"We're going to Suez by three o'clock in the afternoon." Major Von Wycombe sat in the compartment of his 247 heavy six-wheeled off-road armored vehicle, looking at a large-scale military map issued by the British Army Survey and Mapping Bureau.

"If at the current speed, time will be too late." Lieutenant Lieutenant Wagner sitting in the seat opposite the battalion commander said.

"After arriving in Suez, the camp will replenish some fuel and the next supply station will be 200 kilometers away." Major Wicom pointed to the northern end of the Gulf of Aqaba on the map.

"The British claim that they will prepare the fuel and food we need in Aqaba City, hoping that it will not be another pile of canned corned beef." The adjutant joked.

Germany seized a large number of British supplies on the French front. The third motorized reconnaissance battalion had a week, three days a day. They were seized British canned corned beef. This kind of canned food is actually okay. It is more authentic than Spam in the United States. It tastes a bit saltier and requires a lot of water after eating.

"I doubt it, Wagner, don't expect the British to come up with something good." Major Wicom replied with a sullen face.

"At least they sent us a good guide." Wagner raised his eyebrows.

"You mean the second lieutenant Hanks? I hope he won't lead the wrong way. There is not much time left for us by the command." Wicom raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

"Sir, contact the reconnaissance plane." The signal soldier sitting beside Wicom reported loudly.

"He is on the scheduled band." The signal soldier handed the microphone to the major.

"What is its callsign?" Wicom asked.

"Black Hawk, sir." The signal soldier turned on the switch of the external microphone.

"Blackhawk, I'm a fox." Wicom called with a microphone.

"Hello Fox, this is Blackhawk." The voice in the microphone was clear and loud.

"Report your current position, Blackhawk." Wicom asked aloud.

"I'm right behind you. I've seen you. The magnificent marching formation, the fox." The reconnaissance pilot replied.

Wicom looked out from the car window and looked back, and soon found a black spot hidden in the blue sky.

"I saw you too, Black Hawk, and I'm glad to have your support." Wicom replied loudly.

In this operation, the third motorcycle reconnaissance battalion played the spearhead of the African Army. The armored reconnaissance unit in the German battle sequence was plainly the light cavalry on wheels. The work undertaken by the German light cavalry units during World War I.

They often approached the enemy's defensive positions, searched for weak points on the enemy's defense line, and inspected the enemy's weapons and force deployment. At the same time, they are not just simple rangers. When the first-line troops of the German army urgently need the support of armored forces, these armored vehicles will also be temporarily used as light tanks (this is obviously a serious violation of the German armored soldiers combat regulations.), using limited armor Protection and vehicle-mounted automatic firepower cover the infantry's breakthrough of the enemy's defensive position.

Sometimes, depending on the mobility of the wheeled armored vehicles, they will make high-speed detours to the enemy's side and rear, monitor possible reinforcements, and pursue the remnants of the enemy who retreated from the defense line.

The work undertaken by the reconnaissance force is very complicated, and behind the aura of victory, they take great risks. Because it is often necessary to move out of a large force, the reconnaissance force will often be exposed to the enemy's superior strength alone, giving the enemy the possibility of ambushing and annihilating them.

Therefore, the equipment and firepower of the motorized reconnaissance force are usually stronger than the conventional motorized force. They and the paratroopers are similar in some respects. Both are always ready for siege.

There are three armored reconnaissance search companies in the establishment of the third motorized reconnaissance battalion, one of which is the company directly under the battalion. The battalion directly under the command of a command squad, a communication platoon and three armored reconnaissance platoons each consisting of six wheeled light armored vehicles.

The remaining two reconnaissance companies are similar to the direct company, but there is one more heavy armor platoon equipped with six eight-wheel heavy armored vehicles than the direct company. Each reconnaissance company is also equipped with a heavy combat supply platoon and a vehicle maintenance class.

The camp is equipped with a total of 76 various types of wheeled armored vehicles, as well as 27 military transport trucks, and 30 two-wheel and three-wheel motorcycles. Because of the march in their own control area, the third motorized reconnaissance battalion did not form a combat formation, but just moved along the road with a regular marching column. The mighty convoy stretched for one kilometer. Looking down in the air is indeed a spectacular pair. Picture.

In order to ensure the safety of the third battalion, the headquarters specially deployed a fi156 white stork reconnaissance aircraft to provide reconnaissance early warning for the third battalion in the air.

When he found his support object, the white stork lowered the nose and lowered the height. At a height of more than ten meters from the ground, the light reconnaissance aircraft swayed the wings and made a gorgeous pass over the team's head. The superb skills of the pilots brought cheers and applause from the German soldiers on the armored vehicles.

"I will investigate within ten kilometers of the convoy, and I will report to you immediately, fox." The pilot's call came from the microphone.

"The fox understands, good luck, Black Hawk." At the end of the call, Wicom passed the microphone to the communications soldier.

"It's such a showy guy." The major said to his adjutant, shaking his head.

"Looking at the painting of the plane, it should belong directly to the headquarters of the African Army." Wagner lowered his telescope.

The body of the white stork was painted with sand yellow and light brown camouflage, which is the standard paint of the African Air Force directly under the air force. Before the outbreak in Europe, in order to facilitate air-ground joint operations, the Luftwaffe assigned some light liaison and reconnaissance aircraft to various army units, mainly responsible for front-line reconnaissance, personnel transportation, artillery correction, and document transmission. The pilots still belonged to Air Force establishment.

The African Legion is of course equipped with some light reconnaissance aircraft, but the pilot is no longer affiliated with the Air Force, but the newly established Army Air Force. The pilot wears the rank of the army and wears the Army’s gray ground green eagle shield on his arm.

The convoy continued to advance at full speed along the road, and German officers and soldiers protruded from their armored vehicles, enjoying the exotic scenery of Egypt comfortably.

Many of these scouts came to Africa for the first time. The officers and soldiers were full of curiosity about this land. German soldiers have at least a junior high school education. Writing is the most common way for German officers and soldiers to spend time in the barracks. There are many people who have read the exaggerated and gorgeous adventure stories written by European writers. The protagonist's adventure destination is always full of psychedelic. The colors of Egypt. Pyramids, ancient tombs, mummies, the treasures of Solomon, and the curse of the Pharaoh, those mysterious legends have made many German youths dream. Now they finally stepped on this magical land. Although they went to fight, who can guarantee that they would not find something in the vast desert.

"Legion Command Communications, sir, is the Chief of Staff, General Hassei." The correspondent reported again.

"Major Hase?" Wicom took the microphone.

Major General William Hassell was the old partner of Admiral Quhillel. In the eighteenth army, Hasel was the chief of staff of Quhillel. When Kühler was transferred to the African Army, he did not forget the old friend. He applied to Xu Jun to transfer Hasay to continue as his army chief of staff.

William Hasse served as the chief of staff of the German Northern Command, the commander of the German Second Army in the history, and finally became the commander of the 17th Army. In May of four or five years, William Hasse was injured on the Eastern Front. He died in office the second month because of his injuries. But now his life path has changed, and he should not encounter that sad situation again.

"I'm Feng Weicomb." Wicom said with a microphone.

"I'm Major William Hassell, Major Wicom, what is your situation there now?" Because the communication distance was far away, the major general's voice was mixed with some noise.

"Everything went well, we are moving towards Suez as planned." Wicom reports.

"Very good, Major. However, there are some changes now. I now order you, the third motorized reconnaissance battalion will be stationed on the spot after arriving in Suez, waiting for the new command of the command to temporarily stop the next action." Hasay's tone was serious and powerful.

"Stop action, stay there?" Wicom repeated the command in surprise.

"This is the command of the Legion Command, Major." Hassai raised his tone.

"Understood, obey, Lord General. After arriving at Suez, the third motorized reconnaissance battalion was stationed on the spot, waiting for the command of the command." Wicom replied loudly.

"Relax, someone will contact you when you arrive at Suez, Major Wicom, that's all, I wish you all the best." After a click, there was only an electrostatic noise in the microphone.

"Pass the command from the headquarters to each company, Wagner." Wicom put the microphone down and gave the order to the adjutant.
