Chapter 338: Soldiers Approaching El Alamein
However, the German "BF109" is more advanced than the British Spitfire, so the ratio of aircraft losses to each other 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 transport, and on the 20th, the British coalition 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 coalition army had begun to retreat quickly.
Although Li Mo sent a pursuit force, he also meant to chase and annihilate some 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 not pursue it, Li Mo would definitely not be so stupid, in the case of no logistics support at all, he could not pursue a mechanized force like the British army.
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 Li Mo's heart disease, because since the beginning of the North African campaign, Li Mo's aircraft losses have reached more than 300 aircraft, and he still has more than 1,200 planes in his hands, but fortunately, Li Mo, the heir of the Krupp family, because of the use of weapons integration plan. Let Germany double the production of weapons, and now the production of aircraft has reached more than 20,000 units, the German national reserve. And this month's production allowed Limer's aircraft to slightly exceed the losses. If the North African battlefield is endlessly attritional. Li Mo didn't want to fight with the British coalition army, so Li Mo could only send it to the ground war and 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, wrong, Germany absolutely does not have the strength to occupy the whole world, God wants it to perish. It had to be made mad, and Limer, of course, knew what strength Germany possessed, and was afraid that Hitler would be arrogant to the point of ignorance.
Germany definitely does not have the naval strength to attack the British mainland, in this case, after Li Mo defeated the British coalition army, he forced the coalition army, so he directly sent troops to the Middle East, and robbed all the British colonies and oil fields in the Middle East.
……
Actually, Britain is like a bitch." I want to be a bitch again, and I want to set up an archway, "The best way is to let this bitch in England kneel under her crotch and sing conquest. This is the most correct way to deal with "sluts", does Li Mo have this strength? There are also no, the decisive battle in North Africa is an opportunity, and the loser is the one who kneels down and sings about conquest.
In order not to let the battle drag on for too long and the battle line was too long, Li Mo decided to wait for the British and American troops to basically mobilize their heavy troops to El Alamein, and then start a decisive battle, and the battle was decided. If the Anglo-American armies were dispersed, Germany would have to hunt down the Anglo-American armies throughout Africa.
Scattered Anglo-American armies were easy to defeat. Germany was also successful tactically, but strategically! It was impossible for Germany to annihilate the Anglo-American armies of the whole of Africa in a short period of time. The entire African war could be fought for several years, and Li Mo couldn't afford to drag it out. Germany can't afford to drag it out, and after a few years, the military strength of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union will definitely be much faster than Germany's, that is, Germany will not have any weapons and equipment superiority, and in the end it can only turn the African war into a never-ending war of attrition, if that happens, Germany's early tactical victory will have no meaning.
On the contrary, it will plunge Germany into the "quagmire" of war, and finally drag Germany to death, and Limer 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 coalition 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 resolved 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 in a Tunisian port, and transporting them to the front line by car, which is more than a thousand kilometers of desert transportation, and Li Mo in history failed in North Africa because of the logistics that could not keep up.
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. Lemmer led his North African legions to press on, while the British were 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 battle line all the way to the El Alamein area, which was just over 150 kilometers from Alexandria, 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 away from Alexander!. [,! The day was January 10, 1941. In the evening when Li Mo's letter was sent, his regiment advanced more than 60 kilometers.
Now, as long as his armored forces advance a little further and occupy Alexandria, he can get the last "key" to Egypt.
It can be said that as long as the armored tracks of Limerlonlong go one further step to the east, Alexandria, Cairo will be within reach. Once Hitler occupies the Middle East, it will have a serious impact on the entire world war situation, and Germany's tentacles will reach 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.
