Redemption of WWII

Chapter 130 IX Lost

Major General Guingamp, chief of staff of the British Eighth Army, fled Cairo with his new commander, General John. [] Along the way, Xiaoxing ran to Alexandria port as if he was desperate for food and drink.No, it needs to be corrected here, it should be starving and driving tired.

In the past, these two people had suffered such a crime, and John Jiang's foot injury could not be healed, and the form was getting worse. The foot that was just like a bread turned out to be more and more swollen.However, General John was also a soldier, so he endured the pain and remained silent.Fortunately, Major General Guingamp had the habit of carrying whiskey with him.Although high-strength alcohol can't heal the pain, it still has some analgesic effects.

The jeep is galloping in the desert. It is said that it is galloping, but in fact, it is not bad at the fastest speed of 10 kilometers per hour.This is not the tarmac motorway in the UK, where you can run 60 yards in an hour.This is the great desert of Egypt. It is said that it is a road, but in fact it means that the terrain is slightly flatter, and the road is paved with a layer of stones. It is strange that vehicles can run fast on such a road.But even such a road is already a good road in the Egyptian desert.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, in the great desert, it is the level of running two horses to death.

In this way, Major General Guingamp drove more than 100 kilometers in one breath in his bumpy jeep.But there were some minor problems, and Guingamp had to stop the car.What's the problem.It really made Liu Qi's crow's mouth say that the jeep was out of gas.

Running out of gas made Guingamp anxious. According to the distance, there are dozens of kilometers to Alexandria.It's a pity that Major General Guingamp's luck seems to be good. Not long after his car broke down, a caravan of camels appeared in the desert next to the kilometer.After some haggling, Major General Guingamp finally exchanged the jeep that had run out of gasoline for two camels and some food and fresh water.

Immediately, Major General Guingamp took General John and started the journey again.The camels that grow in the Sahara Desert are all very unique dromedary camels, which almost made John General embarrassing to death. In the end, Guncamp had no choice but to tie John General to the back of the camel with the camel rope.In this way, little by little, they headed towards Alexandria.

It is very reasonable for the camel to be called the ship of the desert. It kept moving forward without eating or drinking. Although the speed was so high that it did not dissatisfy Major General Guingamp, there was really nothing to do in this situation.

In this way, the distance of less than 60 kilometers was forced to be ridden by two people on camels for a day and a night.By the time the British army set up a checkpoint outside the city, General John was almost dead.Leaving aside the pain and torment on his feet, the smell of the camel almost killed John.

The British soldiers at the checkpoint outside Alexandria were also very surprised when they arrived at the two.What the hell are these two guys in military uniforms and stinky bodies doing, are they spies for the Germans?But even if you are a spy, you don't need to make yourself smelly?

Fortunately, John still carried his ID with him. When the soldiers of the British army realized that this dying soldier turned out to be their biggest boos in Africa, they were taken aback.He quickly called the headquarters of the Alexandria city defense.

The people in the headquarters thought that Jiang himself was here to inspect the defense here, and he was immediately terrified.People, big and small, rushed to this checkpoint to meet General John.

The British troops in the Alexandria City Defense Command did not know General John, but they did recognize Major General Guingamp.As the Chief of Staff of the Eighth Army, Major General Guingamp is also one of the most powerful figures.Seeing his new commander and chief of staff in such a mess, everyone present had a bad feeling.

It was John General who had passed out, and everyone hurriedly sent him to the hospital here regardless of the smell on his body.Then everyone invited Major General Guingamp to the command post here.

After arriving at the command post, Guingamp did not take a shower, first sent a telegram to the wartime cabinet through the naval radio station that Cairo had fallen, and then assembled the Alexandria troops non-stop to prepare to take back Cairo.However, in the telegram to Churchill, Guingamp did not dare to mention that Liu Qi occupied the Cairo headquarters and forced John to order the British army to withdraw from this section of Cairo.Gan Gang is not an idiot, Gan Gang understands very well that the sedan chair is carried by everyone, losing a battle is not terrible, what is terrible is that if he is accused of being a foreigner, it will be serious.

Guingamp just telegraphed that the Germans had attacked dozens of kilometers west of Cairo, and John had no choice but to send the Cairo defenders to fight against them. As a result, Cairo was attacked by the German troops, and John would take all the troops to fight. After a tenacious resistance, after hitting the last ball.John will have to withdraw from Cairo temporarily.Unexpectedly, we encountered a German tank unit on the road. Our army and the German army had a fierce battle. John will be seriously injured and finally unconscious.As a last resort, our army had to temporarily retreat to Alexandria.

Anyway, the contents of these telegrams are both true and false, and it is difficult for real tactical experts to tell what is wrong.

Guingamp's telegram was, so to speak, hype.It was obvious that General John jumped from upstairs and sprained his ankle while escaping. The telegram in Guingamp turned out to be an encounter with a German tank unit and he was seriously injured.And I ran all the way from Cairo to see an Egyptian caravan, but I have never seen anything.And the word "Our Army" used in the Guingamp telegram is also very worthwhile.No one will be equal, "our army" can only be Major General Guingamp and General John.

However, Major General Guingamp was still not at ease.No matter how loud the telegraph is, Cairo is still lost.Losing Cairo, the throat of the British Empire, is not so easy to escape responsibility.Going to jail is not necessarily a bad thing.

Guingamp, awaiting a call back from the War Cabinet, assembled the troops of the Eighth Army in Alexandria.

Alexandria is one of the most important overseas military ports of the British army.In the war between Britain and France, Napoleon once defeated the British team here.Britain's emphasis on Alexandria is also ranked first except Cairo in Egypt.In order to defend against the attack on the road, the troops of the 2 divisions of the Eighth Army were placed here.In addition, it is also the headquarters of the Royal Navy's Land Sea Fleet.It is also an important supply place for the British army in Egypt.It can be said that the location here is quite important.

Major General Guingamp quickly mobilized an infantry unit of a division defending Alexandria, and directly issued the order "Retake Cairo at all costs."

By the time the British infantry division armed with heavy artillery started to set off from Alexandria, the telegram from the British wartime cabinet had already been sent to Guingamp.The telegram also expressed great dissatisfaction with the fall of Cairo, and then strictly ordered Guingamp to immediately organize troops to regain control of Cairo. As for John, who was injured and unconscious, the Eighth Army troops were temporarily under the command of Major General Guingamp.The telegram also stated that the Royal Navy could cooperate with Rear Admiral Guingamp's actions.In addition, the Marine Corps of the Navy in Alexandria was temporarily under the unified command of Rear Admiral Guingamp.Anyway, the meaning of the cabinet is just to recapture Cairo immediately.

Major General Guingamp was well aware of the situation in Cairo, and no large German troops arrived in Cairo at all.It was still a good thing that the small army that had sneaked into the Lehman German Army did.Not to mention a heavily armed infantry division, even a regiment and a battalion would probably be able to kill that nasty squad.However, Major General Guingamp didn't want people to reveal this, and quickly transferred a ground artillery brigade and 9000 Royal Navy marines from the troops defending Alexandria to join the team to recapture Cairo.

This time, Major General Guingamp personally led the team to Cairo.Guingamp secretly vowed in his heart that he would capture this German squadron alive, and then shoot those officers who tortured him with his own hands.Especially the guy who Bibi Wai Wai keeps saying those disgusting medical terms.

On the way, Major General Guingamp soon fell asleep in his command vehicle.It's no wonder that fleeing for two consecutive days and two nights without sleep a wink would not be easy for anyone, let alone a high-ranking British general like Guingamp.

Major General Guingamp slept soundly this time, and the bumps and bumps of the command vehicle could not affect Major General Guingamp's sleep quality at all.With the bumping of the vehicle, Major General Guingamp had a dream, in which he finally defeated the German army in Cairo after hard fighting.Then he led the British troops to sweep the German troops in Africa.In the end, Rommel, the commander of the German army, was captured alive at the headquarters of the German army.Then Rommel returned to the UK with his fruits of victory, and accepted the field marshal's badge personally brought to him by the king at Buckingham Palace.Then I participated in a huge banquet with only young women and myself.At the banquet, all the young and beautiful noble ladies played kss with themselves one after another.And I reluctantly asked those chicks if they brushed their teeth at night.

Gan Gang, who was in the middle of his dream, suddenly felt someone calling his name.The dazed Guingamp opened his eyes.Only then did Guingamp realize that he was dreaming.Guingamp hurriedly turned over and got up from the camp bed of the command vehicle.However, Guingamp was a little puzzled when he found that there was an extra boot next to his pillow, and there was still a lot of saliva on the boot.But soon Guingamp suddenly realized, and said to himself, "I said, why do I always ask those chicks if they have brushed their teeth in my dreams? It's because of my feelings."

Major General Guingamp hurriedly put his boots on and asked the officer who had woken him up. "what time is it now."

"General, it is already 4 o'clock in the afternoon." The officer of the British army replied hastily.

"Oh, it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Come on, I slept for a long time. It's a full sixteen hours. Hey, it's because I'm too tired recently. But why do I feel so hungry. Hurry up Let me eat something," Guncamp said.

"General, you have slept for 40 hours. We called you three times but didn't wake you up. We had no choice but to let you continue to sleep." The British officer said embarrassingly.

"40 hours. Did I really sleep for such a long time?" Major General Guingamp asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, we're all so worried. Seeing that you haven't woken up, General, I thought there was something wrong with you."

"Hehe, it's nothing, just I was too tired a while ago. I haven't slept for several days. There is nothing wrong with my body." Gan Gang said with a smile.

"That's good, but can I ask you a question, General?" the officer said hesitantly.

"If a big man wants to twitch Nini, just say what you have to say." Major General Guingamp is now the direct controller of the Eighth Army.The obvious temper is a lot bigger.

"What is that? General, I want to ask you a question. Do you know the way to Cairo?"
