When he attacked, he cried and lost his face, and he was so nervous that he forgot to smile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info now looks like it's about to collapse, but instead puts on a smiling face?

Isn't this Rommel driven crazy because of excessive frustration? Lieutenant General Alfred couldn't believe his eyes.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered the word he had just heard, which Rommel had been muttering all the time - counterattack!

Could it be that he was not talking about his own counterattack, but looking forward to the counterattack of the British?

Lieutenant General Alfred, who realized this, suddenly found that he couldn't understand Rommel in front of him.

Rommel climbed into the car, and then glanced at Lieutenant General Alfred, who had just arrived: "I'm sorry, I originally made this plan alone, and you just took office, so I didn't inform you." ”

His car started suddenly, and the improvised headquarters around him had already been cleaned up: "The frontal attack cluster is just a feint, and our main task now is to use the remaining fuel to go back to Matru!" ”

Matru's floating dock has been put into use today, and if you retreat back to Matru overnight, you can get supplies.

"Could it be that we have gone to such great lengths to put on a play in front of the British?" Lieutenant General Alfred asked depressedly.

"Of course, this is our lure plan, and if we don't really arrange a rout, I guess the British side will not be easily fooled." Rommel pointed to the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance.

The counterattack of the British army came as Rommel had hoped, and even if General Cunningham did not counterattack, Rommel had to suspend the attack after a few more minutes.

Because the ammunition and fuel they had brought with them were no longer enough to continue the offensive - unless Rommel was really insane.

"With more than 100 soldiers, and 20 tanks, for a British counterattack that doesn't know when, you ......" Lieutenant General Alfred wanted to say to Rommel, you are crazy.

But looking at the embarrassing scene of the retreat of the Afrika Korps in front of him, and the really destroyed tanks, he found that the scene in front of him was really too realistic.

It has to be said that this was a real attack, and no one could see the flaws except for Rommel and others who knew that the attacking troops were not going to really attack.

If it were him to command the British army, Bacheng would also have to fight back at this time, after all, this scene is so tempting, even if it is a bait, it is worth taking a risk!

Sure enough, just as the German army began to retreat in a panic, the British army fought its way out of its own line, and a tank unit struck in the direction where Rommel was, and the scene looked very dangerous.

It's just that Rommel has already gotten into the car, and everyone is ready to retreat, so when the other side attacked, they also drove the car to retreat, and they were not shortened.

The entire El Alamein area was covered with retreating German soldiers, and it was impossible to see what the opposing side's lineup had become.

In fact, the main reason for this result was that Rommel arranged for more than 100 trucks to be tied to the back of the trucks.

The branches, dragged in such a way that they caused a blow of sand that was more devastating than smoke bombs, making it impossible to see from a distance that most of the German retreat was organized.

Cunningham looked at the huge smoke and dust rising in the distance, as well as the retreating German troops, and hesitated for a moment whether to immediately switch to an all-out counterattack.

He was tasked with guarding Alexander, and the problem had been weighing on him like a mountain, taking him breathless.

Under these circumstances, Cunningham wondered whether he should allow his troops to risk another counterattack like Operation Compass.

The mere crushing of the Germans at El Alamein was not a big victory, and although he held El Alamein, he did not regain any of the lost ground.

After hesitating for a few seconds, his eyes fell on the battlefield, the wreckage of a smoking German tank.

Glancing at the burning tank and the smoke gushing from inside the tank's armor, Cunningham finally made up his mind to launch an all-out counterattack.

"Let the 7th Armored Division take a detour along the south and the 1st Infantry Division of South Africa attack along the road!" He gave the order for a full-scale attack.

Then the commander of the Nile Army Group looked at the backbone of his strength, the commander of the 6th Australian Infantry Division: "Your troops will also immediately switch to the counteroffensive, hand over this place to the new Egyptian 101st Division, and then follow up!" ”

This was already the most powerful offensive force he could draw up, and in Cunningham's opinion, even if the Germans held on to Matru, he would have enough troops to fight the fortification.

By retaking Matrouh, he would have forced the Germans to retreat to Bardi, which would be a nominal recovery of all of Egypt.

In this way, he also gave an account to Prime Minister Churchill to some extent. In addition, the recapture of Matroux also expanded the depth of Alexandria's front for the British.

Switching from defense to counterattack, the British attacking forces were noticeably half a beat slower. Not only because these units were not very elite workhorses, but also because the British army did not have many vehicles.

The failure of Operation Compass caused Britain to lose not only personnel, but also a large number of vehicles. The vehicles are now in Rommel's possession and are used to transport from Bairdi to Matru.

Because of the shortage of trucks, Britain actually did not have many troops in battle, and more than 100 tanks of the 7th Armored Division were the main force in the pursuit at this time.

In addition, the Australian 6th Infantry Division had a lot of trucks coming with them, so they quickly overtook the South African 1st Infantry Division, which had fewer trucks.

So, when the British army recaptured Deba, the whole battlefield took a different shape.

The German army did not retreat quickly, and they had only just left by the time the British entered Deba. The British troops who followed behind were all out of order.

Directly south of the coastal road was the 7th Panzer Division, ready to outflank the Germans at any moment, with most of Australia's 6th Infantry Division at the top of the road, and behind it was a part of the South African 1st Infantry Division's trucking units.

It was followed by a small number of trucks from the Egyptian 101st Division, followed by the infantry of the South African 1st Infantry Division, and then behind the infantry of the Australian 6th Infantry Division......

The infantry of the Egyptian 101st Division, at the rear, was still in the vicinity of El Alamein.

From the beginning of a pursuit to the present, they have rarely been able to capture German prisoners, except for the occasional roadside finding trucks and a small number of tents and other military supplies abandoned by the Germans due to malfunctions.

Of course, there were also some ammunition that the infantry had discarded on the way, which proved that the German army was demoralized and had fled on its own.

After calculating the discarded ammunition, Cunningham was convinced that the German army had less than a third of the ammunition on its head at this point.

Without oil and ammunition, even with food and fortifications, it would have been impossible for the Germans to hold on to Matroux, which was the main motivation for Cunningham to persist in the pursuit he is still pursuing.

"It looks like the Germans have a really good supply of trucks." Sitting in his car and watching thousands of troops wind their way down the road, Cunningham spoke.

He had to change his battle plan in his mind, turning the capture of Matru in one fell swoop by following the German rout into a battle against Matru.

At this rate of pursuit, it is estimated that he will kill Matroux in the second half of the night, and the enemy will have at least five hours of rest, and then the British attack will have to wait until dawn.

If you really count it, the Germans can even get a good night's sleep and then think about whether to defend the damn place of Matru.

"If it weren't for the last fiasco and the loss of so many trucks and tanks, we wouldn't be in such a mess now." The officer, who was sitting in the front of the car, spoke to Cunningham and comforted.

Cunningham nodded and did not speak. As long as the German army dared to stop at Matru, he was sure to bite the opponent's tail again.

The Afrika Korps, which had consumed a lot of fuel and lost a lot of ammunition, could not organize an effective defense in Matru, and it would only lose even more ugly if it barely fought a battle.

Therefore, Cunningham calculated for a long time in the car, and also thought that Germany had no possibility of turning the tables this time: defending Matroux would be surrounded and annihilated by the British army; Not defending Matroux is equivalent to a victory for the British army in vain.

Cunningham, who was in a car hurrying, even thought about how humble a reporter could be when interviewing him, and he could use a mocking face to the camera to evaluate his opponent: "He is a respectable opponent, but unfortunately he made a mistake in the end." ”

As if he had won a game of chess, he would have been pertinent in his assessment: "His mistake has lost the opportunity to continue the attack on Egypt, and the crisis in Alexandria has been lifted!" ”

Perhaps, the Führer of the other side will recall Rommel from Africa, right? Originally, the time was just right when the counterattack compass was in operation, and he was a good commander, but it's a pity.

At the same time, while Cunningham was preoccupied with what victory would look like, a few kilometers east of Matrou, the retreating German vanguard halted in front of a field of camouflaged supplies.

There are mountains of ammunition here, and there is just as much fuel here. The transports that accompanied the arrival of the Italian fleet unloaded a large number of supplies on the floating dock in one go.

Rommel was relieved to get the news that the supplies had arrived on time. He feared that the last distraction of the late arrival of supplies was gone, and everything was exactly as planned.
