The German paratroopers who landed on the top of the Tobruk Fortress quickly slipped down from the top and launched a surprise attack on the few British troops in the fortress, once the German paratroopers rushed into the fortress and fought in a narrow space, the German P40 submachine gun was simply a weapon to harvest life.

The German paratroopers' means of attack did not stop there, grenades were the most basic, flamethrowers were offensive weapons, and the attack power of this thing in the fortress was too terrifying.

If the person who is burned by the flamethrower, the terrible screams are terrifying, and there is no other way than to give him a bullet to relieve his pain.

There was no suspense in the battle for the fortress of Tobruk, and the German paratroopers suddenly appeared over Tobruk in the sandstorm weather, and the British radar was also unable to work because of this damn sandstorm.

The British army, which was already weak in strength, was parachuted from the sky when it was caught off guard, and the outcome was self-evident.

After the German paratroopers arrived from the airborne area to the mountain pass, Boulder had to let his men raise their hands and surrender, and the first wave of German airborne troops took the British military camp and the fortress of Tobruk.

After the occupation of Tobruk, Amini hurriedly set up a radio station to contact the headquarters, but the telegraph also failed, the sandstorm was still raging, and the planes airdropped for Germany did not dare to return the same way when they returned, but chose to take a detour back from the Mediterranean.

It is not known that the sandstorm in Libya will last for several days, but it is certain that Harold will not be able to get any airborne support, and Rommel will never dare to send planes out to risk it again.

There were about 7,600 people in the airborne this time, and even if they were all lost, the impact on the Afrika Korps would not be great, and if the 10th Air Force was completely lost, there would be no need to fight this battle.

It is impossible for Rommel not to understand this truth, and it is impossible for him to ignore the entire war situation and forcibly send an airplane to carry out a second airborne landing, which is definitely an act of seeking death.

Tobruk airborne operation, because the sudden sandstorm concealed the huge German aircraft group, giving the German army an unexpected opportunity to parachute, so that the German army easily took Tobruk.

However, the German army could not carry out the second airdrop because of the sandstorm, and the German paratroopers who held out in Tobruk only had more than 7,000 people, which was only half of the established strength.

And what they have to face is at least one British infantry division, one British armored division, and four British colonial divisions, and half of the division has to withstand the attack of six divisions for half a month!

Even if Amini captured a large number of weapons, ammunition and various materials in Tobruk, he only had this amount of troops after all, that is, one less dead, and in the next half a month, it would be impossible to get reinforcements from a single soldier, and everything could only rely on these German paratroopers themselves.

Rommel closed his eyes in the command war room, and an hour passed, but Rommel did not move, and two hours, Rommel was still like that.

The hundreds of staff officers in the command room continued to be busy with their respective tasks, and the radio kept calling the airborne group, but the airborne group that could be sent out never responded.

Rommel's indifference, although it can calm the morale of the military, can wait for hundreds of planes to lose contact, and no one will be indifferent.

The chiefs of staff, Hans and Marshal Gra, were even more anxious and sweaty, fidgeting, and Rommel could not solve the problem, and of course they had no solution.

Everyone could only wait in peace, and three hours later, Rommel suddenly found a huge group of planes in the sky over the Mediterranean Sea in the "Eye of God", which frightened Rommel a lot.

His own aircraft group has been sent out, and if the enemy aircraft group attacks at this time, then Rommel's 7th Panzer Division can only be bombed.

Rommel, who had just closed his eyes and was recuperating, immediately swooped to his feet, and when he habitually went to the radio intercom in front of him, he found that he had a map in front of him, not a radio station.

Just when Rommel was about to give the order for the Seventh Panzer Division to immediately switch to in-situ air defense, he suddenly felt that the appearance of these incoming planes was a bit déjà vu.

Rommel hurriedly used the "Eye of God" to carefully inspect the huge group of planes attacking over the Mediterranean, which didn't matter, but Rommel was so surprised that he almost jumped up, and the airborne group he sent actually came back from the sky over the Mediterranean.

Rommel didn't count how many planes there were in this huge fleet, but Rommel was sure that the loss of the fleet sent out to the airborne this time was not large, God bless!

I don't know how Amini, the commander of the fleet, managed to take such a large fleet through the sandstorm and bring it back intact.

Didn't Britain send a group of planes to intercept it, Rommel was prepared to lose one or two hundred planes before the sortie, but because of this damn sandstorm, the airborne group came back intact.

There are too many factors influencing the war, and the weather is one of them, and fighting in the desert area, the weather changes volatile and unexpected, which also sounded the alarm for Rommel.

"Wald, you go and ask the 7th Panzer Division how it is now, and if the sandstorm continues to rage, you can ask for a postponement of the attack."

The airborne plane group sent out to land had returned, and Rommel certainly couldn't have said it in public, because he had no way of telling how he knew about it!

But the 7th Panzer Division, Rommel can ask with confidence and boldly, because of the impact of the sandstorm, the 7th Panzer Division has postponed the attack for three hours, if the sandstorm continues to rage, then whether it can attack today can only be decided by the commander of the first line according to the actual situation.

It is said that the 7th Panzer Division, which was outside the Mersha Pass, took advantage of the night to sneak quietly to ten kilometers in front of the pass.

Because the movement of hundreds of tanks is not small, Luxembourg also wants to quietly drive all its tanks under the nose of the British army, but the movement of the tanks is too great to achieve covert contact with the enemy.

The British must have known that the 7th Panzer Division had reached the Mersha Pass, but the people above said that Rommel's troops would not attack for nearly a month because of the lack of necessary supplies.

The British commander at the Merscha Pass was Lieutenant General Raphael, but he was also a very serious British commander, although the British commander of the African Warville blindly believed that Rommel would not attack in the near future.

But Rafael never thought so, and although he had no evidence that Rommel would risk attacking, Raphael's instincts were that Rommel would definitely launch a surprise attack on the British in the near future.

Why is Raphael so sure? Because he read Rommel's book "The Infantry Attack", Rommel repeatedly emphasized in the book, attack, attack, attack again.
