Chapter 657 German 21st Armored Division
Abner was stunned when he heard this, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Chi was right. You must know that Rommel is always the title of the desert fox. His cunning is famous, and the guess of this Chinese general is very consistent with Rommel's military style.
So after thinking about it over and over again, Abner decided to call Montgomery.
"General!" said Abner: "The Chinese general believes..."
"Oh my God, Colonel!" Before Abner finished speaking, Montgomery interrupted him and said, "Can you stop mentioning the Chinese general? Why does he think it has nothing to do with me? I don't care at all!"
"General, I think you should care about this!" Abner replied: "In fact, the Chinese general doesn't care. He doesn't intend to tell you, but I think it's necessary to let you know!"
"Okay, I'm listening!" Abner's words made Montgomery a little curious.
"The Chinese general thinks..." Abner replied: "Rommeel is very likely to be playing a trick. It is fake for the Germans to attack Asanda. They just want to transfer our armored divisions so that they can intersperse from the weakness of our defense..."
"Colin!" Hearing this, Montgomery lost interest again. He said simply and directly on the phone: "What you have to do is do your own thing well. We will consider the rest. Are you clear?"
"Yes, General!" Abner answered helplessly.
For some reason, Abner suddenly felt that the general he had always respected was a bastard.
But this cannot be blamed for Montgomery... If there were no "super secrets", Montgomery might have seriously considered Abner, but because of the "super secrets", Montgomery believes that considering the so-called "tranche from the mountain" is completely unnecessary.
At the same time, "Super Confidential" cannot be told to anyone... "Super Confidential" is still super confidential at this time. In order not to let the Germans know the news, only a few people are allowed to know about "Super Confidential" and not allow any discussion or speculation.
So Montgomery couldn't explain why he was so confident in rejecting Abner's idea.
Abner was stunned by the phone for a while before hanging up the phone and chased Zhang Chi in front of the team.
"General!" Abner said to Zhang Chi: "I report your thoughts to General Montgomery!"
Zhang Chi just said "Oh".
"Don't you ask what the result is?" Abner asked.
"Do I need to ask?" Zhang Chi asked back: "The expression on your face has already told me the result!"
"So…what should we do?"
"It's not us!" Zhang Chi replied: "What should you do? That has nothing to do with me, right?"
"How could it be irrelevant?" Abner said excitedly: "We are allies!"
"Ally?" Zhang Chiyang raised the rifle in his hand: "Maybe, but we are training now! We don't even have decent weapons, so those are not what we should worry about, aren't they?"
Upon hearing this, Abner couldn't help but be speechless, because Zhang Chi was right. If the British army would be an ally of the Zhongzhang team, at least they would have to provide necessary weapons and equipment.
Zhang Chi's attitude made Abner anxious because if things were really as Zhang Chi said and Montgomery did not pay enough attention to it, then this war might cause a disaster for the British army...even the British army could completely lose control of the Suez Canal and thus lose control of the Mediterranean.
Thinking of this, Abna couldn't help but stop, took out the map, squatted on the map for a while, and then came up with an idea...
"Okay, General!" When Abner caught up with Zhang Chi again, he said as if he let go of everything, "You are right. Let the big guys consider those things. What we need to care about is training, do you think?"
"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied.
"So...I think it's time for us to strengthen our training!" Abner said: "How about marching twenty-five miles a day?"
"Can you guarantee sufficient water?" Zhang Chi asked.
"There will be no problem!" Abna replied: "We have Disoya, and we march along the Niluo River!"
Zhang Chi had no objection, and now it is almost time to increase the intensity.
So with the order, the troops accelerated their speed to move forward against the wind and sand.
On the same day as the Chinese Expeditionary Force accelerated its march, the tanks of the 21st Armored Division, which had been stinging for a long time, slowly opened the front line under the guidance of small hand lamps of German soldiers... These small hand lamps conveyed the order to take the tanks to the gap in their minefield.
Major General Heinz Landao, the commander of the armored division, stood on one of the No. 4 tanks, quietly observed the darkness ahead with a telescope. He hoped that the enemy in front of him could have transferred the main armored force to Asanda Harbor as General Rommel said.
This does not mean that Heinz Landao is weak. In fact, Heinz Landao commanded the 21st Armored Division and has achieved one shocking record after another on the battlefield in North Africa...
The 21st Armored Division can be said to be the first armored troops to land in North Africa, but at that time its name was the 5th Light Tank Division.
Of course, it is not all the 5th Armored Division. At first, there was only one tank company and less than one hundred light tanks. Later, with more and more tanks and armored vehicles being supplied, it was adapted into the 21st Armored Division.
Heinz Landao was also very helpless in this regard. The head of state never realized the importance of the African battlefield. In the head of state, the African battlefield will always be a secondary battlefield. Therefore, the supplies and tanks that the African legion could get were not enough to support the entire battle.
The reason why the German army won victory again and again was entirely due to General Rommel's genius command and the stupidity of the British team...
Sometimes Heinz Landao couldn't understand why the British always liked defense. They obviously had more supplies and more troops and more tanks. If the British were not defending but attacked like the German team, I was afraid that the German defense line would have collapsed long ago.
Heinz Blue Road will never forget the scene when the Germans first entered North Africa... The light tanks of the 5th Light Armored Division were almost helpless when facing the British "Matilda" tank.
Yes, even the British infantry tanks were more advanced than the German main battle tanks.
The German M tank gun has no choice but to use the 78mm armor of the "Matilda", but the 57mm caliber tank gun on the "Matilda" can easily destroy the "No. 2" tank with only 30mm armor.
Not only that, no anti-tank gun in the German team can penetrate the armor of the "Matilda" tank. Only by hitting the turret or track at close range can it play a role.
