The two days in Aziziya were not long or short, and because they had just experienced a difficult battle, they were naturally not assigned to the front line again, of which the repair of the car took up one day, and the next day they began to prepare for the retreat.

Because Aziziye has no inhabitants for a long time, the situation of the aborigines tearfully bidding farewell to the garrison in ancient times will certainly not happen, and in addition, the replacement of the two divisions must also fill the gap caused by their withdrawal, and there is no opportunity to say goodbye or encourage each other, everything seems to be orderly but makes people feel that they come and go in a hurry

For the city of Aziziye, which is about to leave, Trod does not have much to be nostalgic for. Although it is said that he has been fighting on the front line before, he has never been so tired. Almost every day is full, and even when they rest at night, they are not too far away from their chariots in many cases, let alone the five of them who are joking in the car and staying up late at night.

The loss of personnel of the 47th Division was mainly concentrated in non-armored combatants, who dared to move forward bravely without armor protection and fill in the gaps in the defensive line in this battlefield where artillery was under fire.

Of course, if you want to talk seriously about casualties, the 47th Division is not qualified to speak first, and the infantry division that cooperated with them in defense has now been defeated by at least a third, and its combat effectiveness has dropped by half! This is also the main reason for this replacement.

They were tired of seeing the tragic situation of their comrades, whether it was Trode or other armored soldiers, and that street recapture battle had even become a lingering nightmare for Trode, but from the back, it was still a battle they won. And those who lost the battles without a complete body. Those who survived were reluctant to mention it, whether it was the British army or the German army, this Azizier was a meat grinder for them, just like the "Verdun" in World War I.

In fact, the general situation of the battle, even if Tlord didn't ask, would have known it a long time ago. If the outflanked Germans succeeded, the British army in Aziziyah would be defeated, and since the above would go to great lengths to replace two divisions to bring in, it would also prove that the battle of Tripoli would not end so easily, after all, this was the last battle of the British in front of their British homeland, Egypt, and there was no reason why they should not fight with all their strength.

Although Tripoli is off the coast, neither side transports supplies by sea, for the simple reason that many of the supplies transported by this low-cost method sink to the bottom of the sea. Although Britain as the former "sun never sets" hegemon. The strength is not as good as before, and the weight of the European continent has plummeted, but whether in Europe or in the world, the strength of the RN ("Royal-Navy") is undoubted, and the number of battleships and battlecruisers they have is not comparable to that of Germany and France, if the Germans want to transport supplies from the sea. But ask them if they agree.

And in contrast, KM (here does not refer to the "Kriegs-Marine" Nazi German Navy. Rather, it was the "Kaiserliche-Marine" Imperial German Navy, please pay attention. It seems to be quite weak, but there is a good saying, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the huge tonnage of water ships owned by the British is not something that Germany can catch up with overnight, then. At this time, a smart man came up with an excellent solution -- submarine forces.

Compared to large surface ships, submarines are easier to build and more resource-efficient. The main thing is that no matter how powerful the firepower of a battleship or a battlecruiser, it cannot withstand a torpedo attack from a submarine. Although the hit rate of torpedoes is not high, it can take off a surface ship of tens of thousands of tons as long as it hits a few shots, which is much more efficient than traditional surface artillery warfare. In this way, the power of the RN is also counterbalanced, and the KM can be described as quite successful, even now, in the Gulf of Sirte in Libya, it is not known how many KM submarines there are.

Of course, submarines have such powerful advantages, and naturally they will also have their fatal shortcomings. Trying to cover convoys with submarines is a fool's dream, and they are only good at attacking lone convoys, and there is nothing they can do about RN's large fleet. This made the British think of a "good idea", that is, to use many, many fleets to escort the convoy, but it did not take long for the British to find that this was not only inefficient but also expensive, and finally the operation had to be abandoned, and neither side mentioned the matter of sea transportation again.

Since there is no such way, the two sides are completely dependent on rail transportation, in this regard, the British as the original landlord, but they really have an advantage, the northeast of the African continent does not know that the railway network is dozens of times denser than the northwest corner (although Egypt does not have many railways, but in comparison, Algeria's railways are almost in its infancy, and Tunisia, which has just been occupied by the Germans, still has a lot of railways. With this advantage, Britain can be said to have used it quite thoroughly, and it was precisely with this that it barely slowed down the advance of German tanks.

After returning from Trode's return to the outside battlefield, he began to spend his days doing nothing, except for some basic training, and they didn't even have to touch their chariots. The 47 Panzer Division has all withdrawn from the state of front-line fighting, and has begun to replenish and recuperate. However, Trode also knew that there would not be much time before they could go to the front, and now they could rest mainly because their front had not yet been launched, and once Gairyan's troops were in hand, they would have to go up to fill their positions, and when the time came, Tripoli, which was attacked on both sides and faced the sea on the other, would be difficult to hold, and retreating from the east was their only way out.

But the imagination is always plump, while the reality is skinny. Junior officers like Trode don't know when Gairyan will be taken, and judging from this replacement, at least not in the near future, do they still have to rest here?

Thinking of this, Trode shook his head helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, laughed self-deprecatingly, and walked towards the cafeteria, still saying in his mouth: "If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to think?" (To be continued......)
