Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2677 Vasim Balaiqi

Chu Tiange thought that he could persuade Montgomery to fight together. On the one hand, it was because China's position among the allies was at its peak, and on the other hand, he was sure that Montgomery, as an experienced veteran, would never let go of this battle. opportunity in North Africa.However, the development of things did not proceed according to the route he envisioned.After Montgomery received his telegram, he really thought that this was a rare opportunity, as long as he grasped it well, he could reverse the current unfavorable situation in one fell swoop.However, because of his innate rejection of China, and when he contacted Onbos some time ago to hope that the two armies would strengthen cooperation, he was rejected by Onbos, so he finally decided to be the oriole hiding behind the praying mantis. Wait for your chance to be the ultimate winner.

In the eyes of Chen Cheng and even the vast majority of Chinese people, China's military deployment to Soviet Russia, Australia, and North Africa is China's contribution to world peace, and it is a kind of selfless sacrifice.Little do they know that in the eyes of the British, Americans, and even many Westerners, China's move is a ulterior motive, and it is taking advantage of the West's weakness to encroach on the vested interests of the West.Therefore, on the one hand, they feel relieved that China has sent troops overseas, thinking that this can help them share some of the aggressive pressure from the German army; people mouth.This kind of complicated mentality could not affect the Chinese Expeditionary Force in normal times, but now it has become the biggest problem that the North African Expeditionary Force will face.

As Ouyang Yun's sworn brother, Chu Tiange grew up along with Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army. He understood Ouyang Yun's way of doing things and ideal appeals far better than others, so when he was just appointed as the commander of the North African Expeditionary Army, he , he had a certain understanding of Ouyang Yun's intention and implemented it into his daily military deployment.However, after all, he has been fighting on the front line, and he cannot always pay close attention to the current situation like those politicians.Therefore, when he decided to lead the main force to join the war, he ignored the political factors.

At this moment, in the south of a small town named Wasim in the southeastern part of Libya, Chu Tiange was standing on a sand dune and looking ahead with a telescope.On the battlefield of about [-] square kilometers in front of him, the [-]rd Mountain Division and the [-]rd Armored Division of the North African Expeditionary Army and the [-]rd Infantry Division of the French Restoration Army were fighting with the German army of about two divisions.Fighting in desert areas, the adaptability of the German army is obviously far stronger than that of the North African Expeditionary Force and the French Restoration Army, so although the German army is not superior in strength, it is the German army that is suppressing the Sino-French coalition forces. The coalition forces were exhausted on defense and had no power to fight back.

"Boss, Commander Li Zhengyu reports that Height No. [-] has fallen," a young staff officer hurried over with a message in his hand, and said loudly from afar.

The battle has been going on for three days, and Chu Tiange already knew the terrain of the battlefield in his heart. Hearing that he put down the binoculars, his eyes widened and his teeth were clenched, he suddenly said sonorously: "Tell Li Zhengyu, no matter what method he uses, no matter how many people die. Everyone must take back No. [-] Heights."

The active attack turned into a passive defense. Chu Tiange didn't expect it, and he was already full of anger. In addition, the British didn't reply for a long time, and his mood was really bad.

The North African Expeditionary Force and the French Restoration Army entered North Africa to fight, relying on the strength of the French "French Combat" troops in Chad.However, because Emboss insisted on being the head coach and refused to use de Gaulle as the commander, Leclerc, the commander of the North African Army, always followed the lead of Charles de Gaulle. The occupied Egyptian area was given up as a camp for the Sino-French coalition forces, but he refused to follow the order of Ambers.In this way, although the Sino-French coalition forces have entered North Africa and have a solid rear, they have also assumed the responsibility of helping the Kingdom of Egypt defend the southeastern region.Wasim is the most dangerous area on the border of Liai. Once it is lost, it will mean that the west gate of Egypt will be opened.The military strength of the Kingdom of Egypt itself is extremely weak, and the French troops in Chad are also small in scale. Leclerc has always insisted on keeping a distance from the Restoration Army in Amboss. Does not alone defend the southeastern region of Egypt with a total area of ​​more than 50 square kilometers.In that case, when it is almost impossible to get support and help from the local Egyptians, the difficulty of combat must be far more difficult than it is now.This is another reason why Chu Tiange insisted on attacking knowing that Rommel was planning to besiege the city and fight for aid.

The first decisive battle between the North African Expeditionary Force and the German Army was a bitter battle. Chu Tiange originally hoped to become famous overseas by virtue of this battle, but now he is a little disheartened and knows himself bitterly.

Chu Tiange's life is not easy, and Ang Bosi's situation is even worse.The reason why this decisive battle was won was that Ang Bosi's eagerness to restore the country was a major incentive.It was Rommel's grasp of his mentality that induced him to take the initiative to attack and encircle them. Since the German army surrounded the French Restoration Army who attacked actively, the German army had actually taken the initiative in this decisive battle.

At the beginning when Chu Tiange led the main force to attack, Ang Bosi was still high-spirited, thinking that he would be able to defeat the German army and advance the front to the hinterland of Libya.For the Sino-French coalition forces and the German army, the defense line of Wasim-Balaiqi (that is, the area surrounded by the [-]st Division and [-]st Brigade before the French National Restoration Army left) has mutual meanings of "natural danger".The Sino-French coalition could threaten the entire eastern part of Libya by breaking through this line of defense, so what he asked his subordinates frequently at that time was-"What? The Chinese army still failed to break through the German Baleqi line of defense?"

And as the North African Expeditionary Force went on the defensive, he began to worry about the safety of the [-]st Division and [-]st Brigade that went forward, and almost every once in a while he would ask his subordinates to call Major General Brick, who was in command of this force, to order He persisted and persisted.

At around [-] o'clock in the afternoon that day, the North African Expeditionary Force Li Zhengyu finally recaptured Height No. [-] after paying heavy casualties. As Rommel recruited two German divisions to join the front of the Vasim line of defense, he had no choice but to Ask Umbers to fill the battlefield with the reserve team of the Restoration Army.

Emboss originally thought that this battle would definitely defeat the German army and advance into the hinterland of Libya, so the main force of the National Restoration Army he led was not very far from the front line of Wasim.In this way, only about 5 minutes apart, he received a telegram from Chu Tiange, but at this time, he actually hesitated.Chu Tiange asked him to lead his troops to take over the northern line of defense of the expeditionary army, so that he could put the expeditionary army on the north route into the frontal battlefield.And because Embos knew that Rommel still had about two divisions of the German army and three divisions of the Italian army, he thought that they had no chance of winning this battle, so he began to think about things after the defeat.
