- Now, it's time for Wang Weiyi to do what he should do.
Farouk I is a very important pawn for the future German rule in Egypt. Such a person should not be allowed to continue to be controlled by the British.
In fact, Farouk I was unwilling to leave Cairo at all. Nearly half of his wealth was in this city. The greedy Egyptian king was not happy to give up even one pound.
But what can be done? His life is still in the hands of the British.
About a company of British soldiers were responsible for sending the Egyptian king and major ministers, including Farouk I, Defense Minister Emne and others, onto the "Yorkshire Princess" warship waiting in the port.
Reluctantly leaving his prince, Farouk I had no idea when he would come back.
Farewell, my beloved Cairo
The escort operation was extremely tense and top-secret. Roliman believed that his arrangement was very appropriate. He suddenly transported the Egyptian monarchs and ministers away without anyone noticing.
He even notified "Baron Andrew" to board the "Yorkshire Princess" and leave this terrible place.
But what Roliman never imagined was that "Baron Andrew" was already waiting for them on the road with a group of daring elite German commandos.
The convoy is coming
"Are you ready, Fritz?" Wang Weiyi turned around and asked.
"Ready, Baron." Klingenberg replied confidently.
The convoy passed slowly. When the first truck full of soldiers passed by, several explosions of "boom-boom-" sounded.
?Then the German commandos stood up together, and the submachine guns in their hands burst into a violent attack.
The British were in chaos. They jumped out of the truck and fought back desperately.
The unlucky guy in the first truck is always the unluckiest.
The explosion of explosives allowed some of them to survive, but when they stood up dizzy, they were quickly hit by fierce fire.
In little time, one-third of the British soldiers responsible for protection had been killed.
Terrified, Roliman took King Farouk, Queen Farida and some ministers and found a temporary place to hide in panic. About a platoon of British soldiers were responsible for protecting their safety.
But the firepower of those raiders was fierce, and they were all elite German commandos who had experienced hundreds of battles. These ordinary British soldiers were completely unable to stop their attacks.
The casualties are increasing rapidly
Several grenades were thrown out, and in the explosion, more than ten British soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
From the explosion to now, only more than ten minutes have passed.
And who is commanding these British people? Or the unlucky Lieutenant Colonel Lewis.
¡°Maybe Lieutenant Colonel Lewis was very unlucky. He led several operations and encountered Wang Weiyi and his Klingenberg accomplices.
The first time, Colonel Fels was rescued by these Germans. The second time, although the Klingenberg commando suffered heavy casualties, they still completed the breakout from his siege. Now, it is the third time, He was attacked again by the Germans
Lieutenant Colonel Lewis didn¡¯t think they could hold on for much longer. The attacking enemies had fast firepower and rich combat experience, and the soldiers in his hands simply couldn¡¯t resist them.
So when he saw the look in Mr. Roliman's eyes, Lieutenant Colonel Lewis shook his head helplessly.
His meaning is too obvious
Mr. Roliman sighed: "In that case, Lieutenant Colonel, let's end it."
Lieutenant Colonel Lewis also sighed helplessly, and then he ordered his men to stop shooting, and then reluctantly took out a white handkerchief and waved it constantly.
The sound of gunfire stopped in an instant
The raiders surrounded them from several directions. The British soldiers who gave up resistance threw away their weapons and walked out of their hiding places with their heads in their hands.
Mr. Roliman and Lieutenant Colonel Lewis were the last ones to come out. They protected King Farouk I, Queen Farida and the main Egyptian ministers.
But when these people saw the German commander commanding the elite German commandos, they were completely dumbfounded.
Baron Andrew, this man is actually Baron Andrew
God, why is it him? How could it be him?
Mr. Roliman walked over and looked at his "old friend" helplessly.??": "Germans? "
Wang Weiyi smiled and nodded.
"Can you tell me who you are?" Mr. Roliman asked reluctantly.
"Ernst Ernst Brahm."
¡ª¡ªSkeleton Baron!
Mr. Roliman was completely stunned. Even if he could turn back time, he still didn't want the Skeleton Baron to dare to appear so arrogantly in the capital of a hostile country.
Wang Weiyi¡¯s eyes first fell on Farouk I: ¡°Your Majesty the King, I am looking forward to playing another card game with you. Of course, before that, you must return the pocket watch you stole from me.¡±
King Farouk I smiled awkwardly, but at this time he felt lucky. Anyway, Baron Andrew, no, the German Baron Alexson at least had some "friendship" with him, so he might not have to worry about his life.
Then, Wang Weiyi's eyes fell on Queen Farida: "As for you, Queen, I think I once said that people who do wrong things will always be punished. Have you done something wrong?"
Queen Farida¡¯s face turned red instantly. She seemed to think of that night that she didn¡¯t want to remember, but she always secretly imagined that she might be able to do it again.
Nothing can stop the Germans. Cairo is gradually under their control.
When Wang Weiyi launched an assault on the Egyptian King's convoy, the army commanded by Rommel also launched a general attack on Cairo.
General Montgomery¡¯s situation was extremely passive. He not only had to deal with the German attack from the front, but also had to deal with the challenges from the Egyptians and mutinous soldiers behind him.
He knew that he had no chance of victory. Everything he was doing now was just fulfilling the duties of a British general.
He had actually received an order to retreat long ago, and Royal Navy warships were waiting to pick him up, but General Montgomery refused to escape alone.
He wants to be with his soldiers, whether alive or dead. This is the only thing he can do now.
He began to order the evacuation in batches of those troops whose supervision was still intact, leaving as many effective forces as possible for the British.
Obviously, large-scale evacuation is impossible, and it exceeds the carrying capacity of the Royal Navy, and there are still continuous bombings by the Germans in the sky.
So General Montgomery, while using naval transport, ordered his troops to open a gap in the German siege and evacuate Cairo, a city that would soon no longer belong to Britain.
Rommel also made a very smart decision not to forcefully intercept the enemies who forced their way through.
This decision is not wrong. What Germany wants is Cairo, not killing more enemies.
Moreover, the enemies who break out can also allow the Germans to reduce their resistance to capturing Cairo.
Under Rommel¡¯s deliberate arrangements, some Allied infantry successfully completed the breakout. Of course, the heavy weapons had to stay in Cairo.
When he saw that the gap had opened, Montgomery ordered the 571st, 572nd, and 573rd Royal Field Engineer Companies, the 1st Royal Engineer Squadron, the 10th Army Signal Corps, the 2nd Norbert Land Rifle Regiment and other troops to break out.
When more than half of the British troops completed the breakout, Rommel, who had achieved his goal, decisively ordered the gap to be encircled.
Now that the enemy's strength has been greatly weakened, the Germans have little resistance to seizing Cairo.
The German offensive intensified again
In fact, Montgomery fully knew the opponent's intentions, but he just wanted to use Rommel's calculations to let as many troops break through as possible.
This is the only thing he can do at the moment.
Rommel and Montgomery, two unparalleled generals, used every trick on the battlefield, no matter under favorable or unfavorable circumstances.
The German offensive is in progress, and the Allied retreat is also in progress.
When the British once again asked Montgomery to leave Cairo immediately, Montgomery sent the most important telegram in his life:
"I will not leave my combat post while there is a British soldier in Cairo."
Regardless of victory or defeat, this is a commander worthy of respect.
However, Brother Meng is already helpless.
He persisted until the 16th. The German army completed many breakouts and it was impossible for the Allied forces to stop the German attack.
At noon on the 16th, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel personally called General Montgomery and asked him to lay down his arms and surrender. However, General Montgomery flatly refused.
"A true British officer will never surrender." This was Montgomery's answer to Rommel.
"A stubborn British man, but I admire him." Rommel, who received a helpless reply, shrugged: "Tell the soldiers to capture him alive as much as possible instead of harming his life."
This is a kind of sympathy, no matter what their respective positions are.
They respect each other, and on the battlefield, the best respect is to defeat your enemy, not so-called sympathy. Sympathy is worthless in war.
Now, Rommel decided to tell Montgomery in a true military way: I have great respect for you, and now, I am here to defeat you!
At 2 pm on the 16th, the German army¡¯s final attack on Cairo began!
This will also be the last battle on the North African battlefield! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
