Chapter 338: Soldiers Approaching El Alamein
However, the German "BF109" is more advanced than the British Spitfire, so the ratio of each other's aircraft losses is 2:1, and the German aircraft losses are much less, but the aircraft productivity of the British and Allied forces is five times that of Germany.
On the same day, the German army took advantage of the armor advantage to expand the encirclement of Tunisia to about 30 kilometers, and the Tunisian port was basically safe, and on the evening of the 18th, it was an all-night transportation, and on the 20th, the British army began to organize a retreat, because the number of German troops landing at this time had reached 300,000, and Li Mo had decided to launch a comprehensive counterattack the next day, but the British army had begun to retreat rapidly.
Although Li Mo sent a pursuit force, he also meant to chase and destroy some of the British troops behind him, and the main force of the British army all retreated towards Mandela, and the main force of the British army retreated towards Mandela, and the main force was 500 kilometers away from Mandela, because when the German army landed, it mainly transported tanks and personnel, and the cars basically did not land, how dare he not pursue it, Li Mo would never be so stupid, and he could not pursue a mechanized force like the British army when there was no logistics support at all.
Of course, bombing was also necessary, and of course the British planes would also come to escort them, and the air forces of the two sides launched a fierce air battle on the way of the retreat of the British forces, and the losses of the British forces in the retreat were also quite a lot, tens of thousands of people, and the air forces of both sides were still the same2; 1 loss rate.
The loss of the air force has indeed become a heart disease for Li Mo, because since the beginning of the North African campaign, Li Mo's aircraft losses have reached more than 300 planes. And he still has more than 1,200 in his hands, but fortunately, Li Mo, the heir of the Krupp family. Because of the use of weapons integration programs, Germany doubled its weapons production. Now the production of aircraft has reached more than 20,000 aircraft, and the German national reserves, and this month's production, so that Li Mo's aircraft slightly exceeded the loss. If the North African battlefield continues to be consumed endlessly, Li Mo does not want to fight with the British coalition army, so Li Mo can only send it to the ground war to completely defeat the British coalition army.
What will Li Mo do after completely defeating the British coalition army, will he attack the British coalition army itself, and then occupy the LinkedIn coalition army? Wrong. The mistake is outrageous, Germany absolutely does not have the strength to occupy the whole world, God wants it to perish, it must be made crazy, of course Limer can know the strength that Germany has, but he is afraid that Hitler will be arrogant to the point of ignorance.
Germany definitely did not have the naval strength to attack the British mainland, and in this case, after Li Mo defeated the British coalition army, he forced the coalition army. If we directly send troops to the Middle East and rob all the British colonies and oil fields in the Middle East, and then Germany, which has sufficient resources and oil, will not be afraid.
……
Actually, Britain is like a*. "I want to be a bitch again, and I want to set up an archway," the best way is to let the British bitch kneel under his crotch and sing conquest. This is the most correct way to deal with "sluts", does Li Mo have this strength? There are also and there are none. The decisive battle in North Africa is an opportunity, and the loser is the one who kneels down and sings about conquest.
Li Mo wanted not to let the battle drag on for too long. The battle line was stretched too long, and it was decided to wait for the British and American troops to basically mobilize their heavy forces to El Alamein, and then start a decisive battle, and the battle was decided. If the Anglo-American forces were dispersed, Germany would have to hunt down the Anglo-American armies throughout Africa.
The scattered Anglo-American armies were easy to defeat, and Germany was tactically successful, but strategically! It is impossible for Germany to annihilate the British and American armies in the whole of Africa in a short period of time, and the entire African war may be fought for several years, and Li Mo cannot afford to delay, and Germany cannot afford to drag it out, and after a few years, the improvement of the military strength of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union will definitely be much faster than that of Germany, that is, Germany will not have any superiority in weapons and equipment, and in the end it can only turn the African war into a never-ending war of attrition, and if that situation occurs, Germany's tactical victory in the early stage will have no meaning.
On the contrary, Germany will be plunged into the "quagmire" of war, and finally drag Germany to death, and Li Mo wants Britain and the United States to gather all the forces in Africa, so that they can use El Alamein, a self-righteous fortress, to have a strategic life-and-death decisive battle.
The British Allied forces assembled together are not easy to fight, and it is an offensive war, and even the German army may be defeated, but Li Mo has no choice, although Germany does not have the strength to fight on two fronts, but it must not fight a protracted war, and it must be fought quickly, which is why Li Mo chose to attack, waiting for the British and American troops to assemble.
Of course, the British and American troops were massing on a large scale, and Li Mo did not let himself take a vacation, but quickly transported all kinds of materials, and at the same time let his army move to a hundred kilometers before El Alamein, and built a large wharf by the sea, so that he could transport his troops directly by sea, without landing at the Tunisian port, and transporting them to the front line by car, which was more than 1,000 kilometers of desert transportation.
Of course, Li Mo will learn the lessons of Rommel's failure, and attaches great importance to his logistics and transportation capabilities, all EU countries have been dispatched to support Germany's North African battlefield, no matter how big or small, it can be opened, Li Mo is not picky, both sides are actively transporting, Germany's transportation distance is close, but the transportation capacity is not as strong as Britain, so the pre-war preparations of both sides are basically the same.
In January 1941, the situation was getting worse for the British. Li Mo led his North African army to press forward, while the British army was powerless. The German armoured forces advanced at such a rapid pace that the British could not put up the slightest resistance, and the Germans advanced the front all the way to the El Alamein area, which was just over 150 kilometers from Alexandria in Egypt.
It is less than 100 kilometers from the Nile Delta. At this time, the ancient pyramids were already far away. General Limer excitedly wrote to his wife, Selena, and said: "It's only more than 100 miles from Alexandria!" The day was January 10, 1941. In the evening when Li Mo's letter was sent, his corps advanced more than 60 kilometers.
Now as long as his armored forces advance a little further and capture Alexandria, he will be able to get the last "key" to Egypt. As if God intended to fulfill Li Mo's fame, Auchinleck, the commander of the 8th Army of the British Coalition Army at this time, was preparing to withdraw from Egypt in order to preserve his strength.
It can be said that as long as Li Meerlong's armored tracks go one step further east, Alexandria and Cairo will be within reach. Once Hitler occupies the Middle East, it will certainly have a serious impact on the entire world war situation, and Germany's tentacles will extend into the Indian Ocean, thus dividing half of the world into Germany's territory. Limer's great victory not only won him great honor, but also made the whole of Germany indulge in the victory from North Africa.
