The Airborne Forces, who have been fighting for two days in a row, do not show any fatigue at all. The boys of the Fogel Airborne Division were unanimously respected by the Afrika Army, and they conquered the hearts of the German soldiers of the Afrika Korps with their bravery and skill. At a time when 40 bazookas were not allocated, their anti-tank weapon was a simple and effective "*******" ***. This weapon requires extraordinary courage on the part of the soldiers in order to be effective. This was not a problem for them at all, and the brave Fogel Airborne Division also had the capital to laugh at the general troops. Rommel, who has always loved soldiers like children, was very fond of this group of young men who inherited the martial courage of the Roman legions, and the powerful 40 fires were first distributed to them. Now, the brave Fogle Division no longer has to risk attacking the enemy's tanks at the cost of flesh and blood!

Such brave and skilled elite airborne troops were naturally trained by the Germans, and this German was not an outsider, but the brigade commander of the 1st Brigade of the German Airborne Forces, Rank. Rank's airborne troops were much better equipped than Vogel's, but Rommel, while admiring their equipment, would not entrust them with a heavy task. Because he is good at tactics, he knows that in the desert, the airborne troops who walk on two legs are not as good as the steel tracks of the armored soldiers! Rommel, who was very sports-oriented, liked Napoleon's two sentences: "To march is to fight" and "The ability to move is the ability to war". It was precisely with such an idea as a guide that the Germans, who were good at sports warfare, could not find the north when they did not have an advantage in troops, supplies, equipment, etc. Almost all battles were won by the surprise attack of the armored corps. Similarly, the British had a lot of tanks, but they never tried to use them all together. Even if the dispersed tank has a qualitative advantage, it will only be slaughtered in front of the hordes of German tanks! On the other hand, the airborne troops, the special types of troops doomed them to be only light infantry, their limited anti-tank capabilities have no advantage in defense, and it is difficult to rely on offensive operations on desert terrain where there is no edge in sight. Therefore, it is inevitable that Rommel will not wait to see this group of elites. Fortunately, the calculating Manstein clearly knew where the usefulness of the Airborne Forces was manifested. The Airborne Forces are destined to be surrounded! That's why there are so many elite infantry here, and there are so many strong and strong young men! The just-concluded battle for Gazala was the first shot they fired! The Airborne Forces, if used properly, are a nail wedged into the flesh of the enemy, and the enemy has to deal with them with a large number of troops.

In order to completely protect the mountain-like supplies piled up by Tubruk, the Airborne Forces have once again been dispatched!

First of all, 30 vertical take-off and landing GO229s took advantage of the night when the British South African Second Division was still asleep, carrying 3,000 elite paratroopers of the Ranks Brigade to occupy the port! Elite paratroopers quickly took control of Tubruk's largest distribution center, and they set up defenses in the harbor to paralyze the British air defenses. Especially the powerful 16-pounder gun, there are a total of 16 such things, and 9 of them are arranged in the harbor! The 16-pounder gun is a copy of the German 88 gun, but it was not designed with the function of flat fire in mind, so it cannot become a tank killer like the 88 gun. But even so, its huge shells are a mortal threat to the upcoming FW190HSX! There aren't many FW190HSX weapons that can threaten the rough-skinned and thick-skinned FW190HSX in the whole of Tubruk, and the 16-pounder anti-aircraft gun is the biggest threat among them! The task of the Ranker Brigade is to sweep away this threat for attack aircraft, and it seems that they have done a good job of this task so far.

Soon, the heavily fortified port was attacked by the British, who were already aware of it! Klopp, the supreme commander of the British army Tubruk, has lost his square inches with blows at every turn! He instinctively thought of the ammunition, gasoline, food, and other supplies stored in the port warehouse area. So the first order is to retake the port! If you can't do it, you can burn these massive supplies in one fell swoop, and you must not leave them to the Germans! But he didn't expect that the Ranker Brigade was a rather hard bone to gnaw!

The Grant tank was followed by the infantry on the way to the docks, and the sky was already a little brighter. Visibility is about 200 meters. The two guns on the Grant tank had already been loaded with shells, and the gunner's fingers had been preparing on the trigger of the fire for a long time. Suddenly, without warning, there was a buzzing sound, followed by the whistling *** explosion hitting the tank! The infantrymen who were following closely behind the tank were naturally injured in a large area, and suddenly wails rang out!

Just when more soldiers of the South African Second Division were swarming to rescue their injured comrades, a loud bang of "Peng" suddenly sounded! It was the German airborne troops of the 1st battalion of the Ranke Brigade who detonated a large anti-infantry directional mine! 6,000 tiny steel balls came into close contact with the British soldiers at a speed of 3,600 meters per second! Now, a moment later, there was no one standing within 100 meters of the explosion point on this wide street.

At the same time, assault armored clusters that have long been assembled on standby. Received an order to start the attack. More than 500 tanks, spewing far cleaner exhaust fumes than before, began to assault the outer fortress of Tubruk at a breakneck speed!

The first tank is a giant monster that has just been painted! The thick barrel, which is obviously much faster than other tanks, and its agile and powerful posture immediately attracted the attention of the defenders!

This is a soldier-to-general, gun-to-gun, gun-to-gun war! Tubruk's perimeter defense was far more complicated than Rommel had imagined, and the entire perimeter was built by the Italians, and strengthened by the British for a long time, so it was impregnable! Auchinleck was expecting a strong defensive line to be highly weakened against Rommel's Afrika Korps. Naturally, Rommel was unable to carry out offensive operations with his limited forces.

This circular fortress is about 55 kilometers long, consisting of anti-tank trenches and bunkers. The bunker has a diameter of about 100 meters and is equipped with anti-tank gun emplacements, mortar gun emplacements, machine gun nests and other defensive measures. There is also a barbed wire fence in front of the bunker. Anti-tank trenches were camouflaged with thin planks and were difficult to detect. The second line of defense is located 2,500 meters from the first line of defense and consists of a stronger bunker. Anti-tank guns, mortars and machine guns are also available. In front of the bunker is an anti-tank trench up to 2.4 meters deep, and behind the trench is a minefield 1,000 meters deep. About 1 million ** are buried here.

All this was detected by the meticulous intelligence work of the German army, and almost silent drones flew day and night over Tubruk! Naturally, the British have nothing to hide.

The temperature above the command car was cool and pleasant, not comparable to the weather outside the car. Rommel, who had just come out, was refreshed, but he was frightened by this moment, as if he were in the North Pole. Directly cold, but Rommel could not handle it with common sense. He has always been a fighting marshal, not a marshal sitting in the command headquarters and strategizing! Soon he recovered from the state of panic that he had been caught off guard at first.

However, it's not just him. The same was true of the Afrika Korps soldiers watching around. They were terrified when they saw that the thick barrel of the cannon dared to be pointed at their beloved marshal! With a unanimous whistle, they all climbed into the car. Bang and bang on the thick armor of the tank with fists, belt buckles, boots, and everything else you can touch! A large number of soldiers quickly rushed in front of the marshal, lined up in an airtight and tight human wall. He actually wanted to use his flesh and blood to defend the marshal from shells!

On the tank, the soldiers of the African soldiers searched and searched, but they couldn't find the door of the tank, and they wanted to enter one by one, scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry, shouting! Rommel stopped the soldiers who wanted to escort him behind a safe bunker, and with great wisdom he had already guessed who was in the tank! Because there is only one person in this barracks who has such technical ability to make this big guy, and that is Xiao Afu, who is currently seen by everyone and loves cars! On the one hand, he is very grateful to these young men who are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect themselves, and on the other hand, he is very helpless about the pranks of his capable "technical officer"! Doesn't this guy know that it's rude to casually point a cannon at someone else!

Rommel waved his hand to stop the young men who were bent on entering the tank, and arranged in time for everyone to find out a little thin man who desperately got into the muzzle! Seeing that the calm marshal's face did not change and his heart did not beat, he was not at all stunned by this huge tank. The soldiers, as usual, complied with Rommel's orders and left the tank. In addition, the tank did not make any further movements, so it stood aside to protect and did not take any further attack on the tank, which had no way to enter.

Rommel saw that the tank was crawling with people and finally revealed its true face, so he paced calmly and carefully observed the details of the tank. However, this kind of tank was different from what Rommel had seen before, and he could not understand some of the parts on this tank, and it was difficult to judge its performance. Of course he can't understand such an advanced thing! Like those soldiers, he did not find the entrance to the tank door.

"Buzz - the onlookers were in a dazzle, and the crowd was in an uproar. The gist is: If we had known it was you, we wouldn't have been so nervous!

Rommel, who was carefully observing the tank, was not affected in the slightest, he was extremely fond of such a mighty tank, and the image of the tank in the marshal's mind was suddenly fixed on its body! He stroked the huge body emotionally, like he was stroking his Lucy!

"The tank is good, but how can I only see one," Rommel replied casually.

Hearing the slightest complaint in Rommel's surprise, an optimist like Li Ming was provoked by old resentment, and he immediately pointed his fingers and said angrily: "Hey! Don't mention this stubble, the tank designed by Lao Tzu is majestic and majestic, as fierce as a tiger, but those ignorant whites in the command department just don't fucking open their eyes! didn't even pass mass production, and forced Lao Tzu to start a new stove and let Lao Tzu redesign, isn't this a slap in the face! If you don't let me build a door, I don't believe in that evil, I have to try one!

By the time he finally finished the 100 bazooka, his eyelids were already heavy and he couldn't lift them!

Michael Schumacher, the commander and gunner of Rommel himself, instructed everyone to place the tired living treasure in the warm camp, and then the car king, who was deeply fascinated by the tiger king, plunged headlong into the tank.

Snoring was heard in the German barracks, and the tension on the eve of the war was not visible at all. Where could the British have imagined that in a few hours when they were sleepy, the Germans would come in!
