Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In order to regain the confidence of the allies, it may be to gain an advantage, or it may be to reverse the disadvantage of the current war situation.

Adolf was determined to launch a counterattack in North Africa.

So Adolf showed his trump card, which was the newly developed No. 6 heavy tank, also known as the Tiger.

But the Tiger was transported to the North African battlefield and immediately caused a sensation. After all, before this, the tanks they could see were light and medium tanks like the No. 3 and No. 4.

The first time they saw the No. 6 tank surprised both John and the Americans.

After the Tigers arrived in North Africa, Rommel planned to launch a counterattack.

Rommel's chosen target was the al-Arish oasis in the northern Sinai Peninsula.

This is one of the few oases in the entire Sinai Peninsula and one of the few fresh water supply points.

Rommel planned to occupy this place first and drive the Daxia people out of the oasis.

So, in November 1933, Rommel launched the offensive code-named Spring Rain.

In fact, Zhou Chuanjun guessed the direction of Rommel's attack before the attack started.

Therefore, he deployed heavy troops in El-Arish, and planned to go around and cut off Rommel's supply line and give Rommel a dumpling.

But what he didn't expect was that the bottom of the dumpling was not secured, and the Daxia army in the Arish area failed to hold it.

The main reason was that Daxia saw the Tiger tank for the first time and found that the anti-tank guns they brought with them in light armor could not penetrate the Tiger's frontal armor.

Moreover, the tanks that came with the troops were all light and medium tanks, and the 75mm ones were indeed unable to penetrate.

Driven out of El-Arish by Rommel.

Let me mention here, it’s not that Daxia’s tanks are no match for the tanks of the Hans Empire, it’s that Daxia has left heavy and large-caliber anti-tank destroyers behind.

The main reason is caused by the environment in North Africa.

North Africa belongs to Africa, and there are a lot of deserts and terrain like the Gobi.

And such a terrain will produce a situation, that is, there will be more flying sand.

When there is a lot of flying sand, the logistics and maintenance requirements for the tank will be high.

In addition, before this, the Hans people used Type 3 and Type 4 tanks. These tanks could not take any advantage at all in front of the Daxia people's latest Type 6 tanks.

The six types of tanks mentioned here include type A and type B. Type A-6 tanks are divided into multiple types. For example, Type A-6 tanks are light tanks, Type II tanks are medium-sized tanks, Type III tanks are heavy tanks, and Type IV tanks are super-heavy tanks.

The B-6 type tanks have fewer models, only two.

One is a Type B-90 Type 90 anti-tank destroyer with a caliber of less than mm, and the other is a Type tank with a caliber of over mm.

Of course, this is not all of the Empire's armored forces. In addition to combat vehicles, there are also various types of armored vehicles, armored personnel carriers, special armored combat vehicles for swamp environments, armored vehicles, weapons carriers, etc.

It can be said that the models of Daxia's armored forces are actually very detailed and very reasonable.

Only this time, in order to facilitate logistics and maintenance, Zhou Chuanjun preferred to bring tanks that were easy to maintain and had rough skin and thick flesh.

The result was that he was educated by Rommel.

Can Zhou Chuanjun tolerate this tone?

Therefore, Zhou Chuanjun asked the people in the rear to pull out all the good things without considering the maintenance costs.

Since the beginning of the war, all other front armies have been victorious, but Zhou Chuanjun's side has lost one battle.

Moreover, the reason for losing this battle was not because of the command, but because he was reluctant to use equipment with high maintenance costs.

Can he bear this?

Now Zhou Chuanjun can think that if this news spreads back to Daxia, many people will probably want to see his joke.

If you lose face, you have to earn it back.

Therefore, Zhou Chuanjun prepared to give Rommel a hard blow to let him know what the torrent of steel was.

Just as Zhou Chuanjun was worried, after the news of Arish's defeat spread back to Daxia, some people did laugh at Zhou Chuanjun.

After all, anyone who is familiar with Zhou Chuanjun knows that this senior commander of the empire who came out of Jiaodong has had too many hard times in the past.

He is always petty and likes to win at the lowest cost. Even though the empire has equipped him with good equipment, this old man doesn't use it.

Oh, by the way, this old man also likes to eat big carp from the Yellow River. I wonder if you can still eat big carp abroad.

Lin Yi also knew that Zhou Chuanjun lost Alish because of his stinginess and reluctance.

Lin Yi was not angry, and he was not the kind of person who couldn't afford to lose. After all, when it comes to fighting, where is the point of always winning?

But this time Alish failed, Lin Yi didn't think it was a good thing.

He had told Zhou Chuanjun before that the empire now is no longer what it was decades ago. The empire now has money and can afford expensive logistical supplies.

But Zhou Chuanjun didn't listen. No matter what Lin Yi said, he just listened to it.

Lin Yi felt that after this incident, Zhou Chuanjun could change his mind.

Did Zhou Chuanjun change it that week? Not to mention, it has really changed.

And the changes were a bit too much.

In order to retaliate, Zhou Chuanjun mobilized two heavy armored divisions directly from the rear this time.

Each of these two divisions has 348 tanks. Among them, there are 18 Type A-40 and Type 190 super-heavy tanks, 100 Type heavy tanks, Type medium combat vehicles and Type light combat vehicles.

For two divisions, it is doubled.

Zhou Chuanjun let these two heavy armors, plus two mechanized infantry divisions and four motorized infantry divisions, take back El Arish.

And this time, Zhou Chuanjun also gave a death order. He can ignore the rest, but the armored divisions in Rommel's hands must be kept by him!

Especially the No. 6 tank, not one of them is allowed to escape.

What should the people below do about the order given by the little old man Zhou Chuanjun?

Of course I did.

Do you think that when those people in China laughed at Zhou Chuanjun, no one would laugh at them?

So not to mention Zhou Chuanjun, but also the people from the entire Middle East Dispatch Army, they are all holding their breath and want to regain their position.

Therefore, the Second Battle of El-Arish broke out under this premise.

When Daxia's two heavy armored divisions appeared on the battlefield, everyone in Rommel was stunned.

He thought that the No. 6 heavy Tiger tank of the Hans Empire had been the crystallization of human wisdom.

As a result, the Tiger tanks were unable to penetrate Daxia's A-128 Type 120 and Type tanks. Instead, the mm main gun of Type IV and the mm main gun of Type III were used against the Tiger, just like an adult hitting a child, one at a time.

One shot can open the tank for the Tiger... The 100mm alloy armor of the Tiger is like paper in front of the Daxia people's tanks and has no effect.

This made Rommel fall into self-doubt. Is this Daxia chariot really so powerful?
