My Third Empire

Montgomery's request made Patton restless. He knew how much pressure Montgomery had at this time of the war. In fact, Montgomery has been able to persevere until now, which is very unexpected from Barton himself. In his and his staff's deduction, Montgomery's troops should have begun to fail a few days ago.

As for why Montgomery has not been defeated by the Germans until now, the reason cannot be anything else, only because Montgomery played superbly in the battle outside Alexandria, and the German troops under Rommel did not give their all.

In fact, the most important thing for Button is the second point, which is how much strength the reserve team in Rommel has retained. Rommel did not invest in his elite armored forces to participate in the battle for positional warfare, or Rommel did not invest in too much armored forces. There are only three pathetic German armor positions that Montgomery can confirm. This means that Rommel has at least two armored divisions that have not been used at all. This is undoubtedly a sword hanging above General Patton's head.

After all, Patton ’s armored forces are not sufficient. After such a long accumulation, he finally got 300 m4 Sherman tanks and about 500 m3lee tanks. This is a threat to German armor. The full strength of the troops, as for the other 460 m3 tanks, Patton can only classify them as armored vehicles to use, because such tanks are basically useless when facing German armored forces.

His original hope was that before the start of the decisive battle, relying on Montgomery ’s positional battle, delaying time to accumulate strength, and consuming part of Rommel ’s armored forces to gain an advantage on the North African battlefield, but now it is obviously too late. Because poor Montgomery's troops are a bit too severe.

Because in recent days, German submarines have started indiscriminately attacking American merchant ships heading to the Middle East. The US military supplies in the Middle East have encountered serious problems. Although the United States has been operating locally for a long time, it has not been seen for a while. What's wrong, but Commander Button has seen his own end from the support he got.

This is a very simple reasoning question. Montgomery received almost zero support from the British government in exile. He can only rely on the original British colonial system in North Africa and some British troops that were originally left in North Africa to fight back home. Now these troops are basically All the losses have been lost, even if Rommel did not win this time, but next time, Barton can't count on Montgomery who can't add in time.

The German-Italian North African coalition, which has taken advantage of the Mediterranean supply, can accumulate strength bit by bit again, waiting for the next fighter. For Barton personally, instead of waiting until that time, with the troops in his hands being annihilated by Rommel with superior strength, it is better to take a fight with the troops now, and may be defeated.

So Button sent this idea to the Roosevelt and other high-level officials in Washington, and won the support of President Roosevelt. Now if Button does not take advantage of Montgomery's opportunity to play a game, then he can only retreat to the Middle East, waiting for Rommel to be annihilated little by little.

"Order the troops, immediately advance 10 kilometers, the main three armored divisions detour southward, expand the formation, ready to fight back against the flanks of the Rommel African Army!" Patton stared at the map in front of him, and finally decided to open the decisive battle posture Determination. His character doesn't allow him to slowly go to death. He still has to fight with his opponent Rommel in an upright manner when there is still a chance.

The chief of staff nodded, immediately grabbed the phone in front of him, and issued a command for troop development loudly: "All the troops on standby, move forward, according to the scheduled plan a, and the counterattack will start in 24 hours!"

It was not only the order to counterattack across the board, but the Army Air Command also issued an order to take off the planes of the American and British Expeditionary Forces immediately against the raging German Air Force fighter force. With this interim order, Patton has become The Allied forces surpassed Montgomery's commander on the North African battlefield.

A U.S. tank that followed a car rushed out of the temporary camouflage shed and bunker. The soldiers were busy removing the camouflage from the armored car and the car. One cannon was pulled by the car and pulled out of the original artillery bunker. The American soldier in the car held his weapon and shook his body slightly as the car progressed.

On both sides of the wide road in the desert, American soldiers carried rifles one by one, and they lined up densely. With the slogan neatly moving forward, on the highway, tanks and motor vehicles formed a straight line, a torrent of steel Extending to the end of the sky, people were shocked to the point that they couldn't be added.

Just as American soldiers started to move forward fully, in the field airfield behind the Allied defense line, one after another fighter jets rushed out of the long runway with the roar of the engine, and hundreds of aircraft were launched into the air. Almost only Germany's planes suddenly became lively in the sky. The Germans could no longer dominate the African sky. The Allied forces' fight for losses also prevented the German Air Force's deep investigation of the entire Allied forces.

Fierce air battles broke out in the airspace between the two sides. Eventually, German pilots shot down 71 of the 75 American aircraft coming to the war at the cost of 40 aircraft. However, the air combat is still fierce. Although the Luftwaffe firmly holds the air control, it cannot use the air control to support the ground attack for a while.

"The reconnaissance plane of the 14th Air Wing returned, and the other party put in a new p-40 fighter, which prevented our air force from approaching the reconnaissance." In the German frontline headquarters, Rommel ’s assistant asked Rommel. : "General, do we have to notify the Air Force Wing first so that they can continue to send planes to investigate?"

"It's not necessary. Barton's Tenth * is a shot. After all, it's not easy for them to draw so many planes to compete for air control. It's impossible for a fake move that is optional, so 80% is Barton." Rommel With his hands on his back, he looked at the battle map that was almost exactly the same as that hung in the Barton headquarters, frowning at the marching arrows of the troops above.

"North! Next to the Mediterranean, the troops left behind by Tobruk Montgomery suffered a small loss. I don't think they dare to attack ... Now there are two choices, front and south." Rommel murmured repeatedly in his mouth. In his analysis, he stretched out his hand and tapped on the map with his finger, as if confirming the position of the other party.

"I estimate that Button should have deployed his troops to the south. Only here can we avoid the advantage of the Mediterranean fleet that our army might dispatch." Rommel knocked on the map hanging on the wall and said with a certain tone: "If I were him, I would put my troops to the south! It must be so!"

He glanced at Scherna sitting in the command, and the Italian commander Garibaldi who came to the combat meeting: "My 7th Armored Corps, and the main force of the 12th SS Panzer Division, and My headquarters went south together, preparing to meet our old opponent Patton for a while! After all, we do n’t have much chance to meet again! "

The chief of staff nodded, and similarly ordered the main force to go south. The armored forces gathered together in Germany seemed like a waking ancient beast, and moved its huge body.

With the sound of the departure command, the soldiers packed up their tents and bags, carried their guns, checked their ammunition, accompanied by the rumbling tanks and armored vehicles, and steadily moved towards the sea of ​​yellow sand. In the footsteps, huge swastikas were spread on the roof of the tank, and the officers of the German armored forces sitting on the captain's hatch smiled and gazed into the distance, where they would start a huge battle.

A fighter plane passed the road at a low altitude, passing by a long dragon composed of German Leopard tanks connected one after another. Because there were too many vehicles on the road, and the soldiers on both sides of the road hiked up, the sky was full of dust. It looks like a huge sandstorm moving slowly.

Rommel sat in his car and covered his mouth with a shabby scarf. Because the sand rolled up by the surrounding vehicles really made it impossible to open his eyes, he pressed the plexiglass on the big brim hat and pressed it in one piece. The goggles that came out were put on his eyes and followed his troops quickly forward.

In faraway Berlin, Germany, Akado received a battle report from North Africa in his office. The siege of Alexandria has been heated to the point where the Allied 8th Army led by Button has appeared in Alexandria ’s In the southern region, Rommel is leading the armored forces of his department to rush to block, and the battle to determine the future belonging of North Africa has been triggered.

"I hope Rommel and Scherna don't let us down." Akado closed the telegram from North Africa, glanced at Anna who was standing beside him, and said, "I sent them so many supplies and Equipment, and I have prepared a backhand for them. I hope to hear the news of the victory in North Africa in a few days. "

"It must be, dear." Anna walked behind Akado and stretched out her hands, helping Akado to squeeze her shoulders. , At least 90% of our chances of winning! "
