"When did the tanks and anti-tank guns of the British appear? How did we not notice before? In the rear headquarters, Rommel was also wondering.

There's a reason why you chose the northern defense line as your main target, because your armor makes it easy for you to break through their positions, and if they do, they'll be running long distances to Alexandria.

But now, as if he was playing a joke, suddenly, there are large-caliber anti-tank guns in front, and there are tanks that have never been seen before!

"It was our negligence, our reconnaissance planes, which had found signs of tanks, but we only thought it was a trick of the British." Rommel's assistant Lorraine Schhofen said.

In the past, the British had already done this, using rubber inflatable tanks to confuse the Italian army, only to scare them into retreating.

Now, when they reconnoitred and found a large number of tanks, after careful judgment, they decided that it was still the same trick as before, and it turned out to be the real thing.

"The British mainland has been occupied by us, and it is clear that these things are supported by the United States." Rommel gritted his teeth and said: "Americans, what a hateful! ”

In fact, no matter how much the United States supported, the German army was confident that it would defeat the British, and the problem was that Rommel had to win not only but beautifully.

In this case, his casualties will obviously be larger.

"General, should we increase the army on the northern road?" Another staff officer asked.

Now, they still have the 15th Panzer Division as a reserve at hand, which has not yet been put into battle, and is used as a general reserve.

Hearing the words of his assistant, Rommel shook his head: "No, at this time, we should be calmer, what we have is a mobility advantage, we should give full play to the mobility advantage of our tank forces, now, I order, the 15th Armored Division, to assault from the south, break through the British defense line in one fell swoop, surround the British army in the north from behind, and then annihilate them all!" ”

On the narrow offensive surface in the north, if too many troops are invested, it can only be attacked in batches, this kind of refueling tactic is inappropriate, the tank has a mobile advantage, and this advantage must be brought into play, so Rommel chose to open a new front and greet them fiercely from the south!

Now, it is the Italian division that is facing the British army in the south, and Rommel arranged it this way, in fact, to confuse the British, so that the British think that they do not value the south, and now, suddenly going up from the south, they can break through in one fell swoop!

Rommel suddenly changed his tactics, and at this time, Montgomery, on the other side, was also deciding his next move according to his own judgment.

"We can't wait any longer, now, I order, the 7th and 9th Royal Panzer Regiments in the south to attack and break through the lines of the Italian army in one fell swoop!"

"The 13th Army, composed of the New Zealand Division and the 4th Indian Division, followed closely behind, expanding the results, and the Australian Division and the 2nd South African Division formed the 30th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Norrie, and this time, we will surround and annihilate the German legions that invaded Egypt!"

Although there are not many troops from the British mainland, it does not mean that Montgomery's troops are not enough, New Zealand, India, Australia, South Africa, the armies of these colonies are the more formidable forces at his disposal!

His task was not only to hold the line, but also to encircle the Germans and annihilate them all! Don't look at the fierce attack of the Germans now, as long as they cut off their logistics and surround them, their tanks will be scrap metal!

On the map, the offensive route of a large arrow has been marked, and they will pass through the lines of the Italian army, interspersed all the way to the back of the Germans!

This is a bold tactic, and this tactic is fully agreed by Prime Minister Churchill to save Britain in one fell swoop!

Nearly 200 Sherman tanks, forming a huge offensive array, surging out from the Mitrian mountains in the south!

Opposite them, was the position of the Italian 6th Infantry Division.

At this time, the Italian troops were waiting in their positions, bored, they already knew that the offensive from the north had begun, and they did not have to fight any hard battles, it was enough to follow the German army to fight a good battle.

Sitting in their trenches, the Italian soldiers were chatting, the sun outside was poisonous, and they were already a little nostalgic for Sicily.

Suddenly, the ground shook!

"What's going on?" An Italian soldier poked his head out, and his pupils dilated: "Tank, tank, it's the tank of the British!" ”

"Donatro, you're dazzled, aren't you? Where did the British have tanks, they were Germans, right? Another soldier said.

"They're coming from the east! Alert, alert! He shouted loudly.

The other soldiers, just lazily peeking their heads out of the trenches, followed, they were also stunned, sure enough, it was a tank, and there were so many!

Such a force is impossible to defeat, and at this moment, they are already afraid in their hearts!

"Boom!" The Sherman tank on the opposite side opened fire! The 76.2 mm shell flew out of the barrel and hit the open space in front of the trench, instantly blowing off the dirt.

"Quick, quick, report to General Rommel, request reinforcements, request reinforcements!"

They hurriedly took out their weapons to block the attack of the tanks, but more of them were ready to slip away, and when they couldn't beat them, there was no shame in fleeing.

"Listen!" The original soldier shouted again, he pointed to the sky, and in an instant, countless Italian soldiers cheered.

"Hooray, hooray!"

Overhead, the German HS129 attack aircraft and Stukka, painted with a cross, have arrived!

When attacking the northern line, the Luftwaffe did not make a move, because Rommel believed that after a heavy artillery attack, the tanks could break through the opponent's line with a single charge.

As a result, the anti-tank guns came out, and the tanks also came out, and at this time the two sides had already entered a state of melee, so the planes could not be dispatched, and it was easy to cause a misfire.

But now it was different, when it was decided to attack from the south, the attack aircraft units of the Air Force were dispatched, originally intended to bomb the positions of the British, but when they flew over, it was just in time for the British troops to attack!

The British actually launched an attack in broad daylight, don't they know that the sky now belongs to Germany?

Swoop!

Captain Webb drove his sweeper and began sweeping again.
