The combat plan formulated by Yang Fan is similar to the Second Battle of Alamein in the original history. In the plan, the Allies will use 15 days to achieve victory by "breaking in, fighting, and defeating".

The Allied forces unfolded from north to south in the Matru area, with the entire attack line being more than 50 kilometers long. The main force carried out major assaults in the northern section of the front line. First, the British 10th Army broke through the opponent's defense line, and then the Chinese 1st Army, the US 15th Army and other troops carried out in-depth assaults.

At the same time, the 6th Army of the US Army, the 13th British Army and other troops will directly attack and restrain the troops from the south. They will have fierce fire with the German Armored Division and the Italian Armored Division there.

In this way, the Axis forces in the south will not go north to reinforce, so that the main forces of the Allied forces can concentrate their superior forces to annihilate the main forces of the German and Italian troops in the coastal areas.

Two months before the battle, Yang Fan had already started to use some deception tactics against the Axis army in order to catch the Axis off guard when the war began.

Yang Fan not only had to deceive them at the battle location, but also gave them the wrong time to initiate the deception. The code name of these deceptions is "Operation Troy".

In March, the Allies dumped some waste items in the north, such as dismantled suitcases and ammunition boxes, and disguised them to make them look like ammunition depots and granaries.

The Axis Army naturally discovered them, but the Allies did not launch a large-scale attack after that.

Moreover, after a period of time, the location of the "ammunition depots" and "granary silos" did not change, so the Axis Army did not take them seriously.

This allowed the Allies to exchange the waste on the front line at night for real ammunition tanks, oil tanks and granaries without being discovered by the enemy.

At the same time, the Allies also began to build a fake oil pipeline on the Southern Front.

This would lead the Axis Army to believe that the battle would begin after the start of the Allied Plan and the location would be in the south.

To further confuse the enemy, the Allies covered the Jeep with plywood in the south to make it look like a tank, while the tanks in the north were also covered with plywood, looking like a transport team.

In the "light foot operation" carried out tonight, Yang Fan planned to use two commandos to cross the minefields set up by the German army in the north and clear them out. Then the armored troops will pass here to defeat the German armored troops.

At 10 pm, when the large-scale artillery operation started, the infantry of the British 30th Corps followed behind several mine-de-de-carriers side by side.

Their destination was to advance to the middle area of ​​the Axis army and destroy the external defense line there, and then the Allied forces would send an armored force to consolidate the position, thus forming a forward position fulcrum.

At the same time, in the main attack north, the engineers began large-scale mine clearance operations, opening up a safe passage wide enough for the armored troops.

On May 5, at 4 a.m. the next day, under the cover of continuous artillery bombardment, the infantry of the 30th British Army successfully captured the central outer defense line of the Axis Army.

The engineers on the North Road have been unwilling to open a 30-meter-wide and 30-kilometer-long safety passage.

The 6th Army of the US Army, the 13th British Army and several other troops had already set out an hour ago to launch a feint attack on the southern defense line of the Axis Army.

"Since that's the case, what are you waiting for? Order the troops to launch an attack on the ground and water according to the original plan!"

At this time, Yang Fan and others were already in charge of command at the Allied Command.

With the order, 200 tanks of the Central Army and 600 tanks of the Northern Army started to advance at the same time.

As the leading tank had entered the minefield, while thick smoke was spraying out from behind the butt, rolling of dust was rolling up.

Soon there was no visibility along the way, and I could only rush forward one after another. The blockage became more and more serious.

Fortunately, the armored troops are in straight lines. As long as they are close to each other, they will not be lost, nor will they be in a wrong way to dive into a minefield and play with self-destruction.

At the same time, the naval fleet also began to anchor from the sea near the Port of Martru and marched along the coastline to cooperate with the army's forces in combat.

As for the air force, the air force would not be idle. Hundreds of bombers took off from the port of Matru and the city of Cairo further away, and under the protection of a large number of escort fighters, they rushed towards the Axis military defense line on the Umsayad line.

It has to be said that the United States' industrial production capacity is strong. In just a few months, although the Allied forces on the battlefield on North Africa were extremely consumed, under the crazy supplement, the Allied tanks and aircraft increased instead of reducing.

Especially in terms of combat aircraft, the Axis Army has long been thrown out a few streets at this moment.

Moreover, compared with the German "tactical air force", the "strategic air force" created by the Americans is so powerful that they have no friends.

The concept of "strategic air force" originated from the United States' large-scale strategic bombing against Germany and Japan during World War II. The initial concept referred to the "air force with strategic bomber troops".

Strategic bombers refer to large bombers that carry out long-range bombings to weaken enemy war capabilities.

Unlike tactical bombers that are used to bomb military and military equipment in a certain war zone, the function of strategic bombers is to carry out strategic bombing, that is, fly into the heart of the enemy to strike strategic targets such as major military facilities, factories and cities.

The three types of bombers, ju-88, he-111 and do-17 that Germany basically used in World War II were relatively lightweight and were not suitable for participating in strategic bombing missions.

The only one they can call heavy-duty Junker ju     89, which is a heavy bomber developed by the Nazi Luftwaffe before the outbreak of World War II. The aircraft was cancelled before it even entered production.

The range of the Luftwaffe combat aircraft is only more than 1,000 kilometers long, which can only ensure attack cover on the battlefield and have no ability to launch large-scale attacks on the enemy's rear.

Because Germany did not have strategic attack capabilities, it was a mess in the battle of Britain, not to mention rushing thousands of miles to attack the enemy's rear industrial base.

The US Air Force has a b29 bomber with a range of 6,000 kilometers and is equipped with a large number of weapons that have self-protection capabilities. It can rush thousands of miles to attack German rear industrial bases. This is called the Strategic Air Force.

The US military's long-range bomber group has the ability to fully bomb the defense lines of the Axis military powers on the North African battlefield, and can even cover the entire Italian territory.

Especially after the German fighter jet troops had lost air supremacy after a series of attrition wars, this advantage was still infinitely amplified.

Over the past period of time, the US long-range bomber fleet has caused the Axis troops to suffer, Tobrook, Benghazi, and even Tripoli, the capital of Libya, have been bombed several times.

At around five o'clock in the morning, before the Allied armored troops were about to exchange fire with the Axis troops, the Allied bomber group that had been raided for a long distance started bombing mode in the German dense anti-aircraft artillery.

Chirping, heavy bombs roared like rain.
