“I thought about it for three days and three nights, but I still couldn’t figure it out. Why didn’t the British army dare to go out of the city to fight me?”
Rommel put down the telescope and asked the deputy general beside him with a puzzled look.
His troops came from the south of Gaul, and did not make any stops along the way. After sailing for four days and three nights, they finally arrived at the sea off Aiji!
At this time, if the British army took the initiative to deploy defenses on the coastline to resist the German attack, the German army might not be able to take advantage of the British army’s strict defense in its exhausted state at that time!
However, a strange thing happened!
The British army actually gave up the choice of defending the enemy outside the country. They chose to give up the choice of blocking the German army on the seashore and directly went to Kailuo City, the capital of Aiji, and seemed to intend to rely on this city to fight the German army.
This move made Rommel very puzzled!
However, since the British army did not come to stop them, he was not polite. After the army successfully landed on the shore, it immediately went outside Kailuo City. Set up camp and start resting!
The German soldiers were very tired. They still needed to take a good rest and recover their energy before launching an attack on Kailuo!
However, before that, if the British army felt that their defense was lax and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and wanted to go out of the city to attack them, then Rommel would naturally be more than happy!
In fact, if the British army really huddled in Kailuo City, it would not be very beneficial to the German army. After all, Rommel’s troops were mainly mechanized troops. They were good at launching attacks in the wild and not good at fighting in the dense streets and alleys of the city.
However, the British army seemed to be determined to be a tortoise. They did not send troops or interfere with the German army’s rest.
In this way, Rommel’s troops rested for three days in a row after landing. The soldiers were well fed and slept, and they were full of energy. They began to attack the British army with high morale!
“Humph, are you finally here? Since you are here, let me show you the secret weapon we have prepared for you!”
In Kailuo City, seeing the German army coming aggressively, the British garrison commander stationed here showed a smug look on his face!
The reason why he did not choose to go to the beachhead to stop the German army was because he was frightened by the battle on Malta!
The German Air Force turned Malta into a sea of fire with one bombing. If his troops went out of the city to fight the Germans, and the German Air Force came again, wouldn’t he become a roasted suckling pig?
After such a precedent, the garrison commander did not dare to act rashly!
The streets in Kailuo City are narrow and the buildings are very dense. Among the more than 20 million people, nearly 30% are concentrated in this city, which makes this city and… The total population around is over 10,000!
In this era, cities with a population of over 5 million are very rare. Only the former capital of the British Empire and several large cities in the United States can reach this level. Other cities cannot break the 5 million mark!
However, this number does not seem to be a problem for Aiji. Although their land area is large, most of it is desert. Only the Nile Delta area near the sea is habitable. Therefore, 99% of the country’s population is concentrated in this area, and most of this area is arable land. The population cannot be dispersed too far, otherwise it will occupy precious arable land.
Therefore, the population of Aiji Highly concentrated, almost all of them are concentrated in several large cities along the Nile River and the seaside. As their capital, Kailuo City naturally has the largest population!
Although Kailuo’s prosperity is not comparable to other cities, the population density here is so high that there are naturally a large number of houses for these people to live in. In addition, cars are not popular in the country, and there are very few cars on the streets, which makes the requirements for road traffic not high. This leads to very narrow streets in their cities, and the distance between buildings is very close. The whole city is densely packed with houses!
Such terrain is perfect for street fighting!
For the British army, they are very familiar with the terrain here. Familiarity, Duoyi can rely on the geographical advantage to fight against the German army.
Moreover, the streets of this city are very narrow, which makes it almost impossible for the German tanks and armored vehicles to move in the city, and it is impossible to support all aspects.
In this way, the offensive power of the German army will be greatly reduced. The British army may be able to deal a heavy blow to the German army in street fighting, and it may even break the myth of the invincibility of the German army!
Starting from the German-Polish War in 1923, Hans has laughed to the end almost every time in the five-year foreign war, and has never failed!
The result is that the reputation of the German army as the strongest army in Europe has begun to spread to the world with their continuous accumulation of results.
Moreover, with the great victory of the Gallic Campaign and the Battle of the Sun Never Sets, the reputation of the German army was further enhanced. At this time, they were no longer the strongest army in Europe, but the strongest army in the world!
After conducting in-depth research on this army, people were surprised to find that this army had not suffered a defeat so far!
Under the training of Mainz, this army has established its own undefeated myth!
If I can defeat the German army at this time and break the myth of the German army’s invincibility, then for the British army, it will not only greatly improve their morale, but also allow the entire Sun Never Sets to recover from the shadow of the fall of the homeland!
Thinking of this, the commander of the British army felt dry mouth and his heart beat uncontrollably!
After this crazy idea appeared in his mind, he could no longer suppress it!
To be honest, it is a very terrifying thing for the British defenders in the city to confront such a strong army with a brilliant record!
They knew that their field combat capabilities were not as good as the Germans, so they did not dare to leave the city to fight outside the city. Instead, they chose to use their strengths as much as possible and use street fighting to fight against the Germans!
If Rommel really rushed in without caring, he might really suffer.
However, Rommel always liked to take the enemy by surprise in battle! Just when the British troops in the city thought that the Germans were coming to attack Kailuo, so they were ready to meet the enemy, they were surprised to find that the Germans passed by Kailuo City quickly, and hundreds of thousands of troops did not even look at them, and went straight to the east!
Seeing this scene, the British generals’ faces changed drastically:”Oh no, the Germans are heading for the Suez Canal!”_
