- October 1942 was destined to be a major turning point on the African battlefield. //Free e-book download //*.*
On October 23, the British army took the lead in launching an attack.
The Allied forces¡¯ 882 artillery bombardments continued for five and a half hours, kicking off the ¡°Second Battle of Alamein.¡± At the end of the bombardment each gun had fired approximately 600 rounds.
The German troops endured the enemy's shelling, and they waited silently.
When the sound of artillery stopped, the German counterattack suddenly arrived!
The German Air Force¡ªAttack!
Target - the British painstaking "Operation Bertram"!
Those real ammunition depots, oil tanks and grain silos of the Allies!
The JU87 aircraft was escorted by Messerschmitt fighters of the 1st Group of the 27th Combat Aviation Regiment.
The British seemed to sense the coming crisis and immediately dispatched a squadron of "Curtis" aircraft to intercept. Then, the "Tomahawk" aircraft of the Fifth Squadron of South Africa also went into battle one after another.
At this moment, a two-plane formation of Messerschmitt aircraft suddenly appeared behind them. Flying in front was "Yellow 14", a famous ace pilot in the German Afrika Korps. Behind him is his wingman, Staff Sergeant Rainer Pedgen.
The British plane entered a turn. The Messerschmitt aircraft with the number "Yellow 14" painted on it could be seen in the distance, clinging to the enemy aircraft. I saw him quickly put back the throttle and fired continuously. The first plane immediately caught fire, then flew off its left wing and fell down. A minute later, another one was successfully defeated. Just like that, the third, fourth, fifth, and six in a row were destroyed.
Wingman Pei Degan loudly praised: "At that time, I simply didn't have time to count. I not only had to find out when and where the enemy plane was shot down, but I was also responsible for protecting the safety of 'Yellow 14'."
The wingman pilot then praised his highly decorated lead aircraft: "He has an incredible sense of the direction of the turning nose. When he shoots, he only needs to look at the enemy aircraft. The shells are fired from The enemy plane's engine hood reached all the way to the cockpit, and it was really a perfect shot!"
He turned and shot. Six enemy planes were taken down in a row. No one else can do this. In just eleven minutes, he shot down six enemy planes in a row.
Only the pilot "Yellow 14" could destroy so many aircraft in such a short period of time. who is he?
He is Lieutenant Marceiu, the world¡¯s number one ace fighter pilot!
The first attack wave just flew over Malta, and the second attack wave followed closely.
Blockbuster bombs were dropped one after another on the same target - the material storage location of the British "Operation Bertram".
The Second Air Force mobilized all troops capable of night flying to participate in this air attack. About sixty bombers, escorted by night fighters and destroyers, carried out indiscriminate bombing raids on British material storage sites. Ancillary buildings and a repair shop were also hit and caught fire.
In addition, according to the stereoscopic photos taken by German reconnaissance aircraft, it was also discovered that there is a ramp leading underground on the edge of the airport. There were piles of dirt and rocks on both sides of the road. This must be an underground hangar!
The JU88 aircraft dropped a 1,000-kilogram armor-piercing projectile equipped with a rocket propeller at the hidden target. To bomb such a target, a dive method must be used. If the initial velocity is high, this kind of rocket can penetrate fourteen meters of rock.
There were bursts of terrible explosions. Those warehouses that the British had spent countless efforts building were instantly submerged in the terrifying artillery attacks of the Luftwaffe.
The fire is burning fiercely here
The British couldn¡¯t figure it out anyway, how did the Germans determine that this was the real important base for the British to store supplies?
But now is not the time for them to figure this out.
There is not much defensive base. Struggling amid the rumbling cannons and raging fires.
The heavy losses were shocking, and when the news of the attack on the base reached Alexander and Montgomery, they were completely shocked.
When did the Germans first know that this was actually the most important supply base for the Allies? Why did the Germans wait until the last moment before launching an attack?
Montgomery quickly explained the mystery.
The Germans did this on purpose! They have known about the existence of this supply base for a long time, but they have been enduring it. When the decisive battle began, the Germans finally showed their ferocious fangs.
Now, even if the British want to stop, they can't stop the attack
The only way is to be able toWin the decisive battle quickly, otherwise. The supply difficulties that the Germans once faced would soon befall the British.
Montgomery decided to make a desperate move.
"The Second Battle of Alamein" may finally determine the ownership of North Africa:
Skeleton Baron versus Montgomery!
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the infantry of the British 30th Regiment took the lead in launching the attack.
The engineers took on a huge task. They had to clear a path for the armored troops in the minefields set up by the Germans!
The Germans had no intention of stopping it at all. This is so strange
At 2 a.m. the next day, the first batch of 500 British tanks began to advance. By 4 a.m., the leading tanks had entered the minefield, kicking up so much dust that there was no visibility at all. The blockage started to get worse
?¡
"Marshal Ernst, the British army has arrived exactly as you imagined!"
When this report reached Wang Weiyi¡¯s ears. The commander-in-chief of the African Corps smiled: "Then, let's get started!"
In fact, Wang Weiyi also believes that this is not a fair road.
The enemy's attack time, attack route, and attack method are all in his mind. He knows when and where to launch what kind of attack!
When the German Air Force successfully bombed the Allied supply base, he knew that the balance of victory had begun to tilt towards him
?¡
"General, Marshal Ernst has ordered an attack!"
"Yes, tell the Marshal that the 21st Armored Division is ready to attack!" Lieutenant General Orgo Friedrich von Bismarck replied in his firm and cold voice.
Then, he waved his hand forward: "21st Armored Division. Attack!"
In the sky, the German eagle flew over; on the ground, the torrent of German armor rolled in.
The magnificent attack has begun!
The African Legion let out his most powerful roar at this moment!
Planes appeared over the minefields, and tons of bombs fell.
This is the most terrifying scene:
The British tanks were crowded together, the roads were completely blocked, and there was no place for them to hide.
As the bombs fell, the explosions that stunned the British also sounded.
One after another, the British tanks were ruthlessly destroyedand this also plunged the British tanks into greater chaos
Planes appear one after another. The British never thought of this.
The German Air Force did everything possible to select the best pilots for night combat. They used the night as a cover to catch the enemy by surprise.
When the Allied Air Force rushed to the battle, the results achieved can be imagined.
The British commanders were anxious. But the chaotic scene left them with no solution at all.
Some tanks evaded in a hurry, but unfortunately they touched the mines that the engineers had not had time to clean up, and then a bigger explosion sounded
The minefield in chaos has now become the burial place of the British!
At the same time, the 21st Armored Division of the German Afrika Korps, under the command of Lieutenant General Orgo, also showed their ferocious fangs.
German armored troops suddenly appeared. The impact on the battlefield is incalculable.
According to the intelligence previously obtained by the British, the German army did not deploy much force in this area, and the main forces had been transferred away.
But where did these German armored forces come from?
Those damn intelligence agents! Some British people have already begun to curse.
The most unlucky ones are the engineers
They worked hard to remove landmines for their troops, but when the enemy tanks appeared. They lack the necessary protection.
Now, they have become the targets of massacre!
The Germans used machine guns to teach these British engineers a lesson. Thousands of engineers fell down, and the ground was almost stained red with blood.
British sappers wailed amid machine gun bullets. They hid and fled everywhere in a hurry, but they could not escape the bullets.
Front. They are engineers who are dying, and behind them are tanks who are also dying.
The British encountered great trouble from the beginning of the attack.
HeWe must come up with a solution as soon as possible, but at this time the only solution that the chaotic British military command can come up with is:
Evacuate this damn place immediately!
What kind of solution is this? Who would want to stay in this land of death demons if it were possible?
The land of demons? Yes, that's what the British used to call this land of death filled with mines.
Now, it has truly become a place of demons!
The Germans had no intention of stopping their attack. They continued to slaughter the defenseless engineers and destroyed the overcrowded tanks.
And this is just the beginning.
Then, more German tanks and soldiers appeared. They began to clear the battlefield bit by bit according to the plan they had made in advance.
Explosions continued and screams of distress were heard everywhere. This was the darkest day in the history of the British 8th Army.
A demon showed his terrifying smile in this minefield strewn with death.
When the survivors recall this day, each of them will tremble, and everyone will look back with wide-eyed horror at all the terrible experiences they have encountered! - Didn't finish reading?
