"Please be quiet, gentlemen."

After the opening remarks, Yang Fan looked solemn and pressed his hands with his hands, and said in an excited tone.

"Everyone, now we get back to the point. As everyone has been expecting, from today on our African War Zone Allied Forces will officially enter the strategic counterattack stage."

"Today we have only one issue, that is, to arrange and deploy a counterattack campaign against the Axis Army! This battle is divided into three stages,..."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Fan came out of the pallet of the counterattack plan that had been discussed with Stilwell and others.

Yang Fan has been leading the North African war zone for half a year. After a long period of despicable development and a protracted war of attrition, he finally ended his hardships and sweetness!

Nowadays, the African Allied forces not only have absolute advantages in air and sea control, but also have become more abundant in the army and have the strength to fight head-on with Rommel's African Legion.

Correspondingly, Rommel's African Legion was unable to move forward due to insufficient technical and equipment supply, especially the bottleneck of oil shortage, and was forced to move into strategic defense.

Having accumulated enough strength, Yang Fan really had no need to keep a low profile. The African battlefield needs to be resolved as soon as possible to create a prerequisite for opening up the second battlefield in Europe.

This is not to say that Yang Fan wanted to keep following the British and American coalition forces to cause trouble, but to plan to shift the focus to the country after the Allies gained absolute war initiative in the African theater and launch a comprehensive strategic counterattack against Japan.

In fact, at this time, major changes are taking place in the domestic battlefield.

As the Hu Ben Army showed its strong attack power, it was constantly expanding its territory and conquering the surrounding Japanese-occupied areas bit by bit. Coupled with the unprecedented victory of the Third Battle of Changsha, more than 300,000 American armed troops returned to the Chinese battlefield.

The Japanese army has already felt a great military threat.

The Myanmar General Army, which was hoarded in Thailand, had 1 million heavy troops, but after launching a large-scale counterattack many times, they could not gain any advantage in the Chinese Hu Ben Army. It was useless to increase casualties.

Since it is impossible to conquer Myanmar, such strategic resources cannot be wasted idle.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese base camp had to settle for the second best, so it had the idea of ​​the Myanmar General Army and had ordered the dispatch of 600,000 of them to the Chinese battlefield.

In fact, this is not a second-rate. The Chinese battlefield has always been the most important core interest in the eyes of the Japanese government.

Just as the infamous Memorial of Tanaka says, "If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchus and Mongolia; if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China."

Therefore, the domestic battlefield still has a long way to go, and Yang Fan must seize the time to get the African battlefield done.

After the meeting, the Allied Navy, Navy, Air and Air Forces began to actively operate in accordance with strategic deployment, and an unprecedented counterattack war was about to begin.

On May 2, at a front-line station of the German and Italian coalition forces.

Because it is located in a deserted desert and there are no comfortable houses, Rommel had to set up his headquarters in a tent.

Rommel shaved in front of the mirror.

While shaving, the two orderly soldiers carried a large bucket of clean water into the tent where Rommel was located and found Rommel.

Freshwater resources in the desert are of course extremely precious, but to whom?

After shaving his beard, Rommel took a comfortable cool shower with cold water.

After taking a shower, he changed into a clean shirt and faced the cool breeze blowing into the tent, Rommel suddenly felt refreshed, and the heat and stuffiness brought by the hot summer in the desert were greatly reduced.

In another tent, Chief of Staff Menegy, Chief of Operations, Bollot and others were not so comfortable, and they were busy all the time.

They worked hard with several combat staff for a long time before finally presenting the latest updates of the Allies and the Alliance on the map one by one.

Because of this, Rommel can intuitively view the current situation in North Africa through the map and make accurate judgments and response plans.

When he walked into the tent and saw the achievements of Menegie and others, Rommel nodded happily and said, "General Menegie, thank you for your hard work, you have done a good job."

"It's hard at all."

Hearing the praise from his boss, Menegi stood at attention with great joy and said respectfully, "It is our supreme honor to be able to serve the General and the Head of State for the Empire."

"very good!"

Rommel waved his hand and looked carefully on the map.

At this time, Menegi began to explain: "Genius, according to the information provided by the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, the three Allied armies have arrived near Siva, Gala and Sidubaira."

"Yeah?"

Rommel frowned slightly, "So, the Allies should be launching a large-scale counterattack, and they can no longer sit still."

"Yes, General, you are really imaginary and have calculated all the reactions of the Allies to the extreme early."

Menegi said respectfully, "Every move of the Allies now does not deviate from your judgment of the General. They really want to start from the Mediterranean supply line first, and will use the coastal line as the main attack direction."

"This is also an expected result. The Allies have gained a sea and air advantage, and our supply problems have begun to arise."

Rommel said with a smile, "Whether for the Allies or for our Axis coalition, cutting off the other side's logistics supply line is the most effective way to win."

"In this situation where I can make a big fortune with a small fortune, if I am the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, I would not choose to rush to fight head-on with the Axis Alliance."

Speaking of this, Rommel said in a heavy tone: "If we cannot solve the supply problem as soon as possible, we will be in big trouble."

Rommel was really a little troubled. At the critical moment of having the most overwhelming advantage, more than 200,000 Chinese Expeditionary Forces arrived.

With Yang Fan's strong intervention, the Allies quickly had the backbone and restored their will to fight. Not only did they withstand the crazy attacks of the Axis troops like storms, but they also launched a series of beautiful counterattacks to stabilize the North African Allied camp that was about to collapse.

At that time, Rommel had an ominous premonition.

What happened next became reality step by step, just as Rommel predicted.

After a long period of severe consumption, insufficient industrial production capacity and shortage of oil, the North African German and Italian coalition forces began to gradually lose their technical and equipment advantages, but the Allies were fighting stronger and stronger, and the technical and equipment density was several times that of them.

What’s worst for Rommel at present is that the Soviet Union has recovered with continuous assistance, and the war situation on the Soviet-German battlefield is changing.
