Yesterday, the British army encountered numerous sneak attacks by the Libyans in the city of Tobruk, and the elusive tactics of these Libyan militias caused heavy casualties to the British army.

Now the British army was furious, and they vowed to annihilate all those Libyan "rats".

Early the next morning, tens of thousands of British troops were looking for an entrance to the sewers in Tobruk.

Wavell could not attack the fortress of Tobruk at this time, so he could only put tens of thousands of British troops in the city of Tobruk, and then began to carpet search the entrance to the sewers.

This search startled Wavell, and tens of thousands of British troops found more than a thousand sewer entrances in Tobruk, which were of various sizes and hidden places.

How to deal with the Libyans in the sewers, the British army began to try various methods, first put explosives in to blow up, as if it was just to smash the hole, those Libyan rats were not blown out at all, it seems that putting explosives into it has no effect.

Wavell thought of the example of Rommel going to the fortress of Gibraltar to get gasoline, and the British army had oil fields in Egypt, so Wavell had no shortage of gasoline in his hands at all.

The British army is not stupid, after they have suffered a big loss, they will also find a way to deal with the Libyans' tunnel warfare, and it is still unknown whether Wavell's arson plan can burn the Libyans out.

……

Rommel was inside the fortress in Tobruk and had been observing the situation in the city with the "Eye of God", and Rommel had been carefully observing the battle of last night for two hours.

The Libyan militias seemed to be born guerrilla fighters, and they came out of all kinds of holes to attack the British, who were passive and beaten everywhere in the strange environment of Tobruk.

In the second half of the night's attack, Rommel did not continue to observe, tonight's sneak attack will definitely cause heavy casualties to the British army, this is no longer suspense, Rommel must save his energy to deal with the situation the next day.

The next morning, Rommel woke up early, and while eating breakfast, he used his "Eye of God" to observe the movements of the British army.

Three British divisions had marched from the road near Tobruk in the direction of Merkili, who had now gathered more than 30,000 British troops, and with the addition of these three British divisions, their strength would be 70,000 or 80,000.

Bismarck only had one German armored division and one German infantry division, with a total strength of just over 30,000 people, and it was unrealistic for this force to break through Merkili.

Tobruk has really become a dangerous city behind the enemy, the German army can no longer reach Tobruk in a short time, but the British army can use the superior forces to block the German reinforcements and besiege Tobruk at the same time.

The strategic situation between the German and British forces was thus completely reversed, and the British army had all the strategic advantages.

How to deal with the current strategic crisis, Rommel fell into deep contemplation, how to break the situation, and once again reverse the strategic disadvantage.

Rommel's German Afrika Korps did not have any major losses now, and the 130,000-strong army was still intact in Rommel's hands, and although the British army had this strategic advantage, his living forces had been wiped out a lot.

Rommel's strategic disadvantage in North Africa at this time was entirely caused by the fact that his forces were not all in place, and to break through this crisis, it was necessary to wait until most of Rommel's troops were in place, and then have a decisive battle with the British army in Merkili.

After nine days of transport, only half of the men and weapons were delivered to the southern regions of Italy.

If all the German Afrika Korps and weapons and equipment were to be delivered to the southern regions of Italy, it would take at least a month.

Then it will take another half a month to transport the German Afrika Korps from southern Italy to Africa by ship, and it will take another half a month to reach the Merkili front.

How long it will take for the German Afrika Korps to completely defeat the tens of thousands of British troops there after the Merkili front is unknown, maybe a few days, maybe a few months.

The question is whether Tobruk can hold out until a few months later, Rommel is facing a siege of tens of thousands of British troops in Tobruk, and of course Tobruk has correspondingly pinned down tens of thousands of British troops, which undoubtedly reduces the huge offensive pressure on the German army on the Merkili front.

Rommel, after careful consideration, immediately took Harold to his office, and he gave an order:

"Immediately start renovating the fortress guns on the top of the Tobruk Fortress, and make sure that the fortress guns can attack the city of Tobruk and its roads within two days."

Twelve 280 mm fortified guns were mounted on top of the Tobruk fortress, mounted in a cylindrical protective shed, with a firing range of about 120 degrees facing the sea and harbor of Tobruk.

The top of these fortress gun shelters is made of reinforced concrete up to five meters thick, and the reinforced concrete on the sides is also up to two meters thick, and it is not a simple project to change the direction of the firing boundary of these protective shelters.

In peacetime, this project is not difficult, but it is wartime, and Rommel is asking for so much time.

The current strategic crisis Harold was not unaware that Rommel could not disobey his orders:

"To ensure the completion of the task, if there are conditions, we must go up, and if there are no conditions, we must also go to the conditions."

Changing the direction of the firing boundary of the fortress cannon protection shed, this project is not complicated, first seal the original firing boundary with reinforced concrete, and make this wall a pillar wall, and then remove the original wall that needs to be transformed.

The most difficult part of the project was to remove the two-metre-thick reinforced concrete wall, and the only way to do that was to shoot the blast holes and blast them with explosives.

In this way, the speed of removal will be very fast, but the removal of artillery will cause some damage to the solidity of the entire protective shed, and the entire protective shed may not be able to withstand the bombardment of a thousand kilograms of aerial bombs.

Rommel now needed to block the road outside Tobruk with heavy fortified artillery, and he wanted to make it impossible for the British to easily transport weapons, ammunition and supplies to the Merkili front.

The British troops who were arrogant in the city of Tobruk were also the objects of repair of the fortress guns, and the British tanks were like pieces of paper in front of the fortress guns.

Don't underestimate the role of these twelve fortresses, if used well, the British army can be frightened, and destroy the tactical arrangement of the British army, so that the British army can not attack the fortress of Tobruk City without scruples.

Harold was ordered to rebuild the fortress cannons, and Rommel himself wrote a telegram addressed to the French viceroy Speer.

In his telegram, Rommel demanded that Speer use the container transport law to do everything possible to transport all the personnel, weapons and ammunition of the German Afrika Korps to southern Italy as soon as possible.

Speer has an amazing talent for organising transport, and historically, when he was the director of transport on the Eastern Front, he made transport in Germany 100 per cent better than before.

Speer's appointment as French governor was entirely facilitated by Rommel, and he and Rommel got along very well, and the two are now allies and brothers who are both prosperous and disadvantaged.

After Rommel went to Africa, he had already handed over the affairs of France to him, which was the selfless trust between brothers, so Speer had great respect and respect for Rommel.

Speer will never slack off on the orders that Rommel gave him, and immediately after receiving Rommel's telegram, she sent Rommel a telegram promising to complete the task.
