30 June 1941, North Africa

After the outbreak of the war between Hans and the Alliance, all the strategists thought that Hans would take the defensive in other directions, especially in the North African direction, don't look at what North African Army Hans formed, but in fact, there was only one 7th Panzer Division that was Hans's troops, and half of them were captured equipment, as for those colonial troops, when no one had used the colonial troops, who would dare to expect those guys who didn't even know the numbers?

Combined with the situation of Hans's transportation, the Britons even felt that they should be more active and strive to achieve a certain advantage in North Africa, at least. It is not necessary to cut off the passage of North African oil to the north, as long as the oil supply of Hans is cut off, then the balance of war is bound to tilt again, and for this reason, Comrade Iron and Steel even promised to hand over to Britain more than 200 tons of gold secretly stored in London by the Union government, and as for the Bald Eagle, he even promised to sell twenty old destroyers as scrap iron to the shipbreaking yards in Britain.

But just when the Britons were desperately drawing troops and materials from the colonies of Asia and Australia to prepare for their planned autumn counteroffensive, on the last day of June, the Hans troops finally showed their fangs, 120,000 Hans troops, 135,000 Noodle Country troops, 115,000 F country colony troops, a total of 370,000 troops, more than 2,000 warplanes, more than 4,800 tanks, more than 200 cannons, and more than 200 warships. The colonies of Central Africa attacked at the same time.

Less than three hours after the war was launched, the Triple Alliance broke through the British defense line in many aspects, and the British garrison in the direction of the Gold Coast even surrendered directly to the F Army cleanly, don't look at the collapse of others on the European battlefield, but it was all caused by strategic mistakes, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the grassroots troops, it was really not bad, the world's first army was definitely not blown out, and it was not too easy to fight the colonial army of the British, okay?

The breakthrough of the defense line is only one aspect, what makes the Britons more uncomfortable is the bombing of the coalition forces, most of the planes of the Hanns and the Noodle Country have been supported to the Eastern Front battlefield, but the people of the F country have planes, plus the planes that the pilots flew to North Africa "privately" in the later stage of the war, the air force of the North African F Army is not too strong, and the only thing lacking is fuel and ammunition reserves, but these two are not a problem for Hans at all.

Just on the first day after the battle was launched, the coalition forces threw tens of thousands of incendiary bombs into the area controlled by the British, and the stinky Hans even developed a ceramic incendiary bomb under the guidance of experts from the Water Waist Arsenal, although the cost is similar to that of gasoline barrels, but it is easier to obtain, and the coalition forces have built factories around all air bases in just a few days, and then produce shells on the spot, and it is said that the air marshal has begun to set up the same factory in the territory of the alliance, Later, you only need to transport the fuel over to solve the problem completely.

As the supreme commander of the British North African Army, Admiral Wavell immediately wanted to retract his troops and retreat all the way back to Alexandria and Cairo, and then rely on the defense system of the two cities to resist the attack of the coalition forces.

Just as Admiral Wavell was preparing to restructure his troops, the British Prime Minister, who Hans had described as a lame soldier among politicians and a crappy politician among the soldiers, came to interfere with his actions again, asking him to immediately launch a strong counterattack to avoid the troops being divided and surrounded by the coalition forces.

Originally, this idea was not problematic, but it was still difficult to launch a local counterattack in a critical area under the current panic of the British army, and sure enough, it went wrong shortly after Wavell gave the order to the front-line troops.

A Tianzhu Corps with five divisions actually mutinied, some officers and soldiers retreated directly to the hinterland of the Pharaoh country, and the other part of the officers and soldiers directly disarmed the British officers and gendarmes, and then took the initiative to find the Noodle Country army to surrender, as for those Tianzhu officers and soldiers who escaped were also captured by the Noodle Country later, and then together with other Tianzhu troops captured on the battlefield, they formed the Tianzhu Corps of the Noodle Country.

The Australian Corps, which launched a counterattack in the other direction, rushed out very resolutely against the Hans soldiers, plus they were only Hans's colonial corps on the opposite side, everyone thought that this time it must be a pinch, but this fight, the Britons were stupid, Nima's Hanns, they were not so bullying, and actually equipped the colonial corps with two or three thousand tank armored vehicles, although there were t27 tank bA10 armored vehicles, but what the hell were the 1,000 Valentine infantry tanks? The British North African Legion is not so much good!

The Britons naturally wouldn't know that Wang Yue emptied all the tanks in his hand in order to support the Hanns, 386 bA10 armored cars, 1,021 Valentine infantry tanks, and 1,621 T-27 tanks.

Therefore, the Hans Colonial Corps had more tanks and armored vehicles than the other two countries combined, and as soon as they fought, the British Australian Corps was routed head-on, and there was no way to fight it well, even the most wasteful T27 tank could chase the Britons' ultralight tanks and beat them wildly.

The fighting between the two sides in the border area lasted for three days, and the North African Corps that the British had worked hard to put together was annihilated and captured more than 200,000 people, and almost all the technical equipment and materials were lost, at this time, the remaining troops in the hands of General Wavell were less than 30,000 people, and the tanks were only more than 100 emergency airlifted Bren machine gun carriers, but even 7.92 mm steel-core armor-piercing shells could not stop that thing.

On July 4th, the Noodle Nation army landed behind Alexandria, and at the same time, the Noodle Nation Navy fleet also launched a large-scale artillery bombardment of Alexandria again.

Coupled with the intensive bombardment that lasted for several days, Alexandria was almost destroyed, and in this case, Admiral Wavell had to take the initiative to disobey the orders of the Prime Minister and withdraw all his troops from Alexandria.

On July 5, Alexandria fell, and the noodle nation powerhouse got his wish and entered the still burning city first.
