The huge fleet of thirty "Super Flying Fortresses" and two Mustang fighter squadrons gradually disappeared into the distance, and the soldiers of the 1st Army knew that the next step would be their own showmanship.

Many commanders began to shout orders: "Comrades! Come on!!! ”

The three tank regiments of the 1st Army and the three mechanized infantry regiments rushed to the German positions one after another, and the tanks of the 1st Army were on all sides.

A few kilometers away from here, on a small high ground, several high-ranking members of the 1st Group Army, including Comrade Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, have been closely following the battle situation.

Just now, the planes taking off from the base in the Persian Gulf arrived in time, and 30 "Super Flying Fortress" bombers carried out a fierce bombing of the German troops.

Now, seeing the soldiers rushing forward from all directions, everyone was beaming, and everyone knew that there was no suspense in this battle, and their 1st Army, with the help of naval aircraft, completely defeated the Germans.

As for the ground reinforcements of the German army, they have been blocked by the British and American forces, and it will be impossible for the German ground forces to come over for a while and a half.

"Chief! This is our 1st Army's first major victory in North Africa, and we are off to a good start. ”

"Hmm" Wang Haiyang nodded, waved his hand happily, and said loudly: "Report the situation to the country, and at the same time tell the Allied High Command in North Africa, so that Montgomery can also share our big victory." ”

Afar.

A lot of tanks, a lot of armored vehicles. A large number of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, a large number of armed off-road vehicles, and a large number of fighters rushed to the German positions from all sides.

Everyone was only two or three kilometers away from the German position, and soon, many soldiers approached the German position in this tank.

As the distance got closer, the soldiers saw more clearly, and the entire German position was already a mess, with corpses and stumps and broken arms everywhere. Huge craters. Tanks and cars have almost turned into piles of scrap metal under the heavy bombardment just now.

Looking at the German positions with smoke everywhere, many soldiers were so shocked that they did not come back to their senses for a long time. Everyone was far from expecting it. The losses of the Germans would have been so heavy.

on the entire German position. The remnants of the German soldiers were no more than three or five thousand, and many of them were seriously wounded, under such heavy bombardment. There are a large number of seriously injured people, and that is very normal.

In addition, the rest of the German officers and soldiers were more or less wounded, and these remnants of the German officers and soldiers saw the soldiers rushing over, and these German troops barely resisted.

There were only a few gunshots on the entire German position, and soon, the sparse gunfire was gone, and the Germans basically surrendered.

As the soldiers rushed to the German position, the remnants of the German army surrendered, and the whole battle basically ended, a very perfect end, the coming raging German army, under the bombing of the planes, under the blow of the soldiers, the whole army was annihilated.

*******

After the battle, on the third day, the 6th Army also began to land in this small harbor, and the main forces of the 1st Army, after two days of rest, began to march north, the day before the arrival of the 6th Army.

This small seaport called Sefaj is about 70 to 80 kilometers away from the Suez Canal, and the headquarters of the 1st Army is set up in a small town only two or three kilometers away from the seaport.

On the harbor pier.

Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, took several high-ranking members of the 1st Group Army to the dock to personally greet Chu Tianming, commander of the 6th Group Army, and his party.

When the two met, two pairs of big hands were tightly clasped together, both of them were old acquaintances, and they were both Zhang Yunfei's old subordinates, and the commanders of several large columns of the 36th Group Army used to have a very good relationship now.

"Lao Chu! Welcome to North Africa, and when you come, we are even stronger. ”

Chu Tianming held Wang Haiyang's big hand tightly, and said happily: "Old Wang, when I was still in the Indian Ocean, I heard that you fought a beautiful victory, congratulations." ”

Wang Haiyan said with a smile: "That was three days ago, and now, the main force of my army has been deployed, after you come, we can cooperate well in the future and fight a few more beautiful victories." ”

"That's it!" Chu Tianming smiled heartily and said: "Brothers work together, their profits are broken, our two major armies cooperate with each other, and they can't take a single Suez Canal?" ”

After Chu Tianming finished speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed, full of confidence in the future battle.

After laughing, Chu Tianming continued: "Lao Wang, you don't know, now many commanders of the group armies in China are very jealous of you and me entering the North African battlefield to fight, and they have asked to enter the North African battlefield, and even march into the European battlefield, especially our old acquaintance Liao Yaoxiang, I heard that he has personally asked the old chief to fight several times. ”

The old leader that Chu Tianming said was naturally Zhang Yunfei, and Zhang Yunfei's old subordinates in the 36th Group Army in the past privately called Zhang Yunfei the old chief.

Hearing this, Wang Haiyang remembered Liao Yaoxiang jumping up and down, so anxious that he couldn't do it, and Wang Haiyang laughed again.

Wang Haiyang thought that he could enter the North African battlefield as the vanguard force, I don't know how many people were red-eyed, thinking about this, Wang Haiyang felt deeply proud, he was the first to enter the North African battlefield, that was the old chief appreciated himself.

Next, Wang Haiyang and Chu Tianming exchanged a few more words, and then, one by one, shook hands with the high-level leaders of the 6th Group Army and the 1st Group Army, and finally everyone left the dock by car.

The 6th Army began to land in batches at this small seaport, and it took a week for the 6th Army to reach here one after another, and the landing here was completed one after another.

During the landing of the 6th Army, the main forces of the 1st Army marched dozens of kilometers north, approaching a small city where the Germans were stationed.

This small city called Gary, the entrance is only tens of thousands, but it is less than ten kilometers from the mouth of the Suez Canal, the small city of Gary is bordering the Red Sea, it is a small seaside town, but the small city has been controlled by the German army.

There were already two or three thousand German troops in the small city, and the German troops defending the city saw that the Chinese army was besieging the city on a large scale, and many German troops stationed in Suez immediately reinforced Gary.

At present, there are nearly 20,000 German troops in Gary, dozens of tanks, and two or three hundred large and small artillery pieces, in addition, the German army knows that the Chinese army has a large number of combat vehicles, and these defending German troops have also deployed a large number of 37 mm and 50 mm battle defense guns, in addition, more than a dozen 88 mm anti-aircraft guns have been deployed.

The German anti-aircraft artillery is the main anti-tank weapon, and the German army is equipped with more than 100 anti-tank guns, in addition, the 88-mm anti-aircraft gun also has excellent anti-tank capabilities.

After the main forces of the 1st Army approached the small town of Gary, they did not rush to attack, but first carried out careful reconnaissance, and several reconnaissance planes reconnoitred over Gary every day.

After several days of reconnaissance, the basic situation has been clarified, and the Germans have not sent any more reinforcements, and Gary's German army has remained at nearly 20,000 in the past few days.

The German army in the whole of North Africa was only about 100,000, and it was basically a strategic balance with the Anglo-American coalition forces, and no one could help anyone.

With the arrival of the Chinese army, a few days ago, the German army was heavily damaged by the Chinese army, and the German army knew that the Chinese army was going to attack Gary in a big way, and the target might be the Suez Canal, but the German army really couldn't draw any troops.

The rest of the Italian army, the German army, had been completely pinned down by the Allies in North Africa and could no longer reinforce the small city of Gary.

Not only could they not be reinforced, but the rest of the German army even felt precarious, with the last time a large number of tanks were destroyed by the Chinese army, and the entire two elite infantry divisions were surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese army, the German army in North Africa felt that its strength had been weakened by increasing and weakening.

Originally, seeing that the Chinese army had been standing still after reaching the periphery of Gary, Rommel wanted to send a force to secretly attack the 1st Army, but later, Rommel found that he really couldn't draw any troops.

Rommel found that he could at most send a force of a few thousand people to a sneak attack, but what was the use of such a force of a few thousand people, on the outskirts of Gary City was the main force of the 1st Army, more than 40,000 troops, and if you wanted to sneak attack, you needed at least one or two hundred thousand troops.

Without troops, Rommel could only sigh, thinking in his heart that after the arrival of the Chinese army, it may be the last straw that crushed him, and the strategic balance in North Africa was completely broken, even as one of the three great generals of the German army, Rommel was somewhat pessimistic.

The 1st Army encircling Gary, after careful reconnaissance and calm preparations, launched an attack after five full days of encircling Gary.

By this time, the 6th Army had already landed in Sefaj in batches.

On April 8, it was just dawn.

On several artillery positions of the 1st Group Army, heavy artillery pieces have faded from camouflage nets, and the thick muzzles are aimed at the distance, and many soldiers are busy on the positions.

Today, the 1st Army officially began its offensive against the German troops stationed in Gary, first of all, it would be a heavy artillery bombardment, the use of heavy artillery to destroy the German perimeter defenses.

The German troops stationed in Gary were well equipped, but the situation of the German army had long been clearly detected, even the heavy artillery group of the German army.

The German troops stationed in Gary numbered nearly 20,000 and were equipped with 70 or 80 heavy artillery pieces of caliber of more than 100 mm, and built a huge heavy artillery group position, and according to the battle plan, the 1st Army would destroy this German heavy artillery group in the first time.
