Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters siege but not attack
At present, the German army has been surrounded, and the German tanks have been destroyed one after another. It is unrealistic to continue to break through. Moreover, the defense depth of the 1st Army in the depth of the battle field is as good as possible.
Many German officers knew this. In this case, there were only two ways to go, one was to stick to the support, and the other was to surrender.
Obviously, these German troops were unwilling to surrender. If all these German troops surrendered, the German forces in the entire North African region would be greatly weakened. Since they did not want to surrender, they could only stand firm and wait for assistance.
The senior German officer just now came up with a good idea and immediately ordered all his tanks, cars, etc. to quickly build a line of defense, relying on this line of defense to stick to it, hoping to stick to the reinforcements.
The German army was severely damaged in a short period of time. Now, the German army has asked Rommel for help, and the German reinforcements may be in action.
After receiving the order, all the German troops gave up breaking through, but formed a huge circle of all tanks, trucks, etc., a large circle of several kilometers, nearly a hundred tanks remaining by the German army, hundreds of large trucks of two infantry divisions, each tank or truck, ranging from 2 to 30 meters to 5 to 60 meters away.
The German army purchased a huge line of defense with these tanks or trucks. The two German infantry divisions were equipped with a large number of infantry artillery, combat defense artillery, and mortars. The German infantry responded very quickly, and various artillery were pulled out, facing the outside of the circle, ready to resist the attack of the Chinese team.
The actions of the German army. The soldiers surrounded the outside immediately discovered that after the German army was surrounded, Wang Haiyang and other senior executives of the 1st Group Army took an armored command vehicle to a small highland, several kilometers away, holding a telescope to pay attention to the battlefield.
When Wang Haiyang suddenly saw the actions of the German army, Wang Haiyang also felt a little bit qiguài and thought to himself, what is the reason for the German army at this time?
Although I was in my heart, I was sure to win, and Wang Haiyang did not order the soldiers to continue attacking. Wang Haiyang also wanted to see what these German soldiers were playing.
So Wang Haiyang said loudly: "Tell me the order. Order the soldiers to surround them without attacking them. Leave enough time for these German troops and let us play with them."
Soon, it was estimated that less than an hour. The German defense line was beginning to take shape. Seeing the huge defense line built by the German army, Wang Haiyang couldn't help but laugh.
"It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting."
"Chief! It seems that the German army is going to stand firm and wait for assistance. Look, they are still setting up mountain cannons and war defense cannons."
Upon hearing this, Wang Haiyang nodded and said with a smile: "The equipment of the two German infantry divisions is not bad. Their combat defense artillery and mountain artillery are quite small for our wēixié. I ordered the soldiers to retreat two kilometers later."
These two German infantry divisions are basically motorized infantry divisions, equipped with a large number of trucks. The two divisions have at least hundreds of large trucks. In addition, they are equipped with a lot of mountain cannons, war defense cannons, and even 88mm anti-aircraft cannons.
Just now, under the attack of the soldiers, these various artillery were basically not unloaded from the towing truck and basically did not play a role. Now, the German army has built a line of defense, and these artillery were also unloading from the towing truck one by one. Many German artillery soldiers are setting up artillery.
There are two main types of war defense artillery in the German army, one is the 37mm war defense artillery and the other is the 50mm war defense artillery. The German army's 50mm war defense artillery has great power and is a big wēixié against the Type 39 tank.
The two German infantry divisions were equipped with a large number of war artillery fire, each of which was at least dozens of. Now, these war defense artillery basically aimed at the Chinese tanks in the distance.
The German 88mm anti-aircraft guns were even more powerful. They had not had time to unload them from the towing trucks before, but now, once these cannons are set up, they cannot be underestimated.
The German 88mm anti-aircraft gun can not only be used as anti-aircraft guns, but also as flat-aircraft guns, which can directly aim at armored targets to shoot.
At the beginning, the German army came in full force and completely despised the 1st Army. The German army believed that it had more than 200 tanks and two well-equipped motorized infantry divisions behind it. The German army believed that it was a powerful force and must be unstoppable.
The German army never expected that more than 200 tanks would be severely damaged by the China National Team tank group, and the two infantry divisions he followed up with had basically not had time to play their role.
Now, as the defensive front gradually completed, the Chinese tank group on the periphery gradually faded away, and the Chinese team has obviously retreated a lot, far away from itself, and has no intention of continuing to attack.
Seeing this scene, many German officers and soldiers quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the tactics they had just adopted were completely correct.
Not only are trucks and tanks forming a strong support point or fire point, but more importantly, cannons have been set up, and these cannons can exert their power.
***************
far away.
The 1st Army's three tank regiments, three mechanized infantry regiments, and a large number of combat vehicles, about two or three kilometers away from the German army. They confronted the German army in a distance, and the soldiers did not attack.
The top hatch of some tanks was even opened, and many tank soldiers came out of the tank and leaned against the tank to breathe.
Comrade Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Army, is also paying attention to the situation of the German positions. The entire German positions are about four or five square kilometers, and the German tanks are relatively large, but the casualties of the two German infantry divisions are not large.
Wang Haiyang has a way to deal with the German positions surrounded by iron barrel formations. There are at least two ways. One is to use a large number of heavy artillery and use artillery fire to cover the German positions. The German army will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Another way is to call for air support, which is to bomb the German positions in a intensive manner. Because of the means to deal with the German troops, Wang Haiyang seemed relatively calm and did not hurry at all.
As for the German reinforcements, Wang Haiyang was not very worried. Wang Haiyang knew that even if the German army had a large number of reinforcements heading here, they would definitely be blocked by the US and British troops.
"Commander! We bombard the Germans with heavy artillery to get the power of our heavy artillery."
Wang Haiyang shook his head and bombarded with heavy artillery is a good way, but Wang Haiyang was not going to do this. On the one hand, it was more troublesome to temporarily build artillery positions in the heavy artillery group. In addition, if a German plane came to attack, his heavy artillery would suffer considerable losses.
Since entering the North African battlefield, the heavy artillery groups of the 1st Army have seemed cautious. At present, they have been hidden. Each heavy artillery is either covered with dead grass or covered with a camouflage net, and has been guarding against the German air force.
Although, a few days ago, the Chinese Navy severely damaged the German Air Force in North Africa, who knows whether the German North African army has replenished fighter jets? After all, the German aircraft are very large, and it is completely normal to transfer a batch of aircraft from other battlefields.
In addition, it is more important. Wang Haiyang does not want to consume his precious shells. Now, the 1st Army is far away from China, and it is difficult to replenish the shells, so the shells must be used on the blade.
Wang Haiyang thought for a while and decided to say, "Contact the Indian Ocean Fleet and send planes to bomb these German troops."
Aircraft bombing is indeed a good idea. Several senior commanders of the 1st Army next to him also agreed. Immediately, the 1st Army Command began to contact the Indian Ocean Fleet.
Persian Gulf Base.
Thirty "Super Air Fortress" bombers, two squadrons of Mustang fighters, flew together from the base airport after receiving the order.
***************
German army.
After learning that his troops were severely damaged, Rommel, the highest commander of the German army in North Africa, ordered again to concentrate nearly 100 tanks and two motorized infantry divisions to provide rapid reinforcements, and in addition, about 100 aircraft were sent to reinforcements.
The German North African aircraft were just replenished, and Rommel sent more than a dozen bombers, eighty and ninety fighter jets to reinforce the besieged Germans.
The German army believed that with these aircraft reinforcements, coupled with the dispatch of nearly 100 tanks and two motorized infantry divisions to attack and respond from the ground, they should be able to successfully break through. Some senior German officers even believed that they might be able to counterattack the Chinese team and avenge the revenge that they had suffered a severe blow just now.
Both China and Germany are starting to take action, and time passes by minute by minute.
The surrounded German army knew that their reinforcements were coming quickly and there were a large number of aircraft reinforcements. The large number of Chinese tanks around them showed no sign of attack. These German troops couldn't help but look forward to it again.
Especially as time passed by, it became more and more beneficial to itself, and these German troops gradually cheered up again and prepared to break through.
As long as there is a plane to support, these German troops will be prepared to break through and are very sure to succeed. If a large number of ground troops arrive, they may even launch a counterattack against the Chinese team.
The German army's ideas were very beautiful.
*********************
far away.
A large number of soldiers were far away, and the soldiers surrounded him without attacking him. Many soldiers seemed relatively leisurely. The soldiers had been here for nearly two hours, and many soldiers regarded this as a kind of rest.
The Tank Regiment and the commanders of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment have also received news that a large number of aircraft from the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet are flying here and will bomb these German troops.
