At 10 pm on January 14, a pale moon shone on the undulating desert of Alama. Li Mo's armored troops began to advance eastward towards the British minefield.

The German German defense line in front of Alamein was similar to that of the British Allied Forces. These places also needed the assistance of armored divisions to resist possible attacks by the British Allied Forces. Germany had only 12 armored divisions, and these defense lines used four armored divisions, so there were only six armored divisions that Li Mo could use for attack, four of which were equipped with leopard tanks, which was the soul of the German army and the most elite unit.

The other two mixed tank divisions are equipped with the Leopard and the Fourth. As for other defensive tank divisions, the equipment is almost the same. The Fourth is their main force, and there is only one company of the Leopard. The German and African Legion has only this little armor quota, which is only available in Poland and Ukraine.

Li Mo commanded his armored troops to launch a powerful attack, and he invested eight armored divisions, which was almost all his current assets.

These tanks roared and rumbling through trenches and bushes, and the infantry rushed forward quickly in the scorching air waves and soaring sand and dust.

Li Mo, who has always been correct in the calculation, was wrong this time. He originally thought that the British minefields and defenses were weak, but in fact they were very dense. Various landmines were buried in front of the positions of both sides of the Alamein. The Germans buried about 500,000 mines in front of their positions. What was the British Allied Forces? Li Mo didn't know the exact number, but it was conservatively estimated that there would be no less than one million. Basically, every inch of land in front of the British Allied Forces' positions had mines, and various mines were buried together, such as anti-tank mines, anti-infantry mines, mine jumping, etc. There are so many varieties that cannot be described, which increases the difficulty of demining mines, and there is no way to eliminate so many landmines.

Li Mo's tank assault group quickly made the British Allied Forces notice. The British Allied Forces began to launch a large-scale artillery attack. Under the fierce shooting of various British firepowers, the German armored vanguard was squeezed tightly into a narrow area of ​​the minefield. At this time, Li Mo quickly transferred his rocket artillery to the back of his armored assault group. Three hundred rockets covered the fire of artillery, and a large area could be blown up, and no matter what landmines were, they would disappear.

However, the firelight of rocket launchers was particularly large and it was easy to expose the target. Of course, the assaults of several armored divisions could not be hidden. The artillery of the British Allied Forces was still very powerful. He quickly launched a fierce shelling at Li Mo's armored assault group.

Of course, Li Mo's armored troops also suffered a little loss under the shelling of the British Allied Forces, but as soon as the British Allied Forces' artillery group fired, their target was also exposed. The Fa223 helicopter group, which had been waiting in the air, rushed towards the British Allied Forces' artillery group. The rockets on the Fa223 were a fatal threat to all cannons. The British Allied Forces' artillery was completely silent under the attack of the German helicopters, and violent explosions broke out one after another on the British Allied Forces' artillery positions.

At 3 a.m., planes from both sides flew to the Alamaic front and began blind bombing. Both sides' planes flew from other places. They could only explode roughly, and the effect was poor and there was no way.

The heavy bombers of both sides launched a large-scale air strike on each other at night for the first time. Li Mo's German armored troops had already rushed out of the dense minefield. The British Allied Forces bombers were facing the attack of German aircraft in the air, but also had to guard against the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground. Moreover, at night, the heavy bombers of the British Allied Forces returned after throwing bombs randomly. The same was true for the German planes. After a burst of bombs against the British Allied Forces' positions, they also hurriedly returned. The German planes were all on the island of Malta, and they would not stay in Alamein for very long.

Under the blind bombing of British aircraft, the German engineers desperately opened a not-so-narrow path in the minefield with rocket launchers. As soon as the German tanks broke through the minefield, they rushed towards the British and American positions. For a moment, in the British positions, flames and flares illuminated the entire battlefield like daytime; explosions, shouts and the clattering of heavy machine guns sounded.

After consideration, Li Mo decided to change the original combat plan. He ordered the troops not to advance 20 miles eastward as planned to reach the Alamhalefa ridge, and then detour behind the ridge and attack the main force of the British army from the rear, but instead allowed all the troops to cross the ridge as soon as possible. He pointed the target directly at Montgomery's weakness - Alamhalefa. Li Mo's modification made Montgomery at a loss.

The ridge of Alamhalefa had become a dangerous and lucky area for the German armored legion. At 3 o'clock in the evening, Limo's tank car began to launch an attack according to the new plan, but unfortunately it descended one after another on the heads of the African legion.

At this time, a huge storm broke out in the desert. The moonlight sky was completely gone, and the entire sky was completely lost. Although they had worked hard to avoid the storm attack and the threat of the British Air Force, when they began to attack northward, they walked into a soft desert and had to slow down. Although the German armored troops slowed down, this made the infantry following the assault of the armored troops follow, and it was no wonder that Seweng lost his horse.

At this time, they were facing the commanding height of the ridge - the 131 Heights. They stepped into the "death zone" of both sides. The British army, who were defending the 131 Heights, relied on the advantage of the terrain, used all kinds of firepower to block the German assault. The German army's ground attack did not work. It was mainly at night that the British soldiers used a large number of "large-caliber anti-tank guns". The tanks could not find the anti-tank guns hidden in the dark. A low-priced shell would probably destroy a tank. After seeing this situation, Li Mo, who was commanding behind, decisively ordered his armored assault group to temporarily retreat, and then sent a small number of leopard tanks. With the infantry charging together, Li Mo even ordered the infantry to rush in front of the tanks. The leopard tanks that followed these infantry were only used as mobile artillery batteries.

The effect soon became apparent. The German army used a rocket with a range of Iron Fist, which was slightly more advanced than the British "large-caliber anti-tank gun". It was more advantageous for mountain battles. Tanks were indeed not the best weapon in mountain battles. The British Allied Forces began to retreat to the ridge of Alamhalefa, which was the commanding heights. This ridge was about three square kilometers. The British Allied Forces arranged a division here, but the fortifications were just simple trenches dug, and there were no permanent cement fortifications.

Soon, as the sky slowly dawned, the sky began to clear up, and greater bad luck came to the heads of the British Allied Forces. The German tanks and cannons under the ridge made earth-shaking roars together. In an instant, the British Allied Forces' positions were completely covered by artillery fire, and German bombers also flew over. The two sides launched an unprecedented battle. In order to compete for the highest point of Alaman, the fight between the air and the ground was uninterrupted.
