- The sudden surrender of the 2nd Free French Brigade brought a major turning point on the battlefield.
Now, the Germans are aiming their main attack at the British 133rd Infantry Brigade.
The situation of the 133rd Infantry Brigade is also not optimistic.
In previous battles, the 133 Infantry Brigade has been used as a firefighter. Wherever there is a crisis, this unit will appear.
But it is precisely because of this that this unit has never maintained a complete sequence from the battle to the present. The soldiers have already become exhausted from the constant mobilization.
One of their regiments was attacked by the Germans on their way to aid the Greeks, and one of their battalions was attacked by the Germans on their way to aid the French.
The surrender of the French made this battalion a target for the Germans.
They basically used light weapons and were quickly beaten hard by the Germans.
General Woodrow once again issued a wrong order at this time:
He asked the 1st Armored Division, which was in the middle of a fierce battle, to find a way to mobilize troops for reinforcements no matter what.
Originally, the 1st Armored Division was evenly matched with the Germans at this time, but under General Woodrow's repeated orders, General Johnson of the 1st Armored Division had to deploy some of its troops for reinforcements.
But when the reinforcements finally arrived on the battlefield, they found that the battalion of the 133rd Infantry Brigade had been routed. As for the victorious Germans, when they saw the arrival of another British force far inferior to their own, the joy of the German commanders can be imagined.
War is like this, seemingly small mistakes one by one eventually come together and lead to the most disastrous failure!
And Major General Johnson, who was forced to mobilize his troops, soon had a gap in his originally complete sequence.
Originally, this gap was not very big, but what was terrible was that standing opposite General Johnson was the "Desert Fox" - Erwin Rommel!
Rommel will never let go of this golden opportunity! He quickly mobilized his troops and launched the most ferocious assault into this gap.
Now, the danger of being torn apart is also placed in front of Major General Johnson.
The German offensive momentum is really too fierce, especially their commander Rommel who can always discover the enemy's weaknesses and flaws most accurately.
At 6 o'clock, Rommel successfully commanded his troops, penetrated the 1st Armored Division's defense line, and quickly broke through in depth.
General Johnson and his 1st Armored Division were in trouble
6:10.
"Tank No. 1128" is the confidence of the German troops on the battlefield!
Wherever this tank appears, victory is guaranteed.
At this time, not only Wang Weiyi and the German troops under his command were fighting, but the Secret Intelligence Service headed by Colonel Fels also joined in the efforts to win the final victory of the war.
Each telegram was intercepted by Colonel Fels, who was proficient in Allied transmission methods, and was quickly reported to General Ernst.
??Previously, the "Fighter" organization was uncovered, and the British contact password was also fully owned by the Germans.
Every move of the Allied forces is completely in the hands of the Germans
At 6:10, Wang Weiyi received the latest information from Colonel Fels. The remaining troops of the 133rd Infantry Brigade were ordered to pass through Tasossi and complete the attack with the 1st Armored Division, which was very passive under the waves of German attacks. Convergence.
This was the information that pleased Wang Weiyi the most. Under his command, the German army quickly moved towards Tasossi.
Colonel Firth¡¯s intelligence was correct. Less than 20 minutes after the Germans arrived in Tasossi, the British 133rd Infantry Brigade appeared.
You can imagine the frightened expression of the British when they were suddenly attacked by the German army.
This was a clean battle of annihilation, with the well-prepared German army facing off against the unprepared British army.
A terrible disaster occurred in Tasossi.
Countless British people died under German artillery fire and machine gun attacks, and Tasossi was covered with British corpses in a short period of time
The 133rd Infantry Brigade still put up the most tenacious resistance, but it was obvious that such resistance was in vain.
They fell in droves under the guns of the Germans, and Tasossi turned into a complete hell on earth.
Even those German soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles could not help but be frightened by such bloody scenes.
When the last shot fell, only 300 British soldiers fled the battlefield.
This is what happened next??A battle known to the Allies as the "Tassossi Massacre." This massacre is as famous as another massacre in the "Second Battle of Alamein":
The Limsey Massacre!
The entire 133rd Infantry Brigade was completely destroyed, and even their commander was killed in this battle
The Allied 2nd Royal Artillery Regiment, the Greek 1st Infantry Brigade, the 2nd Free French Brigade, and the British 133rd Infantry Brigade were successively destroyed. Now, the outcome of the war is completely in Wang Weiyi's hands.
Lieutenant General Woodrow now only has the 1st Armored Division and the 111th Field Artillery Regiment that are relatively intact.
At this moment, the German army is completing the encirclement
When General Montgomery¡¯s order to retreat came, it was already too late.
On October 25, 1942, the German Afrika Korps 10th Armored Division, 90th Light Armored Division, and 164th Infantry Division completely encircled the British 1st Armored Division.
The great tragedy of the British people began.
After repeatedly asking about the situation on the front line, Montgomery photographed the most famous telegram in the "Second Battle of Alamein"
"Please remember your honor, please remember that you are a British officer. Reinforcements are on the way."
Reinforcements are on the way?
General Woodrow knew the situation of the British army very well. In order to win the "Second Battle of Alamein", the British mobilized almost all available forces.
Even if there were reinforcements, General Woodrow was convinced that they were improvised troops.
And what¡¯s even more terrible now, the supply problem that once troubled the Germans for a long time is also tightly entangled with the British.
Due to the bombing of the supply base, the British's fuel and ammunition replenishment was in crisis, and in a short period of time, new supplies could not arrive at all.
It¡¯s really hard to tell what¡¯s going on in the world. A series of disguises and deceptions have now completely changed the supply situation of Germany and Britain.
General Woodrow was not sure whether he would be able to wait for reinforcements, but he decided to do as General Montgomery said in his telegram:
Please remember your honor, please remember that you are a British officer!
Even if you have to die, let yourself die on the battlefield you love
In a disadvantaged situation, General Woodrow issued a very bold order:
Attack - attack the Germans!
This was beyond the expectations of Rommel and the German commanders. With such passivity, the British actually launched an attack!
The sudden attack caused the German army to suffer considerable losses, which also amazed Rommel.
¡°Although General Woodrow made quite a few mistakes before, in terms of courage alone, he deserves the honor that a soldier should receive.
Facing the fierce attack of the British army, Rommel did not panic, but calmly ordered all German troops to switch from offense to defense, waiting for the arrival of the 10th Armored Division.
Rommel judged the situation on the battlefield too clearly
The British now can only exude their last courage and use their last light and heat to carry out a final assault.
Their spirit is commendable, but they will not succeed
However, the German army, which originally had a stable grasp of the battlefield situation, suddenly defended itself under the British counterattack. This was also what worried General Woodrow the most.
If the Germans used attack to attack, the 1st Armored Division could still find opportunities to break through, but Rommel's sophistication made all this come to nothing.
At 11:00, several attacks failed, and the British exhausted all their energy.
At this time, Wang Weiyi's 10th Armored Division completed the last piece of the puzzle in the encirclement battle
Just when Wang Weiyi was about to issue the general offensive order, something happened that made him ecstatic:
Klingenberg and his strike team are back!
It¡¯s not accurate to say it¡¯s a squad. There are only three people left in this assault squad.
"Klingenberg, are you not dead?" Although he saw Klingenberg standing in front of him alive, Wang Weiyi still endured the ecstasy in his heart and asked calmly.
"Yes, I jumped out of the British encirclement." Klingenberg's answer was also so calm: "I have been conducting guerrilla operations with the British. Although most of my team members died in the battle, I But he still survived.¡±
Then, he pointed to the hot battlefield: "Marshal, can I rejoin the battle now?"
"Klingenberg, you are now a major!" Wang Weiyi announced to this "creator of the miracle in Belgrade".After his appointment, he said: "I will arm you with a new commando team, Major Klingenberg."
"Thank you!" Klingenberg saluted Marshal Ernst.
"Then, let's get started." Wang Weiyi took a long breath: "General Guo Yunfeng, Major Mailister, are you all ready?"
"Yes, Marshal, we are ready!"
¡°Then, let¡¯s end this now!¡±
After Wang Weiyi issued this order, the German army's final general attack on the British 1st Armored Division began. And this will also be the largest and most critical battle of annihilation in the "Second Battle of Alamein".
It can even be said to be a crucial battle that determined the entire North African War.
The German army, under the command of Marshal Ernst Brahm, will completely reverse the previous passive situation in North Africa.
The goddess of victory is now silently watching these brave and fearless Germans! (To be continued.
