Imperial Overlord

"Review! It must be carefully reviewed!" Standing in front of a group of Air Force pilots, the North African Air Force commander scolded in a low voice with a very bad expression.

In the battle for the forced crossing of the Suez Canal, the performance of the Air Force bomber units was very unsatisfactory. They were inexperienced in covering operations, which directly led to the emergence of various problems.

For example, at the beginning of the attack, they dropped the bomb they carried on the enemy's position. Although they helped the army to open up the situation, there was no so-called follow-up.

In the ensuing Battle of the Eastern Road, when the SS soldiers fought the British in **** battles, most of the air force was returning and preparing for the next flight, and there were not many troops to provide the necessary support.

In this way, although Rommel's Afrika Korps crossed the annoying Suez Canal, the SS 46th Infantry Division lost so many troops that subsequent attacks were forced to cancel.

Montgomery and Auchinleck took the remnants of the British army and withdrew from their defense area, leaving a large area of ​​the desert to the German-Italian coalition.

"Sir! Under high-intensity operations, it is very difficult to use the air force as an infantry cover!" A bomber pilot explained helplessly.

In fact, German support for the Afrika Korps has always been inadequate. Even though Rommel has won a series of stunning victories in North Africa, he doesn't have much money in his hands.

Recently added to North Africa are anti-aircraft artillery units and light infantry. These troops are mainly used to defend oil fields and defend oil field airspace.

And Rommel has always been in an offensive situation, and the enemy is not strong, so the highest command is the verbal support, rather than the actual materials.

The Führer gave Rommel the rank of general of the Panzer Corps, and privately gave Rommel the promise of a marshal.

However, when it was Rommel's turn for material requirements, the Supreme Command turned into an inexhaustible iron rooster. In the end, only limited ammunition was granted to Rommel, and there were also some air forces that could be transferred at any time.

Even so, Rommel's actual strength is very limited. He only has about 200 Stuka bombers in his hand, and this also includes the anti-sea attack aircraft force deployed near Sirte.

As a result, when it was the turn of the real Suez Canal front, Rommel would be able to dispatch up to 100 aircraft for air support.

This number is probably at its peak, the number of aircraft lost by the Luftwaffe in a single day over the UK in the British Air War...

"I know all of this, but the above requires a report on this operation, and details of every step and every plan... What can I do?" the Air Force commander complained gloomily.

Who knows why, the higher-level department, which has always paid less attention to the performance of the front-line battlefield, suddenly went crazy and asked for every detail of this battle.

Even the interval of ground support, why there is a gap, the work intensity of the ground crew, and the maintenance of the aircraft should be reported as accurately as possible.

Perhaps Rommel made a small report to the Führer because of the heavy losses of the SS. Most of the Air Force commanders on the front lines are now guessing this.

In fact, this is definitely wronging Rommel. General Rommel, who has just fought the Suez Canal, has no time to give the Air Force a small report to the Supreme Command. He is promoting his Suez victory and preparing to fulfill his dream of being a marshal.

With such a weak air force, Rommel captured the Suez Canal, which in itself is a miracle.

So when the results of the battle came back to the Supreme Command, although everyone was upset, no one blamed Rommel for attacking without authorization.

In this victorious atmosphere, who would be bored with snitching? In fact, it is the Supreme Command and the head of state who want this report.

Because of the lack of experience in covering the sea crossing and landing operations, the high-level executives who have no way can only learn and sell now, and use Rommel's covering experience in crossing the river as a reference.

Recently, the Supreme Command has become a mess, and even the Yuan capital personally went into battle and participated in various landing games in the UK.

The results, without exception, ended with the fiasco of the German army against the landing tactics of the Fuhrer. It was too perverted, so that the German generals really couldn't figure out which side the Fuhrer was on.

Today, a landing game was launched again. Everyone blindly pushed their troops on the coastline drawings of the two houses.

"The first batch of landing troops successfully landed... We are organizing soldiers to advance to the second line." An officer raised his chin and reported the battle order issued by General Dietrich to the referee room.

"The first layer of the defense line was announced to be broken... The number of casualties of the attackers has been reduced to seven percent. What do you think of this result?" Brauchitch looked at Marshal Keitel beside him and asked heavily.

Because the response plan was correct, the enemy was also weakened by the air force. This may be the best landing performance in several games.

Liszt, who was on the side, nodded and admitted Brauchitch's judgment: "My judgment is about 5%, and the 7% you gave is quite objective."

Hearing Liszt's approval, Keitel nodded as well. The last time Brauchitch gave a landing loss of 11%, half of Dietrich's troops were crippled on the beach.

Apparently the result was not bad today, at least Dietrich's Adolf Hitler Guards Panzer Division can successfully unfold on the beach.

"The latest tank landing method is very effective, and we judge that this can reduce the casualties of some troops..." Brauchitch gave his answer.

A few days ago, using the new tank floating device, the German army successfully sent 10 tanks to the beach in one go. With this latest experimental result, Brauchitch has a little bit of confidence in the first wave of landing attacks.

"The Führer gave a counterattack... The other side put in tank troops in the second-line position and counterattacked our army's position." Dietrich's attack is still being discussed here, and the defending force led by the Führer over there will give Come up with your own countermeasures.

"So fast? The first wave of bombing... It seems that the middle area is not covered." After glancing at the location marked on the map, Liszt frowned and said depressedly.

On the other side, the officer serving as the turn-based referee was timing: "Mark the British armored units that have appeared on the defense line on General Dietrich's map!"

A female officer in a boat cap who was waiting beside him quickly walked out of the referee room and notified Dietrich, who was waiting for a penalty in another command room, of the latest changes.

"Let the second batch of bombers on standby join the attack...covering IV, IIV and...VI three areas!" Dietrich saw the British tank troops appearing on the map, and continued to issue combat orders with confidence.

He holds several batches of bomber troops in his hand. As long as he can stop the enemy's counterattack, he may meet the Fuhrer's request and advance the position to a place 20 kilometers away before dark.

As long as this place is hit, it means the expansion of the effective occupation area. For the German army landing in the British mainland, it also means that the area of ​​the occupation area can be used to dilute the deadly artillery attack of the British Navy at night.

"The way the head of state deals with the British Navy is actually not complicated. He just wants to effectively use the first day to expand the landing site." Liszt looked at the map and analyzed it.

Keitel nodded, and Dietrich's response method just came was quite satisfactory, throwing in new bombers, thwarting the enemy's counterattack, and using the limited time to continue to expand the landing field. This is the combat mission the German army is desperately trying to accomplish.

"What happened to the besieged paratroopers?" At this time, Goering, who was worried about his coffin, spoke up.

Originally, he had been disdainful to participate in this kind of meeting. But in the last few games, the head of state ordered him to be the referee, and he couldn't escape it.

This imperial marshal has always been in the wrong way with several nobles of the army, and now it is a last resort to sit together. Goering spoke suddenly, startling Keitel, who was not expecting this, by his side.

"Their ammunition is still enough... The ammunition supply dropped to them is half determined, and they can last at least until nightfall." Keitel pointed to several important nodes on the map and explained to Goering.

"Why don't you mobilize the Air Force to support my people?" Goering, who didn't know much about army operations or landing operations, did not exercise his authority as a referee at this time, but asked Kesselring curiously~www.wuxiaspot .com~ Kesselring could only explain the priority issue to the imperial marshal, then pointed to the German troops on the beach and said, "If they can't meet our paratroopers at night, then the whole battle will be over. To be sentenced to failure."

"Like the previous few times, the entire army was wiped out?" Goering glanced at Marshal Kesselring suspiciously, and asked in a questioning tone.

"Yes, Imperial Marshal!" Keitel picked up the conversation and replied, "Not only your paratroopers, but the 20,000 soldiers on the beachhead have all become prisoners of the British."

In the end, the "smart" Goering came up with a way to get the best of both worlds: "Then put in another 200 aircraft outside the plan, no... put in 300 aircraft to support my paratroopers alone!"

Kesselring almost covered his face with his hand, and explained: "Commander, all the field airfields on the front line have been designated as operational airfields... We have used the maximum support force, and now everything is only Can wait for a result."

Goering looked at Kesselring, and in the end didn't say anything, but looked at the map, as if looking at the war that had not yet erupted thousands of miles away.
