This afternoon, Lin Youde was directly stunned.

He looked at the red arrows on the map representing the British attack, and felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

"What do you mean by the British?" Lin Youde couldn't help but ask his staff officer, and the staff officer could only shrug his shoulders and say that he didn't know.

Lin Youde continued to complain himself: "The Indian Ninth Brigade that was chased and beaten by the Turks is here, if the British want to save the remaining troops of the Ninth Brigade, then they should be here to respond, or they can attack the flank of the Turks from this position and force the Turks to stop pursuing." ”

Then Lin Youde pointed to the place where the western foot of Sinai Mountain meets the desolate plains of the Sinai Peninsula: "But they appeared here, and this can't help the Indian brigade that was chased and beaten by the Turks, right?" ”

"yes, it's weird."

"Could it be that they didn't even know that the Indian brigade had come to our defense zone?"

A staff officer's opinion made Lin Youde raise his eyebrows slightly, and he held his chin and pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Very likely." ”

In fact, the fact that the troops got lost in North Africa happened in another time and space, and on both sides. After all, there are too few places in North Africa that can be used as landmarks to identify locations, and then there is a long distance between strongholds, and many places with so-called roads actually don't matter whether they are roads or not, so even if you follow the road all the time, you may accidentally drive out of the road and run all the way in the wilderness, and the driver may not feel it yet......

One of the most famous of all these lost incidents was the loss of a German reconnaissance unit, which got lost all the way to the heart of the British army, and then captured O'Connor, one of the top commanders of the British army at the time. O'CONNOR, WHO HAD BEEN INSPECTING UNGUARDED, WAS PROBABLY OVERWHELMED WHEN HE SAW THE DESERT LORD WHO SUDDENLY JUMPED OUT OF THE YELLOW SAND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD—OH NO, THE GERMAN IN DESERT CAMOUFLAGE.

So Lin Youde was not so surprised that the Indian brigade got lost to his side. Moreover, the soldiers in that unit are Indians after all, even though they are Indians led by the British, what can you expect from this guy in another time and space who was killed by a cooking squad of the Chinese army to kill an entire combat unit? It doesn't matter who else is the leader, the three will only bring the leader into their own rhythm.

Of course, there are still Indian troops who can fight, but everyone understands the level of the general Indian troops, and the British did not regard the Indian soldiers as the main force.

If it was true that the Indian brigade had not reported its position in the confusion, then the British would have thought that the brigade had been attacked in his original defense area, and the frequent sorties of the Allied air force just now, and the frenzy of telecommunications triggered by Lin Youde when he thought that the enemy had outflanked his rear, would have made the British suspect that the Allied forces had made some major moves—the explosion of radio wave communications in the area controlled by an army was usually accompanied by a large-scale movement of troops.

The British, who had been at war for so long, must have been well aware of the superiority of the German army in telecommunications, and it was impossible for them not to listen to the German telecommunications.

Lin Youde can imagine how stern the British commander's expression was when the British listening stations reported to their commanders that they were overhearing the surge in telecommunications.

"So the enemy thought that we had outflanked their back road, so they punched our side, trying to shake our outflanking plan from the root......" Lin Youde smacked his lips, "These days, I have been running around on the front to survey the terrain, just to make a foolproof plan to attack you, but now you punch me in the face first, or for a funny reason." I can guarantee that in the future, what is happening now will become the number one funny anecdote in military history, talked about by countless military enthusiasts. ”

Lin Youde's words made the staff officers in the headquarters laugh, and at this time, someone asked Lin Youde in German with a strong accent: "So how should we deal with this situation?" ”

As soon as Lin Youde heard this accent, he knew that the speaker was Arielle? Salon.

"Of course we're going to take advantage of the situation, Lieutenant Sharon. In war, the importance of improvisation is almost equal to the importance of having a well-thought-out operational plan, lieutenant. There are even times when improvisation is more important than planning. Lin Youde casually picked up the magnetic troop plate placed next to the map, pasted a placard representing the armored division next to the British attack sign, and then removed the placard representing the 15th Armored Division in the south.

"I want the 15th Panzer Division to set off immediately and launch a counter-assault on the British troops attacking our army."

Then Lin Youde picked up the armor card deployed in the 3rd Battle Ji Brigade in Metz and put it together with the 15th Armored Division.

"The 3rd Zhan Ji Brigade will support the counterattack of the 15th Armored Division."

"Then I want the 10th and 12th Panzer Chasseur Divisions to also start moving in this direction, ready to meet the 15th Panzer Division. The 90th Light Division sent armored reconnaissance teams in the direction of Hasana, leaving aside the British strongholds on the road, bypassing them, inserting into the rear of the British, and seeing what the hell they were up to. The Air Force also immediately adjusted its flight plan, ended the attack on the scattered Indians, and went all out to deal with the possible British air raids. ”

Lin Youde gave the order in one breath, and suddenly felt very refreshed. Regardless of whether you can win or not for the time being, it's really cool to count the number of troops and give orders or something.

Lin Youde felt that he was a little in love with this feeling of giving orders, which was much more energetic than approving the strategic plans drawn up by the staff officers in the rear, after all, in those strategic plans, the organization and movement of specific troops did not have anything to do with Lin Youde, and the campaign clusters he transferred at that level were all such campaign clusters as "group army groups", and now there are only five such campaign clusters in the German army -- this has already been counted plus the one that Lin Youde is now commanding himself.

"Cool." Lin Youde whispered in his heart, but he immediately suppressed his excitement and prepared to deal seriously with this sudden battle.
