At this time, it was too late for Rommel to turn around and turn back, but he did not do so. Instead, he tried to continue charging in the darkness. This was actually getting deeper and deeper into the trap. Facing Rommel's attack, the 7th Armored Division pressed

Plan to attack and retreat. The German army advanced another 7 miles in the trap. Rommel ordered his armored forces to make a predetermined left outflank movement to the north, where Montgomery had already deployed the 2nd Armored Brigade.

Rommel did not know that there was an ambush there. Led by several modified Mark 4 tanks, the large group of tanks formed a terrifying formation, like a snake curled up ready to bite, and slowly entered

The ambush circle of the 22nd Armored Brigade. Major General Roberts gave the order and all tank guns and anti-tank guns opened fire at once, catching the Germans by surprise.

Under heavy blows from the British army and due to fuel shortages, Rommel was forced to stop using tanks.

So they ordered a retreat and quickly retreated to the minefield they had passed through earlier, preparing to defend this area.

On the 3rd, the British army, under the command of Montgomery, began to launch a counterattack. Montgomery rejected all requests for "tank attacks..." and actually prohibited Horrocks from continuing to pursue the enemy and occupy the Himaimat Heights. He

He said that Rommel should keep an observation post there so that the German army could see all the deceptive measures he had taken to prepare for the next battle. This allowed Rommel to quickly gain stability. By August 7, the Afrika Korps was already at

In the Battle of Alam Halfa, the German army lost about 2,000 people and 4a tanks and armored vehicles; the British army lost 700 people and 67 tanks, of which 3 "Grant" tanks could still be repaired. The British army
