Imperial Overlord

Cunningham ran without hesitation. Although he is not as miraculous as Can Anning, the old, cunning and wily admiral Can Anning, but in the running of the word, he uses a consummate skill.

After detonating various facilities in the port and reducing the port throughput of Matrouh to a level near zero, the Australian 6th Infantry Division withdrew, and there was no turning back.

He ignored Churchill's request in the slightest, and left without fighting a blocking battle in Matrouh.

The Germans captured Matroux on September 11, again barely firing a shot. The British ** team retreated to Alamein in one breath, and then stopped their retreat.

Rommel, who occupied Matrouh, also had no materials to attack. He could only watch the British transfer a division from South Africa to North Africa to strengthen the defense of the Australian 6th Infantry Division.

The current German team no longer has the ability to continue to attack eastward. Although they still have an advantage in strength, their material consumption is too much.

Most of the materials along the way have to be transported from the distant Tripoli to the front line by vehicles, and the remaining ports can only supply some urgently needed things.

Until the port of Matrouh was repaired, before Benghazi was expanded, until Sirte was fully utilized... Rommel's forces had to maintain a defensive stance at Matrouh.

The only good news is that the British will not continue to increase troops in Egypt for a short time, after all, the intention of Germany and Italy to invade the Balkans is becoming more and more obvious.

Historically, the British Indian 4th Infantry Division, which supported the Balkans, has been wiped out in North Africa by Rommel's counterattack, so now Britain has little ability to reinforce the Balkans.

"Shooting here! Yes! Here! Take a picture of the port of Port Matru!" A reporter was directing his men to set up a professional camera.

On the other side, reporters who came from Benghazi and Tripoli on purpose were frantically squandering their film rolls.

The German army occupied Matrouh and pushed the British troops back to Alamein, which was almost the most glorious moment for Rommel in North Africa in history.

So, also as in history, his attack was affirmed by the German Army Command.

Marshal Brauchitch personally issued an order to promote Rommel, and promoted Lieutenant General Rommel to the German Army General!

Goebbels also seems to have found a way to defeat the will of the British at this moment, and he intends to make a victory album about North Africa like Salume!

First of all, he had already printed the propaganda leaflet about the German occupation of West Dubai, ready to throw it to British civilians the next time the bombing of London was stopped.

And now, busy reporters, including Italian reporters and German reporters, are all coming to collect material.

They will use clearer photos to record the German occupation of Matrouh, and then let the British take a closer look at how far they have failed in North Africa.

"Take a picture clearly! Yes! There are also anti-aircraft guns dropped by the British on the sea surface, and they must be taken in!" The reporter looked at everything around him carefully and instructed.

The small town of Matrouh, to be honest, is not much different from West Dubai Nila, it is nothing more than a larger urban area.

Egypt at that time was not as good as it is now. In the entire North Shore port, the only thing that can be seen is Alexandria.

As for how the logistics supply has been improved after Germany occupied Matrouh, that is really a nonsense.

The throughput of Matrouh Port was originally similar to that of Tobruk. Now, after the destruction of the British, it has dropped to the level of Berdy.

Therefore, the supplies of the German and Italian troops here are less than that of Baierdi.

Fortunately, the number of German troops was much smaller than when they were attacked in history, and this time, the British navy did not dare to frequently go to the trouble of the Italian navy's supply fleet.

After all, there is an island of Malta lying across the sea, and the Luftwaffe fighter units stationed on it are no joke.

Because the nail in Malta was pulled by German paratroopers, the land and sea from Tripoli to Benghazi are very safe.

This also allowed the German troops on the front to get a lot more supplies - but this was only a little more, and it did not support them in attacking El Alamein.

"You guys! Yes! Make a mess of their clothes! Make it worse." Seeing that the reporter was about to take a photo, the German police officer on the side began to cooperate.

His soldiers guarded 40 British prisoners captured from Nila, West Dubai. These British soldiers were ordered to retreat at last, but were unfortunately blocked by the German armored reconnaissance force.

Standing next to an armored reconnaissance unit's Sdkfz222 armored vehicle, seven or eight German soldiers in neat uniforms, holding the iconic Mauser 98K rifle, posed a dashing pose.

Unlike the actual fighting German North African army, although these German soldiers wore shorts, they wore M35 steel helmets, which seemed to be more "fan" of the German army.

Compared with the combat troops covered in yellow sand, the soldiers responsible for posing are much cleaner, and the accessories are relatively more complete.

They have protective cases for gas masks, bayonets and other parts hanging from their bodies, and they even deliberately chose two with a second-class Iron Cross...

"Does it seem more casual with a cigarette... I mean, it's more calm." A reporter asked his colleagues around him while framing a picture with his hands.

The colleague beside him frowned, shook his head and said, "The head of state doesn't like smoking. If this photo is selected in the newspaper, the head of state will be unhappy when he sees it, and things will be difficult to clean up."

"You're right! I didn't think much about it." The reporter who came up with the idea nodded, silently taking down the words of the senior in his heart—this is all experience! Valuable experience!

"But you're right, it should be embellished!" Although the leading reporter rejected the idea of ​​smoking, he still agreed with the young reporter's words.

He stretched out his hand, pointed to the nearest soldier, and said, "Sir! Take off your kettle and make it like drinking water! Yes! Thank you! That's great! Naturally, more naturally!"

The soldier picked up his water bottle, unscrewed it, and stuffed the empty bottle into his mouth, and then put on a look of intoxication.

Behind him, two German soldiers leaned against the armored vehicle and pointed their rifles at the tattered British prisoners.

Although there were not many prisoners in the distance, they still had to obey the arrangement and stood there honestly, with the expression of a dead mother.

After all, there are more muzzles and eyes staring here in the distance, and they can't help but cooperate. They put their heads in their hands and looked at the German soldiers who "escorted" them with embarrassed eyes.

The people on both sides were actually embarrassed, on the one hand a groom-like German soldier who had never fought, and on the other a "beggar" who was captured by another group of "beggars".

Because of the angle of the photo, there are only 40 British prisoners in the squad. Because there is no end in sight, it appears to be endless.

"Is this necessary? It's fine to use normal soldiers for photos. Shouldn't taking pictures be to capture the most exciting moment?" Rommel looked at the busy men in the distance and the British prisoners who looked a little unnatural. said to the adjutant.

He likes taking pictures because he likes to record real moments, instead of deceiving people with fake pictures.

"Sir! After all, this is a propaganda war, and it is necessary to make some appropriate exaggerations." The adjutant leaned on the dirty car and replied to Rommel with a smile.

Compared with the soldiers photographed in the distance, even Rommel's image at this moment is not good-looking - he killed all the way from Beldi to Matrouh, but the road was full of wind and sand.

"There is a chariot repair factory here. Although it was destroyed, there are a lot of facilities left. UU read www.uukanshu.com" An officer came over and threw his gloves into the back seat of another convertible. superior.

This officer with the rank of lieutenant general is the commander of the 21st Armored Division who has just arrived at the front, General Karl Boucher.

He is an impatient person. As soon as he came to the front line, he went to see the tank repair factory on the front line. Although it was called a factory, it was just a "workshop" with a roof.

"These British people left nothing behind when they left, but there are still some seats and benches in the maintenance ditch that I didn't take with me... It's a bit of a conscience." As he spoke, he showed a pair of goggles from his hand.

"The one I just found in the repair shop was thrown in a corner. It's much prettier than the one on your head." Lieutenant General Karl pointed to the goggles on Rommel's head with a smile and said.

Compared with Rommel's goggles, which are not as good as the lenses on the gas mask, the British goggles are obviously high-end and elegant.

The goggles are cut from a single piece of plexiglass, look trendy and are just the right size to hang in front of the high protrusion of the German cap.

In this era, plexiglass is still a high-tech material used in aircraft cockpit canopies. It is obviously very extravagant to use a piece of goggles, so Rommel likes it very much.

He took this beautiful goggles from General Karl Boucher, hung it on his hat and looked at it, Rommel smiled with satisfaction: "This is really a good thing, give it to me, don't you want it?"

"I just arrived at the front line, and I just heard that you have been promoted to general by Marshal Brauchitch! I didn't bring any decent gifts, so let's express my congratulations to you!" General Karl Boucher pointed with a smile. Goggles, said.
