The battle for the mnichish to supply somewhere is over.

The British lost 83 men and the rest were taken prisoner, including their commanders, Lieutenant Colonel Bon Ammons and Vispenck.

Despite some minor twists and turns, the battle went relatively smoothly, and the Chinese soldiers captured this important supply base at a very low cost, with only two casualties.

But Wang Ding's interest seems to be completely off the base. He did not give any order to blow up the base, except for the soldiers to guard the captives and make the necessary supplies.

He brought Lieutenant Colonel Bon Emmons and Lieutenant Colonel Wiesbunk into his office, and Klingenberg remained with Lieutenant Colonel Bon Ammons Versbunk.

"Lieutenant Colonel Vespenck, I think it's time for us to talk." Wang Ding's tone was very relaxed: "It's time for us to talk about Mr. Q." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Vespenck's face changed dramatically. "Mr. A" is a great secret, and how did this Chinese in front of him know about "Mr. Q"?

"No, Mr. Colonel, I don't know what Mr. A is." Visbunk denied it.

Wang Ding was not annoyed: "Lieutenant Colonel Vispenck, I hope that we can be frank and friendly with each other, although you are now a prisoner, this does not prevent you from enjoying all the rights of prisoners." You'll all be released after we've completed our mission, but only if you tell me Mr. A, when you'll be here. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Vispenck's face was very ugly, and he tried his best to control his emotions there: "I really don't quite understand what you're talking about there. ”

"I'm talking about Mr. A." Wang Ding still said very patiently: "This Mr. Q was born in a pastoral family in St. Mark's Parish in Kenningtown, London, with poor cultural achievements, but excellent sports achievements. Mouth. After 7 years of miraculous admission to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, after graduation, he joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in India as a second lieutenant platoon leader. During World War I, he served in France and Belgium. He was seriously injured and almost died. ，。 At the end of the 8-year war, he served as a lieutenant colonel and first-class staff officer of the division headquarters. Mr. A, who stepped through the gates of Camberley Staff College, fought in the Irish War after graduating in February of the same year. , A26, month, was transferred back to the Staff College as an instructor. In 34 years, he was transferred to the chief instructor of the Queta Staff College. In 77, he was transferred to the commander of the A Infantry Brigade, and was appreciated by the commander of the Southern Military Region at that time, Wavell, because of his good leadership. Later, he served as the commander of the 8th Division in Palestine and was promoted to major general.

As Wang Ding talked, not only Wiesbock, but even Klingenberg and Hans's faces changed.

"Mr. A" his real name is Bernard Law, Montgomery!

In July 42, the British 8th Army in the desert of North Africa was defeated by the German Afrika Korps of the "Desert Fox" Rommel and retreated to Egypt and the Alemán region in the territory. On August 4, Q42, Churchill appointed General Montgomery as commander of the 8th Army. Montgomery's arrival changed everything, and he was supported by Churchill, who was given a full overview of Rommel's tactical plan by British codebreakers. Montgomery carefully amassed strength, mouth 42 years. From the 23rd to the 4th, he led his troops in the El Alamein area to fight fiercely with the German and Italian armies, defeating the German "Desert Fox" Rommel, thus turning the tide of the war in North Africa.

And now, apparently, the Chinese have their eyes on the British's army general:

Bernard Law, Montgomery!

God, Klingenberg exclaimed in his heart, the Chinese were so bold that they turned their eyes to Montgomery.

But where did the Chinese learn that Montgomery was "Mr. A"?

"If you need me more, I can say more." Wang Ding smiled slightly: "Montgomery will pass by the Mnik supply base and inspect the base in these two days, and he will stay here for about an hour. There are not many concubines of the guards around him! ”…,

"No, no!" Vispenck cried out: "I don't know what Mr. A is, and General Montgomery will never come here!" ”

"Well, I guess I'm going to have to take extreme measures." Wang Ding said calmly: "I will shoot a British soldier every minute until you are willing to say everything I want, although it sounds a little cruel, but in order to complete the task, I have to do it." ”

"God, you can't." Westbondk's face turned pale.

"Of course I can." Wang Ding smiled slightly: "Actually, Lieutenant Colonel, you don't have to think about anything anymore, we will ambush Montgomery here, whether you want to provide information or not." But for the sake of the lives of your subordinates, I personally recommend that you choose to cooperate with me once. ”

Vespenk began to know that the Chinese were not there to intimidate themselves

After a brief period of inner struggle, Lieutenant Colonel Wiespenck chose to cooperate, even though he knew it would push General Montgomery into a terrible situation

"You're such a madman." Walking out of the office, Kremgenberg shook his head again and again and said, "I really don't know how you know that Montgomery is Mr. A, and I don't know where you know that Montgomery is going to supply the base through Mnik. ”

"I don't know." Wang Ding said with a smile: "I only know that this is the information provided to us by our intelligence officers, and it is also a task that I must complete." Fritz, thank you for coming here with us, we will make history! ”

Fritz, Klingenberg nodded in agreement......

Indeed, whether Montgomery is captured or killed here, the Allies will be shocked, and the whole world will be shocked, and this history will be created in their hands......

"So, let's get started!" Klingenberg said in high spirits.

"So, let's get started!" Wang Ding repeated his friend's words heavily

Unaware of the danger looming towards him, Bernard Law and Montgomery had planned it before, and headed for the Mnik supply base with some soldiers and men.

The Mnik supply base was just a stopover on Montgomery's journey, and Montgomery didn't think it was anything.

What he values most is that after defeating Rommel on the front, now he must set his sights on the Chinese"

Montgomery took over the 8th Army at a time when the British were at their most difficult, when the morale of the entire 8th Army had fallen to its lowest point.

The best way to boost morale is to win the battle. Montgomery desperately needed a good battle, a good victory, so that he could restore the confidence of the officers and men in the senior commanders and go into the future battles with high morale before he decided to launch a large-scale offensive.

But Montgomery felt that the time was not yet ripe for him to take the initiative, and the only thing he hoped for was Rommel to attack and him to counterattack.

Montgomery's intelligence officers affirmed that Rommel's possible attack would be on the south flank, and then made a detour to the left, moving armoured forces to attack the Alam Halfa and Rwaissat mountains. Montgomery agreed. Based on this prediction, Montgomery and De Guengang developed a battle plan.

He smiled and said to De Guengang, "I'm going to set a trap for Rommel, the fox." ”

There were three key points on the British front: one was the position on the northern coast

The second is the Rwaisat ridge in the middle, and the third is the Alam Halfa ridge in the south. According to Rommel's judgment that he would attack in the south, Montgomery decided to hold his position resolutely in the north and in the center, forcing Rommel to attack Alam...,

Khalefa. The British army to the south was in the face of the enemy attack

It is necessary to deliberately retreat, leaving a gap, and the gap area should be pre-laid with minefields. At the same time, the 7th Panzer Division will fight and retreat, luring Rommel's Tanyak troops into pursuit. Once the German Tanyak entered Alam Halfa and buried

The British 44th Division, which was lying there, would counterattack the German Panzer Division that was stuck in the minefield with heavy artillery fire.

Montgomery expected that Rommel would not dare to bypass the British line of Alam Halfa and march directly to Cairo. Otherwise, there will be 4 ...... Cars hit him in the tail. For Rommel, only by taking the Alam Halfa ridge first could he relieve his worries.

At the same time, Montgomery decided that the defenders on the northern and central fronts should not pursue the retreating enemy forces. In addition, he ordered the 7th Panzer Division and the 44th Division to maintain their combat effectiveness as much as possible in the defensive battle on the Alam Halfa ridge so that they could participate in important battles in the future.

By this time, Montgomery's mind was already brewing for the next battle, which would be a decisive one.

Now, the trap has been laid. As long as Rommel attacks, no matter which direction he moves, he will be trapped. When he was trapped, British Desert Air Force planes would attack him in a dense formation, dropping what Rommel called "carpet bombs." It was up to Rommel to do anything, and if he didn't attack, he wouldn't be able to do Montgomery.

Will Rommel attack?

In view of the situation on the battlefield at that time, Rommel's wisest course of action at this time was to implement the "Hindenburg route" type of retreat, that is, to retreat westward to some suitable defensive position, in order to shorten the traffic that appeared to be dangerous because the battle line was too long

line, closer to his base Rommel is a master of sports warfare, he does not like opponents like Montgomery, he thinks Montgomery's set is "mechanized static warfare". He also noted that the deployment of British troops was being made

Change. If he had planned a retreat, all of Montgomery's efforts would have been in vain. The most convincing thing is that he was very short of personnel and supplies: his divisions were short of men, 60 men, transports

85% are trophies with missing arms and legs; His combat armament was 200 tanks and 75 armored personnel carriers less than the establishment provided; His ammunition, fuel and rations were also unsustainable. In short, the retreat is long

Meier's only way.

Montgomery, however, was convinced that Rommel would attack.

Of course, Rommel knew that retreat was the best option, but his situation dictated

It was practically impossible for him to retreat. Hitler was enough to stop the retreat, and he had effectively put Rommel off the idea of retreating. In addition, from the perspective of strategic coordination between the African battlefield and the Soviet-German battlefield, Rommel could not retreat. Sood

On the battlefield, the Germans were launching a large-scale offensive in the Caucasus direction, and it seemed to be going well, and if Rommel could continue to advance eastward in Africa, the two German armies could join forces in the direction of the Middle East and the Indian Ocean.

All this made Montgomery settle Rommel.

Montgomery's luck seems to have been particularly good. Not only has his opponent Rommel decided to attack, but the "Desert Foxes" are sick and his sense of smell and judgment is not as sharp as it used to be. He suffers from severe

of stomach ulcers and nasal diseases, blood circulation is also not good. His medical advisers considered him unfit to serve as a conductor, and Rommel himself suggested that Guderian be transferred to replace him, but Hitler refused. This time

Rommel was practically exhausted. When he made the decision to attack, he said to his medical advisor: "Professor, the decision I made yesterday to attack was the most difficult decision of my life. The result is either ours in Russia

The Germans were able to get to Grozny, we were able to get to the Suez Canal in Africa, or "Rommel didn't dare to think about going down." …,

On August 3, day and night, Rommel's Afrika Korps finally launched an offensive against the British. Rommel was so ill that he threw all his few Tanyaks into the minefield. "The battle must go on, and this decisive battle cannot in any way turn into a positional war," he said. ”

The fox fell into the trap, it's time to see the hunter.

By the time Rommel attacked at midnight, Montgomery was already asleep. A de-Guengang rushed to Montgomery's house and reported the good news to him. Montgomery only said "Wonderful, couldn't be better...... and immediately fell asleep again. He had already seen it as food on his plate, so it wasn't exciting for him.

Rommel's attack did not go well from the very beginning.

Night bombers of the Desert Air Force on August 3. It was dispatched at dusk to carry out a devastating attack on Rommel's newly assembled armored vehicles. When the Afrika Korps rushed into the minefield to open a passage, it found that the minefield was more than the original

The first prediction is much wider and more complex. The British troops, who were protecting the minefields, also fired dense and accurate sub-rounds at them. Rommel had hoped to pass through the minefield soon, but found that he had fallen into the trap of death.

There is information that the 2nd, General von Bismarck of the Panzer Division was killed by a mine, and the commander of the Afrika Korps Nerin was also seriously wounded!

At this point, it was too late for Rommel to turn around and turn back, but he didn't

do, but try to take advantage of the darkness of the night to continue the rush. It's actually getting deeper and deeper into the trap. In the face of Rommel's attack, the 7th Panzer Division fought and retreated as planned. The Germans advanced another 7 miles in the trap. Rommel ordered his outfit

A unit made a predetermined left outflanking movement to the north and there Montgomery had already placed the 1st Armored Brigade.

Rommel did not know that there was an ambush there. Led by several modified Mark 4 Tanyaks, the brigade formed a terrifying formation, like a snake curled up and ready to bite, slowly, into the ambush circle of the 22nd Panzer Brigade. Major General Roberts gave the order, and all the Tanyak and anti-Tanyak guns opened fire at the same time, taking the Germans by surprise.

Under the heavy blow of the British army, and forced by the shortage of fuel, Rommel was forced to stop using Tanuk.

The next day, Rommel again organized several sporadic attacks, but they were far less violent than they were on August 3. 6 o'clock 4. Minute, Dedi, 5 Panzer Division made a short assault on the Alam Halfa ridge. 7 hours and three minutes

8:3. points, and two more small-scale local shocks were carried out. During this period, the Germans also engaged in a fierce encounter with the British 8th Panzer Brigade. The battle was fought in the 8th Panzer Brigade trying to move westward with the 22nd and 22nd

Happened when the 23 Armored Brigade was assembled. Keeping in mind Montgomery's instruction not to allow the 3rd Army's Tanyaks to engage in close combat with the enemy, Horoks withdrew the 8th Panzer Brigade after losing a few Tanuks.

Seeing that Rommel's troops were already in disarray, Montgomery ordered the New Zealand Division to move south from the defense zone, thus closing the gap that the Germans had entered earlier. Rommel saw the danger and realized that he had only enough fuel for a day, so he ordered a retreat, and quickly withdrew to the minefield through which they had already passed, preparing to defend the area.

On the 3rd, the British army, under the command of Montgomery, began to launch a counterattack. Montgomery refused all requests for Tanyak to launch an attack, ...... effectively forbade Horox to continue the pursuit of the enemy and capture Himamat Gao

Earth. He said that Rommel should keep an observation post there so that the Germans could see all the deceptions he had taken in preparation for the next campaign. This allowed Rommel to quickly settle down. By the 7th of A, the Afrika Army

The regiment had gained a foothold in the original minefields of the British troops and in their rear. As a result, Montgomery ordered the operation to be halted.

In the Battle of Alam Halfa, the Germans lost about 2,000 men and 4A tanks and armored vehicles; The British lost 700 men and 67 tanks, of which 3 "Grant" tanks could be repaired. The British began to take the initiative on the battlefield.

Montgomery fights to fame!

However, then he had to face a strong challenge from the Chinese! [Middle: The Diaoyu Islands will always belong to China; Eng: The
