A total of 650,000 troops were dispatched in this battle, including 250,000 German troops and 400,000 British troops. Among the 400,000 British troops, 50,000 were British troops themselves, and the remaining 350,000 were native troops.
In terms of numbers, the British army has almost twice the strength advantage, but in terms of equipment, the German army has shown a crushing trend.
The comparison of heavy weapons between the two sides is almost one-sided. Rommel’s troops have three armored divisions, 1,000 tanks of various types, in addition to nearly 1,000 armored vehicles and hundreds of assault artillery.
The number of tanks and armored vehicles of the British army is 0, but they also have a cavalry unit, and their mobility is not particularly bad.
The British army, which lacks tanks and armored vehicles, has an advantage in manpower, but they soon realized that modern warfare is no longer a battle of simply competing in numbers!
Advanced equipment and excellent tactics are the key to victory!
However, at this time, the British commander did not see the large number of German tanks and armored vehicles.
The three armored divisions of the German army had previously left the German army in the name of stopping the French army. At this time, the troops of these three divisions had arrived around the battlefield and blocked the British army’s retreat on the periphery.
However, these British commanders certainly did not know. After he saw that the German army had lost the troops of these three divisions on the front battlefield, he was relieved!
Although the German army had more troops than he expected, at least the three most powerful divisions of the other side were not here, so they still had the strength to fight!
Moreover, at this time they had all arrived at the edge of the Suez Canal, hundreds of miles away from Kailuo City. In this case, it would be difficult for the British army to retreat unscathed. If they retreated, the German army would definitely rush up and bite them. At that time, their losses would only be greater, and they might even be completely destroyed!
Therefore, knowing that this battle was not easy to fight, the British commander still ordered an attack!
Attacking is the only correct choice. If they can successfully defeat the German army, then they can retreat safely!
Driven by the British army, more than 300,000 Aiji troops acted as cannon fodder and first launched an attack on the German army.
Although the King of Aiji had decided to surrender to Hans and hold Hans’ thighs tightly, the king’s control over his army was very weak. Their army was basically all in the hands of the British army at this time, and they could not command their own troops.
In this case, the German army would not be polite to them.
Seeing the British army launched an attack, the German artillery immediately began to fire at the enemy, and the British army saw the German army opening fire, and immediately used artillery to counterattack the German army, trying to suppress the German artillery and provide cover for their own attack!
Unlike the Aiji army that fled before, that time the Aiji army fought alone, and there was no British army behind them to supervise the battle, so they ran as they wanted, but this time the situation was different.
There were 50,000 fully armed British troops behind them supervising them!
If they dared to turn around and run without firing a shot, the machine guns in the army would not be polite to them!
As a result, after the German artillery fire sounded, many soldiers were frightened. After seeing their companions died tragically, they immediately lost their courage and turned around to run. As a result, they were shot by the British machine gunners after they took a few steps and were killed on the battlefield!
“”He who retreats will die, and whoever dares to retreat will suffer the consequences!”
The British soldier in charge of supervising the battle pointed at the bodies of the deserters on the ground and said to these Aiji soldiers ferociously.
Seeing their companions being slaughtered by the British army, these Aiji people dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Although they were very angry, the great prestige that the British army had built up in their hearts for a long time still made them dare not easily resist the British army, and they could only be forced to move forward to attack the German army.
The British army is not easy to mess with, but is the German army easy to mess with?
The German artillery fire is much more fierce than that of the British army!
For a time, a large number of Aiji soldiers were strangled by the German machine guns, mortars, howitzers and other joint weapons. The screams on the battlefield were one after another, and large numbers of Aiji soldiers fell. On the way to charge!
Rommel advocates offense and rarely fights defensive battles, but today he is out of character and is clearly displaying his troops here, acting as if he is going to fight a defensive battle with the British.
This makes the British commander feel a little puzzled, because this is somewhat different from the intelligence they have, but if you think about it a little, you can understand why Rommel did this!
All his armored forces have been withdrawn. Without armored forces, he can only fight such a defensive battle!
This is not a bad thing for them. After all, in a defensive battle, the German army is not as strong as the German army in an offensive!
So, the British commander sent the British troops around him He also invested in it, intending to increase the strength and strive to break the German defense line as soon as possible!
His decision directly led to the destruction of this British army!
In fact, although Rommel had already made targeted deployments, because the British army had a cavalry, he was afraid that if he launched it in advance, the British army might escape. If he could not completely wipe out this British army, this battle would be a pity even if it was a great victory. So he was very patient and kept waiting!
Finally, the commander on the opposite side couldn’t bear it anymore, and the entire army was dispatched to launch a fierce attack on the weaknesses exposed in their defense line. Once the opponent moved like this, the German army’s general offensive could be launched!
For a time, the ambushed The three armored divisions of the German army around the battlefield immediately set out and rushed towards the British army from the left, right and rear!
When the British commander saw the three armored divisions, his head buzzed and he was stunned!
What’s going on? Haven’t these three German troops been sent out to deal with the Gauls?
Why are they here?
Could it be that the German army deliberately deceived him before, and their troops didn’t leave at all?
Thinking of this, a chill rose from the soles of his feet. The appearance of these three armored divisions of the German army here means that the German army has already planned this operation, and they have fallen into the trap of the German army from the beginning!
“”Retreat, retreat quickly!”
The British commander shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping to retreat!
However, at this time, a scene that shocked him greatly happened: the Aiji army, which had been trembling with fear and awe of them before, suddenly turned its guns, turned its back on them, and began to actively attack them!
This scene made the British commander completely desperate: it seemed that he had missed a step, and the German army had actually instigated the Aiji people!
It’s over, they are completely finished!
The British commander’s intuition was not wrong. Under the front and back attacks of the German army and the rebellion of the Aiji army, this British army was completely defeated without any suspense, and Rommel wiped out the Aiji British army and captured more than 300,000 Aiji troops. The army in his hands expanded to 600,000 people at once!
