On November 14, 1942, the advancing German troops finally appeared outside Cairo.

The last battle for the British to defend Egypt began!

The Germans did not immediately attack Cairo, but began to send assault teams to reconnoiter the British defenses in Cairo. At the same time, they also began to actively contact the Egyptian rebels near Cairo.

Subsequently, Erwin. The main German forces under the command of Field Marshal Rommel were also about to reach Cairo, and they were already less than half a day away from here

Alexander and Montgomery decided to break the boat and fight the enemy here for the sake of the British Empire.

Although not too many people are optimistic about their future.

At 3 p.m. on the 14th, the Germans launched a tentative attack on Cairo, but were counterattacked by well-guarded Allied forces, and the attacking Germans retreated.

At 5 o'clock, the main forces commanded by Rommel arrived.

At this time, a large number of troops, including the German 90th, 15th, 21st, 10th, and 164th Infantry Divisions, two Italian Panzer Divisions, and 12 brigades of the Egyptian rebels, had gathered outside Cairo.

War is on the verge of breaking out.

At 5:30, Rommel received a message from Cairo from Ernst Brown. Marshal Bream's telegram, in which Marshal Ryernst told his good friend about the current state of chaos in the city of Cairo and instructed that the sooner the Germans attacked, the easier it would be to take Cairo.

At the same time, the Germans will most likely be assisted by the South Africans

Although Rommel did not know how Ernst did this, he was convinced of everything Ernst said.

These things are miracles for others. But for Ernst it was just a common thing.

At 8:00 on the night of the 14th, German artillery fire covered Cairo.

The Battle of Cairo broke out

The German artillery fire was prepared for a full hour, and the deafening sound of the cannon seemed to engulf Cairo completely.

It was a shocking scene.

The earth trembled. It seems to be telling of the coming change of dynasty here; The night sky, lit up by artillery fire, seems to be there to witness everything that is happening here

The tanks are already roaring impatiently, and they are waiting for the order to go at any moment.

Perhaps most anxious were the Egyptian rebels, who were desperate to storm Cairo and drive all the British out of the city.

However, the defensive line built by the British was not so easy to break.

Bernard. General Montgomery commanded the battle at the forefront, while General Alexander continued to intensify the strangulation of the rioters in the city.

They did not panic in any way because of the arrival of the German troops.

Meantime. The Royal Navy, anchored in the Suez Canal, also gave the British the fullest artillery support.

At least so far, Cairo looks like it will be difficult to capture

In Rommel's subsequent charges. The Allies stubbornly repelled the German onslaught and defended their positions to the death.

In the skies, German and British planes were strangling for their lives.

Everyone is doing everything in their power for this war. Their eyes are red, and their blood is hot.

They will give everything they have to this battlefield

At the same time as the Battle of Cairo was going on. In the city. The British are also working hard for any possible failure. British intelligence, in particular, has prepared for the worst.

Even if you fail, leave the seeds of the British in Cairo!

And to do this, it is necessary to rely on the presence of hidden spies. So that even if the Germans get Egypt, they will not be able to live in peace for a day. And in order to achieve this, a British warship quietly brought in a large number of spies from all over the place. Some of them are from the British mainland, and some have lived in Cairo.

For example, after spending half a year in Cairo, even his girlfriend is still in Kandnin in Cairo. Captain Gilbert.

Similarly, the German intelligence services in Cairo began to become unusually active. They know the truth. The Germans were about to enter Cairo, and they could finally live in such a dark life.

Even. After the German attack on Cairo began, the activities of German intelligence organizations turned out to be semi-open. They are constantly sending spies to spy on intelligence, and they are constantly recruiting locals to work for them.

They also had a very important mission: to try to capture more British spies who were about to lurk, and to pave the way for the future German occupation of Cairo

A sturdy man turned into the street from a secluded alley. He was dressed in a brown tweed coat, with a mask over his face, and a bulky suitcase in his hand. He hurried forward, looking back from time to time to see if he was being watched. This man was none other than the British intelligence organization's first sleeper agent, Candnin. Captain Gilbert.

Explosions continued to sound all over Cairo, but this did not affect Captain Gilbert in any way. He knew that it was his army that was fighting the enemy.

At this moment, a group of British patrols approached, loaded with guns and heavy leather boots pounding on the old streets. They walked past Gilbert with their heads held high, but Gilbert could not reveal his identity to his own people

Gilbert rubbed shoulders with the patrolmen, turned into a quiet alley, and came to the door of a small fuchsia two-story building. When he was sure he wasn't being followed, he raised his hand and rang the doorbell. After a while, a young girl with a beautiful face and a gorgeous dress opened the door. She is Joyna, Gilbert's girlfriend whom she hasn't seen in days. Joyna was surprised and delighted to see that it was Gilbert, and threw herself out of her arms to hug him. Gilbert quietly waved his hand, lifted the box, and in a flash entered the door, locked it with his backhand, and snuggled with her into the house.

However, what Gilbert didn't expect was that just as he closed the gate, a person suddenly came out from behind the street lamp not far from the gate. The man hurried to the small building, wrote down the house number, and quietly left

Soon, the man came to the office of Major Wattel, the head of the German secret intelligence service, and he said to Watel: "Dear Major, I can help you capture a British spy, but I need money, and a lot of money. ”

Watel looked at the obscene-looking Egyptian in front of him, and immediately felt a sense of disgust in his heart. He didn't believe the Egyptian's words at all, thinking that the Egyptian must have come to cheat money, so he casually asked, "Is there anything you can do?" ”

"I found a boat coming from London, and the people who came down were carrying a big suitcase with a radio station in it." The informant replied with a mysterious expression.

When Wattle heard Harry, he laughed: "Do you really think that the British are as stupid as you say, and they still use fixed-style boxes to install radio stations?" ”

Seeing that Wattle didn't believe him, the whistleblower patted his chest and vouched, saying that as long as Wattle was willing to spend money, he could help them catch someone who interested them very much. Even so, Major Wattle was not convinced, and told him to leave quickly, not to waste his time. When the informant heard this, he immediately took out a dirty little notebook from his pocket, shook it in front of Watel, and said, "Aren't you looking for those British spies who have infiltrated Cairo?" I just found one. I know where he is, and the address is right there. If you let him slip away too late, you will consider yourself unlucky. ”

Wattel was skeptical at first, but then thought that the Germans were attacking Cairo, but no progress had been made in detecting the British hidden spies, and his superiors had expressed dissatisfaction several times. Wattle decided that he might as well take a look at it first.

So, Wattle personally led a team of secret agents and followed the whistleblower to the place and slowly drove to the two-story building deep in the alley. Sure enough, as soon as he entered that range, Major Wattle smelled his prey like a hound, a spy with the characteristic acumen.

In order not to alarm the sender, Major Wattle ordered the car to stop 200 meters from the target, and then led secret agents to quickly surround the building. Wattle rang the doorbell with his own hands.

In a curtained room on the east end of the second floor, Candenin. Captain Gilbert had already sent out the last set of codes, and he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he took a cup of coffee from his girlfriend Joyna, put it on the table, and then hugged his girlfriend Joyna tightly in his arms.

Gilbert was a captain in the Egyptian Army, and during the Dunkirk retreat, he also came to England with the Anglo-French forces, and was immediately recruited by the Special Operations Committee and trained as an espionage.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Germans, I went to my girlfriend's house this afternoon after a half-year absence.

Captain Gilbert thought that his actions were very secretive and would not be discovered, but he thought that the hapless big box had betrayed him, which was also an oversight of British intelligence. This special box for the radio station is quite common in London, but it becomes very conspicuous in Cairo. As soon as Gilbert returned to Cairo, he was targeted by the whistleblower who wanted to make a fortune.

The ringing of a doorbell shatters Gilbert and Joyna's haunting dreams. He pushed his girlfriend away as if he had been electrocuted, walked to the window facing the street, lifted the corner of the curtain and peeked out. Gilbert's face suddenly turned pale with a "brush".

He saw those secret agents, but the worst thing was that he couldn't get help from the British soldiers!

When he returned to Cairo, it was already doomed, and everything had to be on his own. No one could help him, especially when the situation was so critical.

Now it is those German agents who are unscrupulous in Cairo! (To be continued......)
