Chapter 188: Total Annihilation of the Anglo-French Coalition 3

Thinking of this, the British commander asked: "By the way, how many tank units can our army muster to participate in this night attack?" ”

"Back to the commander, there are less than forty tanks left in our army. There are only thirty-seven of them. The chief of staff said helplessly:

"Enough, enough. We can make good use of the strong assault capabilities of tank forces. Quickly break through the first line of blockade deployed by the black African army in front of us. As long as our army successfully opens the gap in the first blockade line. Then all of our army units instantly poured into the positions of the black African army. Then under the cover of these thirty-odd tanks. I believe that our army will not only be able to break through victoriously, but also give the other side a surprise blow. When the time comes, victory will be ours. The British commander said confidently:

Later, when the British commander saw the French commander coming to his office, he told him about his battle plan. The French commander listened. clenched fists slammed into the desk in front of him. Facing the commander of the British army, he said with a resolute face: "Okay, the current situation of our army is already very critical. It could be wiped out at any time. In the hope that I agree to do so. We, the French troops, also took part in the night attack tonight. We have more than 40 tanks in our French army, and all of them will take part in it. Let's give it a go. ”

"Well, you will be able to convey the orders of your French army. At that time, the main forces of our two families began to assemble in the direction of the West Gate. The start time of our night raid is set for two o'clock in the morning tonight. That time is the time when people are most likely to get sleepy. It was also the time when the African army outside the city was most lax in its defenses. Let's check the time of the watch. ”

"Okay, let's assemble there at two o'clock in the morning, and then the tank units of our two families will take the lead in attacking the black African army in front of the West Gate, and all the officers and soldiers of our two armies will follow closely behind the tank troops. Quickly break into the positions of the African armies, and take advantage of our large numbers to engage in hand-to-hand combat with them. Take advantage of our numbers. Annihilate all the troops on its first blockade line. The French officer said:

The face of the chief of staff of the British army was also instantly covered with a fiery and expectant expression at this time. Facing the two senior generals in front of him, he replied very confidently: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the two commanders." The final victory of the night attack tonight must have belonged to our brave British and French soldiers. belonging to our British Empire and the French Republic. ”

"The subordinates will go and convey the orders of the two commanders to prepare for tonight's night raid." After speaking, the chief of staff of the British army, with a strong expectation and confident expression, had already walked out of the headquarters of the coalition army with his head held high.

At this time of the African night, especially today, there was a sparse drizzle in the sky. In addition, there are gusts of cold wind blowing from time to time. The soldiers of the African People's Liberation Army (APLA) lying on guard in the trenches, although each of them was wearing a thick suit and waterproof suits. Wearing a thick hat and leather gloves. However, the biting cold wind continued to burrow into the coats, testing the soldiers' patience with the cold.

However, for fear of non-combat attrition, their higher command allowed them to light bonfires on their positions at night to keep them warm. The heat wave generated by the raging fire of the bonfire made these soldiers who were sticking to the front-line position feel a lot of warmth to some extent.

As time went on, the warriors who still endured and endured torture in the cold. Gradually, he forgot the order given to him by his commander before leaving, and began to move towards the location of the campfire, feeling the warmth brought to him by the scorching heat generated by the raging fire.

Under the shroud of warmth generated in this flame, the chill on the warriors' bodies suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a strong sense of sleepiness gradually surged into the hearts of these officers and soldiers, making them begin to take a nap.

Unconsciously, more than half of the soldiers of an infantry regiment in charge of rotating duty were gradually falling asleep around the bonfire. As for the officers and soldiers who still stuck to the cold wind, they squatted motionless in the trenches and shrunk their whole bodies under their military coats, hoping to block the biting cold wind of the night and expel the chill from their bodies.

The front-line position, which stretched for nearly two kilometers, continued to cool down, and at this time, not a single African soldier turned his attention to the walls of Chipata, which was three kilometers away.

At this moment, the west gate of the Strange City, which was close to three kilometers away, and the gate that had been closed for several days was suddenly opened.

Immediately after, the soldiers of the Anglo-French army, densely packed and heavily armed, quietly poured out of the city gate like a flood that burst the embankment. Subsequently, the company platoon quickly assembled secretly along the city wall outside the city.

In less than an hour, all the main forces of the British and French forces, and nearly 100 companies and platoons of soldiers' combat units were assembled. Nearly a hundred army phalanxes exuding a murderous aura stood motionless under the city walls. Seems to be waiting for something.

At this moment, inside the city wall behind these soldiers, there was a dull roar of engines, which really startled the soldiers of the British and French forces standing outside the city wall.

In the original battle plan of the two senior commanders of the Anglo-French forces, there were less than 90 tanks and armored vehicles left in their tank and armored forces, all of which were hidden in the city near the city gates. Once the tank units of the African army break through and their own army forces intercept them, these remaining tank units will immediately set off and launch a counterattack against the black African tank units that have broken through into the position with lightning speed, and will melee with the tank units of the black Africans, and then with the cooperation of their own army infantry, they will be quickly wiped out under the walls of the city. Then the whole army fled from here in rapid advance.

Therefore, at this moment, the remaining nearly 100 chariots of the Anglo-French army are all hidden within the hollowed-out city walls. The dull roar of the engine had just sounded, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Japanese, British and French forces had not yet reacted from their sudden shock. A loud crash sounded from behind to everyone's ears.

Then, the city wall behind everyone began to collapse. Tanks with high muzzles, accompanied by a dull roar, burst out of those gaps.
