At five o'clock in the morning the next day, the phone of Rommel's headquarters rang "dingding". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Thomas answered, he covered the microphone and whispered to Rommel: "It's Marshal Cavalero, do you want to tell him that you have slept?" ”

During this time, Rommel had avoided talking directly to Cavalero, and Thomas was used to it.

But unexpectedly, Rommel shook his head and took the microphone, and said into the microphone: "Good morning, marshal!" ”

"God, you're finally free!" Cavalero was furious at Rommel's previous "avoidance", although he knew that Rommel did it on purpose but was helpless, and at this time he couldn't help but complain: "Your staff officer has been telling me that you are not there, I am wondering, can your plane fly in the air for two days?" ”

"Sorry, Your Excellency!" Rommel replied: "You know, our line of defense is very long, and it takes a long time to walk in a circle!" ”

It can also be seen that Cavalero and Rommel are not commanders at the same level, and Cavalero, as a marshal, will vent his grievances on the phone, while Rommel responds very calmly.

"Okay!" Cavalero said: "General Rommel, I think you already know that my 133rd Panzer Division is trapped in Alexandria, do you have any thoughts on this? ”

"Wait a minute!" As he spoke, Rommel raised the microphone.

After a while, there was a "rumbling" of cannon outside.

"Do you hear that?" Rommel asked as he withdrew the microphone.

"You mean ......" Cavalero was a little unsure.

"Yes!" Rommel replied: "We have launched an attack on Alexandria, which is an artillery bombardment of the enemy's lines. I believe that after dawn the siege of Alexandria ceased to exist! ”

"Great!" Caballero's tone suddenly seemed to be a different person: "Thank you very much, General, I knew that you would not ignore the 133rd Panzer Division, and I would be relieved to have you to rescue me...... By the way, what do I need to do? ”

"You can let the 133rd Panzer Division break through after dawn!" Rommel said: "This can put some pressure on the enemy from within!" ”

Rommel didn't expect the 133rd Panzer Division to play much of a role, but few were better than nothing, and they could be used as soon as they could be used!

"Okay!" Caballero replied, then added: "General, next time I want you to let me know sooner!" ”

"Okay!" Rommel replied.

But in fact, Rommel has always been worried that the Italian army will leak information, so if there is a next time, he will do it again.

The Germans did fire at the Chinese line of Maherama, but this was not an attack, but to cover the advance of the German tank units.

The "Tiger" type had to march at night because of the temperature, but there was a problem when marching at night: the "rumble" of the engines of the tank units would reveal the offensive intentions of the German troops, and even their orientation.

These cannons can cover it all up very well.

As on the previous occasion, Heinz had already crossed his minefield with his panzer troops, and as soon as the guns rang out, he gave the order, and the 21st Panzer Division marched in the direction of Alexandria in the darkness of the night.

Looking at the tanks rumbling past him, Heinz Landau couldn't help but silently read: "Chinese, I'm coming!" ”

What Heinz Landau didn't know was that the Chinese were also waiting for him, and faster than he thought.

Zhang Chi divided the troops into three parts, and ambushed them in three parts, forming a large triangle...... This was due to the fact that Zhang Chi could only know the route of the enemy, and in fact, the desert was full of roads that could be taken anywhere, and they could even go around in a large circle if the Germans wanted to.

The advantage of forming a triangle in three parts is that no matter which direction the enemy is coming from, these three parts can flank them, and the third part can be surrounded by a rear.

When he was ambushed in the desert, Zhang Chi once again analyzed the situation between the enemy and the enemy, and thought that it was correct to choose night fighting.

First of all, not to mention whether they are prepared to fight or not, what is more important is that night battles can greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the "Tiger" tank......

As the information says, the gun used in the "Tiger" tank is an 88 anti-aircraft gun, which can destroy the "Sherman" tank at a distance of 1,500 meters, in other words, the "Tiger" tank has a long range, which can be used to the extreme if it is in the daytime.

But if it's at night...... It will undoubtedly be limited by the visual distance.

In addition, the weight of the Tiger tank determines that it is not agile enough, especially since it is a desert, and the loose sand will definitely be a nightmare for the "Tiger", which will bring more opportunities to the lighter and more agile "Sherman".

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of artillery in the direction of the Germans began.

Hearing the sound of this cannon, Zhang Chi knew that he had guessed correctly, and the Germans were about to attack.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Chi saw several side three-wheeled vehicles and an armored car driving nearby, and they also got out of the car from time to time to take a look.

These were German scouts and sappers who specialized in scouting the way for the Tiger tank...... Wherever the "Tiger" goes, a large number of scouts and sappers must take the lead, scouts test the road, and sappers reinforce the bridge to ensure that the "Tiger" can pass.

Zhang Chi found that the route detected by the German sappers deviated slightly from some of the ambush circles he had set up, but in fact, it was not deviated, that is, it was too close to one of the points, almost grazing the edge of the No. 1 ambush point.

It is too far away from the No. 2 and No. 3 ambush sites, and it will only take more than ten minutes to arrive at full speed.

However, it was obviously unrealistic to adjust the position at this time, and the night at this time was full of German scouts, and the slightest change in their own movement would reveal their combat intentions early.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi whispered into the walkie-talkie and ordered: "No. 1 don't attack for the time being, wait for No. 2 and No. 3 to approach!" ”

"Number One understands!"

"Number Two understands!"

"Number Three understands!"

Zhang Chi's sentence actually did not clearly express what he was going to say, but this did not hinder the implementation of the plan...... Several regiment commanders have been fighting with Zhang Chi for a while, and as soon as Zhang Chi speaks, they can guess what to do next.

After a while, there was a "rumbling" sound in the darkness of the desert, and then it became louder and louder, and soon a group of slowly advancing tanks appeared in Zhang Chi's sight.

Perhaps having learned the lessons of the last defeat at Maherama, the Germans slowed down tanks No. 3 and No. 4 to keep pace with the "Tiger" and slowly advanced in a wide battle formation.
