Imperial Overlord

When German tanks appeared in front of the soldiers of the 101st Infantry Division in Egypt in the desert, the Egyptians finally knew what a pit father was.

Armed with rifles and machine guns, they drove trucks and were ordered to find the German tanks and fight off these two-meter-high, nearly 5-meter-long steel monsters!

The key is that these monsters have two 7.92mm caliber machine guns and a long barrel 50mm caliber cannon!

The most frustrating thing is that they were ordered to counterattack, not one such German tank, but at least...at least 150!

All right! The commander of the Egyptian 101st Infantry Division admitted that he could not even see how many German tanks there were, so he left his troops and retreated by himself.

But if he slowed down a little bit, would he still have a chance to escape? Those terrifying monsters can fire from 1,000 meters away, smashing his car into a sieve.

After escaping from the dead zone, the poor division commander discovered that there were several bullet holes in his car...

He touched for a long time before confirming that he was not hit by the bullet that penetrated the car. Fortunately, he began to curse Cunningham over and over again in his heart.

The entire Egyptian 101st Infantry Division that was fighting back, all he can find now is a part of the people who ran after him in front of him-probably, about 100 people, right?

What about the rest? Of course, it could not be eliminated. About 2,000 people on the battlefield decisively raised their arms against the German tanks that passed by.

The German Panzergrenadiers who followed up looked at the surrendering Egyptians in amazement. They held their hands high, and their weapons had long since been thrown.

There was still a lot of ammunition on the truck, as well as some valuable gasoline, which were taken away by the German Panzergrenadiers, and the rest were handed over to the friendly troops further behind.

The Italian troops who came to **** the captives followed. The funny thing is that they arrived here after 2 hours.

For two full hours, the Egyptian captives sat drearily under the sun, waiting for the Italians who came to take them to the POW camp... As a result, the Italians were late...

For two hours, no one paid any attention to the Egyptian prisoners of war, not even the rifles they had thrown away when they surrendered not far away.

Because the Germans had no time to deal with these prisoners whose wills had been destroyed, they rolled forward to capture more and more prisoners.

In fact, they did succeed. Cunningham's troops did not have time to withdraw from the defensive positions they had dug all night last night, and they were staggered with the attacking Italian troops.

As a result, it was too late to retreat, and the troops of the Australian 6th Infantry Division and the South African 1st Infantry Division had to fight hard defensive battles in place.

Then, Cunningham was still dispatching troops, hoping to use a counterattack to thwart the enemy's counterattack and buy time for his own retreat.

German tanks appeared on his side and on the road behind him! At least 30 German tanks crashed into his supply depot, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

Cunningham is now aware of his situation, and he doesn't even have the strength to organize and try to break out.

The frontal defensive battle has already exhausted the British army, and now the flank is exposed to enemy fire, the rear has also been occupied by the German army, and the supplies have been burned.

"Gentlemen! We have encountered the biggest setback since the battle began." Cunningham said bitterly in his command.

He still hadn't figured out how the Germans were able to get a lot of supplies and then win this battle that would have been lost.

Now, what he can be sure of is that there must be a large supply fleet behind those Italian fleets that have come from afar.

As for how the supply fleet transported the supplies ashore, he had no way of knowing.

"The 2nd Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division in South Africa has now lost contact, and some people saw a large number of our troops surrendering to the enemy." An officer replied depressedly.

The commander of the Egyptian 101st Infantry Division, who had just rushed back to the headquarters, was indeed even more pessimistic about the news he brought at this time.

As a division commander of an Egyptian infantry division, he was a real British. When he said that the German team had at least 150 tanks, everyone didn't know what to do.

"Sir! Now, all we can do is to gather the troops we can find immediately and break out! Return to Alamein!" An officer said anxiously, persuading Cunningham.

Why didn't Cunningham want to break through and retreat, but in this case, it was easier said than done to draw out troops and rush through the middle of the German tanks?

In other words, if he's still in force and tough enough to tear a hole in the middle of the German tanks - why is he retreating?

He can completely rely on this unit to counter the German tank units, knock back the German tanks on the sides and back, and then leave calmly, right?

late! Australia's 6th Infantry Division commander put down the phone in his hand, then said tremblingly: "My 1st regiment has surrendered, they are divided and surrounded, and they are attacked by a German tank that has never been seen..."

Looking at his pocket watch, Cunningham found that the German counterattack had only been going on for three hours, and his three infantry divisions and one under-staffed armored division had almost collapsed.

It was too late to say anything, he had no way to break through, nor any strength to defeat the Germans.

From start to finish, defeating the Germans and retaking Matrouh was a fantasy, a complete joke.

If it is not obvious now that the Germans are using a posturing attack to lure him to counterattack, then he is not worthy to be the commander of the British Army Nile.

Sadly, he had just seen that the Germans were actually capable of fighting back last night, and that Rommel was not a lunatic gambler.

On the contrary, everything on the other side is a genius idea based on rational strategy.

"We lost... North Africa is over..." After Cunningham gave a wry smile, he grabbed his military cap from his head and threw it on the table.

He looked at his subordinates angrily. If he was asked to make another choice, he would rather be a tortoise for the rest of his life, huddled in Alamein's line of defense. Whoever moves is the king!

It is a pity that there is no chance for him to reset his principles now. It is a pity that all the armies in North Africa are now buried here by him.

"Surrender! Be decent, like a gentleman." He squeezed out a painful smile, as if the nerves on his face were dead.

This smile is even more terrifying than the smile of a star who has plastic surgery and facial paralysis, because this smile means that there will be no troops in North Africa that can stop Germany from attacking Alexander.

Alexandria, at this moment, is like a naked girl, lying naked in front of Rommel's army...

"General! You have to come and see this!" As soon as Rommel's car stopped, an officer sent a telegram from the British side.

The above content is very simple. They will surrender in half an hour. I hope the German army will exercise restraint and abide by international conventions to properly place the prisoners.

Seeing the telegram in his hand, Rommel smiled. He returned the telegram to the officer in charge of the radio, and instructed, "Leave the work of capturing the British to General Garibaldi! Let's... go to Alexandria!"

At noon, Army Group Nile headquarters, including the British 7th Armoured Division, the Australian 6th Infantry Division, the South African 1st Infantry Division and the Egyptian new 101st Infantry Division, surrendered to the Afrika Korps.

More than 30,000 British and its colonial troops became Rommel's prisoners.

Because Rommel hardly lost his time on the road~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So at the same time as the British surrendered, his vanguard had already reoccupied Daiba.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the German army entered Alamein and simply launched an attack on the 1100 British troops left behind in Alamein.

An hour later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Germans occupied El Alamein and seized the depot before the British burned Hammam.

Before dinner, the reconnaissance detachment in front of Rommel's army arrived at Amelia, which had been set on fire by the British defenders.

Against the backdrop of the fire, the German tanks Kronlong advanced and arrived at the foot of Alexandria. At this time, there were only a pitiful 3,000 British guards in Alexandria.

The British Mediterranean Fleet has moved its home port to Port Said for fear of German air strikes.

So now Alexander, the only role is to transport supplies to the Nile Army that has been annihilated by the Germans.

The materials in the port are piled up, and there are even some A9 cruise tanks that have just been transported here from the Middle East.

It is a pity that those who use these equipment and weapons are already in Rommel's prisoner of war camp at this moment, waiting for dinner.

Because the Germans were advancing so fast that day, the British were completely unprepared to fight.

Most of the fortifications were built in El Alamein, and there were only a few simple trenches near Alexandria - the British did not even have enough anti-tank guns, and the tanks that could be used were even more pitiful.

A more tragic thing is that at this time, the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Division of South Africa had just left the port from Said and were preparing to go ashore in Alexandria...

On the evening of September 18, the British in North Africa were in chaos, and the German tanks were already on the periphery of Alexandria, showing off their might...
