Chapter 60—Nyerere's Faith

The group of Italian soldiers was not aware of the danger at all, and according to military practice, there should have been at least a dozen open and secret posts around this barracks, and these posts were also built by the Italians, but there were only guards, no soldiers.

The sentry was built just to cope with the inspection from above, and the wind and sand in this desert night were really unbearable, and the Italian soldiers did not want to suffer this crime. In addition, Lao Ni was lucky this time, they were driving a pie in the barracks tonight, and no one wanted to come out and stand guard at such an opportunity.

Fight? They thought it was a few dozen kilometers away, and that the enemy was so surrounded that the likelihood of attacking them was almost zero. The two Italian soldiers standing guard at the gate just had no choice but to come out.

They stood in the outpost at the door, but their hearts were thinking about the barracks, the smell of barbecue and alcohol wafting from time to time, making them feel tormented, and the bursts of music and laughter, at this time the thing they regretted the most was why they had drawn the shortest lot.

The Italians did not even notice that a group of black Grim Reapers, under the cover of night, were slowly approaching them, and in a few minutes they would pay the price for their weak sense of battle......

Lao Ni personally led the charge, first killed the two at the door, and then thousands of rebel soldiers poured into the barracks from the door, the Italians were unaware, they were still enjoying their happy moment on the battlefield, until two guys who might have drunk too much ran out to pee, only to suddenly see that the outside of the camp was all black!

These black soldiers have not fought the Italians for a while, and they may be a little afraid of fighting the French army, but they are psychologically superior to the Italians.

Let's put it this way, from the time the rebels raised their banner to the present, they have never lost a war with Italy, and almost every time they have won a complete victory.

The Italian army did not disappoint them either. Half an hour later, the commander of the Italian army guarding the airport felt that he was surrounded, and that it was very dangerous, and when he called for reinforcements to no avail, he chose to surrender for the sake of the lives of the soldiers.

More than a dozen planes purchased at high prices from the French were smashed to pieces by the Black Uncles in a very violent way, and a large number of supplies piled up at the airport fell into Nyerere's hands.

Colonel Kemal received the news three hours later, and he was so excited that he first found help. And judging from Nyerere's first move, this helper is very powerful!

Although he didn't know how many people and guns Lao Ni had in his hands, Kemal was sure of one thing, that is, his opportunity had come, and maybe he could do things better.

The planes of the Italians really did not play much role in the battle, they could not hang bombs, they did not have the terrifying combat power of the Chinese planes. But these planes can be scouted, which is a very annoying thing. Since ancient times, the use of soldiers has been a fraud. Especially when there are fewer people and more people fight, Turkey's every move cannot escape these eyes from the air, and Kemal has many combat plans that cannot be implemented.

The rebels were the first to knock out the opposing airfield, and the most effective means of detection by the Italians failed.

From the fact that Nyerere stopped attacking after he took the airfield, Kemal judged that these blacks did not fully trust him. It didn't matter, he believed that since these guys were here, as long as they rushed up, they would definitely not stand by.

Other than that. Another great benefit of the arrival of the rebels is that it has brought a great change in the hearts of those who have left, or are preparing to leave, the hearts of the local Arab forces.

Kemal called the men over again. He said it very frankly, the Turks are leaving, and Turkey can't hold this place.

I used to tell you that I would win, and now I confess that I deceived you. We in Turkey are fighting for all face, and I hope you will forgive me.

Kemal said that before leaving, he would work with the rebels and fight Italy again. This battle is meaningless for Turkey, and even if they win, they will retreat.

But it is different for you, if I defeat the Italian army, in the future the Italians will have to rely on your support if they want to control here, and you will be safe. On the contrary, if we do not fight this battle now and turn away, Italy will definitely take revenge on you in the future.

For the sake of your help to Turkey during this period of time, I will attack. Whether you help me or not at this time is entirely up to you.

The Arab sheikhs are tempted again, and Turkey will definitely go, and they can also see it. After the Turks left, as Kemal said, it would not hurt them to let the Italians get hurt as well. And since there are rebels coming out in this battle, they are not afraid of immediate retaliation, and the sky will fall and smash it first.

Then let's fight.

One of Kemal's most correct strategic deployments was to put all the Turkish forces in Tripoli, and the fighting on the periphery was basically left to the Arabs.

Although the Italian army was numerous, it became more and more dispersed as the territory they occupied became larger and larger. When Kemal was pinned down in Tripoli and could not attack, those Arabs did not dare to do anything, and Italy did not feel the trouble.

But the Turkish forces suddenly came out of Tripoli the next morning, and instead of their usual defensive posture of shrinking their necks, they launched an attack on the strong Italian front, and the highlands were engaged in bloody battles with the Italians.

As soon as he received the news of the start of the battle for the Turks, he immediately plunged into the battle, as Kemal had expected, and launched an attack on the Italian rear. The Arab armed forces began to attack small Italian forces stationed in various places.

The Italians obviously have an absolute superiority in strength, but they are constantly attacked, losing a platoon today and a company tomorrow, and their logistics have begun to have various problems, not to mention the spaghetti that the Turkish troops are fighting with, and after a week they can't even guarantee ammunition.

The Turks grew braver, and General Caneva felt as if he was in a quagmire, surrounded by his enemies, who were becoming more and more ferocious. It's like you're about to be devoured.

The Italians, of course, will not sit idly by, on the one hand, they began to increase their troops, and on the other hand, at the Hague Conference, they strongly condemned the cooperation between the Turks and the rebels, and Italy demanded that Turkey immediately stop cooperating with the rebels and the Arab tribes in the colonies, otherwise, ask the countries to immediately make a decision to impose sanctions on Turkey.

The Italians say that as gentlemen who maintain Western civilization, they must not be mixed with those natives.

Even Britain and France felt a little blush for the Italians who made demands. You have sent nearly 100,000 troops to fight thousands of people, and you have used all your planes, tanks, and artillery, and now you actually say that people are looking for helpers?

How many fighting elements did those Arabs have? The French did the math to Italy last month. The total number of Arabs who fought with them was only more than 20,000, and their weapons were horses, scimitars, bows and arrows. The rebels have better weapons, and they are old rifles, and the Turks are well armed, but they were all sent by you Italy.

The Turks had already announced that they would not participate in the Hague Conference because of the favoritism of Britain and France in the Balkans, although their diplomats had not yet left The Hague and continued to engage with Britain and France. But everyone understands that Turkey's departure is a matter of time.

If you leave, you can leave, the world can turn around without anyone, and the war does not mean that you Turkey cannot fight if you leave. Britain and France also did not change anything for Turkey. However, they really did not want to push Turkey too hard, after all, Turkey had not officially joined the Central Powers, and it would not be beneficial for Serbia and Romania to force Turkey to Germany when the Russians were overwhelmed.

So. The British tactfully told the Italians that this sanction really doesn't work, but it's okay for us to condemn it. Other than that. You'd better withdraw your troops, don't be embarrassed there.

Italy is a country that doesn't have much ability, but people have a lot of tempers. Caesar's descendants, coupled with the special geographical location, the Central Powers and the Entente want to win him over, which makes him feel very rich.

So the Italians made a decision, and they held a press conference saying that if Britain, France, Germany and other powers did not impose sanctions on Turkey in North Africa, they Italians would withdraw from the Hague Conference.

None of this has anything to do with China, and Yang Du did not express any opinion in The Hague, but he just called on Italy and Turkey to exercise restraint.

Yang Xiaolin had already received a letter of thanks from the old Nitong Guò Lei Zhenchun in Beijing.

Sometimes it's like this, it looks like you're in a desperate situation, but when you take a brave step, it's all over again.

The rebels were much better, not only in terms of their forces, but also in seizing large quantities of war materiel from the Italians. The French showed no sign of sending troops so far, but Nyerere was still on their guard, and this time the rebels did not take the big cities again, and all the supplies they got were transported back to the mountains by the old nin.

What made him feel most comfortable was that Lao Ni and several tribal leaders in Benghazi had reached an agreement, those West African tribes were very friendly to the rebels, and they were willing to help Nyerere build a passage from Benghazi to the Atlas Mountain base, which made Lao Ni have a seaport to use, and it would be much more convenient for Commander Yang to send him supplies in the future.

Yang Xiaolin looked at Nyerere's letter with a smile on his face. In every previous letter, Nyerere had directly or indirectly asked him to support the rebels. Although Lao Ni was also asking for support in this letter, he made a request at the end that surprised Yang Xiaolin.

Nyerere said he plans to select a group of young Africans to study in factories in China, and he hopes that Mr. Yang will be able to study in China, as well as some younger children in his base.

Lao Ni's request made Yang Xiaolin very happy, because he was already thinking about the future, which showed that he had rekindled his fighting spirit and had confidence in fighting again. (To be continued......)
