The battle to resupply somewhere in Mnich is over.
83 British soldiers were killed, and the rest were all captured, including their commander Bon Emmons and Lieutenant Colonel Wisbonk.
Although there were some minor twists and turns, the battle went relatively smoothly. Only two Chinese soldiers were killed and they occupied this important supply base at a very low cost.
But Wang Ding¡¯s interest seems not to be at the base at all. Apart from asking the soldiers to guard the prisoners and carry out necessary supplies, he did not issue any orders to blow up the base.
He invited Lieutenant Colonel Bon Emmons and Lieutenant Colonel Wisbonk into the office, and Klingenberg stayed here with Lieutenant Colonel Bon Emmons and West Bunker.
"Lieutenant Colonel Wisbonk, I think it's time for us to talk." Wang Ding's tone was very relaxed: "It's time for us to talk about the issue of Mr. Q."
Lieutenant Colonel Wisbonk¡¯s expression changed drastically. "Mr. a" is a huge secret, and how does the Chinese in front of him know "Mr. q"?
"No, Mr. Colonel, I don't know what Mr. A is." Weisbank denied.
Wang Ding was not angry: "Lieutenant Colonel Westbank, I hope that we can be frank and friendly. Although you are a prisoner now, this does not prevent you from enjoying all the rights of a prisoner. After we complete the mission, you will all get Release, but the prerequisite is that you tell me, Mr. A, when you will be here."
Lieutenant Colonel Westbank's face was very ugly. He tried his best to control his emotions: "I really don't understand what you are saying there."
"I'm talking about Mr. a," Wang Ding said still very patiently: "This Mr. Q was born in a priest's family in St. Mark's Parish, Kennington District, London. His cultural achievements are poor, but his sports achievements are extremely good. Bang., mouth. In 7 years, he was miraculously admitted to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. After graduation, he joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in India and served as a second lieutenant platoon leader. During the First World War , he served in the battlefields of France and Belgium. He was seriously wounded and almost died,, at the end of the 8-year war, he served as a first-class staff officer at the division headquarters. Mr. a, stepped into the door of the Camberley Staff College, After graduating in February of the same year, he participated in the Irish War. In January 2016, he was transferred back to the Staff College as an instructor. In 1934, he was transferred to the Chief Instructor of the Kuetta Staff College. In 1977, he was transferred to the Commander of the A-th Infantry Brigade. He led troops well and was appreciated by Wavell, the then commander of the Southern Military District. He later served as commander of the 8th Division in Palestine and was promoted to major general.
As Wang Ding talked, not only Weisbank, but also Klingenberg and Hans' expressions changed.
"Mr. A" His real name is Bernard Law, Montgomery!
In July 1942, the British 8th Army in the North African desert was defeated by the "Desert Fox" Rommel's German Afrika Korps and retreated to the Alamein area in Egypt. , On August 4, Q42, Churchill appointed General Montgomery as commander of the 8th Army. Montgomery's arrival changed everything. He had the support of Churchill, and the British code-breaking expert provided him with a complete overview of Rommel's tactical plan. Montgomery carefully gathered strength for 42 years. From October 23rd to October 4th, he led his troops in a fierce battle with the German and Italian troops in the El Alamein area, defeating the German "Desert Fox" Rommel, thus turning the tide of the war in North Africa.
Now, it is clear that the Chinese have set their sights on this British army general:
Bernard Law, Montgomery!
"God," Klingenberg exclaimed in his heart, the Chinese were so brave, they actually set their sights on Montgomery.
But where did the Chinese learn that Montgomery was "Mr. A"?
"If you need me to say more, I can say more." Wang Ding smiled slightly: "Montgomery will pass through the Munik supply base in the next two days and inspect the base, and will stay here for about an hour. He will There are not many concubines in the defense army!"
"No, no!" Westbank shouted: "I don't know what Mr. A is, and General Montgomery will never come here!"
"Then, I think I can only take extreme measures." Wang Ding said calmly: "I will shoot a British soldier every minute until you are willing to say everything I want, even though it sounds like It¡¯s a bit cruel, but I have to do it in order to complete the task.¡±
"God, you can't." Westbank said with a pale face.
"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 are willing to provide information or not. But for the safety of your men, I personally It is recommended that you choose to cooperate with me.?Embarrassed, Montgomery ordered the New Zealand Division to drive south from the defense zone, thereby closing the gap where the Germans had entered earlier. Rommel now saw the danger, and discovered that he actually only had enough fuel for one day, so he ordered a retreat and quickly retreated to the minefield they had passed earlier, preparing to hold the area.
On the 3rd, the British army, under the command of Montgomery, began to launch a counterattack. Montgomery rejected all requests "for a tank attack" and effectively prohibited Horrocks from pursuing the enemy and occupying the Himaimat Heights. He said he wanted Rommel to keep an observation post there so that the Germans could see all the deceptive measures he was taking to prepare for the next battle. This allowed Rommel to quickly gain stability. By August 7, the Afrika Korps had established a foothold in and behind the British army's original minefields. As a result, Montgomery ordered the battle to be stopped.
In the Battle of Alam Halfa, the German army lost about 2,000 people and 4a tanks and armored vehicles; the British army lost 700 people and 67 tanks, of which 3 "Grant" tanks could still be repaired. The British army began to take the initiative on the battlefield.
Montgomery became famous in one battle!
However, he then had to face a strong challenge from the Chinese! (To be continued
