Five hundred and eighty-three. Breakthrough
The earth-shaking changes in Cairo gave the mutineers the best chance to survive.
All the time, Egyptians were sending messages to them and attacking their compatriots who were besieging the rebels.
They are not isolated.
And with the arrival of General Khamlemu, the morale of the rebel army was high.
What gives them even more confidence is the Tiger tank driven by "Baron Andrew":
- Demon Tank!
When daylight came, the British launched several attacks in a row, but all of them were repulsed by the united rebels.
Until new British reinforcements arrived, the rebels were safe for the time being.
But Wang Weiyi was still full of worries, and although it seemed that the rebel camp was safe and sound, he knew very well that a real British attack was coming.
Once that time comes, the British offensive with all their strength is definitely not something that these rebels can stop.
According to Rommel's information, despite the Afrika Korps offensive, according to the most optimistic estimates, it would be three days before Germany reached Cairo at the earliest.
Three days? The rebel army here simply could not hold out for three days!
In the formation of the army in response to the uprising of General Khamlemu, the offensive was also quickly contained by the British, who turned from offensive to defensive, and were also under pressure from the British army.
And those insurgents who advanced towards Cairo were also intercepted by an armored division of the Australian Army, and it was difficult for them to break through to Cairo.
Now all hope was placed on the Germans
"We cannot continue to hold out here for long until the arrival of the Germans" in an emergency meeting that was convened. Wang Weiyi told the Egyptian officers very frankly: "I have observed the deployment of the British army, and within two hours at the latest, the British will use artillery and armored vehicles. The craziest attack on us, according to estimates, we may not be able to hold out for long"
"So what to do?" General Khamlemu frowned.
Before Wang Weiyi could answer, Colonel Tamusta had already said loudly: "All of us are ready to sacrifice for the free Egypt!" ”
"Colonel Tamusta, now we don't want sacrifice, but how to survive." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "Death is the easiest thing, but it is all over Egypt. But we will fail because of our failures, is this what you want to see? ”
Colonel Tamursta fell silent and said no more.
"Find a way to break through." Wang Weiyi said what he was thinking about: "I am ready to launch a breakthrough operation in advance before the British attack. Hit the British by surprise. Once the breakthrough was complete, all the soldiers immediately dispersed and engaged in street battles with the enemy in Cairo in order to win the arrival of the German army. Everything will be fine at that point."
Colonel Tamursta smiled coldly at the Germans. Again Germans
His expression completely fell into Wang Weiyi's eyes, but now he didn't have time to worry about him for the time being: "General Khamlemu, what do you think?" ”
"That's the best way to do it right now." General Kannele Mu nodded: "Then do as Mr. Baron says." ”
Seeing that General Khamlemu was also on the side of the Germans, Colonel Tamursta said: "General, allow me to keep you safe. ”
"No, I'm responsible for the general's safety." Wang Weiyi interrupted him.
"You?" Colonel Tamusta looked at him and said coldly: "I don't trust the Germans. ”
"Colonel, stop arguing. I would like to believe in the Baron's efforts for Egypt. "General Khamlemu is completely supportive.
Colonel Tamursta didn't dare to argue about anything, the only thing that puzzled him was why the general trusted the Germans so much
The breakout of the rebels was soon unfolded. Before the British were fully assembled.
It was still the feared demon tank that opened the way, and all the rebel armies threw themselves into the big breakout.
The reappearance of ghostly "German planes" was the most frustrating thing for the British, who never knew where the bases of these mysterious German planes that appeared and disappeared mysteriously were
And General Kenmonson, who received the death order, also gave the death order to his soldiers:
The Egyptian breakthrough must be stopped!
The British soldiers showed their tenacity, holding their positions firmly, doing everything in their power to hold back the insurgents' breakthrough. In front of the position, the corpses of countless Egyptians were lying there in all directions
One attack failed, and then a new one began
These frenzied Egyptian soldiers, completely ignoring casualties, launched a wave of attacks.
And several German planes also desperately dropped bombs and strafed the British positions, and Cairo became a huge battlefield
That demon tank went on a rampage and was fearless.
If the British were not afraid of the mutinous soldiers, they were always afraid of the demon tank flying the skeletal battle flag.
They always have one thought in their hearts:
This tank is not something that can be stopped by human strength!
Gradually, in the southwest, the defensive positions of the British army were somewhat shaken by the repeated onslaught of the rebels.
Wang Weiyi was keenly aware of this, and under his command, the Egyptians were assembled and launched an assault on the place with complete disregard for life.
After all, Cairo was not a real battlefield, and it was difficult for the British to fully reflect their combat qualities here, while the Egyptian numerical superiority was brought into full play.
After paying a heavy price of almost a thousand casualties, a gap was punched.
As a result, countless rebel armies rushed out of this gap
Wang Weiyi also didn't waste this excellent opportunity, and the demon tank roared out!
After about half of the soldiers had been rushed out, the British completely closed the gap, and the rest of the insurgents lost their best chance.
They can't open the gap a second time
The tragedy in Cairo is also happening on this day
Without the encouragement of the Germans, the leadership of General Khamlemu, and the command of the Egyptian officer corps, the remaining rebel army was completely passively beaten.
General Kenmonsen gave the order for a general assault, and a massacre broke out here
Countless rebels fell to the bullets of the British, and one by one they died, and even the sky of Egypt turned bloody.
Strangely, however, these Egyptians did not regret it at all, as if death was the highest honor for them
Either way, it was one of the most unpleasant days in Egyptian history
Wang Weiyi and Guo Yunfeng rushed out with General Khamlemu. When the tank slowly stopped in no one's place, General Khamlemu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of fear.
He really didn't expect them to succeed.
At one point, under the dense rain of bullets, he thought that he would die like this tank, but they still did it
The German planes that had mysteriously appeared had mysteriously disappeared again, and no one knew where they came from or where they flew
"Are we safe?" Emerging from the tank, General Khamlemu looked around.
"It's safe for now." Wang Weiyi sorted out the military uniform on his body: "But I think the British will arrive soon." Although the tank is powerful, the target is also large. Four knives, go to him and dispose of this tank. ”
"Yes." Guo Yunfeng silently got into the tank.
The so-called "disposal" is nothing more than the return of it to the Ziguang military base
And this "demon tank" that made a big splash in Cairo will inevitably become a legend in Africa.
"Baron Andrew, can I ask you a question?"
After receiving an affirmative answer from "Baron Andrew", General Khamlemu finally couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?" ”
Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "I can't tell you for the time being, but I promise that you will soon know the day when the powerful German army enters Cairo." But please believe in one thing, I am your friend, and I am definitely not an enemy. ”
General Khanlemu nodded silently, he was completely convinced of this, it was this man who saved himself from his life
"Where do we go now?"
"Find a place to hide, and then continue to lead the Egyptian uprising." Wang Weiyi's answer was very calm, as if this was his own territory.
While waiting for Guo Yunfeng to return, Wang Weiyi said slowly: "According to my knowledge, Ramses II is one of the most famous and greatest pharaohs in Egyptian history. Known as the darling of the gods, Ramses II was the most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian military empire and the ruler of the most zealous monuments. During his sixty-seven years of reign, he built fascinating cities: Piramesses; The restoration of polytheistic worship made the land on the banks of the Nile prosperous; In order to ascend to heaven and become immortal, he built numerous temples and statues for himself; Because of him, the Egyptian artist invented the method of inscription relief; At the same time, he concluded the earliest known international treaty, and the earliest peace treaty in the world."
General Khamlemu was stunned, and he didn't know why the other party would suddenly say Ramses II.
But then Wang Weiyi's words gradually made him understand: "Ramses II's great deeds are not his military achievements, but the contracts he created, which is a symbol of peace." General Kannelemu, I am sure you will be as great as Ramses II. ”
General Kannele smiled bitterly, maybe this is what the Germans want most! (To be continued......)
