    Entering early March, the land of North Africa was full of smoke and war, and an unprecedented decisive battle began.  The "D" all-out counterattack, which means the final battle, erupted like volcanoes on the hundred-mile front from Libya to Egypt and the vast area of ??southern Egypt. This was a battle between Germany and Italy in the Axis African Corps.  The final battle of the coalition aims to completely annihilate the British Commonwealth Army and the "Free French" Army entrenched in North Africa.  In less than a week, more than 200,000 German and Italian troops commanded by German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel broke through the "Devil's Garden" and marched forward, driving the British 8th Army back to Tobruk again.  In the south of Egypt, the Chinese and Italian coalition forces marched straight in. The rolling iron flow pushed unstoppably into Egypt and pounced on Aswan, an important town and fortress in southern Egypt.

    "For victory, kill!" The more than 70,000 Northeastern Chinese Army and the Italian Army, whose military morale was high to the boiling point, roared in a shocking voice. More than 300 mortars of various types, 75mm infantry guns, 88mm  Flat-fire cannons and 105mm light howitzers poured out overwhelming flying bolides in an instant, turning Aswan into a small boat bumping in the fierce waves. Large areas of the city's buildings were instantly reduced to ashes and blown to pieces.  Ruins, countless broken bricks and tiles, and human limbs were flying wildly along with the Union Flag burned into rags; in the cloudless clear sky, a dense group of Chinese-Italian mixed bombers blocked the sky, and the majestic battle  The ax military emblem and the Iron Cross military emblem boldly blocked the rays of the scorching sun. More than fifty "Pelican" twin-engine medium bombers, "Vulture" four-engine heavy bombers and Italian SM.79-i "Sparrowhawk" medium bombers  , BR.20 type "Sikogna" medium bombers carrying more than 100 tons of aerial bombs, incendiary bombs, and napalm bombs, and were extremely ferocious under the protection of "Saker Falcon" fighter jets and "Breda BA88" Lindsay fighter jets.  The ground rushed towards Aswan, and with the sharp and sharp sound of breaking through the air, countless bombs fell from the sky with death and destruction; under the cover of extremely fierce artillery firepower and aerial firepower, tomahawks were flying all over the mountains and plains.  The steel chariots with military flags and Iron Cross flags, as well as countless white bayonets and sharp Gurkha scimitars, surged together like a monstrous flood when the Nile burst its banks, rolling in an overwhelming assault.

    Qina City, more than 200 kilometers north of Aswan, is the headquarters of the 13th British Army.

    The atmosphere of chaos and panic is becoming more and more dense in the basement that serves as the general headquarters. The staff officers, who have put on their helmets, are rushing back and forth, constantly delivering war reports and messages from the front line.  In the room full of people, the British lieutenant general sitting in the center was calm and composed, and from time to time he would calmly take a sip of authentic British black tea.

    "Your Excellency, General Cunningham!" Major General Link, the sweaty combat staff officer, almost jogged in front of him, his hand holding the telegram trembling slightly.

    Lieutenant General Alan Cunningham, commander-in-chief of the 13th British Army, put down his morning cup of already cold black tea and looked at Major General Link with his light blue eyes without any expression: "How is Aswan? Troop casualties.  Is it big? How is the morale?"

    Major General Link smiled bitterly: "General, I think you should ask how Esfon Metainai is doing"

    "What?" Lieutenant General Cunningham's calmness and confidence were instantly replaced by extreme astonishment. He was shocked, and suddenly stood up and said sharply, "You mean the Northeastern Army and the Italian Army have arrived at Esfengmai?"  Tainai? This is impossible!"

    "General! The enemy has a large number of transport vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles, and they have also captured our train stations and railway lines. They are all mechanized and marching too fast! And the enemy is very cunning. The Battle of Aswan  At that time, the enemy's 1st Brigade used rafts and inflatable rubber boats to quietly cross the Nasser Reservoir and unexpectedly attacked our rear material base Kom Ombo, leaving General Wilson under attack from both sides. Aswan and Northern Ridisiya  The two divisions, the 6th Indian Infantry Division, and the 2nd Free French Brigade were all defeated without fighting. At least 4,500 of our young men will never see the sun! And the captured and injured  More! The armor of the Chinese main battle tanks is too thick! So thick that it can move freely and invincibly in our minefields! We can't destroy those steel fortresses at all! General, you know that now  The Chinamen have occupied the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf. They have more oil than water! So their troops are not short of fuel at all, and they have been attacking like a fully charged machine! Attacking like crazy! Plus  Their aviation and artillery bombarded us endlessly Our two front lines of defense and three minefields were breached! General Mountbatten has personally gone to Gus to supervise the battle!" Major General Link said sadly.

    "This is simply unreasonable! I am a proud member of the British EmpireHe ran to Chu Qiming's command tent.

    Chu Qiming was studying the battle situation while chewing on the Egyptian avocados bought by the orderlies and local Arabs. This stuff was nutritious but sweet and astringent, and had a strange taste. However, the frequent reports of good results from various troops also made Chu Qi  Ming eats it with gusto and is as sweet as sugar.  "The British are out?" Chu Qiming was stunned and asked uncontrollably. Various emotions such as nervousness, excitement, expectation, and worry surged into his heart.

    "Yes! Commander, as you expected at first, the British are gathering forces in the rear to cut off our lifeline again! This is the report of the reconnaissance force, as well as the British telegrams deciphered by the telegraph codebreakers." Lieutenant Colonel Bian reported  .

    Chu Qiming took the telegram and looked at it carefully, then stared at the map: "Three divisions of British troops? In this case, the pressure on the Italian army will be considerable! I hope they can withstand it, and victory or defeat depends on this.  ! Call Major General Alirosini and Major General Rifaferallo to prove that their time has come! Then order Major General Sanchi Raphael to immediately seize the Soton Bridge and outflank the British retreat!" (Remember  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
