Chapter 492: Defeat
Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
"Suddenly! Suddenly!" On the position, the German machine gun screamed. The sudden attack made the American soldier who had just arrived in North Africa a little dizzy. They are not battle-hardened German soldiers. These new recruits from various states of the United States did not even know where the attack came from.
"We were attacked! The Germans fired from all sides! God! Now we are suppressed behind a sand dune, the other party's firepower is very violent, we can't cross the predetermined area at all!" A US official took radio to his The boss shouted. On his side, a newly-equipped American heavy machine gun team was pouring their ammunition violently, but it seemed that they were in a hurry and the bullets only knew where they were hit by the bullets.
An American tank platoon worked hard to aim at the German armored reconnaissance vehicle, but found that the main gun had no way for the fast-moving four-wheeled reconnaissance vehicle. The shells were difficult to hit a moving target. American recruits who really fight.
The American armored forces responsible for the frontal attack were even more miserable. They were stunned by their German counterparts-a dozen German tanks began to attack at a distance of almost 1500 meters. The two rounds of extreme shooting made the Americans It has paid a heavy loss of nearly twenty tanks.
Soon the first attack of the American team was brought back by the Germans, but the Americans also found that the Germans on the opposite side were not as strong as they seemed. These German opponents retreated after a limited counterattack, and began an organized retreat.
"They must have found the British team on the wing. It seems that this guy named Elvin Rommel is still a bit horizontal." Barton said while smoking his cigar, looking at the combat map to his staff. Our loss is not small. Even if the German army is weakened, it is still very combative. The German armored forces on the front are more difficult than expected. I ca n’t think of an effective way to deal with these German tanks. ”
"It may be a good idea to arrange aircraft bombing, but it is not easy to compete with the fw-190d fighter for air supremacy. Listening to British pilots, the German fighter pilots are very powerful and can skillfully control their aircraft." Said to Barton.
"The combat effectiveness is achieved. I know that the performance of German tanks and aircraft is good, but this time they are not so easy to meet us." Patton sneered and said, "Try to collect German information. This is also one of the purposes of our coming here. Today we won Rommel and it is worth celebrating with champagne! "
On the opposite side of the US team, the Germans were also confused by the American attack. Everywhere the defense line was breached and ammunition was reported. Rommel issued various orders in his command car, which stabilized the German position.
He ordered his right-wing troops to expand to the flanks, making a posture of fighting a desperate battle, alerting the 8th Army of the British to detour to his south. Then he let his left wing stand still, and he did not hesitate to take a step back after he ran out of the remaining ammunition.
Then Rommel personally led the 30 most powerful leopard tanks in his hand and carried out a counter-attack against the frontal US team. It was this anti-surprise that repelled the aggressive American forces and covered the Germans' safe withdrawal from the battle.
Immediately after Rommel's combat posture was not so elegant, he ordered the armored forces to retreat 110 kilometers backwards to join General Friedrich behind. So a retreat that was faster than he advanced was started.
While retreating, Rommel rearranged the fighting report. He found that his opponent had changed from the British to the Americans whose heads of state had been quite dreadful. These American troops are more difficult than the British counterparts, which proves the vision of the head of state, Akado, from another aspect.
"The American soldiers have more firepower than the British. Their guns are like this ..." The staff handed over a seized US military m1 Garland rifle to Rommel and continued to introduce: I heard that the United States has also just equipped it to develop against our g43 automatic rifle, which is heavier, but the performance is very good. "
In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the American soldiers under Barton, the US senior officials also took great pains. They studied the German weapons and equipment from the information provided by the British and urgently purchased a batch of m1 Garland rifles as individual weapons against the German mp-44 and g43 automatic weapons.
Of course, they also strengthened the front armor of the m3 tank, learning German methods, temporarily welded steel plates in front of the tank, and hung up spare tracks or even sandbags-but from the results of this battle, the front armor of the m3 tank is still unable A 75mm caliber cannon that resists the leopard tank's extended barrel.
More importantly, the news that American soldiers appeared on the battlefield, Rommel knew that this was the most headache. The head of state has been trying to avoid confronting the Americans head-on. Now it seems that these efforts have been in vain. The Americans have appeared on the battlefield to fight against the Germans to protect their interests in the Middle East and North Africa. Although the fighting power of these Americans is similar to that of the British, their appearance still exerts great pressure on Rommel.
Because he could not accurately estimate the strength of the British opposite, all intelligence from Italy became obsolete because of the US military. The combat effectiveness of the 8th Army of the United Kingdom must be reassessed, and the size and nature of the US Army must be investigated as soon as possible.
"Just now our fighters patrolled nearby, so we drove away the British bombers who came to harass, but good luck cannot always be with us. We must accelerate the march and throw away the British and Americans!" Rommel looked at the battle map It took a long while to stop his thoughts and said.
"It's not without good news, just reported on the radio that an investigative company joined our team." The staff pointed to the location on the map to Rommel: "They brought two armored reconnaissance vehicles with high elevation angles. A 40mm caliber artillery fired. It seems that General Frederick also anticipates that our situation is not good, so some arrangements have been made in advance. "
Rommel was even more depressed. He took off his military cap, scratched his hair, and sighed before saying, "Then it proves that the Supreme Command has known that we have lost. I failed to create a miracle, no Able to win Tobrook. "
This time the Germans were defeated, about 30 trucks were blown up by themselves, 14 tanks were destroyed or blown up by themselves, about 700 soldiers were killed or captured, 50 seriously injured were left to the British, another 200 The lightly wounded retreat with the army-of the 3,000 German soldiers advancing with Rommel, almost a third were lost in this battle.
Now he can only lead the troops to retreat nonstop, until he retreats to the vicinity of the relay station where General Friedrich is located to stabilize his position. One of the benefits of the Desert War is that if you win, you can move forward hundreds of miles in an instant, and the record sounds amazing; of course, one of the disadvantages is that if you fail, you may retreat hundreds of miles overnight, listen It's miserable to lose. But in fact, whether Rommel defeated the British army or the British army defeated Rommel, the actual results are not too large, at least much smaller than many people think.
The yellow sand is long, and the way to retreat is not much better than when attacking. In the previous days, Rommel took these soldiers to fight against the British 9th Army with perseverance. Now, the tone they have used has been used up, so the way home is even more dangerous and scary.
There were non-stop troops missing, and after a day of retreat, Rommel gathered the number of troops and found that there were only 1810 troops left in the 2,000 troops. A total of 190 people were covered up by the yellow sand or killed by the British and American troops. When one night passed, when Rommel led the troops again early in the morning, there were only 1770 troops that could be taken away.
At this moment Rommel finally realized the pain when the British 9th Army was chased and killed by himself, and finally bought lessons with blood, which once again proved the correctness of the old Chinese saying: the poor kuomo chase.
The sorrowful Rommel found that he could not even organize some of the counterattacks. The oil and ammunition in his army were almost exhausted. Even if he could repel the British and American coalition forces, he would be trapped on the way to escape due to oil problems . So he could only recede westward in a straight line without even the guts to glance back.
On the afternoon of the second retreat, Rommel finally waited for his first light. The three Crusader helicopters sent him much-needed fuel and a small amount of ammunition. Although these things were not enough for Rommel to turn back, but these supplies no doubt found hope for the German soldiers in flight.
People who flee in the endless desert will be desperate because of lack of water and food. Sometimes this kind of despair is the most deadly. Many times the dead are already on the edge of the desert, but because of their own despair fell on the last few kilometers of the road.
Rommel ’s forces were close to collapse before the helicopter arrived. The 36-hour flight reduced these elite German troops to 1,500, but these helicopters saved Rommel and gave him courage and hope.
After sending off three helicopters, the German "Desert Fox" now licks his dry lips and sits in his convertible car. He has spread out the map, thinking about how to use the fastest Speed merged with General Frederick, so he could fight his own revenge.
