Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2684 Unable to respond
Five days later, in El Fik, Libya, the largest battle in the history of North African warfare in World War II took place.The initiator of the service was none other than Field Marshal Montgomery.The North African British army led by Montgomery took advantage of the retreat of the German North African Army, and then divided into two groups from Elphick to outflank the German North African Army, intending to keep the North African Army at Merlin. eat up.As expected, the encirclement circle of the British army had not yet been closed, and a large German army appeared on the right of the British army on the right.

The commander of the right-wing British army is Lieutenant General Kularick. The British thought from top to bottom that the main force of the German army was still blocked by the Chinese army in the northeast of Lie, and that the one left in Merlin was just a lone army. So Kula Rick's command was very unrestrained, not only was the vanguard force and the main force out of touch, but also lacked the necessary regular communication.The leader of Kularik's troops was an armored division. The commander of the division, Major General Rupel, was eager for success. In order to gain speed, he left the only infantry regiment under his command and led the armored troops to advance lightly. About [-] kilometers away, Lin crashed into an ambush circle carefully arranged by the Germans.

In this battle, Rommel invested two armored divisions and one tank division at one time.When hundreds of German tanks and chariots appeared in front of Rupel like magic soldiers, the British were completely frightened.

"What's going on? How can there be the main force of the German tank force here?!" When the German tanks had already started firing to provoke the battle, Rupel exclaimed sharply, still unable to believe his eyes.

Needless to say, in the early stage of the contest between tanks in Britain and Germany, the British were at an absolute disadvantage.Now even though the British are equipped with many Chinese-made Jiguang-type mandrill tanks and have developed the "Cromwell" cruiser tank with comparable performance to the German Type VI tank, but because its tank soldiers have long been defeated by German tank soldiers Courage, so often even if the number of tanks on both sides is equal, the British army can only be the loser.

Even if the strength of the troops is equal, they will not be able to defeat them, not to mention that they are completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength now.This battle has not yet started, and the outcome is already doomed.

Although it was a battle with no suspense about the outcome, Rommel still exerted great strength, not to mention personally commanding, and he was very cautious in using troops. While retaining enough reserves, he invested all he could at one time. Use the power.From Rommel's point of view, he had no choice but to do so—the reason lies in himself.Because he didn't believe in the goodwill released by the Chinese, and even always felt that it was a conspiracy by the Chinese, so he failed to recall the chariots and tanks that were originally going to attack the Chinese army in time.In this way, when he led the main force out of danger, he recalled the lagging chariot force, which was completely out of touch with the main force.Influenced by the deserted terrain of North Africa, the armies of France, Britain, Germany and Italy in North Africa are all highly mechanized.Originally, Rommel was going to use infantry to show Montgomery a good look. Although that would surprise his old opponent, the German casualties would definitely not be low.Now that the Chinese have no intention of destroying most of their tanks, Rommel will certainly not be so stupid as to continue to use infantry to ambush the British armored units when they can use tank units to participate in the battle.In order to be able to keep up with the rhythm of the main force, more than two-thirds of the tank soldiers and armored vehicle soldiers in Germany have gone through two days and one night of long-distance raids before they can catch up with the main force and be able to give Rupel a surprise in this place.

If Rupel is more careful, it is not difficult to find clues.German tank soldiers are currently one of the most elite tank soldiers in the world. Apart from other things, the quality of their artillery is certainly not too low.Naturally, it is impossible to fire three or four shots like now, and it is rare to hit a group of sneakers.What is the reason for this not being a lack of energy?At this time, if Rupel hadn't panicked and hurriedly commanded the troops to retreat and break through, but had put all their eggs in one basket and risked their lives, although they would still inevitably be destroyed in the end, they would certainly have caused huge casualties to the Germans.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are willing. If Rupel is not prepared, their failure is doomed.

For Kularik, the destruction of Rupel's division was just the beginning.After losing the only armored unit of the Rupel Division, and in the case of losing the most effective anti-tank unit, what awaited the British infantry of the Kularik unit could only be the despair brought by the torrent of steel.

At around 05:30 in the afternoon of this day, Kularik, who had just received the news of the destruction of the entire Rupel Division, was about to order the entire army to build fortifications on the spot. The German tank unit had already appeared before its troops.

Naturally, it was another battle of encirclement and annihilation without any suspense.And when the Kularik Department either became a corpse in the desert or became a prisoner of war of the German army, the left-wing troops of the British army suddenly became a lone army.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, when the left wing of the British army was cut and surrounded by Rommel's North African Army in the desert east of Merlin, Montgomery, knowing that the situation was over, had to ask Chen Shichang and Chu Tiange for help, asking them to Send troops to help rescue the besieged British army.

When Montgomery's request for help was sent to him by Li Yage, Chen Shichang's adjutant, the latter was fighting the landlord with the captain and first officers of the aircraft carrier Wudao Tianwang.

"The British are calling again?" Guo Cairen, the captain of the Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier, is the landlord, because the three hole cards he holds are all rubbish, so he is very enthusiastic about Li Yage's arrival.

"Are you here to question why we didn't bomb the German armored forces?" asked the chief mate of the Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier.

Just three days ago, when Rupel's troops were being besieged by German tanks, Montgomery sent a telegram asking why China didn't bomb the German armored troops.

For this telegram, Chen Shichang couldn't even take a look at it, so naturally he couldn't reply.

"The British came to ask for help this time. Marshal Montgomery sent it himself, and asked the chief to forgive him for his previous rudeness."

"Not enough sincerity!" Guo Cairen glanced at Chen Shichang, then threw the cards on the table and said, "The boss has a business, so I can't play this card."

Chen Shichang frowned, looked at him unhappily and said, "What kind of virtue? You know that sincerity is not enough? Keep fighting!"

Guo Cairen smirked, salivating and said: "The British are our allies after all, do you mean it?"

Chen Shichang turned up his cards, glanced at them and said, "It really is a hand of rubbish, no wonder!" Then he said to Li Yage: "If you reply like this, it means that I have gone to the headquarters of the North African Expeditionary Force, and now I can't contact you." , so no response can be given.”
