ps: Let you wait for a long time, there will be another chapter later...

Urmi Lake, also known as Urmiye Lake, is a saltwater lake. It is shaped like a seahorse (similar to the Caspian Sea). The longest ends are 140 kilometers long, the widest is 55 kilometers, the narrowest is less than 20 kilometers, the deepest is about 16 meters, and the area once reached 4,500 square kilometers. It is one of the largest lakes in the Middle East and the third largest saltwater lake in the world. By the 21st century, the area of ​​the lake had been greatly reduced, with only 120 kilometers north and south, and the narrowest is only a little more than 10 kilometers, but in 1943, the scale was still relatively large.

Now, even the slowest people have reacted. The German army seemed aimless some time ago, and they did not grasp the slightest focus. No matter how German reconnaissance planes go to North Persia and the Transcaucasus to investigate, they always have to pass around Lake Ur intentionally or unintentionally on the way back. The fixed thinking style will make people only pay attention to where the reconnaissance planes have gone, but they don’t understand that it is also possible to detect when they come back.

After taking Urumie, Tabriz was under the direct threat of the German military peak. The Red Army Middle East Army, which was rushing toward Tehran, immediately changed its combat deployment. Except for a small number of troops continuing to go to Tehran, the remaining troops consciously retreated and prepared to defend Tabriz and maintain the rear of the Middle East Army. The cautious Qiulenev repeatedly asked Lieutenant General Mezov to keep the Tabriz defense system complete and the rear was consolidated.

Just after the Red Army made emergency adjustments and deployments, the German army, which was already in the west of Lake Urumie, began to stay and gather the troops and build fortifications, and seemed to have no intention of attacking. Just when everyone could not bear to eat Rommel wanted to do something, the Middle East Army issued an order, and the main force of the 15th Armored Division and the Great German Division in Isfahan quickly approached north, marching more than 200 kilometers in four days and three nights, and captured Kum and Kashan in southern Tehran, only more than 120 kilometers away from Tehran. But strangely, he did not choose a drum.

In the air attack, after taking down Coom, he chose to pause on the spot, allowing the troops to gather slowly, and at the same time received the supplies from the rear. In Persia, the combat in Persia was much stronger than the North African desert at the time. The oil needed was basically open to supply. Not only did the German army seize a fleet of refined oil, but the Abadan refinery, which was damaged by Britain, maintained a refining capacity of about 1 million tons. Currently, domestic technical experts from Iraq and Germany are rushing to go, and Sperer is optimistic that the refinery can restore to a refining capacity of 3 million tons by June.

Behind this series of dazzling offensive actions, all eyes were once again messy, but everyone has to admit that although Rommel's tricks seemed to be uneven, like an intern officer who had just graduated from military academy and had no practical experience was doing it, it was difficult to deal with it:

What is the real purpose of the German army? Baku, Tabriz, Tehran? Each is very similar, but it seems that each is not similar. Even Keitel and Yodel are not sure about Rommel's thoughts. They just think he is too imaginative and completely out of order.

"First of the People's Republic of China, to the truth, I am still surprised by Erwin's actions to release the British."

The Middle East Army's move to let the remnants of the British 10th Army was approved by Hoffman. Although Kettle, Yodel and Kesseling said they did not understand it, Hoffman still gave him great trust and support and decided to let him do it.

"Actually, it's nothing. Just General Wilson's defeated soldiers, what can I do if I retreat to India and Afghanistan? If I don't fight this time, next time there will be people who will deal with them and these soldiers who have survived the disaster can still promote our army's wise and powerful force in India, and we should not be brave!"

"Is that possible?" Keitel and Yodel both showed suspicion.

"Of course." Hoffman smiled, "How can we hide their failures without exaggerating the sharpness of our offense and the strength of our combat effectiveness? We are not even as good as ours?"

The two of them immediately laughed knowingly.

"I didn't understand Erwin's current actions, and he reported them vaguely, but that's OK. I believe he can do it well. Commanding an Army Group is the job of the marshal, not the commander-in-chief of the army. I just need to give him what he needs." Hoffman asked, "Has Prince Eugen gone up?"

"I have already set off. This time I go to the Balkans, Greece, and Haifa. I can start landing in three days, and the entire army will be deployed in 10-15 days."

"Very good, how is it there in Goodrian?"

"Yesterday, it was reported that Kasmud had been taken down, but not many enemy troops were eliminated, and only more than 2,000 prisoners were captured, and the rest of the British troops continued to flee. He left an Egyptian division to defend in Kasmud, and then led the remaining troops to continue to attack south. It is expected to cross the border between Sudan and Ethiopia in three days. The Flying Fortress Armored Brigade had invaded French Somaliland (Djibouti) in the early stage and is currently on the border and will be with the African Group.

The main force of the army launched a centripetal attack together to strive to take Addis Ababa as fast as possible." Yodel talked about the combat situation chart. "From the situation we have mastered, the total strength of the Australian, New Zealand coalition and British troops led by Ramsden is close to 40,000. After the pursuit and killing from Aswan, we have been killed, injured, and captured more than 20,000 people. The remaining forces are retreating to Addis Ababa one after another, but they must not be able to escape."

"The Italian leader probably has to think about what happened to the city-like approach?" Hoffman said teasingly, "I won't run far away this time. You can go on my behalf. Let him show off on other occasions. You can think of a way to remind the Italians in a tactful way that those captured Italian soldiers should not form troops anymore. I am really not optimistic about their fighting will and combat effectiveness. They should return to China and demobilize their contribution to Italy."

A few people looked at me and I looked at you. They were obviously laughing, but they really couldn't laugh.

"In addition, after the war in the Horn of Africa, a group of British and American troops successfully landed on the beach. Now, their traces have finally been found through aircraft reconnaissance. The situation shows that the other side has more than 20,000 troops and is retreating towards Kenya. During the Kenyan Battle, the Americans drew a lot of airplanes for their airdrops..."

"Airdrop supply is interesting, interesting, interesting." Hoffman smiled. "I like Eisenhower more and more. Let the Air Force bomb them, but don't have to fight in a hurry, and slowly drive them to Mombasa. I really want to see how Americans maintain supplies and supplies after the sea transportation is cut." (To be continued.)
