My Third Empire

Biquge www.readwn.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

Crashing away from the grass, a tiger tank appeared in front of the Americans in this way. This behemoth is obviously more powerful than the leopard tank, because the wreckage of the latest American m4 Sherman tank is still burning next to the grass that this tiger tank crossed.

If the leopard tank brought unparalleled pressure to the American tank soldiers, then the emergence of the tiger tank brought despair to the American soldiers. This tank seems to be solid, and no matter how close it is, it can't penetrate its heavy armor.

Unsurprisingly, the main armored forces of the Germans appeared on the flanks of the United States. These tank troops penetrated the most important defensive positions in the United States like sharp cones. Almost 50 new m4s of Barton were placed there in one breath. Herman tanks hit in all directions.

The tiger tank of a battalion was invincible, rushing left and right on the position of Patton, no one could stop it. The shells of the anti-tank gun equipped by the British * team hit the armor of the tiger tank, leaving only a shallow Shallow pit. I heard that American soldiers tried their best to stop a tiger tank by exploding the track of the tank with explosives.

Soon these German tanks rushed up a high hill, where a defensive position set by American infantry was destroyed. The machine gun was like a raindrop to drive American soldiers out of the trench, and then the grenadiers behind the German tanks crossed the tank. Started the offensive and beat down American soldiers who were forced to retreat.

Behind this American defensive position is an artillery position, where a total of 12 155 mm caliber howitzers were deployed. The artillery on the side of these cannons watched their infantry pass by, and yelled in their mouths. "The Germans are here!"

When the artillery thought of running away, they found that the car that dragged the cannon had already drove away. Those trucks could not care about other comrades, and they had no time for them to gather the cannon and hang up the car. The German tanks quickly entered the artillery position, and the grenadiers began to study American large-caliber shells. They divided up the loot belonging to American soldiers, shared American chocolate and canned food, praised the craftsmanship of American canned makers, and scolded bad German companies together.

At this time, Patton had no time to deal with the chaotic state behind him. He was concentrating his own strength and launched the most violent attack on the opposite Rommel. Patton knew that even if he began to retreat or organize a counterattack against the German roundabout troops, there was no good way to take those elite German tiger tanks and leopard tanks, and if he stopped attacking and counterattacked the roundabout Germans, Rommel He would definitely press boldly from the front, not letting him retreat calmly.

Patton knew that retreat was the least choice he should make at this time, and the armored power in his hand also prevented him from effectively countering the German tanks. So he changed his mind and began to operate with other German troops opposite. Most of these German tank troops are No. 3 tanks, with only a small amount of leopard tanks as supplements, and there is not much gap with the existing tank strength of the United States, so Patton decided to exchange.

Did n’t you use a side attack to sneak into my back? I will use a frontal attack to destroy your deployment. By the time you have annihilated my rear troops, I will almost eat your first-line defense troops. You can turn around and continue to play! This is what Barton thought, and it is the best choice he can make now.

"This Patton, unknown before, did not expect to be able to fight so much!" Rommel's constipated expression watched his position being destroyed one by one by the United States. The war has continued into the evening. Everyone's soldiers did not drip during the day's battle. The rhythm of the battle should have slowed down, but the result was more intense than in the morning.

If the opponent is Montgomery, this is almost the end of the run, he can naturally chase all the way to Tobrook, and then the relay fortress is almost his Rommel's pocket. But I never imagined that I had forced this little-known Barton into a situation of undoubted defeat. The other party turned around and decided to pull himself to hell.

He had 700 tanks in his hand, and almost 500 were available all the way. After a day of intense fighting, including failures and losses, he now has less than 400 tanks of various types to fight. Almost half of the US logistics forces were packed behind Barton. At this moment, there are less than 150 tanks that can be used to defend or counterattack on his frontal defense line.

The No. 3 tank and the Leopard tank that were destroyed only one day, together, almost surpassed 70, and the United States lost 150 more. But Barton now has more than 200 tanks that can be put into combat, all of which are on the front line and he was consumed by Rommel. In this way, Rommel still needs to lose almost 100 tanks to wipe out Barton. He wouldn't talk about attacking Tobruk at that time, and it was almost the same to escape back to Tunis with his tail.

The good news is that as soon as your troops are about to disturb Patton ’s rear, the Americans ’most unbearable artillery advantage will be wiped out. The bad news is not without it. Once at night, the Germans can rely on some air support and cannot continue.

"Are you trying to kill my guard troops? It depends on whether you want to bury your last capital here!" Rommel finally made up his mind and began to issue his own combat instructions: "Order the front-line troops to release smoke and alternately cover the retreat. ! The armored forces are concentrated and ready to fight back at my command! "

Do n’t Americans want to be so tough? I just won't give you a hard chance! I ordered a retreat and gave you all these worthless positions to see if you dare to ask for it! Rommel stared at the map and thought to himself: As soon as my troops retreat, Patton can only choose to pursue or not to chase, but the fact that Patton ’s guards have been eaten up will not change whether chase or not. .

The Germans began to release smoke on the frontal positions, and all positions that could not be supported by the US forces were gradually abandoned. The US troops were like a giant who had saved a long time and punched but failed to hit the target. The situation was immediately embarrassed. If you chase the withdrawn Rommel positively, then you will be completely overwhelmed by the whole army trapped in the desert. If you do not chase ... It seems that the United States has already suffered heavy losses.

"Finally frightened Rommel." Barton looked at the German army who had lifted sand and dust and released smoke in the evening sunset. He breathed a sigh of breath: "Since he can't afford it, we don't need a dead net. Lead the troops back to Torbrook. "

Barton was brave in combat, not frustrated. He naturally knew that this attack made Rommel cancel his plan to eat up his losses, but the loss of his troops was real. This was indeed his mistake. However, these losses were not caused by Barton ’s improper command, but because the armored forces were not as good as the Germans.

At night, the two teams finally disengaged, and the desert once again returned to a quiet state. The 8th Army lost its soldiers, and Button returned to Tobruk with the remaining armor and infantry.

And Rommel, also began to gather troops in the desert, to assess the loss of this battle. His troops suffered heavy losses. One day's fierce battle cost him nearly 2,000 soldiers capable of fighting well, and the armor strength that he can use is severely reduced-only about 300 can continue to use.

The light tank division with the largest loss almost lost 70% of its armored force. Those tanks that were dropped to North Africa due to backwardness were almost completely lost. Most of the tank destroyers modified by tank 2 were also destroyed by American tanks.

Compared to Rommel, Button's loss was more serious. The 8th Army ’s 55 large-caliber 155-mm howitzers were dropped by the United States by 40. In the entire 8th Army, nearly 600 tanks participated in the war, and 400 were destroyed by the Germans. Of course, in addition to the loss of equipment, the Anglo-American forces were killed and captured almost 4,000 people. The meaning behind this number is: the 8th Army was completely paralyzed.

The large-scale counterattack prepared by the British could not be eliminated. The 9th Army returned to Tobruk under the leadership of Montgomery. The war in North Africa gradually bottomed out as the materials hoarded by the two sides began to ease. The Germans chased the British with a victory, fought a few small victories, and pushed the line of defense close to Tobruk, and Rommel's name appeared again in German newspapers.

On the other hand, Britain was forced to continue to transfer troops stationed in India to North Africa to cover the losses caused by the German attack. This further deepened the vacancy of the British defenders in India. This information was discovered by the Japanese military who had been coveting Southeast Asia, and was then sent back to the Tokyo base camp as a rare opportunity.

On April 30th, after careful preparations, the Japanese army assembled the forces of two divisions and a total of seven divisions, and entered Vietnam from Vietnam under the banner of liberating Southeast Asia. The battle between Britain, Japan and Myanmar officially broke out. The British defenders gave up most of the Burma area and gave up China's important supply line of the Yunnan-Burma road and retreated back to India. In Asia, especially in China, the situation of anti-Japanese war has turned sharply. The Chinese defenders defending the Wuhan area have been ordered to transfer important ordnance equipment. The newly formed three US military equipment divisions are forced to go south to defend the Japanese forces that have just controlled northern Myanmar.

The United States was forced to shift its main energy from the North African region to the more critical Philippine green guest.
