Five hundred seventy-eight. Tiger Tank (4th Shift Monthly Pass)
The British army is still very flustered for now.
The stubborn resistance of the Egyptian mutinous soldiers greatly surprised them. More than thirty British troops were killed in the attack, more than fifty were wounded, and one tank was also lost.
And although the mutinous soldiers suffered far more casualties than the British, they had no intention of surrendering.
In particular, more and more Egyptians joined the ranks of assisting the Egyptian mutinous soldiers, which made the British feel great pressure.
General Montgomery gave a death order to Major General Kenmonsen, who was directing the suppression at the front, that within six hours, the mutiny must be successfully quelled.
It was a task that seemed a bit difficult at the moment, but General Kenmonsen, accustomed to obeying orders, did not hesitate too much and quickly threw more troops into the attack
At the same time, the mutinous soldiers were also under a lot of pressure.
The British had absolute superiority, and for every Englishman killed, the Egyptians had to pay three times or more. But at this point, the Egyptians' only option was to continue to resist to the end.
They knew very well what terrible end awaited them if the mutiny failed
Perhaps there is only one hope left now: the support of the Egyptian military leadership, led by General Khamlemu, but now that seems so far away
As night fell, the British offensive intensified.
Three tanks assaulted at the front, causing great distress to the mutinous soldiers. Several times the mutinous soldiers tried to blow up the tank. But the British, who had strengthened the protection of their tanks, did not give them too many opportunities, but instead lost a large number of their companions.
Colonel Tamusta was worried if it continued like this. They simply can't hold out much longer
But at this time, the most unexpected thing happened
Suddenly, some strange sounds were heard in the distance in the sky, and then three black dots flew closer
Airplanes - that's airplanes!
The British did not care at all, and in the skies over Cairo only one type of aircraft could appear:
Allied warplanes!
Some of the British even began to cheer loudly, and these damned air forces were finally dispatched, but there were also some officers who muttered in their hearts. Bombing here? Will that blow up your own people by mistake?
But no matter what, the support of the Air Force has finally arrived
However, it soon became clear to the British that something was wrong:
The target of those planes. It turned out to be them!
The plane swooped down viciously on the British position, and then, swooped down - strafing!
Hell, it wasn't an Allied plane. It's the enemy's fighter!
Dive strafing of these aircraft. The firepower was completely unexpected by the British. In the first strafing attempt alone, the three planes swept away a large area of the enemy
Then, the planes began to pull up, but soon the second round of strafing began
The British army, which had firmly gained the upper hand, fell into great chaos in an instant. And those Egyptian mutinous soldiers who were passively beaten were also a little confused, where did these reinforcements from the sky come from?
Could it be that General Khamlemu finally made a move? But General Khamlemu was also unable to mobilize the air force
It's not just support from the air. Support from the ground has also arrived!
A Tiger tank has appeared on the battlefield!
Damn it - Tiger pose!
The British were sure they were not mistaken—it was the Tiger tank!
The shells whizzed and fell, and then exploded in the light of the British. Then the machine guns on the tanks shouted wildly.
Lose your marbles! Lose your marbles! The Tiger appeared in Cairo, is it difficult for the moral army to enter Cairo? Such a thought suddenly rose in the hearts of many British officers.
Now, it was not their turn to think too much, and the rushing Tiger rushed in like a real tiger in steel armor, firing at the British with all the weapons on the tank.
What's even more terrifying is that this Tiger tank is just too terrible. A shell is fired, and it seems that there are several places that will cause explosions!
What kind of damn shell is this?
"Xiaoling, well done!" Wang Weiyi shouted loudly in the tank: "At 12 o'clock, up!" ”
"Receive instructions, 12 o'clock, bombardment-"
Like a ghost hidden in the darkness, the Purple Light Military Base began a horrific massacre against the British forces in Cairo under the command of the Rambler
Explosions rang out incessantly, and fires burned everywhere.
Cairo is groaning
None of this is the most terrible, the most terrible thing happened soon. A huge battle flag was raised over the Tiger tank, and this battle flag was all too familiar to all the British:
- Skeleton Banner!
O God, merciful God! Skeleton Battle Banner!
Coming, he still came, since he had already appeared in North Africa, then he would definitely not give up without Egypt.
However, no one expected him to come so quickly
- Baron Skeleton:
Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Brahm!
Although no one could see who the people in the tank really were, no one dared to raise the skeleton battle flag in the heart of the enemy, except for the skeleton baron, no one had such guts!
The British army began to waver
Yes, just because of a tank, a battle flag, the British were shaken!
Since the Skull Baron is here, what about the Germans? Could it be that the Germans had really entered Cairo? No one was able to give this answer to the British.
The power of the Tiger tank was so great that no Englishman who had ever been on the battlefield had ever seen it, and the idea that this was another new weapon for the Germans, who were constantly appearing on the battlefield!
The tiger style fought a bloody way among the British. Behind it, a truck began to increase its throttle and rush towards the barracks of Egyptian mutinous soldiers
Those mutinous soldiers were also completely dumbfounded, where did this amazing tank come from? So many British troops couldn't stop this tank
Colonel Tamursta was the first to react, when he saw the truck rushing towards him. Immediately there was a loud call: "Answer them, answer them!" ”
Although he didn't know who the person from the road was, the only thing he knew for sure was:
They are not enemies, they are friends!
Trucks stormed the barracks
"Xiao Ling, order the plane to evacuate, and the support of the British will be coming soon." Wang Weiyi gave the order and then drove his Tiger tank. In this way, he swaggered through the scattered and fleeing British troops
It's not that the British are incompetent, it's that the scene is so shocking.
Even the best of commanders, under the blow of today's situation. It's hard to react either
General Kenmonsen, who could not figure out what was going on, temporarily ordered the attack to be stopped, and he had to find out whether the Germans had entered Cairo or not
There is a more important point:
Is that guy in the tank a skeleton baron or not!
And the first person to see who the daring guy in the tank was, it was the commander of the "Egyptian Officer Corps", General Tamusta.
Out of the tank came a young man in a German military uniform. And jumped out of the truck. Also a young man who also wore a German military uniform.
"Colonel Tamusta?" The German officer, who appeared in the tank, asked majestically.
"Yes, you are?" Colonel Tamursta asked questioningly.
"Ernst. Bream, some people also call me Baron Alexon. ”
"Baron Skeleton?" Tamusta gasped, he couldn't believe that the person standing in front of him was the magical skeleton baron.
No, no, it can't be. Baron Skeleton was the Generalissimo of Germany. How could he have appeared in Cairo alone in a tank?
"The fortifications here are not strong enough, and one more machine gun can be arranged here," Wang Weiyi did not pay attention to Colonel Tamusta's surprise at all, but seemed to have taken over the command directly.
"Hey. Listen. Colonel Tamusta hurriedly said: "I don't care if you are really a skeleton baron or not, but the mutiny is a mutiny, and we have no intention of cooperating with the Germans"
"Right now, you can't make a choice." Wang Weiyi looked at him coldly, and then saw that there were more and more Egyptian mutinous soldiers surrounding him, and he said:
"Egypt is being oppressed, you have been ruthlessly stripped of everything that belongs to you by the British, and now it is time for these things to come to an end. I'm Ernst. Brem, I will command all the German forces in North Africa and bring you freedom! Long live Egyptian freedom! ”
As soon as his voice fell, the cry of "Long live the freedom of Egypt" resounded through the barracks.
Wang Weiyi used the simplest sentence to arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of all Egyptian mutinous soldiers. They don't dare to come to anyone, as long as they can help them, that's their friend.
"I, Ernst. Bream, as a German officer, has brought you the first gifts in order to show the support of all of Germany for you—"
Under Wang Weiyi's signal, Guo Yunfeng stood on the truck: "Weapon!" ”
A truckload full of weapons and ammunition instantly made the Egyptian mutinous soldiers burst into fanatical cheers!
Colonel Tamursta smiled wryly, hell baron, he brought the mutinous soldiers the most needed gifts when they needed them most, and by virtue of this alone, the mutinous soldiers were already on the side of the Germans!
Now, Colonel Tamusta had a vague sense that he was out of control of the situation.
Maybe this skeleton baron is the one who has the final say here. (To be continued......)
