North African battlefield, tublug.
The weather was extremely hot, the sun hung high overhead, and the temperature almost exceeded 40 degrees.
This sultry, more people feel some unbearable.
"These days, there is no movement from the Germans." At the fortress command in tublug, klopp said to Wavell.
Now, verville has felt uneasy. A large number of German legions surrounded tubruge. As the British commander-in-chief stationed in Egypt, verville is quite unlucky to be surrounded by the Germans. If there is a fierce battle here and he is killed or captured by the Germans, even if he doesn't care, it will bring a heavy blow to Britain.
Now, Britain is very dangerous and the situation has reached an extremely terrible point.
The Germans destroyed the whole Exeter and shocked the whole world. The Germans have the ability to destroy a city in an instant!
Now, the Germans are standing still. Are they going to destroy tublug like Exeter?
In Europe, the Germans have to pretend to drive the civilians away first, but in North Africa, this primitive and backward area, perhaps the Germans will use the most barbaric way?
Thinking of this, he was afraid, but he knew he couldn't slip away.
The German siege is not tight. At least every night, transport planes from Egypt land near the city to provide them with supplies. If he needs to, he can leave by plane at any time.
However, this will seriously shake the morale of the army. If the defenders know that they, as the commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Middle East, escape in advance at a critical time, they will lose their fighting spirit.
So he didn't do that.
"General, now the Germans outside the city are slowly retreating." At this time, Alan Gordon Cunningham, commander of the British eighth group army who came here with him, said happily to him, "the Germans have retreated!"
Germans, retreat? How is this possible? He immediately stood up.
"After all, the Germans came a long way. Maybe their supplies were blocked?" Fort commander klopp analyzed it.
When the Germans came, they were aggressive and the armored forces were overwhelming. However, military experts have long analyzed that maintaining the operation of such a huge force requires massive logistical supplies. Needless to say, the oil is astronomical. At the same time, the German armored forces, almost all continuous weapons, also have a considerable demand for ammunition.
If the supply is not smooth, they may withdraw!
After hearing what klopp said, Weaver relaxed a little. If so, it would be great. After the Germans withdrew, they should also withdraw immediately. Before the arrival of assistance from the United States, they should not continue to attack. They should defend and protect the most important Suez Canal.
At this time, suddenly, an anxious voice came: "no, no, there are a large number of warships on the sea!"
Outside the city.
"General, our troops have retreated twenty kilometers." The commander of the 5th armored division, general stretcher, said to him.
Now, all the German North African legions have landed in Africa and surrounded the periphery of tubruge. They did not attack immediately because they were waiting!
Waiting for support.
Rommel certainly knows the cruelty of street fighting, especially outside the city. A few Australian soldiers have taught them a vivid lesson. Facing a group of people who are not afraid of death, the German Legion will have great casualties, which Rommel can never bear.
So Rommel asked for help from the base camp. Now, he needs support!
It would be best to blow up the whole city like Exeter, but this kind of bombing has a great cost, and Germany's gain is not worth the loss.
Therefore, a low-cost solution must be used. At Rommel's request, Shrek immediately mobilized the Navy for support.
Unfortunately, the main force of the German Navy is busy with the plan to land in Britain from Plymouth, which is also the most important strategic action of Germany. Therefore, there are not many navies that can be transferred. The main force is only the speber, which is cruising in the Mediterranean at this time and can be quickly arrived.
Therefore, the main force of artillery support this time is the Italian fleet!
When he learned of the arrival of the Italian fleet, Rommel immediately ordered his troops to retreat. The results of the Italian army were obvious to all. They even blew down their North African commander. It would be bad if any gun shot wrong and hit their troops on the head!
So the German army retreated, leaving enough space for the Italian fleet.
During World War II, Italy always regarded the Mediterranean as its territory. Unfortunately, the Italian fleet did not have any decent record in the Mediterranean, and was almost crushed by Britain.
After all, the British navy is strong. In order to chase and kill a German warship, dozens of troops can be mobilized to chase at sea for half a year.
But now, the British navy has never recovered. When the junker-290 bomber flew over Scarpa Bay, the era of British sea power was ended.
Britain had to mobilize warships from the colonies several times to support the mainland. Even the British fleet in Egypt was quite weak. They only dared to send out at night to provide supplies to tubrug.
Now, when the huge Italian fleet appears in front of tubruge, the Italian Navy is in high spirits.
Admiral Ricardo, the new chief of staff of the Italian Navy, personally served as the commander-in-chief of the naval fleet and led a huge fleet to find bad luck for the British. There are four battleships in the whole fleet!
These include the old count of gaffer Class Battleships gaffer and Julio Caesar, the old Cao Durio class battleship and a new Veneto class battleship.
Then came the Italian proud Zara class heavy cruisers "Zara", "fum", "Grazia" and "Bora".
In addition, there are Taranto class heavy cruisers, borgano class heavy cruisers and so on. There are more than 30 warships of all kinds. Now, they are all lined up, with the side facing tublug.
"Now, I order that the shelling begin immediately!" Admiral RickA shouted on the radio.
"Boom!" Flagship gaffer, fire first!
The displacement of this warship is not large, only more than 20000 tons, but the firepower is absolutely against the sky. It has 13 305 mm naval guns!
