The army rested in the port of Egypt for a day, because there was no Montgomery did not look for them, and they did not bother to go to Montgomery, so they stayed in the port and experienced the exotic atmosphere, these soldiers looked curiously at Egypt full of yellow sand, it seems that they Australia is also full of yellow sand, but the architecture is different.

Montgomery didn't seem to be able to see them so leisurely, not like they came to fight, so he sent them on a mission to go to Matru.

Matruh's defenders were Army Group Nile, the future British Eighth Army, known as the Crusaders of North Africa.

At present, the troops of the two sides are in the confrontation boundary of West Dubai Rani, although the main strength of the German army is at the home of the woolly bear on the Eastern Front, the combat effectiveness of the troops in North Africa is not bad, although it has not been able to directly push through Egypt to the Suez Canal, but it has also pressed the coalition forces to the east of West Dubai Rani.

On the surface, it was a confrontation between each other, but the German-Italian forces had the upper hand and suppressed the Anglo-American forces.

From here on the Red Sea to Marut, it is about 500 km or so, and Marut is 130 km away from West Dubai Rani.

Having received Montgomery's notice, the Sixth Army began to pack up its equipment and go to Matroux, and the Airborne Division was left behind to stay in port.

The armored division was the first to set off, he was all mechanized, had the advantage of speed, and it was expected to reach Marut in two days, and if the march was intensified, it would be able to reach it in one day, but it was not in a hurry anyway, it was okay to slow down.

As for the mixed division and infantry division, the speed is even slower, because of the drag of some heavy equipment, the speed of the team cannot be improved, especially the low degree of mechanization of the infantry division, more than half of the troops have to rely on foot, after all, they are infantry divisions.

Hundreds of 59 armored divisions drove towards Marut, and the scene was very spectacular, driving at high speed on the desert, and the tracks kicked up smoke and dust, which was very eye-catching.

With so many tanks acting together, usually only armored clusters do this, right?! Some people looked at the armored division and guessed where this armored cluster came from, and it was a little unfamiliar.

When the Nile Army Group on the Marut Line saw a large number of tanks suddenly rushing from behind their chrysanthemums, they were frightened, and thought that the Germans were interspersed behind them, and they were ready to abandon Marut and prepare to be surrounded.

Although it was finally learned that this was the reinforcement of the Xiling Empire, the Nile Army still had a skeptical attitude, after all, these hundreds of tanks were indeed a little scary.

After the 206th Panzer Division arrived in Marut, the Germans in West Dubailani soon received news that reinforcements from the coalition forces opposite them had arrived, and it was also an armored cluster force, and more importantly, this armored group was from the newly formed Hiling Empire. Rommel also heard that their Führer had sent someone to assassinate the supreme leader of the Hiling Empire, but failed, but killed the second leader, provoked the anger of the country, and finally declared war on them Germany.

This is not the key, the key is that I heard that this country is very powerful, how can it be powerful? As far as equipment is concerned, among the countries he knows, it seems that this Xiling Empire should be the most advanced, and they Germany had a lot of exchanges with it at the beginning, and obtained a lot of good things, as far as the tanks under his command now, if it were not for the Xiling Empire, it is estimated that he should still command a large number of No. 3 tanks, and fly a large number of Tiger tanks, and even some Tiger Kings, No. 3 tanks are only used as infantry support tanks.

Rommel was a little excited about the armored forces that were about to face the Xiling Empire, and he had fought with the British and American tanks, and their tanks were not worth mentioning, and they were destroyed in one shot, so he was looking forward to what difference the tanks of the Xiling Empire were.

The previous stage of the offensive cost a lot, and now the entire army has to rest, not only they have to rest, but the coalition forces on the opposite side also have to rest, and there will be no big war for the time being.

The 206th Armored Division was placed in Marut, and he also found a random place to camp in Marut, and then the mixed division and infantry division slowly arrived, and Marut became lively.

In Marut, there are not only the Nile Army, but also the Australian Dispatch Army, these Australian troops looked at the Sixth Army, their eyes were full of hostility, but the other side cut their country in half, it would be strange if there was no hostility, and it was also restrained from above, otherwise they would all fight.

The Australian side was restrained by the British, not to go to trouble the Sixth Army, the Sixth Army did not bother to pay attention to the Australian Army at all, did not have the same knowledge as them, in order to prevent them from conflicting, the Sixth Army was placed south of Marut, and the Australian Army was placed on the coast to the north, separating them.

Although Britain really wants to see the Sixth Army and the Australian Army clash, but seeing the unscrupulous appearance of the Sixth Army, coupled with the fact that it is now facing a great enemy, it is not suitable for internal friction, and it will settle accounts in the future.

The arrival of the Sixth Army was suddenly more than 70,000 troops by the non-Allied forces, the British army plus the colonial army, but a total of more than 150,000 people, Italy is only 9 divisions of more than 100,000 people, the German army is about 130,000, the US army has 3 divisions of more than 40,000 people, the Free French Army only has a pitiful division of less than 7,000 people, and some other local armies, adding up to 200,000 allied forces, but it is still not as many as the German-Italian coalition army, and it is too loose to be managed in a unified manner, and the combat effectiveness cannot be raised.

Now with the Sixth Army, the total strength of the coalition forces suddenly surpassed the German-Italian coalition forces, and as for the combat effectiveness, it remains to be verified.

However, the two sides are still resting and recuperating, and as for when a new wave of battles will begin, it is not yet confirmed.

The whole army of the Sixth Army, with the exception of the airborne division in the port, stayed in the position where it was stationed in Marut for these days without moving, and took advantage of this free time to begin digging positions and building defensive lines, without stopping for a moment.

For the behavior of the Sixth Army, the coalition forces were a little puzzled, but they didn't care, it was just the whole position, and they often did, digging positions wherever they went, the Sixth Army had just arrived, and it didn't have its own defensive positions, so it was necessary to dig one.

But other people's digging a temporary position is to dig some tunnels, a simple reinforcement is enough, after they dig the position, they actually pour cement reinforcement, as if to do permanent fortifications.

Digging a position can dig up tricks, it's about them, the positions are varied, strangely shaped, and completely different from the positions that the Allies know.

At present, the Soviet army attaches great importance to trenches, and in the Soviet army, there are all kinds of teaching materials for digging trenches, after all, they have vast land, relatively few cities, most of them are field/warfare, and there are a large number of guerrillas, so it is necessary to dig trenches in the field.

And the textbooks provided by Lu Qiang are even more improved from Mao Xiong's family, which is more perfect, all aspects are taken into account, and the functions are stronger, which leads to more tricks. (To be continued.) )
