- The soldiers of the 1st Group Army descended from the transport ships to the pier in an orderly manner. The pier was not large and could not accommodate all the transport ships to dock at the pier. More transport ships were directly on the beach a few kilometers near the pier. dock.
There are more than twenty of these transport ships, all of which are the latest landing ships produced by Tianjin Shipyard. They have a displacement of five to six thousand tons and a very shallow waterline, allowing them to land directly on the beach.
More than twenty transport ships were lined up in a row, with the hatches wide open. Groups of soldiers lined up neatly and quickly landed on the beach. Tanks, armored vehicles, and off-road vehicles were launched from the landing ships. One by one we drove onto the beach.
In the distance, many British troops were watching the soldiers land. They were slightly surprised to see such an advanced landing ship and many tanks.
Many British officers and soldiers thought to themselves that the Chinese ** Corps is really a mysterious division. Not only does it have a neat military appearance, but it also has so much heavy equipment.
Most of these British officers and soldiers are not rookies. Just by looking at them from a distance, these British officers and soldiers know that the performance of these tanks is definitely not worse than the British main battle tanks.
¡°Oh! God! I can¡¯t believe it!¡±
"Sir! Look, the main battle tank of the Chinese ** team is really powerful!"
"Look! That's an infantry fighting vehicle! It looks so beautiful!'
""
Many British officers and soldiers saw the majestic and high-spirited soldiers, and then saw the majestic tanks, armored vehicles, etc. If it is said that these British officers and soldiers were only slightly surprised at first, then later. These British officers and soldiers were amazed again and again.
Although the British army in this small seaport has more than a thousand people and is equipped with more than a dozen tanks and several cannons, the level of equipment cannot be compared with that of the 1st Army. Naturally, these British troops are very powerful. be surprised.
Comrade Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, had already disembarked from the landing ship and was riding an off-road vehicle when Wang Haiyang passed by these British troops. Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of these British soldiers. Wang Haiyang couldn't help but smile.
A sense of pride arose from the bottom of his heart. Wang Haiyang felt sincerely proud that his army had shown its face in front of these British troops.
Not far from the harbor. It's a small town with thousands of people. The off-road vehicle Wang Haiyang rode. Under the escort of several off-road vehicles and several armored vehicles, they headed to a small town not far away.
On the way to the town. Groups of soldiers were also marching towards the town. The town was not far from here, only two or three kilometers away. Soon, Wang Haiyang's convoy arrived at the town.
At the gate of the town, a British colonel, with several British officers and soldiers, enthusiastically greeted Wang Haiyang and his party. This British colonel was the supreme commander of this town. Originally, this British colonel I still want to put on some airs.
However, it was reported that tens of thousands of Chinese troops had arrived, and they were well-equipped. There was also a huge fleet on the Red Sea not far away, and the Chinese team was led by several generals.
After receiving such a report, the British colonel immediately became excited and without any airs, he immediately led a group of his officers and hurried to the entrance of the town to welcome Wang Haiyang and his party.
Seeing British officers welcoming him at the entrance of the town, Wang Haiyang's motorcade stopped in front of these British officers, and Wang Haiyang got out of the car himself.
Seeing several Chinese generals coming down, the British colonel stood up straight, saluted a military salute, and then said respectfully: "Welcome! Welcome the arrival of friendly forces."
The translator next to him immediately translated for everyone. Wang Haiyang responded with a military salute indifferently. It was completely okay to put on some airs in front of a colonel.
A colonel staff officer of the 1st Group Army, who was obviously proficient in English, began to introduce himself. When he learned that tens of thousands of Chinese troops had arrived, and the leader was still the commander of the group army, the British colonel became more and more respectful.
"Your Excellency, General! We have reported to our superiors. Our General Montgomery is also on the way. Let's go to the town to rest."
The supreme commander of the Allied forces in the North African battlefield was Montgomery. The Allied high command naturally knew that the squadron landing here would be an entire group army.
The Allies attach great importance to the Chinese troops entering the African battlefield. General Montgomery came here personally to show the Allies' attention.
However, this British colonel had just learned that Montgomery was on the way. Seeing that his top commanders were on the way, the British colonel became more and more respectful and enthusiastic.
At the same time, the British colonel also secretly wiped his cold sweat. When he first learned that the Chinese ** team had landed here, he??I still want to show off, but now it seems that I am quite lucky. As soon as I got the report, I came over to greet him personally at the entrance of the town.
Wang Haiyang and his party, under the leadership of the British army, quickly arrived at the British army's headquarters, and the British army welcomed them warmly.
More than two hours later, Montgomery and his entourage rushed over. Seeing Wang Haiyang, Montgomery was very enthusiastic and gave Wang Haiyang a warm hug.
The two sides exchanged a few words and quickly got to the point. Montgomery introduced the situation on the North African battlefield to Wang Haiyang in detail.
Across North Africa, the Allied forces had 195,000 troops and 1,029 tanks, including U.S. troops and British troops, all under the command of Montgomery, with British troops accounting for the majority.
There are tens of thousands of Italian troops and nearly 100,000 German troops in North Africa. These troops are uniformly commanded by the famous German Marshal Rommel.
At present, the strategic confrontation between the two sides is in a strategic balance. However, this time China has sent so many troops and many tanks. The Allies have seen hope, and Montgomery also knows that this kind of maintenance will The strategic balance that has existed for a long time will soon be broken.
When the two sides were talking, Montgomery reminded Wang Haiyang that Rommel, Manstein, and Guderian were known as the three famous generals of the German army. They were very powerful. The German army led by Rommel was even known as the elite of the German army.
After hearing Montgomery¡¯s reminder, Wang Haiyang, while expressing his gratitude, also said lightly that we are fighting elites.
Seeing that Wang Haiyang didn't take Rommel seriously, Montgomery secretly shook his head and thought to himself, these Chinese troops are too arrogant. Even our British and American coalition forces can't defeat Rommel's German army. You are new here, don't you think? Can defeat them.
Montgomery felt that Wang Haiyang was too arrogant, and was slightly worried. He thought to himself that maybe he thought highly of this Chinese team.
Wang Haiyang naturally saw Montgomery's expression, and Wang Haiyang didn't mind. In the future, as long as the facts speak for themselves and he wins a few beautiful battles, Montgomery will naturally know that he is not arrogant at all.
The two sides chatted for a while. Suddenly, a major from the squadron came over and stood at attention to report: "Chief! I received a telegram from the navy. A large number of aircraft are flying from here."
Hearing this, Wang Haiyang¡¯s expression changed, and he thought to himself, the German army moved very quickly. It had only been a few hours since he landed here, and a large number of planes had already arrived.
These planes are definitely not from the Allies. Montgomery, the supreme commander of the Allied forces in North Africa, is here. These planes must be from the Germans.
The translator next to him also began to report the situation to Montgomery. He learned that a large number of enemy planes were coming here. Montgomery was slightly worried that these German troops were coming for this squadron. He didn't know that this squadron had just arrived here and was still there. Can the Chinese ** team, which has not gained a firm foothold, be spared?
¡°If this Chinese ** team suffers heavy losses under the bombing of German aircraft, not only will their morale be greatly damaged, but I also hope that this Chinese ** team will break the strategic balance in North Africa.
Montgomery is very clear about the power of German aircraft. The Allies and the Germans have been at war for many years. It can be said that he knows himself and the enemy and understands the Germans very well.
Montgomery thought to himself that this Chinese army was in danger. It seemed that his hopes had been dashed. It seemed that the strategic balance in North Africa could not be broken so easily.
Knowing that German aircraft were invading in large numbers, Wang Haiyang was more cautious and immediately issued an order for air defense. Each mechanized infantry regiment and tank regiment had a large number of 30mm cannons. This time, these troops will assume the heavy responsibility of air defense.
Because of the radio communication system, Wang Haiyang's order was quickly issued. The soldiers were doing air defense in an orderly manner, and the 30mm cannons were aimed at the sky.
On the surface of the Red Sea.
The two aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet and the Mustang aircraft were taking off one after another. The first thing to detect the incoming German aircraft was the radar of the Indian Ocean Fleet. These radars discovered the German aircraft group 200 kilometers away.
One after another, the aircraft completed the formation in the sky. Soon, at least dozens of aircraft completed the formation. The two aircraft carriers had more than 100 carrier-based aircraft, and each aircraft carrier had between five and sixty aircraft. .
Persian Gulf base.
One after another, Mustang fighters are also taking off in an emergency. This time, radar shows that there are at least more than 200 German aircraft. The Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft are obviously at a numerical disadvantage. To be cautious, a large number of Mustang fighters are flying at this airport. take off.
The location of the 1st Group Army is completely within the combat radius of these Mustang fighters. These aircraft can arrive at the combat location within an hour, hoping to catch up.
The first to engage the German aircraft fleet must be from two aircraft carriers.Get on the take-off fighter planes, and then these planes can rush over to fight.
