"Boom!" The huge explosion came from the outside. The soil on the roof kept falling down, and the people in the room seemed to be used to it, turned a blind eye and studied the situation carefully.
"During this time, the Germans have driven the Italian soldiers to attack us six times." Lieutenant general nori said.
When they retreated to Alexandria, the advantage of the soldiers was shown. After all, they were many. Now that so many troops gathered in Alexandria, they could even fight in the position in rotation. Even they could fight a counter charge once or twice, which made the Germans suffer.
Although the Germans surrounded the outside, Alexander is a port. At night, transport ships will secretly dock to bring them supplies and take the injured soldiers away. In this way, their combat here is still very comfortable.
Everyone knows that it is useful for them to stick to it. After all, they are waiting for backup.
However, the Germans did not seem to be in a hurry, so they had been deadlocked.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now we have to think about why the Germans did this?" In Montgomery's mind, the tight string is telling him that it's not a good thing that the Germans don't attack now!
Montgomery's words calmed everyone down. Sometimes they just don't want to think about it.
"Will the Germans bypass our Alexandria and head for Cairo?" Finally, someone said it.
Because the inland is a desert, the German army can only attack and occupy the port continuously along the way, so as to save the terrible long logistics supply.
There are many mechanized troops in the German army, which have greater demand for logistics. Only after they capture Alexandria can they use it as a logistics base and continue to occupy Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
This is the view of almost everyone. They stick to Alexandria, which is the consensus.
But what if this judgment is wrong?
In other words, the German army does not intend to use Alexandria as a springboard, but directly run hundreds of miles to attack Cairo?
If it was just a hunch a few days ago, the Germans have been beating and stopping here these days, which can explain the problem.
"However, our reconnaissance plane did not find any special circumstances!" A general said: "on the road from Cairo to Alexandria, there are not a large number of German armored forces advancing."
"Our reconnaisance plane is only reconnaisance during the day. What if it's night, German? If the Germans have been feigning here these days, they may be able to rush to Cairo tonight. " Montgomery continued to analyze: "everyone, I only know that we were ready for a bloody battle, but our battle has not been cruel in the past few days, which has explained the problem."
The impact of the German tank force is very strong. If the Germans rush forward without fear of sacrifice, Alexandria must go through a hard battle!
But now?
There is no hard struggle. Every day's battle is a small fight. Like now, there is no dense artillery!
If the Germans really wanted to attack the city, the battleships on the sea would have started and shelled at close range! It's not like they haven't done this before!
The abnormal performance in recent days finally made Montgomery make this bold, terrible inference that no one is willing to accept.
The Germans are heading for Cairo!
Montgomery's words made everyone present look serious. Everyone knows that Cairo is now an empty city. If the German armored forces really go to Cairo, they have little possibility of counterattack.
Cairo may fall quickly.
In particular, his Majesty the king, the prime minister, and some senior officials successively transferred from Britain are all in Cairo!
What? What?
"So, I suggest that we withdraw immediately and can't wait any longer!" Montgomery said, "when night falls tonight, we will immediately take a transport ship, leave Alexandria and return to Cairo!"
During the day, it was the world of the German air force. Although Britain occasionally took off reconnaissance aircraft, it was also secretly touched. Once discovered by the Germans, it was often shot down.
It is safe only at night, and so is the transport ship. If it is during the day, I'm afraid more than half of the casualties will be paid. As long as a transport ship, the dark Stuka, is found, it will fly over.
Although the periphery was surrounded by German and Italian troops, it was no problem to sneak away from the sea.
Hearing Montgomery's words, many people stopped talking.
Now, just relying on an inference and without any practical evidence, it is unreasonable to retreat!
However, since Montgomery came, it has at least saved the precarious situation, and Montgomery's judgment has hardly been missed.
Therefore, the following people still believe in Montgomery, or more importantly, it is enough for someone to command and someone to take responsibility.
If you want to retreat, retreat.
"Tonight, the second division of South Africa will be left to guard Alexandria, and the other troops will leave by boat!" Montgomery thought about it and continued to add: "if you can't take the equipment, you can leave it to the second division of South Africa."
We can't wait any longer. We must retreat quickly and break through the siege on land. It's very difficult. It's more suitable to go on water. Some heavy equipment, such as tanks, may not be taken away for the time being. At least people should go first. No matter when there are people and soldiers, there will be hope.
Equipment, you can continue to get it from the United States!
Montgomery made the withdrawal only by his own judgment and intuition, and his judgment was incredibly accurate.
A village near Giza, west of Cairo.
The origin of any civilization must have water. All civilizations were born near rivers.
For example, in Egypt, the ancient civilization developed along the Nile River. There are more and more villages near the Nile River, which is the main population gathering area.
After breaking through the alaman line, the British army retreated to Alexandria, which made Rommel feel very excited. Montgomery was stupid!
Almost without hesitation, Rommel made a decision to leave the Italian army and a German infantry division to besiege Alexandria and make an attack, while the main armored division turned to the South and went straight to Cairo, the capital of Egypt!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
