Fukai Village is located about 70 kilometers east of the Port of Meshamatru. The coastal road leading to the hinterland of Egypt passes from west to east and two kilometers north of the village.

When the Black Iron Assault Company of the 101 Special Air Service Battalion landed in the sand south of Fukai Village, the village was still peaceful.

Two hundred and sixty commandos rushed out of thirty dfs230 gliders, regrouped on the vast sand, and then divided into two groups.

More than 200 people from the main force of the assault company followed Captain Recht, the company commander of the Black Iron Assault Company, and launched a marching emergency to the Fukai Village in the north.

The mortar platoon on the other road occupied the highlands southwest of Fukai Village without any obstacles, and then six grw34 81mm mortars were installed on the highlands.

The main force led by Captain Recht quietly approached Fukai Village from the south and divided the troops again. The third platoon left the main force and used the dark light as cover to quietly detour to the northeast of the village.

When he felt about 200 meters away from Fukai Village, the main force of the assault company led by Captain Recht stopped.

Lying behind a sand dune, Captain Recht carefully looked at the movements of Fukai Village. There were no defenders at the entrance of the village, and the village was too quiet, so quiet that it was weird.

A few minutes later, Will, a messenger from the third platoon, quietly ran to Captain Recht and reported to him that the third platoon had been in detour.

After asking Will, and after learning that the third platoon did not find sentinels in the northeast of Fukai Village, Captain Recht analyzed that either there were no defenders in the village or that the defenders had discovered the existence of the assault company and were setting up a killing field in Fukai Village to wait for the assault company's attack.

After thinking for a while, Captain Recht explained a few words to Will and asked him to return to the northeast of the village. Then he issued an offensive order to a row.

Forty commandos in a row left the hidden position and scattered into scattered formations to launch an attack towards the southeast corner of Fukai Village.

When a row approached about one hundred meters away from the village, a crisp gunshot suddenly sounded, and a commando fell to the ground.

When other team members fell to the ground like conditioned reflexes, the village was already full of gunfire. The Brown-style light machine guns and Enfield rifles were fired one after another. Dozens of fire ejected from muzzles flashed in the windows of the building in the south of the village, and the roof was particularly dazzling in the dark light like fireworks.

The British army's firepower was not arrogant for long. After the mg34 machine gun and m1 semi-automatic rifle in the hands of a row of commandos opened fire, the British army's firepower in the village instantly weakened.

Taking advantage of the m1 semi-automatic rifle's fire rate. The commandos in the first row achieved local firepower advantages and successfully suppressed the British army's firepower in the southeast of Fukai Village.

Captain Recht carefully observed the situation on the battlefield for two or three minutes, and a sneer appeared on his face.

From the density of gunfire and the distribution of muzzle flames, he already knew clearly that the British army in Fukai Village had absolutely no more than one company.

The enemy's troops are similar to those of you and have village buildings as cover. It is an unwise choice to attack forcefully.

Captain Recht looked at his watch and confirmed that the time was enough and he issued an order to retreat.

The 81mm mortar on the southwest high ground of Fukai Village hit a round of shells at the southeast corner of Fukai Village. The four latest pak38 anti-tank guns also roared, hitting the British army one by one with 50mm high-explosive bombs one by one.

Amid the continuous explosions and fire, houses and British troops inside were destroyed, and the British firepower in the southeast of Fukai Village was completely suppressed. A row of commandos took advantage of the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield.

A few minutes later, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield gradually subsided.

More than twenty minutes later, a powerful roar rushed to the battlefield from west to east, and nine Stuka dive bombers appeared over Fukai Village under the escort of four me-109 fighters.

The unique scream of Stuka dive bomber when diving quickly covered Fukai Village, and the 50kg bomb and 500kg bombs hit the British army in the village without mercy.

In the fire that soared into the sky, dust, rubble, fragments of corpses and parts of guns flew into the sky like a fountain.

Amid the deafening explosion, countless figures rushed out of Fukai Village, running in all directions in panic, trying to escape from the air strike, but they hit the guns of the German army outside the village.

Strings of 7.92 mm bullets flew towards the British army exposed in the wilderness, and ruthlessly dug out blood holes on their bodies.

One by one, British soldiers fell to the ground with bullet holes all over their bodies, and the oncoming death awakened the fugitive British soldiers. The surviving British soldiers hurriedly threw away the weapons in their hands and raised their hands to run towards the commandos outside the village.

Under the powerful firepower of the bomber, the British infantry company stationed in the village collapsed in an instant. More than 170 soldiers either turned into corpses under aviation bombs or died on the sand outside the village. Only more than 20 people were lucky enough to become prisoners of the Black Iron Assault Company.

After the bomber formation left, the Black Iron Assault Company charged and occupied the Fukai Village, which had been transformed into ruins.

After sending out a good news, Captain Recht then brought his company members to Fukai Village.

About half an hour later, twenty-four me-109 battles flew over Fukai Village and circled around the sky.

Some bold pilots drove the plane to dive towards Fukai Village again and again, and swept over the commando's heads at a height that was almost close to the roof. The strong wind brought by the fuselage rolled up countless sand and dust, attracting a burst of scolding from the commando.

A larger group of aircraft followed one after another.

More than a hundred ju-52 transport aircraft covered the sky above Fukai Village, threw down countless white umbrellas and elegantly walked around in circles.

After passing through the ruins, passing through incomplete corpses, and bypassing several huge craters, Captain Recht brought his company members to the north of Fukai Village.

After staring at the sky with his back for a while, Captain Recht and his subordinates quickly walked towards the front of the left. Just as he walked about ten meters away, a paratrooper landed where they had just stood.

Looking at the paratrooper struggling under the white parachute, Captain Recht walked forward with a smile and lifted the parachute that was covering him with his own hands, and released the young paratrooper with a childish look on his face.

The young paratrooper's face was flushed. Whether it was excitement or shame, he saluted Captain Recht and quickly put away the parachute, and then ran to the assembly place with his nearby comrades.

The headquarters of the First Paratrooper Regiment of the 7th Paratrooper Division and the paratroopers of the First Battalion were quickly assembled and took over the defense of Fukai Village.

The second wave of transport aircraft soon appeared over Fukai Village, and the second and third battalions of the First Paratrooper Regiment also arrived at the battlefield.

Just as the Second Air Force was busy increasing troops to Fukai Village, the British Eighth Army Command in Meshamatru was already in chaos.

Lieutenant General O'Connor, the commander of the Eighth Army, stared at the captain's staff in front of him and shouted: "What did you say? A German paratrooper was found outside Fukai's village?"

"Yes, General. Captain Nissen, who was stationed in the village, called and found that German planes were landing in the south of the village, with about thirty or forty. He was organizing his subordinates to prepare for the battle, hoping that we could send reinforcements to support him."

When O'Connor heard that Fukai Village needed reinforcements, he suddenly became anxious.

The German and Italian troops had launched a full-scale attack on the western defense line, and the offensive was extremely fierce. The only reserve team of one brigade in his hand needed to deal with the frontal enemies, and there was no extra force to reinforce Fukai Village.

However, if the German army near Fukai Village is left alone, once Fukai Village is lost, the road leading to the hinterland of Egypt will be cut off, and by then not only the supply line but also the retreat will be cut off.

Under the dilemma, O'Connor's heart became more and more angry.

"Damn it, that untrustworthy Marshal Graziani, who dared to deceive us, should be sent to the gallows and hanged."

After cursing Marshal Graziani viciously, O'Connor's eyes lit up and he saw a major staff officer hurried into the command room.

"What did General Weiville say?" O'Connor snatched the telegram from the staff's hands.

As soon as the battle began, O'Connor sent a telegram to Wavell, who had returned to Cairo for help. The staff officer brought Wavell's reply.

"The Fourth Armored Brigade is on the way to Samatru, Reme, and has now entered the village of Deba."

O'Connor quickly glanced at the map and found the village of Deba, about fifty kilometers east of Fukai Village.

"Contact the Fourth Armored Brigade immediately and let them rush to Fukai Village immediately to assist Captain Neeson to guard Fukai Village. Then inform Captain Neeson to arrive immediately, so that they must stay until the Fourth Armored Brigade arrives."

The problem of the rear lane being cut off temporarily was solved, Lieutenant General O'Connor's eyes refocused near Meshamatru and began to concentrate on thinking about how to deal with the frontal enemy.

Not long after, Lieutenant General O'Connor received bad news and Captain Neeson of Fukai Village was lost.

"Fukai Village should be lost. I ordered the Fourth Armored Brigade to recover Fukai Village. The time is before dark today, and at any cost." O'Connor shouted to the staff. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
