Chapter 152 The Victory of Montgomery

When the British occupied the German defense line and captured the Italian soldiers on the position, the officers and staff around Montgmarley all raised their hands and applauded. "Ba, p," everyone smiled and praised the great British army for achieving another brilliant victory under the leadership of General Montgmarley.

"General Montgmarley is powerful and broke through the German defense line in an instant. That Rommel is not your opponent. It seems that he is trapped in Jebibina this time and will definitely not be able to escape."

"General Montgmarley is really a god. He has only been a famous general in a century. He is simply the rebirth of Caesar and the reincarnation of Napole. The great British army is really the one who wants to cut the mud under your leadership."

"I don't say much nonsense. I firmly believe that it is a lifelong honor to be a soldier under General Montgmarley. I firmly believe that it is because of the more grass on my ancestral tomb that I have the opportunity to join the army under General Montgmarley and fight with General Montgmarley."

Montgmarley listened to his subordinates' praise, and his psychology was so beautiful! That's so cool! But his face still looked serious. After making a full gesture, he slowly said, "Our battle has just begun. What we have broken through is the Italian defense line. Now is not the time to be happy. Everyone must not relax. We still have many tough battles and bad battles to fight. As the battle continues, we will encounter more intense resistance in the future. Our opponent is Rommel, whose nickname is the Desert Fox, and he is a very cunning figure. Everyone must be vigilant and persist in fighting. For the sake of the British King and the British Empire, fight bravely."

"For the King of England, for the British Empire," the officers also shouted loudly to Montgraley's voice, for fear that Montgraley would not hear his voice.

Montgmarley waved his hand to restrain his passion, took his ruler to measure the battle map, thinking about the next battle plan. Montgmarley was a noble family, his father was a farmer, and his family had a lot of farmland. In other words, Montgmarley was the descendant of a landlord. Countless British farmers farmed for the Montgmarley family. Montgmarley followed his father to measure the land of his family when he was very young. As a result, this habit was brought to the battlefield. Montgmarley would use a ruler to measure the land before commanding the battle.

"The troops rest for 30 minutes, and after 45 minutes, the artillery began to shell the enemy's second line of defense. Then the tank troops launched another charge. Before dark, we will capture the enemy's second line of defense. We will strive to start an attack on the enemy's core position at noon tomorrow, and enter the city of Jebibina the day after tomorrow." Montgmarley put down the ruler and issued the latest combat order.

"Yes! General Montgmarley." The officers around him saluted Montgmarley and answered in unison.

Half an hour later, the British artillery positions began to be busy in sequence again. After receiving the order to fire the artillery, the British artillery corrected the direction of the artillery and filled the shells into the barrel. Then came a series of dizzy roars, and various artillery fired roars. The shells were scattered on the German positions, and a bunch of sand and soil were blown into the sky as the shells landed and exploded. A few meters high sand waves were raised. The entire German position was also filled with choking sand and smoke of artillery fire.

Montgmarley proudly looked at the German positions in the artillery fire in the distance, and his eyes revealed an indescribable sense of conceit. The rushing mud and sand after the shell exploded reminded Montgmarley of the scene when sowing the seeds during the busy farming season at home. At that moment, he followed his father to command the farmers to cultivate the land. It’s a pity that the explosion of desert land in front of him was really barren and could not plant any cash crops.

"What a pity. If you use these shells to blow up the cultivated land during the busy farming period, you will definitely save a lot of sowing time and money." Montgmarley involuntarily poured out his yearning for farmland and his desire for land.

When the adjutant Irving heard Montgmarley mention the words of farmland, he suddenly remembered something. "General Montgmarley, I almost forgot. Yesterday, your housekeeper Blaley sent a telegram saying that he had encountered a famine today and the harvest in the fields was not good. The farmers who farmed for your farming asked you to reduce the rent and ask you to reissue the seeds. Otherwise, they would go to the Royal Farmers Protection Association to sue you."

Montgmarley browed slightly, and the good mood brought by victory just now was dispersed by this unfortunate news. "Damn! The landlords' family have no surplus food! These evil country bumpkins actually asked me to reduce the rent for them and to reissue seeds. It was really delusional. I immediately generated electricity for my housekeeper Blair and asked him to tell those evil country bumpkins that I would never reduce the rent and would never reissue seeds. If these farmers still cause trouble, let my housekeeper go to the Royal Landlords Protection Association for help. I want to teach those farmers who are causing trouble a lesson. My family is protected by the British Empire's landlord law, so I am not afraid of those farmers' rebels."

"Yes! General Montgmarley, I'll do it right away."

Seeing his adjutant leaving, Montgmarley turned his attention to the smoke of the battlefield again. The shelling had just stopped, and hundreds of British tanks launched a group attack again. The tankers in dozens of M3 tanks could not stand the speed of Churchill Type 3 tanks being slower than the turtle and faster than the snail. He drove out of the queue and rushed to the front, and rushed straight to the enemy's position.

Lieutenant Colonel Neville did not stop his subordinates from acting recklessly. In his eyes, tanks should have assaulted so quickly and penetrated into the enemy's positions on a large scale. Montgomery was too careful. Judging from the current situation, the positions ahead must be defended by the Italians, and they did not seem to have any anti-tank weapons, so they didn't have to be so careful. The Italians' army is always the kind of troops that surrender as soon as they are forced. For such troops, they should rush forward to ensure that the incompetent Italians immediately raise their hands to surrender.

As the British tanks advanced, the German positions were "da, da, da," and "heavy machine gun shooting sounded. The Italians stationed on this level of defense were obviously more tenacious than those on the previous level of defense. They all resisted with their weapons in their hands. Many people threw grenades to try to stop the tank's advance. The bullet hit the outer armor of the tank and only a "ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding silences, surrendering to the British army ahead.

The tankers in the British tanks screamed in annoyance, very dissatisfied with the Italians' performance. They just thought it was strange, why did the Italians be so tenacious. They thought they were going to fight a fierce battle and could get a few medals. Unexpectedly, the Italians just kept their own will and surrendered as soon as they saw that something was wrong.

Although the British soldiers complained, they still had to accept the surrender of the Italians. At this time, the weather gradually became dark. Montgmarley ordered the cessation of the offensive and defended on the occupied battlefield to prevent the Germans from raiding at night.

During this day's battle, the British army spent 10 hours breaking through the two German defense lines. They captured countless Italian soldiers and achieved a major victory. Montgmarley sent a telegram to Churchill that night, saying that he had completely surrounded Jebibina. After the fierce battle, he had already broken through the two German defense lines and Rommel had become the turtle among the old men. He would definitely occupy Jebibina and capture Rommel alive and achieve the final victory.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on April 10, 1943, the British army launched an attack on the German positions again. This time, Montgmarley followed Lieutenant Colonel Neville's opinion and accelerated the attack rhythm. He broke through the two German lines of defense in succession and began to attack the core positions outside the city of Jebibina.

Neville stretched his head out of the tank warehouse. What appeared in front of Neville was the core battlefield of Jebibina City and the last line of defense in Jebibina City. After breaking through this line of defense, his troops would rush into Jebibina City and fight with the German army. Neville raised his telescope and carefully observed the battlefield ahead. This position was built around Jebibina's house. Neville discovered many fire points and anti-tank guns.

Neville put down the telescope, Neville realized that he was finally going to meet a real enemy. The defender on the front position was obviously the main force of the German army. However, Neville still felt very strange. This seemed not Rommel's combat style, and his own advancement was too easy. Could it be that there were some deadly killer cuts hidden on the front position?

"Lt. Col. Neville, General Montgmarley issued an order. In 15 minutes, artillery suppression will begin, and then your tank troops will start charging. The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion will cooperate with us to launch an attack." The correspondent conveyed the order he just received to Neville. Neville nodded, "Generate power to the tanks, so that they can be more energetic this time. What we have to face below is not the incompetent Italians, but the defense line stationed by the Germans. I am worried about what tricks Rommel will use to keep everyone on guard at all times."

15 minutes later, the British artillery again showed its power, and various artillery launched artillery bombardment again. The shells came to the German position again. The entire German position was shrouded in the roar of artillery shells. After three rounds of artillery shells, the artillery fire began to extend into the city of Jebibina. Countless houses were blown down by the shells, and gravel tiles kept flying with the air waves after the explosion.

As soon as the cannon stopped, hundreds of British tanks raised rolling dust and smoke and began to advance. Hundreds of British soldiers also scattered, following behind the tank, holding their guns in their hands, shouting and raising courage, and bent down to advance—
