Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The huge fleet of thirty "Super Sky Fortresses" and two squadrons of Mustang fighter jets gradually disappeared into the distance. The soldiers of the 1st Army knew that next would be their performance time.
Many commanders began to shout orders: "Comrades! Charge!!!"
The three major tank regiments and the three major mechanized infantry regiments of the 1st Group Army rushed towards the German positions one after another. The tanks of the 1st Group Army were seen in all directions.
A few kilometers away from here, on a small high ground, several senior officials of the 1st Group Army, including Comrade Wang Haiyang, the commander of the 1st Group Army, have been paying close attention to the battle situation.
Just now, planes taking off from the Persian Gulf base arrived in time. Thirty "Super Flying Fortress" bombers conducted a fierce bombing on the German army. Everyone had a clear view of the bombing situation.
Now, seeing the soldiers rushing up from all directions, everyone is happy. Everyone knows that there is no suspense in this battle. With the help of the naval fleet, their 1st Group Army has completely defeated the German army.
As for the German ground reinforcements, they have been jointly blocked by the British and American troops. It will be impossible for the German ground troops to come over for a while.
"Chief! We have a great victory. This is the first great victory of our 1st Army in the North African battlefield. We also have a good start."
"Yes." Wang Haiyang nodded, waved his hand happily, and said loudly: "Report the situation to the country, and also inform the Allied North Africa High Command of the situation, so that Montgomery can also share in our great victory."
The distance.
A large number of tanks, a large number of armored vehicles, a large number of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, a large number of armed off-road vehicles, and a large number of soldiers rushed towards the German positions from all sides.
We were only two or three kilometers away from the German position. Soon, many soldiers drove the tanks close to the German position.
As the distance got closer, the soldiers could see the entire German position more clearly. It was already a mess, with corpses and broken limbs everywhere, huge pits, tanks, and cars. Under the violent bombing just now, it was almost turned into piles of scrap metal.
Looking at the German positions smoking everywhere. Many soldiers were so shocked that they could not recover for a long time. They never expected that the German losses would be so heavy.
On the entire German position, there were only three to five thousand remaining German soldiers. And a lot of these people were seriously injured. Under such a fierce bombing, it was very normal for there to be a large number of seriously injured people.
In addition, the remaining German officers and soldiers. Some of them were injured to some extent. When the remaining German officers and soldiers saw the soldiers rushing over, these German soldiers barely resisted.
Throughout the German position, there were only a few gunshots. Soon, these sparse gunshots disappeared, and the Germans basically surrendered.
As the soldiers rushed to the German positions, the remaining German troops surrendered, and the entire battle was basically over. It ended perfectly. The fierce German army was completely annihilated under the bombing of planes and the attacks of soldiers.
*******
After the battle. On the third day, the 6th Army also began to land at this small seaport one after another, and the main force of the 1st Army rested for two days. That is, the day before the arrival of the 6th Army, it began to march north.
This small seaport called Saifaj is about 70 to 80 kilometers away from the Suez Canal. The 1st Army Headquarters was established in a small town only two or three kilometers away from the seaport. After the 6th Army arrives here, the headquarters of the 6th Army will be set up in the town, and the two army headquarters will uniformly command the battle.
On the harbor pier.
Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, took several senior officials of the 1st Group Army to the dock to greet the arrival of Chu Tianming, commander of the 6th Group Army, and his party.
When the two met, the two pairs of big hands held each other tightly. They were both old acquaintances and old subordinates of Zhang Yunfei. They were the former commanders of several columns of the 36th Group Army, and now they have very good relations.
"Old Chu! Welcome to North Africa. After you come, our strength will become even stronger."
Chu Tianming held Wang Haiyang's big hand tightly and said happily: "Old Wang, when I was still in the Indian Ocean, I heard that you had a beautiful victory. Congratulations."
Wang Haiyan smiled and said: "That happened three days ago. Now, the main force of my troops has set off. After you come, we can cooperate well in the future and fight a few more beautiful victories."
"That's right!" Chu Tianming said with a hearty smile: "Brothers work together and are more powerful than gold. Our two armies cooperate with each other. How can we still not win a mere Suez Canal?"
After Chu Tianming finished speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed loudly.Stand up, full of confidence in the future battle.
After laughing, Chu Tianming continued: "Old Wang, you don't know that many army commanders in the country are very jealous of you and me entering the North African battlefield. They have asked for war, asking to enter the North African battlefield, and even enter the European battlefield, especially It's our old acquaintance Liao Yaoxiang. I heard that he has personally asked the old chief to fight several times."
The old chief Chu Tianming was talking about was naturally Zhang Yunfei. Zhang Yunfei¡¯s old subordinates in the 36th Group Army all called Zhang Yunfei the old chief in private.
Hearing this, Wang Haiyang thought of Liao Yaoxiang jumping up and down in a hurry, and Wang Haiyang laughed again.
Wang Haiyang thought that he could be the vanguard to enter the battlefield in North Africa, which made many people jealous. Thinking of this, Wang Haiyang felt deeply proud that he could be the first to enter the battlefield in North Africa. That was the old chief Appreciate yourself.
Next, Wang Haiyang and Chu Tianming exchanged a few words, and then shook hands with the senior officials of the 6th Army and the 1st Army one by one, and finally everyone left the dock by car.
The 6th Army began to land in batches at this small seaport. It took a week for the 6th Army to arrive here one after another and complete the landings here.
During the landing of the 6th Army, the main force of the 1st Army marched tens of kilometers north and approached a small city where the German troops were stationed.
This small town called Gary has an entrance of only tens of thousands, but it is less than ten kilometers away from the mouth of the Suez Canal. The small town of Gary is close to the Red Sea. It is a small seaside town, but the town has been controlled by the German army.
There were two to three thousand German troops in the small town. The German troops defending the city saw the Chinese ** troops encircling the city. Many German troops stationed in Suez immediately reinforced Gary.
At present, there are nearly 20,000 German troops in Gary, dozens of tanks, and two to three hundred large and small artillery pieces. In addition, the German army knows that the Chinese ** team has a large number of tanks. These defensive German troops have also deployed a large number of 37 mm and 50mm combat anti-aircraft guns. In addition, more than a dozen 88mm anti-aircraft guns have been deployed.
The German anti-tank artillery is the main anti-tank weapon. The German army has more than 100 anti-tank artillery. In addition, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun also has excellent anti-tank capabilities.
After the main force of the 1st Group Army approached the small town of Gary, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they conducted careful reconnaissance first. Several reconnaissance planes conducted reconnaissance over Gary every day.
After several days of investigation, the basic situation has been clarified, and the German army has not sent any more reinforcements. The German army in Gary has maintained its strength at nearly 20,000 these days.
There are only about 100,000 German troops in North Africa. Originally, they basically maintained a strategic balance with the British and American coalition forces, and no one could do anything about the other.
With the arrival of the Chinese ***, the German army was hit hard by the Chinese *** a few days ago. The German army knew that the Chinese *** was going to attack Gary on a large scale, and the target might be the Suez Canal. However, the German army really couldn't spare any effort. troops.
The rest of the Italian army and the German army have been completely restrained by the Allied forces in North Africa and can no longer reinforce the small city of Gary.
Not only were they unable to reinforce, the rest of the German army even felt in danger. As a large number of tanks were destroyed by the Chinese *** last time, and two entire elite infantry divisions were surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese ***, the North African Germans felt that their strength had been increased. of weakened.
Originally, seeing that the Chinese ** team had been standing still after reaching the outskirts of Gary, Rommel wanted to dispatch a unit to sneak attack the 1st Army. However, later, Rommel found that he really could not mobilize any troops.
Rommel found that he could dispatch at most a few thousand troops for a sneak attack, but what was the use of such a troop of several thousand men? Outside the city of Gary was the main force of the 1st Army, which exceeded the 40,000-strong army. If you want to attack by surprise, you will need at least a force of 10,000 to 20,000 people.
Without troops, Rommel could only sigh, thinking in his heart that after the arrival of the Chinese *** team, it might be the last straw for him. The strategic balance in North Africa was completely broken, even as one of the three most powerful generals of the German army. , Rommel was also somewhat pessimistic.
The 1st Army that surrounded Gary, after careful reconnaissance and calm preparation, launched the attack after surrounding Gary for five full days.
At this time, the 6th Group Army had completed landing in Sefaj in batches.
On April 8th, it was just dawn.
On several artillery positions of the 1st Group Army, the heavy artillery has taken off its camouflage net, and its thick muzzle is pointed into the distance. On the positions, many soldiers are busy.
Today, the 1st Army officially started its attack on the German troops stationed in Gary. First, there will be a violent shelling, using heavy artillery to destroy the German peripheral defense lines.
The German troops stationed in Gary were poorly equipped?? However, the situation of the German army has been clearly detected long ago, and even the German heavy artillery group has also been clearly detected.
The German troops stationed in Gary, numbering nearly 20,000, are equipped with between 70 and 80 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of 100 mm or more. They have constructed a huge heavy artillery group position. According to the combat plan, the 1st Group Army will defeat this German army as soon as possible. Heavy artillery group.
