Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"Damn it, I don't believe I can't beat you to death!"

Duan Anguo and the others were all red-eyed, and pressed the fire control switch with gritted teeth, either you die or I die, fight, I will fight with you!

Chapter 1339 Twists and turns

Boom boom boom!

Three gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, and three armor-piercing projectiles shot out at a high speed, hitting the German Tiger tanks one after another in just two or three seconds, shooting a ball of dazzling light on them.

The German tanks that were hit by four bombs before and after were finally destroyed, and thick smoke and fire began to rise.

Soon the hatch was opened, and several German tank soldiers got out and began to flee for their lives.

On Duan Anguo's side, the situation was not much better. Another Tiger tank was destroyed and completely lay on the ground.

The 5v5 result of this wave of Tiger tanks was 5:3. The commando led by Duan Anguo destroyed five Tiger tanks and four Panzer IV tanks at the cost of three damages and two injuries.

Even so, this bull will be able to brag for a lifetime after they go back, because this is the first time that the tank troops of the Allied camp destroyed the German Tiger tank on the frontal battlefield.

The tiger hunter who opened the record for the first time will naturally be famous in history and become a good story.

"Damn, this is too scary!"

Looking at the burning Tiger tanks in the distance, Duan Anguo let out a long sigh. At this moment, he realized that his clothes were completely wet. The thrilling battle just now made him dripping with cold sweat.

Bravery and courage are one thing, but the instinctive fear of death is innate, implanted in the soul, and no one can avoid it.

Unless he really doesn't want to live anymore, and he has to have no time to regret it!

"Take your brothers and retreat!"

Five Tiger tanks were destroyed three times and injured two times. Even if Duan Anguo wanted to continue to prowl, he had to bring back the tank soldiers who lost the protection of the tanks first.

These tank soldiers are all elites who have been trained for a long time, each of them is an extremely precious asset, and they are the closest comrades-in-arms.

Compared with dispensable achievements, their lives are naturally the most important.

"Yes!"

"Roger that!"

"Brothers, hurry up and get in the car, retreat first and then talk!"

After receiving the order, the remaining two tanks quickly drove towards the escaped tank soldiers, shouted to them to climb up the tanks quickly, and then led them to retreat.

"it is good!"

"Thank you group!"

"Hurry up, brothers, it is not suitable to stay here for long!"

Soon, after hearing the order, the dozen or so tank soldiers climbed onto the Tiger tank one after another, and hung it on the vehicle body in various poses.

When everyone got into the car, the Tiger tank started to move again and galloped towards Matruh Port.

Although the cross-country speed of 15-21 km/h is not fast, it is much faster than walking, especially when several tank soldiers are seriously injured.

"Tuan Zuo, there is a situation ahead!"

However, when Duan Anguo and others had just driven away, there was a rumbling sound of a motor ahead, and the undispelled black smoke could be seen in the distance.

Apparently there was a tank coming head-on.

"Brothers, get out of the car and get ready to fight!"

Duan Anguo was startled suddenly, and said that he was surrounded by enemy tanks, so he nervously calibrated the muzzle and aimed it at the bottom of the gentle slope ahead.

"Quick! Get out of the car!"

"There is a situation!"

The tank soldiers naturally knew that if they really encountered an enemy tank and they were still hanging on the tank, even if they were not directly blasted into scum, they would have to shatter their internal organs and vomit blood to death.

Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, and jumped off the tank one after another, took off the pistol from their waist and entered the battle state. Although the pistol is useless against the tank at all, it is much stronger than bare hands!

"coming!"

"Ready to fight!"

After waiting quietly for 30 seconds, Duan Anguo and others saw the roof of a tank popping out from under the gentle slope, and everyone suddenly became more nervous.

Duan Anguo had already pressed his finger on the fire control switch, and he would fire without hesitation after confirming the identity of the enemy.

"Hey, it's our own, haha!"

"Release the alert, don't be nervous, it's your own!"

"It turned out to be a false alarm."

Fortunately, Duan Anguo didn't fire at the first time because he was extra careful. Duan Anguo soon discovered that seven Tiger tanks, four armored personnel carriers, and three Sherman tanks were coming. It was probably reinforcements. .

"Ooooooh, have all five Tiger tanks of the German army been killed by them?"

"It's unbelievable that they actually won!"

"The heavy tanks of the Huaxia Army are really powerful!"

After some understanding, Duan Anguo finally figured out the situation. It turned out that a commando from the Brother Tank Regiment encountered the Anglo-American coalition tank group fleeing in a hurry on the way, and they rushed to help.

By the way, Johnson and the others saw that the Huaxia tank army was strong and strong, and it seemed that they had a great chance of winning, so they hurried back after thinking about it for a while.

However, when they came back anxiously, they found that everything was over, and the German Tiger tanks, which were so majestic and powerful, turned into piles of burning scrap iron.

Although they knew before that the heavy tanks equipped by the Huaxia Expeditionary Army were awesome, but the number was really shabby, only 100 in total, so they didn't pay too much attention to it, and naturally thought that they were the protagonists of the ground battle.

Johnson and others didn't fully understand the situation until this time. It turns out that the Huaxia heavy tanks are not inferior to the German Tiger tanks at all. It turns out that they are the protagonists on the battlefield!

When Yang Fan went to North Africa this time, the first batch of Tiger tanks only brought 100, mainly because there were too many things to bring, and the transportation fleet was limited, so the needs of the air force had to be met first.

Otherwise, without air supremacy, no matter how many tanks there are, they can only be called living targets for German bombers.

As for the insufficient number of tanks and large war losses, there is no need to worry too much. Yang Fan can directly purchase Tiger tanks from the system according to the situation to solve the urgent need.

"Regimental Commander Duan, retreat back to rest first, and leave the rest of the battle to us!"

After some simple exchanges, Xu Yuanhao, the tank battalion commander of Huben's 3rd Division, waved the "order to drive away guests" with a big hand.

This is not a good place for chatting and reminiscing about the old days. The battlefields are being fought in darkness, and they have to rush to join forces to wipe out the enemy.

"Okay! Then we will withdraw first, and come back to fight side by side with you after a short rest."

Duan Anguo was not hypocritical, nodded his head quickly, and then called the officers and soldiers under his command to climb into the tank, and sent them back first.

After all, they were armored soldiers, not combat infantry, so they had no way to go directly to the front line and switch to guns to fight the German and Italian troops.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Not long after Duan Anguo and others went back on the road, there was another dull roar of motors in the sky behind them. From a distance, a group of small black spots were flying rapidly.

"Damn, it's really a twists and turns today. It's time to kill the Germans' tanks. The Germans' planes are coming again. Brothers, rush into the small woods and hide first."

Just judging from the flying position, Duan Anguo knew even with his feet that the incoming planes must be enemy planes, and their targets must be the Chinese armored forces on various battlefields.

Chapter 1340 Had a Bold Idea

"Not good, spread out quickly, the enemy bomber fleet is coming."

"hidden!"

Xu Yuanhao and the others were aggressively fighting towards the fierce battle not far away, but just after driving two or three kilometers away, they suddenly found a group of small black spots in the distant sky rushing towards them.

Regardless of whether this group of enemy planes were coming towards him or not, anyway, we must not foolishly maintain the formation as a living target. Xu Yuanhao and others quickly dispersed the formation, and each rushed to the surrounding woods, bushes, mountain depressions, slopes, etc. where they could hide. place.

Buzz!

But fortunately, when Duan Anguo, Xu Yuanhao and others were frightened, there was a burst of motor humming in the eastern sky of Tru Fortress.

"Great! Our air force is here too!"

"We shouldn't have anything to do now!"

When everyone looked back, their hearts immediately settled down. Although it may not be possible to completely avoid the indiscriminate bombing of enemy planes, with the interception of their own air force, at least it can effectively interfere and deter them, and those enemy planes cannot calm down. Bombing was carried out with precision bombing.

Chirp chirp chirp, as everyone expected, the enemy bombers did not dare to stay too long, and they couldn't wait to drop bombs as soon as they flew over the Fortress of Tru.

The German escort fighter jets left the formation to intercept the Allied fighter jets that came to join the battle, and soon an extremely fierce air battle broke out under the attention of everyone.

Tobruk Fortress, Axis North Africa Theater Command War Room.

"Reporting to Your Excellency the Marshal, our army's tank and armored units have been blocked by a large number of 88mm anti-aircraft guns on the front line, and suffered heavy losses!"

"Report to Your Excellency the Marshal, the enemy has dispatched ground attack aircraft and caused serious damage to our armored units. The frontline troops are requesting air force support."

"Report to Marshal, our army has been severely hindered, and there is no way to break through the outer defense line of the Matruh Fortress."

"Report to the Marshal, the Allied armored group has begun to counterattack, and our army is in a hard fight!"

"Reporting to Your Excellency the Marshal, the Air Force of the Third Reich suffered heavy losses,..."

When bad news came back one after another, Rommel's complexion became more and more ugly, and his calm and calm smile had long been thrown to Java.

Knowing that the Allied Forces will definitely stick to the Matruh Fortress is very difficult. The strategically important Matruh Fortress was doomed to be an extremely difficult bone from the very beginning.

Before launching the general offensive this time, Rommel's Afrika Korps had attacked this fortress many times, but under the desperate resistance of the British and American allied forces, they have not been able to make breakthroughs.

But Rommel was far from expecting this situation.

For this strategic general offensive, Rommel can be said to have done enough preparations, not only investing a large number of new fighter jets and new heavy tanks, but also concentrating unprecedented forces for a frontal breakthrough.

However, at this time, he discovered that the strength of the allied forces had been strengthened almost overnight, not only in terms of technical equipment, but also in terms of fighting will and morale.

The attack started in the early morning, and a full 10 hours have passed, and it seems that it is not far from dark.

However, neither the air force nor the ground offensive force took advantage of the slightest advantage. On the contrary, the battle loss ratio continued to increase.

In particular, the casualties of the ground troops were extremely heavy, with at least 6 or [-] casualties so far!

As for the air force, it seems that it has a lot of advantages in terms of battle damage ratio, but in fact, fighting consumption with the United States of America, which has a strong industrial supply capability, is simply drinking poison to quench thirst.

Rommel frowned, looked down at the sand table full of various war games and African military maps, and kept thinking about how to break the deadlock.

The ultimate strategic goal of the current African Legion is nothing more than to conquer Egypt, take down the Suez Canal and the Port of Alexandria, and completely control the Mediterranean.

While strangling the British Mediterranean supply line, the German troops who fought against Stalingrad and the Transcaucasus joined forces in the south of the Transcaucasus, and then acquired the oil fields in Azerbaijan, which the Third Reich had long coveted.

As for the further eastward attack on Quepos, the Middle East, and India, that is a story.

However, if you want to conquer Egypt, win the Suez Canal, and the Port of Alexandria, you must gnaw down the hard bone of the Matruh Fortress.

Of course, in addition to advancing all the way along the coastline, Rommel still has a way to go, that is to detour across the hundreds of kilometers of Libyan desert, and then break through from the Nile River, or detour directly to the Alexandria port and Cairo and other confidant points.

However, it is obvious that this offensive route cannot be realized. It is an extremely difficult task to cross the desert area of ​​hundreds of kilometers first, not to mention that the Allied forces will not sit still and can easily cut off the back road and supply line.

In addition, Rommel has another option, which is to go south to attack Sudan according to the Italian's vision.

On the surface, the idea of ​​seizing Sudan's oilfields to obtain incomparably rich oilfield resources is still possible.

But as long as you use your brain a little, you will know that this idea will not work at all, because if Egypt is not captured and the Suez Canal is controlled, not only will the Allied forces continue to grow and threaten themselves, but even if Sudan is occupied, there will be no way to transport oil out.

In a word, the best offensive route is to push along the coastline all the way, first take Matruh Port to obtain a solid forward fulcrum, and then further attack Alexandria Port and Cairo, Egypt.

It's just that the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny. At present, the African Legion has encountered a hard nail, and it has already been smashed.

After much deliberation, Rommel's head is still a mess.

Facing this three-dimensional tortoise defense of land, sea and air, if the attacker has no crushing advantage, even if he is familiar with military books, it is useless.

As long as the Allied forces firmly defend the Matruh Fortress, Rommel's African Army will not be able to pose a substantial threat to the Port of Alexandria and the Suez Canal, let alone conquer them.

Since it is impossible to break through from the front by land, how about implementing three-dimensional warfare by sea, land and air, and let the Italian navy attack the port of Matruh by sea?

Rommel raised his eyebrows and began to seriously consider this possibility.

Although it was said that the Italian Navy suffered a lot of losses in the continuous mad attack on Malta for several days, but it was not injured at all, and only a few small-tonnage ships and troop carriers were damaged.

On the side of the British Mediterranean Fleet, three capital ships were destroyed not long ago, and the overall combat effectiveness of the fleet was greatly reduced.

The British Mediterranean Fleet, which did not have an advantage in the first place, is now incapable of confronting the Italian Navy in a decisive battle at sea.

The only thing to worry about is that when the fleet is attacking close to the coastline, it will not only have to fight hard against the powerful coastal defense artillery, but also have to beware of the attack of the land-based bomber fleet.

However, as long as the air force on our side can be stronger and can threaten the opponent's bomber fleet, it seems that this is not a big problem.

Thinking of these, Rommel gradually had a bold idea in his mind.
