Chapter 5015: I'll be here to watch you go on the march

"I hope that in the future we will be able to get more oil, phosphates, natural gas from North Africa and even those agricultural products, cotton, gum arabic, cork, olive, figs, dates, etc., to bring back to Germany, and even some of the camels there will be brought back to our zoo for people to see."

Looking at Rommel's excited appearance who was aroused by himself, Chen Yanlong continued to incite.

"I will! Monarch! ”

Rommel replied again excitedly and confidently.

"Good! Now get ready to go! I'll be here to watch you go on your journey! ”

Chen Yanlong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"The Führer is wise! Führer victory! ”

For the respect, appreciation, and concern shown by Chen Yanlong, Rommel responded so excitedly for the first time.

He then went to command their troops, and successively entered the UH-1 "Huey" multi-purpose helicopter prepared for them by Chen Yanlong, the Fa-223 Dragon helicopter; and AH-1 Cobra helicopters and other helicopter groups; And hundreds of new C-13O Hercules transport aircraft to sit in the group.

Then under the escort of the Sumig-15, the F-86 Sabre fighter group, and the Ta-152 fighter group, the next batch after batch, began to take off and set off in the direction of North Africa.

"I await the good news of your brilliant victory! Don't let me down, Rommel! ”

Chen Yanlong, under the protection of Kesselring and a large number of guards, watched the group of planes that were gradually decreasing and going away and muttered to himself.

Especially the group of transport planes led by Rommel, his attention was even more focused.

North Africa generally refers to the northern part of the African continent, that is, the vast area north of the Sahara Desert.

The countries there are Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, etc.

North Africa is flat and has more desert areas, so it is also more suitable for tank warfare.

The predominantly ethnic group in North Africa is white, mostly Arab; There are also the indigenous Berbers of North Africa, who are also Caucasians.

Due to the heavy casualties of the German army in the Soviet-German theater, especially in the Battle of Stalingrad, the German and Italian leadership was forced to drastically reduce its support for Rommel's fighting forces in Africa by the autumn of 1942.

As a result, the German and Italian armies fighting in Africa were exhausted and there was a great shortage of military supplies such as weapons, ammunition and fuel, and gradually became more and more troops; and the Anglo-American coalition forces, which became more and more sophisticated in weapons and equipment, and more and more abundant military supplies, were defeated, expelled from the North African battlefield, and fully controlled the air and sea supremacy in North Africa.

The experience of fierce battles such as Operation Torch, the Battle of El Alamein, Operation "Spring Breeze", and the Kasselin Pass, the Battle of Tunis, etc., appeared in Rommel's mind one after another.

At this moment, he is also riding in the C-13O Hercules transport plane with his elite troops, and he is stuck in memories while closing his eyes and recuperating.

"I originally thought that the Führer would send a large number of warships and transport ships to carry us to carry out landing operations in Algiers, Oran, Casablanca and other places, as the British and American troops did, and to carry out one tragic landing operation after another with the British and American troops!"

"It's just that I underestimated the Führer and Kesselring's aviation forces too much, I really didn't expect them to have so many advanced long-range transport planes and fighters!"

"Hey! It seems that this time our North African counterattack will be very fun! ”

"O Montgomery and Barton! You must wait well for my sudden attack from the sky! The humiliation of the defeat at the Battle of El Alamein, I will give you both back double! ”

As soon as Rommel finished thinking about his defeat, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, clenched his fists, and said with a sharp and confident gaze.

Then he gradually relaxed and fell asleep.

Because he had been busy training his troops for more than a week, he hadn't really slept properly.

So when he now feels that he is strong and has a strong aviation force; With the support of the Führer, he was finally able to sleep for a while with peace of mind. [.]
