leader Fritz was promoted to the rank of sergeant because of his outstanding performance in the British War. tobias, grotte and so on remembered these familiar names. Suddenly, Logan felt limited in his heart. Perhaps before Barbarossa, he should find an opportunity to call these old comrades together and talk about taking care of them as much as possible. Once the Soviet-German war broke out, I don’t know how many familiar faces would become eternal memories!
Less than ten minutes later, the armored vehicle slowed down. Durogan heard Italian mixed with German shouting outside the carriage, carefully poked out his head and saw a large group of soldiers wearing Italian paratroopers. The difference between the Italian soldiers who panicked at the sound of guns and the Italian soldiers was that they were marching eastward with sleeves and weapons.
Logan let the driver "get the door in the carriage and shout in German! ※ "which unit be you?
"Italian Parachute Regiment!" A soldier with a magazine-type ammunition belt hanging around his neck and a Brayda blade rifle in his hand replied high.
This is the Tognini Army! Logan quickly asked, "where is your head?"
"regimental headquarters in the back but I’m afraid the head is not there! He personally took the troops to the front! " The soldier was fluent in German, answered Logan’s question and followed his companions forward quickly!
If all Italian soldiers can be like this army … Rogan shook his head and no one can change this. If Italian leaders have great ambitions and can command their troops, they don’t have the basic elements needed for a large-scale war!
Armored vehicles continued to bump westward in the roar, and the open carriage was quickly covered with a layer of dust and walked for about a powerful kilometer. It is estimated that Logan has left the dangerous area and asked them to stop at a small village. There is German traffic here. There is such a long road leading to the front line in Benghazi. It is common to help transfer an infantry squad, a machine gun, one or two cars and vehicles that often March in the desert in auto spare parts to throw cobalt.
"What’s the situation?" As he walked, Logan twisted the water and poured water into his mouth.
A soldier in charge of this small traffic was surprised to see a major general of the German army appear in front of him, and his eyes were even wider when he realized that this man appeared in the German Pictorial.
"Er" General reported that we should be on alert and there was no other news! "
"well! Can this make sense? " Logan looked at the antique hand-cranked words and asked
Thin and freckled, many sergeants quickly picked up the microphone and shook the handle for a moment before he said "pass!" to Logan.
Logan took the microphone. "This is Hans Logan. Get us General Rommel’s headquarters!"
It’s a pity that the operator obviously hasn’t got the news that the minister of military war has arrived in North Africa. He asked a few questions in confusion and handed over the decision to his level, but the poor officer was not sure that it took several minutes to tell him that the wired way to the headquarters was connected!
Logan was not annoyed at this situation. He shook his head. "It seems that they are still on the way!"
"Did we lose the battle?" Sergeant asked in fear and trembling.
"Not sure yet!" Logan shrugged his shoulders and arrived at both sides in the flat desert. Mechanized troops could travel at tens of kilometers per hour. Rommel’s limited troops were surrounded by interspersed troops. Even if there were fish escaping from the net, it was not surprising that the German army attacked and scouted before dark. The British troops were not planned in Tobruk Fiona Fang Baili, but if reinforcements were forced, British tanks would leave Egypt in the middle of the night and arrive at the periphery of Tobruk! Guns in the distance sound a little far away. In the east night, you can see a burst of light. Logan smokes silently. He prefers a battle that is all in his own hands rather than in front of him. Fortunately, the situation has survived the last few months of Lebanon. The familiar buzz finally came from the sky. When I first saw those German fighters painted with the iron cross logo, Logan was in an absolute disadvantage compared with the historical allied forces. It is not difficult to figure out that the German army had two fighters to attack the German officers and men.
After dawn, the communication was gradually restored. Rommel and his main force swept the outer defense line of the British army in Tobruk in the night battle and successfully intercepted the 6-joint behind Tobruk, thus completing the encirclement of the port and fortress. After midnight, the British armored forces arrived in Tobruk with the intention of outflanking the German attack troops. One of them, the armored regiment of the German Pea Division, passed each other in the dark, and the Italian paratroopers stubbornly blocked the British attack in the German guard force, which was delayed. For half an hour, the cunning Rommel seized the opportunity that an armored battalion and two motorized infantry battalions raided the rear of the British army and arranged three battery batteries along the way. As a result, the British army lost more than 40 tanks and more than 1,000 soldiers instead of solving the Tobruk siege, but Rommel’s troops also lost nearly half of the tanks this night. The fact proves once again that the tank root of the second armored division is not suitable for tank fighting. Fortunately, in addition to the German army’s "sharpening" the first heavy regiment, the SS will also send a main armored battalion of the fourth tank to North Africa, while the Italian high command has decided to attack Greece.
Chapter 9 Desert Storm ()
Let a female fleet composed of Spanish ships find a fox in the afternoon in Benghazi port, North Africa, which is also the first naval operation carried out by the Spanish government to join the Axis camp!
Thanks to the help of the Spanish navy, the second heavy member of the German army’s drop-in instructor arrived in Benghazi, the North African port.
This is the fourth day after the failure of the German siege of Tobruk for the first time. Although the German bomber forces attacked the Italian army and sent three heavy artillery regiments to participate in the war, Rommel commanded the German African army to break through the depression. On the contrary, 10,000 British troops stubbornly stuck to the fortress area. On the contrary, mutual tanks and Feng armored vehicles were completely destroyed and injured, and many tanks and armored vehicles were sent for repair, so that the German maintenance technicians could rest for just a few hours every day. The German army quickly transported a large number of parts to the transport plane!
Fortunately, at this time, the Italian allies of the German army jointly controlled the North African system from ship unloading, knot, marching to battlefield knot. This armored regiment, which is the main force of the National Defence Force and is close to the SS in terms of weapons allocation, should also have adequate logistics such as blocking fuel all the way. In addition to participating in the Gibraltar war, some German troops’ Spanish fleets also brought in heavy and heavy bombs that the German army bombed Gibraltar before-these are all powerful weapons to deal with the solid fortress!
"Not bad, not bad!"
Rommel’s eyes also showed envy when he watched the No.4 tank with a long barrel gun with a diameter of millimeters rumbling towards Tobruk fortress beside Logan. The amount of military money that the German army gained each year was staggering according to the head ratio. The former army commander-in-chief and imperial marshal Herman Goering did his best in grabbing resources. Now, Xiao Hu Yuan is personally responsible for the commander-in-chief of the army and there is a great victory in the British war, and his support for army building has increased!
Judging from the dust covers at the motor exhaust ports of these newly arrived German tanks in Africa, it’s no surprise that they appear. Temporary adjustment of the "foresight" of the Imperial Army War Minister Rogan gave himself a personal gift in a very special way. "This unit will abandon the service boundaries and be under your jurisdiction until the general is assigned by the high command!"
Rommel, who has always been self-confident, can’t hide his joy at this moment. "That’s great!" You brought us fresh water in the dry season and quilts in the cold winter! General Logan, respect the Minister of War. Thank you so much! "
In front of the line of sight, groups of "black death" roared past and accurately threw tons of armor-piercing bullets at the British fortress. The huge explosion made the desert tremble and the vast sea behind the smoke column set off against each other, giving people a unique landscape and deep feelings!
Rommel Logan, who is in the career advancement, did not hesitate to praise "We believe that such an army will be tempered into fine steel in your hands, while North Africa and the whole Africa will tremble in the German team!"
Rommel naturally high-spirited wind "well! Nattobruk is an important step for us to win! We must cross this obstacle! "
It is more exciting to witness Germany’s victory in North Africa than to help an excellent general become a "military god". Logan’s spirit lies in a deeper level.
From Lebanon to noon, the German bomber units in North Africa took turns to attack the first light bomber wing Stuka and dropped more than tons of high-explosive bombs. Not only were the British peripheral positions riddled with holes, but even the fortress commanding heights "Venice Palace" were blown into ruins by several 2-doze-class aerial bombs. At noon, the German drop-off instructor’s first heavy-duty regiment, Tian Yu’s tank arrows, were put into attack. Rommel told two light divisions to rest and then re-enter the battle. The Ram armored division of the Italian Alietta armored division also put its main force into this battle. The battle of Tobruk in the fortress battle is different from the street fighting around some European cities. In the battle of attacking trench positions and barbed wire with guns, tanks can swing higher than infantry, and the casualties are far lower than ordinary infantry.
Fierce fighting continued until sunset, when the first German No.4 tank sailed gently over a hill and the magnificent sea suddenly appeared in front of us. The Germans had already paid the price that one tank and armored vehicle were destroyed and wounded, and more than 200 infantry were killed. The Italians were also responsible for attacking from the south, and they lost a lot of heavy 3 tons of fierce ant witch light tanks and about tons of small concave medium tanks in the British anti-tank gun resistance. However, in this battle,
Their performance will not disappoint the leaders in Rome too much! Sail … one
Although the fall of Tobruk had great British desperate resistance to the "conventional" swing of the German army, in the end, more than 10,000 officers and men were captured and more than 100,000 tons of important military materials, including a large amount of fuel and guns and ammunition originally seized from the Italian army, were handed over to the German-Italian Coalition forces. The Italians deliberately arranged for these British prisoners to trek for many kilometers to Benghazi, where they set up a simple prison camp, and most of them were faced with being sent to Italy to dig coal or. The tragic fate of being visited by the public is even worse. It was sunk by its own submarine on the way of shipping. With the decline of the Royal Navy’s surface fleet, there are more than 120 submarines. The British submarine force has sprung up suddenly. When German naval vessels and ships were active again in the North Sea and the English Channel and Atlantic Ocean, they gained a total of 10,000 tons in the first two months of the year, catching up with Deng Nici’s "water fleet"!
In the case of sufficient supply, Rommel wanted to wait for the recovery from the previous stage. After the general’s heavy regiment was incorporated into the squad, he asked the communication officer to send a simple and elegant letter to the Italian frontline commander, and led 10,000 German officers and men together with urine. Your tanks, trucks with armored vehicles, and anti-aircraft guns with different doors flew towards the Syrian-Egyptian border. Under the cover of German fighter planes, Stuka bombers and moral troops ran over the boundary pillar in one day and then retreated to Musaid. The first British army corps fought hard. Except for the limited-scale town, the terrain in the west of Egypt is still a mess. From the map of Hela, the Japanese tanks and cars will be chased by the German military intelligence if they leave the bunker, while the Royal Army "Gladiator" and the British Royal Army will be chased by the German military.
In the ground battle, the No.4 tank equipped by the Army Heavy Equipment Regiment showed far better performance than No.2, The combat effectiveness of the No.3 tank, especially that they are millimeter long-barrel guns, firmly occupied the wind during the improved confrontation of the British army "Mathilda April 4th". The only headache for the army tanks is probably that the filter screen can prevent some things, but the observation holes and power components will still be affected to some extent. When these tanks shipped from Spain accumulated over kilometers in the desert, serious component wear and mechanical failure caused them to be greatly reduced. When Rommel had seen Sidi Belanyi Port from a distance, the number of armored vehicles and trucks that could be put into combat was reduced by half.
To people’s surprise, Rommel only let his soldiers rest for an hour, that is, he attacked the British troops who were building defensive positions outside Sidi Belanyi in the midday sun!
This time, the German army once again received sufficient fire support. In the wave after wave of indiscriminate bombing in Stuka, many British officers and men’s psychological defense lines collapsed. They spent a lot of money to buy large-caliber anti-tank guns from the United States, but they failed to swing what they should. You know, when the Germans won this victory, they could still move tanks, but their physical strength almost reached the critical point of human physiology! While winning a beautiful victory, Rommel himself added a general star and made a contribution behind the scenes. Logan was summoned by the high command the next day after the German captured Sidi Belanyi port. Limited by that unlucky "flight ban", he had to take a bus back to Tobruk, where he changed to a German navy submarine, and then spent a day in the sea half as slow as the dolphins. As a result, when he landed in southern Italy, he got the news that the German army had invaded Greece and what he knew about history. Different from this German attack, the reason was not that Yugoslavia was not conducive to the German coup, but that the Italian counterattack was defeated by the Greek and British Coalition forces. More than 200,000 Italian troops surrendered in Albania near the Greek border. Seeing that Albania had been able to resist the Coalition forces and accumulated a lot of war materials, the arrogant Italian leader finally bowed his head and asked his younger brother for help.
This time, the elite troops of Yu Wande, who are preparing to fight against the Soviet Union in the southern line, have joined the Axis camp from Bulgaria and Yugoslavia before the coup. The former Yugoslavia has already announced its participation in the Axis government, which has made heavy troops hoard the Albanian border. Before the war, the British and Greek Coalition forces felt that the prospects were bleak.
