The first batch of landing troops had two regiments. .

As soon as they got ashore, they carried out two aspects of work. One regiment quickly advanced along the main street, and the other regiment followed behind to eliminate the remaining enemies.

The battle went smoothly, and in less than an hour the Zoafu Corps occupied the entire Sai Dagang.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that Chinese consultants played an important role in this...

Because compared with those legal officials who have almost never fought wars, Chinese consultants are veterans with rich combat experience, so when encountering certain emergencies, legal officials are often at a loss or blindly commanding to let Algerian soldiers charge.

Chinese consultants are different. When they encounter fire points that are difficult to unplug, they skillfully call for artillery fire support, provide coordinates for artillery soldiers, and sometimes they even act as snipers and one shot to suppress the enemy's firepower points... This is nothing in the Chinese army, because after several years of war, the Expeditionary Force soldiers were all good players. If they had not had such a two-handed approach, I am afraid that the Expeditionary Force would not survive today.

But these Algerian soldiers were shocked, especially their usual training was mostly digging trenches to build fortifications.

So naturally, Algerian soldiers formed a consensus on the battlefield: French people are idiots, and it is right to listen to the Chinese.

This kind of thought is easy to form on a battlefield where life or death is neither born nor died, and it is still very firm once it is formed.

So before we knew it, the status of Chinese consultants in the Zoafu Corps rose sharply, and later they even reached the point where they had no confidence and knew how to fight without Chinese consultants.

After the occupation, the two regiments immediately built fortifications in the city, and the other regiment followed and landed and unloaded heavy equipment such as artillery, tanks, etc.

This is considered that the German army is likely to use armored troops to counterattack, and heavy equipment is essential for anti-tanks.

"Very good!" General Zhu An looked at the time. It was only two hours in total, which was almost half the time originally planned.

"Why didn't the Germans counterattack?" Darlang was a little surprised.

Because as expected, the German army should have dispatched reinforcements about half an hour after the attack started. This is an inference from the distance between the Mares defense line and the Sina Harbor and the response speed of the German mechanized troops... The Germans have always acted quickly.

But none of this happened.

"What are the Germans doing?" General Zhu An was also puzzled: "Don't they know that the Sydang Port is their only port?"

Of course the Germans knew, Anim, Rommel, and Hitler knew.

But at this time, the German army had a rare phenomenon of playing past the ball for such a big thing.

Anim said: "The Grand Port is closer to Rommel's troops and should be reinforced by Rommel!"

Rommel responded: "The Dagang is Anime's defense zone, and my troops are attacking the British. The 10th Armored Regiment has been transferred. I have no extra troops anymore!"

Objectively speaking, although Rommel's words make sense, they are an excuse after all. As soon as the Dagang was attacked, Rommel's counterattack became an impossible plan to succeed, so he should have all his strength to support Dagang as soon as possible.

But Rommel was unwilling to give up at this time. He was unwilling to accept that his plan failed because of Anime's uncooperation. In particular, he transferred the entire armored division without passing Rommel... Rommel could not swallow this tone, so he intended to use this matter to prevent Anime from stepping down.

In fact, what is more important is that Rommel knows that there is no hope for this battle.

What if you send a lot of troops to the Sie Dagang?

Armored division? Tanks?

These can fight against enemy battleships?

The giant artillery of the battleship can smash the German tanks and armored forces at any time. For the fleet, this is just a matter of how many shells it costs, and the Allies do not need to worry about shells.

From this perspective, it is unnecessary for the French army to land on the Grand Port, because the French army only needs to use the Toulon fleet to surround the Grand Port... The supplies of the German and Italian troops were completely cut off.

However, landing can speed up the destruction of the German and Italian troops, because after the Zoafu Corps landed, they seized a large amount of ammunition and materials that were not too late to transport to the front line in the warehouse of Sai Dagang.

At this time, Rommel had only indescribable depression and indignation.

Because before that, he made suggestions to the commander, which is another plan to fight a protracted war in Tunisia.

In this suggestion, Rommel believed that it was very difficult for the German army to defend the Mares line of defense, with a total of 650 kilometers of east and west lines, which may be sufficient for the Germans, with a total number of about 200,000 people, but there is no such supply to support such a long line of defense.

Rommel's plan is to continue to shrink the front line and shrink to the Great City of Games, that is, to build a defense line of only 150 kilometers around the Great Port of Games, which can increase the consumption and increase of supplies to the same level, so there is a possibility of persistence for a long time.

But this suggestion was rejected by the commander.

It took Rommel a while to send Hitler a telegram, with only a few words on it: "Africa is over, for the German and Italian troops, Africa has become hell!"

Hitler replied angrily: "This is very different from what you said to me before! If you want to admit failure, this is absolutely not possible. This negative thought cannot appear on my general!"

A table was also attached after the telegram, which listed the number of troops and equipment organized by both the enemy and us, and made some estimates of combat effectiveness... This is a technique that Hitler often used when refuting the front-line commanders. He did not consider the actual situation on the battlefield at all, and simply believed that as long as one German soldier could destroy two enemies, the war could be won.

Indeed, just like Tunisia at this time, about 200,000 Germans and Italian troops were surrounded by 400,000 Allies. If a German soldier could destroy two enemies, he could fight to the death. He even had to fight half of the Allies and would undoubtedly collapse due to will problems.

But this is just a false comparison while Hitler's wishful thinking. It does not consider the situation and strength of both the enemy and us at all.

Rommel was too lazy to respond to the telegram, and he only glanced at it and threw it aside.
Chapter completed!
