My Third Empire

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

A hot morning in the blazing sun, everyone was dizzy for the poisonous sun. ＠The temperature of the ground is transpiring with the water vapor that is left behind, so that all the scenes near the ground are twisting with the violent air rolling.

There are large deserts in Egypt. Although there is nourishment and irrigation of the Nile River, most of the land here is still barren and barren. This is a natural desert and a desperate desert.

But in addition to the Sphinx, the Pyramid, and the Nile, Egypt also has a well-known place, the Suez Canal. This canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, and the presence of this canal is enough to make it a must-have place for soldiers.

This Suez Canal has not passed a ship for almost a few months, because the artillery position of the Third Reich was on the west bank of the canal. Unfortunately, the east of the canal was stationed by American and British artillery. Everyone did not let each other's ships pass, so it became what it is now-no one should pass by here ...

However, the Third Reich did not plan to share this world transportation hub with the United States. After Rommel ’s African Army had been silent for a long time and had accumulated enough fuel for the offensive, it was actively preparing for the battle for the Suez Canal. For this plan, Germany stocked a large amount of ammunition, and a large amount of supplies were provided to the German army in Alexandria and throughout Egypt.

Britain has arsenals in many Egyptian cities such as Cairo. Although it cannot produce large-scale weapons and equipment, it can repair tanks and aircraft. And some small workshops can also produce ammunition. Coincidentally, the defeat of the United Kingdom and the United States in the Soviet Union gave them no time to destroy these factories, so most of the heritage was owned by the Germans.

The port of Alexandria moved the supply lines of the German and Italian forces from a far rear to a position close to the front line. The supplies obtained by Germany increased exponentially, but the consumption was reduced a lot because of the shortened transportation routes on the road. Coupled with the slow oil production in Libya ’s oil fields, Rommel ’s supplies have never been so abundant.

So on this hot morning, the Germans were finally unwilling to be lonely and opened the prelude to the Suez Canal. The four German artillery regiments violently opened fire, completely breaking the tranquil atmosphere, firing one shell after another on the embankment, which caused a large amount of gravel.

In a concealed observation post on the front line, a US police officer was taken aback by the sudden artillery fire. He hurried to the observation port and picked up the telescope to observe the opposite movement, but found that the Germans did not seem to be organizing the river attack . He put down his binoculars and scolded with a curse: "Asshole, this **** Germans, can't we be honest for a while?"

Before he had complained, he saw that Germany was on the side of his levee. Tens of thousands of Italian soldiers, carrying assault boats and rubber rafts, began to rush towards the Anglo-American coalition position. Behind these Italians, German soldiers began to establish machine gun positions on the river embankment, and mortars and other weapons began to roar, trying to cover these attacking Italian soldiers.

"The enemy is attacking! Send a signal!" The US official yelled quickly. It seemed that in response to his shouting, not far from the hidden lookout where he was, an American machine gun position suddenly opened fire, and tracers swept across the not-so-wide Suez Canal, knocking several Italian soldiers to the ground.

However, as the opponent's assault boat was pushed into the canal, a large number of soldiers had jumped on the assault boat, and the firepower on the American side began to become dense. The US official saw a rubber boat packed with Italian soldiers with his own eyes. The American fire had sunk into the river. A group of heavily armed Italian soldiers sank into the bottom of the river before they could struggle a few times.

"Your infantry attack time is 3 minutes ahead, dear Marshal Garibaldi." Standing behind the artillery mirror, Rommel's mouth hung with an iconic smile and straightened up. "So my air force has not yet rushed Then, your people can only face death there alone. "

Beside him, Garibaldi said nothing on his back. It is a very uncomfortable thing to witness the slaughter of your own troops with your own eyes. The frequent contact between the German and him recently has disturbed his heart. In the difficult situation of riding a tiger, his ambitions are also slowly expanding, which makes him unable to concentrate on the military command.

Of course, the combat level of Italian troops is not as high as that of Germany. This is an objective fact after all. When they fight, they always have to make all kinds of chaos. Now this unfavorable situation is only a small scene for them. That's it.

Between the speeches, the agreed German bomber forces just passed the heads of Rommel and Garibaldi. These bomb-filled Stuca and do-217 bombers, just from the quantity and momentum, it was enough Desolate. Once upon a time, the German Iron Cross began to rule the sky of the whole world, making everyone tremble under their wings? Rommel saw the German plane passing the position ahead, and patted the dust on the legs of his pants with leather gloves with satisfaction.

"Okay now, my troops have been covered, they will capture the entire Suez Canal under your long-range fire cover." Garibaldi saw the Luftwaffe appearing in time, and his heart was suspended. He watched the U.S. military positions in the distance begin to whip up more and denser black smoke pillars, and at first the dignified expression on his face faded.

Lined up in a formation that covered the sky, the German bomber formations flew over the position where the US ** team was stationed. In the opened bomb bay, one after another aerial bombs were dropped successively, these bombs were in a free-fall form It hit the ground, and then bloomed a bunch of flowers composed of steel and flames on the ground.

One by one such flowers bloomed on the American position, and then a storm composed of shrapnel and shock waves raged everywhere. Many artillery positions that opened their camouflage and fought back were completely destroyed in this storm. These artillery positions were suddenly misfired, and the attacking Italian infantry suddenly felt a sharp decrease in pressure.

German machine guns started roaring, tracers were woven into a net of fire on the river, and Italian troops on the assault boat lowered their heads as much as possible, praying that they could get to the other side as quickly as possible. A huge water column rose on the river, several small boats around it all collapsed, soldiers struggling in the water were everywhere, and some pieces of wood on the boat that did not know where.

This was a very sudden battle. It wasn't until the German aircraft began to bombard the American large-caliber artillery positions that Mountbatten got accurate information from his headquarters. He did not know how much of Rommel's offensive force. , Only know that this time the other party does not seem to be joking.

The intelligence that the Germans are about to launch military operations in North Africa has actually been collected by the United States, including Rommel began to control the freshwater consumption of the troops a few months ago, including the large amount of oil that was used by the Germans in these months. Hoarding, these signs are all indicating that the Germans are preparing for a large-scale North African offensive.

However, there is no definite statement on where the Germans are going to attack. Some people believe that Rommel is not stockpiling materials, but that German materials are starting to run short, and Rommel has to control the consumption of troops; others suggest that the United States should do everything possible to strengthen the Suez Canal defense line.

The countermeasures chosen by the United States are actually very simple: they desperately strengthen all their defenses in North Africa, preparing the Germans to pay a heavy price when they break through these defenses: Patton, an attacking general, is transferred to India, and Mountbatten, a defense. The general became the commander of this position.

He operated it as a large bunker. In addition to laying mines and other means, he also ordered that all oil fields in the Middle East be pre-loaded with bombs, which would never leave anything to the Germans. After deploying these defensive measures, Mountbatten began to do one of the most heartfelt things-to grab crude oil in the direction of India.

For Mountbatten, all he can do now is to accumulate as much resources as possible for the post-war Britain. He did not know who would win the war in the end, and whether Icelandic Britain, his allegiance, would be orthodox.

But he didn't need to think about it at all. All he needed to do was to search for everything he could find, and then, when peace arrived, send these supplies to the only UK, and that's all. It doesn't matter whether the UK is pro-German or pro-American.

"Lonmeier couldn't bear it anymore ... I thought he would bear some more time." Mountbatten laughed bitterly, then said to the staff who came to report the beginning of the battle: "As far as the overall situation is concerned, Germany is on the Eastern Front Under tight circumstances, it is not a very rational decision to start the battlefield in North Africa. "

"General, maybe ... it was because Germany began to lack crude oil reserves, so he hurriedly ordered Rommel to seize the Middle East oil field?" The staff thought for a while and said: "It is extremely unwise to start two-line combat at this time. Choose. "

Even if Libya ’s oil fields are producing oil, it can only be Italian oil fields. Rommel used Italian crude oil to seize the Middle East oil fields at this time. In fact, it was not a decision without consideration. On the contrary, it may well be a thoughtful move by the Supreme Command. As for whether this move came to the United States or to Italy, then only ask God to go.

In May, when Stalingrad was just occupied by Germany, Rommel kicked off the battle for the Middle East.
