At present, the German army has been surrounded by regiments, and the German tanks have been destroyed one after another, and it is unrealistic to continue to break through, not to mention the depth of the defense of the 1st Army in the depths of the current battle, and the success of the breakthrough is almost zero.

Many German officers knew this, and in such a situation, there were only two ways to go, one was to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and the other was to surrender.

Obviously, these German troops were not willing to surrender, and if all these German troops surrendered, the German forces in the entire North African region would be greatly weakened. If you don't want to surrender, you can only hold on and wait for help.

The senior German officer just now came up with a good idea, and immediately ordered all his tanks, cars, etc. to quickly form a defensive line, relying on this defensive line to hold on, hoping to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

This German army suffered heavy losses in a short time, and now, the Germans have asked Rommel for help, and German reinforcements may be on the move.

After receiving the order, all the German troops gave up the breakthrough, but formed a huge circle of all the tanks, trucks, etc., a large circle several kilometers long, with nearly 100 tanks remaining in the German army, hundreds of large trucks of two infantry divisions, each tank or truck, 20 or 30 meters away and 50 or 60 meters away.

The Germans used these tanks or trucks as support to buy a huge defensive line, and the German two infantry divisions were equipped with a large number of infantry guns, anti-aircraft guns, and mortars.

The move of the German army. The soldiers who were surrounded on the periphery immediately discovered that after the German army was surrounded, Wang Haiyang and other high-ranking members of the 1st Group Army, riding armored command vehicles, came to a small high ground, several kilometers apart, holding binoculars to pay attention to the battlefield from afar.

Wang Haiyang suddenly saw the strange behavior of the German army, Wang Haiyang also felt a little strange, and thought to himself, what kind of reputation is the German army doing at this time?

Although it is strange in my heart. But. The victory was in hand, Wang Haiyang did not order the soldiers to continue the attack, Wang Haiyang also wanted to see what these German troops were playing.

Thereupon. Wang Haiyang said loudly: "Pass my order." The warriors were ordered to besiege but not attack. Give these Germans enough time and we'll play with them. ”

Soon, estimated for less than an hour. The German defense line began to take shape, and Wang Haiyang couldn't help laughing when he saw the huge defense line built by the German army.

"It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting."

"Chief! It seems that the Germans are going to hold on and wait for reinforcements, you see, they are still erecting mountain artillery and battle defense artillery. ”

Hearing this, Wang Haiyang nodded and said with a smile: "The equipment of the two infantry divisions of the German army is not bad, and their battle defense artillery and mountain artillery pose a great threat to us, so I ordered the soldiers to retreat two kilometers back." ”

These two German infantry divisions, which were basically motorized infantry divisions, were equipped with a large number of trucks, and the large trucks of the two divisions numbered at least hundreds, in addition, they were also equipped with a lot of mountain artillery, anti-aircraft guns, and even 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

Just now, under the attack of the fighters, these various artillery pieces have basically not been unloaded from the towing trucks, and basically have not played a role, and now, the German army has built a defensive line, and these artillery pieces have also been unloaded from the towing trucks one by one, and quite a few German artillery are setting up their guns.

There are two main types of German anti-aircraft guns, one is a 37-mm anti-aircraft gun, and the other is a 50-mm anti-aircraft gun, the German 50-mm anti-aircraft gun is not small, and it is a big threat to the Type 39 tank.

The two major infantry divisions of the German army are equipped with a large number of war guns, at least dozens of guns in each division, and now, these battle defense guns are basically aimed at the Chinese tanks in the distance.

And the German 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, which were even more powerful, were too late to unload from towing trucks before, and now, as soon as these cannons are erected, they should not be underestimated.

The German 88-mm anti-aircraft gun could be used not only as an anti-aircraft gun, but also as a flat-fire gun, which could be aimed directly at armored targets.

At the beginning, the Germans were menacing, completely despising the 1st Army, the Germans thought that they had more than 200 tanks, and there were two well-equipped motorized infantry divisions behind them, and the Germans thought that they were a formidable force and must be unstoppable.

The Germans never expected that their more than 200 tanks would be severely damaged by the Chinese army's tank group, and the two infantry divisions that followed up with them basically did not have time to play a role.

Now, as the defensive front was gradually completed, and the Chinese chariot groups on the periphery gradually moved away, the Chinese army had obviously retreated a large part from itself, and there was no intention of continuing the offensive at all.

Seeing this scene, many German officers and soldiers quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the tactics they had just adopted were completely correct.

Not only are trucks and tanks forming a solid support point or firepower point, but more importantly, a cannon has been erected, and these guns can exert their power.

*************

Distance.

The three tank regiments of the 1st Army, three mechanized infantry regiments, and a large number of combat vehicles, about two or three kilometers away from the German army, confronted the Germans from afar, and the soldiers did not attack.

The top hatches of some tanks were even opened, and quite a few tankmen got out of the tanks and leaned on the tanks to breathe.

Comrade Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, was also paying close attention to the situation in the German positions, which were about four or five square kilometers, and the German tanks suffered relatively large losses, but the casualties of the two German infantry divisions were not large.

Wang Haiyang had a way to deal with the German position surrounded by an iron barrel formation, and there were at least two ways, one was to use a large number of heavy artillery to cover this German position with artillery fire, and the German army would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Another way is to call for air support, which is to bomb the German positions intensively, because there are means to deal with the German army, Wang Haiyang seems relatively calm and not in a hurry at all.

As for the reinforcements of the German army, Wang Haiyang was not very worried, Wang Haiyang knew that even if the German army had a large number of reinforcements to march here, it would definitely be blocked by the American army and the British army.

"Commander! We bombarded with heavy artillery, so that the Germans would pay for the power of our heavy artillery. ”

Wang Haiyang shook his head, it is a good way to bombard with heavy artillery, but Wang Haiyang is not prepared to do this, on the one hand, it is more troublesome for the heavy artillery group to temporarily build artillery positions, and in addition, if the German army has planes coming to sneak attack, his heavy artillery losses will be not small.

Since entering the North African battlefield, the heavy artillery groups of the 1st Army have been cautious, and at present, they are all hidden, and each heavy artillery is either covered with withered grass or covered with camouflage nets, and has been guarding against the German air force.

Although, a few days ago, the Chinese Navy inflicted heavy losses on the German air force in North Africa, but who knows whether the German army in North Africa has replenished its fighters, after all, the German aircraft are very large, and it is completely normal to transfer a batch of aircraft from other battlefields.

In addition, and more importantly, Wang Haiyang did not want to consume his precious artillery shells, and now, the 1st Army was far away from China, and it was more difficult to supply, and the shells had to be used on the blade.

Wang Haiyang thought for a moment and decided: "Contact the Indian Ocean Fleet and send planes over to bomb this group of German troops." ”

Aircraft bombing, that was indeed a good idea, and several senior commanders of the 1st Army next to them were also more in favor, and immediately, the command of the 1st Army began to contact the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Persian Gulf base.

Thirty "Super Flying Fortress" bombers, two squadrons of Mustang fighters, after receiving orders, flew together from the base airfield.

**************

On the German side.

After learning that his troops had suffered heavy losses, Rommel, the supreme commander of the German army in North Africa, ordered again, and concentrated nearly 100 combat vehicles, two motorized rifle divisions, and sent reinforcements quickly, in addition, about 100 aircraft reinforcements.

The German planes in North Africa happened to be replenished again, and Rommel sent more than a dozen bombers and eighty or ninety fighters to reinforce the besieged German army.

The Germans believed that with the reinforcement of these aircraft, coupled with the fact that they had sent nearly 100 combat vehicles and two motorized infantry divisions to attack from the ground, they should be able to successfully break through the encirclement.

Both China and Germany are starting to act, and the clock is ticking.

The besieged German army already knew that their reinforcements were coming at a rapid pace, and there were a large number of aircraft reinforcements, and a large number of Chinese tanks around, there was no sign of attack, and these Germans couldn't help but look forward to it again.

Especially as time passed, it became more and more favorable to themselves, and these German troops gradually picked up again and prepared to break through.

As long as there are planes to respond, these German troops are ready to break out, and there is a great certainty that the breakthrough will be successful, and if a large number of ground troops arrive, it may even launch a counteroffensive against the Chinese army.

The idea of the Germans was very rosy.

*****************

Distance.

A large number of warriors, far away, the warriors besieged but did not attack, many of the warriors seemed more leisurely, the warriors had been here for nearly two hours, and many of the warriors regarded this as a kind of recuperation.

The commanders of the tank regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment have also received information that a large number of planes of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy are flying here and will bomb these German troops.
