Text Chapter 833: Surrounded but not attacked

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At present, the German army has been surrounded, and the German tanks have been destroyed one after another. It is unrealistic to continue to break through. What's more, the depth of the 1st Group Army's defense in the depths of the battlefield now makes the breakout as successful as possible.  Sex is almost zero.

    Many German officers know this. Under such circumstances, there are only two ways to go. One is to stand firm and wait for help, and the other is to surrender.

    Obviously, these German troops are not willing to surrender. If all these German troops surrender, the German military strength in the entire North Africa region will be greatly weakened.  If you don't want to surrender, you can only wait for help.

    The senior German officer just now came up with a good idea and immediately ordered all his tanks, cars, etc. to quickly form a line of defense. He relied on this line of defense to hold on, hoping to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

    This German army suffered heavy losses in a short period of time. Now, the German army has asked Rommel for help, and German reinforcements may be on the move.

    After receiving the order, all the German troops gave up their breakout, and instead formed a huge circle with all their tanks, trucks, etc., a large circle several kilometers long. The remaining nearly a hundred tanks of the German army and two infantry divisions were  There are hundreds of large trucks. Each tank or truck is 20 to 30 meters away from each other and 50 to 60 meters away from each other.

    The German army used these tanks or trucks as support to form a huge line of defense. The two German infantry divisions were equipped with a large number of infantry artillery, combat defense artillery, and mortars. The German infantry also reacted very quickly, with various  The artillery was also pulled out and pointed outside the circle in unison, preparing to resist the attack of the Chinese army.

    The actions of the German army.  The soldiers surrounding the perimeter immediately discovered that after the German army was surrounded, Wang Haiyang and other senior officials of the 1st Group Army took an armored command vehicle and came to a small high ground. They were several kilometers away and watched from a distance with binoculars.  battlefield.

    Wang Haiyang suddenly saw the actions of the German army. Wang Haiyang also felt a little anxious and thought to himself, what tricks are the German troops doing at this time?

    Although I feel anxious in my heart.  but.  With victory in hand, Wang Haiyang did not order the soldiers to continue the attack. Wang Haiyang also wanted to see what these German troops were playing.

    So.  Wang Haiyang said loudly: "Give me the order. Order the soldiers to surround and not attack. Give these German troops enough time, and we will have a good time with them."

    It will be quick, probably less than an hour.  The German defense line was beginning to take shape. Seeing the huge defense line built by the German army, Wang Haiyang couldn't help but laugh.

    ¡°It¡¯s interesting, it¡¯s getting more and more interesting.¡±

    "Chief! It seems that the German army is going to stand still and wait for reinforcements. You see, they are still setting up mountain artillery and combat defense artillery."

    Hearing this, Wang Haiyang nodded and said with a smile: "The equipment of the two German infantry divisions is pretty good. Their combat artillery and mountain artillery are very harmful to us. Order the soldiers to retreat another two kilometers."

    These two German infantry divisions are basically motorized infantry divisions, equipped with a large number of trucks. The two divisions have at least hundreds of large trucks. In addition, they are also equipped with a lot of mountain artillery, combat defense artillery, and even 88 mm  Anti-aircraft guns.

    Just now, under the attack of the soldiers, these various artillery pieces had not been unloaded from the tractor trucks, and they had basically no effect. Now, the German army has built a defense line, and these artillery pieces have also been unloaded from the tractor trucks one by one. Many German artillery  Cannons being set up.

    There are two main types of German combat anti-cannons, one is the 37mm combat anti-cannon, and the other is the 50mm combat anti-cannon. The German 50mm combat anti-cannon is quite powerful and is a big threat to the Type 39 tank.

    The two major infantry divisions of the German army are equipped with a large number of combat artillery, each division has at least dozens of them. Now, these combat artillery basically have their muzzles facing outward, aiming at Chinese tanks in the distance.

    The German 88mm anti-aircraft guns are even more powerful. In the past, they had no time to unload them from the tractor trucks. Now, once these cannons are installed, they cannot be underestimated.

    The German 88mm anti-aircraft gun can be used not only as an anti-aircraft gun, but also as a flat-fire gun, which can directly aim at armored targets and fire.

    At the beginning, the German army came with great force and completely underestimated the 1st Army. The German army believed that it had more than 200 tanks and two well-equipped motorized infantry divisions behind it. The German army believed that it was a powerful force.  The power is certainly unstoppable.

    The German army never expected that its more than 200 tanks would be severely damaged by the squadron's tank group, and the two infantry divisions it followed up had basically not had time to play their role.

    Now, as the defensive front is gradually completed and the Chinese tank groups on the periphery gradually move away, the Chinese army has obviously retreated a long way, far away from itself, and has no intention of continuing to attack.

    Seeing this scene, many German officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief quietly. It seemed that they?The tactics just adopted are completely correct.

    Not only do trucks and tanks form strong support points or firepower points, but more importantly, cannons have been erected, and these cannons can exert their power.

    far away.

    The 1st Group Army's three major tank regiments, three major mechanized infantry regiments, and a large number of tanks were about two or three kilometers away from the German army. They faced the German army from a distance, but the soldiers did not attack.

    The top hatches of some tanks were even opened, and many tank soldiers got out of the tanks and leaned against the tanks to get some air.

    Comrade Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, is also paying attention to the situation of the German positions. The entire German position is about four to five square kilometers. The losses of the German tanks are relatively large, but the casualties of the two German infantry divisions are not large.

    Wang Haiyang has a way to deal with the German position surrounded by the iron barrel formation. There are at least two ways. One is to use a large number of heavy artillery to cover the German position with artillery fire. The German army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

    Another way is to call for air support and intensive bombing of the German positions. Because he has the means to deal with the Germans, Wang Haiyang seems relatively calm and not in a hurry.

    As for the German reinforcements, Wang Haiyang is not very worried. Wang Haiyang knows that even if the German army sends a large number of reinforcements here, they will definitely be blocked by the US and British troops.

    "Commander! Let's bombard them with heavy artillery and let the Germans compensate for the power of our heavy artillery."

    Wang Haiyang shook his head. Bombardment with heavy artillery was a good idea. However, Wang Haiyang was not prepared to do so. On the one hand, it was troublesome for the heavy artillery group to temporarily build artillery positions. In addition, if the Germans had planes come over for a sneak attack, the loss of his heavy artillery would be  It won't be small.

    Since entering the North African battlefield, the heavy artillery groups of the 1st Army have appeared to be cautious. At present, they are all hidden. Each heavy artillery is either covered with dead grass or covered with camouflage nets, constantly guarding against the German air force.

    Although, a few days ago, the Chinese navy severely damaged the German air force in North Africa, but who knows whether the German army in North Africa has replenished its fighter planes. After all, the German army's aircraft are very large. It is completely normal to transfer a batch of aircraft from other battlefields.  of.

    In addition, and more importantly, Wang Haiyang does not want to waste his precious artillery shells. Now, the 1st Group Army is far away from China, and supply is more difficult. Artillery shells must be used on the cutting edge.

    Wang Haiyang thought for a moment and decided: "Contact the Indian Ocean Fleet and send planes over to bomb these German troops."

    Aircraft bombing is indeed a good idea, and several senior commanders of the 1st Army nearby also agreed. Immediately, the 1st Army Headquarters began to contact the Indian Ocean Fleet.

    Persian Gulf base.

    Thirty "Super Flying Fortress" bombers and two squadrons of Mustang fighters took off one after another from the base airport after receiving the order.

    ***************

    The German army.

    After learning that his troops had been severely damaged, Rommel, the top commander of the German Army in North Africa, ordered again to gather nearly a hundred tanks and two motorized infantry divisions for rapid reinforcements. In addition, about a hundred aircraft were sent for reinforcements.  .

    The German aircraft in North Africa happened to be replenished, and Rommel sent more than a dozen bombers and eighty to ninety fighter planes to reinforce the besieged German army.

    The German army believed that with these aircraft reinforcements and nearly a hundred tanks and two motorized infantry divisions sent to support the ground attack, they should be able to successfully break through. Some senior German officers even thought that maybe it could be done.  The ** team counterattacked and avenged the heavy damage they had suffered just now.

    Both China and Germany are taking action, and time is passing by.

    The besieged German troops already knew that their reinforcements were coming quickly, and there were also a large number of aircraft reinforcements. However, there were a large number of Chinese tanks around, and there was no sign of attack. These German troops could not help but look forward to it again.

    Especially as time passes, it becomes more and more beneficial to them. These German troops gradually cheer up and prepare to break through.

    As long as there are aircraft support, these German troops will be ready to break through, and they are very sure that the breakout will be successful. If a large number of ground troops arrive, they may even launch a counterattack against the Chinese army.

    The German army¡¯s idea is very beautiful.

    far away.

    There are a large number of soldiers, far apart. The soldiers are surrounding but not attacking. Many soldiers seem to be more leisurely. The soldiers have been here for nearly two hours. Many soldiers regard this as a kind of attack.  Rest.

    The commanders of the tank regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment have alsoWe have received news that a large number of aircraft from the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet are flying here to bomb these German troops.
