Chapter 165, go first
In the morning, as soon as the sky was white, the logistics of the countries along the Red Sea began to pack up their things and move forward.
In the Xiling Empire, it was on the B-45 transport planes that were assembled overnight to pack various supplies, ready to be airdropped to the expeditionary force in Tubrug. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Here on the Red Sea coast, the two airborne divisions have not moved, but in the past two days, they have been moving frequently, doing recovery training, and it seems that it will soon be their turn to appear.
Tubrug and Montgomery held a meeting to discuss the plan of the attack, and the commander of the expeditionary force naturally attended, but he also saw how capable these people were, a trivial matter can be pulled for hours, no wonder they were beaten so badly by the Germans.
In the midst of each other's shrimp and eggs, the meeting ended, and the commander of the expeditionary force was quite complaining about the allies who were so grinding, but he didn't say much, after all, the two sides are not one force, and they can't control each other.
Before the end of the meeting, the commander of the expeditionary force couldn't stand their grinding like that, and if it continued like this, they would waste all the good opportunities, and directly asked when they would fight, otherwise they would go on their own.
In the face of such an unceremonious inquiry, Montgomery's face was also a little unpleasant, and the good impression that had just risen towards them collapsed.
The Allies did not give an answer, so the expeditionary force decided to act on their own, following the Allies before, seeing their friction, and found that it was better to rely on them than to come on their own, and it was estimated that the war would end sooner.
The meeting broke up unhappily, and the expeditionary force said that it would continue to advance tomorrow, and as for whether their allies could keep up, it was their business.
In Montgomery's eyes, it was these expeditionary forces that won the battle, and their hearts swelled, thinking that they could defeat the German army on their own, which was really wishful thinking.
Therefore, the Allies did not move, and they were completely in a state of watching the show.
The camp of the expeditionary force, the B-45 airdrop supplies have been received, and now they are all sent to the whole army, and the next battle may be a fierce battle for them, so the whole army must also be prepared.
On the side of the expeditionary force, it was decided to learn from the German blitzkrieg and break the German-Italian forces in North Africa in an instant.
Therefore, the two airborne divisions at the airfield were training, preparing to airdrop the German rear destruction, and the armored units were working with the air force artillery to break through the enemy's defense line and finally be captured by the infantry.
The direction of the attack was first and foremost to Maikili and Bil Gerari, and after taking these two points, they attacked Ajdabiye, and the airborne division was thrown to the rear of Aguera.
There was a large number of German-Italian forces in Arguera, and almost all of their North African forces were there. Throw the airborne division into their rear, block their rear road, and once the German-Italian forces there are routed, then victory is not far away.
From Tubrug to Aghera, there are desert wastelands along the way, which is very advantageous for large tank clusters.
The two armored divisions had thousands of vehicles of various 59 modifications, forming a mixed flow of steel, and the Germans could not stop it at all, not to mention that the morale of the current German army was relatively low.
Early the next morning, the airborne division assembled to board the plane, and outside the airport, some foreign troops looked curiously at the airborne division that boarded the plane, as well as the transport planes that took off every ten minutes.
The expeditionary force camp, the army has been assembled and standby, and an order is missing.
The commander-in-chief of the army looked at the time, and at nine o'clock, he gave the order to fight.
"Let's go!" The armored forces were the first to strike, the tracks of the tanks grinding, and the engines roaring.
The infantrymen who followed the tank, riding in armored vehicles, moved with the tanks, the main force was at the end, the trucks were pulling the artillery, and the people pulling the carts were slowly rushing forward.
The infantry battlefield is still AMX-10P25 wheels, and a car can only carry 8 people, which is a bit cold, and there are too few people to carry, so there are modified Ural trucks, the hull is welded with armor, and the front glass is equipped with a layer of grid fence.
Although it is not said to be 100% bulletproof, there is still a high chance that it will jump off the bullet.
On land, the B-45 transport planes, the first formation, a total of 10 planes, have already arrived over Agela.
Here he did not stop, and continued to drive forward, throwing the paratroopers into the rear of the Argeira.
As a later modified transport aircraft, the B-45 has a low carrying rate, with only more than 80 people in the airport, which is equivalent to the carrying capacity of the Mi-26, and 10 B-45s are only more than 800 people.
More than 800 people are enough, anyway, it is just to block the German-Italian coalition army, and the follow-up airborne troops are also being transported one after another, two airborne divisions, more than 10,000 people, isn't it enough?
The expeditionary force was concurrent, and the allies soon found out, originally thought they were just joking, but they didn't expect them to really move the troops, this person they were very passive, not sure whether to cooperate or not.
Tubrug was only a few dozen kilometers to the Germans, and along the way they also encountered German sentries and solved them easily, but again, they were all exposed.
After receiving the information, the German troops in the two cities immediately made preparations to meet the enemy, but it was a little late, and the armored units of the expeditionary force had already rushed to the city, and the cannon barrels had already opened fire on them.
The 59 Modified Type 2 of the 105 gun, loaded with grenades, opened fire on the Germans, and the explosion blew up the German soldiers who were caught off guard.
The German tanks rushed out to meet the enemy in a hurry, and the Tiger was changed in the face of the 59, needless to say, it was all solved one by one, and in the face of the 59 with reactive armor, the Tiger was powerless.
Several Germans fired a 37mm cannon mounted on the chassis of the No. 3 tank and bombarded the 59 that rushed over, but the final result was to blow up the armor of the 59 and the track was broken, and there was nothing else? It hurts.
And the result of this anti-aircraft cannon was destroyed by a single shot, and the 59-modified 100mm grenade easily blew up the chassis of No. 3 into the sky. All the Germans who operated were killed, and all the shots were destroyed.
There were also Germans who were not afraid of death with huge anti-tank grenades and wanted to get close to blow up the tanks, but these Germans were killed by machine guns behind them before they could get close.
The infantry fighting vehicles that followed the tanks and the infantry of the Ural heavy trucks, who had jumped out of the vehicles, cleared the infantry trying to get close to the tanks as the tanks attacked, and broke into the city with the tanks.
The guns were constantly fired, and the German and Italian troops in the two cities were frantically attacked by the vanguard, and in the towns they did not have as many single-shot rifles as the expeditionary forces with assault rifles.
In the narrow alleys, the power of assault rifles is brought into full play, and with a wide variety of weapons, street fighting is not difficult for them.
The houses in the two small towns, most of which are still adobe houses, can be easily pushed by tanks to shoot wherever they see an obstacle, so in the back, both towns were bulldozed by tanks, and street battles have become field battles. (To be continued.) )
