Jordan was originally part of Palestine, once part of the Arab Empire, and later part of the Damascus province of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

The Ottoman response was always a little slower, and when the 201st Panzer Division and the 54th Cavalry Division appeared in Amman, the Ottoman troops deployed in the Israeli area were dispatched, and five divisions of troops were transferred from the south near Egypt to contain the 201st Panzer Division.

In the desert east of Zarqa in Amman, the 201st Armored Division first encountered the Ottoman Nicoya Cavalry Division, and thousands of cavalrymen were frightened by the large number of tanks and armored vehicles of the 201st Armored Division when they attacked the 201st Armored Division.

Where will the 201 Panzer Division be able to let them escape? The tanks and armored vehicles of the Panzer Division began to fire and pursue the cavalry of the Nicoya Cavalry Division, which was trying to escape, and in the desert, the cavalry could not escape the pursuit of tanks and armored vehicles, even if they were more agile.

At this time, the tanks and armored vehicles of the 201st Armored Division could reach a maximum speed of forty kilometers per hour, and the war horses and soldiers ran relatively fast at the beginning, but after a long time, they could not get rid of the pursuit of tanks and armored vehicles.

After two hours of pursuit, the Nicoya Cavalry Division was annihilated and annihilated, while the main forces of the 201st Panzer Division also entered the outskirts of Amman City. Subsequently, the division commander Dijon ordered the units to merge and recuperate at Amman City.

In fact, the 201st Armored Division did not have much fuel reserves at this time, and it had to stop and wait for the logistics department to transport the fuel, and the long-distance run for a long time was not only the soldiers of the 54th Division who followed it were very tired. The officers and soldiers of the armored division also needed to rest well.

Having just given the order to rendezvous at Amman City, Dijon soon received an army coming from four directions: northwest, west, southwest, and south.

Dijon, who got the news, was anxious. On the one hand, the defensive line was set up in the newly captured city of Amman, and on the other hand, the situation was inquired about in various aspects.

The duty of the armored division is to be responsible for assault, assault, assault again. But at this time, the 201st Armored Division had little fuel, and even if it wanted to, it would not be able to go far, and the only way was to use the buildings, tanks and armored vehicles in Amman City for defense, waiting for support on the one hand, waiting for logistics to arrive, and during this time it was necessary to find a way to keep the communication with the logistics troops open.

"Report to the command that our army has captured the city of Amman, but due to the depletion of fuel, it can only stay here and wait for logistical supplies, and according to the latest information. There are already four Ottoman cavalry divisions besieging our division, and our army can only rely on the defense of Amman City, please find a way to support it! ”

"Yes!"

Dijon asked, "How far is the baggage army from us?" ”

The chief of staff said: "About half a day's journey!" ”

Dijon frowned, because according to the speed of the march of the four Ottoman cavalry divisions, they would encircle the city of Amman before the armored division's baggage troops arrived, so that the baggage troops would be blocked by the Ottoman army and could not enter the city, and the Ottoman army might also concentrate its forces to attack the baggage troops, knowing that the baggage troops also had weapons. However, in terms of equipment, it cannot be compared with armored divisions or other infantry divisions, it can only defend, and it is impossible to attack.

After thinking about it, Di Rong said, "How much oil do we have now?" Can an armored battalion be supported for a hundred kilometers? ”

"It should be fine!"

"Good!" Dijon's spirits were shaken. He immediately said to the chief of staff: "You go and organize it immediately, gather all the fuel, and let a battalion of armored vehicles return along the same road to meet the baggage troops, and after receiving the baggage troops, fill up the fuel and return quickly." If the city of Amman had been surrounded by the Ottoman army by then, the baggage troops would have broken through the enemy blockade and penetrated into the city. As long as our armored divisions have fuel and ammunition, we will not be afraid of them! ”

The chief of staff also felt good when he heard Di Rong's method, and hurriedly said: "Okay! ”

"And!" Dijon added: "We don't know when reinforcements will arrive now. Defense is obviously not our strong point, and there is only one regiment of cavalry with us, but we can't let them withdraw to the perimeter, because we must have infantry protection, otherwise once the enemy forces get close to the tanks and armored vehicles to deal with us with explosives, we will be finished, so we must ensure that the road to break out is unblocked, you must know that our armored forces are not able to climb over the mountains, and the enemy will definitely find a way to keep us here! ”

Now it was the turn of the chief of staff to be embarrassed, "Division, this initiative can be in the hands of the enemy, if the enemy army digs trenches outside the city, our armored vehicles and tanks will be blocked in the city!" ”

Di Rong frowned when he heard this: "Our troops are too small, the 54th Cavalry Division only has more than 1,000 people, weapons and ammunition are limited, and the cavalry is too far behind the infantry division in terms of defense, it seems that we want to completely rely on ourselves to defend against the enemy's attack is a little whimsical, send a report to the upper peak, ask for tactical guidance!" ”

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Wu Shiyou, who was in Baghdad, soon received a distress telegram and a battle report from the armored division, according to the comprehensive analysis, it is obvious that the Ottoman army rushed to Amman City earlier than the armored division's baggage troops and the 55th cavalry division behind, if the armored division could not resist the attack of the Ottoman army during this time, then the armored division would be finished, so now it was necessary to find a way to find support troops for the armored division, but the cavalry 55th division, the closest unit to the armored division, was also a day's journey from Amman City. Moreover, the 55th Cavalry Division has only one division, more than 3,000 people, while the Ottoman army has four cavalry divisions, close to 20,000 people, and the troops supported by our side are too small.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Shiyou thought of the naval fleet, and now only the naval aviation units of the naval fleet can provide timely support, and if it is operated properly, it can also cause great casualties to the four Ottoman cavalry divisions.

"Someone, send a telegram to the naval fleet, contact them, and say that our 201st Armored Division is currently trapped in Amman City due to lack of fuel and supplies. There are already four Ottoman cavalry divisions rapidly advancing towards Amman City, can you ask the naval fleet aviation units to provide air support in the event of an attack on the 201st Panzer Division. Wait for our reinforcements to arrive! ”

"Yes, General!"

Wu Shiyou stood up and said to the chief of staff: "Old Yang." Do you think we can take command of the naval fleet, otherwise if we need the naval fleet, we will need to negotiate with them every time! ”

The chief of staff shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "Your appetite is quite big, I don't think you should mention this matter to the above, the above will not agree!" ”

Wu Shiyou was surprised: "Why? ”

"I ask you, what rank do you have?"

"Uh, Lieutenant General!"

"What rank does Shen Shoukun have?"

"It's also a lieutenant general!"

"Then why did he listen to you? Besides, there are more lieutenant generals like you and me in the Wehrmacht, but there are few vice admirals. How can he Shen Shoukun say that he is also one of the few bigwigs in the navy, you let him listen to you? If it were me, I wouldn't have agreed, for the sake of unity in the army, Shangfeng would not ignore this, if possible, Shangfeng Zaojiu would have put the command of this fleet under the First Route Army of our Expeditionary Force, and would not wait until now. Do you think that Shangfeng does not know the benefits of unifying the command? Shangfeng must have known about it, but he didn't do it. Instead, let us negotiate with Shen Shoukun when we need the assistance of the navy, and Shen Shoukun will not lose face, after all, if something goes wrong, he Shen Shoukun will not be able to get out of it. Of course, the above will not put the command of our expeditionary force under Shen Shoukun's jurisdiction. After all, he doesn't understand land warfare, so ah, don't be bored! ”

Wu Shiyou scratched his scalp. A little helplessly said: "it, why are there so many curves and curves here?" Lao Tzu just wants to fight. Why can't you just have a good fight? ”

The chief of staff shook his head and said: "Don't think about it at our level, now there are only a handful of people who are qualified and capable of commanding the navy, land and air force at the same time. However, I believe that the above will definitely realize that future wars will definitely develop towards all-weather and all-round coordinated operations, and the navy does not dare to say that the air force will absolutely be delegated to the corps and division levels in the future, otherwise it will not be able to reflect the combat effectiveness of multi-arms coordinated operations! ”

Amman City, the four cavalry divisions of the Ottoman Empire finally arrived outside Amman City, and soon encircled Amman City, those scattered Ottoman cavalry spread the combat effectiveness and terror of the armored division, but the Ottomans are not fools, they soon realized that the armored division cannot be invincible, the reason why the armored division hid in Amman City must be because of the lack of ammunition or fuel, otherwise with the terrorist assault ability and protection ability of the armored division, there is no need to hide in the city.

The four Ottoman cavalry divisions outside the city quickly organized their first attack, and a large number of cavalry rushed to the entrances of the city where the armored division was deployed, but they were soon hit by the fierce fire of the armored division, and the charging road was covered with the corpses of the Ottoman cavalry.

After losing thousands of people, the Ottoman army has realized that in the face of powerful tank and armored vehicle machine gun fire, the cavalry attack can only find their own death, in order to open the breakthrough, the Ottoman army found artillery and began to shell the armored division hiding in the city, fortunately, the armored division has found cover for tanks and armored vehicles in advance, in the second round of attack, although the armored division has some losses, but not large, within the range of bearing.

Soon, the Ottoman army may have received the news and was worried about the supply and support of the armored troops, so the Ottoman army began to dig trenches outside the city to prevent the armored division from being resupplied and then break out.

But soon the Ottoman army tasted the bitter fruit for this, dozens of aircraft groups that took off from the Chinese aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea carried out large-scale bombing and strafing of the Ottoman army camp outside Amman, and the bombing and strafing lasted for more than an hour, but after the first wave of aircraft left, the second wave of aircraft came again, and once again wreaked havoc on the Ottoman army, two consecutive bombardments almost disabled the four Ottoman cavalry divisions, after the bombing, the remnants of the Ottoman army knew that they could no longer besiege the armored division, A retreat was chosen, and soon the baggage units of the armored division arrived.
