In France, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, Marshal Rommel, who has experienced many experiences of using few to fight more and using weak to attack the strong, knowing that soldiers are the most powerful and understand the essence of mechanized blitzkrieg. This is the biggest mystery of his reputation as a small guard battalion commander to climb to the high position of the marshal. Marshal Rommel does not have the command ability of Marshal Manstein, but in terms of the level of oppressive play with 30,000 to 50,000 troops, the National Defense Forces are not as good as that. . The fastest update is updated

In Iceland, this level was once again fully demonstrated. The German army, with its violent spirit like a tiger going down the mountain, made the British and American Allies lose their helmets and pull their armor and run away with their heads. The first echelon of the Seal Army was only the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division, plus the heavy armored battalion, the command guards and some headquarters forces. Overall, it was only 40,000, and nearly 2,000 were lost on the eve of the landing. After landing, except for some troops left behind, the attacking forces were nearly 30,000. Rommel relied on these 30,000 troops to defeat 80,000 Allies had no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

He knew that he must not relax the oppression and gave the enemy time and opportunity to deploy defense lines calmly. Once the enemy built a relatively solid defense line, it would be more difficult to bite it down, so he dispatched the newly allocated equipment Ye Zhanhu.

The use of night battle tanks in Africa and Cape Verde battlefield fully proves the great value of night vision equipment, but the troops still report that infrared radiation provided by special Sherman is still not convenient, and whether the radiation and reception can be concentrated on a tank. According to this requirement, the Ministry of Armed Forces developed the Leopard E-type tank, which was installed in front of the front armor. At the same time, some Tiger tanks with new engines were modified and infrared headlights were installed behind the turret.

Although this infrared headlight is much larger than that of the equipment of Sherman infrared irradiation vehicles, thanks to the development of photoelectric technology, the irradiation range can still reach more than 1,000 meters, and it is well used at a distance of 800 meters. This distance is basically enough, and it is more than enough to open fire or march. Therefore, a special night battle style was explored around the new equipment. Fortunately, the transport of this batch of tanks was not dried up by British and American bombers in the sea, otherwise Rommel's night battle routine would not be able to play.

As night fell, just as the British and American soldiers who were depressed thought they could take a breath, the German tanks began to attack again. At first, they thought the Germans were fired randomly and wasting ammunition, but the more they went, the more wrong they were. The German artillery fire became more and more accurate as if they had eyes. The British and American soldiers who had finally stopped stopped ran away again. Some people couldn't run anymore, and they lay down on the sky, threw their weapons, and simply surrendered and pulled them down.

It is really a waste of violence to let British and American officers and soldiers who have not experienced war in two years fight with the German army, who have experienced wars. As the first batch of 1944 units, all officers and soldiers were formed by drawing elite troops from more than 20 armored divisions in the army, and they were even more selected from the best.

Perhaps the battlefield situation is relatively good. Rommel did not immediately take his iconic armored command vehicle to suddenly move forward. Instead, he guided the young staff who had been following him with interest and taught his tactical experience: "To fight this kind of offensive battle, we must use the fastest speed to break the enemy's formation to prevent groupings. Whoever dares to fight against whom. Of course, proper interweaving is necessary, but we cannot be double-teamed alone... We have many soldiers and few enemy soldiers. I chased them to fight without trying to encircle them. When they are tired of running and dispersing, you can use a simple way to deal with them."

"Sir, what if we lead our troops to encounter such pursuit and cannot reorganize the formation?"

"Stand!" Rommel replied without hesitation, "Whether a company or a battalion, immediately rely on the terrain to defend on the spot, blocking the flood like a reef, curbing the enemy's offensive layer by layer, and waiting for an opportunity to join forces and join forces. The front-line troops use self-sacrifice to win the vitality of other friendly forces..."

Although Smith also understood the truth, he could not give such an order because his troops were all in chaos: in the attack of the German army, the British and American armies, which should have been united, suddenly split, because the commanders found that the German army was always chasing the most numerous troops to attack, and the German planes, which were indifferent to the head, always chased the large troops to attack, and many people made small plans and tried to escape from the large formation and fled separately. Four British brigades fled to the left wing, and three American divisions fled to the right wing. As they fled, the divisions turned into regiments, the regiments dispersed into battalions, and the battalions became several companies that were not subordinate to each other. Then the troops of various numbers were mixed together. The infantry found the truck and threw away the ammunition, supplies, and supplies on it just to compete for that precious place.

As for the more bulky artillery, anti-tank guns, broken armored vehicles, and gas-free tanks were spilled all over the ground, completely ignored the German army and chased them all the way in the direction of these equipment...

"Bastard, bastard... I'm going to kill these bastards..." Under the night sky, the German army spared no effort to pursue the enemy. At the same time, the underground bunker on the Downing Street had become the center of various storms. When he learned that Nimitz had turned around with the Atlantic Fleet halfway, Marshal Ponder was so angry that he trembled all over and went crazy on the scene.

The other military leaders were also furious, and the tables were slammed. No matter what the Americans had, they could not change such a reality. They first agreed to send a fleet to aid and asked the British to send planes to support Iceland. When the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy spent a lot of hard work to endure the death and injuries to rescue Iceland, the Americans flicked and said that the fleet would not come. Before receiving the emergency message from Marshal Deer, Porter and Pound were discussing where to get some planes to aid Iceland tomorrow. Unexpectedly, they would wait for such a shocking news.

This made everyone feel indignant and furious!

"This is a shameless, despicable, disgusting betrayal. The British Empire was abandoned. The British Empire in the brave battle was ruthlessly abandoned by its allies... Support Brazil? Joke, who doesn't know that it was a restraining offensive by the Germans! This is a naked excuse." Aiden was furious, "First it was Wallace, then Truman, and these were all a group of vulgar embryos!"

“What should I do now?”

"Prime Minister, what are you going to do?" Attley asked with a gloomy face, "Are you still going to fight and drag more than 40 million British Empire subjects to bury them together?"

"I..." Churchill Ai Ai couldn't speak, "I plan to telegraph Roosevelt to let him stop this behavior, we..."

"It's useless!" Brooke sternly, "Martyr Deere has tried to ask for President Roosevelt, but has been ruthlessly rejected, and the Joint Conference has clearly told us that it was Truman's order!"

"Now we can only let the Icelandic defenders insist on resisting..."

"Resist? What to resist?" Brooke sneered, "They have no air force, no navy, and the Americans will not fight at all. When the Germans come, they run around the mountains and fields like a group of ducks. Not to mention that compared with our regular troops, even our local army is stronger than them!"

The so-called local army refers to the troops similar to militia recruited by Britain in order to deal with the war. It is equivalent to the American National Guard Division. It has a very famous name, such as the county division, the Queen Guard Division, and the Volunteer Army. In fact, it is all composed of uncles over 45 years old, and its equipment is ridiculously simple. Among the 3 million local army, there are more than 1 million such troops. Brooke now puts a gold on his face, defaming the Americans to nothing. In fact, the British troops in Iceland are also performing well. They have to say that they are more capable, because they have rich experience in escaping and have experienced the Dunkirk encirclement. They can run fast without being messy and scattered...

"The latest news I received is sure that Erwin Rommel himself is commanding on the island! He also spoke through the radio today, and we verified it and it was indeed the case."

"Elwin Rommel" is the name that everyone here least wants to hear. Originally, everyone was a little suspicious about Rommel's debut in South America, but now after comparison, they all understand.

"We were cheated." Attley sighed, "Iceland cannot be saved anymore, and we must seek a way out immediately."

"Will go? Okay, let me tell you, what other way out are you besides surrender?" Churchill was so angry that he was getting angry now. "Who can think of a way? I will immediately resign and step down and give him the position of prime minister."

Everyone looked at each other: The way not to surrender? They were willing to think about it and the Germans were willing to follow it... When the German army took Iceland, the next step should be to land in Britain. Even if they didn't come to the local area, they could not stop landing in Ireland.

"Prime Minister, now we must make up our minds. It's not that we refuse to persevere, but that it's meaningless for us to persevere." Aiden advised, "Although the conditions of the Germans are harsh, they still leave us a place. If the Germans land on the land and enter London, the situation will be completely overwhelmed. At that time, millions of creatures will be ruined. Even if the Germans are worried about casualties and do not come to land, with the blockade of Iceland and Ireland, we can only die step by step."

Aiden saw it very clearly: the current situation is not to surrender, but to surrender is to seek death, but to seek death at least there is no need to experience so much torture than to wait for death.

In fact, the cabinet had some expectations for the Iceland blocking war. The Germans had only two intact fleet aircraft carriers. Nimitz had a fleet in his hands. The two sides fought again and destroyed several (fleet aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers). The Germans could not do anything with one aircraft carrier. In a few months, the two armored aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy will be put into service again. There will be a chance to counterattack at that time, but unfortunately they are all over now.

"We need a decent end to the war. If you agree, I will let the Duke of Hamilton and Hess talk." Attlee said, "The action cannot be delayed. I have a hunch that the Germans will raise the asking price after taking Iceland."
