"Quickly increase the reconnaissance troops for me, I want to find out every move of the German mechanized troops, and let our remaining mechanized troops meet the Germans immediately, and at the same time contact the Soviet and American troops to see where they are now? Can you rush over to support us in the battle? ”

It was only after a long time that William Joseph Slim recovered from his shock and quickly gave the order.

"They are also being attacked by the Germans, and now I am afraid that there are no extra troops to support us!"

Operations Staff Officer McDowell replied with a wry smile.

“......”

William Joseph Slim was speechless.

"Then immediately inform me that the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Armed Forces, Sir Auchinleck, and the Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces in the Middle East, General Waver, and Lieutenant General Quinan, will come to see me! I'm going to have an emergency battle meeting with them right away! ”

"This time, we must find a way to resist the attack of the German mechanized troops under the command of Guderian, and we will definitely not be defeated by these German troops again as before!"

Then William Joseph Slim continued.

"Yes! Commander! ”

Looking at William Joseph Slim, whose gaze had become sharper, McDowell, the combat staff officer, no longer spoke, but immediately replied.

In response to McDowell, the combat staff officer, William Joseph Slim nodded lightly and lowered his head, and immediately devoted all his energy to the battlefield.

Even if there is an emergency combat meeting, but now that Guderian's mechanized troops have blitzed out of his own turf, how can he not be in a hurry.

Moreover, most of the current replenishment of British troops in Iran and Iraq comes from the remnants of Australia, Burma and India, and most of the weapons and equipment they use are also mixed with American aid, including tanks, which also use American M3 tanks and M4 Sherman tanks.

The combat effectiveness of the tanks, which are prone to fire with many defects, is not at all as powerful as the T-54 tanks used by the German army today.

In fact, whether it is the M3lee tank, the M3 tank light tank, or the new M4 Sherman tank newly designed by the US military, it is also on a par with the mechanized and armored forces of the German army commanded by Guderian, as well as the tanks equipped.

Moreover, even the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks equipped by the former second-rate armored units of the German army are more effective than the M4 Sherman tanks equipped by the US army.

"My current hard-to-head tactics are definitely not a good idea! However, in order to better understand the strength of the German army's mechanized troops and tank troops, I had to sacrifice some tanks to test it! ”

"But in order to reduce the number of casualties among our native soldiers of the British Empire, I must draw the American and Soviet armies into this sudden battle! Otherwise, if we only rely on our British troops to fight the German army alone, it will be like sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger and looking for death by ourselves! ”

"Guderian's mechanized troops and tank units are not comparable to those Peeding tank groups of the Japanese army! Nor can the M3 tanks and M4 Sherman tanks of the US army easily defeat! ”

When McDowell, the combat staff officer, accepted the order to leave, William Joseph Slim looked at him with a fierce look and quickly thought about the pros and cons of what he was about to do.

He immediately had his guard prepare a car and take him to the front line to observe the battle between Guderian's mechanized troops and his own British troops.

Going to the front line and carefully observing the enemy situation is something that William Joseph Slim has been doing a lot lately.

In the past, he didn't do this often, because he and his guards had also learned the ruthlessness of the Japanese army, and it was definitely not fun, because he would be killed by a sudden attack by the Japanese army every minute.
