Imperial Overlord

: Four hundred and thirty-six crossing the river

The camera is once again pulled back to North Africa, or back to where North Africa meets the Middle East. There is a decent name here, called the Suez Canal, but on both sides of the canal, most places are still yellow sand.

Rommel finally decided to attack. Under the circumstance of insufficient logistics, and when the cars and supplies in his hand were not sufficient, he started a gamble-style attack.

Even though he deeply trusted the Führer in Berlin, Rommel was not changed by a fake Hitler in just a few months.

After hesitating for a week near the Suez Canal, he finally couldn't hold back the beast in his heart, and fired a shot that made the Supreme Command and the General Command tremble.

The hot temperature in North Africa has not changed because it is already the end of November. It is still very hot here, and it is still a piece of yellow sand.

The German soldiers began to forcibly cross the Suez Canal in a selected area, and they pushed the rafts that they barely managed into the river despite the moderate fire of the British.

Since the German advance along the Suez Canal more than two weeks ago, the artificial canal has been devoid of any ships.

Therefore, at least these tiny rafts have given life to the Suez Canal again and made it alive.

Yes, it is really vigorous, and every now and then a soldier on the raft will be shot and fall into the water, and the blood will stain the river red, making everything here smell of life.

Or more intuitively describe the smell of sulphur in the air and the blood in the river. It is not nurturing life, but devouring the vitality of others.

"Keep your head down! If you don't want to die!" Leaning in front of the raft, the German non-commissioned officers reminded their men loudly.

Although they have experienced hundreds of battles, the German soldiers on the battlefield in North Africa have really not much experience in this kind of river crossing. Most of the time, there is no water source here, let alone rowing in the precious water source.

Even bitter sea water is still a valuable asset here. After a person has washed his clothes with sand five times in a row, being able to soak his skin with sea water is a wonderful luxury.

"Tutu! Tutu!" On the opposite sand bar, the tracer bullets swept down like raindrops, hitting the sandbags in front of the raft and the surrounding water.

Trying to lower their bodies as much as possible, the German soldiers frantically shook the wooden oars in their hands. They hoped that their raft could reach the other side quickly, so they rowed desperately.

"Tut tug! tug!" The German MG-42 machine gun roared, which was different from the sound of the machine gun on the opposite side. The bullets covering the river crossing hit the sand bar, splashing a cloud of smoke.

With the crushing rate of fire and the numerical advantage, the German machine guns quickly silenced the opposing machine gun positions.

At this time, the German soldiers rowing seemed to have found an opportunity and began to swing their oars more greatly. Let the raft approach the opposite shore faster.

As far as their field of vision could see, the smoke bombs thrown by the Germans had formed a curtain wall, blocking the sight of the friendly forces and the sight of the enemy.

Not being able to see the situation on the other side, nor how solid the enemy's position is, is indeed good for maintaining morale. Coming to the shore in the fog, the German soldiers finally regained their down-to-earth feeling.

It was the same familiar smell, although the bodies of the companions lay at their feet, but the German soldiers immediately found the feeling of attacking on the other side.

When the raft hit the river beach, the German soldiers lying down on the raft jumped up by inertia and started their attack.

Without any hesitation, the machine gunner swiftly carried the machine gun on his shoulders, the sub-shooter picked up the ammunition box and followed him, and the speed of the two landing on the shore was not even more than 2 seconds.

"Move! Keep moving!" The non-commissioned officer leaned against a corpse with the MP-40 submachine gun in his hand, waved to his soldiers, and loudly reminded them to avoid.

The MP-40 submachine gun has just been distributed to the Afrika Corps. Like the STG-44, the German army is working hard to increase the popularity of automatic weapons in grassroots troops.

The Fuhrer therefore pinned his hopes on three weapons: the MP-40 and STG-44, and the G-43 semi-automatic rifle, which is still in design and production.

For some reason, the Fuhrer believed that the US military would invest a lot of semi-automatic weapons in the war, and its ammunition dumping ability would be more than twice as powerful as that of the German army.

With this conviction, the Führer is determined to increase the production of ammunition in the country and to increase the rate of popularization of automatic weapons in the army.

The standard configuration of the infantry squad of the first class of troops finally determined in the army is a squad MG-42 light machine gun, four Mauser 98K rifles, two submachine guns and three STG-44 assault rifles.

But at present, it seems that this configuration can only be used as the obscenity of the data party in a short period of time, and it can be barely imagined in the minds of some logistics supervisors and senior generals.

At present, the speed of reloading of the troops is not fast. The front-line troops basically continue an unwritten weapon allocation plan: the troops that get assault rifles are temporarily not equipped with submachine guns, and the troops that get submachine guns will not be assigned assault rifles for the time being.

Even so, weapons and equipment are still stretched thin. If many troops have MP-38 submachine guns in their hands, they must hand them over before they can be replaced with MP-40 or STG-44...

As the African Corps under Rommel, who fought far away in a foreign country, being able to get a batch of MP-40 submachine guns is already the best evidence that transportation conditions have improved significantly.

The smoke still had time to dissipate with the wind direction, and the British garrison position above the sand bar could already see the enemy in front of him clearly at this time.

But things are always relative. When they can see the blurry figures of the German soldiers, the German soldiers can also see the British soldiers on the sand bar against the light.

"Bah!" The German soldier with the Mauser 98K rifle hit the British soldier on the sand bar in the distance with one shot.

And the German soldiers who had already established a firm foothold near the river beach have also begun to use the bombs in their hands to open up a new battlefield for the subsequent attacking troops.

"It's going to explode!" The engineers knelt down on one knee and loudly reminded the comrades around him that the bullets flew past him and hit the yellow sand beside his feet, making a clanging sound.

He connected the battery in his hand, activating the blasting device that was connected to the wire and had been arranged in the distance.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The explosives were activated by the current and began to explode violently one by one. The sand bar was blown out of shape, and the British trenches above collapsed, carrying countless British corpses.

The explosion was so violent that the sand flew directly onto the river beach where the German army was located, and countless dust flew up.

The barbed wire has been violently broken, and the British army has not laid so many mines near the defense line. So now the situation facing the German army is very simple, so simple that there is no need to think about it.

"Attack! Attack!" The German non-commissioned officer climbed up from behind the corpse and commanded loudly with a submachine gun. The soldier who was also concealed beside him also stood up and took steps to run towards the gap.

The British machine guns on both wings finally realized the seriousness of the problem or the British machine gunners had just woken up from the shock of the explosion, and the machine gun positions on both sides began to cross their firepower.

Dense ammunition flew from the flanks, and the German soldiers charged forward fearlessly. They run with their weapons in hand. Finally rushed to the dead end of the opponent's machine gun shooting.

"Tutu! Tutu!" Coming to the flank of the British trench, the MP-40 submachine gun in the hands of the German sergeant became a deadly weapon.

One of the reasons the submachine gun is the most feared weapon in the trenches is that its rate of fire is so overwhelming.

Ten infantrymen in a trench may be suppressed by a submachine gun and unable to lift their heads, which makes it impossible for the defenders in the trench to kill the rushing enemy in a short time.

As long as a gap in the position cannot be quickly smoothed out, that gap will become a weakness. When this weakness is infinitely magnified, the entire trench will collapse.

"Extend the artillery fire! Cover the brothers on the other side to expand the victory! If nothing else, this place will be ours this afternoon!" Watching his soldiers hit the other side and blow up the sand dam, the 46th SS Division's The division commander handed the telescope to the adjutant beside him.

As a newly established unit, it is also the unit that the head of state personally gave number 46. The SS African Division has always considered itself the best of the best.

In fact it is true~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Compared with the 90th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht, which also fought in North Africa, the fighting style of the 46th SS Infantry Division is more courageous, and Rommel is more willing to use the 46th SS Infantry Division. The infantry divisions knocked on the opponent's lines.

A few minutes later, the Italian artillery units supporting Germany began to extend their fire, and black smoke rose from behind the British positions.

At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that this line of defense may be over. So did the British defenses, who soon found their reinforcements delayed by enemy fire.

There was chaos in the trenches. Although the German army did not use the most terrifying armored units, the infantry's attack was still extremely sharp.

The British army was constantly retreating, while the German support artillery was precisely and continuously extending backwards. An hour later, the Germans saw the British road, that very important road!

"Report to General Rommel! We have already attacked that road! The enemy's line of defense has been completely cut off by us!" The German soldiers with the radio station on their backs leaned on the roadbed and loudly reported the latest results of the troops.
