Luxembourg also took his blue pencil and began to make a gesture:

"Yes, Commander, we are completely surrounded by the British, the total number of regular British troops is about twenty to thirty, and the Egyptian servant army is about that much.

Of course, it was impossible for the British to turn back all their forces to attack us, because they were attacking them with our troops in front of them, and at the same time their way back to Cairo was completely blocked by us. ”

Rommel nodded, and continued:

"Now there are two paths in front of Montgomery, the first option is to flee directly in the direction of Iraq, we are now preparing to attack Cairo, if Montgomery really does this, there is nothing we can do.

Montgomery's second option was to concentrate all the retreating forces and storm the ring defensive positions that Rommel had set up under the city of Cairo.

I hope Montgomery chooses the second method, although our armored assault group looks dangerous, but as long as we hold this ring defensive position, Montgomery will be almost invincible. ”

Luxembourg smiled and said:

"My marshal, I'm not Montgomery, I can't judge how he decides, I'm in charge of the war, and I will arrange for you to make up your mind!"

"Alright! No matter what Montgomery decides, we must first hold the ring defensive position, and your mission remains the same, lead two armored divisions to storm Cairo, and be sure to take the last British fortress in Egypt as soon as possible. ”

"My marshal, my subordinates will definitely live up to their mission."

……

The German Seventh Panzer Division, which had been attacking in the morning, had basically not stopped, racing more than 300 kilometers in 10 hours, and from the Egyptian border to Cairo for more than 300 kilometers, and in 10 hours it was more lightning than lightning, and the British troops in Africa were panicking for the German Seventh Panzer Division, and Hitler in the German hospital in Berlin was also in pain.

Hitler, who was lying in his hospital bed, suddenly returned to the light after receiving Rommel's briefing on the war in Africa.

Hitler, who was already paralyzed, could actually roar furiously, wasn't the German war situation going very well? Why did the great Führer rage, this is all the fault of Hitler's successor Rommel:

"You marshals and generals, look, look at it, what is Operation Blitzkrieg, the German 7th Panzer Division is Operation Blitzkrieg, look at what the rest of your Afrika Korps Wehrmacht is doing, are they snails?

Thirty to forty kilometers of advance from the attack now, and my brave and fearless 7th Panzer Division was already under the city of Cairo, and did they know that the 7th Panzer Division was cutting off the retreat of the British army for them, preventing them from entering the fortified cities, and avoiding brutal street fighting, which would have caused countless Imperial soldiers to shed bloodless sacrifices.

My marshals, my generals, are now in a very dangerous situation because of the sacrifices made by the German 7th Panzer Division for the sake of the whole situation, you see, in front of them is the fortified African capital Cairo, and to the south is the main force of the African "Nile Army".

To the east of them was an army of African servants, and to the north of them were the British colonial armies, and these enemies together were nearly six hundred thousand.

My marshals, my generals, do you know that our German 7th Panzer Division, for the sake of overall victory, is now in danger, they have dangerously cut off the enemy's retreat to Cairo, but they are also surrounded by a million enemy troops.

So for the sake of our heroic German 7th Panzer Division, for the sake of Germany, for the sake of the honor of your Wehrmacht, I command you, at all costs, to annihilate all enemies who dare to resist, like crushing bugs, crush them, and advance! To advance further, it was necessary to join the German 7th Panzer Division as soon as possible. ”

"Hey! Hitler. ”

The encirclement of the 7th Panzer Division under Cairo was definitely not the fault of the Afrika Korps unit, it was just Rommel's tactical arrangement.

The marshal officers in Hitler's ward hurriedly saluted, they did not dare to point out the mistakes in Hitler's speech, but everyone understood one thing in their hearts, Führer Hitler's consciousness was already confused.

When everyone left Hitler's hospital room, they began to talk about it:

"How can the Führer put the blame on our Wehrmacht? The complete Field Marshal Rommel of the Afrika Korps is in charge, and Marshal Rommel must have had his intentions in doing so! ”

"Look at how far the German 7th Panzer Division ran in ten hours, more than 300 kilometers, and they thought it was a racing race!"

"Oh! O my God! The 7th Panzer Division was too risky, and Montgomery was not a mediocre commander. ”

As soon as the colonel finished speaking, Keitel (Field Marshal) glared at the colonel fiercely, who is the commander of the German 7th Panzer Division now?

The famous Field Marshal Rommel, Hitler's designated successor, I don't know if the Wehrmacht colonel is an idiot or not, Keitel's glaring still worked, and the colonel also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly shut up.

In fact, the colonel was not bad, Rommel attacked too quickly, running non-stop for ten hours, breaking through the British defense line was completed in a very short time, and the other is the transport convoy composed of more than 3,000 trucks in Rommel's hands, and the strong logistics supply capacity ensures the continuity of the tank assault, and it can be said that Rommel's tactical arrangement is an upgraded version of the "blitzkrieg" -- "super blitzkrieg".

Chief of Staff of the Supreme High Command: William? Keitel (Marshal) hurriedly consulted with Field Marshal Bock:

"Marshal Bock, what do you think?"

"Marshal Keitel, you also know the Führer's illness, let's just listen to the Führer's words, we can't help the African campaign, everything can only rely on Rommel himself, but it's okay for us to discuss the war situation at this time."

The German field marshals, after witnessing that Hitler's consciousness was already a little confused, had unconsciously taken Hitler's words as wind in their ears, which was perhaps a good thing, which made it easier for Rommel to take power!

"Yes, let's talk about the African campaign."

Marshal Keitel and Prime Minister Bock smiled at each other, and then continued to talk:

"There are still 600,000 British troops and servant troops in Africa who are desperately resisting, and although they are no match for the German Afrika Korps, they have also delayed Rommel's attack.

Rommel had to keep the logistics channels open when attacking, which would also make Rommel send a large number of troops to maintain the lines of communication, and Rommel's assault tactics were a bit risky.

So I think we should follow the good tradition of the Wehrmacht - to attack steadily and never take unnecessary risks. (To be continued.) )
