A group of staff is busy in General Mountbatten's office. ∽↗ After the oil defense line was ignited, the US troops quickly retreated to the third defense line. All of the front-line airports have already been filled with explosives, and where there is no explosives, oil has been buried. In short, it is a sentence-nothing will be left for the Germans.
A large number of American soldiers and British soldiers are stationed in the oil-producing areas in the rear, which is also a plan aimed at combining the German tactics of the previous campaign. Mountbatten read the reports of the Soviet and German battlefields as well as the North African battlefield and the records and analysis of the battles. He believes that the main reason for the failure of the British and American coalition forces is that the Germans often use innovative tactics to induce opponents to make wrong judgments.
For example, the Germans like to use helicopters as a new type of technical weapon to quickly project troops and sweep the occupied area. For example, German paratroopers often appear in the most deadly places. For example, an elite special force in the German army always uses The next three indiscriminate methods suddenly burst into cold arrows.
Putting it together is actually very simple. The Germans extended a linear battlefield, blurred the front and the rear, and formed a new air-to-ground integrated assault strategy.
After reaching this conclusion, the senior commanders of the United States and Britain realized how terrible the Germans were. In just twenty years, they had completed the transformation of the future war while breaking the limits of Versailles. And understand.
Although the two sides have not yet formed a generational difference in weaponry and equipment, the German generals have indeed advanced one generation ahead of other countries such as Britain and the United States in understanding the command form of the two sides and the capabilities of the opponent ’s troops. This generation of command consciousness has achieved a generational difference The undefeated myth of the German team on the battlefield.
After analyzing the German combat methods, Mountbatten drew up a new defense plan. He no longer concentrated his troops on the Suez Canal defense line. After all, there were too many vacancies for the Germans to do that.
In fact, the Allied forces have little hope for the defense of the Middle East. Roosevelt and other top US leaders initially planned to prevent Akado from using the Middle East oil fields to further strengthen the war potential of the Third Reich. So the Allied understanding of the defensive war in the Middle East is actually very simple: it is more a ruin than a defense.
Mountbatten was determined to prevent surprise attacks by German special forces to seize oilfield facilities, and to prevent German paratroopers from suddenly airborne to occupy the oilfield area. For this purpose, he scattered his troops throughout the Middle East without concentrating near the line of defense. This effectively prevented the German army from using new tactics to raid the oil field, but it made the force too scattered and could not resist the German frontal attack.
Fortunately, Mountbatten never had the luxury of keeping the Suez Canal line. All he has to do is delay time and give him the opportunity to turn the entire Middle East into a sea of ​​fire. Burning oil can not only slow down the pursuit of the Germans, but also consume oil resources, destroy oil-producing equipment and factories, and allow Germany to occupy the Middle East. It is completely impossible to use Middle Eastern oil to expand its production capacity in a short time.
Moreover, after the oil is burned, it not only pollutes the environment and destroys the equipment, but also many toxic gases permeate the burning area. As a result, Germany wants to take advantage of Middle Eastern oil, not to mention that it will only be 2 years later. It is hard to say how the world situation has become for the United Kingdom and the United States for two years.
Judging from the current situation, it is a matter of time before the Allied forces composed of the United States, Iceland, Britain, the Soviet Union, and China defeat Japan. Importantly, in two years, the US that defeated Japan will have more warships, and it is not impossible to defeat the German fleet on the Atlantic. So the United States needs these two years, and the Icelandic Britain, who happens to hold the thighs of the United States, also needs it.
"Report! The entire second line of defense has now been ignited. We have already completed the ignition of the part that has not been accidentally ignited. The 40,000 tons of crude oil can definitely make the Germans stand still for a long time. "A staff member complacently reported. It is a very proud thing to prevent the Germans from advancing, and the generals who can do this step are all high-profile names in the Allied sequence. After Mountbatten arrived in the Middle East in the first battle, the Desert Fox could be deflated, which exceeded all expectations.
Mountbatten has not been overwhelmed by the advantages he has already achieved. He can be the leader of the British Empire's Asian theater. His mind is mature and stable enough. He looked at the map in front of him and pressed his finger against the red line representing the flame, without speaking for a while.
He was calculating Rommel's countermeasures. After all, the fire after the oil was ignited was not so easy to put out. If Rommel attempted to pursue quickly, then only a few preset positions would rush out of the flames.
He has already laid mines in those places, which is also an important reason for the slow and slow withdrawal of the US and British troops. Coupled with the blockade of the British Expeditionary Forces and the U.S. Rear Guard, the Germans should not get a bargain.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his fingers and then turned back to command his assistant: "Let all the air defense forces enter the alert, and the oil field defenders will immediately enter the combat state. As long as there is any turmoil, there is no need to ask the command. , You can directly execute the blasting plan. "
After finishing his orders, Mountbatten finally felt a little relaxed. If the Germans do not strategically bomb the Middle East oil fields, they are considering the possibility of seizing the oil fields. Mountbatten prepared the defense plan of the oil field tit-for-tat, so for him, Rommel could not get any cheaper this time.
The atmosphere in the German headquarters was a little heavy, just a short distance from Mountbatten Command, on the embankment of the Suez Canal, next to Rommel's command vehicle. The battle for the Suez Canal planned by Desert Fox Rommel was successfully completed, but everyone was not happy.
The sudden oil-burning war of the American local tyrants made the German army, which was stretched in oil resources, aware of the cruelty of the battle. The originally planned combat plan now seems to be basically unusable.
Rommel looked at General Frederick, an infantry fighter who had just returned from the frontline battlefield, and asked him a topic he was most interested in: "Is there a problem with the strength of the US defense line ...?"
General Frederick, holding his steel helmet and stroking the golden hair on his forehead, pointed at the map and said: "Marshal. According to my experience of fighting with the US military, the US military has only about 4 to 7 divisions on the front line. There are not too many troops and firepower. This is not the preparation for the defensive line, this is the way to delay our army's attack. "
Rommel nodded. Friedrich was the most capable general in his army and the commander of the 7th Army of the African Army's elite infantry. In this case, what he analyzed was often the most intuitive. The most correct thing.
Since the US and British forces did not concentrate so many main forces on the frontal battlefield, it is self-evident where these forces are. It seems that the opponent knows what the Germans really want, and they are ready to destroy it.
At this time, the risk of using special forces and paratroopers to raid those oil fields and factories is obviously sending records to the enemy. Even if the German paratroopers and special forces have obvious advantages in quantity, they cannot waste the elite without such a chance. The enemy is waiting for the Germans to throw themselves into the net near these original targets, and then sending people to die is a complete fool.
Combined with some ground photos provided by the German reconnaissance aircraft, Rommel smiled bitterly, and then looked at his love and a little further Marshal Garibaldi: "It was originally planned to use special forces and paratroopers to cooperate with the armored forces. It can win about one-tenth of the oil field. It seems that we are too optimistic about this plan ... "
Then Rommel, one of Germany ’s highest commanders in Africa and one of the army ’s three marshals, finally made up his mind: "Since you do n’t let me take what I deserve, then do n’t try to take yours. That part! "
After whispering this sentence, he immediately turned to Garibaldi and the Air Force Liaison Officer, pointing to some marks on the map and issuing his combat order: "Immediately dispatch all air forces and destroy all oilfield facilities in these places at any cost. ! Including oil fields and oil processing plants, oil pipelines and reserves! All! All destroyed! "
"His ..." Garibaldi took a breath, and Rommel's courage to change his battle plan made him frightened. Even if you know that your opponent is prepared, but so many resources say to give up and give up, it also requires great courage: "To dispatch all the air force? Even our tatters?"
"Yes! As many as you can! According to the aerial photographs detected by the reconnaissance aircraft, all suspicious targets are destroyed!" Rommel said without hesitation, he firmly said: "Since they don't want, they don't want to let them We want it, then it ’s all burned! "
It may be changed to 3 months ago, Rommel would hesitate to make this decision easily. But now the oil fields in Libya have begun to produce oil. Rommel ’s African Army is not as rich as the Middle East, but it also has a lot of worries and worries. So Rommel immediately began to fight back, using air superiority to resolve the procrastination tactics of the enemy.
About one hour after Rommel changed his battle plan, the German Do-217 bomber once again appeared overwhelmingly over the battlefield. But this time, these planes did not drop the bomb on the front of the U.S. military. Their engines roared through the sky, toward their targets, and flew away.
