Chapter 834： Aiming South Road

"When did the British tanks and anti-tank guns appear? Why didn't we notice it before?" Rommel was also wondering in the rear command.

There is a reason why one chooses the northern line of defense as the main attack target. With strong armor capabilities, one can easily break through their positions. Once they break through, they will rush for a long distance and head straight to Alexandria.

But now, it seemed to be a joke to him. Suddenly, there was a large-caliber anti-tank gun in front of him, as well as a tank that had never been seen before!

"It was our negligence. Our reconnaissance plane once found signs of tanks, but we only thought it was a British trick." Rommel's assistant Lorrain Zihofen said.

In the past, the British had already done this, using rubber inflatable tanks to confuse the Italian army, and they were scared to retreat.

Now, when they detect a large number of tanks, after careful judgment, they are determined to be the same as the previous trick. As a result, they are actually real.

"The British mainland has been occupied by us. Obviously, these things are supported by the United States." Rommel gritted his teeth and said: "Americans, it's really damn!"

In fact, no matter how much American support, the German army is confident to defeat the British. The problem is that Rommel not only has to win, but also to win beautifully.

In this case, his casualties will obviously increase.

"General, do we want to increase the army on the North Road?" another staff officer asked.

Now, they still have the reserve force of the 15th Armored Division on hand, and they have not yet been put into battle, as the general reserve team.

Hearing the words of his assistant, Rommel shook his head: "No, at this time, we should be calmer. What we have is the mobile advantage. We should use the mobile advantage of our tank unit. Now, I order, the 15th armor The division, assaulted from the south, broke through the British defenses in one fell swoop, surrounded the northern British forces from behind, and then wiped them out!"

On the narrow offensive surface in the north, if too much troops are invested, it can only be offensive in batches. This refueling tactic is not appropriate. Tanks have mobile advantages, and this advantage must be used. Therefore, Longmei You chose to open up a new front and greet them fiercely from the south!

Now, facing the British army in the south, it is the Italian division. Rommel’s arrangement is actually to confuse the British and make the British think that he does not value the south. Now, suddenly from the south, he can break through!

Rommel suddenly changed his tactics. At this time, Montgomery on the opposite side was also deciding what to do next based on his own judgment.

"We can't wait any longer. Now, I order, the seventh and ninth Royal Armored Regiment in the south will attack and break through the defenses of the Italian army in one fell swoop!"

"The 13th Army formed by the New Zealand Division and the 4th Indian Division followed closely and expanded the results. The Australian Division and the 2nd South African Division formed the 30th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Nori. We will invade Egypt this time. Encircle and annihilate them all!"

Although there are not many troops coming from the British mainland, it does not mean that Montgomery's troops are not enough. The colonies of New Zealand, India, Australia, and South Africa are the more powerful forces he has on hand!

His task is not only to hold the line of defense, but also to surround the Germans and wipe them out! Regardless of the current German offensive, as long as they cut off their logistics and surround them, their tanks are scrap iron!

On the map, the offensive route of a big arrow has been marked, they will pass through the defense line of the Italian army, and have been inserted behind the Germans!

This is a bold tactic, and this tactic is completely approved by Prime Minister Churchill, saving Britain in one fell swoop!

Nearly 200 Sherman tanks formed a huge offensive array, surging out from the Mitria Mountains in the south!

Opposite them was the position of the Italian 6th Infantry Division.

At this time, the Italian troops were in their positions, waiting boredly. They already knew that the offensive to the north had begun, and they didn't have to fight any tough battles. It was enough for them to follow the German army.

Sitting in their trenches, the Italian soldiers were chatting. The sun outside was very poisonous. They already missed Sicily a little.

Suddenly, the ground vibrated!

"What's the matter?" An Italian soldier stuck his head out, and then his pupils dilated: "Tanks, tanks, British tanks!"

"Donatello, are you dazzling? Where does the British have tanks, is it German?" Another soldier said.

"They came from the east! Alert, alert!" he shouted loudly.

The other soldiers came out lazily from the trenches. After that, they were also shocked. They were tanks, and there were so many!

It is impossible to defeat such a force, and at this moment, their hearts are already cowardly!

"Boom!" The Sherman tank on the opposite side opened fire! The 76.2 mm shell flew out of the barrel, hit the open space in front of the trench, and instantly lifted the mud.

"Quick, quick, report to General Rommel, request reinforcements, request reinforcements!"

They hurriedly took out their weapons, trying to block the attack of those tanks, but more people were ready to flee. When they couldn't beat them, it was not shameful to run away.

"Listen!" The original soldier shouted again. He pointed to the sky. In an instant, countless Italian soldiers cheered.

"HurrayHurray!"

Above the head, the German HS129 attack aircraft and Stuka, painted with the cross sign, have arrived!

When attacking the northern line of defense, the Luftwaffe did not dispatch, because Rommel believed that after a fierce artillery attack, the tanks would be able to break through the opponent's line of defense with a single charge.

As a result, the anti-tank gun came out, and the tank came out. At this time, the two sides had entered a state of melee. Therefore, the aircraft could not be dispatched and it was easy to cause a misfire.

But now it's different. When it was decided to attack from the south, the air force's attack aircraft troops were dispatched. The original plan was to bomb the British positions. As a result, when they flew over, they just caught up with the British attack!

The British actually launched an offensive in broad daylight. Don't they know that the sky now belongs to Germany?

Dive!

Captain Weber drove his sweeper and started sweeping again.
