As brothers of the big Anglo-Saxon family, these British and American generals naturally want to be firmly united, so that they can "fight against the enemy" together, and step on all these powerful and annoying Chinese people under the soles of their feet.

But this idea can only be thought about, they no longer have the guts to confront Yang Fan and others head-on, who told them that their skills are not as good as others.

To be honest, they really couldn't understand why such a monstrous Chinese commander suddenly appeared in the poor and weak Chinese country for many years, as well as the outrageously powerful Chinese tiger army, so that they couldn't find them at all. To any tricky angle that can turn defeat into victory.

Impeccable, impeccable!

After a while, Patton broke the deadlock and said, "I agree with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang's point of view. The Chinese Huben Army and the Central China Army are not the same thing. Their performance in the Chinese domestic battlefield and the Burmese battlefield can only be described as amazing."

"Especially the air force of the Chinese Huben Army, whose combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the U.S. Air Force. Our U.S. Air Force was defeated by a group of second-rate Japanese pilots on the Pacific battlefield."

"However, the Chinese Huben Army's air force defeated the most elite pilots of the Japanese army in the Asian battlefield, so that these proud Japanese high-ranking officers dared not fight their air force head-on."

"Therefore, I have no doubt that the air supremacy in the North African battlefield must belong to the Allied forces, and the final victory must also belong to the Allied forces. There is no doubt about this."

Ted's pupils constricted, and he looked at Patton in disbelief and said, "General Patton, are you serious? Is the Chinese Huben Army's air force really that powerful?"

"Yes, that is the truth."

Patton nodded seriously, and then said: "In addition, I would like to tell you a piece of good news. Our latest American P-47 Thunderbolt fighter jets and P-51 Mustang fighter jets will soon join the North African battlefield. .

At that time, the German Air Force's Messersmitt bf-109 fighter jets will soon lose their technical advantages. "

Bf-109 fighter (also known as: Me-109), is a German single-seat single-engine single-wing all-metal piston fighter, one of the main fighters of the Nazi Luftwaffe during World War II, and one of the light fighters with the best comprehensive performance during World War II one? .

The Bf-109 fighter jet belongs to a new generation of fighter jets, with a maximum flight speed of 710 kilometers per hour. Its performance is far higher than that of the Zero fighter jet. It is the most widely used military aircraft by the Axis air force? .

In 1941, Bf-109 fighter jets began to support the Rommel Army in North Africa. The ace pilot Marseille, known as the "Star of Africa", once created a record of shooting down 12 enemy planes in one day. His Bf-109F "Yellow 14" "The landline has also become a legend in the history of air combat.

It is also because of this that the Bf-109 fighter jet has now become a nightmare for Allied pilots. Although the number of fighter jets has always surpassed the German army, its morale and combat effectiveness are far inferior.

Chapter 1316 Happy too early

"That way there's no problem at all."

Yang Fan nodded with a smile, and continued: "Once the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter jets and P-51 Mustang fighter jets enter service, there will be no suspense about air supremacy in the North African battlefield."

"Okay, I reserve my opinion!"

Ted finally lowered his noble head and had nothing to say.

"well, let's get back to business!"

Finally got rid of a thorn, Yang Fan said happily:

"Responding to the Allied Headquarters' order to reinforce the Soviet Caucasus Front Army, I decided to send more than 18 troops from the 20th Army Group under General Alexander to support to ensure the safety of the Caucasus region."

Although this will cause a huge disparity in the total strength of the enemy and us, Yang Fan has enough self-confidence and ability. Relying on the powerful air force and strong technical equipment background of the Allied forces, he will carry out extreme defense and keep control of the Suez Canal without any problem. .

After more than an hour, the meeting finally came to an end in a "pleasant atmosphere".

After the meeting adjourned and had lunch, Yang Fan called another meeting of his own generals to conduct specific discussions and deployments on a series of resolutions formed in the morning meeting, and act as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the Axis Allied Forces Command in Libya was also holding a meeting to discuss.

Rommel was overjoyed when he just received the Italian frogman troops attacking Alexandria and successfully blowing up the three main warships of the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet.

He really didn't expect that the pig teammates, who had been unable to lead him all the time, would actually play such a beautiful sneak attack, which gave the Italian navy an absolute maritime advantage in the Mediterranean in one fell swoop.

The result of this is that it can not only block the Mediterranean supply line from the UK to the mainland, but also greatly improve the sea transportation capacity on its own side.

Well, at least until the Mediterranean Fleet is replenished and strengthened, it should look like this.

In another time and space, the biggest problem of Rommel's defeat in the African battlefield was the lack of supplies.

At that time, Germany and Italy did not have all the sea dominance in the Mediterranean Sea. Submarines and planes of the British and American troops launched a massive attack on the transport ships of the Axis countries. Rommel's tanks, vehicles, and fuel were always insufficient, making it impossible to fight for a long time.

Especially when the port of Taranto was attacked, the Italian Navy suffered heavy losses, which made it even worse, so that the entire line collapsed due to insufficient supplies.

In the current time and space, the situation is much better. Although the Italian navy could not completely control the Mediterranean Sea before this, the port of Taranto has not been attacked, and the Italian navy can still basically guarantee the safety of sea transportation lines.

But the terrible thing is that in this time and space, the African Army commanded by Rommel is no longer 100, but as many as 1000 million armed personnel, plus a super strategic cluster of 1500 tanks and [-] aircraft!

Moreover, this does not include the 25 Italian Army armed personnel, more than 2800 motor vehicles, 163 medium tanks, more than 300 combat aircraft, and more than 1400 artillery pieces of various types and other heavy equipment.

To maintain such a huge legion, the supplies needed every day are astronomical.

At present, relying on strong sea transportation, it is basically possible to maintain such a large strategic cluster, but that is all. The Xinguo transport ship carried out continuous and aggressive attacks.

In fact, in addition to this, Rommel also has an aerial supply line.

In the current time and space, the German head of state attaches great importance to the North African battlefield. Not only did Rommel increase his army by one million and a large amount of technical equipment, he also ordered the German Air Force Commander-in-Chief Goering to replenish supplies to Rommel's army by air.

Goering also patted his chest and promised to airdrop 200 tons of supplies to the Rommel Corps every day, but in the end because of the joint operations of the British and American Air Forces, he did not fulfill his promise. Up to now, the maximum amount of supplies dropped in one day is only 120 tons.

Now that the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet has suffered heavy losses, the situation has suddenly opened up, and Rommel naturally has more room for maneuver.

Just as Rommel bowed his head in contemplation, an extremely fierce debate was going on in the conference room.

A group of senior generals of the Italian army insisted on going eastward immediately, conquering Egypt in one go, occupying the port of Alexandria, completely strangling the British Mediterranean fleet, and then occupying Sudan, controlling Sudan's oil fields, and then occupying Ethiopia and even the entire East Africa.

Yes, what Italy desires most at present is to seize the whole of Africa.

Controlling Africa and restoring the glory of the Roman Empire has always been the strongest obsession of Mussolini and the entire Italian high-level.

However, the senior German generals firmly opposed going south to Sudan, believing that the coalition forces should go east to Iraq and occupy and control the oil fields in the entire Middle East.

Soon, the Italian generals and the German generals had already quarreled.

It's just that they were too happy too early, and seemed to have forgotten a sufficient and necessary prerequisite: that is to defeat the allied forces in Egypt and completely occupy the whole of Egypt!

There is nothing wrong with getting Long and looking forward to Shu, but you have to get Long You first before you can use it as a springboard to attack Xi Shu!

"enough."

Seeing that the senior generals of the two armies became more and more noisy and fierce, and their words became more and more fierce, and there were even signs of fighting, Rommel finally couldn't help it, and after exiting the thinking mode, he said calmly to both sides: "Everyone shut up. ".

Rommel was not loud or angry, but he was not angry. After hearing this, the senior generals of the Italian army and the German army all shut their mouths in unison, not daring to make any more nonsense comparisons.

After the conference room became quiet again and everyone turned their gazes to him, Rommel continued:

"Now our top priority is to further control the Mediterranean, and to eliminate the Allied forces on the African battlefield as soon as possible, conquer the Suez Canal, and occupy the whole of Egypt, instead of engaging in these meaningless discussions without preconditions."

After a pause, Rommel said in a heavy tone: "According to the latest information, more than 20 elite troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Army have arrived in Egypt, and now the total strength of the Allied forces in the North African theater has reached 90!

Therefore, in the next war, we must focus on eliminating the vital forces of the Allied forces on the African battlefield, and completely capture the entire Egypt! "

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Taylor, the commander of the Italian 10th Army, answered with disdain: "Your Excellency, what are those East Asian sick men afraid of? I'm afraid their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the British servant army.

Even if they come more, what's the use?Let these sick men of East Asia be handed over to the Kingdom of Italy. "

Chapter 1317

"What, Huaxia Expeditionary Army?"

"The Chinese army actually appeared on the North African battlefield?"

"God, isn't that the legendary sick man of East Asia?"

"Yes, the Chinese army is simply vulnerable."

After Taylor's voice fell, other senior generals of the Italian Army and the German Army also covered their mouths and burst into laughter, as if they had heard a big joke.

Hearing these mocking words, Rommel frowned all of a sudden. As a senior German general, he had access to many confidential documents, so he had read many battle reports from the Japanese army and the national army, and not long ago he also received a The seal comes from the detailed information issued by Neiji Okamura himself.

So Rommel knew very well that the China Expeditionary Army led by Yang Fan was not the sick man of East Asia in the eyes of everyone, let alone a group of sheep who came to give away their heads, but a first-class army with very strong combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, most of the senior generals of the German and Italian armies are not qualified to have access to such high-level confidential information, so they don't know how powerful Yang Fan and the Chinese Expeditionary Force led by Yang Fan are.

"Shut up for me!"

Thinking of this, Rommel felt that it was necessary to have a good lesson with them, and immediately silenced the situation, and said in a very serious tone:

"General Taylor, General Denitis, why do you think this information is funny?

Are you the Chinese army or the Qing army that was slaughtered a hundred years ago?

Do you think that Huaxia is still the weak Qing government that only needed tens of thousands of allied forces to beat it to its knees and beg for mercy and cede land for compensation?

If that is the case, then you are really ignorant! "

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Rommel continued seriously: "Then I can only tell you the truth, you are all wrong, and they are very wrong!

Not long ago, I received a detailed report from my Japanese allies. In this report, the senior commander of the Japanese army emphasized the Chinese Expeditionary Force led by Yang Fan! "

"This is an unimaginably powerful modern army. They not only have a large number of world-advanced tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and fighter jets, but also have helicopters, self-propelled rocket launchers, and other advanced technical equipment that even the Third Reich is currently not equipped with. "

"This army is brave in combat, strong in will, and high in morale. It has never been defeated since the day it became an army, and it can be called invincible in all battles."

"What is even more disturbing is that the Huaxia commander named Yang Fan has an unusually keen sense of smell and strategic vision, and will always cause unexpected fatal damage to the opponent."

"Everyone should know that the Japanese army is a very powerful army. In the Southeast Asian battlefield and the Pacific battlefield, it defeated both the British and American troops, and even forced 10,000+ British troops to surrender in Singapore!"

"However, this same Japanese army has repeatedly suffered heavy losses in the army led by Yang Fan. In the Myanmar theater alone, the Japanese army lost more than 50 elite army troops, more than 2000 combat aircraft, and more than 500 tanks and chariots. In the end, only the remnants of more than [-] people managed to escape back to the Indian peninsula."

"It is no exaggeration to say that this army alone contained and blocked the Japanese army of more than [-] million troops. Even if the Japanese government wanted to use all the power of the whole country at any cost, it could not be wiped out in a short time. "

"Do you still think that such a powerful army is still the sick man in East Asia in your impression? Do you still think that they are weak and ridiculous, even inferior to the British servant army?"

There are many people who are popular, and Yang Fan has already made such a big name, it is impossible not to be noticed by the intelligence agencies of various countries.

What's more, before the departure of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, Okamura Ningji also specially informed Rommel through the German intelligence agency, hoping to kill people with a knife, so that Yang Fan and more than 20 Chinese Expeditionary Forces never returned.

"What? Is this true?"

"No way? How is this possible!"

"My God, when did the Chinese army become so powerful?"

Taylor and the others were taken aback when they heard it. Just like what Rommel said just now, his knowledge of the Huaxia Kingdom and the Huaxia Army stayed at the time when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China.

At that time, Italy only sent 85 people symbolically, and obtained extremely lucrative aggression benefits in China.

"Is there still a fake?"

Rommel snorted softly, and continued: "If that Chinese commander doesn't have enough ability, how could those proud British and Americans be easily tamed and willingly accept the command of a Chinese?"

"What, you mean that the Allied Forces in the North Africa Theater are actually commanded by the Chinese? Isn't the trusted commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in the North Africa Theater an American?"

Hearing this, Taylor was even more confused, only feeling dizzy and not enough at all.

"You only know one, not the other!"

Rommel shook his head and said: "That's right, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in the North African theater is nominally American Stilwell, and the Chinese commander is only the deputy commander-in-chief, but the actual commander in charge of the North African Allied Forces is the Chinese commander Yang Fan." !"

"How could this happen! Is this Chinese Expeditionary Army really so powerful?"

Taylor was in a mess in a gust of wind, these words really subverted his three views, and he would not be able to react at all for a while.

"Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion. I am afraid that this ancient and mysterious country has finally awakened!"

After Rommel read a few words, he emphasized in a serious tone: "In short, this is an extremely powerful army, and their arrival will definitely cause us a lot of trouble.

For this Huaxia Expeditionary Army, we must fight with [-] points of energy, and there must be no underestimation. We must pay special attention to the Huaxia Expeditionary Army! "

The combat hall immediately fell silent, and no one dared to joke anymore.

After pondering for a while, Rommel said to the German intelligence officer Fredo: "Colonel Fredo, please tell us about the specific situation of the Allied forces in the North African battlefield."

"Yes."

Fredo nodded and said: "If you add those unusable servants, the total strength of the Allied Army is about 100 million, of which the two armies of the Chinese Expeditionary Army are about 22, the 18th Army of the British Army is 20, and the British 8th Army is 30. The Eighth Army of the U.S. Army has a strength of 7, and the Seventh Army of the U.S. Army has a strength of more than 25, and it is still increasing its troops.

Hearing this, the senior generals in the hall were very calm and did not show any expressions.

Because the Axis forces on the North African battlefield had more troops, the combined German and Italian forces totaled 126 million!

After a pause, Fredo continued with a slightly solemn tone:

"In terms of technical equipment, the Allied forces have more than 4500 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, about 2200 combat aircraft of various types, and nearly [-] artillery pieces of various types!"

"what?"

"Gosh!"

At this moment, everyone couldn't sit still for an instant, and the sound of breathing and surprise began to sound in the battle hall. How could the number of technical equipment of the Allied Army be so large.

Chapter 1318 The Heart of the Mediterranean Sea

Just when everyone was having a headache, Fredo continued to throw out the news: "This is only the current technical equipment of the Allied forces. The Americans are still continuously transporting various technical equipment to the North African battlefield. The number will increase further!"
