Five hundred and ninety-two. South African Army

The German spies operating in Cairo are doing their best, and the German soldiers are also doing their best to seize this historical city.

The two sides have been fighting for more than 24 hours here, but no one can win quickly.

The German army had a little advantage, but it was not enough to seize Cairo. The Allied forces' firm determination and defensive tenacity were extremely tenacious.

However, Erwin Rommel seemed not so worried. So far, the German army still had a secret weapon that had not been used:

Ernst Bryme!

He is in Cairo, and the role he can obtain is unimaginable

The tanks roared loudly there, the soldiers shouted loudly there, and everything intertwined, turning Cairo into a flesh-and-blood mill.

Countless lives were involved, and then mercilessly crushed into powder

The air force, artillery, and the navy all forces that can participate in the war were devoted to the sound of gunfire, just like the death bells from hell, constantly bringing life into endless darkness.

War is so cruel

Montgomery was doing his best to resist the attacks from the Germans, and General Alexander was doing his best to extinguish the uprising in Cairo.

If it were normal times, the uprising would have been pacified, but unfortunately, it is a special period. Instead of quelling the uprising, it has become more and more intense.

When the two sides were fighting for life and death, Wang Weiyi finally waited for his helper: the two commandos commanded by Klingenberg and Myristel.

It came too timely!

Some were left to protect General Kanlemu's safety, while the rest were reorganized into Skeleton Commando to follow the Skeleton Baron's actions in Cairo.

Everyone was extremely excited. They had fought with the Skeleton Baron more than once, and they brought them countless glory.

Now, you can write another note in the glory book

On November 15, the Battle of Cairo entered the most tragic stage. On that day, the German army launched many assaults, and the Allies blocked the German attack at a heavy price. After each offensive and defensive battle, the battlefield was left with broken parts of tanks, which were shocking corpses.

The efforts of the German army were not in vain. They stubbornly seized several major positions, posing a great threat to the Allies. Montgomery also launched several counterattacks in a timely manner, trying to retake these key positions again, but the Allies in the attack were also subjected to fierce sniping from the German army.

Both sides are filling the battlefield with their lives.

When night came, the artillery fire not only did not stop, but became more and more intense. Assault squads from both sides continued to dispatch and attacked each other.

Every conflict, the scene after the end always makes people so terrible that the smell of blood and the smell of corpses in the air, almost making people vomit after smelling it.

Bloody strangulation, bloody killing never ends with death threat

Every position and every corner on the battlefield is so scary that no one knows whether it will be themselves who die in the next minute. It depends entirely on God's intention.

Since the existence of humanity, war has been the most cruel "invention"

Just as Montgomery and the troops under his command struggled, unexpected things happened that the 6th Armored Vehicle Regiment of South Africa decided to launch a mutiny as agreed.

This is a mutiny that is enough to change the trend of the war!

At 11 o'clock that night, the 6th Armored Vehicle Regiment of South Africa and the 25th, 27th, and 31st Engineers Company gathered quietly. The weapons were distributed to all the soldiers, and the mutiny was in progress.

To ensure that everyone can do their best, the blacks who were white officers who promised the engineering company that as long as the mutiny was successful, all of them would be free and perform particularly well, and would be rewarded by land.

Freedom and land are the two things that black people value the most.

For them, the justice of war has nothing to do with them. They need to use their appearance on the battlefield to win things for themselves and their families that they had never dared to think about before.

11:15, the mutiny finally happened

The South African army launched a raid on the 69th Heavy Air Defense Regiment of the 9th Army without any defense. During this raid, the 69th Heavy Air Defense Regiment suffered heavy losses, about 300 soldiers were killed, and they lost all their artillery.

Then, the South African army, without any pause, quickly launched a surprise attack on the 2nd Light Air Defense Regiment.

Allied forces are in chaos!

The sudden rebellion of the South African army made General Alexander, who was commanding in Cairo, stunned. What was even more terrifying was that the South African army, which was well aware of the internal situation of the Allied forces, began to try to launch an attack on the British Supreme Command.

At this time, General Alexander could only control one rifle battalion and the 570th Royal Engineer Company.

The South African army began to attack and launched an attack on their former commander!

They took advantage of the armored vehicles to force the British fortifications, and then the black engineers braved the dense firepower of the opponent and began to carry out explosion operations one after another.

The British army desperately blocked the enemy's attack. If it weren't for their bravery and steadfastness, General Alexander would have become a prisoner within ten minutes after the war began.

General Montgomery, who was commanding on the front line, was also shocked after learning about the mutiny and hurriedly dispatched the 12th Royal Cavalry to reinforce General Alexander.

But the Royal Cavalry was blocked by a battalion of the 6th Armored Vehicle Regiment of South Africa

General Alexander's situation is already in danger

The rifle battalion he had in his hands suffered heavy casualties, and all the fortifications on the periphery were destroyed by the South African army. The remaining defenders could only be forced to resist in a very narrow fortification.

Afterwards, Wang Weiyi, who learned of the news, immediately asked General Kanlemu to issue an order to call on all Egyptian uprisingers to fight to aid the South African army.

This order was issued too timely. Just before that, Montgomery dispatched the 9th Queen's Lancers and the 7th Motorcycle Brigade to reinforce the command. It was impossible to stop relying on a South African battalion.

And at this moment, a large number of Egyptian uprisings appeared, and they quickly entered the battle and attacked the British.

The British, who were about to be able to break through the blockade, are now in great trouble again

Time is everything to the British. Every more minute, General Alexander, who was struggling to persevere, became more dangerous.

But the reality is that Cairo is now in chaos. More and more Egyptians appear on the British positions, almost surrounding the place where there is no room for trouble.

The British had no way to raid in.

At this moment, General Alexander really couldn't continue to persevere

Almost all of the Royal Engineers Company were killed in battle, and only less than 200 people were left in the rifle battalion. The South Africans who participated in the attack were very close to the goal of capturing General Alexander alive.

In this case, General Alexander had only two last choices: surrender or a heroic death.

After careful consideration, General Alexander chose the latter. The soldiers could no longer continue to bleed!

At 0:50 am on November 16, 1942, General Alexander, the commander of the British Army in the Middle East, finally ordered the soldiers who were still resisting to lay down their weapons and surrender in the face of the sudden mutiny.

General Alexander, the nominal commander of the British Army in the Middle East, became a prisoner.

The South African soldiers in the mutiny burst into thunderous cheers.

General Montgomery, who received the news, sighed helplessly and said, perhaps his fate was not very good. In the battle he commanded, there will always be sudden situations, which will turn all his efforts into a flowing water

Wang Weiyi also received the news, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With General Alexander's surrender, only General Montgomery is still struggling to support him. If he can quickly defeat the enemy who is still resisting, the entire situation in North Africa and even the direction of the war will change.

Victory is no longer far from Germany

The large amount of fuel resources in the Middle East will bring endless benefits to Germany. From then on, Germany will no longer have to worry about fuel tension.

Italy? Oh, yes, Italians always think that Africa is their hereditary territory, but who will worry about the feelings of the Italians now?

If they perform well, then maybe they can give them some leftovers after the Germans have a big meal.

At this time, General Montgomery's situation in Cairo was irreversible. North Africa's failure would force the British to carry out the follow-up work according to Wang Weiyi's wishes.

The initiative is in the hands of the Germans

Of course, Wang Weiyi still has to do something now. His "old friend" Farouk I is about to escape. This is a message that Mr. Roryman brought to "Baron Andrew" not long ago.

About Mr. Roryman would never have thought that "Baron Andrew" actually has another identity:
