Chapter 213: Boosting Morale

Rafi had his troops hide under the sand during the day, then came out at night to retreat, and laid various mines as he retreated.

Rafael's tactics worked, and Bismarck lost seven or eight No. 4 tanks and a dozen Soma 35 tanks in the next day's pursuit, all of which were blown up by anti-tank mines.

The German infantry who were killed and wounded by the explosion was even more than seven or eight hundred, Rafael was really hateful, he not only let his soldiers plant all kinds of mixed mines everywhere, but also poisoned the wells and springs along the way, and the German tanks and infantry were "won" if they didn't pay attention

The harsh heat of North Africa, which can dry eggs, the huge casualties at this time, the dust that covers the sky, and the extremely harsh desert environment, make the German pursuit of the 7th Panzer Division on the front line become a little decadent.

"There will be no weak in our valiant, honored, fearless 7th Light Panzer Division.

Maybe today you feel a little fear of the enemy's intrigues, but don't be afraid, because there are comrades who stand on the same front as you by your side.

They will use their weapons to keep you safe, and if you are a man of backbone, you should let fear turn into strength and let the cry of victory resound in the sky!!

Today we are not fighting alone, we have air support, very strong air support, they will blow those British troops like rats, we just have to attack without hesitation.

We are not fighting alone, the great General Rommel is waiting for the news of our victory, we are not fighting alone, our relatives are waiting for our triumphant figure.

All for Germany, my brothers, hold on to the steel guns in your hands, let us bravely face the stormy battle, and sing our oath aloud together, attack! Offensive!! Attack again!! ”

Bismarck's voice was heard by radio in every German vehicle, and all soldiers of the 7th Light Panzer Division could clearly hear Bismarck's passionate speech.

Bismarck was most influenced by Rommel, and his words made every 7th Light Panzer Division rekindle their desire to fight, and the soldiers shouted the oath of the 7th Light Panzer Division in their respective vehicles:

"The 7th Panzer Division, whether our officers or soldiers, whether they are in the cold trenches, or in the midst of a scorching barrage . We will never feel alone and helpless.

Even if one day we can no longer hold up the banner that embodies all the glory of the 7th Panzer Division, the younger generation will be full of longing for today.

I have the honor of being a brave and loyal soldier of the 7th Light Armored Division.

Each comrade-in-arms is my sibling, and regardless of origin or status, I will show the firmness and unity of the family to be together forever.

Respect for the troops, respect for my superiors, discipline and friendship are strength, courage and loyalty are virtues.

I am honored to be able to fight with the great General Rommel, and the task he has given me is like a death order, and I must do whatever it takes.

In battle, we will respect the defeated enemy, never give up regardless of whether we are wounded or killed, and never surrender under any circumstances.

Rommel's commands are above all else, above all truth and law, and must be obeyed unconditionally.

We would rather be reduced to a pile of skeletons than fight to the end!?This is our immortal spirit!?enough to make the enemy kneel at our feet and cry.

We have no way back? Only offense! Offensive! On the offensive! …… Rommel's spirit has always encouraged us.

The fighting spirit never dies? This immortal belief sustains the blood of the empire? Supporting the strong combat effectiveness of the Imperial Legion.

The road ahead is still difficult? Warriors don't retreat? Are the people of the Motherland watching us? The great General Rommel is praying for us?

Forward!?Forward!?

Bayonets tear through this ugly world!?

The day the storm stopped? That's when we win!??

The air is filled with tension,

The big war is coming, tears are running across the mother's face, and the motherland is behind her.? The footsteps of the enemy could be heard in the distance, and the earth was trembling.

It's time to defend justice, and the blood is already surging.?

The last leaf on the dry branch was knocked off by the cold wind,?

Lightning tore through the heavy black curtain in the distance,

Look--it's the 1st Panzer Corps of the 7th Light Panzer Division advancing. ”

……

In fact, Bismarck is also anxious! Now the British army does not fight him at all in Libya, and the British army not only lays all kinds of mines everywhere, but also poisons the crystals along the way.

Libya did not have any surface rivers, and his fresh water depended entirely on wells, which the British had poisoned, but which caused great trouble for Bismarck.

The amount of fresh water consumed in the desert is quite large, and all of this fresh water is transported from the Agai region.

Bismarck now commanded two German divisions and five Italian divisions, which numbered almost 100,000 men, and the amount of fresh water consumed by such a large number of people was enormous, as well as the transportation of weapons, ammunition and other supplies.

There are more than 1,500 trucks that can be drawn out of BCSM, and more than 1,500 trucks of 100,000 troops can transport all kinds of provisions, which is obviously not enough.

Bismarck could not take out the trucks in which his soldiers were travelling to deliver supplies, because the great General Rommel was in the city of Tobruk, which was besieged by the British, and Bismarck dared to delay time.

Bismarck, who had no choice, could only reduce the amount of ammunition he carried, and Rommel's troops were supposed to carry at least ten base ammunition when they set out to fight.

Bismarck, who did not do so, had to order the excess ammunition to be buried on the spot, carrying only three bases of ammunition.

The spare cars immediately helped to transport supplies, which barely ensured the supply and fresh water problems of the 100,000 people, and the twenty-three plus helicopters have now become freshwater transport planes.

On the third day of Bismarck's pursuit, they arrived at the city of Antrat, where the British army had already run away with Raphael, leaving only an empty city with nothing, and even the Libyans were driven away by the British army.

Rafael just didn't want the Germans to get any Libyanian support, there was not a single grain of grain in the city of Antrat, and all the wells were either filled in or poisoned.

In three days, Bismarck had pursued and advanced two hundred kilometers, and there were still three hundred kilometers to Tobruk, if only Antrat had an airfield.

Bismarck could have asked Rommel to deploy a large number of planes to Antrait, and then engage in a full-scale air battle with the British Air Force in North Africa, which was no match for the Tenth Air Force at this time.

Unfortunately, there is no airport in Antrat, the city is in an oasis in the desert, and the yellow sand outside the city is slow, and it is impossible to build an airport.

What is the purpose of the British army fleeing without a fight, is there any conspiracy, and Bismarck really doesn't know what the British army is doing?
