Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3247 The Power of Artillery

Not only Churchill did not have this awareness, but Giovanni, Emposs, and Brauchitsch also did not believe that the Chinese fleet had the ability and determination to continue to attack Britain.

In Egypt, Bai Liusu gave the order to attack as the troops under his command assembled and underwent two to three days of adaptive training.The Chinese Supreme Command attaches great importance to this military operation to help the Farouk dynasty of Egypt fight against the armed forces of the "Free Officers Organization".As the world's most important oil producing area, the importance of the Middle East has already begun to be highlighted at this time.And if you want to have considerable influence in Middle East affairs, there is no doubt that Egypt will be a good springboard.In view of this, in the telegram to Bai Liusu, Ouyang Yun specially added, "In this battle, you must win and you must not lose. Not only that, but you must win beautifully, and you must be able to show our Chinese military power and leave a deep impression on the people in the Middle East." ".

The reason why I want to impress the people in the Middle East is also to prepare for the promotion of the United Nations to the Middle East.With the tiger flag of the United Nations, China has a legitimate reason to intervene in the Middle East, and can also construct political or military interventions to safeguard China's interests in the Middle East.

In the Middle East, Gu Lianyun was doing it as early as Ouyang Yun's first visit to Egypt to attend the Cairo Conference.In order to ensure that Gu Lianyun's efforts at this time will not make China a target of public criticism on the Middle East issue in the future, Ouyang Yun also reached an agreement with the Anglo-Iranian Petroleum Company through Lu Hanni, that is, the two parties will jointly fund the establishment of a joint venture in Egypt and Iran. Conduct oil exploration.Of course, the controlling stake in the joint venture must be in the hands of the Chinese side.

This newly established company named "Middle East Petroleum" has already bought no less than ten pieces of land in Egypt and other places in the Middle East, and without exception, these places will become famous oil producing areas in the future.

One ulterior reason why Ouyang Yun tried his best to promote the establishment of a military base in Cairo was to escort the oil in the Middle East.And as long as Farouk is still in charge of the Egyptian regime, Ouyang Yun believes that the Chinese army will always be able to rely on the Middle East and become a more rogue existence than the American army stationed in the Middle East in future generations.

Closer to home, in order to demonstrate force and leave an indelible impression on the people of the Middle East with a battle like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, the Supreme Command provided Bai Liusu with many advanced weapons that are not currently equipped by the domestic front-line troops.Considering actual combat, among these weapons, regiment and battalion-level support weapons are the main ones.Among them, including the "Five Sacred Mountains" wheeled armored vehicle and the "Jiguang VI" medium tank, which have just come out.

The "Five Sacred Mountains" armored vehicle is equipped with a front 35mm machine gun, three "Qubing Type 56" general-purpose machine guns, with a maximum speed of 75 kilometers per hour; the "Jiguang VI" medium tank is equipped with an 85mm Smoothbore gun, two "Qubing Type 56" general-purpose machine guns, and a launcher on the left and right positions of the turret, which can fire "Great Wall II" armor-piercing rockets.

The troops of the three divisions and two brigades, in order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, Bai Liusu sent two divisions and one brigade to attack Damietta in two ways.

In view of the strong combat power of the action team led by Zhang Xuyun in Damietta, under the order of Nasser, the "Freedom Officers Organization" stepped up its reconnaissance efforts in Cairo.Therefore, as soon as the Chinese army was dispatched, the "Freedom Officers Organization" received the information.

The large-scale massing of Chinese troops in Cairo was indeed a huge threat to Nasser, but it also helped him unify the anti-Farouk forces.Compared with the armed forces under the "Free Officers Organization", although other Egyptian rebel forces are also composed of active-duty troops, they are much weaker in terms of equipment and training.In addition, the "Freedom Officers Organization" had shown to other rebel forces early on that they were backed by the British, so when China, an enemy much stronger and more evil than the Farouk regime, appeared, it was natural that Nasser and his The "Freedom Officers Organization" became the beacon of these rebel forces.After the Chinese army launched the Western Expedition, it was natural to take refuge in the past.

The first battle was fought in Benha, about [-] kilometers away from Cairo.

It took only one hour and five minutes for a division led by Zhang Xuyun to lead a brigade from Cairo to Benha.In response to the needs of the Chinese side, Farouk removed a battalion from the conscious guards to take away the leading party.Benha is considered to be an old city in Egypt, but perhaps due to the influence of architectural habits, the defense does not look very good.

Standing on an armored vehicle, Zhang Xuyun took a look through the binoculars, and then asked the leader of the Leading Party, an Egyptian colonel, "Commander Seidely, does His Majesty need a complete Benha?"

Seidely was about 40 years old and had an exaggerated beard. He thought for a while and said, "As long as the rebels can be defeated, I don't think His Majesty the King will care whether Benha is intact."

His brows twitched, feeling sad that there is such a person as king in Egypt, his face was expressionless, Zhang Xuyun said: "OK, then, half an hour, half an hour later we will go to the next city."

Before setting off, Bai Liusu gave Zhang Xuyun only one order, and that was to make a quick decision.

Chen Shichang and the others have already launched an air strike on London, and once the air strike starts, it cannot be stopped.However, with the supplies provided by the Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet, if they want to ensure the strength of the air strike, they can only maintain it for a week.In other words, within three days, Bai Liusu and the others must take down Damietta, so that they can ensure enough time to deliver supplies to the Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet.

The artillery sounded without warning, and before the artillery of the Chinese army fired, more than two thousand rebels were preparing to defend against the walls of Benha.

"We will let the Chinese shed enough blood every step forward, and we will let the Chinese understand that they cannot defeat the fighters of Allah!" This is what Nasser said at the war mobilization meeting.

Because of his experience of studying in the UK, Nasser knew very well what the huge gap in equipment meant for modern warfare.Just because he knew this, he knew very well that if the anti-Falouk armed forces want to win this war, they can only rely on the fighting will of the soldiers.

There is nothing wrong with his point of view, but he still underestimated the firepower of the Chinese army.

Before the battle, Zhang Xuyun had said that it would take half an hour to resolve the battle. In fact, the battle started within a quarter of an hour, and Ben Ha's rebels couldn't bear it anymore.

The artillery fire of the Chinese army was so fierce that many of the fortifications that the Egyptians painstakingly built were blown to pieces before they could last for 5 minutes.Not only that, the last line of defense that the rebels relied on against Farouk's armed forces, the city wall of Benha, also failed to exert its power as Nasser and the others had hoped.No. 20 minutes into the bombardment, Benha was facing the city wall of Cairo and it was completely bombed down, and more than [-] Egyptian soldiers above were either killed by the bombing or buried by the city wall, and in the end there were only more than [-] people survived.
