Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On November 14, 1942, the advancing German advance troops finally appeared outside Cairo.  *.*

    Britain¡¯s final battle to defend Egypt has begun!

    The German army did not immediately launch an attack on Cairo, but began to continuously send assault teams to reconnoiter the British defenses in Cairo.  At the same time, they also began to actively contact the Egyptian rebels near Cairo.

    Subsequently, the main force of the German army commanded by Marshal Erwin Rommel was about to arrive in Cairo. They were less than half a day away

    Alexander and Montgomery decided to go all out and fight the enemy here for the sake of the British Empire.

    Although not many people are optimistic about their future.

    At 3 pm on the 14th, the German army launched a tentative attack on Cairo, but was met with a well-prepared Allied counterattack, and the attacking German army retreated.

    At 5 o'clock, the main force commanded by Rommel arrived.

    At this time, the German 90th Light Armored Division, the 15th and 21st Armored Divisions, the 10th Armored Division and the 164th Infantry Division, two Italian armored divisions, and 12 brigades of the Egyptian rebel army had gathered outside Cairo.  Large numbers of troops.

    The war is about to break out.

    At 5:30, Rommel received a telegram from Field Marshal Ernst Brahm in Cairo. In the telegram, Marshal Ernst told his good friend about the chaotic state of Cairo and instructed the German army to launch an attack as soon as possible.  The easier it is to capture Cairo.

    At the same time, the German army will most likely receive assistance from the South Africans

    Although Rommel did not know how Ernst did this, he firmly believed in everything Ernst said.

    ? These things might seem miraculous to others, but to Ernst they were just ordinary things.

    At 8:00 on the night of the 14th, German artillery fire covered Cairo.

    The Great War in Cairo broke out

    The German artillery preparations had been going on for a full hour, and the deafening sound of artillery seemed to swallow Cairo completely in one bite.

    This is an extremely shocking scene.

    The trembling earth seems to be telling the coming change of dynasties here; the night sky is brightly illuminated by artillery fire.  It seems that I am witnessing everything that happens here

    The tanks have roared impatiently, and they are waiting for the order to set off at any time.

    And perhaps the most anxious ones are the Egyptian uprising soldiers. They are extremely eager to rush into Cairo and drive out all the British.

    However, the defense line built by the British is not so easy to break through.

    General Bernard Montgomery was directing the battle from the front line, while General Alexander continued to strengthen the strangulation of the rioters in the city.

    They did not have any panic because of the arrival of the German army.

    At the same time, the Royal Navy anchored in the Suez Canal also gave the British army the fullest artillery support.

    At least so far, Cairo seems to be difficult to capture

    In Rommel's subsequent charges.  The Allied forces stubbornly repelled the German attack and defended their positions.

    In the sky, German and British planes were carrying out a life-and-death strangulation.

    Everyone is doing their best for this war.  Their eyes are red and their blood is hot.

    They will contribute everything they have to this battlefield

    While the Battle of Cairo was going on, inside the city.  The British are also working hard to prepare for any possible failure.  The British intelligence services, in particular, have prepared for the worst.

    Even if we fail, we must leave the British seeds in Cairo!

    And to do this, we must rely on the existence of latent spies.  Even if the Germans get Egypt, they will not be able to live in peace for a day.  In order to achieve this goal, a British warship quietly transported a large number of spies from various places.  Some of them are from the UK, and some have lived in Cairo.

    ¡°For example, after staying in Cairo for half a year, even his girlfriend is still in Cairo, Captain Canteen Gilbert.

    same.  The German intelligence service in Cairo also became unusually active.  They knew that the German army was about to enter Cairo, and they finally no longer had to live such a dark life.

    Even after the Germans began to attack Cairo.  The activities of the German intelligence organization became semi-open.  They constantly send spies to gather intelligence and recruit local people to serve them.

    And they also have a very important task: to capture more British spies who are about to lurk, and to pave the way for the future German occupation of Cairo.??

    ?¡­

    A strong and capable man turned onto the street from a secluded alley.  He was wearing a brown woolen coat and a mask covering his face.  He was also carrying a heavy box in his hand.  As he hurried forward, he looked back from time to time.  See if you are being followed.  This man is Captain Canteen Gilbert, one of the first batch of latent agents of the British Intelligence Organization.

    Explosions continued to sound throughout Cairo, but they had no impact on Captain Gilbert.  He knew that it was his army that was strangulating the enemy.

    At this moment, a group of British patrols came forward, each with their guns loaded and their heavy leather boots tapping on the ancient streets.  They walked past Gilbert with their heads held high, but Gilbert could not reveal his identity in front of his compatriots

    Gilbert passed by the patrol, turned into a quiet alley, and came to the door of a purple-red two-story building.  When he was sure he wasn't being followed, he raised his hand and rang the doorbell.  After a while, a young girl with a delicate face and gorgeous clothes opened the door.  She is Joyner, Gilbert's girlfriend who has not seen him for many days.  When she saw Gilbert, Joyner was surprised and happy. She opened her arms and rushed towards him to hug him.  Gilbert quietly waved his hand, picked up the box, entered the door in a flash, locked the door with his backhand, and then walked towards the house leaning against her.

    However, what Gilbert didn¡¯t expect was that just as he closed the door, a person suddenly emerged from behind the streetlight not far from the door.  The man walked quickly to the small building, wrote down the house number, and then left quietly

    Soon, this man came to the office of Major Vattel, the head of the German secret intelligence department. He said to Vattel: "Dear Major, I can help you capture a British spy, but I need money, and a lot of money.  "

    Watter looked at the wretched-looking Egyptian in front of him, and immediately felt a sense of disgust in his heart.  He didn't believe what the Egyptian said at all, thinking that the Egyptian must be here to defraud money, so he asked casually: "Is there anything you can do?"

    "I found a ship coming from London, and the people who came off were carrying a big suitcase with a radio station in it." The informer replied with a mysterious look.

    Wattel laughed loudly when he heard this: "Do you really think the British are as stupid as you said, and they still use fixed-style boxes to install radios?"

    Seeing that Vattel did not believe him, the informer patted his chest and guaranteed that as long as Vattel was willing to spend money, he could help them catch someone who was very interesting to them.  But even so, Major Wattel still didn't believe it and told him to leave quickly and not waste his time.  When the informant heard this, he immediately took out a dirty little notebook from his pocket, waved it in front of Vattel and said: "Aren't you looking for those British spies who have sneaked into Cairo? I just found one. I  You know where he is, the address is right here. If you go late and let him slip away, you'll be in trouble."

    Watter was dubious at first, but then he thought about it. The German army was attacking Cairo, but there was no progress in detecting British hidden spies. His boss had expressed dissatisfaction several times.  Wattel decided to take a look first.

    So, Watter personally led a team of secret agents and followed the informer to that place slowly driving towards the two-story building deep in the alley.  Sure enough, as soon as he entered that range, Major Wattel was like a hound smelling the scent of prey, which is the unique sensitivity of a spy.

    In order not to alert the reporter, Major Wattel ordered the car to stop 200 meters away from the target, and then led the secret agents to quickly surround the building.  Watter rang the doorbell himself.

    In a room with tightly closed curtains at the east end of the second floor, Captain Canteen Gilbert had finished sending the last set of telegrams and breathed a sigh of relief.  At this time, he took a cup of coffee from his girlfriend Joyner, put it on the table, and then held his girlfriend Joyner tightly in his arms.

    Gilbert was a captain in the Egyptian Army. During the Dunkirk evacuation, he came to the UK with the British and French forces. He was immediately hired by the Special Operations Committee and received espionage training.

    In order to avoid being discovered by the Germans, this afternoon I went to the home of my girlfriend who had been away for half a year.

    Captain Gilbert thought that his actions were secretive and would not be discovered, but he never expected that the unlucky big box betrayed him. This was also an oversight by the British intelligence agency.  This kind of special radio box is relatively common in London, but it becomes very conspicuous in Cairo.  As soon as Gilbert returned to Cairo, he was targeted by the informer who wanted to make a fortune.

    A sound of doorbell shocked Gilbert and Joyner's romantic dream.  It was like he was electrocuted? Pushed his girlfriend away, walked to the window facing the street, lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked out.  Gilbert's face suddenly turned pale.

    He saw the secret agents, but the terrible thing was that he couldn't get help from the British soldiers!

    When he returned to Cairo, he was already destined to rely on himself for everything.  No one could help him, especially in such a critical situation.

    Now, it is those German agents who are running rampant in Cairo!
