Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Men don't cry when they have tears, unless they are very excited.

This short letter of a few hundred words is like a fire in winter. The blazing flame burns Li Sifu, making him, an iron man, instantly tender and affectionate.

Although there is no personal relationship between the lines, let alone a pledge of eternal love, it is enough for Li Sifu, a single dog, to eat dozens of catties of dog food.

After crying enough, Li Sifu carefully folded the letter paper and put it in an envelope, then took out the photo and laughed foolishly.

"My god, I finally called me, thank you Traveler! You have worked hard, you have worked hard."

Waiting anxiously for a long time, worrying for a long time, until there were not many people on the playground, Zhang Milong finally heard his name, and Dang even showed a cheap smile and stretched out his hands.

"You kid, hurry up and have fun secretly, and marry a capable daughter-in-law!"

Niu Bo nodded with a smile. Naturally, he paid special attention to and cared for this soldier king who he personally subdued, and knew more about the details of his life.

"Thank you for taking care of the traveler, I will definitely do a good job!",

After receiving the letter, Zhang Milong clasped his hands again to express his thanks, and then impatiently dragged the envelope and ran to the dormitory.

"My god, are you pregnant with twins? Is this, this, is this true?..."

Tear open the envelope like a wolf like a tiger, pick up the letterhead and read it, Zhang Milong quickly grasped the important point, and screamed in surprise.

It turned out that Shangguan Jieci mentioned in her letter that she recently went to the military hospital for a pregnancy test, and after a B-ultrasound, it turned out to be twins, so she couldn't wait to write the good news in the letter.

In order to allow soldiers who are thousands of miles away to receive letters from home in time, Yang Fan specially opened regular flights and transformed a long-range bomber into a special postal express plane.

After installing two auxiliary fuel tanks, this postal express plane can fly directly from Egypt to Myanmar, and the whole journey takes just over 12 hours.

Well, it is a bit of a luxury to do so, but it is really worth it, the effect is definitely just right!

"Wow, my daughter-in-law is really capable!"

"Haha, my Zhang family finally has a queen!"

"Hey, I didn't expect that I was so capable that I made a double-cannon!"

After reading the whole letter, Zhang Milong cried out in excitement, feeling so beautiful in his heart.

For a long time, the words "there are three kinds of unfilial piety and no descendants are the greatest", seemed to be a heavy mountain on his shoulders, and he was really worried that several generations of the Zhang family would be buried in his hands.

It's all right now, my wife broke the twins, logically speaking, there should be one with a handle, and it shouldn't be so "reciprocated" that both of them are girls, right?

Zhang Milong thought so.

"Oh my god, Xiao Zui is pregnant? Haha, I'm going to be a father!"

"Dad, Mom, you must take good care of your health. My son will definitely make great achievements and shine in the family. When I come back, after we have won the victory completely, my son will definitely honor you two elders."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Situations like Li Sifu's and Zhang Milong's happened repeatedly and were staged by many officers and soldiers.

"The beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold"!

These family letters full of longing, affection, encouragement, and blessings, and warm condolence letters, although only a thin piece of paper, conveyed endless family affection, warmth and strength.

For a time, in dozens of barracks, there were excited howls and sneaky sobs everywhere. Some people cried, some laughed, some were still crying and laughing, all kinds of emotions flowed freely!

There are more than 22 expeditionary troops in Africa. In this era of underdeveloped communications and turbulent wars, it is naturally impossible for every household to be able to get in touch with their relatives on the front line, let alone the Chinese expeditionary force thousands of miles away.

And there is one very important point, that is, it is difficult for a country to be destroyed. In fact, many officers and soldiers have already lost their families, lost contact with their families, and even left him alone. They write letters home.

Therefore, in order to take care of the psychological needs of these front-line officers and soldiers, as long as there are no officers and soldiers who write letters home for them, the troops will match up and find girls to write letters to them. .

Just as Yang Fan expected and designed, the letter papers from thousands of miles away, the simple letters that seem to be lighter than a feather, can possess unparalleled power and give great warmth to the frontline officers and soldiers And comfort, gave them great courage and confidence.

The time soon came to January 1th. On this day, the Matruh Fortress was once again attacked by the Axis forces.

Chapter 1351 90mm Towed Antiaircraft Gun

After a week of adjustments and supplements, Rommel once again launched a large-scale attack on the Matruh Fortress, and this time it was a three-dimensional battle by sea, land and air.

That's right, a week ago Rommel assembled a heavy force and launched a determined attack on the Matruh Fortress, using almost all combat aircraft and nearly half of the ground armored forces.

But it is a pity that under the command of Yang Fan, the Allied forces will fight for every inch of land. Both the air force and the ground defense forces fought resolutely and decisively, and finally successfully resisted the crazy attack of the Axis African Army.

In view of this situation at that time, Rommel came up with a bold idea, that is to organize a three-dimensional battle by sea, land and air, smash and destroy the defense force of Matruh Fortress with more powerful attack power, and conquer this city at any cost. The biggest obstacle in the way.

After receiving a large amount of technical equipment again, and mobilizing the Italian naval fleet to the port of Tobruk, Libya, the second battle of the Matruh Fortress finally started.

At three o'clock in the morning this morning, before dawn, the German-Italian bomber fleet began to take off from the Tobruk Fortress Airport, launching an unprecedented indiscriminate bombing of the Matruh Fortress.

When the enemy bombers flew over the fortress, the anti-aircraft guns on various positions in the Matruh fortress launched a resolute counterattack without hesitation.

超过400门88毫米高射炮和M1A1 90mm拖曳式高射炮构成的强大防空火力网，交织成了一道道璀璨弹线，将漆黑的夜空分割成了无数小块。

The humming of motors, the sharp whistle of the falling aerial bombs, the sound of rumbling guns, and the earth-shattering explosions all became the main theme between the world and the earth, constantly provoking the nervous systems of the soldiers of the enemy and us.

Knowing that Rommel would never give up his pursuit of the Matruh Fortress because of a setback in an attack, it was absolutely impossible for the German tanks to stop like this, so Yang Fan took advantage of the confrontation in the past few days and sent a strong lineup The construction team carried out urgent repairs and reinforcements to the Matruh Fortress.

Moreover, Yang Fan also put all the 88mm anti-aircraft guns in stock into the Matruh Fortress, and even invested more than half of the freshly arrived American M1A1 90mm towed anti-aircraft guns, forming a powerful ground anti-aircraft firepower of more than 400 anti-aircraft guns.

Before the outbreak of World War II, the main anti-aircraft gun in the United States was the 3-inch M1918 (76.2 mm L/50). The U.S. military has been looking for more capable weapons. In 1938, it issued a development request. Both 120 mm and 90 mm calibers are intended. .

于是在1940年设计了M1 90mm高射炮，并于1941年5月经修改后成为M1A1 90mm拖曳式高射炮。

The gun has a weight of 8.618 tons, a muzzle velocity of 823m/s, a rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute, a maximum effective horizontal range of 17,823m, and a maximum shooting height of 10,380m.

In May 1943, it was transformed into M5 after combat improvement. The main change was to increase the depression angle to have the ability to fight against tanks, an electric picker, a shield to protect the gunner, and a fire computer, making the M2mm the best in the United States in World War II. One of the anti-aircraft guns.

再后来该炮则是演变成了M36驱逐战车和M26潘兴坦克的主炮，以及M26A1和M46“巴顿”的主炮，并且还被使用在海岸防御中用于反鱼雷艇。

杨帆系统商场里其实已经解锁了这款M1A1 90mm拖曳式高射炮，以及更先进的M2 90毫米高射炮。

However, judging from the data, the 90mm anti-aircraft gun has a faster rate of fire and a maximum effective horizontal range of three kilometers, but it does not have an advantage in other aspects. It is even worse than the 88mm anti-aircraft gun in terms of the initial velocity of the shell.

Therefore, Yang Fan did not consider purchasing 90mm anti-aircraft guns to replace 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Anyway, the United States can continue to produce them, at least on the African battlefield.

It is also thanks to the timely arrival of the 90mm anti-aircraft guns and new combat aircraft from the United States, otherwise it would be really difficult to rely on the 88mm anti-aircraft guns and Mustang fighter jets in Yang Fan's hands.

There's no way, it can't be opened in a supernatural way under the eyes of everyone, this is the principle set by the system.

And it will take about a week for the planes, tanks, and artillery that I urgently dispatched from the Myanmar theater to reach the Suez Canal in Egypt.

However, Rommel would not give himself this time. He had just rested for a week, and he started to do things like crazy again.

Allied North Africa Theater Headquarters War Room in Cairo.

After learning that the radar station detected a large number of planes going to attack the Matruh Fortress, Yang Fan got up immediately and came to the Allied Command.

At the same time, Stilwell, Wang Liguo, Patton, Auchinleck and others naturally couldn't continue to sleep with peace of mind, and it didn't take long for them all to come to the war room with sleepy eyes.

"Oh, Shet! These damned Germans, have they finished? It's been quiet for a few days, and they're here again!"

I don't know if it was due to overwork last night or too much pressure recently. When Auchinleck walked into the war room, he looked tired and yawned non-stop, looking a little annoyed about getting up.

"General Auchinleck, drink a cup of coffee to refresh yourself first."

Stilwell reached out for a cup of freshly baked coffee, handed it to Auchinleck with a smile on his face, and said, "It must be a matter of time, as long as the command of the sea in the Mediterranean is still in the hands of the Axis forces, they will not attack Egypt." Desperate."

"Okay, three grams of oil."

Auchinleck quickly took the coffee, nodded at Stilwell and said, "Those damned Germans won't let us enjoy Christmas and New Years. God will punish them!"

"Evil does not overwhelm good, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, that is inevitable and necessary!"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "However, we can't just wait for God to punish those war criminals. After all, we have to punish them by ourselves, can't we?"

"General Yang Fan, you are right. Since those war madmen are going to kill themselves, we must destroy them on behalf of justice!"

Auchinleck nodded with a smile and said: "As long as we can stop the crazy attack of the Axis army, we will definitely deal a heavy blow to them.

After this battle, I believe they will be honest for a long time. "

Patton smiled and said, "That's right, so the top priority is to win this war beautifully and completely defeat their spirit, and then it's time for us to launch a strong counterattack."

After the wave of rhythm was driven, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed and happy. Even if no substantive problems were solved, at least it was not as dignified and tense as before.

After chatting for a while, Auchinleck asked seriously: "General Yang Fan, this time the Axis forces have used all forces of the sea, land and air, and it seems that they are determined to win, and the Matruh Fortress must not be lost.

How should we deal with it?Should we also use our naval fleet to fight? "

Chapter 1352 The Attack Routine Has Changed

"This battle will be tough, there is no doubt about it!"

"The last time we were able to thwart the attack of the German-Italian coalition forces, in addition to our own efforts and tenacious resistance, in fact, a large factor was that the enemy's real strength was underestimated."

"However, I believe that Rommel will not be as direct and reckless as last time this time, and there must be a big tactical adjustment.

I have to say that the opponent is a difficult master tactician, once he has enough war resources, he can play a flower. "

Facing everyone's eyes, Yang Fan didn't cover up, let alone shout empty slogans, but told the truth.

Because this is the obvious lice on the bald man's head, and it is impossible to avoid and must modify the difficulties and dangers in front of him.

After a pause, Yang Fan said again: "But then again, even if he is a difficult master tactician, so what?

We are now in a defensive war of defense, not a mobile war of opening and closing. Even if he is no longer capable and cunning, he still has to come to the hard nuts.

So we only need to do one thing, and that is not to give up an inch, to resolutely and thoroughly fight a defensive battle with them, and just work hard with them.

As long as we get stuck at the key points, no matter how powerful the enemy is, no matter how cunning the opponent is, they will still have a way to get over it! "

At this time, there is really nothing to say, just like the Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad battles in the Soviet Union. When there is no retreat, you can only live and die, and you can only see who can't stand it first .

The Matruh Fortress really cannot be lost. Once this fulcrum and defensive barrier is lost, Rommel can gain a solid forward fulcrum and push the front line forward by one or two hundred kilometers in one fell swoop.

In that case, Alexandria will be exposed to the German-Italian bomber fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet will be able to deploy five places, and the Suez Canal and the Red Sea supply line will also be directly threatened.

At that time, the Allied Forces in the North African Theater will have completely lost their strategic room for maneuver.

In this case, even if he can crazily hack, he will not be able to withstand the three-dimensional attack by sea, land and air of more than 100 million Axis troops who have no worries.

As for whether the naval forces will go to the battlefield to participate in the decisive battle, Yang Fan is still unable to make a decision.

The most important reason is that there is still a prerequisite, that is, the Allied air force must be strong enough, the German fighter group must be exhausted, and the most basic air supremacy must be guaranteed.

Otherwise, if those naval units take the risk to join the battle, not only will the ships suffer devastating blows from the three-dimensional naval and air combat of the German and Italian forces, but even if carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes are directly dispatched for air strikes, it will be a wave of desperation at best. To achieve the expected combat effect.

So at this time, you have to bear with it, and you have to decide whether to play the trump card of the navy based on the specific progress of the battlefield.

Just as Yang Fan expected, Rommel's offensive routine has changed significantly this time.

It is no longer like the last time that the king bomb was launched at the beginning of the game, and the powerful combat aircraft group was directly dispatched to find the main force of the Allied air force for a decisive battle. At the same time, a huge armored group was dispatched to encircle the Matruh Fortress on three sides and crush it Pressure attack.

This kind of strategic intention is nothing more than wanting to deal with the Allied air forces in a quick way, and taking advantage of the opportunity when the Allied air forces have no time to take care of themselves, they will use a fierce offensive to disintegrate the morale of the Allied forces and disrupt the Allied forces. Tactical defense deployment.

Such a fierce tactical routine has a strong similarity with blitzkrieg, and with the chips in Rommel's hand, it is indeed possible to use this fierce crushing tactic to directly defeat the enemy's defense system and fighting will.

If it was more than a month earlier, Longmei could have received such a huge supplement of technical equipment, perhaps at that time, with such a fierce tactic, he could really defeat the Allied troops with low morale in one fell swoop.

But unfortunately, Yang Fan and the Huaxia Expeditionary Army came.

A month ago, Yang Fan used a series of combined punches to conquer the generals of the allied army, sea, land and air, and retrieved the soul of the allied army.

Yang Fan and the Chinese Expeditionary Army have become the backbone and spiritual pillars of the Allied Forces. As long as they do not fall, the banner of the Allied Forces camp will not fall.

So under a series of intense shopping and consumption, Rommel was the first to be unable to stand it anymore, so he could only withdraw his troops with scars all over his body, and then regrouped and changed his posture to come back.

This time to attack the Matruh Fortress, Rommel's tactic was to advance by water, land and air, concentrating his forces on the small highlands west of the Matruh Fortress and pushing hard bit by bit.

This is like turning power into a sharp spear, stabbing at a point in the defense system of the Matruh Fortress, unswervingly making a forced breakthrough from one direction, and crushing the road ahead layer by layer. all obstacles.

This kind of offensive method does not pay attention to how gorgeous it is, nor how fast the advancing speed is. It only needs to use unwavering force to one place and continuously launch attacks. Even a strong shield will be smashed out. A hole!

Once the gap is opened, the German and Italian coalition forces can attack all the way, continuously expanding the results of the battle, until they break into the core area of ​​the Matruh Fortress and disintegrate the entire defense system.

In this way, the Allied forces made it very uncomfortable.

The front positions were fought in full swing, fighting to the death. Airplanes, tanks, cannons, and naval guns were all used. Tons and tons of bombs were released crazily without money, causing great damage to the Allied positions.

I can't help myself, I can only watch the comrades in front of me fight bloody battles with the enemy, withstood wave after wave of crazy attacks, and at the same time, they are also continuously paying heavy casualties.

This kind of partial surgical attack will undoubtedly weaken the cross-fire advantage and defensive geographical advantage of the defensive fortress system to the greatest extent, making it difficult for a large part of the fortifications to fully play their role.

Therefore, for the attacker, although they have to attack a solid defense system with strong defensive firepower in an unfavorable terrain, they will pay several times the price of casualties, but they have a first-hand advantage and an active offensive advantage.

As long as you make good use of these advantages, it can often have miraculous effects.

The enemy's offensive routine has changed, and the offensive has become more fierce. The allied forces are not used to it, but they will not give up treatment because of this.

From the very beginning, the Allied forces tried their best to resist. Anti-aircraft artillery, coastal defense artillery, heavy artillery, mortar, and anti-aircraft artillery fired with all their strength one after another, completely ignoring whether they would be regarded as priority targets after being exposed. Spot clear.
