Redemption of WWII

Chapter 48 Chaos

That night Liu Qi lived in the palace of 'Saladin' Fort. 【】As a symbol of the Egyptians, this is the first time that outsiders have stayed here.Of course Liu Qi is not an outsider to the Great Elder of 'Amur'.Because Liu Qi is the messenger of God, neither Liu Qi nor the Great Elder 'Amur' is clear about the specific god.But it does not prevent Liu Qi from pretending to be a magic stick, because God is simply too mysterious under the cloak of religion.Every ruler will use the guise of religion to conceal his real purpose, and it has been tried and tested.Because people don't need to know the truth, and sometimes they don't want to know the truth.They would rather believe the gorgeous lie than face the bitter truth.

For this aspect of the artifice, 'Amur' elder can be described as proficient. More than 80 years have already made the great elder of 'Amur' into an old fritters.He is well aware of any problems, and doesn't take it seriously at all to cover up Liu Qi's identity.No one is willing to question the words and actions of the Great Elder 'Amur', and no one is willing to object.Because 'Amur' is not only a great elder in the pope, he is also a descendant of 'Saladin'.Against the 'Amr' Great Elder, this is simply a blasphemy against 'Saladin'.

So no one in Egypt will object, not even the British, because 'Saladin' has a great reputation. 'Saladin' is not only a hero of Islam, but also a model of chivalry in the West.In memory of this romantic hero, the King of Prussia presented a sarcophagus to the tomb of Salah al-Din in Damascus.The descendants of such a hero, the United Kingdom, of course respect them very much, so the elder 'Amur' will be exempted from inspection in Cairo.Even the soldiers of the British army would salute 'Amr', which was actually a salute to the hero 'Saladin'.

The family of the Great Elder of 'Amr' is the direct descendant of 'Saladin' who is recorded in the direct line, and that is also a figure in the history textbook.The other elders of the Nine People are some branches of the descendants of 'Saladin', and they are all figures who cannot be included in the family tree.So 'Amur' will be called the Great Elder.The status is higher than the other nine elders.

Let's not mention how Liu Qi spent the night tossing and turning.Just talk about poor Meng Ge.

Moment before the headquarters of the British Eighth Army in Alamein was occupied, Meng Ge escaped from the camp in a hurry with his Chief of Staff Guingamp, his stepson and several guards, and ran back to Cairo overnight.The more than 200 kilometers in the desert are not running on the road, not only the bumps are severe, but also have to keep detours.Coupled with the fact that the sky was dark and the moon was covered by dark clouds, it was impossible to run fast on the road.It was not until the afternoon of the second day that we dilly-dally arrived in Cairo.

At this time, Meng Ge didn't know that his headquarters had been captured, and his deputy chief of staff and intelligence minister had already been taken prisoner.Meng Ge also did not believe that the Germans could capture 'Ah Lehmann' in one day.Yes, without the support of heavy weapons, it is impossible for anyone to deal with those reinforced concrete permanent colleagues.So the first thing Meng Ge did when he arrived in Cairo was to order to contact the headquarters of 'Ah Lyman', but no one answered.So Meng Ge ordered his subordinates to keep in touch, and they must contact the headquarters.Then Meng Ge took a shower and ate something.

To be honest, rushing back to Cairo from 'Ah Lehman' this time really exhausted Meng Ge.No one would feel comfortable sitting in a bumpy car for 20 hours in a row, let alone Meng Ge, who is already 55.After taking a bath, Meng Ge took a nap on the bed, and this short rest lasted only two hours.But these two hours left a deep impression on Meng Ge for the rest of his life.

By the time Meng Ge rejuvenated and walked into his reserve headquarters in Cairo, it was already dark again.Meng Ge discovered that the highest officer here turned out to be a lieutenant.The other senior officers didn't know where they went.Even Guingamp was gone.Regardless of being angry, Meng Ge directly said to the officer, "Where is everyone, where is Major General Guing Gang?"

"General, it's dinner time now, and all the officers have gone to the restaurant for dinner. Major General Guingamp also just left." The lieutenant replied respectfully.

"Oh." Meng Ge's face improved a little.Then he asked, "Have you been in touch with 'Ah Lyman'?"

"Report to the general, we haven't been in contact yet, but Major General Guingamp ordered us to keep in touch. We will notify you as soon as we have news."

"Is there any report from the troops on the front line, and how is the progress of the battle?" Meng Ge asked again.

The lieutenant of "this" was obviously a little hesitant.Because the communications of the front-line combat troops are all directly in touch with the 'Ah Lyman' command.For the sake of confidentiality, the British army did not disclose the combat results to the outside world before the command.It is impossible for others to understand the real situation on the battlefield.The purpose is to find appropriate solutions for some special cases.In addition, although they have a level 2 password to contact the frontline troops, no one can contact the frontline without the order of the chief.From this point, the rigidity and rigidity of the command system of the British army can be seen.

However, seeing that the captain didn't answer, Meng Ge knew it well and didn't ask any more questions.Instead, he stood blankly in front of the giant map in the hall.

Meng Ge has always relied on the accuracy of intelligence to ensure victory in wars.As a professional soldier who has been in the army for decades, Meng Ge deeply understands the truth of "knowing the enemy, knowing the enemy, and winning a hundred battles".But the past few days have been too chaotic. First, the Indians ran out of curry and refused to go to the landmines.Then the Italian navy was dispatched to attack the US transport ships.As a result, the ground sea fleet that had blocked Rommel's transportation line had to go to pursue it.Is this obviously a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain?

What Mengge couldn't accept the most was that the Desert Air Force, which was originally assigned to the Eighth Army, was involved in a battle belonging to the ground, sea, and air forces.Although they are all for the purpose of attacking the transportation lines of the German and Italian coalition forces.But the Eighth Army without the air force's joint operations is like a tiger that has been pulled out half of its teeth, and its power is greatly reduced.

However, these are still acceptable, at least Rommel will not have an air force anywhere.In addition, the battle report Meng Ge received earlier mentioned that Rommel's tanks are already few left.So Meng Ge boldly ordered his armored mechanical soldiers to attack Rommel's troops.But according to Ah Lehman's situation, it is very likely that Rommel dug a hole for these troops to get in, and it is not good now.

Although the headquarters could not be contacted.Meng Ge is very sure that the headquarters will not be in danger for a while.But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.I don't know why, Meng Ge has an ominous omen in his heart, and his eyelids are always twitching.Although Meng Ge knew that this was the reason for not having a good rest.

Now that Meng Ge has no information from the front line, he can't judge the situation of the battle at all.The feeling of darkness in his eyes made Meng Ge very uncomfortable.Thinking of this, Brother Meng became ruthless. He had no choice but to use this backup headquarters to contact the frontline troops.No matter what you say, let them stop attacking. As long as the troops and tanks are still there, Rommel doesn't need to fight first.Although the level of secrecy here in Cairo is not high, and the information will leak out soon, it doesn't matter so much.In addition, troops have to be sent to reinforce the troops of 'Ah Lehmann', which is also very important. The key is to find that nasty German squad, catch them all, and shoot them all.

Thinking of this, Brother Meng didn't hesitate any longer, turned to the lieutenant officer and said, "Lieutenant, you go and find all the officers in the headquarters immediately, whether they are eating or sleeping, or whether they are on duty or not."

"Yes, General," the lieutenant agreed, turned around and ran out.

It didn't take much time, the officers of the reserve command all rushed into the war room.Gan Gang walked to Meng Ge's side and looked at Meng Ge suspiciously.

Meng Ge also said directly to everyone without explaining, "I announce the following orders in the name of the supreme commander here: 2. Immediately send an armored regiment to 'Ah Lyman' to assist the original command staff to eliminate enemy infiltrators. Two, before the contact with 'Ah Layman' is resumed, the reserve headquarters currently uses a level 24 communication code to directly contact the frontline troops. Three, all directly subordinate and staff officers are on call [-] hours a day, and are not allowed to rest until the battle situation is clear. Four , Increase the vigilance of the Cairo area to prevent our intelligence from being stolen by enemy spies. Fifth, report to the chief of staff, Major General Guingamp, no matter what happens. That’s all, you take action immediately.”

Everyone hurriedly followed Meng Ge's instructions to issue orders.Not long after, an armored regiment from Cairo headed towards 'Ah Lyman'.The two military-level command posts on the front line were also contacted. According to the battle situation sent back, all troops have progressed smoothly after breaking through the minefield.However, the information from the military-level command post is not the latest battle situation.It was a report on the battle situation of various divisions and brigades on the front line a day ago.And all the troops are on the way to attack and march, and the communication is not very smooth.

"Immediately contact the frontline troops directly. I want to know the specific situation. Whether Rommel is fleeing or retreating in an organized way, and also directly order the various armored units to stop attacking, wait for the infantry to catch up, and start attacking after covering." Mongo said.

"Yes, General." The combat staff officer replied.

At this time, there was a loud noise from outside the headquarters.A staff officer hurried in from the outside, "It's not good, General."

Seeing that panicked officer, Meng Ge, was furious, and reprimanded loudly, "Why are you panicking? Did the Germans come over? You still look like an emperor."

The staff officer quickly stood at attention and said loudly, "General, just received the latest battle report from the front. Both the 75st and [-]th Armored Divisions encountered the elite German armored forces. There was a fierce battle, and the German tanks were different from the German tanks they encountered before. , The firepower was astonishingly fierce, all the [-]mm guns were fired, and our army suffered heavy casualties."

The news pierced directly into Meng Ge's heart like a sharp sword.Suddenly, all the strength in Meng Ge's body was emptied.Meng Ge sat down on the chair with a bang, his eyes were blank.Seeing this, Chief of Staff Guingamp quickly handed a glass of water to Meng Ge, and then said to the staff, "Order all the troops on the front line to immediately turn to defense on the spot and stop the German counterattack at all costs."

At this time, another staff officer ran in and shouted loudly, "It's not good, General."

This time it was Major General Guingamp's turn, and he reprimanded him just like Meng Ge just said, "What are you panicking about? Did the Germans come over? You still look like an imperial official."

This time the staff officer argued loudly, "No, General, it's the wind."

"What wind?" Guingamp asked in confusion.

"There was a sandstorm outside, and the visibility was very low. The troops we sent to reinforce 'Ah Lyman' were all trapped in the sandstorm. Due to the impact of the sandstorm, our communication with the frontline troops was also cut off."

"Then hurry up and think of a way, and what to do there." Gan Gang was also a little anxious.

At this moment, Meng Ge stood up and walked to the balcony outside the headquarters.I saw that the sky and the earth west of Cairo were only a cloudy yellow, and the wind was surging.At this point, Meng Ge's heart felt hot, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.With a bang, his body fell to the ground.
