- The German spies operating in Cairo are doing their best, and similarly, the German soldiers are also doing their best to capture this historic city.
The two sides have been fighting here for more than 24 hours, but no one can win quickly.
The German army had a slight upper hand, but it was still far from enough to capture Cairo. The Allies' firm determination and defensive tenacity to defend Cairo were extremely tenacious.
However, Erwin Rommel didn¡¯t seem that worried. Until now, the German army still has a secret weapon that has not been used:
Ernst Brahm!
He is in Cairo, and the effect he can achieve is unimaginable
The tanks roared loudly there, the soldiers shouted loudly there, everything was intertwined, turning Cairo into a flesh and blood mill.
Countless lives were involved and then mercilessly crushed into powder
"The air force, artillery, and navy, any force that can participate in the war, are all devoted to the war. The sound of gunshots is like the death bell from hell, constantly bringing lives one by one into the endless darkness.
War is so cruel
Montgomery was doing his best to resist the attacks from the Germans, and General Alexander was also doing his best to extinguish the rising waves of uprisings in Cairo.
If it were in normal times, the uprising would have been put down long ago, but unfortunately, now is a special period. Instead of quelling the uprising, it has intensified.
When the two sides started a life-or-death struggle, Wang Weiyi finally found his helpers: two commandos commanded by Klingenberg and Myrister.
It came just in time!
Some of the people were left to protect the safety of General Canlemu, while the rest were reorganized into the Skeleton Commandos to follow the Skeleton Baron's actions in Cairo.
Everyone is extremely excited. They have fought with the Skeleton Baron more than once, and it has brought them countless glory.
Now, I can make a grand entry in the book of glory.
On November 15, the Battle of Cairo entered its most brutal stage. On that day, the German army launched multiple assaults, and the Allied forces blocked the German attack at a heavy cost. After every offensive and defensive battle, what was left on the battlefield were broken parts of tanks and shocking corpses.
The efforts of the German army were not in vain. They tenaciously captured several major positions, posing a great threat to the Allies. Montgomery also launched several counterattacks in a timely manner in an attempt to recapture these key positions, but The attacking Allied forces also suffered fierce sniper fire from the Germans.
Both sides are risking their lives to fill this battlefield.
When night came, the artillery fire not only did not stop, but became more intense. Assault teams from both sides were constantly dispatched to attack each other.
Every time a conflict ends, the scene is always so horrific that the smell of blood and corpses fills the air, almost making people vomit after smelling it.
Bloody strangulation, bloody killings and never-ending death threats
Every position and every corner on the battlefield is so terrifying. No one knows whether he will die in the next minute. It all depends on God¡¯s will.
Since the beginning of mankind, war is the most cruel "invention"
And while Montgomery and the troops under his command were fighting hard, something unexpected happened. The 6th South African Armored Vehicle Regiment decided to launch a mutiny as agreed.
This is a mutiny that can change the course of the war!
At 11 o'clock that night, the 6th South African Armored Vehicle Regiment, the 25th, 27th, and 31st Engineer Companies quietly gathered together. Weapons were distributed to all soldiers and a mutiny was underway
In order to ensure that everyone can do their best, the white officers promised the blacks of the engineer company that as long as the mutiny could succeed, all of them would be free, and those who performed particularly well would also be rewarded with land.
Freedom and land are the two things that black people value most.
For them, the justice of war has nothing to do with them. They need to use their performance on the battlefield to win things for themselves and their families that they never dared to think about before.
11:15, the mutiny finally occurred
With the Allies unprepared, the South African Army launched a surprise attack on the 69th Heavy Air Defense Regiment of the 9th Group Army. During this raid,The 9th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment suffered heavy losses, about 300 soldiers were killed, and they lost all their artillery.
Then, the South African Army, which did not pause at all, quickly launched a surprise attack on the 2nd Light Air Defense Regiment.
The Allies are in chaos!
The sudden rebellion of the South African Army stunned General Alexander, who was commanding in Cairo. What is even more frightening is that the South African army, which is well aware of the internal situation of the Allied forces, began to try to attack the British high command.
At this time, all General Alexander had in his hands was only one rifle battalion and the 570th Royal Engineer Company.
The South African Army began to attack, attacking their former commander!
They took advantage of the armored vehicles to forcefully break through the British defenses. Then the black engineers braved the opponent's intensive firepower and began to carry out explosion operations one after another.
The British army desperately blocked the enemy's attack. If it weren't for their bravery and perseverance, General Alexander might have become a prisoner within ten minutes after the war started.
General Montgomery, who was commanding at the front line, was also horrified after learning the news of the mutiny, and hurriedly dispatched the 12th Household Cavalry to reinforce General Alexander.
But the Royal Cavalry was blocked by a battalion of the South African 6th Armored Vehicle Regiment.
General Alexander¡¯s situation is already precarious
The rifle battalion in his hands suffered heavy casualties. All the peripheral fortifications were destroyed by the South African army, and the remaining defenders were forced to resist in a very small fortification.
Subsequently, Wang Weiyi, who learned the news, immediately asked General Canlemu to issue an order calling on all Egyptian rebels to fight to aid the South African army.
This order was issued too timely. Just before this, Montgomery deployed the 9th Queen's Lancers and the 7th Motorized Brigade to reinforce the headquarters. It was impossible to stop it with just one South African battalion.
At this time, a large number of Egyptian rebels appeared, and they quickly joined the battle and blocked the British.
The British, who were able to get through the blockade at a glance, are now in big trouble again
Time is everything to the British. With every minute that passes, General Alexander becomes more dangerous.
But the reality is that Cairo is now in chaos. More and more Egyptians appeared in the position to snipe the British, almost completely surrounding the place.
The British had no way of storming in.
At this moment, General Alexander really can no longer hold on.
Nearly all of the 570th Royal Engineer Company were killed, and there were less than 200 men left in the rifle battalion. Those South Africans who participated in the attack were very close to the goal of capturing General Alexander alive.
Under such circumstances, General Alexander was left with only two options: surrender or die heroically.
After careful consideration, General Alexander chose the latter. The soldiers can no longer bleed!
At 0:50 in the morning on November 16, 1942, General Alexander, the commander of the British forces in the Middle East, finally ordered those soldiers who were still resisting to lay down their weapons and surrender in the face of the sudden mutiny.
General Alexander, the nominal supreme commander of the British forces in the Middle East, became a prisoner.
The mutinous South African soldiers burst into thunderous cheers.
After receiving the news, General Montgomery sighed helplessly. Perhaps his fate was not very good. In the battles he commanded, emergencies of one kind or another would always occur, leaving all his All efforts are in vain
Wang Weiyi also got the news, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
With the surrender of General Alexander, only General Montgomery is left struggling to support himself. If the enemy who is still resisting can be defeated quickly, the entire situation in North Africa and even the entire direction of the war will change.
Victory is no longer far away from Germany
The massive fuel resources in the Middle East will bring endless benefits to Germany. From then on, Germany no longer had to worry about fuel shortages.
Italy? Ah, yes, Italians always think that Africa is their hereditary territory, but who cares about the feelings of Italians now?
If they perform well, they may be given some leftovers after the Germans enjoy their feast.
At this time, the situation in Cairo was irreversible for General Montgomery. The failure in North Africa would force the British to carry out those operations in accordance with Wang Weiyi's wishes.Follow-up.
The initiative is in the hands of the Germans
Of course, now Wang Weiyi has to do one thing. His "old friend" Faruk I is about to escape. This is the message Mr. Roliman sent to "Baron Andrew" not long ago.
It probably never occurred to Mr. Roliman that "Baron Andrew" actually has another identity:
Baron Alexson! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
