Chapter 158, pie from the sky
On the Allied side, the German-Italian forces had fought extremely badly, and they were almost driven away, and the sudden retreat of the German troops instantly made these Allied forces lose all the pressure. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Montgomery felt that this was very unrealistic, one moment, the Germans beat them to death, and the next moment the Germans suddenly withdrew, leaving these Italian troops, and then these Italian soldiers surrendered to them without firing a single shot.
"Am I dreaming?" Montgomery muttered.
"General, you are not dreaming, this is all true, they really withdrew their troops." An allied commander next to Montgomery said excitedly.
"Good!" Although he didn't know what was going on on the German-Italian side, he was sure that it would not be a conspiracy. If this is a conspiracy, then the stroke is too big, tens of thousands of Italian prisoners, who can bear such a big loss.
"Send people to reconnoiter the movements of the German army, and also, there must be a reason for the sudden withdrawal of the German army, check it well, by the way, what are those yellow-skinned monkey troops in the south doing now?" The sudden victory made Montgomery a little dazed, but he quickly calmed down and made arrangements.
"The army on the southern front can't be contacted, there doesn't seem to be anyone there, and no gunfire has been heard from that side since the morning!." A British soldier replied, with the rank still wearing the captain's insignia.
"What?" Montgomery was startled again, or rather, angry, frightened, and slapped the table and yelled at the captain, "Why is it that such an important matter has not been reported until now?" ”
The captain who was yelled at wanted to say that you said that you didn't want to report to you about them, but unfortunately he didn't dare to say it, and if he really said it, then he would be stupid.
Montgomery was so angry, if he had been before, he wouldn't have been so angry, at most, he despised those yellow-skinned monkeys and ran so fast, but now, the sudden withdrawal of the German army, the inexplicable victory, made him even suspect that this was a German conspiracy, and the German army might have broken through from there and entered the rear.
As soon as he thought of this, Montgomery couldn't sit still, and immediately asked people to contact the rear to ask about the situation in the back, but the response he got was that the back was really good, and there were no problems.
This made Montgomery even more confused, confused.
"General, in fact, we can ask the prisoners of the Italian army, maybe they know what is going on."
A word woke up the dreamer, and the words of his subordinates made Montgomery wake up all of a sudden, he had fallen into a magic barrier before, and he didn't expect such a simple thing. "Guard, go, find an Italian officer, the tallest of them, and bring him here."
"Yes!" The two guards at the door of the tent answered the call.
Soon after, the two returned, bringing back a man in the uniform of the Italian army, albeit in a private uniform.
"Report to the general, the man brought, it's a major, the highest rank found so far." The guards report to Montgomery.
Montgomery, who looked down at the map, heard this, looked up, and saw this major dressed as a private, needless to say that he also knew, was just an officer who wanted to escape from the chaos among ordinary soldiers, and he could see at a glance that he was still wearing a high-end watch on his left hand, and the underwear exposed during the pulling did not look ordinary.
Ledesma, as a colonel of the Italian Legion, only holds the position of regiment commander, and everyone else is at least the position of brigade commander, which makes him very unhappy, but who let him sin the division commander, it is nothing more than a woman's matter, and the division commander robbed a woman, not a death, and robbed a female branch girl, it is really not worth it, and now it is already thankful to be a regiment commander.
He entered North Africa in 1941 and participated in the first campaign, and his qualifications are considered old, and his luck has always been good, and he has repeatedly escaped some dangers, such as the bombing of Allied planes, and his comrades were killed, but he was only grazed by shrapnel, and this is just one example, and there are many others.
Until the battle of Sorum, the battle was fought well and was about to be won, but a telegram came from the rear that Tubrug was lost, which was like a bolt from the blue for them.
Tubrug is an important city for them to connect the rear, the logistics are all transported from Tubrug, the others are deserts, there are no roads to speak of, once Tubrug is lost, it means that their logistics will be cut off.
Although Solum is close to the sea and can go to sea, there are not only Axis ships in the sea, but also Allied ships, although the mouth of the inland sea is blocked, but the British also have a Suez Canal on the Egyptian side, so that the Allied fleet can enter the inland sea.
After the Germans got the news, they immediately withdrew their troops without saying a word, and when they left, they also robbed their vehicles, and let them block the Allies to cover their German retreat.
Isn't this a pit man, is there such a pit for teammates? But there is no way, they still have to rely on the German army to fight Africa, and this time the problem is also on them, the defenders of Tubrug actually ran away without firing a shot, and lost Tubrug in vain, which is really a shame for their Italian army.
He killed the team on the front line, and the troops behind him didn't make any efforts, even if they didn't help, they actually cheated them.
For this matter, he is not very strange for the army, he can only say that the second-line troops in the rear are not strong, and they pit their teammates.
Another point is more critical, these second-line troops have always been more anti-Melsoni, because they inherited the decay of Rome, had little combat effectiveness, and were unwilling to go to the battlefield, and were more resistant to Mosonieri's insistence, so when they were fighting, they were soft, and the enemy either surrendered or fled.
Ledesma, on the other hand, is quite Moxi, and the more heroic armies like these are all Mossoneri's armies, but these armies are exhausted, and the rest of the pasta is forgotten.
As Tingmo, he naturally has a good impression of those who are anti-Mo, and now they have pitted tens of thousands of troops on the front line without firing a shot, which makes him hate these people even more.
As soon as the Germans left, they couldn't stop the Allies at all, so the rest of the people discussed the issue of surrender, and the vast majority of them agreed, and he couldn't change anything alone, so he found a piece of inferior clothes to change into, and prepared to flee in chaos.
I don't know if his good luck ended here, but before he could go far, he was caught by the Allied forces who were catching up, and he had to raise his hand and surrender in the face of the muzzle of the black hole.
The allies are also goblins, looking at Ledesma's outfit, although it is an inferior uniform, but it is thin and tender, he still has a watch in his hand, a Glock pistol, his underwear is not like ordinary material, and there is actually a gold bar in his pocket, which confirms that he is a big fish.
Since they were all recognized, Ledesma had no choice but to admit it, but kept an eye on it, saying that he was a major and was afraid that he would be targeted if he reported that he was a colonel. (To be continued.) )
