Chapter seven hundred and eight surrounded

There is not much time to say goodbye. Just like last time, Zhang Chi still can't tell Page where he is going or what he is doing. . The fastest update is

All Zhang Chi could do was to hold Page in his arms and kiss him deeply.

Until he stepped on the half-track armored vehicle, Zhang Chi still didn't understand why he did that... His mind was blank at that time, so he did this naturally.

Perhaps, this is because Zhang Chi has seen more steel and wars and needs some gentleness, or Zhang Chi needs the feeling of someone being concerned or being cared about.

Since coming to this world, Zhang Chi has always been alone, without parents or family, as if coming out of a stone.

Although the whole family is full and not hungry, who can understand the loneliness buried in his heart, and who can understand Zhang Chi's fear... In fact, he is always worried that one day when he fell on the battlefield, all his marks disappeared and disappeared, just like he had never come to this world.

But now, at least Zhang Chi knew that there was someone waiting for him to go back.

At least Zhang Chi knew that one day when the war was over, he still had somewhere to go and someone could find it.

Accompanied by the "rumble" of the tank engine, Page's figure became more and more blurred, and finally disappeared into the dust.

"General!" At this time, a correspondent soldier handed a telegram to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi hurriedly took back his heart that had been released, and the telegram read: "The tank regiment of the 133rd Armored Division has crossed Alexandria and headed towards Port Said!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing. After the Italians captured Alexandria, they were not satisfied, and they even wanted to hit the Suez Canal in one breath... Who do they think they are?

They may be learning from the German team, which is the so-called "blitzkrieg".

But the German team's "blitzkrieg" was launched by sufficient intelligence and even sending troops to disguise themselves as the enemy's reconnaissance behind the enemy. What about the Italian army's "blitzkrieg"?

The Italian army didn't even know that there was a strongest armored division on the battlefield in North Africa coming towards them... If they knew this, they should flee in panic instead of advancing with great enthusiasm.

"What are you going to do?" Montgomery asked.

Because this is a little different from the previous plan, everyone would think that the Italian army would temporarily stop and organize the defense line after capturing Alexandria. No one guessed that they would be so ignorant of life and death. To describe it in one sentence, it would be bright if he gave him a little sunshine.

Zhang Chi only answered two words: "Annihilation!"

Since the new first division was adapted into the armored division, although it has carried out several exercises, the exercises are not as good as actual combat, so Zhang Chi intends to use the Yi Army tank regiment to practice his hands.

After opening the map and looking at it, Zhang Chi issued orders one by one.

The combat plan is very simple, surrounded.

Zhang Chi placed a tank battalion and anti-tank battalion on the front, and then the two tank battalions surrounded each other from the two wings... The "Sherman" tank has a speed advantage over the Italian m14 tank with a speed of only 30 kilometers per hour. Moreover, the Italian army at this time had no idea what was waiting for them in front.

The New First Division was divided into several parts and plunged into the desert. The yellow dust stirred by car tires and tank tracks blew into the soldiers' eyes, ears and nostrils. The soldiers and tanks were breathing in the turbid air. Although the sand and gravel were all over the way, the air was filled with the smell of gasoline and smell of smell of sweat, especially in the tank. The soldiers were like a steamer inside, but the soldiers were still driving the tanks forward quickly.

After a while, after crossing a steep slope, Zhang Chi saw a sparse tank coming towards him in the telescope, and then another team, more and more...

"Discover the enemy!" Zhang Chi soon heard the scout report: "Five miles ahead!"

"Stop moving forward!" Zhang Chi ordered.

"Yes, stop moving forward!"

"Stop moving forward!"

...

"Stand Master!" Staff Liang looked at Zhang Chi with some surprise: "Why did you stop?"

The reason why Staff Liang was surprised was that the expeditionary army was significantly stronger than the Italian army, and they were still prepared to fight, which means they could completely crush the opponent, so he believed that at this time, he should speed up and fight a big battle.

Zhang Chi continued to observe while holding up the telescope, and replied: "They are Italian troops, and rushing too fast will scare them away!"

Staff Liang said "Oh" and then he realized Zhang Chi's intention.

Sure enough, Italian tanks stopped after discovering the "enemy situation", but they saw that the number of tanks on the other side was not large, only more than seventy... and the other side stopped.

The meaning of stopping is that the other party is worried that his strength is not as good as his!

This made Colonel Enzo, the commander of the Italian tank regiment, immediately let down half his heart. He immediately reported to Major General Litorio: "General, discover the enemy's armored troops!"

"How many tanks do the enemy have?" Litorio asked.

"There are seventy vehicles!" Enzo replied: "A tank battalion!"

Litorio did not hesitate and ordered without thinking: "Destroy them!"

"Yes!" Enzo responded and then issued an order to attack.

Litorio's idea was that Enzo had more than 300 tanks in his hand, while the enemy only had seventy... The Italian army had an absolute advantage in military strength, so it should be possible to win this battle easily, and even if it could not be conquered, there would be no big problem for the Italian tank regiment to withdraw.

This analysis is fine if it is against infantry tanks such as the British "Matilda" or the Crusader". Although the speed of the m14 tank is only 30 kilometers per hour, it is more than twice that of the British infantry tank, and it also has an advantage in mobility.

But what Litorio did not expect was that in front of the Italian tank regiment was not the British infantry tanks, but the most advanced "Sheerman" on the battlefield in North Africa at this time.

Then, Zhang Chi saw the Italian tanks in a satisfied manner and slowly drove up.

Zhang Chi waved his hand, and the First Tank Battalion also slowly approached the Italian tank group.

At this time, Enzo felt something was wrong, and the enemy looked fearless. When he looked at the enemy tanks in the wind and sand, their models seemed different from the tank models they had seen in the past.

Could it be...

Thinking of Enzo's face changed, then he shouted: "God, the enemy uses the 'Sheerman' tank, retreat immediately! Retreat!"

But it was too late to order the retreat at this time, because the Expeditionary Force's "Sheerman" tank group had accelerated its speed and rushed towards the Italian army.
