Chapter 237: Scuffle

Baghdad, Iraq.

Five days have passed since the British attacked, but the battle, which was originally planned to be resolved in half a day, is still raging.

After the Germans called in the Italian Air Force for help, the British also called in the 37th and 70th bomber squadrons of the Royal Air Force, which were based in the capital of Basra Province, to help in the war.

The sky was in full swing, and the ground was not idle at all. Finding it difficult to break through the German-Iraqi lines with their current forces, the Anglo-Iranian forces sent reinforcements to British bases elsewhere in the Middle East.

After receiving the news, the other bases of the British army immediately organized their own elite forces to support, but when they entered Iraq, they were blocked by the Iraqi border guards.

According to the Anglo-Iranian escrow agreement, the British army has the right to move through Iraq at will, and now the Iraqi border guards will choose to block the entry of the British army regardless of the agreement, that is, according to the current situation, Rashid chose to completely tear his face with the British in advance.

However, the British support forces were not able to block it if they wanted to, they persuaded them two sentences (really two sentences), but after being blocked, they launched an attack without saying a word.

I don't blame them for being so unreasonable, after all, the "big devil" of Leon is not far in front of him, as long as he kills this "big devil", he can "world peace".

In this way, the originally peaceful Iraq suddenly became full of wolves, and the reason was only because Lyon came here.

If you look back at Baghdad, where all fighting began, it is no longer the prosperity and tranquility of the past. After Rashid delivered an independent speech and declared Prime Minister Nuri a "shameless traitor of the quarter", the forces of the "Golden Phalanx" in Baghdad immediately began to arrest the British in Baghdad and the British "lackey" Nuri.

And Nuri, the cunning old fox, finally tore off his mask, gathered all the troops loyal to him, and fought fiercely with Rashid's "Golden Phalanx" all over the country.

Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, is small in size at 860 square kilometers, but in such a small city, more than 20,000 soldiers are now gathered, which makes the street fighting in Baghdad extremely fierce.

House-to-house battles no longer apply to Baghdad, as the two sides often end up with dozens of deaths over the ownership of a room.

"My Führer! I'm so glad you chose to leave. Rashid breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Lyon would leave Baghdad.

The current Baghdad is too dangerous, as stable as Lyon, and has to choose to leave this place immediately.

"Rashid, my friend." Leon put his arm around Rashid's shoulders and said with a smile, "The mighty German army is about to relaunch its chariot and take revenge on France, and they need me." ”

"I understand, Führer." Rashid nodded, "Actually, I have a request, I don't know if I should say it or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say, my friend."

"You, can you lend me your guards for a while?" Rashid said sincerely.

"I'm afraid it won't work, my friend." Leon smiled and shook his head, "I don't think I've left them, and in the eyes of the British, I'm probably no different from a hunted rabbit." ”

"I'm sorry, I was abrupt." Rashid hurriedly apologized.

"No, I don't blame you." Leon said, "I understand you, you are afraid that you will not be able to beat the British, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." Rashid replied awkwardly.

Rashid still had this self-knowledge, and he knew that as long as he left the German allies, he would be like a stripped beauty in the eyes of the British.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about that!" Leon laughed and said, "Mussolini's naval aviation will stay and help you!" Moreover, a powerful army is coming here at this moment! ”

"You, you mean?" Rashid said with a smile on his face.

"That's right." Leon said, "How could I forget to help my allies? I specifically formed a Middle Eastern Army Group, which consisted of two infantry corps totaling 60,000 men, who should now be on the train to Italy. ”

"With the help of the Royal Italian Navy, they will go from Reggio Calabria to Syria, and then land in Latakia, Syria, all the way to Baghdad!"

"Yes, they will destroy all the enemies in their path, whether they are British or French, Syrians and Iraqis!"

Rashid was completely shocked by Leon's words, and he didn't feel that Leon's words of "sweeping all the way" were blown out, because he knew very well that it was true.

In his cognition, there is nothing that the German army cannot do, and in his cognition, the German soldier will only ask one sentence - "Where to go?" Then they would arrive at the place where Leon asked them to go with the most brutal and fast speed.

Therefore, after learning the news that a whole German army group was coming to support him, he suddenly changed his previous fear and became confident.

"But until the army group arrives, you'll have to rely on yourself, as well as the Italian allies in the sky."

"No problem, my Führer!" Rashid patted his chest and said confidently, "I will lead the powerful 'Golden Phalanx' to fight the British to the death, and I will never leave Baghdad until the army group arrives!" ”

"I'm sure you won't, but there are others who want to leave Baghdad." Leon finally patted Rashid on the shoulder, and then walked towards the long-waiting plane, "Carry out the cleaning plan, there are some people we have enough of." ”

"Understood, my Führer."

After boarding the plane in Lyon, the Führer's plane began to roar more violently than it had been on standby, and the huge fuselage slowly drove out of the tarmac and taxied towards the runway.

"Goodbye, my Führer......" Rashid muttered a word of silence as he looked at the Führer's plane flying into the blue sky, and then turned around and walked out of the airport with the guards.

"General, is the Führer gone?" As soon as he walked out of the airport gate, Rashid's adjutant couldn't wait to greet him and asked.

"Why do you care about this?" Rashid glanced at the adjutant.

"Uh, because, because ......"

"Because you want to inform Nuri, right?" Rashid sneered.

"What, what?" The adjutant was startled, but he quickly adjusted himself and said, "You can really joke, just like I did when I first met you." ”

"yes, I'm still joking as always." Rashid smiled, "Abdan, among the people around me, you have followed me the longest. ”

"Ha, haha...... yes, yes. Abdan also laughed twice, "I have been with you the longest, and I have been with you since you first planned to seek independence for your country. ”

"So." Rashid let out a long sigh, then quickly pulled out the pistol at his waist under Abdan's frightened eyes, and shot an entire magazine into Abdan's legs with both hands.

"So why did you betray me?" Rashid said with a hideous face.
