There is a reason why Rommel said that "you can't tell the Italians about it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The main thing is that the British are always able to grasp the movements of the German army first, which aroused Rommel's suspicions.

But the British are smart at this point...... The British actually deciphered the German telegraph code from the "super secret", so they knew so much military intelligence, but in order to cover the "super secret", the British poured stolen water on the Italians...... They deliberately spread the word that it was the Italians who revealed the information.

This is killing two birds with one stone, it can not only make the Germans stupid and not know how to change the code, but also create contradictions between Germany and Italy.

Rommel blushed and approached Italian Marshal Caballero for a theory, but Cavalero couldn't be sure if it was his subordinates who revealed the news...... The discipline of the Italian army was sloppy, and it was difficult to keep a strict tone of mouth, and there were even a large number of spies in the Italian army who were bought by the British army.

So Cavalero had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach, and on the other hand, he ordered the intelligence system to conduct a thorough investigation, and even threw several officers into prison, but to no avail.

As a result, Carvalero and Rommel blamed each other...... Rommel was convinced that it must be the problem of the Italian army, while Cavalero believed that the Italian army had already been in position after that, and some information was still in the hands of the British army without even knowing it, which indicated that the German army had a problem.

Rommel, of course, was not convinced, how could something go wrong on the part of the Germans? This must have been Cavalero's incompetence and an excuse for his resignation, as the Italians have always done, so you have been arguing back and forth, which has made the commanders of the two armies very unhappy with each other.

What Rommel and Carvalero didn't know was that it was actually neither the Italian nor the German, but the British......

Although the British army made Rommel suffer a lot of losses in this regard, it also made Rommel more cautious, so Rommel's plan to surprise Maherrama was hardly told to anyone, not even Hitler.

This creates another "boiled frog" effect......

Montgomery was accustomed to getting the latest information from German telegrams, and there was no doubt about the accuracy and timeliness of this information, and Montgomery had good reason to believe that the Germans did not know about the "super secret", so Montgomery was relieved to transfer his tanks and troops to Alexandria.

This time, Montgomery let Rommel play it, Rommel did a full set of plays, and even the telegrams exchanged were about the attack on Alexandria and the latest developments, and Montgomery, who was in order, didn't expect Rommel to play this at all, so he completely followed Rommel's rhythm.

Although Zhang Chi did not participate in the command of the British army, and at the same time he could get very little information, he was still puzzled by the movement of the British army.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force, trained in the desert, ran into the British armored 10th Division.

At this time, the British armored division had received about 300 "Sherman" tanks, and the three British armored units in North Africa, the 7th Panzer Division, the 10th Panzer Division, and the 9th Panzer Brigade, each received about 100 "Sherman" tanks.

After getting the "Sherman" tank, the British armored division looked a little majestic, and when they saw the Chinese troops not even a single mortar not far away, they whistled very arrogantly and shouted at the Chinese troops:

"Hey! Need a ride? ”

"Shout when you can't walk, we'll come and drag your corpse!"

……

Abner showed some embarrassment on his face.

"I'm sorry, General!" "They're under so much pressure on the battlefield that they need to have a little fun!" Abner said. ”

"Uh-huh!" Zhang Chi didn't take this matter too seriously, he only asked, "Who are they?" Where are you going? ”

"They belong to the 10th Panzer Division!" Abner replied: "It's in the direction of Alexandria." You know, the Germans launched a constant onslaught over there! ”

Zhang Chi opened the map and looked at it, then frowned and asked, "Don't you have any armored troops in the direction of Alexandria?" ”

"No, of course!" Abner replied: "There is the 9th armored brigade there!" ”

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Colonel!" Zhang Chi closed the map and said, "Your General Montgomery may have fallen for the Germans!" ”

"What?" Abner couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Can you tell me why?" ”

If it was in the past, Abner might not have disdained Zhang Chi's words at all, but now...... After a period of acclimatization training in the desert with the Chinese army, he felt that this unit was extraordinary, for the simple reason that, at least so far, there was no Eighth Army that had the discipline of the Chinese army, which could walk 20 miles in the desert a day, and consumed only one gallon of water per person per day. In the same situation, the British could only walk half the distance.

What Abner didn't know was that the Chinese Expeditionary Force still didn't use all its strength. This is mainly for the sake of the physical strength of the soldiers, adaptive training, no need to rush to march or force the march.

From this point of view, Stilwell's consideration is correct...... The soldiers of the Chinese army all grew up with hardships, and those who came out of war-torn China did not feel any bitterness at all when they came to this desert. What's more, it's still walking...... Because of the lack of transportation in China, everyone grows from small to large, which is also the reason why the Chinese army is known as the "iron footboard".

Abner is a soldier, and when he sees the quality of the Chinese army, he naturally has a sense of awe for it, so Aiwu Jiwu will take Zhang Chi's idea seriously.

"It's easy!" Zhang Chi packed his bags and motioned for the soldiers to continue marching, and said to Abner, who was following him: "Alexandria is too obvious a target, Rommel has always been surprisingly victorious, and likes to use armored forces to surprisingly intersperse the enemy's defense line with 'blitzkrieg', but now he will continue to send tanks to attack a target that has long been determined......

As he spoke, Zhang Chi shook his head and smiled, deliberately holding back his words and not going on.

Abner was in a hurry, he trotted a few steps after him, and asked, "General, do you think Rommel has any conspiracy?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied: "If I'm not mistaken......"

Zhang Chi raised his head to the tank passing by: "Rommel's purpose is to transfer these troops to Alexandria!" ”
