Chapter 638 Eve
April 10th, night.
Hamadan.
"General, a small group of Chinese troops arrived at the port of Salalah. Colonel Sangera reported that he had built a complete defense line and was also organizing troops to destroy the deep-water port wharf."
Cole hurriedly opened the door and found that a middle-aged man dressed in Russian [***] with the rank of major general had come to the headquarters and was standing in front of the map with Lieutenant General Allenby.
"Real is it? Is our Chinese friend finally here? It's a pity that they can't come to Avas. Allenby took the telegram, glanced and turned to the Russian major general, laughing, "Isn't it right? Dear General Yarich,
"Yes."
The Russian major general named Yarich laughed: "My cavalry has arrived in Bakhtaran and can attack Disfleur by tomorrow night at the latest, so now even if their army lands, it is too late. Even if those infantry are helped by trucks, it will take at least 10 days to arrive in Kuwait from the port of Salalah. And the area is full of deserts, and the roads are very difficult.
As long as we cooperate with our infantry to keep up, maybe we can enter Avas in the morning the day after tomorrow, and enter Kuwait in two days, and then gather all our strength to wait for the Chinese army to fall into the net in Sefaniye.
Major General Yarich's proud words made Cole frown. To be honest, if it hadn't been for this damn war, he wouldn't have wanted to work with the Russians, because these guys were so arrogant that they even forgot that in Western Siberia, millions of troops were surrounded by others and could starve for a winter. The second half is good.
Allenby doesn't like this guy either, but he does have the capital to be proud. The 30,000 fierce and fearless elite Caucasian Cossack cavalry have just been equipped with cavalry guns and issued a large number of grenades. In addition to the natural assault ability of the cavalry, and the opponent is not guard against cavalry at this moment, so the victory is almost I put it in my pocket.
"General Yarich, please rest assured that your Caucasian Army Group Army Group has departed from Baku yesterday. They will contain the Ottoman army of Erzurum and cannot go south. Our Egyptian troops will also attack Jerusalem tomorrow, so that they can no longer support here.
And me!
50,000 infantry have been prepared in Disfowler, of which 10,000 are the most elite Carco infantry, and 20 tanks. In addition, there are 30,000 infantry on the other side of the Zohre River. Sefaniye has also stationed 40,000 infantry, 30 tanks and 50 cannons, which will eventually reach 70,000, and two battles. Fleet support, and." After introducing the deployment of troops against Greater Kuwait, Allenby suddenly said, "This time, I will personally command them to cooperate with you to break through the Greater Kuwait defense circle!"
Lieutenant General Allenby's words made Cole next to him suddenly cheer up. Everyone knows that compared with the old Ottoman, the key to the Battle of Mesopotamia is the 15,000 Xinhua Marine Corps stationed in the so-called Greater Kuwait. For them, the Lieutenant General almost pulled out nearly 60% of the troops of the front army this time, and also The U.S. and Italian troops with insufficient fighting spirit were pushed to Baghdad and replaced the best troops, plus Yarich's 30,000 elite Cossack cavalry, a full 180,000 troops!
As long as you can break through Avas and occupy Kuwait, you can attack Baghdad from both sides of the southeast and become an epic victory!
"Mt. Gen. Allenby, don't you want to review our Cossack cavalry with me?" After listening to Allenby's arrangement, Yarich was also extremely satisfied, as if he saw the abominable scene of the destruction of the Chinese and Ottomans under the speed of their Cossack cavalry.
"Cole, inform all troops to start the attack tomorrow morning!" Allenby grabbed the whip on the table. As soon as he got to the door, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Contact London and let them send someone to escort the aircraft engines and tanks. We will all get them this time!" -
"Bullet!"
"Save ammunition as much as possible, put it in and hit it again."
In the shouting of the soldiers, the thrifty reminder and two drums were suddenly thrown in front of him. Before he could even thank him, he quickly changed the drum and put the butttle back on his shoulder.
After a one-minute pause, he roared again. The four light machine guns formed a crossfire and sprinkled the fire on the enemy 100 meters away.
This is the only passage to the deep-water area of the port of Salalah. 120 seals were ordered to stay here until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Opposite them was a full 15,000 British-Italian coalition, and their opponents probably received a death order, so they almost rushed here desperately.
"Six o'clock, two speedboats!"
While shouting, Chang Gui looked at the sea and saw only two steamboats turning on the searchlights and rushing towards the dock. He immediately shouted, "Get ready for rockets."
At the same time, the thrower quickly loaded the rockets, and the front of the two steamboats spewed long tongues. The speed of the navy's heavy machine gun was much faster than that of the army. In an instant, two uninvitable seals were hit, and blood penetrated into the sea from the dock.
The thrower lay tightly behind the sandbag, regardless of the bullet passing over his head, or chirping on the thick sandbag. When the distance between the two steamboats was only 70 meters, the red flame flashed, and the long tail flame swept over the sea, bringing two gorgeous lius in the dark and plunged into the steamer.
Boom.
A violent explosion rose from a steamboat and ignited the gas engine behind it. The fire spread in an instant. More than a dozen Italian soldiers jumped into the sea with flames and swam desperately to the shore.
Although the other one avoided the rocket, it was also scared by this direct "cannonball" and was so scared that it immediately turned around and left without comrades-in-arms.
Suddenly, a column of water suddenly exploded from nearby, and the sea with the smell of gunpowder rushed to Chang Gui. Looking up, there was a fire on the two dive heavy gunboats that were tilted and destroyed and unable to move. It turned out that several British sailors actually used accessories to repair the 76mm damaged doors on them. Quick-fire guns, so they are used as temporary forts to support infantry.
"Cannonball!"
Chang Gui shouted loudly, and the sound of shelling brought countless fireballs, which kept blowing up from the seal position, and Colonel Sangera in the distant command post saw the opportunity.
"Go and kill these yellow monkeys!"
With artillery cover, the British army suddenly became restless. A British major shouted loudly and took the lead to charge. Under his leadership, thousands of British soldiers followed, bent down close to the nearby bunker, and lined up as a scattered line to attack forward.
As the war becomes more and more cruel, the combat mode of European infantry is also progressing, and the group charge has become rare, which is similar to the alternating cover impact mode of the scattered line used by the Xinhua Army.
"Yellow monkey?"
"Fry to your mother!"
In the dark, the sniper locked the scope to the British soldier rushing in front of him. Although he wanted to kill the shouting major, he chose to solve the frontal crisis first because of the distance and angle.
Bang, bang.
The gunfire was intermittent, but it was extremely crisp. Each shot took almost a soldier away. Gradually, the British found these snipers and immediately organized troops to suppress them.
Several fierce British soldiers were about to rush to the position. Suddenly, they felt something tripped under their feet. When they looked down, a dazzling fireball suddenly exploded from the pupil.
There were hundreds of steel balls and fragments in the special anti-infantry mine. After the explosion, all the British soldiers who charged nearby were immediately put to the ground, but before everyone cheers, the shell accurately hit a machine gun bunker. While the explosion broke a machine gun, it blew up several seals inside several meters away.
"Fuck you!"
Seeing that his comrades-in-arms were killed by the naval guns on the two monster warships, the investigators began to regret that they didn't do it a few days ago. Unexpectedly, they had become scrap metal. The British sailors could repair it, so they immediately twisted the muzzle with red eyes and aimed at the distance. Unfortunately, the distance was too far away, and the machine gun bullets were not injured at all. To the other party, his comrades-in-arms quickly grabbed him and reminded him to save bullets.
Seeing that they couldn't hit the other party, the investigation had to vent all their anger on the front British soldiers, and the dense bullets kept putting the enemy.
In the night, dense bullets shuttled back and forth. Although the seals fought very tenaciously, Chang Gui knew that if there was no support, he could not stay here at all, so he immediately asked the correspondent to contact the support again.
Just as the correspondent lowered his head and was about to call, a sharp roar came from a distance. He only saw a few fireballs suddenly explode on the two diving heavy gunboats. He turned his head and looked, and the fireballs flashed on the sea in the distance.
"The warship is our warship!" When the seals shouted excitedly and waved their fists, the correspondent also shouted, "Captain, it's the second destroyer squadron. They will cover this place in three minutes!"
Chang Gui swallowed his saliva. The naval cover shelling was not a joke, so he quickly jumped out of the bunker and shouted, "Get out of here, get out of here. The destroyer is going to carry out the cover shelling!"
Hearing the shouts, the rising investigators trembled all over. He quickly put away the machine gun and ran back. Three minutes later, when he finally jumped into the second line of defense, he felt that the earth under his feet seemed to tremble violently. Countless shells fell like raindrops among the British and Italian soldiers. The house was pushed down and the bunker changed. It turned into mud, and even the sandbag he had just hid had been blown to a few meters high.
"Well done! Blow up these white-skinned pigs!"
The sniper shouted while searching for the guy who called himself a yellow monkey just now. When he finally took out the guy in chaos with a scope, he saw a cannonball exploding at close range beside him before he could shoot.
After the smoke dissipated, there was no trace of this guy around.
Looking at the British-Italian coalition in front of them crazily dispersing under the naval gun, some seals shrank their heads. With the support of the destroyers, they were much more relaxed and even had enough time to smoke.
"Log in, there are still 6 hours left."
