Today we talk about the North African theater during World War II. Italy finally couldn't hold back its loneliness and invaded Libya in North Africa. Before the invasion of North Africa, the Italians were in Europe, and that was how big a face, how conspicuous! First he was beaten by the dying France, and then he was crushed to the ground by greece, a weak European country. Mussolini understood in his heart at this time that Italy was in Europe, that is, a "scum of war".
In this acre and three points of modern civilization in Europe, the Italians can't understand it. But Mussolini, he had a dream, and his dream was to restore the glory of the Roman Empire! But don't mention restoring the glory of the Roman Empire, you are the shame of the Roman Empire. At this time, Mussolini must come up with a decent report card, otherwise, his old face really has no place to put it. Europe we can't go on mixing, so we go to Africa and reach out. Now these places in Africa are British colonies, and Britain has just been beaten by Germany and is now panting. If Italy were to invade North Africa at this time, the British would really not be able to take care of it. Dunkirk retreated, and 300,000 British troops were almost naked and returned to their homeland. However, the British are still very good-looking, thieves will be the whole scene, almost beaten into three grandchildren, but also licked a big face and said, this is a glorious victory, you really will comfort yourself, you are happy. Mussolini has seen that, now, in North Africa, although the British are in command, the north African army is made of local indigenous people. Can't italy beat even African natives? So Mussolini was also full of confidence and invaded North Africa. The ideal is a pot of Dongpo meat, but the reality is a plate of fennel beans, and the gap is too big.
More than 300,000 Italian soldiers, led by the British, the African natives were beaten to the ground, and the heads of people were beaten into pig heads. The Italian soldiers surrendered in formation, a company, a battalion, a regiment, and the prisoners captured by the British had to be counted on the basis of a few acres of land, which could not be counted at all, and this had to be a dense formation. Mosolini really couldn't hold back. So he had to find the big brother Hitler to help. Big brother, I'm playing again, you have to hurry up and save me! When Hitler heard the news, he was confused, old Mo, I really served you! You were actually rubbed on the ground by the African natives, you are really a shame in Europe! What sins I have done in my previous life, I have become an ally with you.
Mussolini invaded North Africa, which Hitler also supported. Hitler's idea was simple: Italy's sacs would do well not to mess with me in Europe. It's good that you go to Africa, which was a secondary battlefield in World War II. Although Africa is rich in resources, if you want to take advantage of Africa's resources, you must build mines, factories, and roads in Africa. These things have been done well, and now the German soldiers have to become grandfathers, and it must be the Year of the Monkey. To this day, most African countries do not have the capacity to industrialize. You Mussolini entertained yourself in Africa, and you were very energetic. But Mussolini would have benefited Hitler if he had taken North Africa. If the Italian army had been more normal, they would have taken Egypt and taken control of the Suez Canal. In this way, the British mainland was cut off from the British colonies in Africa and Asia, especially India, so that the resources of the colonies, as well as the soldiers of the three brothers, could not be easily transported to the British mainland and the European battlefield, and they had to pass through the Cape of Good Hope. In this way, their distance will be tens of thousands of kilometers, and the third brother's gang will have to vomit when they get to the place. However, who would have thought that the Italians would be so indisputable and defeated by the African natives. And by this time, the Allies were beginning to value Africa, and the British were constantly increasing their troops to North Africa. If North Africa had been taken all by the British, the British would have landed in the heart of Europe from the Mediterranean. In this way, it would be equivalent to stabbing the Germans in the back, which would make Hitler very uncomfortable. Hitler did not want to see his backyard catch fire. Although the moustache is horizontal and vertical can not look at this Mussolini. However, the Help of the Italians cannot but help.
Mussolini's whole moustache is quite disturbing. Don't look at this time, Hitler is as stable as an old dog on the outside, but he is panicked on the inside. At this moment, the mustache was bent on fighting the Soviet Union, because he had to draw some troops from the troops preparing to invade the Soviet Union, as well as supplies to Go to North Africa and clean up the mess of the Italians. The last time the Italians were beaten by the Greeks, Hitler had to send troops to invade Greece and Yugoslavia. In this way, the "Barbarossa Plan" to attack the SOVIET Union was postponed for a month. What does this month mean for Germans? I don't need to talk about it, this month has delayed a big thing! Italy that's the ceiling for pig teammates. To tell the truth, in all the wars of hegemony in Europe, the Russians have behaved like a bear, but there is really no one in The European countries who can subdue this bear. Neither Napoleon at his peak nor Hitler, who was arrogant and explosive, failed to do so, and both of their soldiers froze to death on the cold land of Russia. The Russians have two magic weapons to fight on the mainland, the first is that the Russians "bare-handed sun bear", that is the fighting nation, each one is a tiger bar, life and death are looking down, do not obey! The second is that the Russians play "scorched earth tactics". Every time a powerful enemy invades the Russian land, when the Russian army cannot be defeated, they will wisely retreat backwards, and when they retreat, destroy everything that can be taken away and cannot be taken away, so that you will eat or drink. However, once it enters the winter, it is too cool, the Russian land in the winter, is not a place where people can stay, that is the home of the polar bear, casually minus thirty or forty degrees, not to mention people can not stand, weapons and equipment can not stand. The cannon did not sound, and the bolt could not be pulled at all. The land of Russia is a sad place. The moustache was not short of hearts and eyes, and he estimated all the difficulties. He was going to give him the "polar bear" of the Soviet Union before winter. Then occupy Moscow. However, the Fuehrer was calculating, and if he missed a calculation, he did not calculate that Mussolini, a pig teammate, could pit him.
To help the Italians, Moustache transferred two armored divisions from the troops that invaded the Soviet Union, and dispatched a large amount of supplies, as well as 700 trucks. Before invading the Soviet Union, Germany had only used a total of 1,400 trucks to fight in those European countries, which sent half of Germany's capacity to North Africa. There was no way, that part of North Africa could only use trucks, he couldn't learn from the Italians, and the logistics basically relied on mules. The Germans played "Blitzkrieg", a mule that couldn't keep up with the speed of a tank, and there was a shortage of water in that part of North Africa, and the mules died of thirst sooner or later. This had a considerable impact on Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union. However, this matter is not over, a thousand armies are easy to get, one will be difficult to find, one soldier will bear, one will bear a nest, who will bring these two armored divisions? At that time, Germany was preparing to invade the Soviet Union, and the German generals, that was also a turnip, a pit, could not be adjusted. The mustache was here, and when he was upset, his secretary told him that there was really a person idle now, and this person was Rommel. At that time, Rommel was on vacation, and Rommel was Hitler's favorite, which was his little treasure and had great use. Sending Rommel to North Africa, a place where rabbits don't, the mustache is unwilling. However, now north Africa has burned eyebrows, no way, just you! The moustache didn't say a word, ended Rommel's vacation, called him to the Fuehrer's mansion, and sprayed Rommel. At the call of the Empire and the Fuehrer, he did not say a word, Rommel was a serious soldier. Putting a generation of famous generals Rommel in the secondary battlefield of North Africa, Hitler was also extremely depressed, but now he really had no tricks. If Rommel had thrown himself on the land of the Soviet Union and let him fight, it would have been hard to say what kind of shape he could have played.
Rommel came to North Africa with two elite panzer divisions, the 5th Panzer Division and the 15th Panzer Division. As soon as he arrived in North Africa, he saw these Italian soldiers, and Rommel's brain hurt. You Italians still go to the side to watch the play, the war really can't count on you, you are a bunch of foodies, professional cooks. The German army and the Italian army are not in the same dimension at all. What Rommel brought to North Africa, that is the elite of the German armored division, called the elite, then there must be two characteristics, the first characteristic, excellent ability, very capable of fighting, combat effectiveness against the sky, people block killing, magic block killing. Second, the number of people who can be called elite troops will not be too large, otherwise you will not be worthy of the word "fine". The moustache really can't give too many troops to Rommel, after all, North Africa is a secondary battlefield, and it is a serious matter to fight the Soviet Union. The fighting power and morale of the Italian army were world-renowned. Fighting with this bunch of sacs, that's a drag oil bottle. To transform the Italian army in a short period of time, you don't want to think about it, you are dreaming. This is like saying that the Chinese men's football team can win the 2022 World Cup championship, if you have this idea, you can go to the mental hospital to see the doctor, you are sick, you have to be cured! Rommel could only win the war with a very small number of elite troops, with a huge rabble. Moreover, at this time, the British were constantly increasing their troops to North Africa. This soldier was not the natives of the colony, it was the British soldiers of the Eight Classics. Later, the United States entered the war and also increased its troops to North Africa.
Rommel is on this card face, you look at how to play it, the heavens are greatly entrusted to the Scythians, Rommel is Rommel, he is the God of War! God was also a man, and he did what man could not do, and he became God. In order to fool the British army, and in order to improve the morale of the Italian gang, Rommel played a desperate game. Moreover, it achieves the effect of killing two birds with one stone. As soon as Rommel arrived in North Africa, he could still hear the sound of artillery in the front position, and at this time, Rommel was still on the scene, and he made a military parade with great fanfare. He held this military parade in the name of the mighty division of the Empire to Come to North Africa. The scene was really noisy, firecrackers were fired in unison, flags were unfurled, there were many people, and the reporters who could be invited were all invited. The German tanks that had just arrived in North Africa, one by one, drove past the observation deck, silently being examined by Rommel and the senior Italian generals in North Africa. This lineup is really shocking, this "steel torrent" has never been interrupted, which is the tank of two divisions, this is simply the tank of two armies. The Italians look at the straight circle, and the Germans have a really thick bottom. Moreover, there is general Rommel commanding, and the morale of the Italians has risen at this moment, there are so many tanks, and there is also general Rommel commanding, the British I am still afraid of you a hammer! The parade was seen not only by the Italians, but also by the British, and the British reconnaissance planes never stopped, and the reconnaissance planes took pictures of all this. The pictures showed the British commanders that the liver was almost scared out. It seems that the Germans have come to Africa to play for their lives. When the Germans swept through Europe, the main forces of France and Britain could not hold back. We, the African miscellaneous armies, simply don't have enough to see, how can this be done? In fact, Rommel did not have so many tanks on his hands, where did so many tanks come from? Could it be that Rommel borrowed it? No, these tanks were all fakes, Rommel had found a group of carpenters to make out of wood, painted on top, and inside was a small cart. You don't have to say that the carpenters' hands are still really clever. This hand completely crippled the British. Years later, there was an Iraqi named Saddam Hussein who also learned from Rommel, and he also made a lot of wooden models of tanks, but this Saddam would also keep up with the times, making a large number of Scud missiles out of plaster, and he was also fooling the American and British forces.
Through this cunning means, Rommel deceived the eyes and ears of the Allies, as well as the British reconnaissance aircraft, so that the British made a wrong judgment. With this scheme, Rommel seized the lead on the battlefield. Even the fake tanks made by Rommel are so handsome and realistic, and the German army is handsome, even if they jump on the side of the road and kick the shuttlecocks very handsome. Like the Italian army, it is too ugly, even if these goods wear a brand of good clothes, play golf, it is still like shoveling. The British looked at this posture at that time, the British high command issued an order to the troops on the front line, if you encounter the German armored troops in battle, do not love the war, do not do unnecessary resistance, put the African natives in the front of the position, let them be "meat shields". Our British officers and soldiers can be broken, as far as possible, and preserving strength is the king. The British in the major positions in North Africa received this strange order, and the soldiers took it as their duty to obey the order. After this, as long as the British saw the yellow sand raised by the German tanks, and the rumbling motor sound of the German tanks, the gang began to run away, what equipment, what material, can not be, to save their lives is what is important. The British spirit of staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, once the Germans come in, this gang of goods is riding a foreign horse, carrying a foreign knife, and chirping is a squawk. If the Skill Point of the Italians in World War II was surrender, then the British focused all their skill points on escape, and the Dunkirk Evacuation was their pinnacle. During World War II, in the major British colonies, you can see the scene of the British running away in their bags, and in Burma, the British were thinking of running, and they choked our Chinese Expeditionary Force enough.
In this state, the German armored division is in North Africa, which is invincible, people block killing, and demons block killing demons. The British just didn't resist and ran away. At that time, the British army had an armored brigade, and the Germans were determined to fight a hard battle with the British, who could have imagined that the British would be a squire, and these tanks had almost all become the spoils of the Germans, and they were intact, and you said how defeated the British were. Rommel set foot on the North African battlefield and, in less than two months, regained all the territory lost by the Italians and expanded another 880 kilometers in the direction of the Allies. The Germans were really cutting wires with kitchen knives, sparks and lightning along the way. This also allows Italians who have been nesting all their lives to occasionally take a hand. And Rommel in half a year, the official title is soaring, half a year ago when he first set foot on the land of North Africa, he was only a lieutenant general, now he has become a marshal, marshal's little cane, by the one he played with a slip.
Rommel was on the battlefield in North Africa, and it was completely drifting. No one can deny that Rommel was a tactical genius and capable. However, capable people generally have personalities, and Rommel is a dictatorial and stubborn person, and he can't pull back ten excavators for what he believes. When Rommel led his "Division of Steel" to victory, the Italian command always gave Rommel orders. After all, you Rommel came to North Africa to help, and the command of the North African troops was still in the hands of these Italians. The orders given to Rommel by the Italians were basically the same, that is, after Rommel had won the battle, asked Rommel to stop, rest, rest, rest, not to venture in, we must fight steadily. Rommel is not a fool, you gang of goods, a victory can not be fought, if I listen to you, I am brain damaged, stop a hammer, must take advantage of the victory to chase, beat the falling water dog, now we have to dry up! The goods that have never won the battle, can the words of these goods be listened to? These Italian orders were all burned by Rommel, not to mention the orders of you Italian fools, the orders of the Führer, Rommel also dared to disobey, you are old!
However, Rommel's growing waves in North Africa also gave Hitler a headache. The original meaning of the moustache was to let Rommel compare himself in North Africa, so that the British continued to increase their troops to North Africa. Then you Rommel in North Africa with these British people, just don't let my backyard catch fire. At this time, the main direction of our German offensive was the Eastern Front, and there was only one enemy, and that was the Soviet Union. I want to put a lot of manpower and material resources into the Eastern Front battlefield, North Africa is only a secondary battlefield, I don't have much spare money, throw it into the pit of North Africa, you just have to spend with the British in North Africa, it is the greatest support for me. Rommel, you're going to fight the "affordability war" in North Africa. But as soon as Rommel's wild horse arrived in North Africa, it could not hold the reins at all, and it was completely happy. The British army was directly beaten by Rommel, and several commanders were replaced, all of which were not good, one more than the other. The British officers and soldiers could not help but lament, cunning as foxes, Rommel also! Since then, Rommel has been nicknamed "Desert Fox". The "Desert Fox" shocked the world.
Under the command of the Germans, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Italians began to become normal, and the mental outlook of the entire army was also renewed. This change surprised the British, who lost several battles in a row. The British reflexively believed that as long as they saw the Italian soldiers, they had come to surrender, who would have thought that these Italian soldiers would actually shoot at the British and launch a charge. Although the Italians only helped the Germans beat the side drums, ran away from the dragon set, and did all the work of breaking up. But this also left the British completely confused, and they once wondered whether the Germans had put on the Italian uniforms, or the Italian army could not have been so normal, unless they had taken drugs. Fortunately for the British, however, not all Italian troops had changed, but the Italian army under German command was a little more normal. When cooperation between the two sides ended, Germany and Italy divided their camps. After this fight, the Italians returned to their original appearance, and their original appearance was vividly displayed.
