Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The goal of the 1st Group Army was the Suez Canal. This was naturally ordered by Zhang Yunfei. Before the 1st Group went out, Zhang Yunfei specifically told Wang Haiyang to order the 1st Group Army to wait for an opportunity to seize the Suez Canal.  .

    After Montgomery left, the 1st Army temporarily stationed itself in this small town and within a dozen kilometers around the town. On the one hand, it rested and on the other hand, it waited for the arrival of the 6th Army.

    In this attack on the African battlefield, China will definitely not be able to send only the 1st Group Army. The 1st Group Army is just a vanguard force, and there will be several large armies that will arrive later.

    While the 1st Army was resting in this area, several reconnaissance planes taking off from the Persian Gulf airport were constantly conducting reconnaissance in the Suez Canal area, and even as far away as northern Egypt and the Mediterranean coast. The purpose was of course to clarify this area as soon as possible.  Case.

    On the third day after the air battle, the 6th Army had not yet arrived, and the 1st Army had not yet launched a large-scale attack on the Germans, but the Germans struck first.

    In the air battle three days ago, the German army was defeated, which made Rommel very angry. Rommel, who had never fought such a big defeat, gathered more than 200 tanks and two elite infantry divisions in three days. First of all,  Launched an attack on the 1st Army.

    Although the 1st Army was resting in this area, Wang Haiyang was never careless and extended the cordon dozens of kilometers away. There were 1st Army guard posts thirty or forty kilometers away from the town.

    Fortunately, there were these guard posts, and the large-scale German invasion was immediately discovered.

    The German army's combat style is obviously different from that of Japan. The German army is simply coming with a menacing force. More than two hundred tanks are leading the way. Following the tanks are a large number of German infantry. There are two infantry divisions, and the number of infantry has reached a terrifying 20,000.  Multiple people.

    The level of weaponry and equipment of the German infantry is several notches higher than that of the previous Little Devils. The German tanks are not comparable to the Little Devils' Doudin tanks. The German army's main tank, the Panzer IV, is better than the Type 39 of the 1st Army.  Tanks are not much different.

    More than thirty kilometers northwest of the town.

    Several tanks of the First Army are on guard here. This is a small unit consisting of a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle and three off-road vehicles. The soldiers parked the tanks on a small high point and looked at them from time to time.  All around.

    The surrounding terrain is relatively flat, with a lot of deserts and Gobis, which look very desolate. If it was spring or summer, you might still be able to see some greenery, but now it is winter, and you can only see some sparse, dead vegetation.  .

    This place belongs to Egypt. Although it is close to the Red Sea and only a few dozen kilometers away from the Suez Canal, it still seems relatively desolate. In the entire Egypt, only the coast of the Nile River and the mouth of the Nile River are vibrant. The rest of the place is mostly desert and  Gobi.

    The location of this small group of soldiers is basically the same. It is also mainly in the desert Gobi, but the terrain is relatively flat. The small highland where the soldiers are located is only 20 to 30 meters higher than the surrounding areas.

    These soldiers have obviously been standing guard here for a certain period of time. A few soldiers are observing the distance with telescopes, and the remaining soldiers are resting and chatting.

    "Platoon leader! The air battle three days ago was really enjoyable! I heard that more than two hundred German aircraft were shot down."

    A second lieutenant platoon leader nodded and said with joy: "Our navy was really blushing a few days ago. The first battle with the German army was perfect."

    "Platoon commander! I estimate that it will be our ground troops' turn next, and our ground battle with the Germans may be about to begin."

    A soldier who looked like a ghostly spirit blinked his big eyes and began to boldly speculate that there would be a ground war next.

    The platoon leader nodded slightly again, "I think so too. We have been resting in this area for several days, and we will definitely take the initiative to attack soon."

    "I'm really looking forward to the battle with the German army. Fighting against Japan in the past was not satisfying at all."

    Everyone gathered around their platoon leader and kept talking. It could be seen that the mental state and morale of the soldiers were good. Everyone was looking forward to a big battle and wanted to have a good fight with the German army.

    Many soldiers have naturally heard about the strength of the German army, but the soldiers are not timid at all. Instead, the soldiers are looking forward to fighting the German army as soon as possible.

    "Everyone, be quiet! What is that sound?"

    A soldier who was on guard suddenly shouted loudly. After hearing the shout, everyone suddenly became quiet. Everyone heard the faint sound coming from the distance.

    Everyone listened for a while, and the sound became louder and clearer.

    "No! YesThe sound of a large number of tanks traveling together.  "

    "It must be a German tank group."

    Several soldiers looked at the direction of the sound with binoculars. Not long after, a large number of tanks in the distance appeared in the field of vision of the soldiers. Fortunately, the soldiers were located on a small high ground, otherwise they would not be able to see far away.  A group of tanks appeared.

    That was a huge tank group, rumbling towards this side, forming a several-kilometer front line, which looked very spectacular, raising dust all over the sky.

    Seeing this scene, the soldiers were slightly shocked. It was obvious that the German army began to attack them on a large scale. So many tanks were dispatched at one time, there must be at least more than two hundred tanks.

    The second lieutenant platoon leader did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately reported to the 1st Army Headquarters through the radio communication system in the car. After the report was completed, he organized the soldiers to evacuate.

    *****1st Army Headquarters.

    Wang Haiyang received the report from the forward observation post and immediately knew that the Germans were coming for revenge, and they were coming with bad intentions. It seemed that it would be a big war.

    Wang Haiyang immediately issued a series of orders, telling the soldiers, especially the infantry, not to confront the German tanks head-on, and to let the German troops drive straight in and penetrate deep into their own defense zone.

    In addition, Wang Haiyang began to mobilize three tank regiments and three mechanized infantry regiments to prepare for a big battle with the German army. Of course, the main force was the tank regiment. The three tank regiments had more than 300 Type 39 tanks, accounting for a large number of them.  Big advantage.

    In addition, the three major tank regiments also have some armored vehicles and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. These tanks, together with the chariots of the three major mechanized infantry regiments, cover the attacking tanks and deal with the infantry following the German army.

    In addition, the situation will be reported immediately to the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy on the Red Sea. These Chinese [***] ships and aircraft carriers cruising on the Red Sea are equipped with a lot of armed helicopters, at least 30 armed helicopters. The armed helicopters are called  Tank killers, German tanks are coming in large numbers. For these armed helicopters, the opportunity has come.

    After giving the order, Wang Haiyang seemed to have a calm face, but in fact he was quite nervous inside. It was his first time fighting such a large-scale battle with the Germans. If he lost, his 1st Army would be in danger, and the Germans might eat it up.  Down.

    The front line.

    As the orders were issued, the infantry regiments were avoiding the menacing German army, while the three tank regiments were quickly gathering to the predetermined location, where they would have a big battle with the German army.

    Wang Haiyang has already chosen the scheduled location for the decisive battle. It is a huge Gobi, a flat Gobi less than 20 kilometers north of his headquarters. This Gobi has a radius of dozens of square kilometers and is suitable for tanks.  The final battle.

    The huge German tank group was driving recklessly, as if they didn't take the Chinese [***] team seriously at all, especially some German troops. When they saw the Chinese infantry in the distance getting out of the way, these German troops became even more arrogant.  .

    The German army marched straight in. The German army never thought that it would be surrounded. It had more than two hundred tanks. What troops could surround it? Even if it was surrounded, it could easily break out of the encirclement with so many tanks.

    The German tank group, followed by a large number of infantry, plunged into the depth of the 1st Army's defenses.

    After the German army marched more than ten kilometers, the German army saw that this place was already an endless stretch of Gobi. In front of them, a larger tank group appeared. This was the tank group of the 1st Group Army.

    This time the German tanks were coming fiercely, and the three tank groups of the 1st Group were used intensively. In a short period of time, more than 300 tanks gathered together to form a very large tank group.

    Seeing such a large tank group, many German soldiers were slightly surprised. They did not expect that this squadron [***] also had so many tanks, but they did not know what the names of these tanks were.

    Relying on their confidence in their own tanks, the German tank group did not slow down, but rushed towards the Chinese tank group head-on.

    Tank battles do not rely on numbers to win. The key lies in the performance of the tanks. For example, the small Japanese Douding tanks are useless no matter how many they are. Therefore, although there are many Chinese tanks, these German tanks  Still he rushed forward without stopping.

    The Chinese tank group naturally saw the German tank group in the distance. The soldiers launched their tanks one after another, maintained their formation, and faced them.

    The soldiers are not as arrogant as the German army. They are relatively calm. Furthermore, the soldiers have never fought against German tanks. They have only briefly learned about the German Panzer IV tanks from some introductions.  Soldiers will naturally not underestimate the enemy.

    The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the war is about to begin.
