Redemption of WWII

Chapter 150: The End of the Battle

Liu Qi hurried back to Cairo, but when he first arrived in Cairo, he was almost killed by his own cannon. 【】The reason is simple, Rommel hit Cairo.

Rommel was so excited that he almost bit off his tongue when he received the news that his troops had occupied the command headquarters of the British army, Lehman, which had made him fall into the sand.But soon Rommel received the news that Liu Qi was not there, Lehman, but took people to attack Cairo.This news made Rommel so angry that he almost broke his marshal's cane.

Rommel said in his heart, "Andrei, you young master, you really don't worry about me. I tried my best and almost cut off my back. I just wanted to rescue you. But you went to Cairo to make trouble again. No, don’t you think that the weapons of the British in Cairo are all made of tofu, so if they can’t kill you, it’s something.”

Rommel was very angry, but then Rommel learned of the battle report sent back from the front again.It turned out that the British there had already surrendered before their own troops attacked the headquarters of the British army, Lehman.To be precise, it was surrendered to a small unit of the African Legion.

At this point, Rommel couldn't help but fell into deep thinking. Rommel knew how abnormal the official affairs of the British Army Command were.At the beginning, Rommel led an army of [-] and carried out an attack here for a month, but except for the loss of soldiers and generals, Rommel made no progress at all.Although there were far more British troops here than now, Rommel still couldn't imagine how the official affairs of the British army, which could not be dealt with by his own heavy artillery, were occupied by Liu Qi and his people.

From this, Rommel felt a bit of luck in his heart, maybe this young master Yangzi with a very deep background really had some amazing way to make the British surrender by themselves.So Rommel changed his plan to rescue Liu Qi with all his strength, and he had to change it.Because there are more than a dozen British troops with different numbers in the tens of thousands of square kilometers of desert from Libya to Egypt, these are all heavily equipped infantry units.These British troops stuck in Rommel's throat like a fishbone, making Rommel restless.

Rommel changed the combat order, planning to eliminate these British troops first and then talk about the rescue of Liu Qi.The large-scale armored group of the British Eighth Army no longer exists, so Rommel is not afraid that someone will copy his back.He immediately mobilized all the troops to attack the British army, but for some reason, his own armored troops couldn't get in touch with anything.This left Rommel, who was good at commanding sports operations, without a sharp knife.

In desperation, Rommel had to devote all his Italian troops to the battle with the British.In fact, if Rommel's armored forces can be contacted, Rommel only needs to quickly divide the infantry units of the British army, and then destroy the British troops one by one.But things backfired. Rommel, who wanted to solve the battle quickly, had no choice but to let his troops start the oldest battle of the two armies against the British army.

Even if you don't move in the desert, people will not be very comfortable, not to mention carrying out offensive military operations every day.It can be said that the battle at this time is a test of will for the soldiers of each side.But no matter how hard he attacked, Rommel just couldn't break through the British defense lines.

So the offensive war turned into a stalemate. After paying a huge price, Rommel's African Army could only confront the British army in this arid desert.Of course, after using all means, the British retreat was also blocked by Rommel's troops.

During these heart-wrenching days, Rommel consciously tugged at his hair with his hands every day, making the already few hairs on his head more eye-catching.It can be said that Rommel, who fought in this battle, was extremely depressed.But in such a mess in front of him, Rommel has nothing to do.

When the battle progressed to No. 17 days, the situation finally turned around.The troops above the British line suddenly surrendered.Rommel was completely puzzled by the occurrence of this situation, but Rommel only learned about it later.It turned out that the British ran out of fresh water.

When the British troops first crossed the death minefield set by Rommel, fresh water was still quite adequate.It is enough for the entire army to use for half a month, and even a week can allow all officers and soldiers to take a hot bath.But with the loss of logistics channels later.These soldiers of the Eighth Army never received a drop of fresh water.

Soldiers were initially given five pints a day, equivalent to two and a half liters of fresh water.In addition to drinking, every British soldier can even have the luxury of moistening a towel with water to wipe his dust-covered cheeks.But the ration of fresh water dropped from five pints to two in less than two days.This made the British soldiers living on the island finally realize the preciousness of water.But that was not all, and after two more days the two pints of fresh water were reduced to half a pint.

What a half-pint of water can do, for those of us used to tap water, is probably nothing more than a toothpaste-laden mouthwash in the morning.But these became the source of all the drinking water for British soldiers for a day in the hot desert.Many soldiers of the British Army suffered from diseases due to lack of water.

Every morning when the sun rose, it was a test for every British soldier still alive in the trenches.Of course, the fresh water guarantee for the officers of the Eighth Army of the British Army is still very sufficient. Ordinary officers will get five pints of free water every day to make those refreshing coffee.And those senior officers are even bathing in precious fresh water.

Of course, not all British troops are like this. There are many British officers who evenly distribute the water they get to each of their soldiers.Because they regard those soldiers as their brothers.

Therefore, after seventeen days of long and arduous fighting, the last fresh water of the British army was exhausted.So the commanders of the British army who often bathed in fresh water issued an order to surrender to Rommel. This decision won the unanimous praise of all their soldiers.

In this way, the 21 British Eighth Army finally put down their weapons except for less than two divisions that broke out from the encirclement.Rommel also finally let go of the poor hair on his head because of the surrender of the British army.

But the icing on the cake came one after another. After seventeen days of hard work, one hour after the British surrendered, the armored troops who had been missing for more than ten days were also contacted by the headquarters.Hearing this dumbfounding news, Rommel even wanted to slap himself twice.

After more than ten days of hard work, Colonel Luther of the 101st Armored Division finally arrived at the area where the Leopard tank group led by his academy mentor, Major General Sith.And finally filled up the fuel for his mentor's tank by himself.

After his student came to refuel himself first, Major General Sith temporarily let Colonel Luther go by a yard.Because he was still thinking about competing with other colleges.Major General Sith didn't say anything, and directly directed his Leopard tank unit to continue to attack like Cairo.

Facing the more than 2 British troops blocking in front of him, Major General Sith did not rush up in a daze, but chose to go around the defense line of the British troops and attack from the rear of the British troops.

After Colonel Luther ordered his subordinates to refuel the mentor's troops, he did not dare to direct his subordinates to follow the mentor.The reason is very simple, there are still many Panther tanks parked here without fuel.Although these Panther tanks did not belong to his own command, Colonel Luther refueled these tanks.Because Luther knew that the commanders of these tank groups were all comparable to his mentor, Major General Sith. Major General Sith could stand against them, and Colonel Luther could not afford to offend these people.As long as Colonel Luther is still planning to spend a day in the armored force.

However, the other three Panther tank units did not seem to express their gratitude too much after getting the fuel.Just a few vice principals called Colonel Luther, and then said, "You are very good."

In fact, the three major armored academies are already on the verge of anger at this time, and of course they are resentful towards their follow-up troops.This time, being stepped on by Sith was entirely due to the procrastination of these idiots.All these tank commanders are very angry.After being refueled, the tank commanders vented their anger on the British troops defending opposite them.

Soon the commanders of the three colleges completed the action of encircling the British troops on three sides. Of course, the British troops were followed by the Panther tank unit led by Major General Sith.

No one gave the order to attack together, but the commanders of the four colleges gave the order to attack almost at the same time.After more than ten days of peaceful defense, those British troops finally met the attack of their long-awaited enemy.

The British troops who were attacked on all sides didn't know how to write the word "regret" until the first round of guns started to explode.Those British artillerymen who were blown up by the covering fire of the Leopard tank group before they had time to fire were turned on their backs.And other small anti-tank weapons are useless in front of the Panther's sloped armor.

In less than two hours, the [-] British troops worked so hard to build the official business for more than ten days, but it was riddled with holes by a group of German Panther tanks.In the end, these British troops wisely chose the glorious career of captives.

So far, there is no longer an organized British army in the entire African continent.Of course, the British soldiers in those prisoner-of-war camps do not count.

After Rommel heard the news, without further ado, he led his troops to Cairo, the city he had dreamed of for a long time.

But when Rommel finally arrived in Cairo with his troops, he got a news that made him even more headache.Andre took people to attack the Suez Canal of the British army.

Rommel, who got the news, felt that he was completely defeated by Liu Qi, and he could be regarded as completely convinced by this young master Yangzi who gave him a headache.Rommel couldn't help asking himself in his heart why he always wanted to save this young man.But this young master Yangzi can eventually cause even bigger troubles for himself every time.

After days of fighting, plus normal marching.The entire army is utterly fatigued.Rommel had no choice but to let his subordinates take a rest first, and then prepare to continue to send troops to catch the young master Yangzi who always made trouble for him.Yes, Rommel decided to catch Liu Qi and give this young man a hard fix first.

But Rommel had just sat on the chair, and the stool was not yet warm.Just to the east of Cairo came a cannon fire.
