Zhang Chi waited in Alexandria for two days, but the German army had no movement, except for a few reconnaissance planes taking photos at the positions of the Chinese team from afar.? ?

"What are Rommel waiting for?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but wonder.

Could Rommel be able to sit and watch the Italian 133rd Armored Division be encircled and annihilated by itself and refused to save her?

This is not because Zhang Chi is impatient, but because the 133rd Division of the Italian 133rd Division, which was besieged in Alexandria, lost its patience... More and more people were going out of the city to surrender. If the German army did not attack, I was afraid that Litorio would surrender with his troops.

When Zhang Chi made this plan, he obviously did not take into account the patience of the Yijun.

"What is Rommel waiting for?" Montgomery was also thinking about this question.

What made Montgomery a little frustrated was that the Germans were always aggressive when facing the Commonwealth army, and even if they were seriously insufficient in fuel and equipment, they still attacked the British defense line. What was even more annoying was that these attacks often won. And these Germans seemed cautious when facing the defense line set up by the Chinese team, which made Montgomery feel that they were being compared by the Chinese team.

This hurt Montgomery's self-esteem a little.

"Perhaps, this is because the Commonwealth Army is composed of multinational troops and has uneven combat power!"

Montgomery could only comfort himself in this way.

But he knew in his heart that there were several troops in the Commonwealth Army that were pure British troops, and some were even the ace troops of the British army, such as the First Armored Division, but they also did not play such an important role as the Chinese team on the battlefield.

"That's because they are equipped with advanced 'Sheerman' tanks!" Montgomery made an excuse for himself: "If the First Armored Division is also equipped with 'Sheerman' tanks, Rommel will be careful!"

There are always excuses, but in fact, when a person wants to make excuses for something, it proves itself that he is guilty.

At this time, a communications soldier handed it to Montgomery with a sealed electric charge.

The correspondent has not reported the contents of the telegram because it has not been translated yet.

Montgomery immediately realized that this was "class secret" because only "class secret" was translated by special codes and special decoders.

Montgomery did not hesitate and handed the telegram to Ramsden for him to deal with it. After a while, the translated telegram was handed over to Montgomery.

Montgomery was stunned when he looked at the content of the telegram in his hand, and saw that it read: "Rommeel has obtained a batch of unknown tanks, including hundreds of No. 4 tanks and a small number of Tiger Types!"

After a while, Montgomery immediately called Zhang Chi.

"Major General!" said Montgomery: "We are in trouble. According to reliable information, Rommel has obtained hundreds of No. 4 tanks and a small number of Tigers!"

"What?" Zhang Chi asked in confusion after hearing this: "How did Rommel get these tanks? I mean it's only been a few days!"

"It's because of the Island of Malta!" Montgomery said: "Malta was bombed and blocked by the German Air Force, so the Germans could safely transport equipment from the sea. They transported these tanks to Alahman by sea!"

Although Montgomery said this, Zhang Chi knew that there must be some "class secrets" issues... In the past, the British could always know the time and place of the Germans transporting equipment from "class secrets" and intercept them, but now, they did not know until Rommel got the tank.

This illustrates a problem, that is, the Germans have raised the security level of telecommunications.

Of course, the Germans ultimately cannot escape the "class secret" because "class secret" is a mechanical brute-force cracking. After changing to a set of secret telegrams, the "class secret" can be cracked again only after a while. However, this transportation operation of the German army was only between the gaps between the two cracking.

Montgomery would not tell Zhang Chi about these things... This is a secret, only a few people know about it, and no one even knew about it for a long time after the war.

Only then did Zhang Chi know what Rommel was waiting for, and what he was waiting for was this batch of equipment.

"Major General!" said Montgomery: "There is still time now, maybe we can change our plans...such as siege of Alexandria to force it to surrender!"

"And what?" Zhang Chi asked: "Then there is no reason for the Germans to attack, right? They can wait for more tanks and more supplies to transport them to the ashore, and be well prepared to attack again, right?"

Montgomery couldn't help but speak out.

The strategic purpose of this plan is to attract the main force of the German army from its defense line and defeat it so that the British army can have the ability to launch a counterattack.

If we return to the previous defensive state, the German supply situation will improve, while the British army's supply situation will worsen because the island of Malta and its waterways are in a semi-blocked state. As one rises and the other falls, the situation of the British army is not optimistic.

"So!" Finally, Zhang Chi came to the conclusion: "We can only play one game as planned!"

"But..." Montgomery said: "This is too dangerous. You have to face the German 88 anti-aircraft guns, a large number of No. 4 tanks are more than Tiger. Also, they are likely to temporarily send a large number of air forces to coordinate their attacks, which means we will not have an advantage in the air!"

Montgomery is right, just 88 anti-aircraft guns are very troublesome, not to mention the Tiger style and air superiority.

Zhang Chi only asked back: "Do we have any other choice?"

Montgomery did not answer. After a while, he said, "Major General, I admire your courage. I will let the First Armored Division reinforce you. In addition, I will try my best to let the Air Force provide cover for you!"

"Yes, General!" Zhang Chi didn't say much.

Montgomery felt ashamed when he put down the phone.

There is actually no need for the Chinese team to do this. For example, now, Zhang Chi can completely follow the flow and change the plan according to Montgomery's intention. After all, the situation has changed beyond the plan.

But Zhang Chi did not do this. They still chose to fight, and they were trying to find out the shortcomings of the Zhongzhao team not long ago.

What Montgomery didn't know was that Zhang Chi was actually helpless in doing so.

If he could, he would not care about the lives of these British people or the Commonwealth Army.

The problem is, if the North African battlefield that was originally to win in history lost because of its own arrival... Zhang Chi didn't know what chain reaction would have happened in the future.

But for sure, this won't be a good thing.

Therefore, Zhang Chi must win this battle! 8
