Major General Alerman made his own choice:

Evacuate Konravev!

In fact, this cannot be said to be a wrong choice. Under such an unstoppable attack by the German army, forcibly persisting will only cause more losses to the 8th Royal Irish Corps. Retreat can protect the living forces to the greatest extent.

But this retreat completely disrupted Montgomery's plan:

Win time to defend Cantala!

The German army successfully captured Konravev, and now they can attack Kantara directly!

In the second round of competition, Rommel beautifully won one round.

Montgomery knew the urgency of the current situation, so he rushed to the 8th Royal Irish Corps, which was retreating overnight. In addition to ordering the troops to stop retreating, he also summoned Major General Jasan with the most severe words.

Before the two of them had arguing anything, General Montgomery said in a serious manner:

"The responsibility for failure is entirely in the retreat of the 21st Indian Brigade"

Major General Jiasan became anxious and began to distinguish himself loudly, but Montgomery did not listen at all. Instead, he directly deprived Major General Jiasan of his position and asked someone to take him to Cairo for further investigation.

Montgomery actually knew the difficulties of Major General Jasan. How could he withstand the invincible Germans with the power of the Indians? But in the current situation, he had to sacrifice one person to stabilize the morale of the collapsed army.

Major General Jiasang is this victim

Sure enough, when Major General Jasan was taken down, Major General Alman showed gratitude on his face

"Now, our situation is very passive." Montgomery's expression was extremely serious: "The Germans' attack was fast and fierce. If they were left to continue to advance like this, Cantala's defense would not have time to complete General Alman. I need you to turn around and face the Germans now. Do you have the courage?"

At this time, Major General Alman was filled with gratitude for General Montgomery. He said loudly without hesitation every minute and a second: "General Montgomery, I will lead my soldiers to fight to wash away the shame!"

"Very good, General Alman!" Montgomery said with satisfaction: "The Germans will not be wary of it. I think your turnaround will definitely hit the Germans hard!"

"Yes, General!" Alman replied loudly, then turned and left.

The retreating Irish Corps stopped retreating, and under General Alman, they launched a resurgence of the pursuit of Germans.

Looking at General Alman's back, Montgomery sighed softly.

He knew very well that with the strength of the Irish Corps, he could not defeat the Germans at all, but instead had the possibility of the entire army being destroyed. But at this time this was his only way.

Use the sacrifice of the Irish to win the greatest time for Cantala

Sometimes in war, one has to make unscrupulous sacrifices

Sure enough, just like Montgomery predicted, the advancement of the Germans did not expect that the enemy would turn around and attack.

The German troops rushed to the front and soon fell into chaos under the sudden attack of the Irish people.

About one battalion of German troops was attacked by the Irish people and suffered serious losses. If the German commander had not had the battlefield experience that the Irish people could not reach, perhaps all the German troops in this battalion would have died here.

The Irish were completely desperate. They rushed to the German army in a frantically regardless of the enemy's fierce strafing.

The German vanguard battalion, like a small boat in the sea, could sink at any time. But at their most critical moment, the German follow-up troops successfully arrived at the battlefield under the personal command of Marshal Rommel!

The situation has been stabilized!

However, the Irish did not stop their attacks at all, and continued to launch the assault stubbornly and tenaciously.

Rommel could see at a glance why the enemy did this: "The enemy's commander was using the sacrifices of these people to delay our progress. But when we arrived in Cantala, the enemy's fortifications could have been initially constructed."

However, although he saw the enemy's intentions, there was no good solution. To reach Cantala, he had to deal with the almost crazy Irish people in front of him.

Rommel invested all the troops he could invest in, and while blocking the Irish attack, he launched a counterattack on the enemy.

Major General Alman was completely desperate to repay General Montgomery's kindness.

The combat power of such a general is quite amazing

Major General Alman rode in his command car and kept appearing in the most dangerous positions on the battlefield, bravely commanding his soldiers to fight with the enemy with the greatest enthusiasm for sacrifice.

The invincible German army on the battlefield is now in great trouble

The fighting enthusiasm shown by the enemy is unimaginable. Many positions have obviously been broken by the German army, but the survivors are still fighting with the enemy like crazy until there is no Irish on this position.

Rommel held the telescope and kept shaking his head. He had to admit that Montgomery succeeded.

Even if the entire Irish Corps was over, Montgomery still succeeded

Now, the British must be racing against time to repair Cantala's fortifications?

Subsequently, the main force of the 15th Armored Division arrived at the battlefield, and Rommel sent this elite armed force to the battlefield without any hesitation.

The two wings of the Irish Corps were cut off, the Irish Corps Central was broken through, and the Irish Corps was surrounded

But Major General Alman didn't seem to see all this, and he had only one purpose:

Buy as much time as possible for General Montgomery, and for this, he is ready to die here.

The attacks became more and more fierce, and the battles became more and more cruel, and this place turned into a terrible hell on earth.

The Irish corps fought less and less, and the casualties became more and more severe. When the battle reports were constantly sent to Alman, Alman only said calmly: "I am still here, and we can continue to fight."

Enough, this sentence is enough

The German commander also had a headache for this tenacious enemy. Victory was in their hands, but the German army still could not take this last step.

At 4 a.m., the situation finally improved. Most of the defensive positions of the Irish Corps fell into the hands of the Germans, and there were not many Irish people who could continue to resist.

But Rommel knew that he lost this time:

The British won the most important thing they defend Cairo:

time!

In this match between famous players and famous players, Rommel won the first game and Montgomery won the second game.

The battle between the two sides will continue, and it will only become more and more cruel.

The last moment for the Irish Corps is here.

A small number of troops were surrounded, and a large number of German troops drove past their flanks and penetrated directly into Cantala.

At this time, Major General Alman knew that he was powerless and could no longer continue to snipe the Germans.

Moreover, he also lost the possibility of breaking through.

4:30, Alman contacted the Germans and demanded surrender. Rommel accepted General Alman's request for surrender.

4:45, at the last point, the Irish put down their weapons and stopped resisting.

At this point, the 8th Royal Irish Corps was finished. Most of them died on the battlefield, and a large part of the remaining people surrendered, and only a few of them successfully broke through.

Rommel did not have the joy of victory, which was not a victory. Montgomery successfully used the sacrifice of the Irish to delay the German advancement.

However, when he saw Major General Alerman, he showed enough respect for this tenacious opponent: "General Alerman, I congratulate you for your hard resistance and the spirit of sacrifice that successfully won you time."

"Thank you, Marshal Rommel." Major General Alerman could not see any loser's frustration on his face: "I don't expect my troops to defeat you, but I've done everything I can to do to do this."

"No one does better than you," Rommel sighed: "Originally, we had arrived at Cantala and attacked the enemy at this time, but now we are still on our way to Cantala, and precious time has been lost."

Major General Alman smiled faintly, and pride emerged in his heart.

After a while, he asked, "Marty Marshal Rommel, do you think you can seize Cantala and Cairo?"

"What about your opinion?"

"I don't think so, General Montgomery is well prepared."

"I can't agree with this, General Alman." A smile suddenly appeared on Rommel's face: "You don't know what happened in Cairo, nor do you know who is commanding the entire battle. But I believe that we will definitely be able to seize Cairo this time and be firmly held in our own hands by the victory on the African battlefield."

Major General Alerman didn't know where Rommel got this confidence.

He believed that Montgomery would have a solution, and that he would not lose Cairo with the help of General Alexander.

But General Alerman would not have thought that the man who was commanding the battle in Cairo was Ernst Alexander von Breme!

The German God of War who had never tasted the taste of failure since they first set foot on the battlefield.

But these are not important. What is important is that in addition to Ernst Breme, there are two other people who are having a life-and-death battle, a showdown between famous generals:

Rommel vs. Montgomery!

Their showdown may be remembered many years later. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
