Redemption of WWII

Chapter 62 Plan of Attack

The British Seventh Armored Division was now faced with a chosen path. 【】The first is to turn around and go back to catch up with the German armored units that just passed here, and engage in a tank battle in the desert with these German armored units.As a result, it is very likely that both sides will suffer, and the Seventh Division will be severely damaged within a period of time.

The second is to continue to move forward. The German tank units have already moved towards the rear of the British army. 'Brian' judged that there could not be many tanks in the rear of the Germans, or the infantry units left behind by the tanks. Or a convoy of supplies for the tanks.

After some careful consideration, 'Brian' chose the second path. The possible result of this path is that the British army's army headquarters in 'Ah Lehmann' was occupied by the German army.It is also possible that the British Seventh Division broke through Rommel's last line of defense, forcing Rommel to mobilize tank troops to come back to rescue.The key here is who succeeds first.The distance marked on the map is obviously more effective against the British Seventh Division.

The Seventh Division is less than 50 kilometers away from the area where the German army may build a defense line, and the German army that just left here is still 200 kilometers away from 'Ah Lehman'. 'Brian' even went to sleep after ascertaining the German defense line before attacking, and the German army was at least dozens of kilometers away from 'Ah Lehmann'.

Dare to disregard the safety of his own high command, and deliberately attack the German defense line that is the same as the decoration.It cannot but be said that 'Brian' military attainments have risen to a very high level.

If other generals would choose first, it would be to return to aid their own high command.Regardless of whether they can be rescued or not, with this positive attitude, their supreme commander will not blame them.However, 'Brian' disregarded the safety of his own high command and deliberately broke through the enemy's last line of defense, which was somewhat unacceptable.Doing so is obviously risky and opportunistic.Even if he can win in the end, the Supreme Commander will still have a small lump in his heart. Of course, it is inevitable to wear small shoes for 'Brian' in the future.

In my opinion, what 'Brian' did was the right thing to do in this place.It is also the only way for the British army to win this battle.As long as the German defense line in front is broken through again, there will be nothing in front that can stop the advance of the British tanks.The front of the British army will be directed at 'Tobruk' which has been occupied by the German army for 3 months.German supplies would be completely cut off.At that time, no matter how many tanks the German army has, without fuel supplies, they will all become a pile of scrap metal.

The German army can only retreat to Syria. When the time comes, there will be no vehicles, no oil and fresh water. The German army is estimated to be submerged in this vast sea of ​​sand.

'Brian' has a very poisonous vision, and Rommel's weaknesses are clearly analyzed by him.The reason why Rommel decided to use the flesh and blood of soldiers to block the footsteps of British tanks is that there is no way.

The [-]th and [-]th Armored Divisions of the British Army, which had lost contact with the Army Group Headquarters, unexpectedly got in touch through microwave radio.The commander of the [-]th Division, 'Brian', was taken aback when he heard that the [-]th Division had come into contact with German tank units.

The division commander of the Tenth Division 'Alexander' certainly did not dare to conceal the situation.'Brian' was slightly relieved when he heard that it was nothing more than German shooting on the move.But 'Brian' almost bit his tongue off when he heard the result of 0vs220.

'Brian' said in his heart, "Alexander, what are you doing? Are your tanks driven by a group of pigs? Even if the pigs drive them, the result of 0vs220 will not appear. You also shoot while walking. Tanks rearwards, let the Germans approach them with their cannons."

Of course those words 'Brian' wouldn't say on the radio.However, 'Brian' was still secretly grateful for his decision not to attack the passing German tank troops rashly just now.

Soon, 'Brian' found the location of the 50th Armored Division on the map. The [-]th Armored Division was less than [-] kilometers away from him, and the location was to the south. The microwave station was able to contact him at such a distance. Not to mention a miracle.The position is closer to the line of defense that Rommel may have set up than himself.So a bold plan was formed in the heart of 'Brian'.

Soon 'Brian' said to 'Alexander', the division commander of the [-]th Division on the radio, "Dude, you are really miserable. If this is the case, you can't explain it to the supreme commander." Well, he's just a brigade commander, and he's a step behind the division commander of 'Alexander'. In the past, 'Brian' didn't dare to call 'Alexander' like a brother.But it's different now, both of them are commanders of armored divisions, and 'Brian' has a lot more tanks than 'Alexander', so what 'Brian' said is not particularly exaggerated.

'Alexander' replied, "Yeah, I'm worried about what to do now. I want to attack but the tanks are gone, and I want to retreat but there is no order from the headquarters. Brother, tell me what I should do." 'Alexander' is also doing the same now. He went to the doctor in a hurry, and he was willing to try any method as long as it could get him out of the predicament.

'Brian' said slowly, "I think, man, it's impossible for you to hide the situation now. But you can't retreat."

"Oh, why can't I retreat?" 'Alexander' asked.

'Bryan' replied, "Think about it, if you go back, you will definitely not be able to hide the results of the battle. When the time comes, the hat of defeat will be directly on your head. It is estimated that dismissal will be light, and it may be Sent to court martial."

"Military court, ah, ah, brother, you have to save me, brother. For the sake of the party and the country, give me a hand." Alexander was really anxious, and his mouth was full of movie lines.

"Don't worry, I have a plan, you follow my plan, no matter if it succeeds or not, you will be fine when you go back."'Brian' said sincerely.

"Oh, what's the plan. Tell me about it." Alexander said eagerly.

"It's like this. Your position has been exposed now, so the German army may already know your offensive line. But you have to continue to attack forward, and the attack must be strong, and all your firepower will be suppressed at once. Above. Forcing other German troops to come for reinforcements," said 'Brian'.

"What man, are you throwing the dude into the fire pit? Now I only have a few 'Matilda' 2 tanks left. This is all my firepower now. The remaining 35 French 'Carl 1's The 'type tanks are still in good condition. But those old antiques don't need to be hit by German cannons, even a German long-handled grenade can knock out one. I also forced other German troops to come for reinforcements. It is estimated that the German troops in front of the line of defense will give me Killed, there is no need for reinforcements at all." Alexander said almost crying.

"What's your hurry, I haven't finished yet," said 'Brian'.

"Oh, oh, you continue to say, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." Alexander bald and turned into the famous Mr. "Not in a hurry".

"Well, I'll send 50 of the newest 'Sherman m4' variants to reinforce you, and you mix these 50 'Sherman' tanks with dozens of your tanks, pretending to be an attack The vanguard of your army, and attack the German positions together. Then let the troops behind your armored vehicles drag some debris, and raise a lot of dust behind the attacking troops, so that the Germans mistakenly think it is the follow-up brigade. Put The Germans are all attracted," said 'Brian'.

"Oh, so what?" Alexander asked.

"As long as you can attract a large number of German troops to your front, I can take advantage of the situation to break through other weak spots of the German army, and go around to the back of the German army in one fell swoop. When the time comes, the German army will surrender. Surrender, I guess it won't take much time to resist." 'Brian' said.

When Alexander heard that it would be a good idea to do so.When the time comes, as long as the German army in front of us can be taken down, the headquarters will no longer pursue the issue of the loss of tanks. There is no reason not to lose in a war.Although there were a lot of losses, 'Alexander' was able to become a division-level cadre, and he was a very capable person, and there were people in the Ministry of War who spoke for him.But the premise must be to win the immediate battle.

Did 'Brian' really want to do Alexander this favor, of course not. 'Brian''s real intention was to let Alexander attract a large number of German defenders, while he led the brigade to directly break through the German defense line.These are the same as the previous plan, but after breaking through the German defense line, 'Brian' has no intention of besieging the German army in front of Alexander at all. 'Brian' knew that with his tanks and armored infantry alone, it was impossible to wipe out the huge German army in front of him. Armored troops of the German army.At that time, it would no longer be to encircle and annihilate the German army, but to send dumplings to the door for people to make dumplings.

The real intention of 'Brian' is, after breaking through the German army's defense line, he will directly kill the German army's logistics supply stronghold 'Tobruk' without stopping, and cut off the German army's supply line.Thus realizing the plan to encircle and annihilate the German army in North Africa.In that case, he would become a hero of the British army in North Africa, and even Meng Ge probably couldn't compare to him.It is estimated that his title of nobility can be sealed by the king again.And he no longer has to bear the name of a nobleman, but has become a real nobleman.

As for 'Alexander' tens of kilometers away, 'Brian' is not very worried.Although 'Alexander' will most likely be taken out by the Germans.That can only blame 'Alexander' bad luck.

Of course, it would be best for Alexander to die in battle, the dead would not talk nonsense.But even if Alexander did not die and was captured alive by the Germans, it is estimated that the Germans would not easily let him speak.In case Alexander returns to the army headquarters alive, 'Brian' is not afraid. No one likes a guy who loses a battle and talks nonsense.

Alexander hurriedly thanked 'Brian' on the radio, "Thank you, (Fan Wei's tone)"

Alexander was sold by 'Brian' in this way, and he counted the banknotes for 'Brian' with great joy.
