Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Sun Fumin nodded and said: "That's right, the current Allied forces have control over the air and sea, and have strong technical equipment and logistical supply capabilities. We will undoubtedly win the battle in open areas!"

Meng Wu'an answered with a smile: "In the final analysis, our boss had a clever plan, not only deployed the island of Malta early and severely damaged the Italian Navy, but also strangled Rommel's neck.

Otherwise, how could Rommel have lost his temper so easily by us? "

"That's needless to say! Rommel is still very capable, but strategy alone is not enough in war, and strong logistics supply capabilities are also needed!"

Duan Zhongyi nodded and said, "Speaking of logistics support capabilities, we are really very happy. Whether it is weapons and ammunition, fuel, drinking water and various daily necessities, the conditions provided by the chief executive can only be described as luxury."

After hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers fought bloody battles, the Allied forces made a series of breakthroughs, and the entire front advanced again for more than 70 kilometers.

The Axis army is relying on the last highland circular defense line to resist tenaciously. At this time, after a long period of intense consumption, the Axis army is already facing the danger of running out of ammunition and food, whether it is rations or fuel.

The Allied Forces, which fully controlled the command of the sea and the air, tried their best to block the supply lines of the Axis countries in the Mediterranean, and successfully intercepted three Italian transport fleets.

In the absence of fuel supplies for a long time, Rommel had to hide and defend, and transferred the main force to the Ter-Achha Heights for the final defense.

In fact, Rommel had been there a few days ago. Rommel sent a telegram to the head of state saying that due to lack of fuel, his troops were vulnerable and were preparing to retreat, but the head of state told him to hold on a little longer.

Rommel showed him the Führer's telegram, and he stayed on, continuing to command Afrika Korps.

However, the specific situation of the Axis countries at this moment is that most of the troops have gone through high-intensity battles, more than half of their technical equipment has been lost, everyone has only half of their rations left, a large group of soldiers are sick, and the entire Axis country The remaining fuel reserves of the troops were only enough for three days.

Faced with this situation, Rommel said helplessly to his junior officers, "It is very impossible for us to retreat, because we don't have enough fuel.

Now we have only one option, and that is to fight to the end in Matruh.We have no choice other than that. "

In fact, this is also true. As the fierce war continues to advance, the situation of the Axis forces is getting worse and worse.

The soldiers ate a single canned food. Under poor sanitary conditions, a large number of soldiers fell ill but could not receive effective treatment. A large number of wounded soldiers died of excessive blood loss and bacterial infection. Now even the armored troops are almost out of oil.

Conversely, compared to the predicament of the Axis army, the logistics support of the Allied forces is really inhumane.

Wherever the troops advance, oil and water pipes will be laid, and tanks and armored vehicles can replenish fuel and water nearby.

As for the cost of food and clothing, it is also very good, especially for the Huben army, Yang Fan takes care of it meticulously.

Amethyst rice, energy drinks, fresh meat, vegetables and fruits, chocolate, cola, ice cream, cigarettes, alcohol and other daily necessities, all of which are continuously landed at Cairo Airport in the name of "air freight", and then distributed supply.

Of course, it is impossible for Yang Fan to use a transport plane to transport these materials all the way from Myanmar. In fact, the fresh ingredients come from the Taobao space farm run by Xiao Ai, and the small commodities come from the system shopping mall.

In their spare time, officers and soldiers can watch movies, play billiards, football, basketball, poker and other recreational activities.

Except that it is in a state of war, and there are battles at any time, there is not much difference from ordinary life at home.

As for the medical security, let alone, basically, as long as it is not a heroic sacrifice on the spot, it can be rescued, and it will not take long to be resurrected on the spot with full blood.

With all these luxurious logistics support, the Huaxia Expeditionary Army naturally has a great appetite, good food, good health, good spirits, strong morale, and explosive combat effectiveness!

Even the Americans, who have always been full of local pride, were dumbfounded and drooling with envy at the happy life rhythm of the Chinese Expeditionary Army.

Under such circumstances, if you still can't defeat the Axis army that is at the end of its rope, then you might as well find a piece of tofu and kill it.

"Since there is no problem, then according to the original plan, we will formally launch an attack on the Ter-Acha Heights tomorrow morning!"

Lu Shengfeng's eyes narrowed, and he said seriously, "This time the chief has put us in the most important direction of attack, not only giving us great credit, but also placing a heavy burden on us.

At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are gathered here, we must fight a beautiful and tough battle, and give the chief executive, the people of the country and the allies a satisfactory answer! "

A few hours later, at 5:14 on May 8, the last large-scale battle of the Battle of Matruh kicked off with the air force's [-]-hour bombing of Ter-Acha and Shidiba-Arakh.

After the large-scale bombing ended, the Allied forces concentrated another 1200 cannons for 4 hours of continuous bombardment, firing a total of 35000 shells.

At noon, the Huaxia Expeditionary Army dispatched 720 tanks, armored vehicles and 3 mechanized infantry, and the armored troops launched an attack on the Ter-Acha Heights.

The British and American coalition forces concentrated more than 800 tanks and 4 infantry at the same time and launched a full-scale attack on the Shidiba-Alah ridgeline.

Rumbling, thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry fighting vehicles rolled forward with a torrent of steel, and soon rolled up a storm of yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun in the desert.

This scene can only be described as galloping horses, but seriously, it is much more shocking than galloping horses in ancient times!

The decisive battle concerning the success or failure of the Battle of Matruh was officially staged.

Click!Click!

The war correspondents kept pressing the shutter, capturing exciting and exciting shots one after another, faithfully recording everything in front of them.

"Second brother, third brother, and all the good men in China, you must all come back alive!"

Duan Yinhua's eyes were red, and while taking photos with the camera, she prayed devoutly to the sky.

Chapter 1444 Desert Fleet

Facing the vast torrent of steel from the Allied forces, the Axis troops did not give up treatment, and relied on high ground and solid fortifications to resist tenaciously.

When the Allied armored forces entered the range, the heavy artillery hidden in various positions of the Axis army began to fire wildly, blasting shells of large and small calibers at the Allied forces for free.

Immediately afterwards, black clouds of gunpowder smoke exploded from the desert area in front of the high ground, and dust splashed into the sky along with it.

Although these artillery pieces did not have precise guidance, under the cover of dense firepower, one after another tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks were hit one after another, and they suffered severe damage at least, or were directly blasted into a pile of burning scrap iron.

The Allied offensive troops did not stop because of this, and began to fight back while charging at full speed. Main battle tanks and self-propelled artillery roared loudly.

The artillery units behind the Allied forces will also not be idle. After the enemy artillery is exposed, they will quickly calculate its specific position, and then begin targeted firepower suppression.

When the Allied armored forces rushed all the way to the desert area not far below the high ground under intensive artillery fire, hundreds of Axis tanks and thousands of Axis infantry rushed down from above the high ground.

Soon the enemy and the enemy were fighting together, and the cruel and bloody melee began.

The desert trembled in the heat wave, trembled in the explosion, and under the dual effects of gunpowder smoke, thick smoke and dust, the huge area of ​​tens of square kilometers quickly turned into a dark Shura battlefield.

Here it can only be seen as a place shrouded in dust from the detonation of high explosives, a place darkened by the smoke from burning tanks and trucks, a place illuminated by the flames of countless guns. place.

A place where red, green and white tracers flew, a place that trembled from the bombardment, and a place that was deafened by artillery fire from both sides.

A flesh and blood mill constantly devouring fresh life!

When the main force of the Allied forces launched a general attack on the last core defense line of the Axis army, several other battlefields were also proceeding simultaneously.

The Rong 1, Rong 2, and Rong 3 Divisions of the Huaxia Expeditionary Army were ordered to attack and advance northwest of the Tyre-Acha Heights. Their goal was to advance to the enemy stronghold in the south of the railway, and advance to the coastal road after breaking through the enemy's defense line.

The 6th Army of the US Army, the 13th Army of the United Kingdom and other troops continued to carry out pressurization operations on the southern battlefield and carried out large-scale outflanking movements.

In addition, the Allied Forces also have a special "Desert Fleet" that is currently active in the rear of the Axis Army.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, a desert land 107 kilometers northwest of the Ter-Acha Highland.

This is an uninhabited desert, except for the undulating sand dunes, there are flat yellow sand everywhere, and there is no human habitation at all.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the temperature was very high, which made the already extremely dry desert even worse, completely unsuitable for human survival.

However, under such extremely harsh conditions, there is an elite special forces lurking in this desert.

Team leader He Haomao is leading dozens of team members in a camouflaged off-road vehicle, quietly waiting for the coming Axis transport convoy.

As early as a week ago, He Haomao and others were ordered to penetrate deep into the rear of the Axis army from the desert south of the Axis defense line.

There are more than 20 such special teams, each with 30 people, equipped with a heavy truck mother ship full of materials, and 7 armed off-road vehicles for mobile operations.

They are the secret trump card "Desert Fleet" played by Yang Fan, and they are being scattered in the vast desert area at this time.

Their mission is to act as shadow killers, to deal a fatal blow to the fragile supply lines of the Axis forces.

The "Desert Fleet" was originally a desert mobile combat tactic invented by Fitzroy, the founder of the British Special Air Service, but it is now used by Yang Fan a few months in advance.

The members of the desert fleet not only have their own specialties, but also have superb military qualities. A few soldiers can fight ten times as many enemies.

Several teams work together at different times, small in size, flexible and maneuverable, and can quickly advance and retreat in the harsh desert environment, and run away after fighting. In order to achieve this goal, there must be a suitable means of transportation.

The desert is fair to both the enemy and us. There is nowhere to hide on the ground, and it is always facing the danger of exposure. The disadvantage of the vehicle is that it is fully exposed when driving on the open terrain of the desert.

Although the camel has a small target, it is not suitable for facing the mechanized German army.

Therefore, the harm between the two powers was the lesser, and the British army adopted a large number of light vehicles adapted to the desert terrain as a means of transportation.

Moreover, in order to adapt to combat, the car is not only equipped with a large amount of firepower, but also fully loaded with living materials, and the load is often several times the normal load of the vehicle.

In the Western Sahara Desert, these vehicles were like warships in the sand sea, attacking the weak supply lines of the German army everywhere, and after great success, they were quickly promoted in other allied countries.

Another example is that in the Iraqi desert in 1991, similar off-road vehicles of the British army went deep into the hinterland of the Iraqi army in the same way, and searched for scuds on a large scale. Often several light vehicles were equipped with a large loading vehicle, also known as the desert mother ship, mother ship Fuel, water and weapons were piled to the brim on the ship.

There is a trailer at the back, which is loaded with generators, ready-to-use meals, water, various tools and medical items, which are inseparable from the daily life of special forces. It is equipped with various light and heavy weapons. The things on the ship are maintained for a longer combat time.

Yang Fan has heard and detailed these military history materials for a long time, so he started to make real preparations for the "Desert Fleet" three months ago. Now that he has launched a comprehensive strategic counter-offensive, this trump card will naturally be used.

"Oh my god, the weather is too hot! If we can't wait for the enemy transport convoy, we have to become humans first!"

Team member Han Hao licked his chapped lips and raised his hand to wipe his forehead, but his hands were covered with sweat.

Although the roof was covered with a thermal insulation camouflage layer, the hot air waves in the desert penetrated everywhere, and the temperature in the car was at least [-] degrees, which was not much different from being in a sauna all the time.

"It's a bit stupid to sit and wait, but it's the most cost-effective way to hunt. Otherwise, our fuel will be consumed too quickly, and it will be difficult to keep fighting for a long time!"

He Haomao smiled and handed the water bottle out, "Are you thirsty, drink some water to moisten your throat!"

"Captain, no need, I can bear it!"

Although his throat was about to smoke, Han Hao still shook his head.

They brought a lot of fresh water before departure, and they have been very economical all the time, but after a week, nearly half of the fresh water consumption has been consumed, which is really not enough.

At this time, He Haomao's walkie-talkie rang: "Report to the captain, the target was found at eleven o'clock! The target was found at eleven o'clock! It is about 9 kilometers away from our side!"

Chapter 1445 The straw that broke the camel's back

"Haha, we finally got the big fish again, our hardships are not in vain!"

He Haomao immediately became excited when he heard this, and quickly yelled on the communication channel of the team, "Brothers, check the weapons and equipment, and get ready to work!"

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

As soon as He Haomao's words fell, there was a burst of jubilation in the communication channel one after another.

Then he waited patiently for more than ten minutes. With the sound of rumbling motors coming from far and near, He Haomao could gradually see the enemy transport convoy that was getting closer and closer with his naked eyes.

This transport convoy consisted of more than a dozen transport vehicles and 4 armored vehicles, and its course of action happened to pass through the ambush site of their team.

"The whole army is attacking, brothers, hit me hard!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, He Haomao didn't wait any longer, and immediately issued an attack order.

"Leave no one, kill!"

"It's done!"

Seven armed off-road vehicles began to charge forward after removing their camouflage, and then the light-vehicle 23mm chain guns rang out one after another.

Lightly armed off-road vehicles or fast assault vehicles are generally equipped with a 12.7 mm large-caliber machine gun or grenade launcher above the middle of the car body.

Compared with other weapons on the vehicle, the tactical mission of the 12.7mm machine gun is mainly to directly suppress the target at a relatively long distance of about 1500 meters.

Although its effective range can reach this distance, the shooting spread is already very large at this time, and, with the improvement of the level of target protection on the battlefield, the power of the 12.7mm machine gun has become insufficient.

Considering this situation, Yang Fan installed a more powerful small-caliber cannon-23mm chain gun on the armed off-road vehicles of the "Desert Warship" troop.

The muzzle velocity of this cannon is 780 m/s, and the rate of fire can be adjusted. There are several shooting modes: single shot, 200 rounds/min, and 400 rounds/min. 2000°, and the direction of shooting is 5°.

The gun can not only strike lightly armored targets on the ground and active force assembly groups, but also has air-to-air combat capabilities, which can attack low-altitude enemy armed helicopters or deal with air paratrooper targets.

The whole gun weighs 55 kg, and the recoil force of the gun is less than 10 kN when firing. It has many advantages such as light weight, strong firepower, good shooting accuracy, high first hit rate, adjustable rate of fire, small recoil force, high reliability, and good maintainability. features.

Da da da, 7 23mm chain guns fired at the same time, and a string of caliber ammunition first concentrated fire on the 4 most threatening enemy armored vehicles.

The distance of more than 1000 meters was reached in a blink of an eye. After hearing a burst of clanging metal impacts, the four enemy armored vehicles were directly beaten into hornet's nests before they had time to react.

After a while, the armored vehicle that lost its driving stopped abruptly and stopped in the desert.

Needless to say, all the enemy armored soldiers inside must be dead.

"Ah, it's not good to have an enemy attack!"

"These damned devils have appeared again!"

"Quick split up and break through!"

Seeing that the escorting armored vehicles could not withstand the bombardment of the machine guns, the drivers of the transport vehicles naturally did not dare to stay where they were, and all of them stepped on the accelerator all of a sudden, and slammed the steering wheel to break away from the original formation, and separated at the fastest speed rush.

"Quick, catch up and kill them all, don't let one go!"

Seeing that the enemy transport vehicles turned into a group of frightened beasts and fled around, He Haomao became anxious immediately, how could the ducks with their beaks let them fly away?

"Da da da!"
