After a moment of silence, Jon said, "I think we should do something!"

As he said that, Jon quickly ran back to the command center along the traffic trench and sent a telegram to Montgomery: "General, the German fighter planes are searching for the Chinese armored regiment. If the Germans find the location of the Chinese armored regiment, then everything is over! I ask for air support!"

Montgomery looked at the telegram for a while, then frowned: "What do you mean?"

Ramsden next to him quickly reacted, explaining: "General, the Chinese hid the armored regiment somewhere in the desert, which made the Germans afraid to attack Maherama!"

Montgomery couldn't help but say "Oh".

Although Montgomery did not agree with Zhang Chi's approach, he actually did not agree with Zhang Chi's disobedience and proposition. But at the same time, Montgomery also knew that this was not the time to talk about personal grudges, so he immediately ordered the fighter planes in Port Said to take off and reinforce Maherama.

After sending the telegram, Montgomery did not forget to curse: "Damn, they should have told me earlier that at least we will have more time to prepare and cooperate with their actions! These Chinese people just want to be heroes and ignore the overall situation!"

"General!" said Ramsden: "If they tell you the plan, I think you will reject it!"

Montgomery couldn't help but speak out.

Ramsden is right, Montgomery cannot agree to such a crazy plan... As long as the Germans find the Chinese armored regiment, it will be "everything is over" as Jon said, and it doesn't seem difficult for the Germans to find an armored regiment.

But Montgomery was wrong about this, and Rommel and Heinz Lantra were wrong.

Just as Heinz Blue Road organized tank troops and anti-tank artillery units, waiting for news from the reconnaissance forces, so that when the Chinese armored regiment was discovered and launched an attack, crisp gunfire came one after another...

Heinz Landao felt something was wrong when he heard the gunshot, because the gunshots were not all in one piece, but one sound was passed through.

Heinz Landao was not afraid of hearing gunshots, because it meant that the reconnaissance forces had found the enemy.

but……

If it's a sound across, it means...

Heinz Bluedo quickly understood something and couldn't help but curse: "Damn it!"

Sure enough, the communications soldier ran up to report: "General, we lost contact with the Second Reconnaissance Unit, and the enemy has arranged snipers in the desert!"

Heinz Bluedao took off his white gloves anxiously, took out the map and found the location of the second reconnaissance unit, but before he could order a few more gunshots came from another direction, and the gunshots were accompanied by several explosions... Heinz Bluedao looked in the direction where the gunshots came like a conditioned reflex.

As expected, another correspondent soldier reported: "It was the Fifth Reconnaissance Team, they... all died!"

Heinz Landao couldn't help but ask: "Fifth Reconnaissance Team, they have armored reconnaissance vehicles!"

"The enemy has a bazooka!" The correspondent replied: "There are landmines!"

Heinz Landao was stunned and then ordered: "Call all the reconnaissance units back!"

"yes!"

Rommel got the news soon.

"Sniper?" Rommel was surprised: "It is indeed a good idea, but when will the Chinese have snipers?"

Rommel finally underestimated the Chinese troops, or the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

The difficulty facing the German army now is: the desert may be full of Chinese army snipers, but the German army cannot see anything... The desert is their best protective color. These snipers only need to lie on the ground in desert camouflage, and it will be difficult for people to discover them. They can even bury themselves with sand.

Even if they fired, white smoke would soon be blown away by the wind and sand, which led to the entire squad of many German reconnaissance aircraft being wiped out and they didn't know where the enemy was hiding.

"Maybe!" said Heinz Blue, "I should send a tank to search!"

"You mean tanks with a speed of 20 kilometers per hour in the desert?" Rommel asked back.

Heinz Landao also knows that this is unrealistic...

It is obviously not feasible to search with tank reconnaissance. On the one hand, it is the tank's external perception ability and limited observation range.

Even tank searches require carrying infantry, otherwise it will be easily killed by the enemy from a dead corner with grenades or rocket launchers. If the infantry is carried, it will not be able to avoid the sniper attack...

Heinz Bluedao would say this because it seems unrealistic for Rommel to search for the Chinese Armored Regiment...unless the Germans consume a lot of energy and pull out the snipers bit by bit.

But the Germans obviously did not have so much time because they received intelligence and the British armored troops were on their way to reinforcements for Maherama.

At this time, another shout came from the German army: "General, the enemy's plane!"

Heinz Bluedor looked in the direction of the sound and saw more than a dozen "Spray Flame" fighters appearing in the air... Heinz Bluedor frowned when he saw the new fighter of the British. In the past, the British used mostly "Hurricane" fighters and "Tomahawk" fighters with lagging performance. In addition, the British's traditional backward formation method made the German army once control air supremacy over North Africa and the Mediterranean. However, since the British Air Force fully replaced the "Spray Flame" fighter this year, the situation has undergone fundamental changes.

(Note: This is also one of the reasons why Rommel was defeated in North Africa in history. When air superiority is tilted towards the British side, the British army's advantages become increasingly obvious.)

"Air defense preparation!" Rommel shouted.

German soldiers prepared anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns and were ready to shoot.

But these "Spray Flame" fighter jets did not attack the German tank group. They soon scattered in pairs and searched for German reconnaissance aircraft and bombers on the periphery...

Then there was a fight in the air. The German reconnaissance planes flew smartly to the German air defense area to get ground support, but the performance of the "Spray Flame" fighter jets was much better than theirs. After a while, one German reconnaissance plane after another burst out of the air with black smoke and blew and fell off.

So Heinz Landao knew that it was impossible to continue searching for the Chinese armored regiment, even if he was really willing to send tanks to search now...

Because it is obvious that Maherama is closer to the British air base, and the British fighter jets have better performance, and air supremacy is obviously on the British side.
