The rumors that the American Sherman tank is not easy to deal with are indeed true, Heinz saw with his own eyes that several No. 4s were aimed at a lone Sherman tank, the frontal armor and turret of this tank at least withstood more than 5 rounds of long-barreled 75mm gun armor-piercing shells and still insisted on counterattacking, fortunately, the British artillery also lacked the right head did not pose a threat to the attacker, the two sides exchanged fire from 1500 meters to 700 meters, and the No. 4 finally penetrated Sherman's frontal armor. Heinz thus had a clear understanding of Sherman's combat effectiveness, and when they met again, he no longer exchanged fire, but commanded 12 tanks to attract head-on and then sent another vehicle to the side to shoot, but fortunately, the British did not have many Shermans, and did not cause too much trouble to the Germans.

With the passage of time, although the command of the British troops is still scattered, but the spontaneous resistance of the small units has become more and more tight, except for the initial position of the Indians is relatively fragile, and the tanks were pierced and collapsed not long after the exchange of fire, the resistance of the rest of the troops is very tenacious, especially the counterattack of the 6th Infantry Brigade of New Zealand made Heinz even more sad, they used the only 3 anti-tank guns in their hands to reimburse their 3 No. 3 and 1 No. 4 short-barreled tanks, so that the armored battalion that was originally prepared for a hard breakthrough had to retreat. Gave up this hard nut to chew.

At this time, he remembered Guderian's earnest teachings before leaving: you must not fall in love with war, let alone fall into positional warfare, otherwise you will definitely be beaten to death by the British who reacted, he flicked a shot and led his men to avoid this enemy force in a long circle, and the New Zealanders on the position also broke out a strong cry when they saw the German tanks gone, and felt more excited than winning the battle.

Now he began to hate that his side had too few troops, and if this raid had given him not only 67 tanks, but 167 tanks plus a reliable Panzergrenadier Division, he would have been confident that he would have "packed" all the 7 or 8 British divisions and brigades here, instead of wandering around and attacking like now, and no loot or prisoners would be found. Of course, if there were such abundant troops, maybe the commander would not have retreated.

"Note that there is a British field oil depot in front, which is full of hundreds of barrels of gasoline, and the enemy has fled and has no defenses." Suddenly, a tank commander reported to the command vehicle.

Heinz was overjoyed and shouted to his subordinates into the throat microphone: "The oil depot ahead is refueled in batches, pay attention to vigilance, and the total time should not exceed 10 minutes." ”

The remaining 61 tanks were refueled and returned to the road, and a few tankmen who had escaped because the tanks were destroyed grabbed a few British armored vehicles and followed behind the rear of the line.

The time had pointed to 5:45 p.m., and after 45 minutes of fierce fighting, the German armored battalion finally tore a big hole in the British defense system, and detoured to the southern flank of Delm Hafeld Mountain.

"Cannons! Where did the cannon sound come from? Montgomery, who was in deep thought in the Command, suddenly cried out in alarm, and jumped from his chair with a brisk walk.

Dragan hurriedly walked in and reported: "Sir, I have received a report from the 7th Panzer Division, the sound of artillery is coming from the southernmost position, it seems that they are exchanging fire with the Germans. ”

"The Germans came from that soft sand?" Montgomery suddenly became excited, "How many troops are coming, and where is the main force of the enemy at present?" ”

"It's not clear, the phone is very noisy, the contact with the front line is intermittent, and not a single reliable telegram has been received." Dragan was very embarrassed and said, "Judging from the sound of artillery fire, the movement is not too big, could it be another Guderian feint?" ”

"Go and find out the situation immediately, maybe we can teach Guderian a lesson that he will never forget" Montgomery's words were just finished when suddenly the characteristic shrill screams of German JU87 Stuka bombers sounded not far away, followed by violent explosions.

"Oh no, the Germans have attacked the airfield, this is not a feint, this is real" Montgomery's headquarters was located not far from the airfield, and he could hear it clearly, at least 8 or more dive bombers had dropped bombs just now, why was the air defense of the airfield so lax? He didn't know that this was a complete wrongful attack on the airfield, and the airport lookout post had reported the news of the approaching large group of German planes long before he heard the explosion, and when the terrible sirens sounded, they were already in a state of relaxation, and the British pilots who were preparing to take a shower and eat were stunned, and no one expected a large group of German planes to arrive at this time. They screamed, threw down their toiletries or lunch boxes, and rushed to the tarmac like crazy, where many planes were already taxiing and taking off, and it was the planes on duty to support their own forces that were still in the air.

But when the planes had just taken off and had not yet been fully assembled, the Germans suddenly struck a formation of nearly 200 fighters, and they swooped down from the sky at great speed, caught the British planes that had taken off in a hurry, and opened fire fiercely. Judging by the model, these planes were almost all F190s, and the commander of the airport, Colonel Christopher, swore that they had been exchanging fire with the Germans for months, and had never seen so many F190s except for the F190 that the Afrika Star had remodeled, which shocked everyone.

This formation is none other than the JG3 Udet Fighter Wing that the mustachioed General Garland recently transferred, and they couldn't wait to participate in the battle on the second day after arriving in Africa, but Guderian stopped them, he wanted to use this new force when it was most needed, so he deliberately suppressed their request to fight**, at most, let them drive the original African Army's BF109 to familiarize themselves with the battlefield situation. The careless British only knew that the Germans had been fighting fiercely in the past few days, but they did not know that although the other side was the same group of planes, it was not the same group of people who exchanged fire with them, and they did not expect that the other side was actually hiding their backs.

The F190 that fell from the height gave full play to its advantages, and the British Hurricane, Spitfire, and P40 fighters who were disadvantaged in speed, formation, and height had no power to resist, and fell down like dumplings, and the most striking thing in the melee was still the yellow No. 14 This is Marseilleu's plane, he is used to shooting at a high-altitude deflection angle instead of an ordinary rear-end attack, and as soon as he saw it, he killed 2 Spitfires before the other party could react, Then he set his sights on the Tomahawk fighter of Major Duke of the 112th Squadron, the number one ace of the British North African theater. Major Duke's personal cumulative results were only 26, but because he was good at judging the situation and seeing that the situation was not good, he slipped away, and avoided the duel with Marseille on the battlefield several times, and the pilots of the German Eighth Air Force had been helpless against him, but this time he finally couldn't dodge, Marseilleu bit him to the death, and after a few chasing dives, Marseilleu killed the old opponent with a crisp and neat way to hit the enemy plane and exploded in the air, and there was no chance to parachute.

After the German aircraft group effectively controlled the air supremacy around the airfield, the original BF109s of the African Army escorted the bomber formation belatedly, and then there was the explosion that Montgomery heard. Anti-aircraft guns around the airfield also fired, but the artillerymen who rushed into battle were clearly not on point, and instead were attacked by bombers and fighters that swept away the ground resistance
