638 Eve
The eve of 638
April 10, night. γ I want: super fast update γ
Hamadan.
"General, the Chinese unit arrived at the port of Salalah, and Colonel Sangela reported that he had constructed a complete defensive line and was also organizing troops to destroy the deep-water port docks."
Cole hurriedly pushed away and found a middle-aged man dressed in a Russian ** suit with the rank of major general, who had come to the headquarters at some point, and was standing in front of the map with Lieutenant General Allenby and pointing.
"Really? Is our Chinese friend finally here? It's a pity they couldn't come to Ahvaz. Allenby took the telegram, glanced at the Russian Major General, and smiled, "Right? Dear General Yarich. β
"Yes."
The Russian major general named Yaric laughed: "My cavalry has already arrived in Bakhtalam, and they can attack Dizful at the end of tomorrow night, so now even if their land land is too late, even if those infantry have the help of trucks, it will take at least 10 days to reach Kuwait from Salalah Port, and the area is all desert, and the road is very difficult."
As long as our infantry can keep up, perhaps we can enter Ahvaz the next morning, and Kuwait in two days, and then gather all our forces to wait for the Chinese army to throw themselves into the net at Sefaniyah. β
Major General Yarich's arrogant words made Kohl frown, and to be honest, if it weren't for this damn war, he wouldn't want to work with the Russians, because these guys are so arrogant that they even forgot that in Western Siberia, there are still millions of troops surrounded by people, and it would be good to starve for a winter to have half of them left.
Allenby doesn't like this guy either, but he does have proud capital, 30,000 elite Caucasian Cossack cavalry who are not afraid of death, all of them have just been equipped with cavalry guns, and a large number of grenades have been distributed, plus the cavalry's natural assault ability, and the opponent has not yet guarded against cavalry at the moment, so the victory has almost been put into the pocket.
"Rest assured, General Yarich, that your Caucasian Army Group has set out from Baku yesterday, and they will be holding back the Ottoman army in Erzurum and unable to move south, and our Egyptian troops will attack Jerusalem tomorrow, leaving them too busy to support here.
And me!
50,000 infantry have been prepared in Dizful, of which 10,000 are still elite Karqor infantry, as well as 20 tanks, and there are 30,000 infantry on the other side of the Zohre River, and Sefaniye has also stationed 40,000 infantry, 30 tanks and artillery, which will eventually reach 70,000, and has two battleships to support, and after Allenby introduced the deployment of troops against Greater Kuwait, he suddenly said: "This time, I will personally command them to cooperate with you to break through the Greater Kuwait defensive circle!" β
Lieutenant General Allenby's words made the Cole next to him also suddenly lift his spirit, everyone knows that compared with the old Ottomans, the key to the Mesopotamian campaign is still the 15,000 Chinese marines stationed in the so-called Greater Kuwait, for them, this time the lieutenant general almost lost nearly 6 percent of the front army, and also pushed the American army and the Italian army with insufficient fighting spirit to Baghdad, replaced the good troops, plus Yaric's 30,000 elite Cossack cavalry, a full 180,000 troops!
As long as you can break through Ahvaz and occupy Kuwait, you can flank Baghdad from the southeast and become an epic victory!
"Lieutenant General Allenby, don't you want to go with me to review our Cossack cavalry?" After listening to Allenby's arrangement, Yarich was also extremely satisfied, as if he saw the destruction of the Chinese and Ottomans, who were abominable and should have been cut by a thousand cuts, led by the speed of their Cossack cavalry. γ I want: super fast update γ
"Cole, inform all troops that the offensive will begin early tomorrow morning!" Allenby grabbed the horsewhip on the table, and as soon as he reached the entrance, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Contact London and ask them to send someone to escort the aircraft engines and tanks, we will all get it this time!" β
"Bounce!"
"Try to save bullets and put them in before you hit."
In the shouts of the soldiers, the sound of the saving reminder and the two drums were thrown in front of him, and he didn't even have time to thank him, so he quickly changed the drum and put the butt of the gun on his shoulder.
After a pause for a minute, the clatter roared again, and the four light machine guns formed a jΔ fork fire, scattering the fire to the enemy a hundred meters away.
This is the only access to the deep waters of Salalah Harbor, and 120 seals have been ordered to hold out until 9 a.m. tomorrow morning, and across from them are a full 15,000 Anglo-Italian troops, and their opponents have probably been given death orders, so they are almost desperately rushing here.
"Six o'clock, two boats!"
During the shouting, Chang Gui looked at the sea, only to see two steamboats with their searchlights turned on, rushing towards the dock, and immediately shouted: "Rocket ready." β
As the grenadiers quickly loaded their rockets, the front of the two steamboats erupted long tongues of fire, and the speed of the navy's heavy machine guns was far faster than that of the army, and in an instant, two seals were hit by the untouchable ones, and blood seeped into the sea from the docks in an instant.
The grenadier lay on his stomach tightly behind the sandbag, not caring about the bullet flying overhead or chirping on the thick sandbag, and when the distance between the two steamboats was only 70 meters, the red fire flashed, and the long tail flame swept over the sea, bringing two brilliant streamers in the darkness, and plunged into the steamboat.
rumble
A violent explosion took off from a steamboat and ignited the gas engine behind it, and the fire spread in an instant, and more than a dozen Italian soldiers jumped into the sea with flames all over their bodies, swimming desperately to the shore.
Although the other ship avoided the rockets, it was also frightened by this straight "shell", and without caring for its comrades, it was so frightened that it immediately turned the rudder and left.
Suddenly, a column of water suddenly exploded from a close place, and the smell of gunpowder slammed into Chang Gui's face, and when he looked up, there was a fire on the two diving heavy gunboats that were tilted and destroyed and could not move, and it turned out that several British sailors actually used accessories to repair the destroyed few mm speed guns on it, so they were used as temporary batteries to support the infantry.
"Cannonballs!"
Chang Gui let out a loud shout, and the sound of the cannon bombardment brought countless fireballs, which continued to explode from the seal position, and in an instant, Colonel Sangeira in the distant command post saw an opportunity.
"Rush and kill, kill these yellow-skinned monkeys!"
With the cover of artillery, the British army suddenly became agitated, and a British major led the charge with a loud shout, and under his leadership, thousands of British soldiers followed, bending close to the nearby bunkers, forming a straggler line and charging forward.
As the war became more and more brutal, the combat methods of the European infantry also improved, and group charges became rare, similar to the skirmish line used by the Chinese Army.
"Yellow-skinned monkey?"
"Fuck you!"
In the dark, the sniper locked his scope on the British soldier who was rushing forward, and although he wanted to kill the yelling major, he chose to solve the frontal crisis first because of the distance and angle.
Bang, bang
The sound of gunfire was intermittent but crisp, each shot took almost a soldier, and gradually the British discovered these snipers and immediately organized troops to suppress them.
Several fierce British soldiers were about to rush to the front of the position, and suddenly they felt something stumble under their feet, and when they looked down, a dazzling fireball suddenly exploded from their pupils.
The special anti-infantry mine contained hundreds of steel balls and fragments, and after the explosion, all the British soldiers charging nearby were immediately knocked to the ground, but before everyone could applaud, the shell accurately hit a machine gun bunker, and the explosion tore apart a machine gun at the same time, blowing several seals inside several meters away.
"My mother!"
Seeing that his comrades were killed by the naval guns on the two monster warships, Cha Bing began to regret that he didn't do it a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to become scrap metal, and the British sailors could still fix it, so he immediately twisted the muzzle with red eyes, aiming at the distance is a point, but unfortunately the distance is too far, and the machine gun bullets can't hurt the other party at all, so the comrades hurriedly grabbed him and reminded him to save ammunition.
Seeing that they couldn't hit the other side, the soldiers had to vent all their anger on the British soldiers in front, and the dense bullets kept putting the enemy down.
In the night, dense bullets shuttled back and forth, although the seals fought very tenaciously, but Chang Gui knew that if there was no support, his own people would not be able to hold this place at all, so he immediately asked the correspondent to contact the support again.
Just as the communicator lowered his head and was about to call, a sharp whistle came from a distance, only to see a few fireballs suddenly explode on the two diving heavy gunboats, and when he turned his head, the fire was shining on the sea in the distance.
"Warship, it's our warship!" While the seals shouted excitedly and waved their fists, the communicator also shouted: "Captain, it's the 2nd Destroyer Squadron, they will cover this place in three minutes!" β
Chang Gui swallowed his saliva violently, the naval cover shelling was not a joke, so he hurriedly jumped out of the bunker and shouted: "Leave, get out of here, the destroyer is going to carry out the cover shelling!" β
Hearing the shouting, the scouts trembled all over, hurriedly put away their machine guns and ran backwards, and when he jumped into the second line of defense three minutes later, he felt that the ground under his feet seemed to tremble violently, and countless shells rained down among the British and Italian soldiers, the houses were knocked down, the bunkers turned into mud, and even the sandbags he had just hid in were blown up to a height of several meters by the explosion.
"Well done! Blow up these shitty white-skinned pigs! β
The sniper shouted as he searched for the guy he had just called the yellow monkey, and when he managed to pull out the guy in the middle with his scope, he saw a shell explode at close range next to him before he could shoot.
By the time the smoke cleared, there was no trace of this guy around.
Looking at the Anglo-Italian forces in front of them frantically routing under the naval guns, some of the seals shrank their heads, and with the support of the destroyers, they were much more relaxed, and even had enough time to smoke cigarettes.
"Landing, there are still 6Η hours."
