The simple reason why Lieutenant General Brasso did not tell Commander Roblan was that he had received a telegram from the commander-in-chief, Prince Filiberto. Let him attack at once on both sides of Deir Munasib and Rwaissat. So as to expand the breakthrough.

Although Lieutenant General Brasso reported the arrival of two enemy corps, Prince Filiberto ordered that the two corps be left alone, and that it was more important to crush the enemy's defenders at Deir Munasib and Rowaiisat Ridge.

As long as these two places are breached, then these attacking British troops will be a piece of cake.

In fact, as the prince said, when the 13th and 15th armies appeared behind the defenders of Deir Munasib and Rwaissat, respectively, the defenders on the position wavered. Even the fighting Anzac could not accept the danger of being cut off, so the collapse began.

After the collapse of the defenders of Deir Munasib and Rwa Isat Ridge, the second line of defense of the Entente forces was only the small town of El Alamein.

At this time, for the Japanese troops defending El Alamein, the defensive pressure increased several times. First of all, it is necessary to hold the place, and the casualties paid are unacceptable.

In fact, when the other positions were breached one after another, Okubogong sent a telegram to Admiral Murray, asking him to send troops to protect his rear road, or allow the Japanese troops to retreat.

It was obvious that when the second line of defense collapsed, how could Admiral Murray come up with enough troops to protect the rear of the Japanese army, which was Okubogon's intention to retreat.

In the face of Obaogong's request to retreat, Murray was already a little careless at this time. He has been overwhelmed by the successive defeats at the Alam Nail Ridge, Deir Munasib Ridge, and Rwa Isat Ridge.

At this time, he had already transferred all the troops he could mobilize, just to meet the defeated army. So after seeing O'Bogong's telegram, he fell into deep thought.

At this time, the others around did not dare to disturb the commander, so they could only wait silently.

They didn't have to wait long, and after a while, the Supreme Commander of Egypt stood up, and he sighed before saying. "Send a telegram to Count Obaogong, ordering him to retreat in three days, and I will send troops to meet them."

"Yes!"

He knew that after this order was passed to Okubaogong, the Japanese marshal would definitely scold, but he couldn't help it, if these defeated soldiers didn't have time to put things in order, they wouldn't be able to re-enter the battlefield. In addition to the limited strength of the defeated troops in his hands, it was difficult to block the attack of the Italians, so he took a fancy to the Japanese dispatch army, which performed well on the battlefield.

If Okubo Gong can hold the enemy back with his army for three days, he will be given three precious days.

The order was soon reached by Obaogong, and he was surprisingly angry at the telegram that kept him for three days. "Eight Ga Ya Road!"

"Bang"

He picked up the command knife and smashed the porcelain in front of him, as if the porcelain in front of him was Admiral Murray.

As a veteran of battle, how could Obao Gong not understand the meaning of this order. Although they were allowed to hold out for three days, when the other troops were defeated and retreated, it was obvious that the lives of the Japanese officers and soldiers were used to consume the enemy's advance.

Thinking of the enemy's superiority on land, sea and air, and the fact that he could only defend the town of El Alamein alone, the difficulty of this made his experienced veteran feel his scalp tingle.

At this time, he can't stop it, and he must keep it, and he can't keep it.

After seeing him calm down, he immediately shouted loudly. "Let the communications staff come over at once."

When the communications staff arrived, he looked at the map in front of him with a gloomy face and spoke. "Now I order that all the troops of the dispatch army immediately strengthen the fortifications, and then we will face the fiercest offensive of the enemy, and hope that you will be brave to repay the country's kindness."

At this time, he could only rely on El Alamein's ring fortifications to resist the attack of the Italian army.

As for Murray's side, he needs to use the three days won by the Japanese army to rectify the defeated troops, and when the time comes, he will fight if he can, and if he can't, he will have to think of other ways.

That's right, at this time, Admiral Murray has already prepared two sets of plans, and if the defeated soldiers can be trained within three days, then he will definitely act according to what he told Obaogong.

But what if the whole training can't be done?

Then Murray needs to think about the rest.

But no matter what you do, you need Okubaogong to take the Japanese army to buy time for it.

At this time, the 4th and 12th armies, together with the 2nd, 4th, and 6th independent heavy artillery brigades, attacked the El Alamein ring position. The total strength of these troops is as high as 290,000 troops, more than 1,600 artillery pieces, and 63 tanks. In addition to this, there was the shelling of the combined fleet of the Navy.

As for the Japanese army defending El Alamein, there were only 120,000 men and more than 500 artillery pieces, and the gap between the two sides was huge.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

The dense sound of explosions raged through the positions, and the Japanese officers and soldiers hid in the anti-artillery holes and shivered, and they could only pray for the blessing of the god of sunshine to save themselves from being hit by shells.

But it's a pity that this is North Africa, not Japan, not the home of the god of sunshine.

150 mm, 180 mm, and 210 mm shells were the mainstay, mixed with 305, 350, and 380 mm shells, so that even the Japanese officers and soldiers hiding in the anti-artillery holes could not be spared.

"Boom!"

A loud bang sounded from a section of the position, and the huge shaking caused the Japanese officers and soldiers who were 100 meters away to vomit blood. This was the most powerful 380-mm shell, from the No. 4 main battery on the Roma.

And there happened to be an anti-artillery hole within 15 meters of this shell, and the Japanese officers and soldiers in the anti-artillery hole were generally lying on the ground densely, like sleeping babies. But experienced people can surely see at a glance that this is not sleeping but being shocked to death.

Scenes like this are not uncommon in the field, and large and small craters make this place look like the surface of the moon.

Such a fierce shelling lasted for half a day, and the Japanese fortifications at El Alamein were shattered. And in the upper left of the battlefield, an airship slowly circled around the position, in addition to this airship in the sky, there were several planes, they were constantly circling around the airship, like a guardian airship, it seems that there must be a big man in the airship.

That's right, there are big people in the airship. Prince Filiberto, commander of the Italian Egyptian Army Group, was observing the results of the shelling from inside the airship.

"The level of artillery is good, most of the shells fall in the target area."

Just as Prince Filiberto praised the shelling, there was another situation, and the soldiers in the attacking positions came out of the trenches and rushed towards the enemy positions.

This battle of El Alamein lasted for two days.

That's right, it's two days. Although the Japanese officers and soldiers resisted desperately, the Italian army, which had absolute superiority in strength, firepower and strategy, still took only two days to conquer El Alamein, and Obaogong surrendered with more than 30,000 Japanese troops.

El Alamein's defenders were annihilated in two days, frustrating Admiral Murray's plan, and he could only march to Alexandria with his army, and the Italian army, which had lost men and ammunition, could only watch the enemy retreat.

However, in this battle of El Alamein, the losses of the Allied army were not small, even after deducting the 200,000 Japanese troops who were completely annihilated, the losses of other armies were about 100,000. Of course, the losses of the Italian army were not small, and nearly 100,000 casualties, missing, and captured also needed to be repaired.

And the defeat in the Battle of El Alamein let the Entente know that Egypt could no longer hold on. The British stepped up the withdrawal from Egypt, and a large number of British and French personnel were withdrawn by ship every day. According to statistics, Alexander alone evacuated 100,000 men in three days, half of whom were soldiers, and the rest were merchants, officials, and pro-British Egyptians.

As for the Italian army, a week after the victory at the Battle of El Alamein, after repairs, they rushed into the Nile Delta. On the 10th day Alexandria was captured, on the 15th day Cairo was captured, on the 20th day the Suez Canal was occupied, and on the 30th day Aswan was occupied.

As for the Ottoman army, this converged with the Italian army in Sinai. 、

At this time, the Egyptian campaign was considered to be a successful end, and due to the influence of the Egyptian campaign, the East African campaign launched by Britain and France could only be stopped.

In the East African campaign, the Italo-Egyptian coalition suffered heavy casualties, with a total loss of 110,000 men, and was captured in the south by Kismayo, Sako, and Bardere, and Mogadishu was once threatened by British and French troops. In the north, only Koren and Aastat were occupied, and the overall territorial losses were not large.

The victory in the Egyptian campaign greatly increased the prestige of the alliance led by Germany, Italy and Austria. The Entente led by Britain, France and Russia were favored by more countries.

Think about it, no matter how high your reputation is before, but this look is a defeat, the golden body is broken and wants to go back, how is this possible.
