Then, as everyone knows, the Germans blockaded Maherama with tanks and artillery. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Colonel Abner!" Jon looked through his binoculars at the German tanks outside Maherama and asked Abner with some trepidation: "You have been in contact with these Chinese for a longer time, as far as you know...... What kind of team are they? ”

Abner didn't understand what Jon meant, and asked, "What do you want to know?" ”

"I mean......" Jon replied, "will they give up on Maherama and escape alone?" You know, the main target of the Germans was maherama, and Chinese had a lot of mechanized equipment in their hands......"

"Enough!" Abner interrupted Jon, "Colonel, please maintain at least the demeanor of a commander!" If the Chinese military would do that, they could have done it last night! You know, last night they fought bravely with 80 tanks against 300 tanks of the Germans, and we did nothing, but now you are doubting their courage! ”

"Well, just as I didn't say anything!" Jon spread his hands: "But...... Captain. Why are they pulling out the armored forces again and not defending Maherama? It's the supplies and fuel here that need the most protection, and they're also the targets of the Germans, aren't they? ”

Hearing this, Abner couldn't help but be speechless, because he didn't understand the Chinese army's approach either, and if Maherama fell into the hands of the Germans, it would be all over.

Unbeknownst to Abner and Jon, the German commander was in a dilemma.

Heinz Landau was furious at last night's losses, and he understood that he had been fooled last night, that this was the worst mistake of his life, and at the same time the heaviest loss suffered by the 21st Panzer Division...... Heinz Landau saw it as a disgrace and was eager to regain his dignity in the ensuing battle.

"Soldiers of the 21st Panzer Division!" Heinz Landau inspired his subordinates: "The losses we suffered last night will definitely be multiplied from the enemy today, and we will also grab more tanks and gasoline from them to replenish our tank regiment!" ”

But Heinz's move was stopped by Rommel's telegram.

"The armored regiment of the Chinese army is not in Mahairama!" Rommel said: "Intelligence shows that they left before the early hours of the morning and no one knows where they are going!" ”

As the commander of the 21st Armored Division and a veteran of tank group operations, Heinz couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he knew why the Chinese army did this.

"Looks like we've got a cunning opponent!" Heinz replied: "The Chinese army is doing this, obviously so that we don't dare to attack Maherama with all our might!" ”

"Yes!" Rommel replied.

Heinz Landau is right, if the Chinese armored regiment is in Mahairama, things will be simple, the 21st Panzer Division can attack Maherama with the coordination of the air force, which is not difficult for the German 21st Panzer Division, even if it suffered heavy losses last night.

However, if the Chinese Panzer Regiment was outside and was not sure of its location, the German 21st Panzer Division would have been a thorn in the back.

It is conceivable that when the 21st Panzer Division launched an attack on Maherama, the Chinese Panzer Regiment could attack the Germans from any direction or even the rear, and the strength of the Chinese Panzer Regiment proved to be not to be underestimated last night.

"What are you going to do?" Rommel asked.

"Attack!" Heinz Landau replied without thinking.

You can't always go wrong with answering "offense" when asking questions like this, because Rommel likes to attack.

Then Heinz Landau added: "I will divide the troops into two parts, one part to attack Maherama, and the other part to defend against the Chinese armored regiment!" ”

But to Heinz's surprise, Rommel rejected the plan.

"No!" Rommel said: "Do you think that if we are divided into two parts, we will still be able to stop the attack of the Chinese armored regiments?" ”

Rommel was right, if it had been before last night, the 21st Panzer Regiment might have the strength to fight in two parts. But now...... After losing more than 100 tanks, the Germans only had 200 tanks in total, and if they were divided into two parts and the performance of the tanks was very different from the "Sherman", it would be very difficult to resist the attack of the Chinese armored regiment.

To be precise, Rommel would not hesitate to agree to this plan if it was against the British, but the opponent was the Chinese armored regiment...... From last night's battle, Rommel saw that the commander of the Chinese armored regiment was different from the straw bales of the British army, and he knew how to seize the initiative in the war and not defend passively.

"Then the general......" Heinz Landau was a little confused: "Then what should we do?" ”

"Get ready for battle!" Rommel said: "While blockading Maherama, send reconnaissance units to find out and annihilate the Chinese armored regiment!" ”

"Yes!"

The German army was well versed in this point, and a large part of the reason why their blitzkrieg was invincible on the European battlefield was due to the professionalism and speed of the reconnaissance troops.

This reconnaissance includes both ground and air, with three-wheeled vehicles, motorcycles, and armored reconnaissance vehicles on the ground, and reconnaissance planes, bombers, and fighter planes in the air.

Rommel's plan should be said to be reasonable, since the Chinese armored regiment has become a thorn in the German army, then pull out this thorn first.

At the same time, Rommel knew that in order to be able to threaten the security of the German Panzer Divisions, the hiding points of the Chinese armored regiments would not be too far from Maherama...... If it takes a long time to arrive too far, the Germans can be ready for battle during this time.

So, Rommel was confident that he would find the Chinese armored regiment. At that time, Maherama was in the pockets of the German army.

Jon was a little confused by this series of actions of the German army, he looked at the reconnaissance plane hovering in the air, and asked puzzledly: "Why don't they attack?" What are they waiting for? ”

"I see!" "They were looking for the Chinese armored regiments, but they didn't find them...... The Germans did not dare to attack, because Germany was afraid that the Chinese armored regiment would give them a blow from behind! God, these Chinese are too powerful, they are brave and smart, aren't they? ”

After a long time, Jon nodded and said, "I think you're right, Colonel, they're great!" ”
