On June 20, 1943, the 8th British Army began a major retreat. More than 100,000 British troops used various means of transportation to retreat to Egypt. The British pulled all the ships they could collect on the sea outside the Port of Benghazi. From battleships, cruisers, door panels, bathtubs, and everything that could be loaded with people was pulled over.

A large number of armored troops that could not be transported on board also began to retreat by land. Before leaving, the British took away everything they could take away and destroyed everything they could not take away. Montgmarley issued a death order and implemented a five-light policy when retreating. The main content was to blow up, burn it, grab it, transport it, throw it away, and even public toilets and toilets had to go or destroy it. In order to allow the Germans to urinate and defecate anywhere after entering the city, so that the Germans had a bad reputation of not paying attention to public health.

The British soldiers strictly implemented the orders. Before leaving, they pulled everything away. Even the baby's pacifiers and diapers were not spared. They also used tons of zha medicine to blow up everything. The explosion lasted for a whole day and made outstanding contributions to the prevention and control of flys and insects in Benghazi. They did not have large-scale pests and diseases in Benghazi for 20 consecutive years. After the war, Benghazi became one of the few advanced cities in Africa to eliminate the four pests, and later generations set up monuments to commemorate the British's glorious explosion.

In the evening, the last batch of British armored troops left Benghazi and began to flee wildly. A few hours later, the Germans entered the devastated Benghazi City. Looking at the looted city, the Germans had no choice but to camp on the streets.

The German army showed no sign of pursuing the fleeing British. In fact, the Germans were powerless to pursue, because the fuel was extremely lacking, almost to the point of exhaustion. Before the Battle of Benghazi, the Germans held one tank after another to confuse the British and consumed all the fuel that was already lacking. Obestan had to order the stop to advance, and the troops waiting for the supply transported the mountains of gasoline in Tunisia to the front line. As a result, the British escaped.

Two days later, British armored troops passed by Balbia Avenue next to Maikili, retreated to the city of Birhakham on the Egyptian border, and prepared to retreat into Egypt. When the British passed by Maikili, the great General Gerthun had no intention of blocking them. Because Jintian had really lacked troops, a total of only 20,000 people were deployed from Maikili to Delna. Moreover, Maikili had nearly 50,000 prisoners to guard. He could only watch the British retreat from under his nose.

At this point, the main force of the entire Eighth Army retreated into Egypt. Only the Tobrug Fortress was still alone on the way for the Germans to enter Egypt. Montgmarley issued a death order, requiring the Tobrug Fortress defenders to guard this throat fortress leading to Egypt, block the Germans from Egypt, and wait for the arrival of the Eastern Front War to force the Germans to retreat.

On June 26, 1943, the main force of the German army began to attack the Tobrug Fortress. He was preparing to remove the thorn in the eye, the thorn in the flesh, the cone in the bone, and the moss in the skin, and open the door to Egypt. Because as long as the Tobrug Fortress is captured, the German army will enter Egypt to fight. Moreover, on the Egyptian border, the British army has no danger to defend this way, and the British can only stop the German army from advancing in Alamein. In fact, Montgmarley's real purpose was not to block the Germans at the Tobrug Fortress. He wanted to use the solid defense of the Tobrug Fortress to consume the German elite and open the way for his future battles.

The Tobrug Fortress is the most important throat of North Africa, and it is only an important port fortress. If you occupy it, you can receive supply from a large number of transport ships, greatly reducing the logistics pressure. Rommel was stubbornly blocked by the British army outside the Tobrug Fortress and was unable to immediately attack Egypt. Our great General Gersyun also faced the same difficulties.

In order to achieve the strategic goal of capturing the Tobrug Fortress, Kinda gathered all the armored forces and re-activated Italian troops to assist in the war. Although the Italian troops were extremely garbage, there was no way. The long supply line required a large amount of troops to protect, which forced Obestan to draw the main force to maintain the huge logistics supply of the entire army. The attacking force seemed to be stretched, so he had to let the Italians go to the front line to fight.

On June 27, 1943, Kinda held a combat meeting in the German command to discuss the current situation and discuss how to attack the Tobrug Fortress. At the beginning of the meeting, Chief of Staff Obestan was still telling the current situation.

"Gentlemen," Obestan held the baton in his hand and pointed to the combat map, starting his own story. "Now, our entire army has been deployed on the front line of the Tubrug Fortress. We have now concentrated all tanks and armored vehicles to invest in this battle. There are 500 combat aircraft and 800 artillery pieces, and 150,000 troops directly invested in the offensive.

Here, I have to say that we have 50,000 troops directly participating in the supply work. Although several Italian divisions have been ordered to come to reinforce, I really don’t have any hope for their combat effectiveness.

The British army had four divisions and some Benghazi retreated troops on defense, with a total strength of about 70,000. Two of them were the Indian Division and the South African Division, with a number of about 30,000. When the British Eighth Army retreated, it also left a large number of anti-tank guns at the Tobrug Fortress. According to the information we currently have, nearly 500 anti-tank guns were deployed in the Tobrug Fortress.

Since the entire Tobrug Fortress was operated by the British for many years, it had a strong and extremely strong peripheral position, and a large number of minefields surrounded the Tobrug Fortress. The British also built a large number of concrete fortifications and dug countless anti-tank trenches. A large number of anti-tank guns were also hidden in the trenches and waiting for our arrival at any time.

The defense in the city is even more amazing. According to the report of intelligence personnel, traffic trenches were built throughout the city and barricades were generally built. All the buildings on the street were transformed into fortifications, and the windows of high-rise buildings were transformed into firing holes. Countless tanks and anti-tank guns were buried in the dead corners of the street. The British claimed that they had the same defense as Stalingrad, and although their words were a bit exaggerated. However, this was indeed bad news. Once we were trapped in the quagmire of urban warfare, even if we successfully occupied the Fortress of Tobrug, the huge losses would make us unable to attack Egypt."

After Obestan stopped the introduction, everyone was silent. After all, street fighting was a shadow that they could not escape. After a while, Liszt said, "It seems that Tubrug is really not easy to attack. Do you want to throw a few more tons of smelly socks into it? When the British fainted before launching an attack."

Kimda shook his head in disagreement and said, "This trick like smelly socks can only be used once. The British must be prepared now. Besides, there are not so many smelly socks for you to throw. It is difficult to replenish supplies at present, so it is impossible to transport so many socks to the front line."

"Oh," Liszt responded, pulled out his military book "Golden, Bottle, Plum" from his clothes and read it carefully, hoping to find a good solution.

"Don't let my heavy tank rush in! Let's open the way for everyone. My Tiger tank has thick armor and is guaranteed to push the British into Italian cakes." Major General Zhan Song, the leader of the Tiger tank group, expressed his own opinions.

Jinda also disagrees with disagreement, "It is possible that your heavy tank will rush through the periphery position, but what about street fighting? No matter what tank, once it reaches a narrow city, it will become a living target, and you will be beaten into a Beijing roast duck with one shot. Even if we take down the Fortress of Tobrug, if we suffer heavy losses, how can we fight in the future? Do you drive a tractor to attack Egypt? Or will you take a toy car to attack Alaman?"

"This," Zhan Ge also fell into silence. Everyone knew in their hearts that now was not the time to fight hard. If they had to fight decisively with the main force of the Eighth Army in the future and put all their foundations in the future, half of the battles would be lost.

Jinda looked at his distressed subordinates, and he was also very upset. This battle was indeed difficult to fight. How could he occupy the Fortress of Tubrug and keep the losses within acceptable limits? Unless the British suddenly ran out like crazy and fought against him in the wild. Otherwise, it would be impossible to win all.

"Hey, it would be great if the British could come out to fight the final battle." Kinda subconsciously expressed his feelings.

"Yes! General Gesyun. But the British are not fools, they can only guard the Fortress of Tobrug. What they understand is that if they come out to fight us, they will be the stupidest fool in the world." Obestan exuded his own insights and interrupted Jintian's fantasy.

"Haha, that's different!" Liszt put away (Jin Ping Mei) and jokingly expressed his opinion. "I don't think so. If we put hundreds of tons of gold in front of the British battlefield, the British would definitely fight their best and would rush out of the position,,,,."

"Yes! Bang," Kimda suddenly slapped the table and interrupted Liszt's words. After a long time of stunnedness, he shouted to Liszt, "Liszt, say what you just said again."

A confusion flashed in Liszt's eyes, "I just said that if hundreds of tons of gold were placed in front of the British's positions, the British would definitely go out to grab gold with all their might."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, good idea! Good idea!" Jinda found that another genius and great plan was taking shape in his mind. Since he couldn't attack, he could just lure them out. And Liszt came up with a brilliant idea, knocking down his terrible inspiration, and letting him come up with a good plan to lure the British inside. As long as this plan is successful, the Tobrug Fortress is his own pocket.

Thinking of this, Jintian showed a unique treacherous smile on his lips. He strode to Liszt and smiled, "General Liszt, your English is quite fluent. No one can tell from your language that you are not a British. And you have cooked tea eggs and sold fried rice at Oxford University in the UK, and no one can know the British better than you. I have a very difficult task to hand over to you. I believe you will succeed. Please fight bravely for the revival of the Third Reich,"

"Aspect your orders." Liszt stood up without hesitation and gave a fascist salute.

"Okay! It's a man." Jintian sincerely exclaimed, "Don't worry! If you hang it accidentally, I will take good care of your family. In the future, I will send delicious foods such as dumplings for the Spring Festival, dumplings for the Lantern Festival, green balls for the Qingming Festival, rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, mooncakes for August 15 and other delicious foods."

"This, General Ge, General Ge Siyun, this mission sounds quite terrifying." Liszt asked tremblingly.

Jinda smiled and replied, "Is this mission scary at all, but it's a bit dangerous, and it's life-threatening. But is it? Only when there is danger can you get something. And your English is really good, so I can only ask you to perform this mission."

"But, this, oh," Liszt suddenly covered his stomach and screamed in surprise. "My stomach suddenly hurts so much! It hurts so much! It may be an endocrine disorder. It causes stomach upset, stomach acid, stomach bleeding, plus large intestine and small intestine ulcers. This is an old problem for more than 50 years. General Ge Siyun, you should ask someone else for your ability! I really can't help you! Oh,"

"Damn!" Jinda rushed forward and grabbed Liszt's collar. You must not pretend to be garlic here. You must go back this time, and you must go if you don't want to go. You still have to go if you don't want to go." Jinda relaxed and advised, "You will definitely succeed, just go with confidence."

"Oh," Liszt answered helplessly when he saw that things were a foregone conclusion.

Kimda loosened Liszt's collar and said carefully, "Liszt! You have to believe in your own abilities. This is difficult and easy. If we want to occupy the Tubrug Fortress with the minimum loss, this is the only choice. If we succeed, you! Wolfran von Liszt will become the hero of the country and the idol of the people.

Moreover, the front page headlines of newspapers around the world will be on the big-headed photos of you when Liszt won. PLMMs around the world will also regard you as your dream lover. What a happy thing. Don’t you want to transfer to the National Defense Forces? Now is a great time for you to become famous and establish yourself. I can also recommend you to be the General of the Empire."

"This," Liszt fell into doubt. It was indeed a great opportunity to wait for a thousand years and go for ten thousand years. But can it be possible? After thinking for a long time, Liszt made up his mind, "General Ge Siyun, if you have something to do, you can talk. For the Third Reich and Germany, I will go up to the Knife Mountain, go down the oil pan, break into the minefield, and travel to the sea of ​​fire, and I will die."

"I have ambition and ambition. I am worthy of being a loyal minister and general of the Third Reich. We cannot be without you on the road to revival of our Third Reich!"

"General Ge Siyun, what bad idea do you have? No, what great attention do you have?" Obestan couldn't stand the flattery of the two of them and asked.

Jintian smiled mysteriously and did not have a clear answer. After half a day, he spit out a few words: "Buddhist promise, ", cannot be said, cannot be said."
