"Commander Montgomery! Oops! The German artillery cover was so fierce that our 1st Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry Division were about to be wiped out! What do we do now? Do you want to go over and support them? ”

Seeing that the tank brigade and other units of the First Army were about to be defeated by the powerful artillery fire of the German army, Jameard, the commander of the British 7th Armored Division, anxiously said to Montgomery, who was retreating with him.

"We have nothing to do but get out of here as quickly as possible, and let them talk to us quickly!"

"We must not rush to the rescue of them now, because if we do, it will be in vain to rescue us and make us fall into the encirclement of the German army!"

Montgomery shook his head and sighed slightly sadly.

"But are we just watching them die on the battlefield? And we still have more troops than these German troops! ”

Division Commander Jamid was still unwilling to give up hope of rescuing the 1st Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry Division, so he continued to speak in a fighting tone.

"Evacuate! The German planes are about to divert their attention to bomb us, and if we don't withdraw, we will be in trouble! ”

Montgomery still shook his head in disagreement.

At the same time, his eyes flickered, staring at the 1st Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry Division that were constantly bombing the 1st Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry Division in the distance, and his face was worried.

"This"

Seeing this, the division commander Jemid also stared at the German bomber group that was bombing his friendly troops indiscriminately with great concern, and was unwilling to be speechless.

However, Montgomery did not pay attention to his reaction, but urged his 30th Army, that is, the British 7th Armored Division, and the troops of the 1st Infantry Division and the 22nd Guards Brigade of South Africa, to withdraw immediately.

Behind them were the Polish Carpathian Brigade and the reserve South African 2nd Infantry Division, totaling six divisions and two brigades.

"Damn the Germans! Could it be that our 1st Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry Division were wiped out here? Damn! How can our aviation units not come and cover our troops! ”

Looking at the friendly troops who were being bombarded by the Germans, the division commander Jemid gritted his teeth very unwillingly and hated them.

It's just that no matter how much he hates the Germans now, the 1st Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry have also been largely covered by the German aviation units, the infantry tanks, and the artillery fire covering the slaughtered 7788.

"Don't give me half a step back when you die! Be sure to withstand the German attack! Our main force, the 30th Army, is almost safely evacuated! You have to hold on! ”

At this time, in the face of the increasing number of casualties among his own soldiers, Milton, the commander of the British 70th Infantry Division, also shouted loudly with pain.

"We also want to resist the German attack! But the German artillery cover and the bombing of the bomber group were too fierce! We've already killed and wounded most of our soldiers, and we're less than half of our troops! If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we will be wiped out here today! Milton Division Commander! ”

Ben Johnson, the commander of the British 70th Infantry Division, rushed over with a bruise and responded to the division commander Milton.

"Even if we want to be wiped out here, we will cover Montgomery and the 30th Army to get out of here! Didn't you see that we also had the Polish Carpathian Brigade and the reserve South African 2nd Infantry Division, a total of 6 divisions and two brigades, fighting desperately with the damned Germans? ”

"If we, as one of the main forces of the 13th Army, have been cowardly and fled like this, will the reputation of our 70th Infantry Division still be maintained? Do we still have the face to face our dead comrades? Will we still be able to go back and face the people of our British Empire? ”

It's just that the division commander Milton continued to stubbornly retort unrelentingly.

At the same time, he also picked up a Browning heavy machine gun in his hand, and together with other machine gunners, he fired wildly at the German troops in front of him.

At that moment, he seemed to want to vent all the grief and anger in his heart, as if he wanted to sweep away all the German troops who had killed his subordinates.

In the face of the division commander Milton, who had gradually fallen into a state of war madness, the regimental commander Ben Jonsson also quickly picked up the anti-tank gun in his hand and fired at a Leopard tank not far in front of him.

"Damn the Germans! I'm here with you desperately! ”

The regimental commander, Ben Jonsson, pressed the fire button of the anti-tank gun, and shouted loudly as he watched an anti-tank shell fire quickly into the body of the Leopard tank.

It's just that the shells of the 6-pounder anti-tank gun did not destroy the Leopard tank, but also killed the opponent's 75mm caliber cannon with one shot.

After the regimental commander Ben Jonssen was bombarded, the general attack of the 508th Heavy Panzer Division and the German 1st Airborne Division under the command of Mandolfer, as well as the Herman Goering Division and the 15th Panzer Division was menacing and formidable.

"Even if I die, I'm going to pull a few of you damned Germans to bury me!"

When the 1st Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry Division only had one infantry regiment left, the division commander Milton also gave up the Browning heavy machine gun that had been shot without bullets, and then picked up an M1 57mm anti-tank gun, and roared with all his might.

But before he could fire a shell, he was bombed by a German AR-234 jet bomber and buried in the ground beyond recognition.

When they heard of his death, the rest of the British troops were also defeated, either desperately fleeing or immediately surrendering with their guns raised.

So the battle, which lasted just over two hours, ended with the 1st Army Tank Brigade and the British 70th Infantry being almost completely annihilated.

Fortunately, however, Montgomery's 30th Army, which led one of the main forces, was safely evacuated, and the Polish Carpathian Brigade and the reserve South African Second Infantry Division, a total of 6 divisions and 2 brigades, and most of them retreated safely to the rear and joined Montgomery's 30th Army.

At this time, the aircraft reinforcements of the British and American aviation units arrived belatedly and arrived above them for cover.

In fact, these British and American air units did not want to arrive so late, because they were also sniped by a large number of German fighters on the way to and from here.

So after a terrible air battle with the German fighter group, they were able to detach some of their planes to support Montgomery's troops.

It's a pity that their reinforcements came too late, but even so, these British and American aviation units still carried out a local bombing counterattack against the German troops such as the 508th Heavy Armored Division of Mandolfer, which was still continuing the pursuit battle, and prevented them from continuing the pursuit.
