Until he took down this line of defense, Xu Jiaxing was still a little unbelievable, especially after seeing the prisoners and the trenches with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns.

You should know that Xu Jiaxing only has half-track armored vehicles. The thickest front upper part of these armored vehicles is only 127mm, and the other places are only 7mm. Such a thickness is OK to block ordinary rifle bullets, but if you want to block machine guns or even mortars, it is Tian Fangye’s talk.

In other words, if the enemy relies on the trench with a regiment of troops, he can still defend himself even if he is caught off guard. Even if he cannot defend himself, he will cause great damage to himself.

But the result is...

The Expeditionary Force had no casualties, and the only loss was that a half-track truck had failed and could not be used. However, more than 2,000 prisoners were captured and a large number of equipment and ammunition were seized.

Xu Jiaxing, who got out of the car and walked into the trenches, touched his head and said to himself: "How can I fight all the stupid battles?"

Xu Jiaxing's words meant that when he was in the Northeast, he led a company's reconnaissance unit to crash into Yingkou, the Japanese army's garrison. Not only did he crash into it, but he also took down Yingkou, which had much more troops than him, which also promoted Xu Jiaxing from a company commander to a battalion commander.

When the deputy battalion commander heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Bath Commander, this foolish battle is good, because it is a victory, and I still want to have a few more foolish battles like this!"

The next thing is easy to do. All the soldiers Xu Jiaxing and others have to do is to escort the Italian prisoners to build fortifications in front of the defense line, including laying landmines in front, pulling barbed wire, and laying anti-tank guns in the defense line.

When Litorio with the main force of the armored division retreated from Alexandria, he was moved to tears when he saw the Italian army working so hard to arrange the defense line: he has always been a tank regiment, but he didn't expect that the infantry was still reliable at the critical moment!

Just as I was about to go up to express my condolences, I was surprised to hear the sound of gunfires across from me.

Litorio couldn't help but feel confused and shouted at the opposite side: "You are crazy, we are our own people!"

"General!" The sharp-eyed staff officer hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Litorio down, saying: "The line of defense may have been captured by the enemy!"

"What? Impossible!" Litorio raised his telescope and looked at the opposite side. Sure enough, he saw that the Yi army had been disarmed and the Chinese were holding the gun.

Seeing this, Litorio was so angry that he cursed and immediately ordered a breakthrough.

But the staff officer came forward to stop him and said, "General, are you confident of breaking through this line of defense in half an hour?"

"Half an hour?"

"I must remind you!" said the staff officer: "The enemy's main force will arrive here in half an hour. If we have not broken through the defense line..."

The staff officer didn't finish his words, but Litorio knew what that meant.

Once the enemy's main force arrives here, there will be no possibility that the 133rd Armored Division will be wiped out except for the entire army.

"What can we do now?" Litorio asked distressedly.

"We can only choose to retreat to Alexandria!" The consultant replied: "We can use the civilian houses in the city to set up defenses, which is not suitable for tank combat. Then we ask for reinforcements, which really doesn't work..."

Everyone knows the following words, and everyone knows this last move, that is surrender.

In fact, if he was a soldier, the Italian army would choose to surrender at this time, but Litorio was a major general. He was unwilling to have his military post and honors ended here, so he nodded helplessly and ordered: "Retreat Alexandria!"

So when Zhang Chi led the main force to the defense line, he completed the siege of Alexandria.

Everything went unexpectedly. The price of the Expeditionary Force was only for two tanks and the casualties of more than 30 soldiers. Such casualties were almost negligible.

"Congratulations, Major General!" Zhang Chi soon received a congratulatory message from Montgomery: "Well done, you surprised all of us. This fully shows that your idea is correct. Using the "Sheerman" tank can indeed exert extraordinary combat power!"

"No, general!" Zhang Chi replied: "The battle with the Italian army cannot explain anything."

"That's right!" Montgomery replied: "They are just baits, then we'll wait for the fish to bite the hook!"

"I only worry about one thing!" Zhang Chi said.

"What?"

"I'm worried that the bait will surrender, and then our overall plan will not be implemented!"

Montgomery couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "This is also the reason why I left a batch of supplies and food in Alexandria!"

The distress signal from the Italian Army's 133rd Armored Division soon arrived at Marshal Cavallo.

Marshal Cavalero walked back and forth at his desk for a long time, and hesitated for a while, and decided to ask Rommel for help.

The staff officer once asked Cavalero: "Marson, why don't we try to go to rescue ourselves first?"

"Do you know which unit the enemy surrounded Alexandria?" Cavalero asked back.

"Chinese troops!"

"Yes, it's the Chinese army that defeated the 21st German Armored Division!" Cavalero said: "And according to the intelligence, they also equipped a large number of 'Sheerman' tanks. So do you think...what unit of ours has the ability to rescue the 133rd Armored Division from them?"

The staff officer couldn't help but speak out when he heard this.

But Cavalero couldn't find Rommel at this time.

The call that Cavalero called was answered by Rommel's adviser Thomas.

"Dear Marshal!" Thomas responded: "The general went to the front line to inspect, and it may take dark to come back!"

Cavalero shouted in anger: "I don't care what method you use, inform General Rommel as soon as possible, I need to talk to him!"

"Okay, Marshal!" Thomas replied politely: "I will do it as soon as possible, but you know, General Rommel often takes flights around alone, and I'm not sure where he is!"

In fact, Rommel didn't go anywhere, he was next to Thomas.

Rommel did this because he was smart enough. He knew that Cavalero would definitely ask the German army for help, and if the German army went to rescue, they would fall into the trap set by the enemy...

"A armored division composed of 'Sheerman' tanks!" Rommel said: "The most important thing is the Chinese division. The British finally did something right!"

After pausing, Rommel said again: "Oh, no! Maybe this is not the British's idea at all! All this comes from the hands of that hateful Chinese..."

"General, what are you going to do?" Thomas asked: "We can't hide like this!"
