At the very beginning of the "Second Battle of El Alamein". The so-called "Devil's Land" became a nightmare in the minds of the Commonwealth military.

The tanks, crowded together, completely became the prey of the Germans.

The most terrifying thing is that the Germans seemed to have known that the British tanks would be crowded here at this point in time, and they made all the preparations in advance.

If the Germans had hesitated, or had not been prepared, the tide of battle would have been completely different.

An hour! Despite the crowding, the British were able to get 500 tanks out of the "Devil's Land" in just an hour, so what would be the result?

The result would be that all 500 tanks of the British would be able to devote themselves to the war!

Wang Weiyi actually knew very well that in another period of history, the British did not expect that their tanks would be crowded to such a point in the minefield, and the Germans did not expect it. But the reactions of both sides have been very different. The British, with their rigor and calmness, quickly commanded the crowded tanks to get out of the predicament in the shortest possible time, while the Germans did not react to this and missed the best opportunity.

Now, however, everything has changed

The Germans opened their bloody mouths enough to devour everything, tearing apart the "reckless" British who broke into the minefield to their heart's content, from tanks to soldiers, without mercy.

The roar of the Germans completely engulfed everything around them, one by one, one by one, by British soldiers, one by one, British tanks. Wiped out in such a roar

The breath of death hangs over every place

The sound of explosions and machine guns are intertwined, forming the most magnificent battle music on the battlefield.

In just 20 minutes, the British lost more than eighty tanks. More than half of those sappers were killed. But that's just the beginning.

The Germans continued to carry out assaults in the air and on the ground, and the British casualties continued to increase

However, the British also kept their cool in such a passive situation. Their commander, Lieutenant General Connoore, ordered his tanks and soldiers to counterattack on the spot, and ordered those tanks that had not been damaged to evacuate the terrible place as soon as possible.

Crises can happen anytime and anywhere on the battlefield, and the key is to see how the commander can find a way to deal with it in the shortest possible time. Lieutenant General Connolley, who did not consult the General Command, succeeded in doing this.

Postwar. Lieutenant General Connoel is known as the "Tree of Life in the Land of Demons"!

In the face of mounting casualties, it was this "tree of life" that saved the lives of many Britons

The Germans quickly caught the British attempt to escape, and the attacks increased suddenly. The 21st Panzer Division, which had previously been fully supplied. Tracks roared across the ground, muzzles roared across the battlefield, and machine guns flew in the night sky with fiery snakes

Everybody's fighting, right now. The shame of previous defeats will be washed away with the blood of the enemy!

Everything - for - Germany!

4:50 a.m. The battle went to its worst.

The British had already lost more than one hundred and twenty of their tanks, and the casualties of the infantry were difficult to count.

Lieutenant General Connoll did everything he could, desperately directing the troops to make the hardest retreat, but on the way to retreat, they were still bombarded by the most frantic German aerial bombardment.

The losses are still increasing

At 4:55, a bomb exploded not far from the command vehicle of Lieutenant General Connore, and the brave lieutenant general was wounded. However, he did not let his subordinates tell anyone about the situation. Instead, after hastily bandaging, he continued to bravely and fearlessly devote himself to the command of the evacuation.

Such a spirit is undoubtedly worthy of admiration.

Although Zhilu Dao looks at the current situation. He has no power to return to the sky, but as long as there is still a slight possibility, Lieutenant General Connaught will save as many lives as possible even a soldier's life!

At that time, General Olgo of the 21st Panzer Division did not know about this situation, and the only thing he had to do was to resolutely complete the task assigned to him by Field Marshal Ernst and completely bury these British here!

The offense is still going on like crazy.

At this time, the British General Command was helpless about the situation in the "Devil's Land", and neither General Alexander nor General Montgomery could find a better way to solve it.

Now, the only thing they could count on was the calm and composure of the front-line commanders

In a telegram inquiring about the state of the front, Lieutenant General Connolly called back like this:

"We are retreating, the soldiers are not panicking, I will complete this retreat."

The telegram was intercepted as soon as possible and sent to Ernst. In the hands of Marshal Braim.

After reading this telegram, Wang Weiyi couldn't help but sigh: "Brave generals are not only in the German army. General Connolley's calmness deserves our respect. ”

Rommel did the same.

A fearless general who always has the respect of most people, even his enemies

５：１０。

The attack reached the last stage.

By this time, the British had lost more than one hundred and eighty tanks, but the rest, under the command of General Connolley, managed to evacuate from the Devil's Land.

The losses of the infantry were unimaginable, and the entire "Devil's Land" was completely stained red with blood

The shocking corpses, the rivers of blood, are telling all the people what terrible nightmares have befallen the British here

The German planes finally left the area after the last bombing of the attack

The British High Command chose the "Devil's Land", a place of death where the Germans were full of mines as their breakthrough point, trying to rely on the cooperation of sappers and tanks to catch the Germans by surprise, but they never thought that the Germans had already prepared and really turned this place into a place of death!

The wreckage of the tank was still burning, and the smell of burnt gas filled the air

The sky is already bright, and when you look at it, you will never forget that scene after scene.

The British army, which surged into the "land of demons", was defeated and retreated. Here they suffered the most reluctant to recall losses since the beginning of the war:

182 tanks were destroyed, 3,150 soldiers were killed, and almost none of the sappers made it back alive

The German 21st Afrika Korps Panzer Division took complete control of the area, successfully driving the British 30th Army back to their starting point.

This made a good start for the "Second Battle of El Alamein".

Orgo. Friedrich. Feng. Lieutenant General Bismarck looked around the battlefield with a pride that was difficult to put into words.

When Ernst. Alexon. Feng. After the return of Field Marshal Bream, all the German officers had no doubts about victory.

The Germans will continue to be invincible!

The 21st Panzer Division began to clean up the battlefield, and the wounded British soldiers were treated in time. Marshal Bream ordered.

God knows what role these POWs will play in the future

"General, you have to come and have a look."

The voices of his men interrupted General Olgo's musings, and as he descended to the middle of the battlefield, he saw his medical officer giving emergency treatment to a British officer.

This is actually a British lieutenant general!

"Can it be saved?" General Orgo asked in a deep voice.

"We tried our best, the injuries were serious."

General Olgo saw the British lieutenant general open his eyes at this time, so he leaned over: "Sir, can you hear me?" ”

"Yes, you can."

"It's me Orgo. Friedrich. Feng. Bismarck, commander of the 21st Panzer Division of the German Afrika Korps. ”

"Hello, I'm Lieutenant General Connolley of the British 30th Army."

"Sir, how did you become like this?"

"I wasn't very lucky, I was wounded by a bomb while directing the retreat. When most of the British soldiers had retreated, I was again machine-gunfired, but fortunately, my brave and loyal adjutant blocked most of the bullets for me."

"Really unlucky, sir. Rest assured, I'll do whatever it takes to save you. ”

"Xie Lu Xie, General Olgo, I don't think you are the same as the German officer I recognize."

"I'm Orgo. Friedrich. Feng. Bismarck. At the mention of the name, General Olgo said with some pride: "I am a descendant of Chancellor Bismarck, a nobleman. I can kill you on the battlefield, but I will never leave you alone when you are wounded. ”

"Hey, there's no aristocrats in Germany anymore." Lieutenant General Connolley couldn't help but laugh.

"No, but it can be said that there is." General Olgo said solemnly: "Nobility is in our hearts, we have been told from an early age what to do and what not to do. We know what is done by a gentleman and what is done by a rude and rude person. You can rest assured that the Wehrmacht officers and men are not the same as the fanatical SS officers. ”

"Is Baron Alexon still a nobleman?"

"Yes, he is the only one in Germany who continues to enjoy privileges and is a nobleman whom we have great respect." General Olgo nodded: "Now, your war is over, please recuperate with peace of mind, and when the war is really over, you will go back to the doctor in England, carry him to the rear field hospital, and be sure to cure the general." ”

After speaking, he straightened up: "Send a telegram to Field Marshal Ernst, we have driven out the British here and will continue to attack according to the pre-battle deployment." ”

Explosions were heard everywhere on the battlefield, and on October 23, 1942, the first battle of the "Second Battle of El Alamein" ended in a complete victory for the Germans! (To be continued......)
