Chapter 126: The Marshal Arrives

Fighting when it was time to fight, retreating when it was impossible to fight, and surrendering if it couldn't retreat, there was nothing to be ashamed of for the British army.

At first, when they faced the attack of the Iraqis, they fought bravely, which was the mission of their soldiers, and now, when the German tank forces appeared, they could not win against the Germans.

They had no anti-tank weapons in their hands, and they were being bombed by German attack planes on their heads, and when the German tank units rushed over, they would all be crushed into pulp, with no hope of victory.

At such times, there is no shame in their surrender.

Karl Maus's tanks rushed to the British air base, at this time, the air base has raised the white flag, Karl Maus is no stranger to this scene, all the way, they are famous, and many British troops along the way will surrender.

"Our mission is accomplished." Karl Maus shouted to the Iraqi officers: "Hey, which of you is the supreme commander here?" ”

Salah al-Din happily ran over: "I am the commander of the 3rd Division, one of the main personnel of this uprising. ”

"Okay, you are responsible for taking the British prisoners in this base into custody, counting all kinds of supplies here, and waiting to be handed over to Field Marshal Rommel." Karl-Maus shouted, "Now, we're going to go." ”

Going? Hearing Salah al-Din's questions, a charge of the German army scared the British into surrender, now, where are they going?

When he watched the German tank units leave and re-embark on the road, he suddenly understood, and couldn't help but pat himself on the head, does this need to be said? To Baghdad, of course!

Baghdad.

Rashid walked up and down on the ground, sometimes he would look up and look out the window, sometimes he would look down at the map spread out on the table, and Rashid was quite restless at this time.

The Iraqi army that went to besiege the base in Habaniyah has not yet had good news of victory, can't they even take such a base?

And, what if the casualties are too great?

Rashid was in a hurry, and suddenly, the commander of the Air Force, Hammud, hurriedly ran over: "Good news, everyone, good news!" ”

Hammud panted and said to several colleagues: "The German troops have arrived, with their help, we have captured the base in Habaniyah, and now, German tanks are advancing towards our Baghdad!" ”

Rashid's face suddenly relaxed, the German tanks are about to come, and now, there is no need to worry about the British counterattack!

"Quick, let's go meet the German army together!" Rashid's face was full of smiles: "Marshal Rommel, it will definitely be there soon." ”

What are the German tanks coming for? Baghdad has fallen into their own hands, and they have only one task, which is to make a noise, set up a position, and meet Marshal Rommel!

Of course, there are also security considerations, they want to protect the safety of Marshal Rommel, and at the same time, there are also deterrent considerations, to show their force, to warn those in Iraq who are inclined to the British, not to try to overthrow the new Iraqi regime!

Although Rashid is the new prime minister of Iraq, he was appointed by the king, but now Rashid knows very well that whether he can sit in this position forever depends entirely on the attitude of the Germans.

He behaved quite religiously, and ran all the way to the main roads of the city of Baghdad to meet the arrival of the German troops.

Soon, German tanks came, and by this time, it was already evening.

The night sky in Baghdad was clear, and the tanks rumbled up, and Karl Maus stood on the tanks, watching the crowd of people greeted below.

"Welcome to our German friends." "We have everything in place for us to sing and dance and celebrate the rebirth of Iraq, and you are our most honored guest," Rashid said. ”

Karl Maus looked at Rashid in surprise, the prime minister of Iraq, who was so groveling at this time, Karl Maus, as a soldier, did not have much etiquette: "Prime Minister Rashid, we need to impose martial law in Baghdad to prevent any danger." ”

"Okay, we'll help you with martial law." Rashid readily agreed, and Rashid did not hesitate to impose martial law on the armies of other countries in their own capitals.

Soon, the German tank forces set up barricades on various streets in the city to maintain a high level of vigilance, especially the main roads in the city, which were completely blocked.

In the second half of the night, the infantry division arrived, and the German infantry, disembarking from the infantry fighting vehicles, defended the place more closely.

When it was dark, finally, on the horizon, a convoy appeared.

As the supreme commander, Rommel cherished his life even more, and he would not swagger in a high-end car here, even if it was a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz sedan, which had no chance of surviving the bomb attack.

He came in a tank, which is larger than the Panther 3 tank and looks more powerful, which is quite rare in the Middle East.

Germany's new generation of tanks, Tiger!

With the large-scale production of Tiger tanks in factories in Germany, in addition to the refitting of local troops, overseas troops are also refitting on a small scale, and Rommel has also obtained dozens of them.

After all, the Panther 3 tank is enough to deal with any threat in the Middle East, so the Afrika Korps Tiger tank is not necessary, and the small-scale equipment is just for them to adapt in advance.

Rommel rode in one of the commanding Tiger tanks.

Officers at all levels of tank units almost all command battles in tanks, but their tanks do not directly rush to the front line, so this kind of commanding tank is different from other tanks.

For example, the ammunition base of the tank will be greatly reduced, even to half of the normal model, so that enough space can be freed up to install more radios, gunners, loaders are also part-time, their main task is to operate the radio, to convey combat orders to subordinates.

It is also said that the command tank does not have a gun barrel, which is not appropriate, and the tank without a gun barrel is easy to be found by the enemy and besieged, so the command tank is no different from the ordinary tank in appearance, and even in order to confuse, the ordinary tank is also equipped with the same two antennas as the command tank, one of which is useless, just to cover the command tank.

Rommel did not show up in the city of Baghdad, and the Tiger commanded the tank, mixed with several other Tigers, and drove to the Prime Minister's Office in Baghdad in one go.
