Chapter 1028 The Arrival of the Marshal

To fight when it is time to fight, to retreat when it cannot be fought, and to surrender when it cannot be retreated is nothing to be ashamed of for the British army.

At first they fought bravely when they were attacked by the Iraqis, which was their soldier's mission, and now, when the German tank troops appeared, they couldn't beat the Germans.

They don't have any anti-tank weapons in their hands. Above their heads, they are being bombarded by German attack planes. When the German tank troops rush over, they will all be crushed into flesh, and there is no hope of winning.

At such times, they surrendered, and it was no shame.

Carl Maos' tank rushed to the British Air Force Base. At this time, the white flag was raised inside the Air Force Base. Carl Maos is no stranger to this scene. British troops will surrender.

"Our mission accomplished," Karl Mauss shouted to the Iraqi officers. "Hey, who are you supreme commanders here?"

Salahuddin ran over happily: "I am the commander of the third division and one of the main personnel of this uprising."

"Okay, you are responsible for detaining the British prisoners in this base, counting the various materials here, waiting to be handed over to Marshal Rommel." Karl Mauss shouted: "Now, we are going to set off."

Then go? Hearing Salahuddin's doubts, the German army charged and scared the British into surrender. Now, where are they going?

When he watched the German tank troops leave and set foot on the road again, he suddenly understood and couldn't help but patted his head, needless to say? Of course it's Baghdad!

Baghdad.

Rasheed was walking around on the ground. He sometimes raised his head and looked out the window, and sometimes he lowered his head and looked at the map spread on the table. At this time, Rasheed was quite restless.

The Iraqi army who went to besiege the Habania base has no good news of victory yet. Could it be that they can't even take down such a base?

And, what if the casualties were too great?

Rashid was in a hurry, and suddenly, the Air Force Commander Hamoud hurried over: "Good news, everyone, good news!"

Hamoud panted and said to several colleagues: "The German army has arrived. With their help, we captured the Habbania base. Now, the German tanks are advancing towards us in Baghdad!"

Rashid's face immediately stretched out, and the German tanks were about to come. Now, there is no need to worry about the British counterattack!

"Quick, let's go meet the German army together!" Rashid's face was full of smiles: "Marshal Rommel, he will definitely arrive soon."

What are the German tanks for? Baghdad has fallen into their own hands, and they only have one task, which is to build momentum, set up a battle, and welcome Marshal Rommel!

Of course, there are also security considerations. They want to protect the safety of Marshal Rommel. At the same time, they also have deterrence considerations. Show their force and warn those Iraqi-leaning elements in Iraq not to try to subvert the new Iraqi regime!

Although Rashid is the new prime minister of Iraq, he was appointed by the king, but now Rashid is very clear that whether he can sit in this position all the time depends entirely on the attitude of the Germans.

He behaved quite religiously, and ran all the way to the main road of the urban area of ​​Baghdad to welcome the arrival of the German army.

Soon, the German tanks came. At this time, it was already evening.

The night sky in Baghdad was clear, and the tanks rumbled up. Karl Maos stood on the tank and watched the crowd greeted below.

"Welcome our German friends," Rashid said. "We have everything ready. Let's sing and dance to celebrate the new birth of Iraq. You are our most respected guest."

Karl Maos looked at Rashid in amazement, the Prime Minister of Iraq, who was so servile at this time, and Karl Maos, as a soldier, did not have much etiquette: "Prime Minister Rashid, we need to be in Baghdad. Martial law to prevent any danger."

"Okay, we will help you to put martial law together." Rashid readily agreed. The troops of other countries are under martial law in the capital of their own country. This kind of behavior that humiliates sovereignty, Rashid does not hesitate. .

Soon, the German tank troops set up roadblocks on various streets in the city to maintain a high degree of vigilance, especially the main roads in the city were completely blocked.

In the second half of the night, the infantry division arrived, and the German infantrymen who stepped down from the infantry fighting vehicle guarded the place more closely.

When the sky was bright, finally, on the horizon, a convoy appeared.

As the supreme commander, Rommel cherishes his own life more, and he will not swagger in a luxury car here, even if it is a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz sedan, there is no possibility of surviving under the attack of the bomb.

He came here in a tank. This tank is bigger than the Panther 3 tank and looks more powerful. This kind of tank is quite rare in the Middle East.

Germany's new generation of tanks, the Tiger!

With the large-scale production of Tiger tanks in domestic factories in Germany, in addition to the replacement of local troops, overseas troops are also changing on a small scale, and Rommel's subordinates have also obtained dozens of tanks.

After all, the Panther 3 tank is enough to deal with any threat in the Middle East. Therefore, the Tiger tank of the African Legion is not necessary. Small-scale equipment is just to allow them to adapt in advance.

Rommel was riding in one of the command-type Tiger tanks.

Almost all officers at all levels of the tank force command battles in tanks. However, their tanks are not directly on the front line. Therefore, this type of command tank, and other tanks, are also different.

For example, the ammunition base of the tank will be greatly reduced, even only half of the ordinary model, so that enough space can be freed to install more radio stations, the gunner and the loader are also part-time, their main task is to operate Radio, to convey battle orders to subordinates.

There is also a saying that the command tank has no barrel, which is not appropriate. A tank without a barrel is easy to be found by the enemy and besieged. Therefore, the command tank is no different from an ordinary tank in appearance, even to confuse it. , Ordinary tanks are also equipped with the same two antennas as the command tank, one of which is useless, just to cover the command tank.

Rommel did not show up in the urban area of ​​Baghdad. The Tiger command tank, mixed with several other Tigers, drove to the Prime Minister's Office in Baghdad in one breath.
