The 90th Light Division was then to veer north to cut the coastal road and trap the defenders of the Alamein box (which Rommel thought was occupied by the remains of the 50th Infantry Division) and the Afrika Korps would veer right to attack the rear of XIII Corps.
The 90 Cahaya itu kemudian membelok ke utara untuk memotong jalan pantai dan perangkap pembela kotak Alamein (yang berpikir Rommel diduduki oleh sisa-sisa Divisi Infanteri ke-50) dan Korps Afrika akan membelok kanan untuk menyerang bagian belakang XIII Corps.
