Almost at the same time, the command of the Eighth Army in the Sinai Peninsula.

"Infantry! It turned out to be infantry! O'Connor looked annoyed, "He actually launched a counterattack with infantry!" Is there something wrong with him? It is not in accordance with the rules to throw infantry units in such a wilderness! ”

"He did, however, launch a counterattack with infantry, and has now penetrated our defenses and advanced in depth."

The chief of staff's words accentuated the chagrin on O'Connor's face.

"Yes, I know. This cunning yellow man has taken advantage of our mindset about his fighting style. And he also did a series of deception operations, you look at our reconnaissance report on these infantry units, Lin Youde actually let them dig trenches on the front line for so long, just to deceive us! That liar! ”

The staff officers looked at each other and could not say a word.

In fact, the entire Eighth Army Command, the veteran general in charge of logistics, raised objections to the current war situation, but even he gave up after O'Connor showed the "evidence". From this point of view, Lin Youde's deception of the enemy was completely successful, and he deceived everyone in the British Eighth Army.

Now the situation of the Eighth Army was very bad, and the main forces of the army were thrown into the attack on the eastern front of the Allied forces, and they obtained a huge salient in the southeast of the defensive line, in which more than 200,000 troops of several main divisions of the Eighth Army were concentrated. Now, the German infantry attack penetrated into the base of the salient, penetrating the British defenses and advancing in depth.

At the same time, German paratroopers also landed near Bill Caveert under the cover of the Allied Air Force, cutting off the road from the Canal Zone to Abu Ogra.

"Report," said a communications man, who entered the office and, without waiting for O'Connor to respond, exclaimed, "the returning reconnaissance plane saw that one of our convoys had been attacked by a large number of cavalry, and that the cavalry was now advancing along the road toward Bill Caffert. ”

"Cavalry?" O'Connor almost didn't scream, "Cavalry? The cavalry in the last war was already recognized as a class of troops that was behind the times, and now you actually told me that Lin Youde, who has always liked to use high-tech troops, used cavalry to raid our defense line? ”

"Uh, yes, sir." The communications officer was a little embarrassed, "That's what the report from the reconnaissance plane said that a large group of cavalry with automatic rifles and bazookas had attacked our convoy and was advancing towards Bill Carvert. ”

O'Connor bit his lip hard, the culture-shock look on his face still not faded.

"This Lin Youde really taught us a good lesson." He whispered, then shook his head vigorously, "Now that the matter has come to this, I will not dwell on the useless things, and now it is imperative not to let the Germans capture the ...... of Bill Carvert."

Before he could finish speaking, another signal soldier came in and reported loudly: "The garrison of Bill Carvert has sent a telegram asking for help, the German paratroopers have occupied the defensive positions on the outskirts of the town, and they are about to lose their hold." ”

Although Bill Caffert is called a "city", in fact, the entire Sinai Peninsula can really be called a "city" The small towns are all by the sea, most of the small towns are not large, and the buildings are only so small, and they are just a village in Europe, or the kind that is on the small side. Bill Cavert was one of them, and after the outlying positions were breached, the defenders could only hold on to the small houses, which could be lost at any time.

"Don't we have any troops nearby to support?"

"Yes, there is, but it will take at least two hours for the New Zealand troops to get there, and I don't know if the defenders will be able to hold on until then."

"It's okay, send them out, and our garrison in the Canal Zone, and let them advance towards Bill Caveat, and reopen the road anyway. In addition, the 55th Infantry Division, which was stationed in Arish, also immediately set out and advanced along the road from Arish to Abu Ogra to reopen the road. O'Connor paused, then ordered in a very different tone and momentum than he had just been, "We haven't lost the battle yet, guys." The Germans broke through with the infantry, and the cavalry, which had long been eliminated by the times, and we did not lose to anyone in infantry combat. Moreover, our striker is about to complete the outflanking of Lin Youde, as long as he rushes to the beach before the supplies are exhausted, Lin Youde will have no skills. ”

Once the British forces reached the sea, Lin Youde's forces were completely encircled on the Mediterranean coast of the northern Sinai Peninsula, and he had only two options: to break through to Jerusalem and to retreat from the sea. The British Navy would definitely not give Lin Youde a chance to retreat at sea, so breaking through to Jerusalem became Lin Youde's only option.

O'Connor was still quite confident in the defensive ability of the British army, as long as he could break through the enemy's last defense and complete the outflanking, then all the tricks played by Lin Youde would be useless.

O'Connor still had a chance, and he vowed to make that treacherous and cunning yellow man suffer.

"Sue sù striker, attack! Regardless of the cost of the attack, as long as we can break through the last German defenses and reach the seashore, we will win, so we will not hesitate to sacrifice as much as we want! ”

**

At the same moment, the Confederates finally defended the line.

On the 207th height, the Germans had already repelled the third round of the British attack today with the help of the tanks that drove into the tank bunkers and the supporting battle queen troops.

The desert around the highlands was littered with the wreckage of burning American-made vehicles, as well as the magic armor of the British warrior princess who fell among the wreckage.

The reason why it is "around" is because all the support points set up by the German army are omnidirectional defensive support points, which is the defense system summarized and perfected by the German army on the Eastern Front, and a series of non-connected omnidirectional defensive support points form a defensive line, once the enemy forces assault, the troops around the support points will fight and retreat, not entangled with the enemy, leaving the support points to continue to kill and injure the enemy.

The entire depth of the defense line was full of these support points, and soon the enemy would find that although he had advanced many kilometers, the follow-up troops were completely unable to keep up because of the storage of support points, and the supply could not proceed normally.

The enemy then had to besiege these support points and uproot them one by one, in the process the enemy would consume a lot of troops, and the deployment would be thrown into confusion and the attack would become weak. At this time, the German counterattack will begin, in which the blocks between the support points are recaptured, and the defensive line is again connected.

The British had never encountered such a defensive system, and their understanding of the fortification was still stuck in the last war, and as a result, they paid a huge number of casualties.

Correspondingly, the defending Germans also suffered heavy casualties, but most of the support points such as Heights 207 were still firmly in the hands of the Germans.
