Volume 2: My Country Chapter 556. The decisive battle is about to begin

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Now, the British's nose has been completely held by the Germans.

    Since taking over the Afrika Korps, General Ernst Brahm has launched a series of combination punches with only one purpose:

    Use a beautiful victory to stabilize the situation on the African battlefield.

    Now, based on the series of actions of the German army, as well as the continuous deciphering of German army codes and the intelligence sent back by the "fighters", the British have made a very clear analysis:

    The Afrika Korps was cut off from supplies, and the remaining supplies were only enough to carry out a medium-sized battle.  More than half of the armored vehicles no longer have the fuel to survive the war.  German and Italian generals distrusted each other, and even German and German generals distrusted each other

    Although Rommel suffered defeat on the battlefield, his understanding of the battlefield was unparalleled by few.  But now, his once closest comrade-in-arms Ernst Brahm has fired him from the military without mercy, which is tantamount to doing the British a big favor.

    The British are full of confidence in the Second Battle of El Alamein that they are preparing for. Indeed, Ernst Brahm is full of talent, brave and fearless. He has too many qualities of an excellent soldier.  However, it is almost impossible for him to win alone.

    He also needs help, but now, he has driven away his most effective helper

    The war is being prepared

    The code name for this war was "Operation Lightfoot" by the Allies.

    The name "Operation Lightfoot" has its origin.  The first to strike were the infantry, who would not trigger anti-tank mines because they were too light.  While the infantry advanced, engineers would clear a safe passage for the armor to follow.  The passage would be 24 feet wide, just enough for tanks to move in single file.  Engineers needed to cut a five-mile passage through the "Devil's Garden" - the nickname for the anti-tank mines laid by the Axis powers.  This is a difficult task

    For this "Operation Lightfoot", the Allies mobilized almost all available resources.

    The Commonwealth forces used a series of deception tactics in order to catch the Axis powers by surprise when war broke out.  Not only do they have to trick them into the location of the fight, but they also have to get them the wrong launch time.  These deceptions were codenamed "Operation Bertram."  In September, the Allies dumped discarded items, such as dismantled traveling trunks, in the north and camouflaged them to look like ammunition depots and grain silos.  The Axis forces discovered them naturally, but the Allies did not launch a large-scale attack after that, and the locations of those "munitions depots" and "granaries" did not change after a period of time. The Axis powers did not move them at all.  In view, this allows the Eighth Army to replace those wastes with real ammunition depots, oil tanks and grain silos on the front line at night without being discovered by the enemy.  At the same time, the Allies also began building a fake oil pipeline, which would lead the Axis forces to believe that the battle would begin later than the Allied planned start time, and in the south.  To further confuse the enemy, the Allies covered jeeps in the south with plywood to look like tanks, while tanks in the north were also covered with plywood to look like convoys.

    Theoretically speaking, these arrangements are seamless and can completely confuse the Germans.  But unfortunately, they encountered a magical and most terrifying enemy:

    Marshal Ernst Alexson von Brahm¡ª¡ªThe Skeleton Baron!

    In the eyes of Baron Skeleton, the British have no secrets at all.  Their attack time, attack position, and attack location were all clearly known to Skeleton Baron.

    On the contrary, the once invincible British intelligence agency is now completely confused by Germany's new intelligence agency.

    The fierce battle between the two sides has not yet begun, but the German army has already seized the initiative on the battlefield.

    Being in the same era as Skeleton Baron is a huge tragedy.  This German baron knew when and what kind of things would happen, and he knew when and where the enemy would attack.

    Isn¡¯t a commander who can predict everything the most terrifying thing?

    On October 8, 1942, the "dismissed" Marshal Erwin Rommel secretly returned to the Afrika Korps. At this time, the Allies were still completely kept in the dark.

    "Marshal Erwin Rommel, you will continue to be responsible for commanding the African Corps." In the combat headquarters, Wang Weiyi said expressionlessly.

    "Yes, Marshal Ernst, thank you for your trust!" Rommel replied so loudly.

    At this time, all the troops Wang Weiyi had at his disposal were the 15th Armored Division, the 21st Armored Division, and the 90th Light Armored Division. On the eve of the Battle of El Alamein, they had participated in the Crimean Campaign and were the strongest of Manstein's 11th Group Army.  Big departmentThe 22nd Infantry Division was adapted from the paratroopers that invaded Crete; the 164th Infantry Division during the Battle of El Alamein; the 5th Armored Army during the Tunisia Campaign, including the 10th Armored Division, and the Italian troops  .

    Wang Weiyi doesn¡¯t trust those Italians at all, but now he needs these Italians to play a role in the battle that they can¡¯t even imagine!

    His eyes swept over the German generals one by one, and finally fell on Lieutenant General Hoffmann von Waldau, who had just become the commander-in-chief of the German African Air Force: "General Hoffmann, is your air force ready?  "

    "Yes, Marshal, my air force is ready!"

    "How is that young man who is preparing to shoot down a hundred enemy planes now?" Wang Weiyi suddenly asked with a smile.

    General Hoffman was surprised that Marshal Ernst actually knew that there was such an outstanding figure in his air force. He couldn't help but said happily: "Yes, Marshal, he is ready!"

    What Wang Weiyi is talking about is Germany¡¯s new air combat hero Hans Joachim Marceiu!

    Marcelo may never know that this aerial hero, who was as invincible in the air as the "Red Baron" of the past, should have died in a plane accident a few days ago.

    But he survived not because of a miracle, but because of Ernst Brahm.

    Or to be more precise, he should be grateful to a "person" he has never seen before - Xiao Ling.

    If Xiao Ling hadn¡¯t helped his plane eliminate the technical fault in time, Marcelo would have long been buried in Africa.

    For Wang Weiyi, this is actually nothing. Just like countless people he has saved, he just saved a German hero.

    "The Air Force will be the first to bomb the British material storage warehouse!" Wang Weiyi showed a contemptuous smile: "The enemy tried their best to use those false disguises to confuse us. When we gave up the bombing, they turned the real  All the supplies and fuel have been stored, now it¡¯s time to let them reap the consequences!¡±

    Every German general has a smile on his face, yes, it¡¯s time to let the enemy reap the consequences!

    "The British are now extremely eager to fight quickly!" Wang Weiyi's face suddenly became serious again: "Our army, and our allies, have launched an attack on Iran! This will make a large number of Commonwealth troops come from  Egypt was sent to Iran to help the British defense, but they can't get away now because they must complete their so-called "Light Foot Plan"! Our mission is to prevent their plan from succeeding and defeat the enemy here!  , buy the maximum time for the German army that is attacking Iran! Generals, Iran is the most important! If you capture Iran, you can unite Africa and southern Russia into a front, and the initiative on the battlefield will be complete.  It¡¯s in our hands!¡±

    At this time, all the German generals suddenly realized and finally understood why Marshal Ernst Brahm would personally come to Africa to command the battle!

    He is making a big strategic deployment, to connect all the battlefields in Europe and Africa, and finally give the Allies a fatal blow!

    In the war in Africa, the El Alamein battlefield is not the focus. The focus is:

    To support the war with Iran!

    "The enemy has 200,000 troops and 1,000 tanks!" Wang Weiyi's voice continued to ring in the ears of the officers: "We have 100,000 troops and tanks."

    There was a smile on his lips: "The British think that we only have 500 tanks, but they are actually wrong. They don't know that the number of tanks in our hands has reached 700, and by the time the decisive battle breaks out, it will reach 800.  ! Generals, when the enemy cannot figure out our true strength and all the information they get is false information, you can imagine their embarrassment."

    The German generals laughed.

    Wang Weiyi also smiled faintly and said: "Opposite us, there are British, Australians, New Zealanders, ah, and Indians, although I think those Indians have no fighting ability at all like the Italians."

    There was another burst of laughter. If the Italians heard what Marshal Ernst said, they would be so angry that they would jump up.

    But who cares about their feelings?

    "The key to victory is in our hands, and now it's time to open the lock." Wang Weiyi's voice was so serious: "Alamein will determine the future of two battlefields, the African battlefield and the Iranian battlefield, and even  will determine the future of Germany. Therefore, my generals, I ask each of you to make 100% for our victory.Hundreds of efforts.  All for Germany!  "

    The German generals stood up and said in their most solemn voices:

    "Everything is for Germany!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
