Chapter 304: Anti-Encirclement (I)

Beatrich was followed by more than 100 tanks and two infantry regiments, with a total strength of about 5,000, while Bitrich had only more than 100 armored vehicles, which could only carry 1,200 soldiers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, it is easy to solve this problem, isn't there a lot of empty cars in the Afrika Korps now? Bitrich had already used his imagination to put sandbags in the compartments of those empty trucks, and then tied sandbags to key places such as the water tank in front of the trucks, and a (sandbag) armored truck came out.

Finally, put a squad on top of the truck, an MG42 or Maxim machine gun, so that ten P40 submachine guns, a fifty-mm mortar, a few boxes of "Iron Fist", this armored truck is a mobile fire fortress, a nightmare for the infantry.

Of course, this kind of mobile firepower "fortress" - "sandbag truck" will definitely be the target of priority strikes by the enemy's various heavy weapons, and of course Bitrich will not let them rush to the front line?

"Blitzkrieg" always comes first with tanks, and other arms are all equipped for tanks to fight better, and tanks are the soul.

After Beatrich knocked out the enemy's artillery and tanks, the "sandbag trucks" came into play, and the British troops with only small arms were not lambs to the slaughter in front of the "sandbag trucks".

Field Marshal Rommel divided the other fifty-two tanks into two groups and placed them on the southeast side of the circular position, along with two regiments of infantry from the "Fifth Panzer Division", whose task was to stop the British troops who had broken through the German bombardment.

As soon as Rommel sent these troops away, he had only improvised logistics troops in his hands, and all the logistics personnel of the former enemy's command post had been allotted weapons and equipment, and these logistics units numbered more than 2,000 people, with more than 10 tanks and more than 10 anti-tank vehicles.

The support of the Luftwaffe arrived quickly, and the distance of 300 kilometers was only half an hour, and at such a distance, the average fighter hung two 250-kilogram bombs, and they had to be thrown away in a short time, otherwise the fuel would not be enough to return home, and the bombers could calmly drop bombs.

"Woooooooooo......oo Buzzing...... Buzz ......"

The two huge groups of planes each rushed to their own targets, the whole sky was full of black pressure, the hollow was a mixed formation, there were BF109 fighters, they did not fly high, only about 4,000 meters, and they were all hanging two black and shiny bombs under their wings without exception.

Then there are all kinds of medium bombers and dive bombers, such as DO17 and JU87, all of which fly low and slow, and they all seem to be fully loaded with various bombs. Hundreds of planes came in front of them with the overwhelming strength of Mount Tai, and the momentum was enough to make a country's soul fly.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

The grass on the ground was shaken from side to side by the shock wave in the air, and countless insects and grasshoppers scurried around in panic among the grass, trying to find a safe place for themselves.

As long as these planes don't drop bombs, they will be their peaceful homes, and as long as they drop bombs, they will not be safe to hide anywhere with their little nests.

"Report to the Commander: Bomber swarm arrives in the area of operation, requests orders."

"Order them to carry out horizontal bombardment at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, so that there is no grass left in the area where they pass."

"Yes, there is not a single grass left in the place where it passes."

Field Marshal Rommel was also ruthless, at such a critical moment of life and death, there is no mercy to speak of, every 82 horizontal bombers and more than a hundred other aircraft against the British army in one direction.

With such a huge fleet of aircraft, I dare not say that it can blow up all the British troops on the ground, at least it is certain that several divisions of British troops will be the most tenacious army after carpet bombing by hundreds of aircraft, and his will to fight will also be blown to the ground.

The German bomber group, which had been ordered, began to adjust its course and formation, and flew towards the British marching army on the ground, which was still evading the air defense, and below the bomber group, countless anti-aircraft guns were firing fiercely.

Montgomery knew that he had lost air supremacy, so he allocated all the anti-aircraft weapons that could be mobilized to the anti-encirclement forces, and countless brilliant "fireworks" exploded around the bomber group, and black fireworks bloomed in the air.

Occasionally, German planes fell in smoke, but in very small numbers, and this loss had little effect on the large German bomber fleet.

"Buzz...... Streaming down...... 簌簌......"

Every group of four horizontal bombers began to drop bombs in a neat line, and bombs poured down like hail on the ground, and people on the ground scrambled to find cover, and the originally neat marching army suddenly dispersed.

With such a large-scale bombardment, where can those panicked British troops flee in the first place, they were on the march, and the British troops did not dig any bunkers, so it can be said that these British troops have nowhere to escape, nowhere to go, nowhere to hide.

They can only pray to God not to let the bomb fall within 20 meters of themselves, because the absolute killing distance of a 10-kilogram aerial bomb is 20 meters. Twenty to 30 meters will be seriously injured, 30-50 meters will be lightly injured, and shrapnel will kill 150 meters.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Streams of black gunpowder smoke rose from the ground, some unknown things were brought into the sky by the violent explosion, and various vehicles on the ground could clearly see it being torn into pieces by the violent explosion, and the black gunpowder smoke dressed the ground like hell, and life was like a piece of paper here, and it was suddenly annihilated.

"Adjust the course, the course is five degrees to the left, okay, keep it stable like this, the bombardier aims, ready to drop the bomb ......"

The navigator calmly commanded his bomber, and the pilot did his best to maintain the route indicated by the navigator, perfect and unified, after all, everyone has been with the crew for a long time, and this difficulty is pediatric.

"Boom...... Boom...... 簌簌......"

The bombers overhead were throwing bombs endlessly, but the ground was like the torment of the abyss, and as long as the bombing continued, this torment would continue, and only God would know how many people and equipment were lucky enough to escape the bombing.

……

Ambitiously, Bitrich led his tank assault group, armored vehicle group, and the mighty "sandbag truck" fire sweep group, and rushed forward head-on against the British armored division.

The Afrika Korps are charging, the British are also charging, the Luftwaffe will soon come to support, and the British tank divisions must become entangled with the Afrika Korps as soon as possible, so the British tanks are also galloping, and they are still fast.

Because most of the British tanks are light tanks, and there are also Sherman 4 tanks purchased from the United States, the maximum caliber of the weapons on the British tanks is 50 mm 28 times the short gun, and the penetration can be 70 mm to the sky, while the dead No. 4 G tank has 80 mm of frontal armor, and the German tank is completely superior to the British tanks of all types.
