The entire air battle lasted 38 minutes, during which the first group of the Fourth Air Division shot down 58 British planes, lost more than half of the British escort fighters, shot down 37 British bombers, and lost more than 20 fighters.

Such heavy losses were taken by surprise by the British Air Force, and they hurriedly let the remaining fighters entangle the German "BF109", and the bombers began to throw bombs indiscriminately, preparing to flee lightly.

How could the Luftwaffe let them escape, how could they escape at the speed of the bombers, Beck began to chase the enemy, but at this time Beck's "BF109" fuel gauge sounded an alarm, and only half of the fuel was gone, which means that Beck could fight for 5 minutes at most, and he had to evacuate.

The "BF109" had a pathetic range of 1,360 km, a pathetic airtime of 1 hour and 10 minutes, and a pathetic combat radius of 680 km.

Fortunately, the follow-up troops of the 4th Air Division arrived, and the 84 "BF109s" that arrived after them began to attack fiercely, and one British plane after another was shot down, or exploded in volley, or burned and rolled headlong to the ground......

General Montgomery, commander of Army Group "Nile", as soon as the battle began, General Montgomery asked his adjutant to turn on the headquarters radio and connect to the intercom with the Air Force,

The sound of the front-line air force conversation was clearly heard from the light explosion.

"Ahh Captain, I was hit ,......"

"Boom, Missy, quick, pull up, there's a German behind you."

"Hurry, hurry...... Pull up ...... Come, bumper ...... Missy."

"I got hit by the damn Germans, ahhh!!h It's on fire, ah! Mom!!! ……”

General Montgomery, who was still elated before, soon became more and more ugly as the tide of battle changed, and then gradually turned dead gray.

The tragic air battle, the terrible cries for help, the dying cries of his own subordinates, tore Montgomery's heart like a knife.

But Montgomery couldn't do anything to save his men, Montgomery had already sent most of his air force, and he could only be slaughtered before sending out the remaining planes.

Montgomery was silent, pacing alone to his office, and then closing the door tightly, but Montgomery finally couldn't hold back and cried loudly in his office.

This can also ease the mood a little, now Montgomery still commands a large number of troops, if Montgomery himself collapses first, then his subordinates are afraid that there will be no good end.

"Strong, strong...... The men of our British army are tough guys who can't be defeated. Montgomery encouraged himself over and over again in his heart.

However, this victory was not easy to come by, and the 1st group of the 4th Aviation Division also paid the price in blood. When Dahler was covering his comrades to attack the British plane, he was unfortunately hit by a British plane sneaking in from behind and was killed on the spot. More than 30 pilots of the 4th Afrika Korps Air Division sacrificed their precious lives.

Rommel's armored assault group, as soon as it entered the Egyptian border, was faced with countless outposts of the British army, and under normal circumstances, a squad, and anti-tank guns were absolutely non-existent.

There were a few small weapons, and the lonely outposts built by the British on the Egyptian border could not stop Rommel's tank assault group.

Rommel's armored assault group didn't even need to stop firing, and directly bombarded a few shells from a distance, and the lonely pillbox was directly bombarded by the tank guns.

The clever British saw the wrong thing, saw the overwhelming cluster of tanks, slipped out of the pillbox early, and then held it high in the sky, they could definitely save a small life.

Rommel had long been strict with his subordinates that it was strictly forbidden to shoot prisoners of war at any time, and if anyone dared to violate the ban, they would be brought to a military court, as long as the British surrendered, they did not have to worry about their own German shooting.

Rommel told his men, "My men would never do the kind of trick of escorting prisoners of war to the corner and playing in line to be shot, but my heroic and honorable German soldiers, don't you know that you will kill the enemy before they drop their weapons?" ”

Of course, as long as the enemy does not drop his weapon, he is not considered a prisoner of war, and he can be shot legally, because this is war, this is a battlefield, and no one has anything to say.

The Egyptian border is very suitable for tank assaults, and the speed of the road in the design of the four is 65 kilometers per hour, and the speed of 50 kilometers per hour on such large plains is still available.

The cone-shaped tank formation, the earth-shattering roar, and the huge body of the Type 4 tank ruthlessly crushed the ground, and the vibration from the ground was enough to shake people up and jump a few centimeters off the ground.

Type Four was still flying like a fly, raising its muzzle, galloping towards the Egyptian line, charging, and advancing towards victory.

The threat from the air did not need to worry about Rommel at all, and if Rommel had a tank on the ground that was destroyed by an airplane in the air, Rommel would not be able to spare Amini, the commander of the Air Force. The Afrika Korps did not set up an air force on its own, they were the patron saint of German tanks, and they could also be said to be nannies.

By the time Rommel arrived in front of the British line, an hour had passed since departure, and it was too dangerous to stop and refuel at this time.

If the British artillery had not been destroyed, then it would not have been a tragedy that the British suddenly shelled Rommel's Type 4 tank while it was refueling, and how could the famous general Rommel make such a low-level mistake.

"All pay attention, the speed is reduced to thirty, pay attention to the whole team, all the follow-up artillery is immediately deployed."

Rommel began to form ten kilometers from the British lines, while allowing the artillery that followed him to deploy.

Rommel still has the old rule of finding an anticline to stop his command tank, although Rommel has to be with his soldiers at all times, but as a commander, he must not be stupid to charge in person.

"Commander Luxembourg, it's up to you to perform."

"Commander-in-chief, take a look, your subordinates must beat the British to the bust."

Rommel delegated command to Luxembourg, the commander of the 7th Panzer Division, and Rommel would not meddle in the matter of the armored assault.

Rommel did not sleep with his head covered, but used the "Eye of God" to observe the British defensive line, find the British artillery position, and then let the artillery that had been deployed accurately destroy the British artillery position.

Luxembourg was greatly influenced by Rommel, he fought wars, and always led the charge personally, and Luxembourg began to give combat orders in his own tank after Rommel authorized it in Germany:

"The whole army maintains speed, a conical assault formation, and the British front is directly in front of the target." (To be continued.) )
