Darlang also knows that the current war is different from the previous wars.?

However, what he said was "different" means that the role of the Air Force was very small in the past. Bombers were basically sitting in an airplane and then pitching grenades downward. This was also one of the reasons why airboats were popular during World War I... Airboats could carry much more bombs than aircraft.

Therefore, in Darlang's imagination, this battle would not be the battle that Zhang Chi said was unable to do anything to the other side after a long confrontation and suffered huge casualties. The reason is very simple. The French army has strong air force and naval support.

Among them, especially the navy. As a French admiral, Dallang is very confident in the eight quadruple 3mm main guns on the main battleship "Dunkirk". It believes that these giant cannons can destroy any obstacles that block the French army.

"Don't you need a breakthrough?" said Dallang: "The German defense line along the coast is a breakthrough. If necessary, my navy will flatten it. You just need to step on the gravel and the German bodies!"

General Zhu An had no choice but to agree helplessly.

But he was still worried about this. He found Zhang Chi several times and discussed the changes in the war in this era with Zhang Chi... This is rare and valuable, just as Zhang Chi said: "General, for a 55-year-old general, he can still change his inherent thinking and accept new tactical ideas, which is not something that everyone can do!"

"It's true!" General Zhu An replied: "This may be because I have fought and been injured!"

As he said that, General Zhu An raised his hands.

In the first battle, he was injured in two hands, and his right hand was even more serious. Until now, he could still see that it was a bit unnatural, which is why General Zhu An often uses his left hand.

"Because of excessive injury?" Zhang Chi didn't understand what the relationship was between the two.

"Yes!" General Zhu An replied: "Because I was injured, I understand one truth: the battlefield is the most realistic place. If I don't want to die, I must change myself!"

Zhang Chi nodded, and he also empathized with this point.

Although General Zhu An was unhappy, the battle began in full swing on the sixth day.

The first batch of mobile phones were transferred to the front line, namely the Seventh Mobile Phone and the Eighth Mobile Phone.

As mentioned before, the first thing these troops did after being sent to the front line was to unfold, and then began to build fortifications along the Mares line garrisoned by the German and Italian troops.

Zhang Chi was invited by General Zhu An to serve as an advisor on the battlefield. It has to be said that the French army is still very good at building fortifications. After all, they usually train fortifications, and before that, they also built the world's most solid "Magino Line of Defense". They are already very experienced in this. In just a few days, a line of defense was built five kilometers away from the Mares defense line.

"This is at least beneficial!" General Zhu An said: "It can become a base for our offensive!"

Zhang Chi smiled. If Zhang Chi was asked to do it, he would not spend a few days completing a line of defense, but one every day, and build three lines of defense at the same time... This is desert geology, and building a line of defense in a few days is basically a waste of time. There is not much left for the enemy's artillery fire.

After waiting in the defense line for two days, the Fifth Light Mechanized Division arrived at the battlefield.

The Fifth Light Mechanized Division was the main force of the French attack this time. It had more than 100 tanks of various types... These were General Juan's efforts. During his tenure as the commander-in-chief of France in North Africa, he tried every means to constantly smuggle some tanks from France with the acquiescence of the Vichy government.

It is difficult to do this, because most of its tanks were "requisitioned" by the German army after France surrendered.

However, these tanks "requisitioned" have some problems, such as the degree of movement is too slow... In this regard, France is similar to Britain, and it feels that tanks are mainly used to support infantry, so the degree does not need to be too fast. Most of the main tanks are about twenty kilometers at a time, and a few can reach more than forty kilometers.

These tanks are obviously incompatible with German tanks and their tactical requirements for blitzkrieg, so most of the tanks were converted into self-propelled artillery or transport vehicles.

The modification was naturally done by the French. During this process, the Vichy government occasionally brought out several cars and secretly transported them to Algeria. After a long time, it even collected more than 100 cars and organized them into a light mechanic.

But this light mechanized division... made Zhang Chi really not quite satisfied, because Zhang Chi found that their cooperative infantry was actually riding a bicycle!

When the coordinated infantry generally use armored vehicles, the French light mechanized division even rode bicycles.

However, this does not seem surprising, because it is a French colonial army after all, and France surrenders. It is impossible for Germany to allow France to have much funding to expand its army.

On the other hand, French tanks are slow and can keep up with them while riding a bicycle.

From this point of view, France's tactical ideas are more advanced than those of the British... British tanks are more than ten kilometers long, and infantry can keep up with them when walking, while France is at least a bicycle is maneuverable.

At the same time, watching the French build the defense line, the German army commander General Von Anime.

Originally, he was worried that the fortifications he had built hastily with the French fortifications could block the enemy's attack...

Because during this period, Von Anime got almost all bad news, losing air supremacy, and the supply line was cut off, which was almost fatal to the African army, because they had just arrived in Tunisia for a short time, and a large amount of supplies had not been shipped, which made Von Anime start to reduce the rations of soldiers a few days ago and even let the soldiers go to the local people to "collect" food.

If the food is barely supported, then fuel is an Ainim's heart disease... Animim came here with an armored division, with more than 300 tanks, but these tanks face the problem of insufficient fuel and inability to fight.

Otherwise, Anim would have been afraid that he would have sent the armored divisions out now and beat the French to the point of fleeing.

But now, he could only watch it like a cheetah watching the prey right in front of him but could not attack.

But at the same time, Anim was relieved.
