Eight hundred and fiftieth IX rushed into Cairo
Among all the commanders, Rommel is definitely bold and unconventional. On the battlefield in Europe, Rommel has experienced the great power of blitzkrieg, and in North Africa, he must also give full play to this advantage!
To be fair, Rommel's action this time is dangerous.
Rommel left behind the long logistics supply line and directly charged with the tank troops. If a British army cut off his logistics line, he would be very uncomfortable.
It can be said that Rommel's advancement is a bit risky and desperate to take a bet, but looking at every advancement in Germany in recent years, almost every advancement in Germany has been the same risk.
The German army was like a gambler, but they were lucky and every time they were right!
The Italian division is no longer a noodle army. Their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved and their fighting will has been completely renewed. Therefore, it is very difficult for the British army in Alexandria to break through.
Since the main force of the British army is in Alexandria, taking advantage of the situation, it is the advantage of the tank troops.
Rommel stood on his Black Panther 3 tank and watched his troops advance.
Montgomery guessed it well, he set out at night.
They were hiding during the day and rushing to the night. They did this not because they were afraid of British attacks. Cairo was almost an empty city, and the garrisons in the city could not stop Rommel's attack at all.
Rommel was afraid that the British king would run away.
He rushed straight to Cairo, just to make a great contribution. In London and in the British land, his army did not capture George VI, so he asked him to come to Egypt. At that time, Rommel had this idea and captured George VI!
As long as there is no George VI and Churchill, British resistance will be gone. As the legal king of England, Edward VIII would rule the huge Britain and the colonies.
This battle is for future stability, and it is worth taking some risks!
Although it was at night, for them, just like during the day, they were walking on flat ground, and now the moonlight was quiet, and you could see that it was dozens of meters away. At the same time, even if it was pitch black, they also had advanced night marching and combat equipment such as infrared headlights.
"We will walk for another hour and we will be able to reach Cairo." Spreading the map and looking at the signs above, Rommel's assistant Lorraine Zihofen said.
It is only more than twenty kilometers away from Cairo. If they start at full speed, it will only take half an hour. Now, they have to move slowly. They have to control all the traffic routes in Cairo, they have to control the various bridges on the Nile River, and they have to ensure that the entire Cairo is blocked, which requires slow action.
Rommel nodded: "Yes, we are only one step away from success. Now, let's take this last step."
"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge explosion sounded from afar.
This voice made Rommel stunned: "Damn it! What's going on?"
This explosion will expose his troops!
Soon, a more intense exchange of fire sounded in front of him, and the reports on the radio came soon.
"A Egyptian army was found ahead, and the scale is not yet clear, and it is in exchange for fire with the Egyptian army."
Egyptian army!
As a colony, Egypt was once colonized by many countries. Now, it is a British colony, and Britain itself has not had a large population. Therefore, in order to maintain its rule, there are also troops under British rule in Egypt.
However, Egypt's own army was also very weak, so in the battles some time ago, the British army was on the front line.
But now, Rommel is quite unsuccessful and actually collided with an Egyptian army.
This Egyptian army was too unsuccessful. They were just a second-line force. They were ordered to station in Giza and guard the western gate of Cairo. As a result, they had just been mobilized and encountered the main armored forces of Germany!
If they knew nothing and obediently became prisoners, it would be fine. However, after they arrived in Giza, they deployed a post on the road to inspect passing vehicles and pedestrians.
According to the above meaning, in this case, deserters may appear and pour into Cairo, or civilians may fleeing. If they all pour into Cairo, it will bring problems to Cairo's public security and will be even more unfavorable to the morale of the army.
On the other hand, of course, it is to prevent the infiltration of German agents. The king, the prime minister and others came to Cairo. The Germans would definitely come to assassinate and arrange various posts, which at least makes the infiltration of Germans more difficult.
However, they never expected that as soon as the post was set up, a tank came to smash the ground!
After all, it was dark night, and both sides didn't see it very clearly. After the tank troops on the front discovered that there was no time to set up obstacles on the road.
They were also seen by the opposite side. In an instant, the Egyptian army on the opposite side threw the grenades.
Yes, their intuitive reaction is to throw grenades! The grenades can fly over a distance of dozens of meters, and at the same time, they have no other anti-tank weapons!
When the grenade exploded, the German tank soldiers were not vague. They stepped on the accelerator and rumbling up, crushing the Egyptian soldiers who were blocking the front into meat paste and knocking the barricades.
This time, they were exposed at the same time.
"Full speed, go ahead at full speed, call me to Cairo!" Rommel's voice came from the radio: "Room into the Farooke Palace and capture George VI alive!"
Since it has been exposed, let’s do it happily!
After receiving the order, all the tank soldiers started to go crazy.
The driver opened the hatch door above his head and exposed his head, under his feet, the accelerator to the bottom.
Two bright headlights at both ends of the tank were also turned on. Anyway, they had been exposed, so they just broke the can and gave up.
Although there is a night vision device, it is better to use infrared headlights and photoelectric tubes to observe. After all, it is better to use the headlights directly, and visible light is better. Tanks and engines rumble, and they rushed towards Cairo, the capital of Egypt, with lightning speed!
Now, they only need to compare speed. The occupation of Cairo is not a success. Only by capturing George VI and his wife and capturing Churchill alive can it be considered a perfection!
This night is destined to be thrilling!
The city center of Cairo, the palace, was twenty minutes later when the news came.
Chapter completed!
