At the time when the troops of Rommel and Barton were entangled, behind the German front line, a group of Italian soldiers were using various machinery and other individual equipment to find ways to level a field airport. The scale of the project is quite large.
It seems that Italian soldiers are not very suitable for fighting on the front line. When they attack, they are very weak. When they defend, they are just as reassuring as the leaking house. The construction is also exquisite, and the quality is excellent.
So, after this battle plan was drawn up, Rommel ordered the Italian soldiers of the two armies to secretly build a large number of front-line airports. No one knew what these front-line airports did.
"The Germans are willing to toss about it. They have to repair fortifications, dig trenches, and then survey the terrain to gather intelligence, as if it is a machine that cannot be stopped." His comrades complained: "I was very grateful that they had brought us here without having to participate in the battle on the front line. As a result, we got this job and we were exhausted and died half a day."
While his companion was working, he did n’t raise his head and replied, "Okay, we are lucky. I heard that the Black Shirts have suffered thousands of casualties. We can repair the airport in such a safe place. It is already a very good job. If the frontline is not strong enough to push us up, it will be miserable. "
No one knows what these temporary front-line airports of the Germans are used for. These airports have no pre-arranged air defense positions and no cover measures. The most pitiful thing is that apart from some fuel trucks and supply vehicles, the maintenance ground crew There are very few.
These places may be just doubts about the false targets of the opponent's air force, or they may be temporary runways for the forced landing of the failed aircraft returning home. As for why it is necessary to build so many field airfield runways, this is not something that ordinary Italian soldiers can know. Anyway, they only build, and never build.
"You didn't see the German canned food supplemented by those in the Black Shirts, that's the real food." Complaining, watching everything felt like he was being treated unequally. This Italian soldier has seen the supplies of the Black Shirt Army, which is about the same level as the German regular army, and naturally makes these second-tier Italian soldiers envious.
The food supply of the Italian army was good, so Rommel did not intend to evenly distribute the supplies provided by his long supply line. He ordered the front-line troops to receive supplies of 100% or more, while the second-line troops maintained their supplies at 70% or even 50%.
This led to the poor supplies received by many Italian second-tier troops. The garrisons in many places even had only two meals a day, and the Black Shirts and the German troops who followed the German team had canned and Fried noodles can even be served with beef and chocolate candy.
"That meal was eaten casually? It means that you are going to the battlefield when you eat it. The British are so annoying? That is, the Germans are more powerful and replaced with us. At this time, Tu Nisi has already lost it." An Italian veteran sighed and said, "You are new here, haven't heard of that ..."
"What's the matter?" Apparently, several young Italian soldiers who were new to Africa had not experienced the defeat of the Italian troops by the British, so they were very curious about this kind of thing.
"Alas, when the Germans did n’t come, our generals did n’t listen to them all, and they wanted to provoke the British. As a result, we were defeated. I was a defender and I was not surrounded by captives, but I heard that, The British report at the time said this when referring to the capture of Italian troops. "The old Italian soldier sold a pass and waited until everyone's curiosity reached its peak before continuing:" The British said: 'We have captured 5 acres of Italian officers and 200 acres of Italian soldiers' ... "
"..." Now everyone knows why they were stuffed into the German engineering corps to build this frontline field airport. With such a good foundation laid by a group of seniors, it is estimated that they need more than courage to get to the front line.
"We captured about 5 acres of officers, and 200 acres of Anglo-American soldiers!" Just as a group of Italians felt sorry for the shameful record of their predecessors, a German officer was reporting proudly to Rommel today Results.
Everyone felt that Patton did not invest in his reserve team because of a covert counterattack plan, and there was a taste of conspiracy throughout the battle. The Germans finally decided to ignore the traps that Barton might set, and used their superior armored forces to crash into the core position of the Barton army.
In the end, the Germans found the largest tank force they could organize, including 40 tiger tanks and 110 leopard tanks, forming an offensive unit that stormed the core position of the Patton Army, where they destroyed about 40 The latest M4 Sherman tank of the US Army, then the entire Patton Army completely collapsed.
The main force of the Patton Army, who had been fearful and guarded, did not appear on the battlefield. Even the defensive counterattack did not occur, and the entire army was defeated by the Germans. The battlefield became a one-sided chase. Many American soldiers behaved differently than before. They raised their hands neatly and surrendered, which was diametrically opposed to the previous resistance to tenaciousness.
Because a terrible rumor spread among them, this rumor is that "Alexander Port has changed hands, and the flanking British 9th Army has collapsed. A large number of German soldiers have appeared in the rear of the entire force, and the 8th Army has been surrounded by the Germans." Even this rumor was most directly corroborated by the fact that the headquarters of the 8th Army had begun to withdraw, and everything was defeated.
Sitting in his armored command car, Button's face was tired and frustrated, and even his favorite cigar did not hold his mouth at this moment. Beside him is the 8th Armored Division, the main force that is retreating backwards. This is the "coffin book" in Barton's hand and is the home of all the valuables he can take away now.
As for why he dropped the frontline troops, he chose to escape similar to humiliation. In fact, we have to talk about it a few hours ago, because a few hours ago, the supply line that Patton deployed in the area south of Alexandria Port was suddenly cut off. His guards were ordered to fight back, and the information passed back scared all. People jump.
Intelligence showed that the Germans appeared on the supply line and the rear, and the strength was very large. As for where this terrible German force came from, Patton really could not understand the clue. All he can do is lead all the American troops he can find, break through the east, recapture the supply line and return to Cairo.
A battle between Patton and Montgomery was painstakingly organized. In a sharply downturn situation, it suddenly collapsed and ended in anxiety. The Germans won a full victory from the glued battlefield. Soon they will surround Alexander from the side. Or, they have already surrounded Alexandria in the situation.
After that, Rommel ’s army will drink the Manila River. Cairo ’s defenders have no ability to resist the destructive footsteps of the German army. Whether they can finally hold the Suez Canal can only be carried out by Patton.
"Asshole! Where did these Germans come from? Did the British reply? Is there any news?" In the shaking armored car, Patton paled and asked his combat staff.
He had to drop most of his troops and defeated all the way with his elite. This was definitely a shame for him. His carefully prepared counterattack plan could not be implemented. He consumed the German forces and dragged the war into a stalemate. The idea was smashed by the opponent before the idea started.
"Some witnesses claimed to see a large number of German aircraft flying west. Some people said it was a bomber from Turkey, some people said it was a bomber on Crete, but no one saw these planes dropping bombs, so it is not yet possible to confirm what it is. The situation. "The combat staff put down the intercom in his hand and replied to his commander.
"Airplane? It's an airborne soldier!" Button's eyes suddenly lighted up, and he knew that if he could, he might still be able to get some interest and then escape. If the German troops behind them were really paratroopers, then they could not fight their armor torrents.
"It is an airborne soldier! The German airborne soldiers on Crete! They did not withdraw to the German mainland, they are in Crete, waiting for this surprise attack! They are the fastest reinforcements and are able to be at the fastest speed Come and reinforce the German troops in Rommel! "In Alexandria, Montgomery screamed at his desk and shouted at his panic-stricken men:" Draw troops from Alexandria and fight back immediately! Is there any news from General Patton? I'm in touch! Hurry! "
"General! General Patton must have withdrawn. After all, they are not like us, and they saw the large fleet of German troops." A staff member looked as sad as a dead mother. He saw at least 500 German aircraft. Flying over the positions of both sides, because of the delay in air defense contact, when the British air defense artillery fired, only a dozen German aircraft were shot down. After all, no one expected that the Germans would appear from behind them, so when the reaction came, some of the anti-aircraft positions had been bypassed by the Germans—
The war has gone for 70 years, but the blood and pain are still worth pondering. Forgetting history is betrayal, and self-improvement can stand in the forest of nations in the world!
