In July 1940, the British North African Army Group (4 divisions and 2 brigades) switched to a counteroffensive, routed the Italian army, and advanced more than 800 kilometers in more than a month. By July 16, the British army had reached the front line east of Argeyla and Malada and moved to the defense. So that the victory did not develop. The British government decided to wait for supplies and American troops to arrive, and then wipe out the more than 200,000 beleaguered Italian troops in Tunisia in one fell swoop.

If the British army could launch a fierce attack on Italy from the 16th, Li Mo's reinforcements would rush to Africa, board the ship from the 19th and sail thousands of kilometers, it would take three days, and it would take one day to land, and these frightened Italian troops would not be able to block the 8-day onslaught of more than 100,000 British troops, even if Li Mo rushed to North Africa, there would be no place to stand, but unfortunately the British themselves gave up the victory in hand, giving Li Mo a chance to become famous all over the world.

When the opportunity comes, everyone will make mistakes in the war, Hitler will make mistakes, and the British commander Montgomery will make mistakes, depending on whether your opponent can seize the opportunity of your mistakes, the great retreat of Dunkirk in history is that Britain and France seized Hitler's mistakes and successfully retreated 330,000 troops, and now Li Mo has also seized this golden opportunity.

On July 22, 1940, Li Mo arrived at the port of Tunisia and began to land, at this time, the British troops on the outskirts of Tunisia also found reinforcements of German troops.

Montgomery, the commander-in-chief of the British army, realized his mistake and hurriedly ordered his more than 100,000 British troops to launch a fierce attack on Tunisia, which was defended by Italy, when German reinforcements arrived. More than 200,000 Italian troops actually more than 130,000 people inexplicably surrendered to the British ** team, and it was not until the evening of the 22nd that Li Mo basically transported all his troops to Tunisian land, at this time, the British ** team actually attacked less than eight kilometers away from the Tunisian port, and even artillery shells landed in the port from time to time.

As soon as Li Mo landed, he left one infantry division to defend the port of Tunisia, and the other two armored divisions immediately launched a pincer offensive, and Li Mo's choice of offensive direction was against the Egyptian defense line, as long as Li Mo ate the British troops on this front, all the British troops attacking Tunisia would be surrounded around Tunisia. It was impossible for them to break through the defenses of Limer's armored division. Of course, Li Mo's war of annihilation could not escape.

As soon as the attack began, Limer called German planes on the island of Malta to support the Panzer Division, while British planes were far away in El Alamein, more than 800 kilometers from Tunisia. It is basically impossible to enter the war in a short time. The airport in Tunis had already been destroyed by the British. Italy's air force is also not going to help.

Vincent's Italian Panzer Division attacked along the coastline, as Tank IV was slightly lighter, while the other Panzer Division attacked in the direction of Egypt.

Both armored divisions were battle-hardened veterans. The combat quality is extremely superb, and at the same time, Li Mo also gave them two artifacts, the first is the FA223 helicopter regiment, a total of 164 FA223 helicopters, and there are two brigades of helicopters above each armor to help these armored divisions break through, FA223 carries German-made six-barreled rocket launchers, the firepower is very fierce, and the British army is crushed under the three-dimensional fire of the German army.

Just now, Italy was defeated, and in an instant, it changed its role, becoming a British wolf chaser, can people escape from helicopters or tanks? Impossible, even the British tanks suffered heavy losses under the full fire coverage of the FA223, and the British "Firefly" medium tank, or the American "Sherman medium tank", under the dense and covered bombardment of one hundred and fifty mm rocket artillery, how many are left, even if they are not blown up, the tank crew will be shocked to death, not to mention the German Leopard and No. 4 tanks below.

Li Mo gave the German army a more kind of artifact is the improved version of the Iron Fist rocket, although this thing is not as terrifying as the armor-piercing of later generations, but it also has a vertical penetration depth of 150 millimeters, which is the same as the penetration depth, and it is also a complete explosion of all British and American tanks.

Montgomery is the commander-in-chief of the British army, and this person's tactical cultivation is still very high, but Montgomery saw that Li Mo's armored division was rushing towards his own defense line, Montgomery's supplies and ammunition at this time had been almost exhausted, and there was indeed no way to block Li Mo's fierce pincer attack, but Montgomery also relied on, that is, the successor British army reinforcements of more than 200,000 people, just more than a hundred kilometers behind him, they came to reinforce Montgomery on the one hand, and sent supplies to Montgomery on the other.

Montgomery deserved to be an excellent commander, and hurriedly ordered his two infantry divisions, carrying all kinds of anti-tank weapons, to delay the German attack as much as possible, Montgomery gave the two British infantry divisions the task of dragging the German armored forces for three hours, and Montgomery could use these three hours to withdraw a large number of soldiers from other units, as for the artillery that could not be carried away, all the bombardments were blown up.

Montgomery is using the trick of surviving with a broken arm, these British troops commanded by Montgomery have been stationed in the desert, fighting in the desert, and are very familiar with the desert environment, and although Li Mo's soldiers are sharp, they are very unfamiliar with desert operations, and the tank is in constant condition in such a harsh environment as the desert, in this case, Montgomery's two infantry divisions also dragged Li Mo's two armored divisions for four hours, and after Li Mo surrounded more than 40,000 British troops, The Montgomerie boy had already fled away with the rest of the troops, and all the heavy weapons that could not be taken away were blown up by the British army.

Although Li Mo was angry about not being able to annihilate the British commander Montgomery, Li Mo had another surprise, that is, the more than 200,000 Italian prisoners were rescued by the German army, and Montgomery could not escape with the prisoners, so he could only be placed in a temporary circle, no wall, no sentinel "prisoner of war camp", this prisoner of war camp was built by the Italian prisoners of war themselves, when Germany went to the Italian prisoner of war camp, let these Italians go back to find their own troops, but to the surprise of the German army, The Italian prisoners of war actually refused the demands of the Germans, and the Italian prisoners of war said:

"They are prisoners of war by the British army, and the British army needs to come and release them, otherwise they are violating the prisoner of war regulations."

The Germans, who had no choice, only had to find Vincent in Italy to get these funny Italian prisoners of war away and let them return to the team.

Although Li Mo won the battle, Li Mo was definitely not an arrogant person, and still sent a large number of reconnaissance planes to take pictures along the way to reconnoiter the situation, and soon the information was sent, more than 100 miles away from the Tunis Pass, there were a large number of British coalition troops, with 300,000 subordinates, and Li Mo only had a large number of people, more than 50,000 people, including two armored divisions and one infantry division.
