ββββThe following textββββ
In the Nile River basin at night, the war has destroyed this civilization line for ten days, and the water of the Nile River at night seems to have a few red blood, which is a silent indictment of war.
Tens of thousands of coffins were loaded onto ships and transported to their own countries, on the Nile River, on the Nile River, not living people, but soldiers who had died in battle.
A full 10,000 bodies were loaded from Cairo's Nile port, accompanied by candle-lit paper boats along the way, lighting the way home for the fallen heroes.
Ten days, an average of thousands of soldiers died every day, and the brutality of the war was more than any war since World War II.
In ten days, more than 10,000 soldiers have returned from here, and several boatloads of wounded and dead soldiers are sent away every day.
Ice cubes have become the best-selling commodity in the surrounding area, and in the hot and dry Egypt, if there is no ice, the corpse will decompose quickly.
When conditions permit, no one would bury the bodies of their soldiers in a foreign land.
In 10 days, the two sides lost 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and the hospital ships were already overwhelmed, so they could only transport the wounded back to the rear for treatment.
But a few more soldiers were able to go back intact, and how many of the bodies in those coffins were intact. Some were even able to find half of the body, which was already a blessing. How many missing soldiers have not yet been registered on the death register.
No one ever thought about it. Under modern technological warfare, the death rate of soldiers will be so high, but this is the fact in front of everyone. The war is going on so far that there is no such thing as a winner.
Advanced weapons are not only to be able to win wars, but also to minimize casualties. But this war has already exceeded the expectations of the world, and the casualty rate is breaking the highest record every day.
No one knows how long the war in Egypt will last. And how many soldiers will die, because no one can see the dawn of victory in the war.
For the soldiers on the front line, this is the most unforgiving pressure that comes from the heart, facing death every day, every hour, every second, and even sleeping with one eye open, because no one knows whether the enemy will cut his throat in his sleep.
The scorching heat of the Egyptian desert climate is only as cool as a breeze compared to this inner torment.
There are already many soldiers who cannot stand this pressure. had to undergo psychological treatment, and more soldiers who could not bear the pressure died on the battlefield, because there were only people who were not afraid of death. has a better chance of surviving.
Another night has come, and Egypt today is rarely blowing a cool breeze. The gunpowder smoke on the battlefield seems to have diluted a lot in an instant.
The heat can be irritating. Coolness makes it easier to calm people in the breeze. The gunfire in various places also seems to have quieted down a lot.
It seems that this rare breeze awakens the physical and mental exhaustion of the warriors and the desire to fight. Hope is slowly disappearing, and at this time, everyone wants to take a break and relieve the fatigue of the body.
The commanders on both sides did not rush down, perhaps because in the past ten days, everyone has been tired, soldiers are not war machines, **, mental double exhaustion, it takes time to heal.
Or maybe it's taking advantage of this cool breeze to organize a new offensive and prepare for the more brutal battle that follows.
No one knew, but the battlefield slowly quieted down, and the gunshots and explosions that rang in the ears also subsided.
In the city, in the township, and on the field road, the soldiers on both sides hid one by one and half-lay in their bunkers, looking at the strange world around them with their eyes scattered, and the crazy battles made them all a little trance-like.
The highway from Cairo to Alexandria has long been fortified by sandbags and armored vehicles.
In the semi-middle position, seven or eight armored vehicles were lying on the highway, and dozens of US Marines were slowly nibbling on bread from the rear with a face of gunpowder smoke on their faces.
In each person's hand, in the portable cup that has long been blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, is the coffee that has been cold.
A few hundred meters away from them, behind the same high sandbags, dozens of soldiers from the Red Guard Regiment were also resting, each holding a large piece of jerky in his hands, and camel milk with ice cubes in his cup.
Jerky and camel milk are the most replenishing foods for physical strength, and they are also the dry food of every Red Police soldier.
It's just that their dry rations have already been eaten, and these are all put on armored vehicles for backup, as a guarantee for timely replenishment of physical strength when fighting far away from the main force.
Unlike the U.S. troops on the other side, these soldiers who came to the Red Police base looked very peaceful at the moment, and on the ground not far away, the soldiers who had just died were neatly placed on the side of the road in body bags, waiting for the corpse collection team to take them back to China.
In this world, there are not many people who can really treat death as home. They are the only exceptions, the army is destined to be their belonging, the battlefield is their home, death only represents the end of life, and their will will continue.
The reason why the Red Guard soldiers have always been deeply loved by Li Lan is not only because of their individual combat quality, but also because of their spirit of being able to face death calmly.
On the side of the U.S. military, there is not the slightest calmness on the face of every soldier, because they have families to miss, there are people who have a beautiful youth that they have not enjoyed, and there is a world without war waiting for them to go back.
As soldiers, they have no choice, they have no choice when they go to the battlefield, and war is not something they can control.
Whether you really want to be a soldier, or like the blood of the army in the army's propaganda film, or maybe it's for the treatment of soldiers.
Right now. They took their weapons, and the result was the same. They are soldiers, so they must obey orders.
Ten days. They have seen too many deaths.
When the battle subsided, emotions outside the war naturally came to my heart, eating bread, drinking coffee, biting on beef slices that seemed to have no taste at all, photos of family members on the palms of my hands, feeling the warmth of home in my heart, but feeling the breath of death in my body, for every soldier. It's extremely brutal.
Biting the bread dripping with tears, the silent sobbing spread to everyone around him, and the inexplicable sadness was spreading.
"Thank you, dear Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for offering us once and for all for our sins, for the assurance of our salvation through the cross, which has become a sign that we can come to God's mercy seat without fear......"
The sergeant major took out the cross that had fallen from his neck, clasped his hands and closed his eyes. Prayers are recited.
The surrounding American soldiers, whose inner beliefs resonated with it, spontaneously followed along, and later everyone participated.
Take the hand of the comrade next to you. They sat around and prayed with their eyes closed, for a moment of peace in their hearts, in order to dispel the thoughts and fears that were gradually occupying their hearts.
ββ¦β¦ Amen. Amen. β
A prayer came down and the sadness was healed.
The sergeant major slowly stood up at this time. "I very much hope that everyone can go back, and I hope that the victory in this war belongs to us," he said. In order to be able to meet our families as soon as possible, what we have to do now is to win this war and kill every enemy in front of us. β
"Our opponents are crazy, they don't look like people at all, they are completely war machines, they are not afraid of death at all, and they are not the kind of ignorant bushido, they are simply a bunch of war maniacs who are not afraid of death." As soon as the sergeant's voice fell, some soldiers couldn't help but curse.
These words resonated with everyone, and someone continued: "I really don't understand those guys on the other side, they are obviously highly educated, but why they have such extreme thoughts, and it is really unlucky to meet such an opponent." β
The sergeant major spoke: "Somali soldiers are known for treating death as home, and when encountering such an opponent, we must be mentally prepared, they are not afraid of death, and we must be even more afraid of death, otherwise it will be difficult for us to survive."
Reinforcements are almost arriving, and they are all in good spirits and ready to deal with emergencies. β
At this moment, the bright moon was already hanging high in the air, and the time was almost close to the early hours of the morning, and suddenly, a dense whistling sound from the sky broke all the peace of the earth.
Every soldier on the ground couldn't help but look up, and the anti-aircraft fire from all over the country once again spewed tongues of fire, and the tracer bullets merged into beautiful streamers in the air.
A large number of explosions in the air followed, and the light and flames of the explosions in the night sky illuminated the burning wreckage, and the falling and burning fighters became very clear in the night.
The flames of war were ignited in an instant, and everyone understood that the fighters in the sky began a new round of competition, which immediately detonated a new round of attack on the ground.
It's just that the NATO soldiers on the ground don't know that the current Egypt Theater Command of the NATO coalition is already in chaos.
NATO fighters were suddenly attacked intensively by the Somali Air Force, and more than 200 Somali fifth-generation fighters took advantage of the desert sand dunes and their own stealth effect to launch a sneak attack on NATO fighters over Egypt.
In an instant, NATO fighters suffered huge losses, and air supremacy was seized by the Somali Air Force in just a few minutes.
The air defense units on the ground had to participate in the first place, but in the face of these advanced fifth-generation fighters, it was difficult for the ground air defense weapons to play a very good role.
In just ten minutes, hundreds of NATO fighters were shot down, and the entire airspace over Egypt was instantly controlled, and even three AWACS planes were destroyed by air-to-air missiles. In the face of the Somali fifth-generation fighter fleet surrounded by wolves, these fourth-generation fighters are particularly powerless.
There was no way, the Egyptian command had no choice but to request support from the Air Force at the first time, and at this time, the Somali fighter group that had seized the advantage had already flown through Egyptian airspace.
A large number of NATO ships that were heading to Egypt began to be attacked by warplanes, and for a time there was chaos in the rear of the Egyptian theater of NATO coalition forces.
The Air Force, which had been in a standoff all along, was destroyed in just a few minutes, which completely put NATO in passivity. Because they never expected that their fighter fleet would be so unbearable.
Immediately the entire Egyptian NATO coalition forces. It encountered the most intensive air raids since the beginning of this war. More than a hundred fourth-generation Intruder fighter-bombers began to strike mercilessly at high-value targets on NATO's ground.
For a time, the entire defense system and offensive forces of the NATO coalition suffered huge losses.
And under the guidance of the ground special forces, most of the fighters are aimed at the command of NATO's front-line combat forces.
Subsequently, the Red Guard Corps, the Garrison Corps, and the 200,000 troops reorganized by the Egyptian Defense Force began to advance and fight on the ground. Once again, it has entered the white heat.
This time, Li Lan did not have any reservations, and a large number of terrorist robots transported to the front line began to participate in the war on a large scale.
The defense line of the NATO coalition forces is rapidly retreating, and if it were not for the large number of automatic defensive weapons installations, their front would have already collapsed.
However, what the NATO coalition did not expect was that the real catastrophe had not yet begun!
Night sky. After the invader fighter-bombers, there was a huge fleet of bombers, at the head of which were several centuries of bombers.
Under the cover of fighters, four century bombers flew over Alexandria. The magazine slowly opened.
At the same time, the NATO radar on the ground immediately issued a warning. It's just that it's too late to warn at this point.
Inside the bomber of the century, there was only one bomb in each of the four magazines. The bomb was codenamed "Stronghold Smasher Ground Bomb" and weighed twelve tons. It is possible to penetrate an underground building with a reinforced concrete structure of 80 meters.
The huge bombers of the century could barely carry four such bombs, while the four bombers of the century carried sixteen such bombs.
On the ground, outside the NATO Joint Egypt Theater Command, several lurking special forces are retreating rapidly.
In the sky, the two fortress smasherents had already broken away from the pylons, directly making the century bomber rise more than ten meters higher.
With a whistling sound, under the guidance of laser guidance, two fortress smashers, one in front of the other, smashed towards a hill on the outskirts of Alexandria.
Inside this hill is the new NATO coalition Egypt Theater Command, which was originally a bomb shelter and was chosen as the headquarters because of its fortification and concealment.
However, these bomb shelters were built a long time ago, and the intensity of resistance to bombardment is not so long-lasting.
The development of weapons in the world is like the relationship between spears and shields, and only weapons with the ability to penetrate the ground at 50 meters will build bunkers 60 meters deep, and the standard of construction of air defense facilities at that time is not high at all.
When the two fortress smashers landed on the hill, the gravitational acceleration, coupled with the powerful ability to drill into the ground, drilled directly into the interior of the mountain, and the explosion shattered all the glass of all the buildings here, and the houses close to it almost cracked.
The bomb shelter had no chance, and under two penetrating bombs weighing twelve tons, it completely collapsed, and no one inside could escape.
And the rest of the bombs, the entire port of Alexandria suffered, and the destructive power of the penetrating bombs on the ground structure was extremely powerful.
The port, the wharf, and the warehouse were all razed, and even if they wanted to be repaired, it would be absolutely impossible to repair them without three or four months. Because of this kind of high-power aerial bomb, the damage caused is devastating, and even the foundation structure will be destroyed, and it is no less than rebuilding to repair it to the extent that it can be used.
The entire ports of Egypt's Mediterranean coast, or those with mechanical handling capabilities, have all suffered.
In Li Lan's words, these pots and jars are worthless, so Sisi can relax that as long as the war is over, he will help Egypt build better. The port, here in Li Lan, is only 200,000 base funds, even if he builds one hundred and eighty seats, he will not feel distressed.
And once these ports continue to operate, their losses will be even greater. In contrast, the benefits of being able to rebuild and rebuild are even greater.
For the NATO coalition forces, this was only the beginning of the disaster, and for this counteroffensive, Li Lan organized several waves of air strike forces.
The first wave was to ensure air supremacy with four wings of fifth-generation fighters, more than 200 fifth-generation Black Hawk fighters and Apollo fighters, which completed the initial stage of the plan very well.
It broke the air situation between the two sides that had been held for more than ten days and seized air supremacy in Egypt's airspace.
This was followed by a second wave, carried by two intruder fighter-bomber wings, which targeted the NATO forces' grassroots headquarters in order to destroy as many radar and air defense facilities as possible.
The third wave is the bomber formation of the century, and it is also the most critical bombing force, which gives priority to knocking out the Egyptian theater command of the NATO coalition forces, and then destroys the ports and facilities of NATO's rapid reinforcement of the Egyptian theater.
This was followed by the destruction of key concentration areas of NATO forces in Egypt and the destruction of NATO ammunition depots and material warehouses.
The third wave of bombing came violently and unexpectedly, and the century bomber, which had a good stealth effect, completed this task very well.
The balance of the battle situation, which lasted for more than ten days, was directly broken.
What made NATO's top brass beat their chests was that they were also organizing a counteroffensive that was enough to turn the tide of the war, but they didn't have time to show it, and Li Lan took the lead.
At the same time, the main force of the first wave of air strikes has been rapidly approaching the NATO Combined Fleet in the Mediterranean, which is dozens of kilometers away from the coastline, along the sea level of the Mediterranean.
When the fighters dropped supersonic anti-ship missiles one after another, the entire fleet sounded air defense sirens.
The fleet in the dark night, which had been cruising slowly before, was a little caught off guard in the face of this sudden attack.
Despite the fact that the fleet also organized emergency air defense and anti-missile, a large number of supply ships were destroyed. (To be continued......)
