Neville gave a standard military salute to Edward, the German soldiers did a good job in this regard, even if you are a prisoner of war officer, as long as you are a high-ranking officer, and the German soldiers have a lower rank than you, under normal circumstances, they will give you a salute, and Rommel's Afrika Korps is even more demanding.

"......Smack" Edward returned a military salute to Neville, which was not a Nazi salute, but a standard military salute.

"Colonel Neville, thank you for taking the time to receive me alone in such a passionate battlefield, thank you sincerely, this is my car, it is so powerful, so majestic, I can't wait."

"Yes General, this is your 3321 tank, and he will take you across the Egyptian plains."

At this time, Neville's armored assault group was carrying out another pre-war replenishment, and according to reconnaissance, three lines of defense were arranged at a distance of more than 100 kilometers between Cairo and the Egyptian line, and they were the last line of defense in Cairo Egypt.

Once the breakthrough is made, Cairo will be displayed in front of the German 7th Panzer Division, which is the last line of defense arranged by the British "Army Group Nile".

Army Group "Nile" (3 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry brigade, commander General Dombu-Bernatsky) was the 2nd echelon. The second-echelon troops of the British army were all second-line troops, or servant troops transferred from some colonies.

Edward touched here and there inside tank No. 3321, and from time to time his mouth made a sound of praise, the German No. 4E tank was positive, much better than the Italian tank.

The commander of the 7th Panzer Division, Luxemburg, was making the final deployment, and the order to attack was quickly issued, and in such a penetrating battle to break through the enemy's defensive line, the air force was definitely in the lead, destroying as much of the British heavy weapons as possible, so as to minimize their own losses.

Luxembourg didn't have to worry about his back road at all, because he was followed by the 5th Panzer Division and the Viking Panzer Division, and even if the British troops deployed on the Egyptian defense line showed signs of retreating, Luxembourg didn't have to worry about his back road being copied.

At this time, Rommel was carefully analyzing the various reports and intelligence sent back from the front line in the front-line command post, and of course, there were countless staff officers to help sort out and classify them so that Rommel could consult them at any time.

Several combat staff officers stood straight in front of the sand table with a push rod in hand, and in front of them was a huge sand table, on which was the strategic situation map of the entire British army, and several models of black Type 4 tanks had been placed on the sand table.

The location of the tank model on the map is the current location of Luxembourg, these tank models are the tank assault group representing Neville, their back is divided into left and right wings, on one side is the tank model of the 5th Panzer Division, on the other side is the tank model of the Viking Division, and behind is the huge transport fleet of three divisions.

Rommel saw the situation of his troops and found no major problems, and after only a few hours of attacking, he advanced more than 100 kilometers into the territory of the British army, and more than 200 kilometers to Cairo and Egypt.

The speed of progress can be described as god-speed, and the diversion troops arranged by Rommel are still fighting with Montgomery's main army on the Egyptian defensive line.

In fact, Rommel also found signs of retreat of some British troops, but Rommel did not think that this was Montgomery wanting to escape, but that these British troops wanted to rush back to Cairo to defend, is Montgomery, who is also a famous general, really what Rommel thought? The battle will speak for itself.

The role of the 4th Air Division was also immeasurable, the role of the 4th Air Division was also immeasurable, the air force escorted the whole process, and cleared the obstacles to the advance of the tank troops, eliminating all the heavy firepower of the British army.

These effects are immeasurable, otherwise how could Rommel's German armored forces be so smooth, this is completely the power of multi-arms coordinated operations! Not that one, that kind of unit can do it, and the honor belongs to everyone in the German 7th Panzer Division.

After looking at his troops, Rommel began to shift his gaze to other fronts, on which the progress of each unit was clearly marked, and on the sand table was a small flag instead of that unit, and the small flag was written on the number of that unit, so that he could see the strategic situation of the entire British army at a glance.

Now the question is that the combat position of Rommel's seventh armor is very prominent, and Rommel began to ponder and analyze whether his own troops were in danger of such a strategic situation.

In order to protect his own transport lines, Rommel has sent his supplementary division to garrison the defense line broken by Naville, the supplementary division also has some tanks, but there are not many of them, other weapons are complete, and the personnel of 20,000 is an overstaffed infantry division, and there should be no problem in holding the place that has been occupied.

Rommel's 3 main tank divisions just need to advance, advance, break through, and break through again, even if Montgomery cuts off the supply lines of Rommel's three armored divisions, Rommel can still use FA223 transport helicopters to supply the three armored divisions!

One division of tanks was used for assault, and two divisions were used for the defense of the left and right flanks, and there was absolutely no problem with such an arrangement.

As long as Rommel's "Viking Division" tank assault group can successfully break through the defense line of the British "Nile Army" and prevent the battlefield from falling into a state of hanging, the British army will not have time to mobilize troops to encircle its own armored assault group.

Needless to say, the British air force, the first German assault began from the air, most of the British air force was no longer there at this time, and all the airfields of the British army were bombed to the ground.

After analyzing this, Rommel began to compare again, and after a moment, as if he suddenly understood something, he raised his head and said to the combat staff officer beside him:

"Order the trucks that are already empty on the front line to return immediately, then go to the base to load the things he transported before, and then quickly return to the convoy."

Isn't it tragic that Rommel's order meant to ensure that the convoy was fully loaded with all kinds of material supplies at all times, and that there would be no time for a war to be fought and there would be no ammunition or anything.

As long as the ammunition and other materials on the front line are sufficient, Rommel believes that his tank assault group will not be able to be stopped by no troops now, and Rommel will certainly not dare to say this in the next few years, but now Rommel definitely has this self-confidence.

Since it was decided to "blitzkrieg" Egypt, Rommel did not hesitate to give orders to the troops, and the supplementary divisions continued to defend the positions attacked by the troops in front, focusing on the protection of the lines of communication. (To be continued.) )
