Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

"Before this, Field Marshal Rommel wrote me a letter privately. He told me that after the enemy defeated the Italian army, they would definitely raid Cairo. At this time, reinforcements would not arrive for a while, so we must pay attention to the royal family in the city."

Colonel Hader explained patiently, his eyes showing admiration for the marshal's foresight, "The marshal knows the nature of the royal family very well. They are fence-sitters. They will follow the side that is stronger and can give them more benefits without hesitation. They have no loyalty at all."

Colonel Hader frowned slightly and continued, "So based on the Marshal's reminder, after receiving the letter, I sent people to secretly keep a close eye on the royal army's every move. As expected, now that they see the enemy approaching the city, they think that our German army may not be able to hold on, and they immediately rebelled. This is completely expected."

He paused, and glanced at his subordinates around him. Seeing that they were still confused, he continued, "If we rush to send troops to suppress it now, the noise will be so loud that those forces in the city who are still watching and wavering may be scared and shrink back and continue to lie dormant. But we have no idea where they are hiding or how many people there are. In this way, we can't be sure when they will trip us up in the future, and we will be hard to guard against."

"But if we don't take any action and pretend we don't know, those guys with bad intentions will see that the royal family has rebelled and the German army has not reacted. They will think that they have an opportunity and think that we are really in trouble. Then they will jump out and rebel. In this way, they will all be exposed under our noses. Then we can gather our forces and get rid of them all at once. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble later? It can also completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the city, allowing us to focus more on dealing with the enemies outside the city."

After Colonel Hader finished speaking, he crossed his arms over his chest with a confident look on his face, as if he had already seen the scene of those rebels being wiped out, and he was just waiting for his subordinates to understand his painstaking efforts and strategy.

"Before this, Field Marshal Rommel wrote me a letter privately. He told me that after the enemy defeated the Italian army, they would definitely raid Cairo. At this time, reinforcements would not arrive for a while, so we must pay attention to the royal family in the city." Colonel Hader recalled the contents of the letter while patiently explaining, his words full of admiration for the marshal's foresight.

He knew very well that the marshal had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and had a unique and accurate vision for judging the situation. The reminder in the letter was undoubtedly a beacon in this complicated situation.

"They are fence-sitters. They will follow whichever side is stronger." Colonel Hader continued, with a look of disdain on his face and a strong contempt in his tone.

The royal family usually relies on their status to waver between the German army and other forces. They will immediately side with whichever side offers more benefits or seems to have the upper hand. They have no principles or bottom line at all and are simply a bunch of guys who change with the wind.

"So after receiving the letter, I sent people to keep an eye on the other party. Now it seems that everything is as the marshal expected. The royal family has indeed rebelled again." Colonel Hader sighed helplessly, with a tone of "as expected" feeling.

He had long anticipated that the royal family was unreliable, so he made arrangements in advance and sent people to keep an eye on their movements. He hoped that they would behave themselves for once, but unexpectedly, they finally failed to resist the "temptation" and chose to rebel at this critical moment. This undoubtedly added huge trouble to the German army's already difficult battle to defend the city.

After saying this, Colonel Hader couldn't help but shook his head, frowning tightly. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with this royal family that could not be satisfied.

The German army has been stationed here with great effort to protect this city and the stability of this area, but the royal family not only does not help, but also stabs them in the back, only thinking about their own selfish interests and completely ignoring the overall situation. This behavior is really infuriating, but there is no point in getting angry now, and we can only find ways to deal with this bad situation.

"Marshal is wise." All the subordinates nodded and sighed sincerely. Their eyes looking into the distance were full of admiration for Marshal Rommel. They really didn't expect that the marshal, who was thousands of miles away, could predict the future so well, as if he had the ability to predict the future. This was really amazing.

Regarding this point, it really shows a high level of ability.

The marshal was in the rear, but he was able to accurately judge the enemy's movements with his deep insight into the situation and rich combat experience. He was also able to anticipate the little thoughts of the royal family in the city and send reminders to Colonel Hadel in advance. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, the most important thing is that Marshal Rommel understands these natives.

For these people, they are truly loyal to whoever feeds them, and have no loyalty or stance at all.

As long as one party demonstrates relatively strong strength and can bring them more benefits and so-called "protection", they will turn to the other party without hesitation, regardless of who they have cooperated or agreed with before. They are like fence-sitters that sway with the wind, wavering and unpredictable.

When facing such allies, what you naturally need to do is to be more careful and be on guard at all times to prevent them from betraying you from behind.

After all, cooperating with such forces is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. If you are not careful, you may fall into the trap they set.

The main reason was that Marshal Rommel was traumatized by the Italian army.

He had suffered a lot from the Italian army before. Sometimes the Italian army fought poorly, failed to deliver at critical moments, and even did things that disrupted their own formation and hindered their progress. All these performances made the marshal deeply aware of the unreliability of these "allies". So now when facing similar situations, he has become so sensitive and will consider everything more to avoid falling into a passive situation again.

But the facts proved that it was true. If Marshal Rommel had not warned them in advance, the German troops in the city would have suffered a great loss.

If the German army was caught off guard by the royal family's rebellion, the enemy would be able to work together from both inside and outside to easily break through the German defense line, and the city of Cairo would then be unable to be defended. Fortunately, the marshal had foresight and allowed the German army to prepare in advance. Although the situation is still serious, at least they are not caught off guard. Everyone is glad to have such a wise marshal commanding them.

On the other side, Bu La was standing outside the makeshift command post, staring at Cairo not far away, hoping that the changes he expected would happen in the city soon, so that his troops could seize the opportunity and take the city in one fell swoop. But in the end, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. The city still stood there quietly, like an impregnable fortress, with no sign of being breached. Instead, he heard gunshots all night long. The gunshots were particularly harsh in the silent night, coming intermittently, as if telling of the fierce battle in the city, but there was no good news that the German defense line had been breached.

"There is no sign of a breach in the discussed position?" Bu La frowned, turned to look at the officer who came to report the situation, and asked. There was a hint of urgency in his voice. After all, this was related to whether the entire combat plan could be carried out smoothly.

"Yes. On the contrary, the German army on the opposite side has strengthened its defense. In order to prevent an ambush, I did not order an attack." The officer who came to report straightened up quickly and explained with a serious face. He knew very well that in such a situation where the enemy situation was unclear, it would be a taboo in military strategy to launch a rash attack. If one was not careful, the troops might fall into the enemy's encirclement and suffer heavy losses. That was why he cautiously chose to keep his troops in place and wait for further instructions.

Hearing this, Bu La nodded with a look of approval on his face, and was very satisfied with the officer's judgment. He knew that on the battlefield, calmness and caution were extremely important qualities. When the enemy's situation was unclear, they naturally could not attack recklessly. If they were ambushed, it would not only be a simple matter of losing some troops, but it would also likely lead to the failure of the entire combat plan. At that time, it would be even more difficult to capture Cairo.

In fact, Bu La did not have much hope for this operation. The reason was that he did not trust these natives. Although there were many of these native soldiers, their fighting skills and loyalty were not good enough. Sometimes they would retreat when they encountered danger, and their minds were hard to predict. It was hard to predict when something would go wrong. So from the beginning, Bu La did not think that this operation could achieve its goal smoothly. He just wanted to give it a try. If there was any gain, it would be the best. If not, he would make other plans.

Bu La knew exactly how much fighting power the natives had. These native soldiers were not well trained and had poor discipline. Although they looked numerous and powerful in battle, they often collapsed at the critical moment and could not be expected to exert much fighting power.

On the other hand, the German army was very powerful. They could suppress their opponents with the firepower of their squad machine guns. As soon as the machine guns opened fire, a dense fire network was spread out, making it difficult for the attacking party to find a chance to break through. They could only be suppressed in place and passively beaten.

If Bu La did not have a lot of artillery in his hands, he could rely on the power of artillery to create some deterrence to the German army and suppress their firepower on the battlefield. I'm afraid he would suffer a heavy loss in this combat operation.

Besides, at least the losses he suffered at the hands of the Italian army were not as great as those suffered at the hands of the German army. The tenacity and tactical qualities of the German army in combat did leave a deep impression on him, and made him even more afraid to underestimate the enemy.

It was precisely because of this that he did not believe from the bottom of his heart that these natives could open a gap. He felt that it was simply a fantasy for them to break through the German defense line, so his expectations for this operation were not high at the beginning.

"Judging from the gunshots, there should be an exchange of fire between the German army and the royal army. I'm afraid there is not much hope." The officer hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his opinion.

He pricked up his ears to listen to the incessant gunfire, thinking that the rebellion of the royal army was a good opportunity, but now the German army seemed to be handling it very well, and the two sides had exchanged fire, and the royal army had not been able to gain any advantage. It seemed that there was no hope of relying on them to open a gap and allow the royal army to enter the city smoothly.

"Well, you are right. There is really no hope." Bu La seemed very calm. After listening to the officer's words, he just nodded slightly. There was not much disappointment on his face, as if all this was within his expectations.

"It doesn't matter. This is a good chance to consume some of the German army's ammunition. I believe that after this time, the German army will not have much ammunition left. We should be able to take Cairo in two or three days at most." Bu La crossed his arms across his chest, looking in the direction of Cairo. There was a hint of certainty in his tone, as if he had already seen the scene of the German army falling into despair because of the exhaustion of ammunition.

The last time when negotiating with the royal envoy, Bu La specifically asked one more question, which was how much ammunition the German army had in the city.

After all, part of the German army's logistical supplies were provided by the natives, so naturally they also had a certain understanding of the German army's weapons and ammunition.

After that conversation, Bu La immediately had an idea of ​​the level of the German army's ammunition reserves.

Therefore, if the plan to use the natives to open a gap fails this time, it doesn't matter. Just take this as an opportunity to consume the German army's ammunition. He doesn't believe that the German army can still be so fierce when it runs out of ammunition. At that time, it will be easy to launch an attack and capture the city of Cairo. He has already thought out the follow-up plan in his mind and is waiting for the right time to act.

"Let the artillery prepare and continue to intensify the attack on the city." Then, Bu La's eyes flashed and he decisively gave the order to fire.

He knew very well that since relying on the natives to open a gap was no longer feasible, he had to find another way to put pressure on the German army, and artillery fire coverage was undoubtedly a good choice.

Anyway, what he had a lot of were shells in his hands, and those piles of shells were like his confidence at the moment.

Since Cun Yunsheng didn't make any special requirements on the use of artillery shells, he naturally didn't have to be restrained. He could just work hard without worrying about the consumption of artillery shells.

After all, he didn't buy these ammunition with his own money. They were all provided by the US military. With such a "rich man" backing him up, he naturally didn't need to be polite.

He thought that it didn't matter if the shells were used up. As long as he told the American side, they would naturally send more shells to him. So now he could bombard the Germans in the city with artillery fire to shatter their defenses and disrupt their deployment. Maybe he could create an opportunity for his troops to successfully enter the city and capture Cairo. (End of this chapter)
