Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Naturally, the team members couldn't let these enemies go because of the benevolence of women, and turned their guns to fire at those fleeing frantically.

The drivers slammed on the gas pedal and pursued with all their might.

Strings of caliber ammunition gushed out for free, and fist-sized holes were soon punched in the enemy transport vehicles in front, and the water, food, ammunition and other supplies contained in them were bombarded to pieces.

The unlucky driver was beaten to pieces in the first round of fire and killed on the spot.

After a unilateral frenzied pursuit, more than a dozen transport vehicles of the enemy army were all turned into hornets' nests, and none of them escaped alive.

There is no way, strength does not allow low-key.

"Haha, well done! Brothers, hurry up and collect useful loot, especially as much as Shimizu can take away, we have to fight for a long time!

If you can't take it away, just blow it up, and you can't leave the enemy with a bullet or a grain of food! "

He came and went in a hurry. After the battle, He Haomao collected some usable things and blew up the rest of the supplies, then fled in a hurry.

Ten minutes later, when two German planes came to the rescue, there were only ruins scattered all over the place, and nothing useful was left.

And such sneak attacks have happened countless times in the past week or so, and a large amount of supplies were buried in the long yellow sand.

Undoubtedly this was the straw that broke the camel's back!

"It's over, we have no hope!"

After receiving a piece of terrible intelligence, Rommel once again fell into deep despair. The Mediterranean supply line has been severely hit, and seventy-eight out of ten of the supplies were buried in the Allied navy and air force.

Now even the supply lines on land have been cut off!

Even if the frontline troops can still fight for a few days, what about after a few days?

After cutting off the supplies, this desperate effort is not only futile, but also stupid, it will only lose all the chips!

Instead of sitting still, it is better to retreat bravely, and quickly retreat to the Tunisian highlands in Libya to make more plans!

For Rommel, the failure was already obvious, so he planned to retreat again, and sent another withdrawal request to the Fuhrer yesterday.

"Your Excellency, the Führer has called back."

But the German head of state disagreed with him to do so, and replied him in a very stern tone, telling him not to give up any inch of land, even if he fought to the death.

"What? The Führer must be crazy! He must be crazy!"

After reading the telegram, Rommel suddenly began to doubt his life. Before that, he always thought that the head of state was a military genius, but at this moment he suddenly felt that his head of state was an idiot.

On May 5, the remaining Axis forces were still fighting.A gap 16 miles wide had been ripped through their defenses.

"If we stay here, my troops won't last for three days... If I carry out the order of the head of state, then my troops may refuse to obey me... My troops come first!"

After continuing to persist for two days, Rommel, who was deeply hopeless, violated the instructions of the head of state and finally ordered the troops to retreat on a large scale.

Ironically, at this time, 1200 tons of oil were sent to Rommel, but it was too late to fight back, and the oil could only be burned for nothing.

Chapter 1446 A Common Victory

On the night of May 5, under the extremely unfavorable situation of the battle, Rommel ordered his troops to retreat to Libya overnight under the cover of night, and took away fresh water and food, leaving the Italian army to resist.

Five hours later, the news of Rommel's retreat across the board reached the Allied Command in North Africa.

Excited, Yang Fan immediately ordered the Allied troops on the southern front, such as the U.S. 6th Army and the British 13th Army, to pursue decisively and deeply.

At the same time, Yang Fan also ordered the air force to attack with all its strength to carry out uninterrupted bombing and interception of the escaped main force of the Axis powers.

5月17日上午11点，2个军的意大利军队在顽强抵抗数个小时后仅剩3000余人，随即向盟军投降。

After breaking through the highland defense line in an all-round way, the Allied armored forces began to pursue across the board, forming a formation and driving at full speed in the open desert area.

At this time, the U.S. 6th Army and the British 13th Army, which had bypassed the highland defense line and pursued in depth, were stopped by a German armored army and fought a bloody battle with them.

This battle was fought until dark, and after the Allied forces paid a huge price, they finally wiped out this elite German army.

However, after this battle, the Allied troops on the southern front also lost their ability to pursue and could only go into rest and replenishment.

At noon on May 5, after chasing more than 19 kilometers in one breath, the Allied armored forces marching at full speed finally caught up with the Axis troops fleeing in Benghazi near the Hamimu River in Libya.

This is mainly because the Axis army has too many infantry and insufficient transport vehicles, and was continuously chased and killed by the air force during the retreat, resulting in serious vehicle damage.

So this led to the fact that although the main force of the Axis powers retreated early in the dark and sent tens of thousands of rear troops to buy them a full day, the slow-moving infantry was eventually chased by the Allied armored forces. up.

Seeing this, Rommel could only let the last tens of thousands of German-Italian infantry counterattack on the spot, and use their flesh and blood to face the torrent of iron anhydride of the Allied forces!

Although these exhausted German-Italian infantrymen were very tenacious and brave, their flesh and blood were no match for the torrent of steel. They were quickly defeated in the unilateral massacre.

Faced with this meaningless resistance and the ruthless massacre of the Allied armored forces, the German commander in charge of the rear was finally desperate and frightened, and could only order the troops to surrender.

In this battle, the Allied forces annihilated a full 3 German and Italian allied forces, and caused more than 3.2 German infantry and 1.2 Italian infantry to surrender with their hands high.

Rommel's African Army, once invincible and invincible, became the first German army unit to surrender during World War II.

After annihilating tens of thousands of enemy infantry, the Allied armor continued to pursue.

However, the weather was not good. It rained suddenly and the road became muddy. A large number of Allied tanks and armored vehicles suddenly fell into the quagmire.

At this time, Rommel decisively ordered the German infantry group 20 kilometers away to throw away their weapons and equipment, retreat at full speed, and finally escaped lightly.

After learning the front-line information, Yang Fan decisively terminated the pursuit and ordered the troops to escort the prisoners to retreat immediately to join the follow-up troops.

The continuous pursuit of three or four hundred kilometers is already the limit of the Allied forces. If they continue to pretend to be aggressive, they will easily be counterattacked by Rommel.

So far, the Battle of Matruh, which has touched the nerves of the whole world, has come to an end.

In this battle, the Allied forces blocked and destroyed the opponent's logistical supply line by virtue of their sea and air superiority, which made it difficult for the German army to maneuver its forces and fight for a long time in the desert area.

Based on the terrain and enemy situation, the Allied forces changed their deployment in a timely manner, gathered superior forces, and carried out a frontal attack. The German and Italian infantry positions and vital forces were the focus of attack, making it difficult for the German tank troops to hold their positions due to lack of infantry support and had to retreat.

The German army took advantage of the rapid mine-laying characteristics of the desert grassland, set up extensive minefields, relied on high ground for defense, and severely damaged the Allied forces with melee firepower, killing and injuring 6.3 Allied troops, destroying 2200 tanks and more than 1400 armored vehicles. The army group tank attack played a big role.

However, due to lack of supplementary weapons, fuel, ammunition, food and drinking water, especially the lack of air supremacy, the German-Italian coalition forces were finally defeated by the Allied forces.

The Allied forces made full use of air support to greatly support the ground forces, but in contrast, the Luftwaffe and the Italian Air Force were hardly able to provide support for the ground forces at all, and their main energy was concentrated on air combat.

But they have no way to control the air power at all, and they become weaker and weaker under the consumption of protracted air battles.

It was also because of the lack of air supremacy in this campaign that the German-Italian coalition forces paid a heavier price.

德军4个精锐军、12个意军师被歼，伤亡25余万，被俘5万，损失坦克装甲车2350辆、大炮5000余门。

Although both sides lost about the same number of tanks, this amount was less than 40% for the Allies, and almost equivalent to annihilation for Rommel.

After this battle, although Rommel retained most of his troops, he lost 75% of his technical equipment and completely lost the capital to compete with the Allies in the North African battlefield.

这场注定会载入史册的马特鲁战役从5月4日打响，经过16天的激烈厮杀，盟军终于在5月19日胜利地结束了整个战役。

The victory of the battle guaranteed the smooth flow of the Allied supply line from the Middle East to the Suez Canal, and it was of great significance to the Allied forces in terms of morale. It was a turning point in the North African battlefield in World War II.

As the British Prime Minister once commented: "Before the Battle of Matruh, we had never won a single battle; but after the Battle of Matruh, we were invincible."

Of course, achieving such a brilliant victory in this battle is by no means a unilateral victory, but a joint victory of the entire Allied camp.

As the saying goes, a small victory is a big victory. Without the hard work of the working people of the allies, the strong supplies of the logistics officers and soldiers, and the bloody battles of the sea, land and air officers and soldiers of all countries, this big victory would not be possible!

"Extraordinary! My Chinese North Africa Expeditionary Force showed its might again and won the first glorious victory of the Allied forces against Nazi Germany!"

"The Allied Forces have won a complete victory, and the British Empire has defeated Nazi Germany for the first time! The haze in North Africa has been lifted!"

"The Invincible American Army smashed Nazi-Fascism!"

"The Allied Forces have won a decisive victory in the North African battlefield, and the World Anti-Fascist Alliance is invincible!"

The war came to an end and ended with a complete victory for the Allied Forces. This exciting news traveled through the void with beams of radio waves, and spread to every corner of the world in a short period of time.

The Allied camp became rejoiced, especially the British and Soviet Union, who were screaming with excitement, and the morale of the army and the people were greatly encouraged!

News, newspapers and magazines from the Allied camp started to spread the propaganda overwhelmingly, and official and non-governmental celebrations followed one after another, making it feel like Chinese New Year.

On the other hand, the Axis Alliance was wailing, feeling unprecedented pressure and heaviness. Even the Japanese government, which had always hoped that the German army would consume more, felt like a formidable enemy at this moment.

Chapter 1447 Can't sit still

Tak Province, Thailand, the war room of the General Headquarters of the Myanmar Expeditionary Army.

Neiji Okamura, Heutaro Kimura, Shozo Kawabe, Adachi 23 and other senior Japanese generals gathered together and were doing a sand table military flag deduction with the Myanmar Chinese Expeditionary Force as the imaginary enemy.

The Burmese Chinese Expeditionary Force was originally the enemy of the Japanese Burmese Expeditionary Force, and it was the fundamental meaning of the existence of the Burmese Expeditionary Army.

But here, the Burmese Chinese Expeditionary Force is described as an imaginary enemy. That is because the Japanese government has given up its illusions about Burma and has withdrawn half of the Burmese dispatched troops.

Naturally, the Burmese Expeditionary Force was unable to take the initiative to attack Burma. Their task had become to defend against the attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and guard the gateway to the Japanese-occupied areas in Southeast Asia.

However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force occupying Burma was not interested in attacking the solid defense system that Okamura Ningji spent countless efforts to build, but just devoted himself to training soldiers! .

This made Ningji Okamura and the others who were eager for revenge and eager to make contributions very painful, especially after they received the transfer order from the base camp some time ago, they all felt particularly lost and aggrieved!

"Your Excellency General, Your Excellency Chief of Staff! We have just received an important piece of information from the North African battlefield!"

At this moment, a Japanese army staff officer rushed in and handed a document to Neiji Okamura respectfully, "The Battle of Matruh is over. The German and Italian allies suffered a disastrous defeat. Total victory!"

"Nani? Rommel was really defeated?"

Hearing this, Neiji Okamura's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly grabbed the file and quickly browsed it.

After carefully reading it three times, Okamura Ningji said in a very heavy voice: "Sure enough, it will be like this in the end, damn Yang Fan, how did you do it? Are you really a devil? "

Heitaro Kimura took the document and read it, then praised Neji Okamura and said, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, is so amazing that you actually made a promise! I predicted it half a year ago."

"No way, how could the German allies have suffered such a disastrous defeat?"

"That's right, didn't you say that Rommel's Afrika Korps had more than one million troops and countless tanks and planes?"

"How come the damn Chinese Expeditionary Army can't even defeat the German allies?"

"Baga! This news is too bad for the Axis camp and the Great Japanese Empire!"

"How can we defeat this hateful Huaxia commander?"

Hebian Masamune, Anda 23 and other senior Japanese generals were all so angry that they were vomiting blood. They were beaten by Yang Fan before, leaving only a pair of underpants, and they almost belched.

These days, they have been looking forward to it, hoping that the German-Italian Allied Forces will kill the Chinese Expeditionary Army led by Yang Fan without leaving any behind, so that this catastrophe will be completely wiped out.

But things backfired, and Yang Fan once again turned against the wind, turning the precarious North African battlefield around bit by bit, until today it completely changed the situation on the North African battlefield.

Thinking that even the powerful German chariot, which was invincible all over the world, was defeated by Yang Fan, Neiji Okamura, Shozo Kawabe and others all felt a sense of fear and powerlessness.

After a long while, Okamura Ningji gritted his teeth and said: "The Chinese army is becoming stronger at an unprecedented speed. The Japanese Empire can no longer feed on tigers. It must concentrate its efforts to resolve the Huaxia incident."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Neiji Okamura kept shaking his head, because what he just said was completely nonsense. The Japanese government did not want to give priority to solving the "China Incident", but it was incapable of completely solving it.

Everyone knows that the Nationalist Government took advantage of the trend to declare war on Japan after the Japanese army launched the Pacific War and joined the Allied camp.

Japan, on the other hand, did not declare war on China until the end of World War II.

At the beginning, they did not declare war because Japan lacked resources and relied heavily on imports for a large number of materials such as oil, steel, machinery and equipment. If war was declared against China, it would be subject to international sanctions, making it unable to continue to support overseas wars.

And it still hasn't declared war on China until now. That's because after the war of resistance entered the stage of strategic stalemate, Japan began to change its strategy, and eased its plight in China by supporting the Wang puppet regime.

The Japanese believed that the Wang puppet regime was the only legal government in China, and established "diplomatic relations" with it.

Japan did not recognize that Chiang Kai-shek's National Government represented China, and naturally there was no need to declare war on the National Government, so the war against China was collectively referred to as the "China Incident".

Okamura Ningji and others were not the only ones who were anxious to get angry and could not sit still. After hearing the news, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito was also shocked into a cold sweat, and quickly called a group of military and political officials to hold a meeting to discuss.

Hirohito has always had small calculations, and has always adopted the strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. He most hopes to see that the German allies will lose both sides to the allies, and the Japanese Empire can take advantage of this.

But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the Allied camp must die ugly, and it is by no means that the Allied forces will win a complete victory and dominate in an all-round way, especially the Huaxia Anti-Japanese Armed Forces must not have a good life!

But the fact is just the opposite. Now that the Allied Forces in the North African battlefield have won a complete victory, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has once again shined brilliantly.

On the Eastern Front in Europe, the Soviet army revived and showed great resilience. The German army was forced into a protracted war of attrition.

In the Pacific battlefield, the Americans began to move around, and they have gradually acquired the ability to counterattack.

The balance of power between the Axis Alliance and the Allies is changing, and it seems that there will be a reversal!

The combination of these factors immediately gave Hiroren a sense of urgency, and he was really afraid that the Allied forces, especially the Huaxia Huben Army, which was close at hand, would become an invincible force.

Although the current Japanese government has already decided to concentrate all efforts to solve the "China Incident" and transferred back 60 Burmese dispatched troops to China to participate in the war, Hirohito suddenly felt that it was not enough, and further weight was needed!

"Gentlemen, I think everyone already knows about the North African battlefield, so I won't explain further!"

After everyone arrived, Hirohito went straight to the topic and said: "Even such a powerful German ally failed because of the joining of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. I really want to know what everyone thinks about this matter?

What kind of enlightenment and lessons can the Great Japanese Empire get from it?How should we deal with the current war situation? "

"His Majesty!"
