With the surrender of the Germans, the battle was over, and all the Axis forces in eastern North Africa were wiped out, followed by West Africa. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main forces of the German army were withdrawn to West Africa, and the lessons of this battle were expected to make Rommel much more careful.

However, in this battle, the vitality of the German-Italian coalition army was greatly damaged, and it was not a matter of one or two days to recover, just right, you can take this opportunity to continue to march in West Africa and fight all the way to Tunisia.

The Allies don't know what the situation is, whether they will send troops with them.

If they did not move, then the expeditionary force decided to sweep through North Africa alone.

The distance from Gaguela to Tunisia is already as far as from the Red Sea coast to Gaguera, about 1,000 kilometers, and the whole journey adds up, about 2,200 kilometers.

The distance of more than 2,200 kilometers is a severe test for logistics and transportation, and it is not enough to rely on airdrops by transport planes alone, so it is necessary to establish a transport corps to transport materials to the front line.

In Africa, there is only a short railway from the Suez Canal to Selum, and then all the way to Tunisia, there is no railway at all, and it has to be transported by road.

Originally, there was no road, but after running too much, the road came out.

The marks of the tank tracks on the road are still clearly visible.

On the potholed road, a convoy drove slowly, although the road was not smooth, but it was easy to run, but they were all towing tanks for now.

With the load of a Ural truck, it is impossible to pull a tank, let alone an Avenger, not even 59.

So the vehicles used to pull the tank are all remade, and as for the power, it is still the front of the Urals.

The power of the Urals is good, but the load of the hanging bucket behind it can't keep up, so it can only be replaced with a more bearable hanging bucket.

So there was a row of wheels below, and there were only two beams on the bucket, and the tank was placed on it, and it was pulled by the front of the Ural to run slowly, because the tank was heavy, and it couldn't run in tow, and the road conditions were poor, and the speed was up to 40 yards, and when it was low, it was 10 yards.

Fortunately, there were not many tanks lost at the front, and there were few tanks that needed to be transported, and most of the Urals were fully loaded with supplies.

Compared with transport planes, the total number of trucks transported by the automobile transport troops arrived several times at a time, so they had a large number of trucks, and they were all a group of large oil eaters.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of oil, and this Britain and the United States have given assurances that the oil is from the United States, and it was from Britain before, and even the United States itself uses it on the head of the United Kingdom, and there is no way, although whoever makes them help Britain fight the war, it will naturally be counted on the head of the United Kingdom.

Britain in World War II was not poor, and there was no shortage of resources, only their domestic capital was lacking, because Germany blocked their shipping lanes, and the resources could not be transported back, and a large number of resources were piled up in the colonies, or they were snatched away by the Axis powers.

For the expeditionary force, the British logistics department is very welcome, wishing that they would end the war in North Africa as soon as possible, and they would not have to suffer here, so the logistics of the expeditionary force has always been to do their best.

As for Montgomery's protests, the logistics department didn't dump them at all, and you can be like an expeditionary force if you have the ability.

Montgomery was said to have no temper, but fortunately he didn't care.

Therefore, the logistics department of the British army, and the expeditionary force have a good relationship, of course, there are still people who look down on them, after all, the yellow race.

After conquering Gaguera, the expeditionary force did not rush to achieve success, but camped in Gaguera, preparing to make this place a second transport station, where all the supplies brought up were stored.

On the side of the Allied forces, Montgomery was a little unhappy, as the army came to Gaguera, this battle saw that he had no temper at all, and the expeditionary force's offensive like chopping melons and vegetables showed him what absolute strength was.

Having seen the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force, Montgomery could not afford to become an enemy of it, although he was proud, but he was not a fool.

Such a strong army, against them, if you see yourself unhappy and pit yourself, it will really be impossible to eat and walk around.

However, it was the tanks of the expeditionary force that caught Montgomery's eye the most urgently.

He can be regarded as having seen the sharpness of the tanks of the expeditionary force, the German tanks are like paper paste in front of them, they are not vulnerable at all, but the German tanks still have nothing to do with them.

If he had such a tank, he would not have been beaten so badly by Rommel in the first place, and it is estimated that Rommel would have been driven out of North Africa long ago.

Therefore, Montgomery believed that the expeditionary force fought so well that it was completely advantageous in weapons, and they could only fight in the general battle in a decent manner, but it was the airborne troops who blocked the way, which made people's eyes shine slightly.

Montgomery was right, the expeditionary force was able to win because of the advantage of equipment.

The individual soldiers are all dressed in local tyrant uniforms, the logistics are continuous 24 hours a day, the on-call artillery support, the endless artillery suppression, and the metal storm of bullets, these consumption add up to enough for the British army to fight a few more battles of El Alamein.

Therefore, in modern warfare, in addition to morale, science and technology are also very important, and the expeditionary force is completely crushing the German army with science and technology, and there is no tactic at all.

Anyway, the battle of Gaguera was a testament to the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force, and they did not disappoint the world.

Montgomery didn't know where to get a set of individual equipment for the expeditionary force, and it was just the equipment of ordinary soldiers.

A standard desert camouflage uniform, two sets inside and outside, this is nothing peculiar, it can only be said that the fabric is good, and the camouflage is also very new.

What interests him is tactical vests and backpacks.

It's the first time he's seen a tactical vest, there are a lot of pockets on it, it looks like it can hold a lot of things, and he knows the cartridge belt on his chest, and he's seen some expeditionary forces stuff the cartridge here, but what makes him strange is that these vests are double-layered, with openings on the side, and they seem to be able to stuff something, but he didn't get anything, but he guessed that it might be something like a steel plate, used for bulletproof.

Montgomery's guess was eight/nine and ten, and he could only guess that it was indeed bulletproof, but it was not a steel plate.

Put down the tactical vest, and look at the backpack, it doesn't look big when it is not loaded, he knows, the capacity of this backpack is huge, look at the backpack carried by those soldiers, which one is not the boss.

There were gas masks, first aid kits, etc., a whole bunch of bits and pieces, and his table was full. What surprised him even more was that there were pistols, which seemed to be equipped with everyone, mainly for close defense, and he had to sigh that this army really did whatever it took to increase the chances of survival of the soldiers on the battlefield.

So far, as far as he knows, the expeditionary force has suffered very few losses in battle, and most of them have been wounded. (To be continued.) )
