Chapter 716: A Tooth for a Tooth

Looking at these scrap copper and rotten iron, Rommel couldn't help but secretly complain, "Even if there is no Panther, it would be good to give me some captured T-34s." Of course, he knew that this was impossible, although now Germany has seized the control of the Black Sea, but the shortage of transport ships has always been a long-standing problem, and it is already very difficult to ensure logistics and supplies, where is the spare power to transport tanks to Rommel?

Compared with tanks, the Afrika Korps soldiers have a bigger problem, for the 30,000 German troops, Rommel still trusts them very much, although they were originally only second-line troops, but they are much stronger than the troops of the "Iberian Twin Bears" and "Spaghetti", and although the armies of Spain and Portugal and Italy are worse, at least they are better than no soldiers, and Rommel can only take these rabble to rescue Morocco

The reason for this situation is not that the mustache does not pay attention to the African battlefield, but it is that Germany is now short of troops, as Roosevelt said in his speech to Congress, no matter how badly the Soviet Union lost, as long as they were still fighting Nazi Germany, they could help the United States contain at least a few million Axis troops

Although the troops are still very rubbish for the time being, Rommel's keen battlefield insight has not diminished, and when he first arrived in the North African theater, he saw that the US army was eager to rescue the encircled 2nd Army and the disjointed loophole, although the gap was very small and small, but he decisively led the armored troops to quickly and accurately cut in, and divided the main force of the US army of nearly 200,000 people into two, so that Eisenhower not only failed to rescue Patton's 2nd Army, but another army fell into the enemy's encirclement

At the same time as joining hands with the UAE army to encircle a large number of American troops. Rommel's Afrika Korps naturally fell into the flanking attack of the American army, but at this time, he showed no less appeal than Patton, and he simply inspired his rabble to withstand the onslaught launched by the American army from two directions, although the time was less than 2 days, but it had bought enough time for Klim's army to outflank it

When Krim's more than 700,000 troops were all outflanked in place, there was no suspense about the outcome of the battle, and the 2nd Army of the two armies surrounded by the US army was almost out of ammunition and food, and Kerim at this time pushed the artillery units that had not been used to the front line, which was completely unexpected by the US army, and the breakout operation launched by Patton personally led the army in thousands of artillery pieces and large-caliber mortars (and the shells were also equipped with proximity fuses. Bomb the infantry thieves ruthlessly. Collapsed under the indiscriminate bombardment. He himself was lucky not to die, but he was also seriously injured and fell into a coma, which put the 2nd Army into a leaderless situation, and saw that there was no hope. One of the highest-ranking officers among the remaining officers sighed and gave the order to surrender to the enemy. Although he knew that he would never be forgiven by Barton for doing so. But he can't watch more than 30,000 brothers who have done their best die in vain

Although the other army did not receive such special care, the siege of hundreds of thousands of Arab League troops and Rommel Afrika Korps still made it difficult for them to resist, and their main general was not an iron-blooded general like Patton. There was no ability to maintain the morale of the troops in such a desperate situation, the supply line was cut off and the army was already panicking, and the fierce fighting in the next few days caused a lot of losses, and the ammunition reserves were depleted rapidly, and everyone finally could not hold on any longer, and finally the remnants of the army of more than 70,000 people all laid down their arms and surrendered to Krim. Although Westerners preferred to surrender to Rommel rather than to Klim out of pride, the German concentration camps, which were no longer secret, kept them away, but the Americans soon discovered that surrendering to Krem might not necessarily be the right decision

"How?" , Krim asked the military doctor with a cold face.

"The injury is very serious, but he can't die, do you want to wake him up?" The military doctor replied respectfully, the admiration in his eyes was more than ever, under the leadership of this great emir, the Berbers and Arabs who had been oppressed and enslaved by the Westerners in the past had completely stood up, and so far Klim had led the army to wipe out no less than a million Western troops, which was like a dream for those of them who had experienced the colonial period.

Under the stimulation of the military doctor, Patton, who was like a dead corpse, finally moved, and soon opened his eyes weakly, and saw that there was a white hat in front of him, and he realized that he had been captured, and he was unwilling to become a prisoner, and he subconsciously wanted to touch the gun, but found that he had been trapped tightly, unable to move at all, and could only stare angrily at the "Grim Reaper" (nickname given to Klim by the Western media) Krim, who had been read in the newspaper and still remembered his appearance

Krim glanced at Barton with a look of resentment mixed with contempt, and asked coldly, "You gave the order to massacre civilians?" ”

Although he did not regret it, the massacre of civilians was not a good thing after all, even if Patton did not want to weaken his momentum, he still defended himself, "It was your guerrillas who attacked my troops in disguise as civilians first, and as the commander of an army, I must ensure the safety of my subordinates." ”

Hearing this, Kerim became more and more disdainful, sneered and got up from his seat and said, "Sure enough, you Westerners always have a point, but I don't want to reason with you, I just want to punish you for your sins."

"Isn't it just death?" Barton twisted his head and said fearlessly.

"Dead? That's too cheap for you. Krim's answer revealed deep hatred, "The most painful thing on Shijie is never death, but watching the person you value the most be killed, but being powerless to save yourself." Thou hast slain the people I love the most, and I will now slay thy most cherished men, and thou shalt live forever in pain and self-reproach."

"No, you can't do that, they are innocent, they are just acting on orders, and the person you should kill is me who gave the order!" Barton exclaimed, widening his eyes.

"Innocent? Can they be more innocent than the civilians they killed, especially the women and children? Krim shouted angrily, then waved his hand and motioned for the guards to drag Barton out.

As he watched as tens of thousands of his men were driven into large pits by machine guns, Patton's anger exacerbated his injuries and caused him to fall unconscious again, but Kerim quickly had the medic wake him up and continue watching. When all the more than 30,000 people were buried alive, Kerim released Barton back. Barton has become a walking corpse that seems to have been devoured by his soul, and all that remains in his heart is the poisonous snake named "Hate" (to be continued......
