Chapter 395: A general assault on Montgomery's forces

"Woohoo! Woohoo! Whew......"

Green flares continue to rise into the sky and descend to the ground with the wind.

"The 15th Panzer Division charges me! Come on! ”

"29th Panzer Division, charge!"

"1st Airborne Division, Charge!"

"Herman? Goering Panzer Division, charge! ”

As the German army's charging order was launched, in an instant, the murderous shouts of killing quickly erupted from all directions of Mount Etna and various highlands, resounding through the sky and the earth, making people feel terrible.

At the same time, 200 Leopard and Tiger tanks, as well as 150 T-54 tanks, under the coordinated operation of a large number of infantry, like hungry tigers, menacingly surrounded Montgomery's troops.

In the face of the large-scale general attack of the German army, Montgomery commanded his British 8th Army with a grim face and trepidation, and carried out all-out resistance.

In fact, at this moment, he also wanted to retreat his troops immediately.

But in the face of the attack of the German army, which suddenly appeared in all directions, Montgomery knew that he was designed by the German army and fell into the heavy encirclement of the German army.

That is to say, if he wants to lead his troops to survive at this moment and not be completely annihilated by the enemy, then he can only fight to the death to get out of the encirclement.

Otherwise, they will be surrounded and destroyed, and they will surely die.

The Eighth Army is under the jurisdiction of the 30th Army (under the British 7th Armored Division, the South African 1st Infantry Division and the 22nd Guards Brigade), the 13th Army (under the Indian 4th Infantry Division, the New Zealand 2nd Division and the 1st Army Tank Brigade), the British 70th Infantry Division, the Polish Carpathian Brigade and the reserve South African 2nd Infantry Division, a total of 6 divisions and two brigades. At its peak, the Eighth Army had 10 divisions and 8 independent brigades, with a total strength of more than 22,0000 troops.

Therefore, in the face of the fierce counterattack of the German army and the encirclement, Montgomery was still confident to break through when he was worried.

Because by all accounts, their current strength is greater than that of the German army besieging them.

Although Herman? When the Göring Panzer Division launched a charge, it also brought together a large number of Italian troops who were under their command to deal with Montgomery's troops.

But even so, the German and Italian armies were not as strong as Montgomery now commanded.

It's probably a situation of more than 100,000 against 220,000, but what Montgomery didn't know was that these German troops had a large number of ZPU-4 anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as BYB 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and М-21 rocket launchers and trucks carrying them, as well as Himmler organ rocket launchers, as well as iron bazookas, and 88mm anti-aircraft guns and other advanced weapons and equipment.

Of course, there are also a large number of Leopards, Tigers, and T-54 tank groups to fight together.

Therefore, the German army that Montgomery is facing now is an elite division with high-end weapons and equipment, and because of the support of Chen Yanlong's large amount of ammunition, their logistics supply is still very sufficient.

"Quick! Give me the high ground, don't let those Germans occupy it! ”

"Don't be afraid! Counterattack! Counterattack! We have more troops than they are, don't retreat! ”

"Attack! Attack! What about our tank group! Stop the German tank group over there, they've broken through our defensive position on the left! Go get me back! ”

"What about our anti-tank guns! Gather it all for me and fight back! Blasting open the German encirclement in the southeast, we have to break through from there! ”

"Artillery fire covers! Fast! I must be able to fend off the Tiger tank group in the southwest, and I will never be able to let them encircle our tank group! Come on! ”

"Air Force, call our Air Force here! We must annihilate all the German tank groups! This is a good opportunity, their tank group is already all out against us! ”

"Commander Montgomery! Evacuate! We've broken through the Germans to the south, evacuate with us! It's up to us to deal with these damned Germans, and we've got to knock them down and let them know what the fate of the raid on us will be, and we're definitely not weak troops! ”

When Montgomery's 8th Army Group and the German and Italian forces came into a fierce battle, most of the high-ranking officers of the entire British 8th Army Group were constantly giving various battle orders, or shouting.

However, in the face of the frantic resistance of Montgomery's troops, the German tank groups and infantry coordinated like a bamboo, constantly destroying Montgomery's troops' cluster grenades, anti-tank rocket artillery groups, as well as flamethrowers, and British and American tank groups and other types of troops.

"Rush! Come on! No matter what the price is to be paid before tonight, at least one or two divisions of these British and American troops must be left behind! This is the Führer's order! ”

In the face of the heroic resistance of Montgomery's troops, Herman? Paul, the commander of the Göring Division? General Conrat, however, was expressionless, with sharp eyes and concentrated command of his troops, continuing to annihilate all the British and American troops in front of him, shouting loudly.
