After receiving the report, Akado looked silent. To be honest, the tactics used by Rommel this time can be regarded as a practice. How to break through the strong defense of the enemy's fortifications with the advantage of firepower. Rommel gave full play to all the firepower he could find in his hand, and in order to match these firepower, he formulated a very complete tactics.

Rommel is a general who attaches great importance to the promotion of firepower. Do n’t think that he is just a stunned leader who dares to fight. His rapid breakthroughs and roundabouts are all bold attacks based on suppressing firepower, not Use soldiers to attack the opponent's defense. He once said a famous famous saying: No matter how small the caliber of the weapon is, and no matter how little the weapon is, it should be used to support the infantry attack. This sentence reflects his personal opinion and proves his attacking habits from one side.

Now, Rommel ’s artillery caliber is arguably the largest in the world. Both the Italian Navy and the French Navy ’s large-caliber cannons are within his range of mobilization. Now he has far more artillery than his opponents. On the sea, there are more than 200 artillery pieces of battleships and cruisers, not counting the bombers of the German and Italian Air Forces in North Africa, and the number of tanks in Rommel's hands exceeding 1,000.

Rommel, with such firepower support, is no longer a cunning desert silver fox, and has transformed into a ferocious desert tiger. The so-called smart cunning is just a helpless move under the pressure of material shortages and logistical tensions. Rummel is actually better at breaking down a catty than four or two.

There is an old Chinese saying, "A good warrior has no great merit." It means that a truly good general has no outstanding merit. why? Because good warriors often prepare well in the early stage to force their opponents to give up their provocations, and once the war starts, these generals can often create a situation where they have more advantages than others, so their fighting skills look very ordinary and not worth it. Boasting place.

Rommel did not have a gorgeous roundabout and weird penetration this time, nor did he madly attack the British defensive position. His attack was simple and short, and again and again, like a huge hammer, striking the already fragile defense of the British defenders. He did not intend to show his command art, but played the classic battle of World War I on the premise of reducing casualties and preserving his strength.

This combat report from North Africa is very detailed, including Rommel's combat deployment in Africa, as well as the army's ammunition and oil surplus. Because the password has just been changed, these core secrets were also transmitted to the wolf den in the first time.

According to the report, as Rommel ’s forces were embedded in Tobruk ’s core line of defense like a wedge, the shelling by the Italian and French navies became more precise. British defense is becoming more and more difficult. On the contrary, the loss of troops in Rommel's hands is not as unacceptable as expected.

Akado put down the message and report in his hand, and raised his lips gently humming a rural minor in the Ruhr industrial zone. His fingers tapped lightly on the report to beat his tune. At this moment his mood is very good. From this report from afar, he can see the growth of Rommel and the maturity of a unique general.

Rommel is a little more calm than when he first went to Africa, which is definitely a good thing for Akado. With Rommel in Africa, he can rest assured that he will be competing with Stalin on the Eastern Front to see who the world is dying of, and whether the world is bound to move toward the United States.

Thinking of this, Akado stopped, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the small courtyard outside the window, and felt the cool breeze brought by the Polish forest. He could hear the lark's call, which was carefree and made Akado seem to forget all his troubles. He stood by the window and listened quietly, even Anna walked in without realizing it.

"My dear, what are you thinking?" Anna put down the papers in her hand and the coffee she had taken for Akado, and called out her lover softly. She originally wanted to stay with Mercedes. After all, she and Akado left Berlin at this time and left a Mercedes who had just given birth. It was not good.

However, Mercedes is very generous and wants Anna to follow Akado to the Eastern Front to protect the head of state. But everyone knows that this is just a superficial rhetoric, and what the real reason is, everyone is silent about it.

"I was thinking about the fighting in North Africa. I do n’t know how it went. After all, it was the 6th day. The intelligence shows that Patton and his 8th Army in Egypt have disappeared. Obviously Montgomery and Patton ’s troops are working Assembling with Tobruk, I was worried that Rommel would be the first to capture Tobruk. "Akado looked out the window and didn't look back, he answered directly.

Anna walked behind Akado, stretched out a pair of jade hands, pressed against Akado's shoulders, and kneaded gently. The strength of her hands is much greater than the strength of ordinary women, so Akado felt a soreness: "Worry? General Rommel has a large army of more than 100,000. Against tens of thousands of Indians, are you afraid to win? ? "

"Anna, before the news of victory, no matter how obvious the advantage may be defeated." Akado said while enjoying the beauty massage: "Send a telegram to Rommel in a while, it seems that Patton is going to I played a game with us in Tobruk. Since that is the case, Rommel should be ready! "

Rommel also wanted to capture Tobruk as soon as possible. When Akkado sent a message, the battle in North Africa had been fought for 6 days. In 6 days, Rommel only advanced one or two kilometers each time and stopped. To keep his feet steady, he carefully used the armored forces in his hand and invested little by little in the infantry. The entire Tobruk has been devastated by the Italian navy's artillery, and even some of the core facilities are beyond recognition.

"General! IMHO, if we continue to fight like this, even if we have captured Tobruk, it will be of no use here." General Garibaldi, the commander of the Italian 1st Army, stood frowning beside Rommel, his The loss of troops was indeed negligible, but Rommel ’s bombardment seemed to destroy the entire Tobruk instead of opening a gap.

Seeing that Rommel did n’t mean to speak, he had to point to the less detailed topographic map, pointing to the various fortifications built in Italy and continuing: "Tobruk has 4 desalination systems that can provide a lot of Fresh water. And there is a simple repair factory here, which can repair tanks ... General, all blown up is not good for us who are about to occupy here. "

"I didn't bomb the core area again, what are you afraid of?" Rommel put down the telescope in his hand, patted the sand on his knee, and said to Garibaldi: "Relax, I am also interested in the facade, so It will not be easily destroyed. "

After he finished, he smiled and waved beneath his opponent. When the staff came over, a 150 mm caliber howitzer position not far away was ordered to fire. The deafening sound turned several people's conversations into shouts, but Rommel still didn't mean to wait: "You, send a telegram to the commander of the 17th Division! Let his troops take the first The 1st Division was slowed down, and the 1st Division of Italy was rested in place! Stand by! "

"Yes! Sir!" The staff stood up to salute, and the servants ran to the armored command vehicle on the other side.

"General, my troops can continue to fight, and if necessary, we can even attack 2 kilometers further to cover your armored forces and rush into the core defensive position of Tobruk." Garibaldi apparently did not want to be in ruins It ’s a waste of time. He hastily urged Rommel to speed up his attack. Fortunately, he will capture this very important fortress on the map in the next few days.

Rommel waved his hand and chuckled his signature expression. As he walked towards his convertible car, he said to General Garibaldi who was following him: "Dear General Garibaldi, it is our established tactics to take a break and guarantee the rest of each unit. This is our established tactics and this cannot be changed."

He stepped into the car on one foot and looked back: "I need to get a fully integrated North African Army after this battle. Since the Italian troops are not ready for battle, then I personally train to let you The people under their command learned how to fight, at least how to fight with the army of the Third Reich. This is very important for the battle we will experience in the future. "

"So I asked for a few more hours!" Garibaldi frowned and replied.

"No, General! Your troops need a rest!" Rommel boarded the car, and the two wheeled armored vehicles responsible for protecting him started, and for a time the gravel flew, and it looked dusty around.

"General Rommel! The intelligence shows that Patton's troops are advancing here quickly. IMHO! If we continue to fight this way, it is likely that we will not be able to win Tobruk and will be driven away from this area by Patton's support forces." Trying to finally convince Rommel to accelerate the attack.

"Who said, we're going to capture Tobruk?" Rommel put a hand in his pocket and touched the telegram from the Supreme Command in his pocket. The telegram was the supreme command of the head of state. I am very excited.

The telegram read: "Order your ministry, siege to help, and hit the US-British allied forces, then surrender Tobrook. Prepare for the next stage of the battle."
