There wasn't much time to say goodbye, and like last time, Zhang Chi still couldn't tell Page where he was going or what he was doing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

All Zhang Chi could do was to hold Paige in his arms and kiss him deeply.

Until he stepped onto the half-track armored car, Zhang Chi still didn't understand why he did that...... My mind was blank at the time, so I naturally did.

Perhaps, this is because Zhang Chi has seen more steel and war, and needs some gentleness, or Zhang Chi needs the feeling of being cared for or cared for.

Since coming to this world, Zhang Chi has always been alone, without parents and no family, as if he was out of a stone.

In this way, although it is said that the whole family is not hungry, who can understand the loneliness buried in the heart, and who can understand the fear in Zhang Chi's heart...... In fact, he was worried all the time, and when he fell on the battlefield one day, all the traces of himself would disappear without a trace, as if he had never been to this world.

But now, at least Zhang Chi knew that there was someone waiting for him to go back.

At least Zhang Chi knew that one day after the battle, he still had a place to go and someone to find.

With the "rumble" of the tank engine, Page's figure became more and more blurred, and finally disappeared into the dust.

"General!" At this time, a communications soldier handed Zhang Chi a telegram.

Zhang Chi hurriedly withdrew his heart to be released, only to see that the telegram read: "The tank regiment of the 133rd Armored Division has crossed Alexandria and is heading towards Port Said!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing, the Italians were not satisfied after capturing Alexandria, and even wanted to hit the Suez Canal in one go...... Who do they think they are?

They may have learned from the German army, the so-called "blitzkrieg".

But the "blitzkrieg" of the German army was launched when it had done enough intelligence and even sent troops disguised as the enemy to reconnoiter in the enemy's rear, what about the "blitzkrieg" of the Italian army?

The Italians didn't even know that they were approaching them with arguably the strongest armored division in the North African theater...... If they knew this, they should have fled instead of marching forward in high spirits.

"What are you going to do?" Montgomery asked.

Because this was a bit different from the previous plan, everyone would have thought that the Italian army would temporarily stop and organize the defense line after the capture of Alexandria, and no one would have guessed that they would be so ignorant. In a word, it is to give him a little sunshine and it will shine.

Zhang Chi only replied with two words: "Annihilation!" ”

Since the reorganization of the new 1st Division into an armored division, although it has conducted several exercises, the exercises are not comparable to actual combat in any case, so Zhang Chi plans to use the Italian tank regiment to train his hands.

Flipping through the map and looking at it, Zhang Chi gave orders one after another.

The combat scheme is simple, encirclement.

Zhang Chi put a tank battalion and an anti-tank battalion in front, and then the two tank battalions outflanked from both flanks...... "Sherman" tank has a speed advantage over the Italian M14 tank with a speed of only 30 kilometers per hour, not to mention that the Italian army at this time does not know what awaits them in front of them.

The new 1st Division was divided into several parts and plunged into the desert, the yellow dust stirred up by car tires and tank tracks blew into the eyes, ears and nostrils of the soldiers, and the soldiers and the chariots were gasping in the turbid air, although the sand and gravel were all over the way The heat was unstoppable, and the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of gasoline and stinky sweat, especially in the tank, the soldiers were like a steamer, but the soldiers still drove the tank forward quickly.

After a while, after crossing a steep slope, Zhang Chi saw a sparse array of tanks in front of him in front of him, followed by another team, more and more......

"Spot the enemy!" Zhang Chi soon heard the scout's report: "Five miles ahead!" ”

"Stop!" Zhang Chi ordered.

"Yes, stop moving!"

"Stop!"

……

"Master!" Staff Officer Liang looked at Zhang Chi with some surprise: "Why did you stop?" ”

The reason why Staff Officer Liang was surprised was because the strength of the expeditionary force was obviously stronger than that of the Italian army, and it was still unprepared, that is to say, it could completely crush the opponent, so he thought that it was right to speed up and go to a big battle at this time.

Zhang Chi continued to observe while holding the binoculars, and replied: "They are Italian troops, rushing too fast will scare them away!" ”

Staff Officer Liang let out an "oh", and only then did he know Zhang Chi's intentions.

Sure enough, the Italian tanks originally stopped after discovering the "enemy situation", but they saw that the number of tanks on the other side was not large, only about seventy...... And the other party stopped.

The meaning of stopping is that the other party is worried that the strength is not as good as his own!

This made the commander of the Italian tank regiment, Colonel Enzo, immediately let go of his hanging heart, and he immediately reported to Major General Litorio: "General, the enemy armored units have been discovered!" ”

"How many tanks does the enemy have?" Litorio asked.

"There are seventy of them!" Enzo replied: "A tank battalion!" ”

Without hesitation, Litorio ordered, "Destroy them!" ”

"Yes!" Enzo answered, and then gave the order to attack.

Litorio's idea was that Enzo had more than three hundred tanks in his hands, while the enemy had only seventy...... The Italian army has an absolute superiority in strength, and this battle should be easily won, and even if it cannot be overcome, there is no big problem for the Italian tank regiment to withdraw.

This analysis is no problem if it is for the British infantry tanks such as the Matilda or the Crusader, although the speed of the M14 tank is only 30 kilometers per hour, it is more than twice that of the British infantry tank, and it also has an advantage in mobility.

But what Litorio did not expect was that in front of the Italian tank regiment was not the infantry tanks of the British army, but the most advanced "Sherman" in the North African theater at this time.

Then, Zhang Chi was satisfied to see the Italian tanks in front of them in formation and slowly drove up.

With a wave of his hand, the 1st Tank Battalion also slowly approached the Italian tank group.

That's when Enzo sensed that something was wrong, and the enemy looked like he had no fear. If you take a closer look at the enemy tanks painted in the desert in the sand, it seems that their models are different from the ones you have seen before.

Don't......

Thinking about Enzo's face, he couldn't help but change, and then he shouted: "God, the enemy is using a 'Sherman' tank, retreat immediately!" Fall back! ”

But it was too late to give the order to retreat, because the "Sherman" tank group of the expeditionary force had already accelerated and rushed towards the Italians.
