"We may be able to take advantage of the Tunisians!" General Giro suggested: "They are already our allies, aren't we? We can let them attack the German defense with us!"

Darlang couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "The Tunisians are just guerrillas, with insufficient equipment and very few people, but do you hope they can attack the Germans' defense with us? The Tunisians will definitely think that we were using the Germans to get rid of them!"

"Maybe our second attack will be different!" said Delabird. "After all, we have the experience of the first failure. We have now improved the connection and coordination between the infantry and the open space. At the same time... the morale of Algerian soldiers is also different, right?"

"It's true!" General Zhu An opposed: "But we don't have many tanks anymore, and it's difficult to destroy the Mares line with cannons and planes alone! In addition, the morale of Algerian soldiers is not good. If we attack rashly, we may suffer another heavy loss, and then morale will be hit again, and it will be difficult to recover at that time!"

"Generals!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but say, "Do you remember how the Germans captured the 'Magino Line'?"

After Zhang Chi said this, the conference room was silent.

This is the pain in the hearts of all French generals, so they usually don’t say it.

After a long time, General Zhu An replied: "Major General, are you talking about bypassing the Mares line of defense?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied.

"But..." General Zhu An shook his head and said, "I have also considered to bypass it, but the only way to bypass the Mares line is to pass through Mount Maitma. This is not an easy task, because we cannot transport supplies to it at all, and it is difficult to survive once it is discovered by the enemy!"

The Zoafu Corps does have such problems. They are incomparable to the German army in terms of combat experience and training, and they are not even as good as the Italian army... The Italian army has been with the German army on the North African battlefield for several years, and has never eaten pork or seen pigs walking. In addition, if the Zoafu Corps sends troops to intersperse, the troops are not prevailing, so it is easy to be discovered and annihilated by the German and Italian army.

"No, I'm not talking about Matma Taishan!" said Zhang Chi.

"I have no place to bypass except it!" General Juan replied: "We built the Mares line of defense, I understand it..."

"You must have not built a defense line at sea!" Zhang Chi interrupted General Zhu An's words.

General Zhu An couldn't help but open his mouth and was stunned. After a while, he nodded and replied: "Yes, of course, there is no at sea!"

"Why don't we attack from the sea?" Zhang Chi said: "Generals, we have air supremacy, and we also have the Toulon fleet, and there are also a large number of transport ships... If we attack from the sea, we don't have to worry about the Mares line of defense. All you have to do is to capture a port..."

As he said that, Zhang Chi pointed to a location on the map and said, "When you compete with Dagang, occupy this port, you can completely cut off the transportation line from Italy to North Africa, and on the other hand, you can also counterattack and defend. I think such a battle is exactly what you are good at, right?"

The generals in the conference room nodded one after another.

Zhang Chi is right. Although the Allies have almost mastered the air supremacy of the Mediterranean, it may not be necessary to completely cut off the supply line from Italy to Tunisia or Libya. The German and Italian troops are still secretly transporting supplies in the dark, and there are also airdrops of German and Italian transport aircraft.

However, if we can occupy the most important port in Tunisia, then even if German and Italian transport ships transported at night, they will have no port to dock and unload.

As for "counterattack to defend"... the French army has always been not good at attacking. To be precise, since World War I, the French army's tactical thinking has always been defense, defense and defense, which has led to the soldiers' daily training building fortifications and other things, just like they built the "Magino Line of Defense".

Therefore, after winning the Dagang, although it is predicted that it will definitely be counterattacked by the German and Italian troops, fighting a defensive battle is definitely much better than attacking the Mares defense line.

"That's right!" Dallang nodded immediately and said, "This is a good idea. Our air force has been bombing the large port of the competition. I mean, if we strengthen the bombing of the large port of the competition, the Germans might think that it was just a further blockade of their supply lines, and would not think that we were attacking the port!"

"As for defense..." General Zhu An added: "We can use naval guns. When we win the Dagang of the race, the warships can always be parked near the sea. They will blow out all enemies who dare to come up, and there are also fighter jets... The bombers and fighters of Malta Island can implement powerful fire reinforcements to us!"

"It's right!" said Derabird. "The most important thing is that this is the retreat for the Germans and Italians. We occupied this place and they didn't even have a port to escape back to Italy!"

"Perfect plan!" General Giro said: "They will have to swim and return home!"

A burst of laughter broke out in the conference room.

"General!" At this time, a staff officer pushed open the door of the conference room, holding a telegram in his hand, and said: "We just got the news that Rommel's African regiment has retreated to Tunisia!"

"What?" The news almost hit everyone in the conference room.

Before this, the plan to attack Dagang from the sea was completely feasible, because the French army to Germany and the Italian army had a strength ratio of 200,000 to 100,000, and most of the Italian army were deployed on the Mares defense line, and the internal strength was very empty.

The French army could easily use 100,000 troops to restrain the German and Italian troops in front of Mares, and then use another 100,000 people to launch a surprise attack on the Sai Dagang.

There is no doubt that there is great hope for success if you fight like this. After all, the French army has the Toulon fleet and the Allied air support.

But if Rommel's African Legion retreated all the way to Tunisia, the situation would be completely different... The African Legion has more than 70,000 people, and most of them are elite soldiers and generals who have been on the battlefield for many years, especially the German army.

As soon as they retreated to Tunisia, the interior of Tunisia was no longer empty. It can even be said that there were German troops everywhere. Can the French army successfully raid the Dagang?
