Chapter 370: El Alamein Airport

Bow and thank you for the precious commuter pass!

PS: It's still a chapter today, but it's a big chapter of more than 6,000 words, and Xiaomo got up this morning and coded it out. At noon, the family had a reunion dinner, and it was estimated that there was no wine to drink, so everyone didn't have to wait.

The road ahead is long and difficult, for this, Chen Mo has no doubt, even if the Bad Boy Legion has now become the most popular new legion in this space, many of the top 30 ranked legions are very interested in the Bad Boy Legion, but Chen Mo and his friends still dare not relax in the slightest, the more they understand some things they didn't know before, the more Chen Mo knows how difficult the battle will be in a year and a half.

Back then, the two great celestials of Bloody Soul Burial and Aston Gang were all represented by the rank of lieutenant colonel to participate in the battle on behalf of the space, although the lieutenant colonel with seven skills is not rare now, but at that time it was almost an invincible existence, coupled with the bonus of the welfare of seeded players, it is not surprising that the Hongmeng Legion of that year could develop into a super legion in a short period of time.

But even so, the two great Tianzun of Hongmeng still did not win, and now they have become a migrant worker, living by working for others. In this case, Chen Mo would never allow it to happen to the Bad Boy Army, so after deeply analyzing the reasons for the bloody soul burial and the failure of Aston, Chen Mo decided to take another path.

That is, it is not the way of taking the path of a large-scale army like the Hongmeng Legion back then, but the opposite. Take a high-tech path.

The reason why the Hongmeng Legion became a super group back then was also directly related to the development strategy of the Blood Weeping Soul Burial and Aston Gang, in order to find better teammates in the space battle, the two Tianzun adopted the strategy of casting a wide net and fishing deep, and looking for teammates who could match their combat effectiveness in the huge population base of the Hongmeng Legion, so that the Blood Weeping Soul Burial and Aston were just busy developing the Hongmeng Legion, and the Hongmeng Legion was just as the two of them thought, In a very short period of time, they became a super legion, but before the battle, they found that there were few brothers who could achieve the kind of combat power that the two of them expected! So much so that Bloody Soul Burial and Aston just in order to protect the brothers. You can only go to other dimensions alone to fight.

A lot of the time. Spreading out your efforts is often the result of doing more with less! The bloody soul burial and Aston Gang's previous rut, Chen Mo didn't want to go through it again, Chen Mo wanted to find another way. Take a completely different path from the two predecessors.

Chen Mo calculated. With the addition of the current two seeded player qualification benefits. As long as the fifteen members of the Bad Boy Legion are steady, they should be able to raise all the members of the Bad Boy Legion to the rank of colonel after a year and a half, which doesn't seem like a long time. But Chen Mo has a trump card in his hand, that is, the tenfold bonus of the winning streak, as long as he ensures that the winning streak of the Bad Boy Legion is not broken, then even if the rank of colonel with eight skills is extremely difficult to rise, Chen Mo is sure to do this, Chen Mo himself even has an ambition to impact the legendary general rank, after all, his starting point is one level higher than the average person, and the rank of the system is not rewarded in vain, with this innate advantage in hand, the rank of general is probably not impossible.

As long as a year and a half later, all the members of the Bad Boy Legion can reach the rank of colonel, have eight skills, and with the well-built self-built tank, they will not be left behind in space battles.

Back then, Bloody Soul Burial and Aston Gang were able to win three battles with the temporary combination of other space seed players, and if they were replaced by a team of bad boys with tacit understanding and higher skills, what would be the result? Chen Mo didn't know, but Chen Mo was sure that it would definitely be much better than the results of the Blood Weeping Soul Burial and Aston Gang back then!

Not to mention a complete victory, even if it is a victory to win eight maps, at least it can be regarded as completing the task given by the space, of course, if one is not careful, all sixteen maps in the territory war will be taken, hehe

Ideas are ideas, and since you have a goal, you have to put it into practice. Therefore, there was no delay, Chen Mo led his army of bad boys and once again rushed into the battlefield without hesitation!

After having all kinds of ideas and a definite goal, Chen Mo's Bad Boy Legion increased a little speed in the battle, no longer fighting six battles for four hours a day, but increasing this number to ten battles a day, so that it is not easy to overwork his teammates, but also to summarize the experience of each battle, so that the overall strength of the Bad Boy Legion grows rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Two days later, when Chen Mo and his teammates stood on the battlefield waiting for the thirty-second countdown to be loaded on the map, Chen Mo's heart was full of anticipation, and he wanted to see if there were any other rewards in the space after this battle!

Because this battle was the hundredth official battle after Chen Mo entered the space! When the first thirty consecutive wins and sixty consecutive victories were given, the system gave a second-level hidden medal and a first-level hidden medal respectively, originally Chen Mo thought that when it came to ninety consecutive wins, he would give Chen Mo a new reward, but he didn't even have a fart, so Chen Mo aimed at a hundred consecutive wins!

Chen Mo has played this map countless times in real-world games, but this is the first time he has encountered this map in space.

It's also a desert map, but it's a lot more complicated than it used to be, and it's a bit flatter than Eri Haroff.

It's a kilometer by kilometer map, and it's also a map close to the coastline. At the far south of the map, the entire K-line is covered with clear blue waters, while at the northernmost end of the map, a tall mountain range runs through the east and west of the map, filling the A and B lines. Between the mountains to the north and the ocean to the south, there is a desert of yellow sand, densely populated with small stony peaks.

The east and west ends of the map, where the bases of both sides are located. There are two small villages in each, all of which are civil and wooden houses characteristic of desert areas, and between the two villages is a desert plateau surrounded by five or six small peaks. On the north side of this desert plateau, in the middle of the map, is a series of stony peaks, between which are filled with desert and small canyons.

And between the tall mountain range in the north of the map and the small plateau formed by a series of small peaks in the middle of the map, there is an unusually conspicuous field airfield! This airport is where the name of the map comes from - El Alamein Airport!

When it comes to El Alamein Airport, anyone who knows anything about the history of World War II will immediately think of a famous battle. That was the Battle of El Alamein, which took place in North Africa.

In World War II in real-world history. The Battle of El Alamein, along with the contemporaneous Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Guadalcanal, is known as the beginning of the strategic counteroffensive phase of the Allies.

The Battle of El Alamein, the Axis commander Erwin El Alamein, was the North African theater of World War II. The African Panzer Corps commanded by Rommel versus the British Bernard? The Battle of the Commonwealth Army under General Montgomery at El Alamein, Egypt. The war ended with the victory of the British-led Allied forces.

The victory in this battle turned the tide of the North African theater. The Allied victory at El Alamein dashed Nazi Germany's hopes of occupying Egypt and controlling the Suez Canal and the oil fields of the Middle East. This campaign ended the offensive of the African Panzer Corps. After this battle, the Axis powers switched to a strategic retreat operation in the North African theater.

When it comes to the Battle of El Alamein, we have to mention the two famous commanders during World War II, Rommel and Montgomery! A twelve-day battle of El Alamein. It became the Waterloo of Rommel, the commander of the German North African Army who was known as the "Desert Fox", and at the same time, it also achieved another famous general, the famous British general Bernard Rommel. Montgomery's splendor.

In June 1942, Rommel the 'Desert Fox' launched a fierce attack on the British troops stationed in North Africa in accordance with the orders of the German Führer Hitler. Matroux retreated to the El Alamein Line. The El Alamein Line is a 40-kilometer-long line located between the city of El Alamein on the Mediterranean coast of northern Egypt and the Katara depression in the south.

At the beginning of July, the Germans had approached the El Alamein Line, which was only 160 kilometers from Alexandria. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill could not sit still. He knew very well that if the Germans broke through the El Alamein Line, rushed into Egypt, and occupied the Suez Canal, Italian and German ships would be able to freely enter and exit the Red Sea, and then control the South African front and infiltrate into the Indian Ocean. In this way, Nazi Germany's plan to join forces with Japan would become a reality. Therefore, Churchill ordered Auchinleck to defend the El Alamein Line. However, the British general, who had been frightened by Rommel, had lost his prestige in the army.

In desperation, Churchill decided to appoint a new commander of the British army in North Africa, hoping to boost morale. On 4 August, despite the danger of being shot down by enemy planes, he personally flew to Cairo and immediately convened a high-level military council to relieve Auchinleck of command and ordered the highly successful General Goth to take over as commander of the 8th Army Corps. Goth was ordered to rush to the North African front with great ambitions. Unfortunately, on the way to Cairo, Goth's plane was intercepted by enemy planes and crashed in the Mediterranean, killing people. Churchill had to re-select a commander who could compete with Rommel. After much deliberation, Churchill set his sights on Lieutenant General Montgomery, who had begun to emerge in World War I. In this way, due to the unexpected death of Goth, Montgomery was appointed commander of the Battle of El Alamein. It was with this battle that Montgomery began his most illustrious military career.

After the ambitious Montgomery came to the front-line battlefield, he immediately encountered the attack of more than 200 tanks organized by Rommel, but Montgomery was not incompetent, and used the British Royal Air Force to bombard Rommel's tank corps, causing Rommel to suffer heavy losses, and the war situation once fell into a stalemate.

It was not until October 23, 1942 that Montgomery, who had gathered heavy troops, launched the 'Light Foot Plan' and began to attack the German troops in front of the El Alamein Line, and after several days of fighting, the Germans were left with less than 90 tanks and armored vehicles, while Montgomery still had more than 800 tanks in his hands. Even the acting commander-in-chief of the German front, Georg? Stim was almost captured by the British and died of a heart attack while fleeing. On October 25, Rommel, who was on vacation in Germany, received a report and hurried back to the El Alamein front. And immediately organize troops to defend with all their might.

On 1 November, a desperate Rommel concentrated his few remaining tanks and armored vehicles and launched a frantic counterattack against the British, triggering one of the most brutal desert tank battles of the Battle of El Alamein. The clever Montgomery sent the RAF to help, inflicting heavy casualties on the Germans, repulsing the German counterattack and forcing Rommel, who had less than thirty tanks left, to retreat westward.

Thus, the brutal but strategically turning Battle of El Alamein ended with Montgomery's victory.

The map of El Alamein Airport in front of me is a scene from this brutal desert tank battle.

The map of El Alamein Airport has been played countless times in real-world games. I also know this map very well.

In general. The map of El Alamein Airport is very complex, and the mountains that can be seen everywhere have become natural shelters for tanks, and the small canyon between the many peaks has become a good place for tanks on both sides to enter and exit at will, and even black guns at will.

On the surface, it seems that self-propelled guns can make a lot of use on this map. But in fact, Chen Mo is very clear. Self-propelled guns fight on this map. The ones that can be attacked are some inconsequential positions, many key positions, because of the ups and downs of the terrain or the villages with many mountain peaks. It's hard to make a difference with SPGs, so there's really not a lot of support that SPGs can provide when fighting on this map.

Anti-tank plays a good role in this map, and the numerous black gun slots can fully exert the great power of anti-tank. As for the medium and light tanks, fighting on this map is more about reconnaissance and involvement, because of the existence of numerous mountain peaks, so that the whole map does not look like a desert map, but more like a town map when the tank is really fighting.

Therefore, the role of the heavy tank has been amplified a lot in this map, and the card positions and resistance lines in many key positions, and even breakthroughs, must be done by heavy tanks, so the task of the heavy tank in this map is the most arduous.

This map can be generally divided into three lines, the upper road, that is, the northern line, is the line of the most fierce tank fighting between the two sides, this line basically includes the airport runway that almost runs from east to west, and the three lines of D\E\F on the south side of the runway, these three lines are the mountain range composed of a series of mountain peaks in the middle of the map, and the starting point of this mountain range is the base of both sides of the enemy.

There are many small peaks in this upper road mountain range, making this a paradise for heavy tanks, and as for the east and west ends of the mountain range, because of the existence of small peaks, there are many excellent black gun points that can be used for anti-tank black guns, so once the war starts, the enemy and the enemy will fight to the death around this mountain range.

It is precisely because of this that this mountain range has become a route that both sides must control, and whoever can break through this mountain range is basically equivalent to winning the battle.

As for the middle road, which is the south side of the upper road mountain range, is the central highlands in the middle of the G/H line. The highlands are surrounded by a ring of small peaks, and the elevation is almost the same as that of the upper road range. However, unlike the dense peaks of the Upper Road Range, the central highlands are relatively gentle except for the surrounding small peaks. However, in the heart of the Central Highlands, there is a dilapidated structure that resembles an ancient altar buried in yellow sand, and this building is large, and what is left out of the yellow sand is only a few white steps and a building composed of several white columns.

The history of these buildings should be very long, just from the remnants of these buildings left out of the yellow sand, you can imagine the glory of this huge building at the beginning, but under the merciless passage of time, this once incomparably brilliant building is now about to be buried by the yellow sand.

This left building can actually be a good cover for the medium, at least the medium tank that enters this building, unless it is directly facing the enemy tank that also enters the building, otherwise, it is difficult for the opposing artillery and anti-tank to hit.

This central highland is also the enemy and the enemy of the middle and light Tan must control, because as long as the central highland is controlled, then you can directly face the base of the enemy and us, but because of the terrain of the central highland and the lack of cover above, there is no heavy tank or anti-Tan willing to go to the central highland, the central highland is destined to be the battle place of the middle and light tank.

As for the lower road, it is actually a coastal path located on the J line. At high tide, the sea can even submerge the trail. The trail that goes down is close to the south side of the Central Highlands, with the vast sea on one side and the cliffs tens of meters high on the other.

Due to the terrain restrictions, this road has become an easy and difficult route to attack, and usually, as long as there is a heavy tank or anti-tank that can resist at the end of the east and west ends of the lower road under the central high ground. It would be enough to block the path.

Of course. That means that under normal circumstances, if the enemy arranges more than three heavy tanks or anti-tank waves on the lower road, it will still be very dangerous to go down. Similarly, join Chen Mo in arranging all the heavy and anti-Tan waves in the lower road. The same can be broken directly. The lower path is for both the enemy and the enemy. The opportunities are equal.

So. In the lower lane, whether attacking or defending, it is best to rely on the Central Highlands, because the only way to control the Central Highlands is to control them. Then reconnaissance from the central heights made it possible to thoroughly figure out the deployment of enemy tanks on the opposite side of the path. Similarly, with the early warning of the medium or light tank in the central highlands, it is also possible to detect in advance whether the enemy is conducting a wave on the lower road.

The form of the entire battlefield instantly passed through Chen Mo's heart, in general, the whole map is more painful, especially the attack and defense of some key positions, because of the ups and downs of the terrain, it will make the tank that lacks a depression feel extremely depressed. This map is not only about coordination and skill, but also about the performance of the tank itself. Moreover, due to the existence of many peaks and small canyons on this map, it is difficult for the entire defense line to be perfect, and once an enemy tank breaks through the defense line, it will inevitably cause chaos along the entire defense line, so for the sake of safety, Chen Mo still decided to adopt a more stable defensive strategy.

The Central Heights are to be controlled as much as possible, but they really can't be won, and don't let the enemy completely control the Central Heights.

The lower road is to adopt a defensive strategy, arrange a heavy tank and an anti-tank to get stuck in the past, and with the cooperation of the self-propelled guns behind, it should not be a problem to block the lower road.

The key lies in the battle for the road, so the heavy troops must be placed on the road, even if they can't break through, they must not let the enemy break through!

Although the current Bad Boy Legion is shrouded in two major welfare halos, and it is much stronger than other legions in nature, Chen Mo did not take it lightly because of this. There are no weak people in regular legion warfare, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may capsize in the gutter. In a battle yesterday, when the battle reached 11:4, there were still 4 tanks left, and there were eleven tanks on their side, but the second half was indeed turbulent, and the four tanks of the people cooperated with each other, using the terrain to skillfully deal with the bad boy army, and killed eight people, including Chen Mo, alive.

If it weren't for the boredom at the critical moment and Coco's continuous power with the fork's shuttle cannon, that battle might have turned the tables on the family.

Any situation can happen on the battlefield, so it is necessary to maintain a heart of awe at all times, maintain a cautious attitude, and cooperate with the blessing of the two welfare halos to make the bad boy army invincible.

Chen Mo was also very careful about this map. El Alamein Airport is not easy to play, this is the recognition of players in real-world games, there are many factors other than strength in this map, such as luck, because this is fighting on this map, unless your strength is much higher than that of your opponent, if the strength of the enemy and us is about the same, it is often not your own strength that determines the victory, but a kind of luck.

Once when Chen Mo played this map in the real world game, he encountered a very strange result, his own anti-tank in the black gun position, no matter how black the gun, always can't beat other people's heavy tanks, and even the middle tank from time to time to give you a ricochet, and the self-propelled guns are also evil, obviously aiming very accurately, but the result is a shot over, the shell is not "Hey, it's a little worse!" It's "We didn't hit the enemy's tank!" As a result, in that battle, although the teammates in command of Chongtan played very well in the front, the anti-tank and artillery in the back were too unlucky, and they forced people to turn the tables.

That's luck!

Chen Mo didn't want the situation in the real-world game to happen to the Bad Boy Army again, and Chen Mo didn't want the situation that was almost overturned yesterday, so Chen Mo decided to adopt a defensive strategy!

Anyway, the huge map of El Alamein Airport is full of good black gun positions, as long as the heavy tank in front can block the position without impatience and lure the enemy tanks out as much as possible, then it is completely possible to rely on the anti-tank in the rear to eat away at the enemy's living force little by little. Once the enemy's living force is almost eaten away, that is a good time for your tanks to really attack!

Therefore, when the thirty-second countdown to the start of the battle began, Chen Mo immediately issued a series of running orders! (To be continued......)
