Imperial Overlord

Rommel's engineering unit is working hard to erect a pontoon bridge and build a pontoon bridge over the Suez Canal that affects navigation, which is a bit of a waste of money. . fastest update

Although this canal had not passed through any boats two weeks ago, it is still very distressing to block the river in form.

However, war is war, and it cannot be cancelled just because of distress. In order to allow the German tanks to easily cross the river, the pontoon was also built very spacious.

After the 46th Infantry Division of the SS opened the canal defense line, under the cover of artillery fire, it was desperately expanding its results.

At this time, Montgomery finally realized the determination of the German army to cross the river to the death, and began to dispatch troops to try to drive the German army back to the other side.

On the one hand, in the early hours of the morning, they desperately organized sappers to erect the pontoon bridge, on the other hand, the British armored troops were aggressively heading south along the road.

Soon, the 46th SS Infantry Division collided with the reconnaissance units of the British armored forces, and the two sides fought fiercely in the road area.

"Your Excellency General!" Lieutenant General Alfred frowned, put his hand on an inconspicuous position on the map, and said, "The news that just came, hit the British armored division going south here. !"

"The 7th Armored Division? It's coming so fast!" Rommel looked at the location on the map, frowning and pressing his chin to comment.

In his plan, even if the British army went south, it would not have come in such a timely manner. The expected time of the encounter should have been around noon, but it was significantly earlier now.

"Auchinleck and Montgomery, they're really not the ones who get their name." Lieutenant General Alfred also whispered.

The enemies facing the African Legion now are obviously more cautious and more decisive than the enemies they faced before. Decisively put into their own reserves, brought a lot of pressure to the German army.

"Tell the 46th Division to hold their positions! Don't allow a step back until our tanks arrive!" Rommel finally issued a combat order that made the troops stick.

…

In fact, the front-line officers and soldiers of the 46th Division of the SS did not plan to retreat at this time. Just near the famous Suez Canal eastern road, they are using their own flesh and blood to face the British armored flood.

"Steady! Wait for them to approach!" Leaning on the edge of the roadbed, the veteran with a rifle reminded the nervous shooter beside him.

The young SS soldiers also leaned on the warm yellow sand, hiding their figure. Above them is the Eastern Highway, and not far above them are the approaching British tanks.

Because of the rush of time, the German soldiers didn't even have time to prepare the foxholes, and they encountered the British advance troops.

The opponent's tank was advancing, and he could only lean on the trembling ground, feeling the suffocating and oppressive feeling, which made the German soldiers very uncomfortable and had a nightmare.

Just as an American soldier immediately thinks he is in some unreal dream once overwhelmed by enemy fire, so would a German soldier feel the same way if an enemy tank penetrated the line of defense.

It can also be seen from this that there is a huge gap between the German army and the British army in the command and use of the tank troops and the specific combat quality of the grassroots troops.

Although the reaction speed was very fast, the British tank troops rushed to the battlefield in a timely manner, but when the troops approached the battlefield, they did not have infantry cover, nor did they deploy their search and reconnaissance troops far in advance.

If it is the German army, before the tank troops arrive, armored reconnaissance vehicles and motorcycles will frequently test near the road, and provide detailed battlefield data for the main force behind them.

It is precisely because the British armored units were annihilated by the Germans in the previous battles that the current British army was full of new recruits and had a serious lack of combat experience.

Also because of the serious lack of experience, the current novice British armored units gave their enemies the opportunity to fight an ambush near the road.

"Tutu! Tutu!" The sound of the mg-42 machine gun of the tearing machine resounded densely in the distance, and the German frontal defensive position began to attack!

The bullet hit the British tank on the road like a storm, leaving shallow bullet marks on the steel plate.

"Start!" The veteran felt the approach of the enemy tanks above his head, and also heard the sound of the machine gun positions that were actively firing in the distance to attract the opponent's attention.

He raised his rifle and put the **** on his shoulder, shouting to his companion: "Get up and attack! We only have one chance!"

The tactical arrangement in advance, after hearing the sound of machine gun fire, they will attack as soon as possible, and then retreat back.

If it is too late, the exposed machine gun positions will soon be suppressed by the machine guns on the British tanks, and then easily removed by the cannons on the tanks.

Therefore, the anti-tank team must hurry up and use the fastest speed to kill the leading British tank, and delay the speed of the British tanks that follow up.

"Cover me! Cover me!" The German soldier carrying the iron fist anti-tank bazooka adjusted his position cumbersomely, after all, the weight on his shoulders was heavy.

Because of the intervention of the fake Führer Li Le, the classic Iron Fist anti-tank rocket was directly abandoned. The so-called "Iron Fist" used by the German army is actually more similar to the "Tank Killer" in history.

This bazooka, similar to the Bazooka, has become one of the infantry anti-tank weapons of the German infantry standard.

Through the aiming hole on the bazooka shield in front of him, the anti-tank shooter finally pressed the sight on the sight on the m3lee tank that the United States aided the British army.

It has to be said that although Li Le, as a transmigrator, is very careful to avoid his own improvement becoming the butterfly wings that set off historical changes, he still changed history.

For example, the American m3lee tank, which started mass production in 1941, started mass production in 1940 in this time and space.

Originally, the United States did not have suitable weapons to assist the British army, and under the pressure brought by Li Le, the United Kingdom lost even more miserably than in history.

Therefore, in order to assist the British troops in the Middle East, the US military had to take out the m3lee tank that was still on the design drawings in advance and sent it to the United Kingdom to go directly to the battlefield to test it.

The British army in North Africa became a complete guinea pig, because m3lee only served one regiment in the United States, and most of them were given to the British army in North Africa.

As far as the current performance is concerned, it is obvious that this tank, which is already backward in design, cannot adapt to the cruel battlefield environment.

Especially the 75mm caliber howitzer designed to support infantry on the car body is simply a deadly chicken rib.

In the face of the German elite No. 3 and No. 4 tanks, as well as the more powerful Stalker tank destroyer, the m3lee tank is completely at a disadvantage.

Therefore, the US military is now developing more advanced tanks, instead of mass-producing the outdated and backward m3lee tanks. Those on the production line are entirely made to meet the urgent need for tanks in the UK.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, the electric current stimulated the rocket in the rocket launcher, causing the rocket to shoot white smoke towards the British tank on the road.

"I'm firing!" the German shooter shouted loudly as a plume of smoke spewed from the rear of the bazooka.

This kind of individual anti-tank bazooka launched with steel pipes is obviously difficult to deal with German tanks in the late World War II, but it is easy to deal with various tanks in 1940.

Now there is no heavy armored Tiger and King Tiger tanks like in 1944, and there is no such existence as Stalin 2, so the attack environment of Iron Fist is not too bad.

"Boom!" After only a short flight time, the rocket hit the side of the British tank and directly penetrated the tall and fragile side armor of the American-made tank.

It looks majestic, the bulky m3lee tank, the thickness of the armor in the most vulnerable place is only about 13 mm, and everyone understands why this tank was quickly replaced by the m4 tank.

The rocket easily knocked off the armored steel plate on the side of the tank, and then detonated the ammunition inside. In just a split second, the exploding m3lee tank was paralyzed in the middle of the road.

"Run!" The German anti-tank group began to retreat along the roadbed. Not far behind them is the main body of the German defensive position, where there are friendly forces to meet them.

However, soon a British tank rushed down the roadbed of the road, and the machine guns on the tank began to fire at the German anti-tank group.

The battle heated up at the very beginning, with British tanks rushing down the road and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com attacking the German SS soldiers deployed along the road.

The most loyal soldiers of the Führer used simple bunkers to stop the British tanks step by step. As the battle continued, this blocking became more and more difficult.

A large number of British infantry arrived, strengthening the flank cover of the British tank troops. With the follow-up of the infantry, the results achieved by the British armored forces began to increase exponentially.

The track of the tank, which was constantly rolling forward, ran over an m35 steel helmet full of blood. On the top of this helmet, the SS lightning logo of the SS is still half hung with flowing blood.

No battle can be achieved without sacrifice. The German SS fought **** battles on the Eastern Highway, while Rommel commanded his own troops and began to cross the pontoon and enter the British lines.

As usual, the Desert Fox was reluctant to wait in his command headquarters. He rode a command-type No. 3 tank, followed behind another No. 3 tank, and the third rushed through the Suez Canal.

Now, at least near the river beach, the German army also has its own tank force. The competition between the two sides for the eastern road, from infantry to infantry, is about to be upgraded to the level of tanks and tanks.
