Chapter 334: Sabotage

The accident was that the Soviet railway network was strategically bombed by the Luftwaffe! Almost all railway hubs have lost their original role, and their transportation has been extremely difficult! As a result, technical weapons produced in the Ural industrial zone of the Far East could not reach the front. The supply of the nearly 10 million army on the front line cannot guarantee sufficient supply! The crisis befell the Soviet front overnight!

It turned out that when Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union were fiercely discussing Germany's willingness to negotiate peace, and when they were drawing up a closer cooperation agreement, Li Ming ordered the newly formed Luftwaffe strategic bomber force to attack the Soviet Union at night!

The strategic depth of the Soviet Union was well known and enormous, so their logistics were destined to be more fragile than on other fronts! There are many, many places that can be truncated, in order to buy Rommel more time, so that he can calmly arrange the next Egyptian campaign. Bai Qi must eliminate the potential threat of the Soviet Union to a minimum, and our bombing is the most economical, direct, and effective way. The Soviet railway line, which stretched long distances to the Far East, was a good target for attack

The ultra-long range of the aircraft can calmly hit the soft underbelly of the Soviet Union! Li Ming gave an order! The high-altitude and high-speed breakthrough aunt group was each loaded with 200 tons** and flew to their respective targets! Li Ming's tactics of attacking the east and the west are about to achieve huge results!

Previously, the countries of the world learned through various channels that Germany had a huge transport aircraft, but unfortunately there was no detailed information. After the failure of the British attempt to send bombing the battalion, any strategic bombing against Germany was stopped! They simply could not afford such huge losses that could not be returned, and all kinds of intelligence activities in Germany also encountered unprecedented difficulties, and Heydrich, an intelligence genius, had all kinds of advanced equipment, which was like a tiger with wings. Put his British, American, and Soviet counterparts in a precarious situation, and be controlled everywhere! Rommel's victory was not enough to compare with the results he achieved! During this period, the Soviet "Red Orchestra" was wiped out! Intelligence stations at all levels in the United States were forced to close, and the British military intelligence bureau suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw from the entire territory of Germany! The territory of Germany is almost emptied, and the security of the country has never been stronger!

The whole of Germany was formatted by Heydrich! There are no more spies in Germany!

The intelligence services of various countries around the world have been speculating about what Germany's next strategic direction will be because they have not had any definite information in Germany for a long time. Ever since the Germans stopped moving forward on the Eastern Front, the Afrika Korps had been winning victory after victory. Now Rommel's 100,000 tigers are about to occupy the Suez Canal, and the beautiful and rich Nile Delta is like a charming and moving girl, gradually showing itself in front of the German-Italian army! The Americans are still quite afraid of the combat effectiveness of the German army, and their army is a group of recruits who have not experienced actual combat! The American GIs in the fancy world are not as good as the British army in terms of combat effectiveness.

Their equipment is also not at all superior to the Germans, and the Sherman tank has proven to be no match for the Leopard 3 and the Tiger! The Americans have already begun to develop the next generation of main battle tanks, and their powerful scientific and technological and industrial strength has produced a prototype of a heavy tank in the shortest possible time, and this combat vehicle is a prototype of the "Pershing" tank. The 46-tonne vehicle gave the vehicle strong protection, and the 90mm gun was converted from a powerful anti-aircraft gun of the American army. They borrowed the essence of the design of the British 88 anti-aircraft gun that the British army fought in the African theater and applied this experience to the tank. The Americans believed that this tank would pose at least enough of a threat to the new German tank, and they were clearly overestimating themselves.

The British, of course, were not willing to be left behind in tank design, and they retrofitted the Sherman tank

In the dark night, the unusually conspicuous anti-aircraft artillery tongue of fire filled the entire area of the port, and the main owner calmly smashed the 30 guns, ***, and laser-guided ** into the anti-aircraft gun position that was beating Zhenghuan! 300 attack aircraft began the game of hunting anti-aircraft guns! They shot from afar, taking advantage of the moment when the anti-aircraft artillery hit the fake plane, and launched a surprise attack on the side, and for a moment the real and false, the false and the real British took it all seriously!

Soon, the barrels of the anti-aircraft guns that were still firing at the "Sudden Burst" were red and red, and the artillerymen hurriedly changed the barrels with heat-insulating gloves to destroy the German devils in the sky! But they didn't have a second chance to shoot, and the attack planes with plenty of ammunition didn't leave them any chance! The machine guns mounted under the wings, the airborne cannons, ***, ** a total of 7 tons of bomb load are fiercely venting the flames, and the target is the anti-aircraft gun!

The British suffered heavy losses tonight, and the anti-aircraft artillery positions were largely wiped out. //www. Their night fighter units also did not appear on the battlefield, and the prestige of Masseri had already shocked the whole of Africa! Every pilot of the RAF wanted to shoot down the "Yellow 14" plane, but in every battle the British were shot down. Until now, except for the French ace who once left a scar on Mathery, no British pilot has ever hit the "Yellow 14" fighter!

Besides, the combat effectiveness of British aircraft at night, which was not equipped with airborne radars, was almost zero! It was difficult for them to keep flying in formation in the dark of night, let alone join the chaotic air battles. The gap in technology is also a guarantee of German air supremacy!

Just as the 300 Afrika Korps planes were running out of ammunition and preparing to return home, the baton was picked up by the attack planes of the Second Air Force that came from afar, and they flew 400 planes at this time, each carrying 5 tons of ammunition to continue to bomb Alexandria indiscriminately! After the first round of strikes, the British anti-aircraft guns became mute, and the "Albatross" carrying the Airborne Forces flew here under the escort of the "Star of Africa" in Mathery. The paratroopers were equipped with new combat uniforms, and everyone entered the battlefield with new weapons in highly efficient body armor! Most of the battleships of the British Royal Navy were already sunk at the berths, and their artillery fire was no longer functional! Almost all of Alexandria has become a huge battlefield for paratroopers to play freely! The "Albatross" flew back at high speed, and the 30-ton load brought 300 modified No. 3 assault guns suitable for urban warfare, which will accompany the paratroopers to attack the entire port, and with the support of strong protection and powerful 75 guns, more than 50,000 paratroopers have sufficient strength and powerful firepower. It was certainly easy to take the whole of Alexandria!

The Leopard 3 and the Tiger, who were waiting at the other end of the battle line, had already washed their dust, prepared enough ammunition, and filled up with fuel. Waiting for the order to attack. To anyone's surprise, the British did not meet them with the traditional pattern of fire from anti-tank guns and artillery regiments, but instead used long-cowering planes!

Aircraft have an innate advantage in fighting tanks, fast and flexible maneuvers, and top-down strikes make tanks unable to resist and have nowhere to hide. No wonder there were not many British planes in Alexandria, and it turned out that Mönggol was ready to deal with German tanks with his back hand! Perhaps it was the great effect of the aircraft against the No. 3 assault gun cluster that impressed Montgomery and taught him this trick to fight tanks. He repeatedly demanded domestic aircraft supplies, and now the British have surpassed Germany in the rate of aircraft production. They concentrated their resources on building high-performance aircraft such as the Spitfire, Mosquito, Wellington, etc., with the intention of competing with the Luftwaffe in the sky! The powerful industry of the Americans was already in full swing at this time, and they were not comparable to the three Germanys with full firepower! Mustang, Lightning, Black Widow, and other aircraft continue to leave the factory, and the most terrifying thing is that their 40 guns are already standard equipment. In order to deal with German tanks and Luftwaffe aircraft that can defend against 0.50-inch machine guns, Britain and the United States decided to sacrifice the maneuverability of the aircraft to have sharp teeth that can tear German planes apart! The progress of German science and technology and the installation of new aircraft have directly caused a new round of armament innovation!

The British and Americans all realized that it was impossible to talk about air supremacy victory without going to Africa, and the 16 aircraft carriers they brought in this Torch Program carried more than 1,000 aircraft, and they were flexible and mobile in various regions, aiming to make the Luftwaffe tired and take care of one and the other! The importance of the two countries to the African theater of war caused great concern in the top echelons of the German army. The command center of the German army, headed by Manstein, deeply felt the inadequacy of the existing forces in Africa. They mobilized troops in France, Poland, Greece and other places to prepare for reinforcements in Africa. The feast prepared for the eggs of 100,000 American recruits should also be freshly baked.

Now, the German tank cluster on the battlefield in Egypt is helpless in the face of the menacing British aircraft! There were only 50 attack aircraft supporting them, which was not enough to deal with the Royal Air Force that poured out. Although it has rough skin and thick flesh, it flies fast, and its firepower is fierce, and it constantly shoots down incoming enemy troops. But it still can't stop the British planes that dive bombing! All the tanks of the German army scattered and fled in the face of the sudden catastrophe, and the original neat attack queue had long been out of order, and they rushed towards their own air defense positions at full speed! Most of the foam on the German positions were captured 47mm guns from the British, and the little Afu used them on trucks to support the suppression of local infantry. Now the small cannons made by the motorized infantry behind the tank have come into play, and they have aimed their muzzles at the British planes in the sky, and fired a dense barrage one after another!

The Leopard 3 and the Tiger are not helpless, their weapon station has a maximum firing angle of 60 degrees, and they are also spraying steel at the sky at the moment! The British planes were actually a desperate tactic, and they accidentally crashed into the "Albatross" in the gap between the German fighters escorting the "Albatross"! Just took advantage of the loophole, Meng Geer's luck was really unusual. But the fortuitous factors on the battlefield often changed the outcome of the war, and this time Rommel's offensive plan was ruined! Although the 250 pounds** carried by the British aircraft are not very powerful, if you hit the tiger directly, it can blow the tiger back to a parts state! Even a closer ** is likely to overturn the tank, so both leopards and tigers can escape quickly!

After receiving a hundred thousand urgent calls from the tank commander - General Bismarck, commander of the 21st Panzer Division. Mathery and his 60 fighters hurried to the war zone! They left 40 aircraft to continue escorting the "Albatross". In fact, the German battlefield early warning aircraft had already informed Rommel of the accurate information of the attack of the British plane, and Rommel took it for granted that the Royal Air Force had already broken the backbone of the German army. They couldn't have enough strength to stop the attack of his new tank cluster, and he was a little too confident in the air defense capabilities of the new tanks!
