Li Mo was not able to detect Montgomery's retreat in time, and did not pursue it in time, because Li Mo needed them to retreat to several strategic points to achieve the intention of dispersing the British forces.

The lessons of the past may have made Li Mo, who has always been cautious, more cautious and step-by-step. The German army has won two consecutive victories, causing huge losses to more than 800,000 British allied troops, and the British allied prisoners captured by Li Mo alone have reached more than 200,000.

The next day, just as Li Mo was preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue. God came out to Montgomery's aid. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily, rarely seen in the desert. The hard road in the desert suddenly turned into impassable mud, and Li Mo had to order to stop the pursuit. In this way, Montgomery, with the help of God, led his British army to escape from Li Mo's hands, saving his own life and the remnants of the British army.

After Alamein's victory, all the churches in England rang at the same time to celebrate Alamein's victory, on Hitler's orders. All of a sudden. Limer became a hero in the eyes of the Germans, he won a decisive victory for Germany, and his name spread throughout the world along with the news of the victory at the Battle of El Alamein.

On January 25, at the same time the official order of Limer's promotion to marshal arrived at the front, and at the same time he was awarded the knight of the Order of the Silver Oak Leaf with two swords, a great victory in the Battle of El Alamein, which had a historic role in World War II. It not only became a turning point in the war situation in North Africa, but also allowed the German army to seize the strategic initiative from then on, accelerating the pace of compromise in the Atlantic Alliance.

"After the Battle of El Alamein. We don't want to lose a single battle on the Eastern Front. Hitler was not only proud to say this. And he also called the battle of El Alamein "the key to fate".

In the following days, Li Mo quickly pursued the British coalition army. When the British army retreated to Cairo, there were more than 300,000 British troops left, and the rest were all in Li Mo's prisoner of war camp.

When Li Mo was pursuing, the British Allied forces without fresh water supplies generally took the initiative to look for the Germans to surrender and be in the desert. There is no water. It means death. Soon Li Mo was on the Cairo defensive line. The Cairo Line was a makeshift line that the British had hastily erected.

Even if the British army now has nearly 300,000 troops, how long can it hold out without supplies? The situation is not optimistic, and even if the United States can send a large army to North Africa, which is 20,000 kilometers away from its own territory, I am afraid that there will be no such time.

January 27, 1941. "Desert Tiger" Li Mo followed the orders of the German Führer Hitler. A fierce assault was launched on the remnants of the British troops stationed in Cairo. The British 8th Army Corps, led by British General Auchinleck, was losing ground on the outskirts.

The Germans were approaching, only 60 kilometers from Alexandria. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill could not sit still. He knew well in his heart that if the Germans broke through the Cairo line of defense and occupied the Suez Canal. Italian and German ships would have free access to the Red Sea, which would lead to control the South African front and infiltrate the Indian Ocean. In this way, the materials acquired by the British in the Eastern colonies could not reach the British mainland. Therefore, Churchill ordered Montgomery to defend the Cairo Line, but the British general, who was frightened by Limer, had lost his prestige in the army.

In desperation, Churchill decided to appoint a new commander of the British army in North Africa, hoping to boost morale. Despite the danger of being shot down by enemy planes, he personally flew to Cairo and immediately convened a high-level military council to relieve Auchinleck of command and ordered the highly successful General Goth to take over as commander of the 8th Army Corps.

Goth was ordered to rush to the North African front with great ambitions. Unfortunately, on the way to Cairo, Goth's plane was intercepted by enemy planes and crashed in the Mediterranean, killing people. Churchill had to choose a new commander who could compete with Limer, and after much deliberation, Churchill set his sights on Lieutenant General Montgomery, who had begun to emerge in World War I, and in this way, due to the unexpected death of Gort, Montgomery of the British Eighth Army was appointed commander-in-chief of the British forces in North Africa.

Before dawn on 5 February, a hopeful Montgomery arrived on the Cairo front, but the disorganized troops and low morale made him realize what a burden he was carrying. Montgomery wasn't discouraged, though. He was determined to first boost the morale of his troops. That night, he summoned senior officers and operational staff officers of the British Army to give a lecture:

"I don't like the atmosphere. It was an atmosphere of skepticism, an atmosphere of loss of confidence in defeating Li Mo...... I will not retreat. I will fight here. I intend to dedicate myself to El Alamein. After Montgomery's words spread, the pessimism of the British soldiers began to improve.

On February 6, 1941, Li Mo mobilized 1,000 tanks and launched a fierce attack on the British line of defense in Cairo. Although Montgomery expected that Lemmer would launch an attack here and made some preparations to meet the battle, the losses of the British army at El Alamein were too great, and although the morale was restored, the combat effectiveness of the British army was really not positive.

After the German tanks attacked, Montgomery organized the remaining more than 600 tanks to fight back desperately. An earth-shattering tank battle broke out immediately, and the German Leopard tank was simply a nightmare for British tanks, with a long 88-gun gun that could kill the British "Sherman" from a distance of 1,500 meters, and the British tanks were beaten into bonfires one after another.

Seeing that the enemy tanks were blown up one by one, the German soldiers in the trenches were full of confidence that Cairo was just around the corner. After a week of fierce fighting, the British suffered heavy casualties and had to begin to organize a retreat, which could be surrounded if they did not retreat.

Li Mo resolutely took a new combat action. On February 10, 1941, the Germans launched an offensive north from the open gap coast, all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. At this time, the Germans had only 900 tanks left, while the British had more than 80 tanks.

Montgomery no longer had the strength to fight with Li Mo, so he could only concentrate his limited forces in the north, trying to block the speed of the German assault so that the rest of the troops could retreat smoothly to Iraq.

While the British army was fully protective of the north, Li Mo launched an attack in the south. Montgomery was suddenly in a dilemma. Faced with the deteriorating situation on the battlefield, Montgomery decided to fight to the death. On 11 February, Montgomery concentrated his remaining tanks and armoured vehicles and launched a frantic counterattack against the Germans, triggering one of the most brutal battles in the Cairo Line. The clever Li Mo hurriedly transferred the Luftwaffe to help in the battle, inflicted heavy casualties on the British army, and repelled the British counterattack.

In order not to give Montgomery a chance to breathe, on February 14, Lymer organized and commanded more than 720 tanks to launch a fierce attack on the last anti-tank position of the British army, and after losing 114 tanks, the German army finally completely destroyed the last anti-tank position of the British army.
