Unlimited Military Base

Rommel’s dazzling victory in Africa made him a good man in the German Empire and pushed his personal reputation to the top.

But this does not allow Germany to win in Africa.

The United Kingdom appointed Montgomery to direct all the Allied forces in Africa. Erwin Rommel met the biggest enemy of his life!

On August 12, 1942, General Montgomery flew to Africa and was ordered to take over the command of the 8th Army.

Montgomery had an eagle-like face, and his high-pitched tone with a strong English nasal sound didn’t sound very friendly. He has similarities with Rommel in many ways. These two people are very lonely in character, surrounded by enemies more than friends; they are very arrogant and arrogant, when they are obeying others, they are like an unruly horse, and when they gain full command, they They are also excellent commanders with clear-headed and most unique insights; both of them like sports, and do not smoke or drink hard alcohol, paying attention to maintaining good health.

Like Rommel has been wearing the famous hat with plexiglass goggles, Montgomery also wears a weird Australian jungle hat with a team badge to show that it is different. In addition, both of them like to select outstanding, young and handsome officers to form their own staff. In terms of tactics, Rommel is good at sports, and Montgomery has never been a sports warfare expert who has swept a thousand miles; but in a well-arranged positional battle, he is better than Rommel. In the acquisition of intelligence, Rommel is even less able to compare with Montgomery. Since Rommel lost his radio interception, the news of the British army he can get is becoming less and less. British intelligence agencies know how to confuse enemies in intelligence sources, and a large number of highly decipherable intelligence suggests that the Germans: Italians are constantly leaking intelligence.

Rommel is convinced of this deception, which has deepened his contempt for the Italians. The British spy agency has continuously sent a large amount of German intelligence that they have detected to Montgomery, and Rommel knows nothing about it. “Longmeier is like being blindfolded in a duel with Montgomery,” said a German critics after the war.

However, Montgomery and Rommel are equally aware that the outcome of mechanized war depends to a large extent on logistics. Therefore, both of them strongly urged their commanding department to do as much as possible to transport more combatants and weapons to the African battlefield. Obviously, Montgomery has an absolute advantage in this regard. The war machines of Britain and the United States have started their horsepower. A large number of fleets have flown across the Mediterranean Sea, bringing a large amount of weapons and logistical supplies to the British army. The strength of the 8th Army is increasing. Churchill told the Montgomery 10th Army that it is being formed, and that 300 “Sherman” type Tanks are expected to be shipped from the United States to North Africa in early September.

On August 30, Rommel finally made the “hardest choice in life”:

That is to attack the British army.

This can actually be said to be the last “life and death”. Because the number of Tanks in this fashion armored regiment is less than half that of the British army, the remaining fuel is not even enough to drive 160 kilometers, and the British army still firmly controls the air superiority.

In the early morning, when Rommel boarded the bus to the command post, he said to the health doctor with a heavy heart: “The offensive launched today is the most difficult decision I have made in my life. Or we will arrive at the Suez Canal, or”

In the following words, he is really hard to say anymore.

The British army quickly discovered the information that Rommel was about to launch an attack from the deciphered secret electricity. Although Ochinlik repeatedly hinted to Montgomery that in the event of Rommel’s full attack, the 8th Army should retreat to preserve its strength, but Montgomery believes that the current British army is fully capable of defeating Rommel’s offense and can take this opportunity quickly. Launch counterattack. At the meeting of the senior officers of the group army, Montgomery announced to everyone the order of “never retreat.”

At 10 o’clock that evening, in the pale moonlight, the African armored regiment advanced along the undulating sand dunes to the British army minefield. The left wing of the African Army is the Italian Tank Force and the right wing is the 90th Light Armored Division. Under the guidance of the engineers, the soldiers shook the miniature flashlight and carefully passed through their minefields. Just as the troops were about to cross their minefields, the African Army Orchestra played an ancient Prussian marching in the throat of the veterans. The officers and men of the armored regiment will never know that they are also stepping into the trap that the British army has already set for them.

Late at night, the armored regiment launched an attack on the British position at the southern end of the El-Alamein line. The information obtained by Rommel is that the British army has no mines in this area and its defensive power is weak. But when the offensive began, the Germans actually broke into a very dense minefield. When the African army slowly advanced behind the engineers, suddenly, a single flare exploded in the air, and the dazzling flash immediately exposed the troops to the British fire range. The British heavy machine guns and artillery that had already been ready were immediately shot at the Germans in the minefield. Tanks, armored transport vehicles and cars were hit by fire, and some vehicles and soldiers slammed the mines in order to escape the fire.

Suddenly, shells, bombs and mines exploded. General Bismarck was killed by thunder, and the commanding vehicle of the commander of Nanning was also hit by artillery. Most of the officers in the car were killed and he was seriously injured. The Chief of Staff, Colonel Bayrein, immediately transferred to another car and continued to direct the African Army to move forward. The artillery braved the artillery fire in front of the road, the troops followed the little bit forward, and finally passed the “death zone.”

When the African army was trapped in the minefield, Rommel even planned to cancel the attack. Obviously, the British army was already ready, and the original surprise attack on the British army was impossible. However, when the African Army broke through the minefield and continued to advance, Rommel decided to continue the attack.

After crossing the minefield, the African army regrouped and prepared to attack Alam Halle. At this time, the Air Force sent a reconnaissance report, and Rommel could not help but create an ominous premonition. The Air Force reported that the British army built a very strong position on the ridge, and the 44th Infantry Division recently transferred from the UK was also found in the defenders.

It is too late to let the African army withdraw from the fighting. The African army attacked. At the beginning, the attack was still relatively smooth, but the subsequent Italian troops were trapped by the minefield and failed to catch up in time. Montgomery has mobilized more than 400 tanks and a large number of anti-Tank guns to strengthen the defensive ridge. Under the tenacious resistance of the British army, the offensive power of the African army has become more and more powerful.

In the afternoon, the desert had a big storm. Although the storm has lost the opportunity for the British military to accurately bomb, it also makes the progress of the African army very difficult. At night, the storm stopped. Under the blazing light of the flares, the personnel of the African Army, the Tank and the vehicles all became the targets of the British army. Some British planes bravely rushed toward the marching German Tank after throwing the bomb. The violent explosion was deafening, and the fire after the explosion illumined the night sky. Under the attack of the British army, the African army quickly became unable to move, and had to temporarily stop the attack.

At the same time, the German attack in other directions was also subjected to the British army’s stubborn resistance. The British defense line seems to have become indestructible. The Italian forces responsible for transporting supplies and fuel to the front line were also attacked by British aircraft and the 7th Armored Division. The losses were so heavy that they could not cross the British line.

On September 1, the German first-line offensive unit fueled an emergency. Rommel had to order to abandon all large-scale operations and continue to attack only some of the important targets. In the morning, the African army used the entire force of the 15th Armored Division to carry out the last attack on the Alam Halla. After destroying a large number of British Tanks, the German Tank was ready to return to the east of the ridge to surround the defensive British army, forcing the British to abandon the position. Just then, Tank’s petrol and ammunition could no longer support the subsequent attack, and the Germans were forced to stop.

On September 2, the British Air Force aircraft bombed the Germans of the attack 12 times. The British artillery also violently counterattacked it. The British army fired more than 10,000 shells on the front side of the 15th Armored Division less than 3 kilometers. Tanks and vehicles that lost mobility became the favorite target of the British. This day was the worst day for the Germans.

It is no longer possible to continue to attack forward. At 8:25 in the morning, Rommel was forced to announce the cessation of the attack and ordered the African army to withdraw to the position before the attack. In order to prevent the British army from taking the opportunity to counterattack, Rommel ordered that the troops should do their utmost to keep secrets when retreating. “If the soldiers want to ask, tell them that they are changing defenses.”

Erwin Rommel suffered one of the worst failures of his life!

On September 6, Rommel finally withdrew his troops to the offensive starting position. The African armored regiment began to move into the preparatory phase of the defense of the British offensive.

The shadow of failure is shrouded in German

But on the night of September 6th, things seemed to have changed. A character enough to make the German African army defeated, at least, this is what all Germans think.

As long as this person appears, the difficult situation can survive:

Marshal Ernst .Breem:

– Skulls Baron!

Where there is danger, there is a baron!

“marshal!”

“marshal!”

Faced with the German generals who came to greet themselves, Marshal Ernst .Breem looked dignified:

“Call all senior officers to hold an emergency meeting, immediately!”

God-like characters appeared, and the hope of Germany appeared! The German generals are eager to hope that Marshal Ernst. Breem can create a new miracle as in the Russian battlefield.

But at least for now, the challenge that Marshal Ernst .Breem is facing is too severe! (To be continued. Please search h astrolog W, the novel is better to update faster!)
