Someone reported the trick between the Egyptians and the British to Guderian, and he immediately understood, but he did not think that Ramsden could run away. Facing the map, he quickly came up with a solution: while sending troops to quickly take over the city defense and letting the air force in, he instructed the troops to pursue them separately.
The attack unfolded in an jaw-dropping state, with three armored divisions advancing south quickly, almost all the way with the retreating British troops - nothing more than the British were on the water and the Germans were on the land.
Soon, Ramsden tasted the pain of being chased.
On January 17, Guderian's main force arrived in Aswan, and the plane set out from Aswan to attack the British retreat troops in the Nile. General Ted's desert air force had no power to fight back, so he could only watch the German army unilaterally attack its own troops. On that day, the British lost 2 ships and more than 900 people were killed;
On January 18, the African army quickly drove southward. The British army in the Nile lost three ships and more than 1,200 people were killed. In addition, the German planes also accidentally attacked some Egypt and normal cargo ships between Sudan. The Nile was suspended from sailing across the Nile, and only the British retreat fleet continued;
On January 19, the vanguard of the African army crossed the dividing line between Egypt and Sudan, and was in Wadikhalf, where the British army gathered. This was the only way for the British army to break away from the Nile waterway and board the Sudan train to continue to flee south. There was only one battalion, and only the German reconnaissance troops with armored vehicles launched a fierce attack on nearly 10,000 British troops, killing the opponent's corpses everywhere and were devastated. All British troops just wanted to seize the road and fled, and no one was willing to stay to block the German attack. Until the Australian, New Alliance arrived, with only light weapons, arrived and barely blocked the German army with simple machine guns, rifles and few mortars. The casualties cost up to nearly 2,000 reads;.
On January 20, the main German troops arrived. Due to the lack of fuel and logistics supply, the army was trapped in Wadihalefa, but the harvest was still not small. The ANZA coalition guards were arrested and more than 2,000 were killed and killed. Two British retreat trains were blown up, and more than 3,000 casualties, even two colonels.
In just a few days, the British, Australian and New Zealand coalition forces, which fled from Aswan one after another, lost nearly 10,000, and fell directly from more than 30,000 people at the time of departure to more than 20,000. Whether it was the Australian, New Zealand or the British, their morale fell to the bottom. They were still 900 kilometers away from the Sudanese capital Kasmud. In later generations, this journey from Aswan to Kasmud was called the Blood Road. After the German army chased and killed them, they successfully retreated. The sick and wounded Allied officers and soldiers did not end up exceeding 2,000, and most of them fell before dawn.
Eisenhower once thought that the African army would be trapped on the Sudan border due to the constraints of supply and fuel, but the Germans used inland transportation to perfectly solve the dilemma: the fleet of supplies, fuel and Egyptian infantry divisions rushed south from Alexandria and Cairo. Whether it was ships or fuel, the supplies were the trophy left by the British in Alexandria. With the help of these materials, by January 21, the African army received continued supplies, and the next idea was clearer-the African army would advance south along the banks of the Nile and attack Kasmus.
