Cunningham ran, and ran without hesitation. www.biquge.info Although he is not as cunning as the old treacherous, he is cunning and calculating...... The admiral Kan Anning is so magical, but in the running word duel, the use of that is called a perfect fire.

After detonating various facilities in the harbor and reducing the port throughput of Matroux to a near-zero level, the Australian 6th Infantry Division retreated, and the retreat did not hesitate.

He ignored Churchill's requests, and left with his men without a single blockade at Matruh.

The Germans captured Matroux on 11 September, again with almost no shots fired. The British army retreated to El Alamein in one fell swoop, and then stopped its retreat.

Rommel, who had occupied Matroux, also had no supplies for the offensive, and he could only watch as the British transferred a South African division to North Africa to strengthen the defenses of the Australian 6th Infantry Division.

The current German army no longer has the ability to continue to attack to the east, although they still have an advantage in numbers, but their material consumption is too much.

Most of the supplies along the way had to be transported by vehicle from as far away as Tripoli to the front line, and the remaining ports could only supply some much-needed supplies.

Before the port of Matruh was rehabilitated, before Benghazi was expanded, before Sirte was fully utilized...... Rommel's forces were left on the defensive in Matru.

The only good news was that the British would not be able to continue to increase their troops in Egypt anytime soon, as German and Italian intentions to invade the Balkans became more and more apparent.

Historically, the British Indian 4th Infantry Division, which supported the Balkans, had been wiped out in North Africa by Rommel's counterattack, so now Britain has little ability to reinforce the Balkans.

"Shoot here! Right! Over here! I'm going to take a picture of the port of this port of Matru! "A reporter is directing his men to set up professional cameras.

On the other side, reporters who deliberately came from Benghazi and Tripoli were squandering their films.

The Germans captured Matru and pushed the British forces back to El Alamein, which was almost the most glorious moment in Rommel's history in North Africa.

So, also as in history, his offensive was affirmed by the command of the German Army.

Field Marshal Brauchitsch personally issued an order for the promotion of Rommel, promoting Lieutenant General Rommel to the rank of General of the German Army!

Goebbels also seems to have found a way to defeat the British will to resist at this moment, and he intends to concoct a triumphant album about North Africa, just like Selum!

First, he had printed leaflets about the German occupation of the Nira in West Dubai, ready to be thrown to British civilians the next time he stopped bombing London.

Now, the journalists who are busy with their work, whether it is Italian journalists or German journalists themselves, are all coming to collect materials.

They wanted to use clearer photographs to capture the German occupation of Matruoy, and then let the British take a closer look at how far they had failed in North Africa.

"Be clear! Right! There are also anti-aircraft guns dropped by the British on the sea, all of which must be shined into it! The reporter carefully looked at everything around him and commanded.

The small city of Matruh, to be honest, is not much different from the West Dubai Nira, it is nothing more than a larger urban area.

At that time, Egypt was not as good as it is now. In the entire North Shore port, there is nothing more than Alexandria.

As for how the logistics and supplies have been improved after the German occupation of Matroux, it is really a fool's dream.

The throughput of the port of Matru, which was already about the same as that of Tobruk, has now been reduced to the level of Bairdi after the destruction of the British themselves.

Therefore, the German and Italian armies received less supplies here than Bairdi's.

Fortunately, the German army was much smaller in numbers than it had been in the history of the offensive, and this time, the British navy did not dare to go to the trouble of the Italian navy to supply the fleet as often as possible.

After all, there is an island of Malta across the sea, and the Luftwaffe fighter unit stationed on it is not a joke.

Because the Malta nail was pulled out by German paratroopers, the land and sea routes from Tripoli to Benghazi were safe.

This also allowed the Germans at the front to receive a lot more supplies - but this was only a little more, and it did not support their attack on El Alamein.

"You guys! Right! Mess up their clothes a bit! To be more miserable. Seeing that the reporter was about to take a photo, the German officer on the side began to cooperate.

His soldiers were guarding 40 British prisoners captured from the West Dubai Nira, who had been ordered to retreat last, but were unfortunately blocked by German armored reconnaissance units.

Standing next to an armored reconnaissance unit's Sdkfz222 armored car, seven or eight German soldiers in neat uniforms, holding their iconic Mauser 98K rifles, struck a dashing pose.

Unlike the German North African army that actually fought, although these German soldiers wore shorts, they wore M35 steel helmets, which looked more "model" of the German army.

Compared with those combat troops covered in yellow sand, these soldiers who are responsible for posing for photos are much cleaner, and the parts are relatively more complete.

They had protective boxes with gas masks, bayonets and other parts hanging from their bodies, and even deliberately chose two with the Iron Cross of the Second Degree......

"Isn't it more casual to hold a cigarette...... I mean, more relaxed. A reporter asked his colleagues while gesturing his hand into a picture frame.

The colleague next to him frowned, shook his head and said: "The Führer doesn't like to smoke, and if this photo is selected in the newspaper and the Führer is unhappy when he sees it, things will not be cleaned up." ”

"You're right! It's that I'm not thinking it through. The reporter who came up with the idea nodded, and silently wrote down the words of his predecessor in his heart - this is all experience! What a valuable experience!

"But you're right, you should embellish it!" Although the leading reporter rejected the idea of smoking, he still agreed with the young reporter's words.

He stretched out his hand, pointed to the nearest soldier, and said, "Sir! Take off your water bottle and make a drink! Right! Thank you! That's good! Naturally, be natural! ”

The soldier picked up his water bottle, unscrewed it, shoved the empty bottle into his mouth, and put on a look of intoxication.

Behind him, two German soldiers, leaning against an armored vehicle, pointed the muzzles of their rifles at the ragged British prisoners.

Although there were not many captives in the distance, they could only obey the arrangement, standing there honestly, and putting on an expression of their own dead mother.

After all, there are more guns and eyes in the distance, and they can't help but cooperate. They held their heads in their hands and looked at the German soldiers who were "escorting" them with embarrassed eyes.

The people on both sides were actually embarrassed, on one side were the German soldiers who had not fought in the groom, and on the other side were the "beggars" who had been captured by another group of "beggars".

Because of the angle chosen in the photo, this is a team of only 40 British prisoners, and because there is no end in sight, it seems boundless.

"Is this necessary? It's good to take photos with normal soldiers, shouldn't taking pictures be about capturing the most wonderful moments? Rommel looked at his men who were busy in the distance, and at the unnatural British captives, and said to the adjutant.

He likes to take pictures because he likes to record real moments, rather than deceiving people with fake pictures like this.

"Sir! After all, it is a propaganda war, and it is necessary to make some appropriate exaggerations. The adjutant leaned into the dirty car and replied to Rommel with a smile.

Compared with the soldiers taking pictures from afar, even Rommel's image at this moment is not good--he killed all the way from Bairdi to Matru, but all the way in the wind and sand.

"There is a tank repair shop here, and although it has been destroyed, there are many facilities left." An officer came over and threw his gloves into the back seat of another convertible car.

This officer, with the rank of lieutenant general, was the commander of the 21st Panzer Division, General Carl Boucher, who had just arrived at the front.

He was an anxious man, and as soon as he came to the front, he went to see the tank repair factory on the front line, although it was called a factory, but it was just a "workshop" with a roof.

"These Englishmen left nothing behind, but there were some seats and benches in the maintenance ditch that they didn't take with them...... It's kind of a little conscientious. As he spoke, he flashed a pair of goggles from his hand.

"The one I just found in the repair shop, left in a corner, is much more beautiful than the one you carried on your head." Lieutenant General Karl smiled and pointed to the goggles above Rommel's head and said.

Compared with Rommel's goggles, which are no better than the lenses on the gas mask, the Englishman's goggles are obviously high-end and high-grade.

The goggles were cut from a single piece of plexiglass, looking sleek and just the right size to hang in front of the high protrusion of the German military cap.

In this era, plexiglass is still a high-tech material used in the cockpit canopy of aircraft, and it is obviously a luxury to use a piece to make goggles, so Rommel liked it very much at first sight.

Taking the beautiful goggles from General Karl Boucher and looking at them on his hat, Rommel smiled with satisfaction: "This is really a good thing, give it to me, are you willing to give it?" ”

"I've just arrived at the front, and I've just heard that you've been promoted to general by Field Marshal Brauchitsch! I didn't bring any decent gifts, so I congratulated you! General Carl Boucher smiled and pointed to the goggles.
