Chapter 157, Winding Back

"Shrink your forces first, hold the rest of your positions to the death, and ask them for reinforcements. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 With that last word, Montgomery closed his eyes again.

Now the development of the war has long exceeded his original plan, and in the current situation, if he is not allowed to take it, then he is ready to change his position.

"Yes!" As for the 'they' Montgomery was talking about, he naturally understood that in the battlefields of North Africa, only the Seventh and Sixth Armies were the most leisurely.

Montgomery wanted to grab the credit, worried that the army of the Helling Empire would steal his limelight and lose the face of their British Empire, plus since World War II, they Britain has suffered repeated losses in the war, and they have no face in the world, so they want to find some face in the North African battlefield to come back, so they don't want to see these two armies, and they don't let them go to the battlefield, they are too strong, the German army is eliminated, and they have nowhere to show it.

But now at this juncture, he can't take care of it a lot, and if he continues like this, his position is no longer secure, and that bit of arrogance is useless.

The headquarters of the Sixth and Seventh Armies, which had been leisure, training, and had nothing to do, received a telegram from Montgomery asking them to send troops to support.

"Brother, what do you think?"

"Leave it alone, ignore him, aren't they arrogant? Let them continue to be arrogant. ā€

"It doesn't seem very nice to say something like that."

"Cut, we need to do something from the outside world, we just need to do our own thing, besides, which of your 014 divisions has already begun to go around."

"Since that's all said, let's make these allies suffer a little."

The two commanders of the Sixth and Seventh Armies held walkie-talkies to communicate remotely, and both sides decided to ignore Montgomery and continue to eat, drink, and travel at public expense.

The 007th Panzer Division acted as the vanguard and swooped straight towards the German deep column, and after crossing the position, it did not encounter the enemy behind it, and rushed all the way to Tubrug.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the armored division, Tubrug's defenders were dumbfounded.

The defenders were the Italian army, which was called an unreliable representative in World War II, but the main forces of the Italian army still fought very well.

The defenders here belong to the second-line troops, and their combat effectiveness can indeed be linked to the pasta that has been passed down in history, and in the face of a surprise attack by the armored division, they were suddenly scattered, and Tubrug suddenly changed masters.

These pit Italian troops lost Tubrug and fled, and more importantly, they were in a hurry to run away and did not spread the news of Tubrug's loss, so that the German-Italian troops on the front line did not know that their rear had fallen, and the chrysanthemum **.

After taking Tubrug, the panzer division began to deploy defenses as soon as possible to prevent the German-Italian attack.

Tubrug, which had gone through the first battle, is now a large area of ruins, many places can be used as fortifications, and the defense is simple.

But the result was that they waited for a long time, and the main forces of the 014th Division arrived, but the enemy had not yet arrived, making them think that the Germans were not engaged in some conspiracy.

In fact, the expression of the famous desert fox in the current German command was sluggish, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"What do you say? Tubrug lost? The desert fox waited for the round and large glasses, and looked at the Italian signal soldier in front of him.

"Yes, yes!" Under the powerful aura of the desert fox, this cringe responded.

"Who? Who guards Tubrug? I'm going to pull him out and shoot him, all of them. The desert fox roared.

Tubrug's loss shattered his plans and left him at a loss of what to do. The back road was cut, and there were allies in front, but once there was a front and back attack, it would be more than auspicious for him.

"They've been broken up, I don't know where they've gone, and we're looking for them." The Italian soldier whispered, looking like a victim.

As a general attack, how could the desert fox let him go like this, staring at this Italian army with cold eyes, and finally didn't say anything.

If this was his soldier, he would have been killed by a single shot.

Originally, Montgomery had a headache, but now he Rommel had a headache, originally he had an advantage over the Allies, but now if he doesn't do it well, he may run away, the world is unpredictable, by the way, I don't know about the sneak attack on Tubrug That army, it seems that the Allied troops are all involved. Wait, is that the troop.

"I ask you, whose army is it that attacked Tubrug?"

"We don't know about this, but we're also sending people to investigate."

"What a bastard, I don't even know the enemy, I really don't know how you fight."

"yes, yes, they all seem to be East Asian." The British signal soldier stammered, and finally gave a useful piece of information.

"Sure enough, it's them, and they lost the bet." The Desert Fox sighed.

He also thought about the rear of Xiling's army around him, but he didn't expect that the other party would go directly to fight Tubrug, cut off his rear line, cut his logistics, and if he continued to fight, he would very likely lose.

There were three paths in front of him, desperately defeating the allies in front of him, and then continuing to face the two armies of the Hiling Empire behind the allies, and then being pinched to death by them.

The second way is to retreat, return to Tubrug, and recapture Tubrug, which is okay, but the loss may not be small, and it is not intelligent whether the loss can be beared.

There is a final option, which is to bypass Tubrug and retreat directly to Bil Gerari, a distance of about 240 kilometers and a desert that needs to be crossed. If it was peacetime, it would be just a desert for him, and they didn't care, but now, the army is consumed, Tubrug has been lost, and the logistics will definitely not be able to keep up, and with the current logistics, it can still support the whole army for 3 days.

Rushing to Bil Gerari in 3 days was a bit of a struggle for them, some heavy equipment was more difficult to transport, and besides, they were not the iron feet of the Red Party, and they could not create a super march of the Red Party.

In the end, the Germans decided to withdraw to Bilgerari, and the Italian army stayed to block the Allies and cover the retreat of the German army, which could be regarded as making up for the punishment of the Italian army for losing Tubrug.

Then the Germans grabbed the Italian trucks and other tools, fled first, and returned to Bilgerari.

As for these Italian troops, who cares about their life and death?

The Germans retreated suddenly, and also robbed them of equipment and supplies, leaving these Italian troops here to block the Allies, and it was not the first time that the Germans had done this kind of thing, and often pulled the Italian army as a meat pad.

As for the Italian army, their combat effectiveness is not bad, but they can't afford to be so pitted, and they were suddenly thrown up like this, and no one was reconciled, so these Italian troops discussed for a while and decided to surrender, well, they were also forced. (To be continued.) )
