Redemption of WWII

Chapter 33 Pursuit

Everyone has no objection to Meng Ge's order, one is because the attack has already paid a heavy price. 【】Casualties alone reached nearly 3 people in one day.Of course, you can't tell the truth when you announce it to the outside world. At most, you can only announce the death toll.As for those who were seriously injured, I'm sorry that I have to wait until your death to announce your news.At that time, there is still a war there, and you will be counted as the dead there.Even if it doesn't work, can I still report it as missing?If your family members make trouble, they will give you the name of a surrendered German. I don’t believe you can still go to the Germans to check.

As for the Ministry of the Army, it is even easier to handle. Among the generals in the army, there are not many pickling activities.Other outsiders don't know the truth here, but for Meng Ge, who has been in the army all his life, it is nothing to worry about.If your Ministry of War really pushes my brother Meng into a hurry, everyone will die together.If you want to be dismissed, everyone will be dismissed together. If you want to lose your life, everyone will lose together. If you want your family to collapse, everyone will collapse together. Anyway, Brother Meng, my wife has passed away, and no one is afraid of being single.So the matter of concealing the number of casualties is that the Ministry of the Army will not care if it knows about it.

There is also the media, several military reporters from the group army headquarters are all direct descendants of Meng Ge's direct descendants.The strict-mouthed ones are more solid than the agents of MI[-]. As for the reporters from domestic and international major media who came to interview them, they didn't eat, drink, and entertain them.Obedient ones are of course easy to handle, easy to pick up and send off before leaving and send 'souvenir products'.As for the disobedient ones, it's easier to deal with. Don't you want to know the truth? Just send them to the front line and it's over. The German snipers will know how to deal with those who like to show off.

It is also very particular about the lost weapons and tanks.All the tanks and vehicles that were hit cannot be reported as scrapped. They can only be reported as losses after the overhaul is completed and they cannot be driven.Therefore, it is included in the losses reported by the group army.The losses of tanks, personnel, and equipment were not many.And Churchill and the big bosses of the wartime cabinet were also very clear about these things, and generally would not use these things to talk to an army commander.All they wanted was victory, the glory of beating the Germans.

The reason why no one objected to the second point is that Meng Ge is definitely a stubborn donkey.No one dares to object to what he believes.Those who oppose it will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Renton, the former commander of the 7th Armored Division, was dismissed as an example.The reason was that he made a mistake when he first met with the army commander.When the offensive was about to be launched, he said, the only question to be decided was who would lead the armored forces against Rommel.Montgomery told him, "Our tanks will not attack, but let Rommel run into him." At this time, Renton insisted on his own opinion and argued with Montgomery. Well, Horrocks takes over.Of course, this is only one of the batch of commanders who were dismissed.

The third and most important point is that defeating the Germans requires evidence.For example, how many German and Italian troops were captured, how many tanks were destroyed, and how many cannons were captured.Not only the Ministry of War, but even Churchill and the wartime cabinet must investigate these issues clearly.They can hide the loss for you, but you have to make them look good.Therefore, according to Meng Ge's character, he must have fought steadily, but now that the loss is so large, it would be unjustifiable if only a few German and Italian soldiers were captured.

Even if Churchill and the War Cabinet never fought again, the distinction between being routed and a planned retreat could still be distinguished.Not to mention the prime minister who planned such a retreat as Churchill, who planned the 'dynamo'.

A large-scale pursuit battle began, because the Sahara Desert happened to be an ideal area for armored forces to operate.So the advance speed of the armored forces is quite fast.Along the way, the places where the troops passed were full of burned tanks, cars, and artillery.There are also discarded infantry guns, mortars, clothing and more.The various chasing troops also naturally counted these into their own battle results.However, I have never seen a few soldiers of the German-Italian Allied Forces.Not even a slight resistance was encountered.However, the commanders on the front line will not make mistakes. The telegrams reported to the group army all said how many enemies were defeated, especially how many tanks were destroyed.

The Mongol Army Command was ecstatic when they received the telegram from the front line, and they were full of confidence in defeating Rommel one by one. The total number of destroyed German tanks returned by each front finger within 24 hours has reached as many as 400.This number surprised Meng Ge. According to the investigation of the intelligence department, the German-Italian coalition forces had less than 600 tanks in total.On the flat desert terrain, except for a few places, it is basically dangerous.The power of the tanks can be maximized, and within 24 hours more than two-thirds of Rommel's tanks were reimbursed. It cannot but be said that this is excellent news.It can be said that Rommel's reinforcements are not afraid when they arrive in Mengge. The German-Italian coalition without tanks is like a tiger without teeth, and there is no threat at all.

Meng Ge was immediately surrounded by great joy. Now Meng Ge has lost his beloved wife.The only thing that can make Meng Ge happy is to defeat a powerful opponent on the battlefield. As a professional soldier, this is the meaning of Meng Ge's existence.

Hold back your excitement.Meng Ge pretended to be very calm and said, "Immediately order all the infantry divisions to speed up and follow up the attack of the armored units so as to carry out 'smashing' combat operations. In addition, order a logistics supply convoy to increase the supply of fuel and medicine to the front-line armored units." supply."

"Yes, General." The staff officer replied quickly.

"Additionally, send me a report to the War Cabinet that the present campaign has lasted 10 days, during which all officers and soldiers have fought bravely, causing the enemy to suffer great losses. The enemy has now reached the breaking point and is retreating on the lookout. All attacks The troops attacked the fleeing enemy troops westward along the main coast road, causing heavy casualties. The enemy is under our control and collapse is imminent. I am calling on all officers and soldiers to continue to exert pressure on the enemy without letting up for a moment .We may capture the enemy's entire Panzer Army. I believe that under the offensive of the heroic soldiers of the British Empire, Rommel will be defeated. Soon Africa will return to our occupation. God bless Britain, God bless the king." An impassioned letter The electricity burst out of Meng Ge's mouth in an instant, without any intention of saving telegraph fees.

Soon this telegram, which historians call "Ah Lehmann's Great Victory", was sent out.Meng Ge finally showed a rare smile on his face. Regarding the domestic reaction in the future, Meng Ge can imagine with his toes.It is not impossible to go up to another level in the military rank, and maybe it is not impossible to leapfrog to become a field marshal.As the first general to win the war, even the royal family is expected to grant the title of nobility.Such an honor has been achieved by no one in the army for nearly 20 years, and this time he will be filled by me, Mongo.

What a glorious thing that should be. It is estimated that when the time comes to see members of the royal family, they will no longer have to bow their knees as before.Why, I was injured in the First World War, and I also made contributions in North Africa. Even the British Empire was saved by me. I have the qualifications.Thinking of himself walking proudly on the marble floor of Buckingham Palace, the heads of respectful domestic nobles were on both sides, and the king also stepped down from the throne to shake hands with him.Every noble lady had a shy smile on her face.

Just when Meng Ge wanted to die, crystal saliva was about to flow from the corner of his mouth.The sound of a cannon explosion interrupted Meng Ge's imagination, followed by intense gunshots.Then several violent explosions came from the barracks of the communication company next to it.

Meng Ge couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said to everyone, "What's going on?"

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and the night had already fallen on the headquarters.Everyone was stunned by the sound of explosions and gunshots from outside, and when they heard Meng Ge's question, they quickly picked up the phone to inquire about the situation.But many calls were not answered at all, and the line had no signal.The entire headquarters suddenly became a mess.The gunfire became more and more intense at this time, and the sound of cannon explosions was heard from time to time.Some guns even hit the vicinity of the headquarters.The aftermath of the explosion directly shook the headquarters tent.

"Hurry up and take cover, there is shelling." Major General Guingamp, the chief of staff, directly picked up two British steel helmets, put one on Meng Ge's head, and armed himself with the other.Then he dragged Meng Ge under the table involuntarily.

Montgomery was immediately unhappy.Xin said, "My great image has been ruined by you." However, facing the good intentions of this confidant, he did not refuse.Thinking depressedly under the table, the German troops popped out there at this time.They all touched my headquarters.

But the gunshots are all machine guns and submachine guns made in the UK.It can't be that the army rebelled.If I really rebelled, I would lose all my old face.Hey, it's also my fault that I didn't take the pain and didn't replace all the commanders of the troops.

The gunfire outside was getting louder and closer.Along with the sound that came, there was still the sound of the explosion of the 2 guns of the 'Matilda' 40 tank, and the unique and dull hissing sound of the coaxial machine gun of the tank.

Hearing the sound of the 'Matilda' 2 tank, Meng Ge was even more sure that this was a mutiny of his troops.I wondered how this Gan Gang commanded the troops into a hurry.He even opened fire on my headquarters. Guingamp is still incompetent as the chief of staff of an army group.In the future, the only way to take the blame is to take Gangang as the culprit. As long as the fire in the army subsides and the situation stabilizes, we can slowly find them to settle the score.

If these thoughts were known to Guingamp, he would die unjustly.That's right, no matter which order was not carried out according to Meng Ge's intention, now that something goes wrong, he will turn his face and deny anyone.This is even more resentful than Dou E.

Just as Meng Ge under the table was about to send someone to investigate the situation, a soldier hurried in.When I just ran in, I was a little dumbfounded when I found that there was no such a large headquarters, and it was empty.That's right, everyone is under the table, how could he find it.The personnel of the various headquarters also learned from their commanders, and all got under the table.

Still Meng Ge's sharp eyes, he saw the British soldier at a glance.Quickly asked, "Soldier, what's going on outside. Why did we get caught by our own people?"

Only then did the British soldier notice someone under the general's desk.Looking closer, it turned out to be their supreme commander and chief of staff.He quickly stood at attention and saluted the desk.Under the narrow desk, Meng Ge also returned a military salute with difficulty.

I only heard the soldier say, "Report to the general, there is an unidentified army outside. They are attacking us, and they still have the cover of tanks. The captain of our guard has died, and the phone can't be reached. Brothers are about to die Stop it, our deputy captain asked me to notify the headquarters to transfer as soon as possible."

When Meng Ge heard the bad news, he immediately rolled his eyes and passed out.
