Italy's supreme commander in North Africa was killed, and in the rear, who to send to replace Marshal Balbo was a big deal, and it was necessary to be cautious, Mussolini had been vacillating, not knowing who was better, and in Italy, the battle at the front could not be delayed.

The British army, all the time on the counteroffensive!

This battle has to start from a few months ago, when Germany launched an attack on France and had no time to realize its strategic intentions in North Africa, the Italian army started a new offensive in North Africa, and their goal, of course, was to fight all the way to the Suez Canal!

The Italian army of 250,000 against the British army, which numbered only 30,000, should have won completely.

However, they suddenly reconnoitred and found that a huge armored force had appeared in the British army, so they had no will to fight and chose to retreat, and this retreat never slowed down, not only retreating from Egyptian territory, but now it has been hit by the British along the coastline!

Although the Germans also had troops in Libya, the main task of this force was to protect the oil fields, and they did not have the spare strength to participate in the battle against Egypt.

And now, the British, actually fought all the way to Tubrug!

So, Rommel couldn't wait for the troops in the rear, and at this time, there was only one 66th tank battalion that had just been assembled in the Libyan port!

"Rush!" After receiving the order, the commander of the tank battalion, Karl Maus, loudly gave the battle order and marched towards Tubrug!

The tracks of the tank, crushing the hot earth, the engine of the tank rumbling, so hot that they had to open the cockpit canopy, and even take off their military uniforms, only wearing vests.

The weather here is too hot, but their hearts are even hotter, this is the first battle to enter the North African battlefield, and it must be fought beautifully!

Behind them were the Italian troops, who, according to Rommel's orders, were to follow quickly after the German army had broken through the enemy forces and expand the gains.

However, they did not have much confidence, and along the way, they were almost chased and beaten by the British, who also had a large armored force! Although the German tanks were strong, they were too few in number!

The terrain is different from Europe, where there is wilderness on all sides, and even if the performance of British tanks is not very good, they can take advantage of their numerical superiority to surround the German tank forces from the side, or even from the rear!

Therefore, they were not optimistic about this attack, they followed the German tanks from a distance, and at the same time had already made a plan in their hearts, if the German tanks were surrounded, then they must be as fast as before and run away!

Sitting on his tank, half of his body exposed, the battalion commander Karl Maus, did not take off his clothes, so the army was disorganized, his back was soaked, at this time, holding a telescope, he was constantly searching the empty front.

Twenty kilometers from Tubrug, half an hour ago, the aviation reconnaissance did find a British tank force there, so they could encounter the other side at any time.

In this case, there must be no luck!

He turned his head again and looked back, the Italian army almost on the edge of the sky, what a bunch of cowardly and cowardly guys!

Although General Rommel took over the command of the Italian army, he did not expect them to be very good at fighting, as long as they were left behind and fought a good battle.

Closer, closer, in the process of getting closer and closer to Tubrug, Karl's uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, this kind of march of his own side, it is impossible to hide from the British, what about the powerful armored forces of the British? Why don't you come out to fight?

Could it be that somewhere, where did they set a trap?

"Report, everything is stable ahead, no British armored units have been found." Inside the radio, the voice of the reconnaissance platoon was heard.

With the continuous updating of equipment, the scouts of the armored division have transitioned from the previous motorcycles to wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, which are all-wheel drive combat vehicles that can run fast, and can also be equipped with low-pressure guns, and in case of sudden encounters, they can fight a dozen.

And now, the investigators sent out earlier have not found out about the situation.

It seems that the other party is in the city of Tubrug, waiting for his side to fight in the streets? If there is really a street battle, there is no chance of victory, after all, the group of Italian soldiers behind can't be counted on, and their own infantry did not arrive, and in the street battle, the tank left the infantry, which is very miserable.

At this moment, suddenly, the Italian regiment in the rear was in a commotion.

Tanks of the British! They were surprised to find a large armored force suddenly appearing behind their own side and were stunned.

Suddenly such a huge tank force appeared out of thin air on the entire plain! There are hundreds of them! This posture is about to rush over!

"Run, run!" Almost instantly, they made the decision to run to their tanks and let the Germans go on top!

Behind your own side, a tank unit appeared? This made Carlton stunned, impossible, how did the other party pass?

No matter, since the other party has appeared in the rear, then you have to rush forward!

"Turn, backward, get ready to fight!" Karl shouted loudly.

Hearing his order, a famous tankman pulled the left operating lever to the end, the left track had been braked, and the right track continued to rotate, just like that, around a small angle, the steering was completed, and the action was uniform, and there was even a sense of beauty.

Then, they stepped on the accelerator, intending to move towards the rear just now, to engage the British tanks, and at this moment, a famous driver couldn't help but curse his mother.

This spaghetti army!

They threw away all their equipment, not to mention the cars, artillery, they actually threw away their own rifles, no more grenades, almost empty-handed, and ran towards the German tanks!

Is this the army? It's a disgrace to the military! They are like a flock of sheep, weak and speechless!

Moreover, these people rushed over, which on the contrary created an obstacle to the offensive of the tank troops.

"Regardless of the Italians, triangle attack formation, attack!" Karl shouted.

If the Italian soldiers don't have long eyes and charge towards their own tank formations, they deserve to be crushed! At this time, Carl was excited, although he only had dozens of tanks, the other party had hundreds, and he was not afraid, he would definitely win this battle!
