Chapter 957: The New Version of the Normandy Landings

While Mussolini was busy finding tasks for the royal family, the British-French-Australian coalition wasn't idle either.

Given the opportunity presented by Italian soldiers for the Allies to completely encircle Tunisia and Bizerte, the Allied North Africa joint operations command certainly wasn't going to let it slip.

On January 6, 1938, more than 300,000 British-French-Australian troops rushed to Bizerte, trying to block the German-Italian forces' retreat from the Tunisian region in a short time.

As for the prominent coastal strip of Tunisia, as long as they were encircled, they'd be hard pressed to escape.

The forces stationed in Bizerte originally consisted of less than 100,000 Italian soldiers.

After all, compared to Tunisia, Bizerte was not considered a strategic location. Additionally, due to its proximity to Tunisia, it naturally wouldn't have harbors and airports constructed.
