A "Boom! "A huge explosion came from outside, and the dirt on the roof kept falling, and the people in the room, as if they were used to it, turned a blind eye and studied the situation carefully.

"During this time, the Germans drove the Italian soldiers and launched a total of six attacks on us." Lieutenant General Norrie said.

When they retreated to Alexandria, the advantage of the soldiers was revealed, after all, they were numerous, and now that so many troops were gathered in Alexandria, they could even take turns to fight in the positions, and they could even fight a counter-charge or two, so that the Germans suffered.

Although the Germans surrounded the outside, Alexandria was a port, and at night, there would still be transport ships sneaking ashore, bringing them supplies and taking away the wounded soldiers, and in this way, they were still comfortable fighting here.

Everyone knows that sticking to it is useful for themselves, after all, they are waiting for backup.

However, the Germans did not seem to be in a hurry, and remained in a stalemate.

"Now, everyone, we have to think, why did the Germans do this?" In Montgomery's head, the tight string was telling him that it was not a good thing that the Germans were not attacking now!

Montgomery's words calmed down the crowd, who sometimes just didn't want to think about it.

"Could it be that the Germans will bypass our Alexandria and go straight to Cairo?" Finally, someone said it.

Since the interior was desert, the German army could only continue to capture ports along the way, so as to save the terrible long logistical supply.

The German army had a lot of mechanized troops and a greater need for logistics, and only by seizing Alexandria could they use it as a logistics base to continue to capture Cairo, the capital of Egypt.

This is the consensus of almost everyone, and they stick to Alexandria.

But what if this judgment is wrong?

In other words, the German army did not intend to use Alexandria as a springboard, but directly ran for hundreds of miles to take Cairo?

If the other day was just a hunch, the Germans have been constantly stopping here in the past few days, and it can already explain the problem.

"However, our reconnaissance plane has not found any special circumstances!" One general said: "On the road from Cairo to Alexandria, there were not a large number of German armored forces advancing. ”

"Our reconnaissance planes are only reconnaissance during the day, and the Germans, what if they act at night? If the Germans have been making a feint here for the past few days, then tonight, they may be able to pounce on Cairo. Montgomery continued: "Guys, all I know is that we were ready for a bloody battle, but for a few days our battle was not brutal, and that speaks for itself. ”

The impact of the German tank force is very strong, if the Germans pounce on it without fear of sacrifice, then Alexandria will have to go through a hard battle!

But what about now?

There is no hard fighting, every day of fighting, it is just a small fight, like now, even the artillery fire is not intensive!

If the Germans really wanted to attack the city, then those battleships at sea would have been launched and shelled at close range! It's not like they haven't done it before!

The abnormal performance of the past few days finally made Montgomery make this bold, terrible, and unacceptable inference.

The Germans are going to Cairo!

Montgomery's words made the faces of everyone present become serious, everyone knew that Cairo was an empty city now, and if the German armored forces were really heading for Cairo, then they would have almost no possibility of counterattacking.

Cairo, perhaps, will fall quickly.

In particular, His Majesty the King, the Prime Minister, and a number of high-ranking officials who have been transferred from England one after another, are in Cairo!

What to do, what to do?

"So, I suggest, we retreat immediately, we can't wait any longer!" Montgomery said: "Wait until tonight, after nightfall, we will leave Alexandria on a transport ship and return to Cairo!" ”

During the day, it was the Luftwaffe, and although the British occasionally took off reconnaissance planes, they were also sneaky, and once discovered by the Germans, they were often shot down.

Only at night, it is safe, and the same is true for transport ships, if it is daytime, I am afraid that more than half of the casualties will be paid, as long as there is a transport ship, the black pressure Stuka, will fly over.

Although the perimeter was surrounded by German and Italian troops, it was no problem to sneak out from the sea.

Hearing Montgomery's words, many people stopped talking.

Now, just by relying on an inference, without any tangible evidence, it is unreasonable to retreat!

However, since Montgomery came, at least the precarious situation has been saved, and almost every judgment of Montgomery has not been missed.

Therefore, the people below still believe in Montgomery, or, more importantly, that someone commands and someone takes responsibility, and that is enough.

If you want to retreat, retreat.

"Tonight, leave the South African 2nd Division to guard Alexandria, and the rest of the army will leave by boat!" Montgomery thought for a moment and continued to add: "The equipment can't be taken away, and it can be left to the South African Second Division." ”

You can't wait any longer, you have to retreat quickly, break through from the land, it's very difficult, it's more appropriate to walk on the water, some heavy equipment, such as tanks, may not be able to be taken away for the time being, at least people have to go first, no matter when, there are people, there are soldiers, there will be hope.

equipment, you can continue to get it from the United States!

Montgomery made the move to withdraw his troops just by relying on his own judgment and instinct, and his judgment was extremely accurate.

A village near Giza, west of Cairo.

The origin of any civilization must have a water source, and every civilization was born near the river.

In Egypt, for example, the ancient civilization developed along the Nile, and near the Nile, there were more and more villages, which was the main population cluster.

When the El Alamein line was breached, the British army retreated to Alexandria, which made Rommel feel extremely excited, Montgomery was simply stupid!

Almost without hesitation, Rommel made the decision to leave the Italian army, and a German infantry division, to besiege Alexandria and make an offensive appearance, while the main armored division, turned south, and went straight to Cairo, the capital of Egypt!
