Section 15 Pushing the Brits out

News of the war in South Africa spread to all over the world. In the Suez Canal area, the armies of both sides were also tense. According to the armistice agreement signed by China and Britain, in the Suez Canal area, half of the troops were stationed in the Suez Canal area. This canal belongs to the joint management of both sides. In other words, during the war, whether it is Chinese materials or British materials, they can pass through the Suez Canal. Many people said that China should be tougher so that they can drive the British out. After all, we have occupied the Suez Canal, so why bother to share half with the British?

However, China was not very powerful at that time, especially in the Mediterranean region. We had to go to South Africa, and we had not had so many fleets to station here. If the British counterattacked, we had to draw fleets from other places. China did not have so many fleets, so we could only make peace with the British. Britain wanted to pay part of the ransom and take the entire Suez Canal back, but how could Mao Yuanshan do this? Although China was also short of money at that time, the Suez Canal was a treasure trove, so the two sides signed a treaty. No matter whether it was a civilian ship or warship of any country, as long as it wanted to pass through the Suez Canal, it had to pay according to regulations, including all kinds of ships of the British Empire.

The British Empire expressed its objection at that time. The British Empire's ships passed through the Suez Canal for so many years and had never heard of paying for the fee. However, the Chinese side also said that either you pass this resolution, or we both sides can only fight. Although we, China, may not be able to win, but you, the British, may not be able to win in this situation, and the final result is to be cheaper. After repeated measurements, the British could only sign this treaty with China. The United States almost scolded Britain to death, but the British themselves knew that they would gather their forces to fight against China in the Mediterranean region. They really did not have the ability. The main thing at the beginning was to focus on Europe. As for the Mediterranean region, it could only be left to fate.

The troops stationed in the Suez Canal area are mainly the Second Marine Division, which is an ace division of the Chinese Marine Corps. The division has about 24,000 people, plus 170 aircraft, two heavy cruisers and an aircraft carrier, with six destroyers and three submarines. This is all the troops in the entire China.

According to regulations, the British also stationed enough troops here, but the British navy was a little too weak. They only had one aircraft carrier and two destroyers. As for the other troops, they were all transferred by the British. They either went to the Atlantic Ocean to escort, or followed the United States-British Fleet south. At this time, China felt that the opportunity had come. Since the United States and Britain had taken action against South Africa, is the agreement we signed still valid? Should we take the Suez Canal completely in our own hands? If this happens, all the resources transported from India will not be able to reach the United Kingdom, which will be a heavy blow to the entire British society.

Xu Dong is the commander of the Second Marine Division of the Marine Corps. This guy graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and is also a disciple of the emperor. He is known for his bravery in combat. At the time in the Middle East, Dai Anlan said that this kid was a figure. Later, after Dai Anlan's recommendation, this guy came to the Suez Canal to serve as the highest commander here. At present, he did a good job, but last night the General Staff sent him a telegram ordering him to capture the entire Suez Canal area within half a month. The 6th Marine Division was already on the way and was expected to arrive here in half a month.

In the Middle East, Diana Lan is also ready. 4,000 fast reaction troops can arrive in the Suez Canal area in the shortest time. In addition, Diana Lan has also prepared 200 combat aircraft, and they can also support it. The requirement is that there must be a field airport here. As long as there is a landing place, everything can be solved. Anyway, we are not short of energy here. It is so close to the Middle East that it can be transported here at any time.

Xu Dong looked at the map and his brows were about to frown. This matter sounds simple, but if it is really done, it may not be that simple. The forces of both sides can be said to be intertwined. Moreover, since the US-British Allied Forces went south, the British army within the port was on a first-level alert state. They were guarding against China and might have launched an attack on them. Before, the military relations between the two sides were still very good and both could be polite, but now the two countries are fighting hard. This politeness is more on the surface. As for what they think in their hearts, only one of them knows.

Xu Dong hoped to find a breakthrough on the map, but after studying for a long time, he found that it was impossible to get out of wit. If he wanted to gain control of the entire port, he could only launch a strong attack on the British army.

Since the rise of the security team, wars have always been done with hard fists. This is what Mao Yuanshan said himself, and the actual situation is basically the case. These generals have become accustomed to it. They don’t have so many intestines. They directly punched them, smashed your defenses with our weapons and ammunition, and broke your face with our weapons and ammunition, so that you can know the power of China. This has always been said by the General Staff. But when it comes to the war, these generals also know to analyze it. If they can use less force to achieve greater victory, it is good for anyone.

It can be seen from the map that the first place to be occupied is the British airport. The British built two airports in the Suez Canal area, one specially stationed for fighter jets and the other specially stationed for bombers. Now both airports are not full. As long as they occupy their airports, planes in the Middle East can fly over. Moreover, the airport guards only have two infantry battalions, about 1,800 people. As long as our attack is fast enough, it is no problem to take this place. Xu Dong had a general idea of ​​combat targets in his mind. Next, he recruited some military staff to make plans. He had to come up with a plan tonight.
