Chapter 676

Italy's top commander in North Africa was killed in battle, and in the rear, who should be sent to replace field marshal Balbo is a major event. We must be careful. Mussolini has been wavering, and we don't know who is better. In Italy, the battle on the front line can't tolerate delay.

The British army has been fighting back!

This battle must start a few months ago. When Germany launched an attack on France and had no time to realize its strategic intention in North Africa, the Italian army began a new offensive in North Africa. Of course, their goal was to fight all the way to the Suez Canal!

250000 Italian troops, against only 30000 British troops, should have been a complete victory.

However, they suddenly conducted aerial reconnaissance and found that there were huge armored forces in the British army. Therefore, they had no intention of war and chose to retreat. This retreat did not slow down any longer. They not only retreated from Egyptian territory, but now they have been hit here by the British along the coastline!

Although Germany also has troops in Libya, the main task of this force is to protect the oil fields. They have no spare strength to participate in the battle against Egypt.

And now, the British have even hit tublug all the way!

So Rommel couldn't wait for the troops in the rear. At this time, just assembled in the Libyan port, there was only a 66th tank battalion!

"Rush!" After receiving the order, Carl Maus, the battalion commander of the tank battalion, issued a battle order loudly and moved forward towards tublug!

The track of the tank rolled over the hot land, and the engine of the tank was rumbling. It was so hot that they had to open the hatch cover, and even took off their military uniforms, only wearing vests.

The weather here is too hot, but their hearts are even hotter. This is the first battle in North Africa. We must fight beautifully!

Behind them was the Italian army. According to Rommel's order, after the German army broke through the enemy, they had to follow up quickly and expand the results.

However, they have no confidence. Along the way, they are almost chased and beaten by the British. The British also have a huge armored force! Although German tanks are strong, the number is too small!

The terrain is different from that in Europe. It is surrounded by wilderness. Even if the performance of British tanks is not very good, you can use the advantage of quantity to surround German tank forces from the side or even around the back!

Therefore, they are not optimistic about this attack. They are far behind German tanks. At the same time, they have made plans in their hearts. If German tanks are surrounded, they must run as quickly as before!

Sitting on his tank, half of his body was exposed. Battalion commander Carl Maus did not take off his clothes. As a result, his military appearance was not neat, and his back was all wet. At this time, holding a telescope, he was constantly searching the open front.

It is 20 kilometers away from tubruge. During the aerial reconnaissance half an hour ago, a British tank force was indeed found there. Therefore, our side may encounter the other side at any time.

In this case, we must not get lucky!

He turned his head again and looked back. It was almost the Italian army in the sky. What a group of cowards!

Although general Rommel took over the command of the Italian army, he did not expect them to be good at fighting. It was enough to let them follow and fight with the wind.

Closer, closer. In the process of getting closer and closer to tublug, Carl's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. It's impossible to hide his march from the British. What about the powerful armored force of the British? Why not fight?

Where did they set up a trap?

"Report, everything is stable ahead, no British armored forces are found." From the radio came the sound of a reconnaissance platoon.

With the continuous updating of equipment, the reconnaissance soldiers of the armored division have changed from motorcycles to wheeled infantry combat vehicles. This all wheel drive combat vehicle can run fast and can also be equipped with low-pressure guns. In case of a sudden encounter, they can fight a dozen.

Now, the investigators sent out in front have not found the situation.

It seems that the other party is in the urban area of tubruge, waiting for his side to fight street battles? If you really fight in the street, there will be no chance of winning. After all, the group of Italian soldiers behind can't count on it, and their own infantry didn't arrive. It's very tragic that tanks left the infantry in the street battle.

Just then, suddenly, the Italian Legion in the rear began to stir.

British tanks! They were surprised to find a huge armored force suddenly appearing behind their side.

On the whole plain, such a huge tank force suddenly appeared out of thin air! There are hundreds! This posture is about to rush!

"Run, run!" Almost in an instant, they made a decision and hurriedly ran to their own tanks to let the Germans top them!

Behind your side, there is a tank force? This made Carlton stunned. It's impossible. How did the other party get there?

No matter, since the other party appears in the rear, your own side will rush up!

"Turn, back, prepare for battle!" Shouted Carl.

After hearing his command, a famous tank driver pulled the operating lever on the left to the end. The track on the left had been braked and the track on the right continued to rotate. In this way, after a small angle, the steering was completed. The action was neat and uniform, and even had a sense of beauty.

Then they stepped on the accelerator and planned to move towards the rear just now to fight the British tanks. At this time, a famous driver couldn't help swearing.

This spaghetti army!

They threw away all their equipment, not to mention the cars and guns. They even threw away their rifles and grenades. They ran towards the German tanks almost empty handed!

Is this the army? It's a disgrace to soldiers! They are like sheep, weak and speechless!

Moreover, the collision of these people caused obstacles to the attack of tank forces.

"No matter the Italians, triangle attack formation, attack!" Cried Carl.

If the Italian soldiers don't have eyes and attack their tank formation, they deserve to be crushed to death! At this time, Carl is excited. Although he has only dozens of tanks, the other party has hundreds. He is not afraid. He will win this battle!
