The weather in July, especially in Tunisia, was already on fire amid the friction between the Allies and China.

Huaxia knows more about the Americans, but don't expect the clone spies to be worthless all over the American position, and don't expect the satellite to be as sharp as Brother Gu in later generations, and the Huaxia army can't only rely on external intelligence, and needs to hone its battlefield eye. All kinds of information need to be repeatedly investigated and verified.

The Americans are constantly exploring the Chinese position.

In addition to the special teams and scouts on both sides constantly infiltrating each other's positions, the gunfire at the forefront of the junction has not stopped.

A lot of information can be revealed in direct combat.

Since the Americans' Super Pershing tank has been unveiled, it has not been hidden, and from time to time a dozen or even dozens of vehicles have been sent to the front line to constantly counterattack the positions of Huaxia.

Huaxia also unceremoniously dispatched rhinos and grizzly bears, or the T-55 jumped out directly to fight alone.

Even if there is a numerical advantage, most of the time, the soldiers on both sides also rely on the life-and-death game of heads-up to defend the honor of their national armies.

They even exchanged war letters, agreeing on the number of tank squadrons or even brigades to have a duel of iron knights in a certain area.

The former gentlemen's war between the Allies and the Germans in North Africa seems to have affected both sides now, but in fact both sides have their own plans.

The Americans also hope to have more opportunities to run in and become familiar with the new equipment, and even sharpen it through small-scale actual combat, and also hope to find out the performance of the main tanks in China and some habitual tactics of the Chinese army in this way.

Although there is detailed data on the original Super Pershing and Patton tanks, and even the specific information about the Super Pershing from the clone spy, Huaxia also wants to know more about the actual battle.

Only a weapon that enters a state of life and death war will exert all its power.

And most importantly, many soldiers also hope to wash off the dust on the Chinese tank unit and reveal its original posture of honor.

Since its establishment, the vast majority of the Huaxia tank units have relied on the superior performance and number of tanks to overwhelm their opponents. This makes people in the world always use colored glasses to criticize the combat command ability of the Chinese tank army with the same number and similar performance. Even later it was widely publicized in Britain and the United States. In order to provoke Huaxia.

War has always been done at all extremes, and quantity and performance are an advantage in themselves, and the high-level Chinese leaders will naturally not be stupid to use the lives of soldiers on the battlefield to prove any bullshit knights or gentlemen.

But the invincible Huaxia tank unit has its own confidence and arrogance, and when it met the Super Pershing, which was comparable to the strength of the T-55, some people immediately stood up and wanted to slap the faces of those Western media through one victory after another.

At the beginning of the duel with one or several tanks, even the superiors pretended not to see it and acquiesced.

After several encounters. Although Huaxia won more and lost less, under the deliberate promotion of the Allies, such a duel had begun to expand in scale, and it had not developed until the duel of nearly a hundred tanks that it was stuck by the order from above.

For the sake of military morale and morale, those small-scale combat superiors still adopted a tacit attitude.

A battle of this magnitude can only be regarded as a small friction or game. Everyone understands that the opposing position's position may rush out at any time a dozen times or even dozens of times the tank force to completely ignite a decisive battle.

The current skirmishes have been considered restrained.

Both sides have accumulated hundreds of thousands of troops on the long position, and it is impossible to be safe and stable, and they need to release the irritability and tension in their hearts, and they also need to slowly warm up into the state of war. As long as it is not a surprise attack, such fights and frictions are a normal prelude to a battle.

Such friction is not limited to tank troops.

On the front line, the duel between cold guns and cold guns has not stopped, and the explosions in the minefields of both sides and the machine-gun sound of the fortifications have not stopped.

The prestige of the Chinese sniper once again resounded in North Africa, and the sharp skills of the Chinese scouts also made the American soldiers who had palpitations learn the Chinese word kung fu early.

The artillery positions of the Americans tasted the power of the counterattack of the Chinese heavy artillery. There is also one more prayer every day. Thank God for not letting Huaxia's legendary Blizzard rocket artillery and Vanguard cannon descend on their heads in advance.

For the sea of fire coverage of rocket artillery and the devastating thump of the Vanguard cannon. The Americans, who are extremely worried, have always wanted to find out where they are and destroy them in advance.

However, these sharp weapons of Huaxia died down and did not show up once, and the Americans' temptation only tested the power of Huaxia's heavy artillery, and they stopped early.

Unless it is a large-scale attack, but the Americans do not dare to provoke a final decisive battle at this time.

The intelligence agencies of the Americans are being scolded every day.

There was too much fog hanging over Huaxia. The Americans, who had suffered many losses, no longer dared to blindly judge the strength of the Chinese army, nor did they dare to rush into attack based on the estimated number and strength of the Chinese army. Even if it is a temptation on the front line, it is impossible to figure out the specific strength of Huaxia.

In order to win a victory, the Americans chose the easiest way, and when they couldn't figure out the specific strength of Huaxia, they tried their best to put on their strongest state, so that even if they lost, they would not be unwilling to lose.

With the Americans also amassing strength, it is obviously unrealistic to try a large-scale artillery bombardment that could easily detonate a decisive battle in advance.

And the aerial reconnaissance that the Americans have always been proud of is also doing nothing under the suppression of the Huaxia fighters. Even if they dispatched their new jet fighter F-86 Sabre cameo reconnaissance plane, they were also stopped by the high-speed interception of the Huaxia J-6 and the strangulation of the dense anti-aircraft artillery group.

Unless the Americans dispatch a large-scale saber formation, they will fundamentally gain advantage in the air defense system in China.

"This is our secret weapon to deal with China and regain air supremacy in one fell swoop, and only when it is used at the right time and place can we give full play to the best results!" For the F-86, the leader of the first generation of jet fighters developed by the Americans, the Americans obviously do not have much confidence.

The Sabre, whose performance entered the world's advanced ranks, and even surpassed the German jet fighters, appeared, apparently at an inopportune time. encountered the Huaxia fighter that opened the cheat, not to mention the J-5 that did not overwhelm Huaxia in terms of performance, even in terms of quantity, it was far inferior to the thousands of Huaxia main fighters.

Even though the U.S. industry is developed, as the U.S. aviation industry begins to transform into a jet, it has been a lot of trouble to quickly get the Sabre out of the test ground, off the production line, and into the army. In terms of quantity, it is obvious that it has not yet entered the state of mass production, and the Americans in North Africa now hold only more than 200 aircraft in their hands.

Such a volume does not affect the big picture at all. Even if the rear is still being mobilized while producing, but in the face of new jet fighters, pilots and ground support maintenance and support all need an adaptation process, it is obvious that it cannot be fully redressed immediately, and can only be used as a killer soldier.

The Americans have set extremely strict secrecy measures for Sabre, hoping that Sabre will produce miracles at a critical moment without knowing that information has been leaked. Even the test flight training was in China, so naturally it would not be exposed prematurely in the prelude to the war, and even the aerial reconnaissance, to which the Americans attached great importance, immediately stopped being used after the modified Sabre reconnaissance version encountered a setback.

All in order to create a surprise for Huaxia.

The surprise was soon staged, but it was Huaxia who performed first.

In July, when the flames were lit everywhere, the friction between China and the United States became more and more intense, and by the end of July, it was becoming more and more difficult to control.

And the logistical pressure on Huaxia is also increasing.

The Libyan sub-base, which can ensure the logistics of 200,000 troops, coupled with the logistics supply of China's combined land, sea and air forces, is also difficult to maintain for a long time the use of the more than 400,000 Chinese troops.

By this time, the Allies had gathered 630,000.

Even though northern Tunisia was moistened by the Mediterranean Sea and the environment was much better than those desert areas in North Africa, if the Strait of Gibraltar had not been completely opened to the Allies at this time, the Americans' shipping in the Atlantic Ocean would have become less threatening, and it would have been difficult to afford such a large military expenditure.

The Germans and the Allies were no more than a 100,000-strong knight duel in the whole of North Africa. This time, in order to break the myth of the undefeated Chinese army, the Americans made a bloody investment, of which the US army alone had 510,000, and strove to win the war.

……

"It's not terrible to have a large number of people, just wrap a big stuffed dumpling! It doesn't matter if there are more materials, there are more dumpling fillings, and maybe it can solve some of the material difficulties of our next trip to Europe. Meng Xiang said with a smile.

"Although the Americans have personnel and supplies in place, they are still in the run-in preparation period, and we are already in place, and the attack is just right at this time!" Fan Chong said solemnly.

Meng Xiang nodded.

When the accumulation of ammunition and weapons at the Libyan sub-base was in place, when Meng Xiang's various followers were ready, especially the gift packages promised by the Germans had begun to be shipped on a large scale, the Chinese North African Corps, which had initially figured out the situation of the US position, decisively launched a general offensive from Tunisia and Algeria on July 23 with Meng Xiang's order. (To be continued.) )

PS: I want to speed up the pace, but I can't get around. I always feel that there are too many things that have not been described, and I am a little nagging if I am not careful. I'm sorry!
