Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Just as Japanese soldiers looked at the desert at a loss, on the other side of the world, tens of thousands of people were used to life in the desert.
Three German soldiers jumped out of their armored cars. They were wearing shorts, exposed their sun-dark knees, and carrying rifles were standing in front of a monument carved from a huge stone. "Egypt" is written in Egyptian script and English.
"Send a signal to the troops behind that we have entered the territory of Egypt, and no British reconnaissance forces have been found." An officer stood on the roof of the armored vehicle and observed the scene around the sky with a telescope for a long time, and found that there was really nothing to report. Case.
Recently, the British army adopted austerity defense in Egypt. Many of the defense lines originally deployed on the periphery of Egypt were abandoned. Montgomery concentrated the troops in the key areas, hoping to rely on complete fortifications to stop Rommel ’s attack.
But Rommel did not rush into Egypt this time, but accepted the suggestion of his deputy General Frederick modestly, and began to play a steady and steady routine. He built a complete water station supply line in the rear, and sent special forces and elite armored forces to hunt down the British destruction unit. Although it does not seem to have achieved any large-scale victory, it has kept its supply line running along the way.
"General, the forward troops have entered the territory of Egypt. Our main force is gathering and camping on the Egyptian border." The staff member dropped his phone and raised his head to shout to Rommel who was studying the map: "The armored forces are still there. Slowly moving forward, according to plan, they will reach the designated location in 2 hours. "
"Order all troops to slow down the speed of travel and expand the search range." Rommel moved his line of sight from the map, and then issued the order: "After the Air Force was dispatched to investigate all suspicious areas and ensure that the two wings of the troops were not threatened by the enemy, Arrange a line of defense and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. "
"General, we really have to wait for Scherner's K Army to arrive in North Africa, and then start the Battle of Egypt?" The staff was a little puzzled. Rommel's current battle for North Africa was not difficult, as long as Rommel took out the madness in France The offensive momentum, then Cairo can even win in 10 days.
"Don't worry, Chief of Staff. When I need it, I can order the troops to advance 200 kilometers a day, but it is meaningless now. The enemy is waiting for me to make mistakes. This is their only chance to defeat." Rommel smiled. Said: "But as long as I don't make mistakes, then the battle of North Africa will inevitably be my final victory. What I want to do now is not to risk winning, but to stabilize the moment of waiting for victory."
Rommel did not want to attack, but Akado ordered him to slow down the attack. Scherner, who is responsible for supporting Rommel to expand the North African battlefield, is now on the road. If the two army groups meet, it is Akado who is in pain in North Africa. At the critical moment of the killer, Akado hopes to make a time difference, so that the United States will have no time to add troops to the Middle East, and Germany can drive straight in and occupy the world's largest oil production base.
However, even Akado himself felt that it was impossible for the large-scale corps to be mobilized to hide everyone ’s eyes, so he would simultaneously open the prologue of the Balkan battle and seek to interfere with the sight of local agents in the chaos. To achieve the purpose of confusion. As for the effect, only God knows it.
"The Oil Transport Force has just heard that a 30-member British attack unit appeared near Benghazi, but they were found by our helicopter sweeping forces. After a fierce battle, the other party lost 17 people and 13 others were captured. "An officer came in from outside the tent and handed a document to Rommel:" They also sent the prisoner's interrogation records. There is some information that you need to see in person. "
"What intelligence?" Rommel froze, then took the report and found that the above problem was indeed serious-Britain was using some immature special forces in an attempt to build some attack positions on Rommel's long supply line, and then these troops The supply line of Rommel will be destroyed and attacked, paralyzing Rommel's logistics transportation.
"What about the Italian military commander responsible for road safety in the back?" Rommel asked with a frown: "Send a message to General Garibaldi asking him to urge the Italian army in the rear and try to eliminate these. The enemy's attack stronghold. "
"If you let Garibaldi's black shirts go back and deal with these strongholds, you might still win. Let the second-rate Italian troops who do not have enough basic supplies do this, it is no different from sending weapons and ammunition to the other party. "The staff apparently was not at ease with the fighting power of the garrison troops in the rear of Italy, and said," Try it with the 'desert scorpion' special forces. "
The Desert Scorpion is an elite special force characterized by desert special operations, with only 120 members, but this "company" is definitely not an ordinary company, but a "land aviation specialty" that uses helicopters as its own walking tool. force". They are specifically responsible for dealing with enemy scattered soldiers scattered behind their own defense lines, and protecting the supply lines of their main forces.
This unit relied on helicopters to maneuver in the desert, so it came and went like wind, relying on rockets on helicopters and 13 mm heavy machine guns to provide fire suppression, more than enough to deal with British surprise units with only light weapons and armored vehicles. This unit was formed under the direction of Akado, because in another time and space, the British surprise unit caused inestimable losses to the Italian logistics supply.
However, the situation has now changed. The maturity of the German special forces combat theory and the development and development of special combat weapons are more advanced than the British team. Although these German special forces cannot be regarded as equals on the frontal battlefield, in this small-scale conflict, they are like a fish.
It is a pity that although this unit has been divided into four groups to perform tasks in different sections, but it still cannot protect the safety of the entire supply line, there are still a large number of defensive vacuum areas, and there are sections responsible for the Italian army. The Italian troops in these areas have mixed combat effectiveness, some of them can repel the offending British squad, and some are crushed by a touch.
Although the Germans have relocated the transportation supply location from the distant city of Tripoli to the port of Brega that has just been restored and put into use. However, the long supply line of the German army still has to pass through the entire Benghazi and Tobrook areas. As a result, the German logistics supply is once again stretched. This time the African Army urgently needs not to add weapons and equipment, but also ammunition, precious fresh water and Oil.
Montgomery, who was attentive, naturally discovered the weakness of the German army. In order to delay the attack time of the German army, he sent a small number of troops to carry out enhanced desert training. Then he secretly crossed the German defense line from the depths of the desert in an armored vehicle and attacked the vulnerable. German supply line.
"Okay! Let the desert scorpion run more. After all, their combat methods are more resource-efficient, and their losses in combat are relatively small, which makes me very satisfied." Rommel nodded, and then added: "To the highest The command headquarters will apply for more special forces. "
"Yes!" The staff stood upright and turned to the telegraph room.
The long yellow sand as the main theme of northern Africa, the two sides are fighting not courage or perseverance, but each ton of oil and shells shipped from thousands of miles away. To elaborate more deeply, then the two sides are competing against the national Comprehensive national strength has merged the final strength of a series of links such as production and transportation distribution.
For the first time in the war, the advantages in each link were placed so clearly that every commander could not avoid it, and every commander shook his head and sighed. The shrewd command and the whimsical strategy can't avoid the logistics to supply the materials one by one, and the boring statistics.
The work of deceiving opponents has become extremely complicated. There are countless materials and a wide variety of equipment that require a huge rear to support. How many rounds of 7.92 mm caliber ammunition, 13 mm caliber machine gun ammunition, 20 mm caliber artillery shells, how many rounds of 40 mm caliber anti-aircraft shells, 75 mm anti-aircraft shells, 88 mm Cannonballs, 105mm, 150mm, etc. a wide variety of ammunition. These munitions must be manufactured and distributed through the arms department in the rear. There are not 10 or 7 departments. If you count the quilts, tents, daily necessities, food, oil, spare parts of equipment, and then count the salary of the troops, the leavers are everywhere to blow the cows-as long as there is only one data in the hundreds of thousands of links up and down Got it, then basically there is no secret at all.
Of course, the German K Army is moving towards North Africa little by little, and American spies are already aware of it. A British spy at the Quartermaster ’s Office received an important piece of information, which showed that the German army urgently customized a batch of North African summer military uniforms, and the spy knew that the summer uniforms of the Lummel ’s group army had been delivered a month ago. North Africa.
The loophole was immediately discovered by the US intelligence services, and they began to mobilize spies in Italy, hoping to find some clues. It turns out that the Italian intelligence service is worse than the two German intelligence agencies, not at all. The American intelligence service got everything they wanted to know in Italy: the Italian ships that arranged the transportation, the establishment of the K Group Army, and the approximate number of heavy weapons. If it were n’t for the Italian transportation department staff who knew it was not too detailed, he expected to tell Scherner ’s underwear color to the bold
