"Quick, let's go." Liu Feng, the commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Marine Corps, who had just landed on the shore, immediately ordered the troops ashore to set off in full gear, and they should get as close to Cairo City as possible before the Sahr army came to their senses.

After the follow-up troops landed on the shore, they began to unload heavy equipment and establish a solid beachhead, and when they saw the successful landing, Vice Admiral Wan Yong, who was in charge of commanding the sea fleet, breathed a sigh of relief, the task of the navy had been completed, and it was up to the marines to see that they could only sit and wait except for using carrier-based aircraft to provide fire support.

Liu Feng did not wait for trucks, heavy artillery and other heavy equipment to come ashore at all, and he did not have time to wait any longer. After the wading chariots and most of the infantry came ashore, he directly led all the chariots and tankers ashore to set off, and the infantry did not fall, and the infantry climbed onto the roof of the chariots and tanker trucks and moved with the chariot troops.

Such a force quickly marched towards Cairo, and the Shar military outposts along the way were all rushed by them, and when Major General Meng Ge got the news, Liu Feng's troops were only twenty kilometers away from Cairo.

The Saar army was all stationed along the Sinai Canal, there were not many troops in Cairo at all, and the nearest reinforcements were more than a hundred kilometers away, so Major General Möngke had to send an air force to intercept them.

Although the bombers imported by the Sahr Army from the Chinese Empire have long been lost, and the fighters have all been replaced with camels, and there is no ability to hang bombs at all, he hopes that these fighters can use low-altitude strafing to block the opponent's attack like the fighters of the Chinese Air Force.

When they saw the arrival of the opponent's group, all the infantry quickly jumped out of the tank and formed an air defense group according to the requirements of the initial training, and the commander of the tank poked his head out and operated the 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof of the vehicle to aim at the incoming enemy plane.

The Imperial Chinese Army has undergone rigorous air defense training, and they are very familiar with it. The Sahr Air Force wanted to bully the infantry without air cover, but when they began to dive, they realized that something was wrong.

The Camel aircraft had only one 7.7 mm machine gun, and the range of this machine gun was much worse than the 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun on the Weasel 1 tank, but even the range was half the difference.

The pilots of the camel fighters who were diving were surprised to find that the other party had not yet entered their own range, and the other party's bullets had already hit their own planes, and the first few camel fighters that began to dive were hit by anti-aircraft fire and exploded in volley, so frightened that the camel fighters behind immediately pulled up the nose of the plane, and no longer dared to dive and strafe, after a few more attempts, those Saar planes were shot down more than a dozen, and the remaining planes had to return unwillingly.

It's a pity that these planes don't know that nothing good will happen to them even if they return. The fully fueled planes that had returned to the mothership took off again and headed for Cairo, just in time for the carrier-based aircraft to take to the skies as the camel fighters began to land.

When carrier-based aircraft carried out bombing missions, the preferred target was naturally the airfield, and several Sailfish fighters first lowered the nose of the aircraft and rushed towards the Camel fighters that were landing. The operation of the Camel fighter with a rotary engine is more cumbersome, so the pilots are attentive when landing, for fear that any small mistake will cause them to fall on the runway.

A camel fighter carefully reduced its speed and slowly descended in the center of the runway, not noticing that a Sailfish fighter was already following from behind at high speed, and two 12.7 mm machine guns were like two whips with fire, immediately tearing apart the left wing of the plane.

The injured camel fighter turned over and fell on the runway, its wreckage glided forward with blazing flames for a long distance, rushed directly into the tarmac, knocked down several planes parked there that had just been refueled, and the leaked gasoline was quickly ignited by the flames on the plane, and the entire tarmac suddenly turned into a sea of fire.

A group of ground crews did not dare to slack off, and immediately dragged the water dragon to prepare to come over to put out the fire, but the disaster had just begun, and the camel fighters that had bottomed out of fuel began to reduce their altitude, and the fighters who had reduced their speed to the minimum had no combat effectiveness at all.

Immediately after that, the Swordfish attack planes lowered their altitude, and the huge 500-kilogram bombs under the belly of the first attack aircraft broke away from the pylon, and the cylindrical bombs shook and fell, and accurately fell on the runway.

Of course, slow planes like the Camel can barely take off even if there is no runway, as long as there is flat ground, but these Swordfish attack aircraft are not just bombing the runway, and soon the barracks and hangars in Cairo are heavily bombed, and those oil depots and supply ammunition depots are deliberately left behind.

Just when the carrier-based aircraft were frantically bombing the defenders of Cairo, the 1st Marine Division arrived outside the city, and Gao Feng gave an order, and the soldiers led by the Weasel 1 tank quickly broke into the city and started a fierce street battle with the Saar army left behind.

For the first time, the Saar defenders in Cairo had a taste of the problems that the Cossacks had been suffering for months, and the Saar army's Martini Henry rifles had a high rate of fire and a short body, which gave them a certain advantage in street fighting, but this was only relatively speaking, and they had no advantage over the Upper Chinese Imperial Army.

With weapons in hand and the idea of annihilating the Imperial Chinese Army in the city of Cairo, the Saar army defending the city actively engaged in street fighting, which was much more specialized than the Cossacks, placing barricades, piling sandbags on roofs, and establishing defensive positions everywhere.

The 1st Marine Division, which arrived under Cairo, also did not hesitate and quickly plunged into the city street fighting. The clatter of machine guns continued, and the Thar soldiers, hiding behind the barricades, controlled the street with their machine guns, making it impossible for the Marines to pass through.

Wei Zihui cautiously poked his head out and observed the situation on the street, the Thar machine gunners on the opposite side were still on high alert, occasionally attacking the rising marines with short bursts. Looking at the thick barricades on the opposite side, he knew very well that the losses of charging directly at his own side would be great.
