Chapter 252: The Battle of Snow Shame

Eisenhower, commander-in-chief of the multinational forces, did not see even a glimmer of hope for victory after the desert campaign. He felt that the Allied offensive was becoming more and more fierce and full of stamina.

Neither the tanks nor the planes of the Allies have been reduced in the slightest. The two air cavalry divisions in the Han Coastal Army, which were mainly white soldiers, had at least hundreds of helicopters shot down, but every attack wave was still overwhelming.

"How many helicopters do they have in their arsenal?" There had already been some slight shakes in Eisenhower's self-confidence. How strong is the military industrial strength of the Han army? It won't be stronger than the United States, right? If that's really the case, then who will be dragged down in this war of attrition?

……

"Adolf will launch a campaign against Moscow at the beginning of May, and he asks us to cooperate in the Far East and carry out strategic bombing of the Soviet heavy industrial areas in Siberia in order to destroy the military-industrial system of Lao Maozi!"

In the Wei Qing Pavilion, His Majesty lifted the lid of the teacup, "What about everyone's opinion?" ”

Today's Wei Qingge generals shine brightly, and after the war, they will command their own troops, and the generals from all sides of the sky are rarely gathered together.

The two governors of Dongying and Nanyang came back to report on their work, Wang Yizhehe in northern Vietnam ended the April Fool's Day operation, Jiang Yunzhi, who captured Cairo, was ordered to return to China, and even Ye Weixun, Chen Shukang and others in Harbin were also called to fly back to Chang'an.

The commanders of the major war zones, only Hans and Xiao Guoxing, who were fighting with Eisenhower in the desert, did not return.

Look at this plane, if Your Majesty adjusts the troops and commanders in the theater.

Sure enough, the first adjustment and appointment was heavyweight, and Quanguo Lin went out of the mountain again to replace Wang Yizhe as commander of the Central and Southern Front Army. Wang Yizhe was transferred to the command of the newly formed South African Front, responsible for fighting in the British and French colonies in southern Africa and west.

On the one hand, this appointment was due to the fact that Wang Yizhe's war in Vietnam was unfavorable and the progress was slow, and His Majesty was determined to let the whole loudspeaker clean up the chaotic situation in the Indochina Peninsula. Thinking about the big heel planted by the United States in Vietnam in the previous life, His Majesty still did not despise the fighting power of the Vietnamese monkey at all.

On the other hand, it was His Majesty's decision to completely shake the foundations of Britain's reliance on colonial blood transfusions to sustain the war. Now that the Northern Fleet has entered the Mediterranean, the loss of Egypt, the Middle East, and especially India, the blow to Britain is quite fatal, and cutting off the resources of South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, and other places will undoubtedly make Britain even worse.

Of course, this did not force Britain to surrender, and Britain, which had secured the English Channel defense line after receiving American aid, could not surrender because of the loss of its colonies.

The reinforced Northern Fleet was fighting the American and British fleets in the Mediterranean, and the victory in the Egyptian campaign forced the C Fleet to abandon its traditional home port of Alexandria in favor of Malta and Tripoli, Libya.

In the next step of the battle plan, the combat goal of the Northern Fleet was to break through the Strait of Gibraltar and burn the war to the British Isles.

Unfortunately, the mustache was not cooperative, after the German army survived the harsh winter, its supplies and equipment were greatly replenished, the addition of Romanian, Hungarian, Finnish and other armies, especially Turkey's promise to join the Iron Alliance, made the mustache's ambition swell again, conquer the Soviet Union, surpass Napoleon, and achieve the great honor of being the first man in Europe, which stimulated him to forget the more dangerous opponent across the strait behind him.

This strong desire could not change his mind even if the Han Emperor consulted with him several times.

With the advent of the Leopard tank with the Me-283 Yellow Rose and the He-117 Black Knight, the Germans became much less dependent on imported Phantoms and Siberian tigers.

How can a real hero be willing to be subservient, in the mustache's mind, the hatred of the more powerful Han Emperor is not much less than that of Roosevelt!

"Only the Aryans are the noblest race!" It was only the situation of the war that made Germany inseparable from the Han as an ally.

Of course, Zhong Yi also understands this truth, the so-called heroes cherish each other, the emperors exclude each other, boss! Of course there is only one.

Fortunately, the German-Italian Legion in Africa commanded by Rommel was quite cooperative, and at least half of the credit for the capture of Cairo should be credited to Rommel.

Because of Churchill's policy of allowing Indian soldiers to become British citizens, the Asans in the British army were even more courageous than in previous battles, and for hundreds of years, they had always regarded the British as their masters, and now they have the opportunity to join the British nationality, and they can also become "masters".

This policy provoked a great reaction in Britain, with many MPs opposing it, but Churchill forced it through with the support of military generals. The battle has been fought like this, what's the use of still holding on to the false name of the boss who never sets?

As for the post-war approval rating...... Won the war, let's talk about it!

In his previous life, Churchill won the war but lost the prime minister. In this lifetime...... He didn't know if he had a chance to win.

In the Battle of Cairo, although tens of thousands of Indian soldiers fought bravely, the British Eighth Army, which had lost its air superiority, still could not withstand the tide of Allied offensives.

Xiao Guoxing commanded the main force of the Guards Corps to cross the Suez Canal and encircle the British 10th Army by the Nile, while Rommel's German 15th and 21st Panzer Divisions crossed the river overnight in the south and captured the military town of Giza, which was across from Cairo, cutting off the British army's retreat.

When the Guards forced the British 10th Army to surrender and capture the historic city of Cairo, the German-Italian Afrika Korps acted as the vanguard of the Allies, driving the British Eighth Army under Brooke's command out of Egypt.

With the help of the American troops, Field Marshal Brooke escaped and retreated to the area around the Gulf of Sirte.

However, the impact of Egypt's loss on the African battlefield was enormous. The flanks of the American forces confronting the Han in the vicinity of Hummat and Karanshu were exposed, and Eisenhower had to lead the multinational forces to continue their westward retreat to avoid being flanked by the Allies.

The situation in the Mediterranean was made even more difficult by the unfavorable operations of the multinational forces in Africa, and Churchill was quite unhappy with the loss of Egypt and Alexandria. The loss of the Suez Canal and the Turkish alliance to join the Iron Alliance under the threat of the Han army caused Britain to lose all of its Far Eastern territories. Now, even the Persian oil fields are controlled by the Han army, and Britain will have to rely more on American aid, which makes Churchill's heart very uncomfortable!

Iran, which was originally pro-German, frequently showed favor to the Han after the southern fleet of the Han army was stationed in the Persian Gulf, and the signs of joining the Central Powers became more and more obvious.

Even New Zealand, which is far away in the South Pacific, finally did not resist the pressure of the Han State and announced its withdrawal from the British Commonwealth and joined the Greater China Alliance, becoming the eighth Grand Alliance country. The New Zealand Legion had landed at Port Elizabeth, South Africa, following the Xuzhou Legion of the Han State, officially declaring war on the Allies.

"Could it be that the end of the empire on which the sun never sets is really coming...... No, the glory of the British Empire must not be lost in my hands! The hardened Churchill did not intend to admit defeat, and the British First Army, the Second Armored Division, the Dragoon Regiment and other indigenous units were sent to Africa one after another to strengthen the strength of the multinational force.

The Germans were in Smolensk, fighting with the Soviet Red Army. The armies of the two countries, both replenished and strengthened during the winter, repeatedly fought in the ruins of Smolenk.

At the beginning of the Barbarossa plan, the Soviet army, which had lost millions of troops, relied on the efficiency of the Soviet government to mobilize more troops. Mustache also had to transfer more elite divisions from the Western Front to the Soviet Union to fulfill his dream of surpassing Napoleon.

The British home defense forces deployed along the English Channel were able to liberate themselves in large numbers, and they were immediately sent to Africa by boat. India is gone, the Middle East is gone, Egypt is gone! Gibraltar can't afford to miss a lapse again! It was the last line of defense outside the British Empire itself!

Eisenhower also realized that he could not go back! Once retreated to Tunisia, the multinational force would be in total passivity in Africa. Because of his too young qualifications, he lacks prestige in the multinational force, and if he can't quickly restore the situation in the North African battlefield, this post of commander-in-chief must not be very stable!

"We need a victory to curb the arrogance of the fascist army!" Faced with Bradley, his classmate and chief of staff, Eisenhower did not hide his concerns.

"Jufra is a good battlefield, the complex terrain around Seb'a Mountain can bring a lot of trouble to the Han army's helicopter troops, and offset part of their combat effectiveness!" Bradley is second only to Eisenhower among the young generals of the U.S. Army, and his eyesight is certainly good! At the same time, it was also because of the two air cavalry divisions of the Coast Corps that he was too impressed, and in the Battle of Kufra, the tanks destroyed by helicopters exceeded more than half of the total losses, and there were even cases where American armored soldiers jumped out of the tanks when they heard the sound of helicopters to prevent being killed in the "living coffin".

Eisenhower's proposal was approved by the chief of staff, and the province of Jufra was located in the middle of Libya, and further west to Algeria and Tunisia, where the multinational force would set foot on the African battlefield, and if it were to withdraw there, it would mean months of fighting, and the multinational force would stand still.

"It's Jufra, this time, we're not going to take a step back!" The Commander-in-Chief of the Multinational Force slammed his fist on the map! On the map that Eisenhower crumpled, two large blue arrows stand out, representing the African Front of the Grand Alliance under the command of General Hans and the Royal Guards under the command of Lieutenant General Xiao Guoxing. If you look closely, you can see a slightly smaller blue arrow on the map, which is the route of the German-Italian Afrika Korps under the command of German General Rommel, and their direction is Benghazi.

In the first Battle of Benghazi, Rommel lost a good game because of logistical supply problems! This time, old rival Montgomery has been transferred back to the British mainland, and the German-Italian Afrika Korps has also been greatly replenished, solving the supply problem. The installation of more than 1,000 Siberian Tiger tanks gave Rommel the confidence to get up wherever he fell!

In the second Battle of Benghazi, the Desert Fox must be disgraced.
