Chapter 303: Frog Jumping Tactics (Part I)
Edward fell into deep thought, there was really no good way to think of this kind of gradual urban siege, Edward used all the knowledge he had learned, he almost scratched his head, and did not come up with a way to deal with it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Edward, who had been thinking for no avail, habitually touched the cigarette in his jacket pocket, and when Edward touched his cigarette, a photo fell from his jacket pocket, which seemed to be brought out by Edward when he was touching the cigarette, Edward quickly lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep breath, and then bent down to pick up the photo.
This is a group photo, above is a photo taken by Edward and his girlfriend when they were playing in the suburbs, Edward was catching a frog with his girlfriend, but the frog did not catch it, but jumped above the water, "Click" This warm photo was frozen by the friend.
Suddenly, Edward's eyes were fixed on the leaping frog, as if he understood something instantly, and then laughed:
"Hahaha...... Pregnant...... Pregnant...... Help me get to the Commander-in-Chief, I'm going to talk to the Commander-in-Chief personally. ”
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Edward's headphones were filled with Rommel's deep, magnetic voice:
"General Edward, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, General, I have come up with a new tactic, because we are attacking Cairo using the method of infantry and tans to fight together, and the progress is very slow.
At this rate of attack, we will not be able to capture Cairo in a short time, not to mention that we will not have enough troops, so I came up with a new tactic, which comes from a frog, and we can completely leap like a frog.
Our infantry attack group is completely unchanged, I just change the way we attack, we can have our tank assault group, using the streets of Cairo to quickly intersperse to key points, and then occupy there, and our transport helicopters can also provide us with reinforcements and reinforcements.
In this way, we can take advantage of the armor advantage to quickly divide the enemy, or we can directly attack the enemy's command center, destroy the enemy's command organs, and completely plunge the entire Cairo defenders into a chaotic situation without command. ”
As an expert in tactics and strategy, Rommel instantly understood Edward's tactical ideas, in fact, Rommel was distressed by the slow offensive of his troops, and now a very suitable new tactic "frog jumping tactic" appeared in front of Rommel, how could Rommel not be ecstatic.
He hurriedly communicated with the two other armored divisions that were attacking, and immediately executed them according to this tactical arrangement, and the three division commanders had a detailed map in their hands in the key areas of the entire Cairo City, and now they didn't need to push to those key points like this, and directly used the armor advantage to rush away.
After giving the order, Rommel did not forget to send a telegram to Hitler, explaining the change in tactical arrangements, and Hitler, who received the telegram, quickly replied and approved Rommel's tactical adjustment.
Hitler, who was already dying, had not given up power in his hands until now, Rommel was just a tactical adjustment, and Hitler had to ask, my Führer! Why bother!
Marshal Rommel knew the power of the "leapfrog tactic", and during the Pacific War, little Japan was helpless in front of the American leapfrog tactic.
Marshal Rommel, who realized the importance of this tactic, hurriedly sent forty FA223 helicopters in his hands and a paratrooper commando composed of more than 400 paratroopers to General Edward.
These helicopters can not only transport troops, but also arrange machine gunners to provide low-altitude cover for tanks, and can also carry an "iron fist" to destroy some of the strong fortifications in front of the interspersed armored units, and the FA223 becomes an air fire support point.
Edward's arrangement was simple, first send more than 400 paratroopers by helicopter to the presidential palace in Cairo and quickly capture it.
After the FA223 delivered the "Paratrooper Commando", ten support the "Paratrooper Commando" were left, and the rest of the FA223 was assigned to three main tank divisions, each of which carried two machine gunners, two MG42 general-purpose machine guns, and a box of "Iron Fist".
The FA223, armed with these weapons, will accompany the tank assault group, whose mission is to support ground forces from the air, to find and destroy the enemy that the armored forces cannot see or attack.
With tank No. 4 and armored vehicles on the ground and helicopters in the air, it was very difficult for the British army to attack and block such a torrent of steel, especially since the British army could not have thought that the Afrika Korps would do this.
Besides, most of the people defending Cairo are now the servant army, and the other is the reserve police and militia, and after the complete chaos of Cairo, it is absolutely impossible to cope with the latest tactics of the Afrika Korps "urban frog jumping tactic"
The city of Cairo has calmed down for the time being, and the "Viking Division", "Seventh Armored Division" and "Fifth Armored Division" all need to adjust their deployment and study the key points they attack first.
Of course, Rommel is the busiest, and Rommel must connect these key points in series, to divide there first, cut off there, and annihilate there first, all of which need Rommel to co-ordinate, Rommel only takes care of the overall planning, and the commander of the front line is responsible for the specific operations.
The sound of guns and cannons in Cairo reached the ears of Marshal Rommel, indicating that the battle to attack Cairo had begun, and that the perils of the ring defensive position were also full of dangers and dangers, and Marshal Rommel had to work with 120,000 spirit to deal with this dangerous situation.
"Report: The British Panzer Division to the north has begun to set off and pounce on our circular position."
"Order, Bitrich with a hundred tanks and corresponding armored vehicles, as well as two regiments of infantry, all in armored cars and cars, to meet me head-on."
The deputy commander of the "Fifth Panzer Division" Bitrich finally had the opportunity to surprise with the tank group he dreamed of, because the "Fifth Panzer Division" was formed for a short time, and of course its status in the mind of Marshal Rommel was much lower, and of course there were many fewer opportunities to be used as the main force, and this battle may be a turnaround battle for the "Fifth Panzer Division".
Rommel only had this half of the armored division in his hands, and the remaining two and a half armored divisions were all fighting fiercely with the British in Cairo.
After receiving the order to attack, Beatrich hurriedly mobilized his sortie forces, the "Fifth Armored Division" had long been a first-class combat readiness, all tanks were filled with fuel and ammunition, and the tankers were on standby at any time, and the armored vehicles were the same, neatly arranged, the drivers of the armored vehicles, and the machine gunners never left the car, and even the soldiers on board were all waiting for orders next to the armored vehicles.
