Afrika Korps - Well supplied!

German soldiers - scrappy!

On October 24, 1942, the first tank battle since the beginning of the war broke out on the battlefield of Kalman in the "Second Battle of El Alamein".

General Woodrow, who commanded all the Commonwealth armies, was confident of victory at the beginning of the war, firmly believing that the Germans would soon run out of fuel and would lose the war, and that he would be the first general to defeat the Skeleton Baron.

However, he soon realized that he was wrong

The fierce fighting continued until late at night, and instead of running out of fuel and ammunition, the Germans launched counterattacks on all fronts!

Those damn intelligence officers

The intelligence service, which was once highly praised, has now become the object of the British curse

In the early morning of the 25th, the Germans significantly intensified their offensive. The Greek 1st Infantry Brigade began to collapse under the continuous blows of the Germans.

The commander, General Papasones, asked for a retreat several times, but was categorically rejected by General Woodrow.

As soon as the Greeks retreated, then the flanks of the entire front would be attacked by the Germans.

Until this point, General Woodrow still had some illusions in his heart:

The Germans may have reached the end of their power.

Hold on, hold on a little longer, and miracles will happen

But the miracle still didn't happen.

At 3 a.m., the most terrible thing happened:

A large number of German troops suddenly appeared on the left flank of the Allied forces.

That's Erwin. The 90th Light Panzer Division under the command of Rommel!

The real attack of the Germans began!

Rommel's troops launched an offensive against the unsuspecting 2nd Royal Artillery Regiment. The onslaught tore through the British defenses in an instant.

General Woodrow was shocked to learn that his flank had been raided, had the Germans never shown all their strength?

Could it be the skull baron opposite. Just using yourself as a bait?

No, it can't be!

No one would be so bold!

And after Rommel launched the attack, Wang Weiyi no longer made any reservations, and he put all the available forces in his hands into offensive operations!

Kalman Armageddon really begins!

Countless tanks and assault guns, spitting flames, swept across the battlefield.

Countless German soldiers erupted into terrifying roars. Piercing the heart of your enemies like lightning!

It was the Greeks who were the first to suffer.

Ever since their defeat in Turkey and their complete expulsion from Turkish soil, the Greeks have been looking for an opportunity all these years. Tell the whole world that the Greek army can win a beautiful victory.

And the African theater clearly presents them with a good opportunity

It's a pity that the battlefield is not something you can win if you want to

Under the sharp assault of the Germans, the already precarious Greek front could no longer hold on.

Everywhere there were Germans rushing in, and everywhere there was the sound of gunfire.

In the confusion, Papasones tried his best to fend off the Germans. While constantly reporting to General Woodrow on the terrible situation on the battlefield.

General Woodrow now has no time to figure out what exactly is going on on the battlefield. Where the hell did the Germans get so many supplies. In his haste, he remobilized the 133rd Infantry Brigade for reinforcements, and sternly demanded that Papasones must defend his position, even if there was only a small piece left

However, something even more unexpected happened

After completing the breakthrough of the Greek brigade, Wang Weiyi ordered his troops to forcibly open a breakthrough on the right side of the Greeks, and then led the German army to attack the British who came to reinforce them!

To be defeated, not annihilated!

The British, who were reinforced, really did not expect this scene in any case:

The Germans were capable of annihilating the Greeks. But he aimed the finger directly at himself!

The British troops, galloping for reinforcements, did not have time to stop their pace, but ran headlong into the steel torrent of the Germans

The sound of artillery tore apart the ranks of the British. Those brazen tanks are devouring human lives everywhere.

It's messed up, the battlefield is completely messed up

At the same time, Rommel, who had routed the 2nd Royal Artillery Regiment, quickly launched a surprise attack on the British 1st Panzer Division. The German 10th Panzer Division also participated in the offensive at the same time.

The biggest problem for the British now is that the entire line of defense has been torn apart, with the British and the French fighting separately, and the French and Greeks fighting separately.

At 3:30 a.m., Wang Weiyi put in the last card in his hand:

Dietrie. Feng. The 163rd Infantry Division under the command of General Kuhn!

This is one of the most elite units of the Afrika Korps, and they were once a trump card in the hands of General Manstein!

And now, they are on the battlefield of Kalman!

The general assault on the British began!

The A2 battlefield has completed the breakthrough, and the C6 battlefield has completed the breakthrough

The news of the German breakthrough in various battlefields continued to reach the ears of General Woodrow, and at this time, the British lieutenant general, who was once full of confidence and felt that the best chance to defeat the skeleton baron was in front of him, was completely confused.

He shouted for immediate reinforcements from High Command, but Generals Alexander and Montgomery were unable to provide him with any reinforcements in a short period of time

And the British High Command finally faintly sensed that there was a major problem with its intelligence system.

None of the "fighters" who had always been able to come up with the most accurate information to the British before the outbreak of the Great War was accurate.

What the hell is going on?

The situation on the battlefield is no longer for the British to think carefully, and Wang Weiyi has decided to end the battle before dark today!

This is where the main force of the British lies. Having defeated the Allied forces under the command of General Woodrow, the victory of the Second Battle of El Alamein was firmly in his hands

All German units had been thrown into the war.

Smoke billowed and artillery roared.

The Movement of War – It's On!

This is the most magnificent movement of the entire African war. And the one who composes this movement. It's Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Marshal Bream!

The overture of the movement begins with a series of pre-war intelligence and counterintelligence, and Wang Weiyi successfully holds the nose of the British.

The second act, which takes place in the Land of the Devil and the Kidney Ridge, is the preparation for the climax of the movement.

The defeat of the Italians on the 22nd and 33rd heights gradually brought the whole battle movement to a climax.

Then, the climax finally appeared:

Kalman Armageddon!

It was a battlefield ensemble under the personal command of Baron Alexon, to which thousands of German troops joined.

Tanks, machine guns, submachine guns are instruments in their hands.

And those listeners: the British, the French, the Greeks. But they never wanted them to hear such music before!

Now that the curtain has been opened, there is no possibility of being pulled up until the movement is finished

The soldiers of the two sides who were strangled together, and now the situation has produced a completely different scene.

The Allies were completely cut off into three parts. Forced to fight on their own. And the well-prepared German troops began to completely show their hideous fangs.

The French officers and men of the 2nd Free French Brigade had this feeling most keenly.

France had long been frightened by Germany. In the European battlefield, in just a few days, the French army, which was once known as the first in Europe. It was a shameful defeat to Germany.

When the Free French Army was reorganized. The French did not have much confidence, but de Gaulle did everything he could to re-energize them.

In the First Battle of El Alamein, the French performed relatively well, and in a certain position, in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the German army, the French actually held out for a whole day.

However, when their morale and confidence gradually returned, they unfortunately encountered the "Second Battle of El Alamein", which was a terrible tragedy for them

At the beginning of the battle at Kalman, the 2nd Free French Brigade was still dutifully fulfilling its tasks according to its deployment. But several defeats against the Germans, as well as the sudden arrival of the German counterattacks, made them feel a faint sense of malaise.

Their positions were stormed several times. Several times it almost collapsed, if it weren't for General Woodrow's timely reinforcements.

But now it's a different story

When the Germans pulled out the Allied lines, the 2nd Free French Brigade was forced to fight alone, which was the last thing the French wanted.

A large number of German tanks and soldiers calmly completed the breakthrough, and then launched a ferocious assault on the 2nd Free French Brigade.

The French positions were shaken on all fronts

At 4:00 a.m., General Piponse, who commanded the 2nd Free French Brigade, described his deplorable condition in a telegram to General Woodrow:

Many of the positions had fallen to the Germans, and my soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, and I no longer thought that victory was possible, so I asked for permission to surrender in order to ensure that my soldiers could return to their homeland after the war.

General Woodrow flatly rejected Pipondu's request for surrender and repeatedly demanded that the 2nd Free French Brigade hold on.

However, General Pipondu decided to refuse to carry out this order of Lieutenant General Woodrow.

One should not joke with the lives of one's own soldiers when one knows that it is impossible.

A new turning point in the Battle of Kalman has arrived:

At 4:20 a.m., Pipondou led the 2nd Free French Brigade to surrender!

Originally, it would take some time to defeat the French, but the sudden surrender of the French accelerated the pace of the German attack.

Not only did this free up more troops for the Germans, but a gap had been opened in the heart of the Allied forces!

This kind of unexpected situation on the battlefield cannot even be predicted by the best commander in advance! (To be continued......)
