"Yurt, Yurt......!"

Thinking of the violent explosion and the sky-high fire from the north, George White's uneasiness rolled in his heart like boiling water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

No matter what, it never calmed down.

"Commander, what's the matter?"

Yurt, the guard officer who was standing outside the door, hurriedly pushed the door and ran in after hearing the call again.

"Any news?"

George White asked with a frown on his face and an ugly face.

"Commander, the communications corps only set off half an hour ago, and there is no news yet!"

Although this question has been asked six times in the past half hour, George White has asked it. But Yurt knew that when the commander was in a bad mood, he had better be careful. So although I was a little impatient in my heart, my face was still very respectful.

After listening to his words, George White's brow furrowed even deeper!

Although, because of the distance, he didn't know where such a big explosion happened. However, according to George White's guess, it should be Damanhur who is the most likely.

In addition to the directional reasons, it is only in Damanhur, the logistics reserve base of the British army on the left that there will be enough explosives to produce an explosion as large as just now.

"If that's the case, then we're in danger!" thought to George White.

No one better understood than him, the commander of the Egyptian Dispatch of the British Army, that Damansour was against the British army. In particular, he was commanding the important role of the Western Route Army.

Without logistical supplies from there, the 300,000 British soldiers in his hands would lose their ability to continue fighting.

And a rifle without bullets. It was no different from a burning stick, and it had to be slaughtered by the Egyptians.

In addition, this is not what George White is most worried about, what really worries him is whether the Egyptians have destroyed the British army stationed in Damansur and occupied it.

Because, once this happens, it means that their back road is cut off.

In the absence of enough ammunition. Then he had to face the front and rear attacks of the Egyptian army, so anyone who had fought understood that his 300,000 British troops would be in danger of annihilation!

It is precisely because of this that I thought of it. George White is so anxious as he is now.

But even if he was in a hurry at the moment, he knew that it would take at least more than an hour to get the news from Damansur, 80 kilometers away. Of course, it will take three hours if it is a round trip. And this is still based on the fact that the two sides are connected by rail.

Come to think of it. George White couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Before. He never imagined that the Second Anglo-Egyptian War would be fought like this under his command.

Originally, he thought that with the superior forces and weapons and equipment in his hands, he didn't need any strategy and tactics at all.

You just need to rely on your strength and push all the way through.

Maybe in three months, or even less, he will be able to end this war and wipe out the Egyptians. Let the British Empire add another colony. And he will also reap a great victory of fame and fortune, and thus go down in history.

But all this. All of them were completely shattered by the sharp and unexpected counterattack of the Egyptians in less than a month after the start of the war.

Under the cities of Tanta and Mansura, the 10th and 13th armies of the British Army Egypt, with a total of 160,000 men, were almost completely annihilated.

After the reinforcement of troops to the south again, the British troops from Alexandria and Port Said encountered unprecedented resistance.

The elusive Egyptian guerrillas were looking for trouble for the British almost every day.

Although the threat they posed was not great, the guerrilla tactics of piecemeal fighting every day had already caused the deaths of more than 2,000 British and Indian troops and 197 regular British soldiers in less than a month.

Their threat grew, and so did the British Army.

Of course, if this was all there was, George Whitehead was not too worried, because no amount of guerrillas could decide the outcome of a war.

However, it is now the combat ability of the Egyptian army on the frontal battlefield, and their tenacious fighting spirit, that really surprised George White.

Especially in the Second Tanta War, the Egyptian rescue ** in the case of troops, weapons, and the quality of soldiers is not superior, wisely gave up the field battle, but all the people cowered in the city of Tanta, forcing George White to fight urban warfare with them, so that the Egyptian army, which was not superior in weapons and equipment, with the help of the familiar urban terrain, inflicted heavy losses on the British army.

In the three-day Battle of Tanta, the 300,000 British troops in the hands of George White, although they were supported by strong fire from nearly 200 cannons within the legion, did not even attack the perimeter of Tanta City, but continued to lose troops.

Now, coupled with the big explosion from the rear last night, George White feels more and more about the difficulty of this war in Egypt.

"Yurt, get me the quartermaster at once! And send all the officers that tomorrow Tanta's attack plan is canceled, so that all troops do not let their guard down, and watch out for the possible return of the Egyptians!"

After pacing around the headquarters a few times, George White quickly gave several orders in succession.

"Yes, Commander!"

......

"Let's hope things don't get too bad in Damansour!"

Listening to the sound of Jurter's departing footsteps, George White looked in the direction of Damansur in the distance, and muttered to himself with a worried expression.

And just when George White was worried about the future of his 300,000 British troops. The city of Tanta, which was shrouded in darkness, had begun to boil gradually.

With the order of Commander Xiao Zhan, a steady stream of Egyptian troops began to emerge from underground tunnels and bunkers, as well as various fortifications.

And soon, under the leadership of their respective officers, they gathered into a neat phalanx!

And the hundreds of artillery pieces that had been hidden all along, under the drag of the artillery, slowly pulled in, and the artillery positions that had been prepared for them a long time ago.

At this moment, the remaining 180,000 Egyptian troops in Tanta City, under the control of the Dragon's Tooth Special Forces, are now ready for all the preparations before the attack.

Standing in front of the windowsill of the tallest mosque in Tanta City, Xiao Zhan looked at the army that was gathering below with a smile on his face, and turned to Wu Yun beside him and said, "Have all the manpower been arranged?"

"Well, it's been ready for a long time!"

"Our ace sniper has now blended into the Egyptian army! I believe that with his shot, it will definitely be foolproof!" Wu Yun said with an affirmative expression.

"Is it Longgang?"

"Not bad!"

"Then I'm relieved!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhan lowered his head and looked towards the middle-aged Egyptian soldier downstairs, who was surrounded by many senior Egyptian officers at the moment, with a smug smile on his face.

After snorting coldly, he said coldly: "'Knowing people and knowing faces, but knowing hearts' It seems that this sentence is really not wrong at all." It's only been a long time since these people have forgotten who they are! How dare they question our military orders! I really don't know how to write dead words!"

Thinking of the scene in the underground headquarters just now, Xiao Zhan's eyes became a little colder.

After listening to his words, Wu Yun's expression was somewhat ugly.

"Power is a poison that corrupts people's hearts, it depends on whether you have the determination and means to resist it, it is obvious that that guy does not have it, so he is going to die!"

"Fortunately, after this war, the British should also be able to stop for a while. Otherwise, it's really hard for us to start!" Speaking of this, Wu Yun's face showed a hint of happiness.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan also nodded in agreement.

If too many senior commanders are lost at once in a war, it is easy to cause confusion in the command of the troops.

At that time, Tanta may be easily destroyed in the attack of the British, which Xiao Zhan, as a commander, does not want to see.

However, this is no longer the case. The defeat of the British gave them the best opportunity to clean up the interior.

"Okay, let's go, these guys who don't know the height of the sky are just a small trouble, the British are our main enemy! I believe that the battle of Tanta will become more and more tragic in the future, and we must prepare in advance. ”

Hearing this, Wu Yun nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "Really, why do these Egyptians not know vigilance and discipline so much? There are always so many careerists who want to overthrow us, they are really like weeds, they can't kill us endlessly, it's really too troublesome!"

Thinking of the other Egyptian military high-ranking officials who were also delusional to get out of their control and were secretly cleaned up, Wu Yun shook his head and walked down behind Xiao Zhan.

Looking at the two figures that disappeared into the darkness, Muhammad... A gleam flashed in Muve's eyes.

He knew that these mysterious people who had kept themselves in black robes all day were terrible, and when they were first trained, any one of these black robes could easily hit nearly 300 soldiers in their entire company at that time, giving Muhammad Muwe, who was joining the army for the first time at that time, a huge shock.

Of course, strong personal force is still secondary, the key is that these mysterious people, obviously with this powerful force behind them, can be easily guessed just by looking at the continuous replenishment of weapons and equipment they can obtain.

And this is what Mohammed Muwe values now, because after so many years of war, he knows very well that without the help of external forces, it will be too difficult for the Egyptians to defeat the invading British and win their independence on their own.

But as the people of Allah, Egypt cannot be controlled by outsiders, even if they are now friends of the Egyptians. (To be continued.) )
