"It's over!" Stephen breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the adjutant with a very relaxed feeling: "Our mission has been completed, and we just need to wait for the news of victory." ”

"Yes," the adjutant also smiled, relieved, "When General Rommel occupies the headquarters of the LinkedIn Army and captures their commander, this battle will be over." ”

Stephen nodded and motioned for the adjutant to walk back to their tent command post: "If it weren't for the fact that the final strategic goal was marked on the table plan they gave me at the beginning, I'm afraid I would have been dizzy by the series of tactics they had in front of me." ”

Even though he had gone through everything before, Stephen still sighs about the battle when he looks back on it now.

Although the battle is not over yet, the overall situation has been decided! As a commander, Stephen couldn't wait to revisit and analyze the victory.

This is something that any military enthusiast will never get tired of, and it is an important way for a military commander to accumulate experience.

Walking back to the command post, Stephen picked up the battle plan on the table, spread it out and said to the adjutant: "Whenever I look at this battle plan, I wonder if this guy is a cunning fox." If you want to complete a bending surprise attack under the noses of others, you really can't do it without deception kung fu in place. ”

The adjutant also leaned over excitedly, and while looking at the battle plan spread out, he listened to Stephen's analysis: "Prime Minister, General Rommel let us evacuate the forces of the second line of defense, and after freeing up the troops, let us send people, divided into multiple points, to attack the No. 4 high ground in a big way......"

Stephen pointed to the beginning of the battle plan and sighed to the adjutant: "The Germans have long estimated that our troops are not at a high level of attack, so let's simply disperse and use our troops to attack and maximize the strength of our numbers." By the way, it can also give the British the illusion that we will forcibly retake Heights 4 at all costs. And the real target of the German sortie at the junction can also be concealed by our large-scale attack on Heights 4. ”

Stephen discussed with his adjutant the tactics of the battle, which soon attracted several other French staff officers in the command post. They were also French officers, and they were also very curious about this sudden victory.

Just listen to Stephen continue: "There is a key point in this step. That is our attacking force, which must put pressure on the garrison of British High Ground 4 and thus affect the judgment of their command. In order to achieve this effect for our troops with low combat effectiveness, the battle plan specifically put forward a proposal for a multi-point offensive. It seems that we are doing an unfocused offensive, but in fact it is our army that is covering up its weakness in not being able to carry out a forceful and focused offensive. ”

The surrounding staff officers all nodded, they knew that their colonies had recruited troops a few pounds and taels, and they had not reluctantly fought trench warfare by using fortifications, but if they were ordered to launch a strong attack, it would be difficult to achieve anything. There is no way, the training is not in place, the weapons are not in place, what to fight?

But it was this weakness that was cleverly concealed by the German commanders by means of dispersing the offensive. not only covered up their own powerlessness, but even caused real trouble and pressure to the British garrison!

Then, Stephen continued, "Then there is an extended offensive of our attacking forces to the southeast. I think the British commanders must have thought that we were trying to expand the offensive area further. Unfortunately, he didn't understand that this was just an intermediate link in order to further deploy troops and quietly block their route back to the main position. ”

Stephen's lieutenant scratched his hair in embarrassment when he heard this. In fact, when he first saw this part of the battle plan, he mistakenly thought so.

"After the attacking troops have completed the interception and arrangement of the reinforcement route of the garrison on Heights 4, and then converted into a defensive position, our diversion attack on the southern flank of the main British position should have started a long time ago." Stephen smiled a little playfully: "Actually, we only need to contain the southern flank troops of the main British position, and we have already achieved the tactical goal." Reinforcements from Heights 4 could not be brought back, and the troops on the southern flank were pinned down by us, and they were no longer able to stop the surprise attack of the Germans. But ......."

Stephen sneered, making everyone think of what had just happened. In fact, up to this point, everything had been calculated to the limit by the German General Rommel, and the British troops who did not return to the garrison on Heights 4 in time were already bound to lose.

Then, Stephen recounted the more dramatic changes that followed: "And at this time, the British commander actually mobilized reserves to pursue us with the southern flank troops. This clever move hastened their demise, further reducing the number of troops they could use on the northern flank. ”

"Leaving the position and chasing us farther and farther away gave them no chance of playing a role in the battle on the northern flank. At this time, their eyes were still on us, but they didn't know that behind them, the elite of the German army, as our killer weapon, was ready for a surprise attack. ”

After turning the battle plan to the last page and handing it to everyone for circulation, Stephen said to everyone leisurely: "Under the nose of the enemy, let the main force swagger all the way to the enemy's flank, and calmly annihilate the enemy junction garrison blocking the way on this route." The person who can do all this must be a fox-like cunning genius. Every step he takes, he is giving his opponent a basis and reason to make mistakes, inducing them to step into a trap. After making so many bends, it is really a terrifying thing to be able to let the enemy follow step by step. ”

Stephen's words resonated with everyone.

Algeria is a desert-filled battlefield. That, General Rommel, the German army who completely changed the situation on the battlefield with just two battalions, is a well-deserved "desert fox" in this desert area!

This bold and seemingly confusing battle plan is actually a genius plan full of tactical foreshadowing, which is ultimately enough to kill with one sword.

"Now," Stephen said mockingly, looking out of the command headquarters after everyone had seen the battle plan again, "I doubt that the British unit that has been chasing us so far will have the courage to continue fighting us." You must know that behind them at this moment, their own command posts may have been wiped out by General Rommel's German army! ”
