Chapter 716 Ambush

At five o'clock the next morning, the phone number from Rommel Command rang "Ding Ding Ding"... The fastest update

After Thomas answered, he covered his microphone and whispered to Rommel: "It's Marshal Cavalero. Do you want to tell him that you are asleep?"

During this period, Rommel has been avoiding direct calls with Cavalero, and Thomas has gotten used to it.

But unexpectedly, Rommel shook his head and took the microphone, and said to it: "Good morning, Marshal!"

"God, you are finally free!" Cavalero was furious about Rommel's previous "avoidance". Although he knew Rommel did this on purpose, he was helpless. At this time, he couldn't help but complain: "Your staff officer has been telling me that you are not here. I wonder, can your plane fly in the air for two days?"

"Sorry, Mr. Marshal!" Rommel replied: "You know, our defense is very long, and it takes a long time to walk around!"

From this we can also see that Cavalero and Rommel are not commanders at the same level. As a marshal, Cavalero will exaggerate his resentment on the phone, while Rommel responded calmly.

"Okay!" said Cavalero. "General Rommel, I think you already know that my 133rd Armored Division is trapped in Asanda. Do you have any ideas about this?"

"Please wait!" Rommel raised the microphone as he said that.

After a while, a "rumble" sound of cannons came from outside.

"Did you hear it?" Rommel asked withdrew the microphone.

"You mean..." Cavalero was a little uncertain.

"Yes!" Rommel replied: "We have launched an attack on Asanda, which is a shelling attack on the enemy's defense line. I believe that the siege of Asanda will no longer exist after dawn!"

"Great!" Cavalero's tone suddenly seemed to have changed: "Thank you very much, General, I knew you would not ignore the 133rd Armored Division. I would be relieved if you go to rescue you... By the way, do you need me to do anything?"

"You can let the 133 armored division break through after dawn!" Rommel said: "This can put some pressure on the enemy from the inside!"

Rommel doesn't expect the 133 Armored Division to play a big role, but it's better than nothing. If you can use it, use it!

"Okay!" Cavalero replied, and then added: "General, next time I hope you can tell me early!"

"Okay!" Rommel replied.

But in fact, Rommel has always been worried that the Imperial Army would leak intelligence, so if there is another time, he will do this.

The Germans did fire at the Chinese defense line of Maherama, but this was not an attack, but to cover the advancement of the German tank troops.

The "tiger" type needs to march at night due to temperature problems, but there will be a problem with marching at night: the "rumble" sound of the tank engine will expose the German army's offensive intentions and even their directions.

These cannon sounds can cover up all this well.

Like last time, Heinz Blue Road had already crossed the armored troops through his minefield in advance. When the cannon sounded, he gave an order. The 21st Armored Division advanced towards the direction of Asanda Harbour in the dark.

Looking at the tanks rumbled by, Heinz Landao couldn't help but silently chanting: "Chinese, I'm here!"

What Heinz Landao didn't know was that the Chinese were also waiting for him, and it was faster than he thought.

Zhang Chi divided the troops into three parts and ambushed them in three parts to form a large triangle... This is because Zhang Chi could only know the route the enemy was going through. In fact, there were roads everywhere in the desert, and they could even go around in a big circle as long as the Germans wanted.

The advantage of dividing three parts into triangles is that no matter which direction the enemy comes from, these three parts can be attacked and the third part can be surrounded by them.

While lying in the desert, Zhang Chi once again analyzed the situation between the enemy and us, believing that choosing night battle was correct.

First of all, let’s not talk about whether to fight with precautions, more importantly, night battles can greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the "Tiger" tanks...

As the data says, the artillery used by the Tiger tank is an 88 anti-aircraft gun, which can destroy the Sherman tank at 1,500 meters away. In other words, the Tiger tank has a very long range. This advantage can be maximized if it is during the day.

But if it is at night...it will undoubtedly be limited by visual distance.

In addition, the weight of the "Tiger" tank determines that it is not flexible enough, especially the desert here. The loose sand will definitely be a "Tiger"-style nightmare, which will bring more opportunities to the lighter and more flexible "Sheerman".

Just as he was thinking, the sound of cannons in the direction of the German army started to sound.

When Zhang Chi heard the cannon sound, he knew that he was right and the Germans were about to attack.

Sure enough, Zhang Chi saw several side three-wheeled and an armored vehicle passing by nearby, and they got off from time to time to explore.

These are the German scouts and engineers, who are specifically exploring the way for the "Tiger" tanks... This is the routine of "Tiger" dispatch. Wherever the "Tiger" style goes, there must be a large number of scouts and engineers in the front. The scouts test the road surface and the engineers reinforce the bridges to ensure that the "Tiger" style can pass.

Zhang Chi found that the route of the German engineers' detection was slightly deviated from some ambush circles he set up, but it was not a deviation, that is, it was too close to one point, and almost passed through the edge of the ambush point No. 1.

It is too far away from the ambush points of No. 2 and No. 3, so it will take more than ten minutes to arrive at the full speed.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to adjust the position at this time. At this time, German scouts are everywhere in the darkness. If you have any abnormal movements, you will expose your combat intentions in advance.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi whispered to the walkie-talkie: "No. 1 will not attack for the time being, wait for No. 2 and No. 3 to get closer!"

"No. 1 understands!"

"No. 2 understands!"

"No. 3 understands!"

Zhang Chi's words actually did not express what he was going to say very clearly, but this did not hinder the implementation of the plan... Several regiment leaders had been fighting with Zhang Chi for a while. As soon as Zhang Chi spoke, they could guess what to do next.

After a while, a "rumble" sound came from the darkness of the desert, and then it became louder and louder, and soon a group of slowly advancing tanks appeared in Zhang Chi's sight.
