The tug-of-war between the two sides has been going on, and the casualties are also very heavy. However, because the Chinese army has the support of naval guns and aircraft, the casualties are much smaller than that of the Saar army, and most of the casualties are the Japanese and Japanese who are rushing at the front.
The Saint Martin soldiers, the Chinese soldiers of the Chinese Empire, actually did not suffer many casualties.
"Reinforcements, I need reinforcements. Send a report immediately. I need a lot of reinforcements." Major General Meng Ge's eyes were red. He had not slept all day and night, and all the reserves in his hands had been filled into the battlefield, but he still could not defeat the opponent.
Drive down the Sinai Canal.
Although the Chinese Allied Forces suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese soldiers clung to their positions on the river bank and did not retreat even a step. Subsequent troops continued to cross the canal, replenishing the casualties one after another. At this time, the Chinese Imperial Army
Only then did Fang's senior generals realize how wise it was to send the servant army to the battlefield.
The continuous fierce fighting in the Canal Zone was like a meat grinder, with more than 20,000 people killed in just one day and night. Compared with this casualty ratio, and with the extremely high pensions of the Chinese Empire, the country would go bankrupt in a few months.
The servant army is different. Even if they die, they will not need any money from the imperial government. At most, they will be able to share some benefits with these countries after the war, which is quite good.
Su Zhizhen sat in the command post with his eyes closed and he was meditating. Although he seemed to be leisurely, his mind was not at peace. At this time, he was continuing to close his eyes and meditate, thinking about all aspects of the battle and the comparison of the forces of both sides. Although China has now achieved
There was a certain advantage, but he knew in his heart that this was only temporary. The other party was increasing its troops, but his own side had no more troops to send to him.
Su Zhizhen can only use the 400,000 Chinese troops, 200,000 Japanese troops and 500,000 Saint Martin troops to fight against the increasing number of Saar troops. Not only that, the opponent's air force will also become more and more numerous, and will eventually be outnumbered by numbers.
With the overwhelming advantage of gradually gaining control of the air, not to mention the Mediterranean fleet watching eagerly from the side, the Chinese army is actually in a very dangerous situation.
"Commander Su, I'm already here." As soon as the door of the headquarters opened, Sun Xiaohu, dressed in a navy general's uniform, walked in quickly.
Su Zhizhen opened her eyes and smiled: "You're here, sit down quickly."
Sun Xiaohu sat down beside him and said with a smile: "Commander Su, what's the matter with calling me here?"
Su Zhizhen personally poured a glass of water for Sun Xiaohu and said: "Yes, I have something to discuss with you. The offensive situation of our Chinese Allied Forces seems to be beautiful, but the current situation is actually very dangerous, so we need to fight quickly.
However, the opponent's desperate resistance has seriously slowed down our progress in controlling both sides of the Sinai Canal. If this continues, we may be overwhelmed by more and more Sar reinforcements."
Sun Xiaohu frowned and said, "I know this too, but what can we do?"
"Landing, landing behind the enemy's rear, completely blocking their throats. Only by occupying an area on the south bank of the Sinai Canal that is large enough for us to set up a defensive posture can we possibly stop the attack of the Sal reinforcements." Su Zhizhen walked to the wall hanging on the wall.
He pointed at the map in front of him and said: "I hope you can cover the Japanese soldiers of the First Marine Corps and the two corps to land on Nick Beach, and then directly attack here, Cairo."
Sun Xiaohu also walked to the map, looked at it carefully for a while and said: "No problem, I promise to complete the mission."
Su Zhizhen said solemnly: "But I hope you can leave the battleships behind and let them continue the bombardment across the bank, because without your naval gun cover, I'm afraid the troops ashore will not be able to hold the position on the south bank of the Sinai Canal."
Sun Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will leave the battleship formation behind and use the aircraft carrier formation to cover the landing."
Su Zhizhen smiled and nodded: "This landing operation is very important. Once successful, we can control most of the Nile River area. If it fails, we will have to withdraw our troops to the north bank and stick to it."
Sun Xiaohu nodded: "I will try my best and never let the Sar people take advantage."
For this landing operation, Sun Xiaohu ordered the fleet staff to formulate a very detailed battle plan. During the battle, the minesweeping squadron of the Imperial Southern Ocean Fleet braved artillery fire to clear all the mines laid by the Sars in the Sinai Canal.
Subsequently, in order to contain the Saar Mediterranean Fleet, all the submarines of the Southern Ocean Fleet took advantage of the chaos during the war to quietly pass through the Sinai Canal and head towards the Mediterranean. Their mission was to harass the Allied Powers' transportation lines in the Mediterranean and provide protection for their own land.
Fight to buy time.
Nick Beach is located 130 kilometers south of the Sinai Canal. It is located on the edge of the desert area. The surrounding areas are extremely desolate and almost uninhabited. The Allied forces stationed here only have one regiment of Saar soldiers, that is
This small number of troops was also transferred due to tightness on the front line.
Currently, there is only a 3,000-strong coast guard stationed here near Nick Beach, composed of local people. However, it is more appropriate to call it a warning team than a coast guard. These people lack training and equipment.
The weapons are all old-fashioned single-shot rifles that have been phased out by the Saer Army. Except for some of the reinforced concrete shore defenses and shore defense artillery built in the past, which are still sharp, they are no different from the militia.
Early that morning, Kabu walked up to his sentry post, stretched out, and yawned loudly. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked into the distance as a habit. Suddenly his eyes froze, intersecting between the sky and the sea.
There, a group of black shadows were approaching.
He rubbed his eyes again and observed carefully. Yes, it was a group of black shadows, approaching at an extremely fast speed. Soon, a group of iron birds that he had never seen before appeared in the sky. Before he could scream, a huge
The bomb was dropped, and the huge explosion shock wave sent debris from nearby coastal fortifications flying.
The first batch to fly were carrier-based aircraft from the three aircraft carriers attached to the Southern Ocean Fleet.
The Chinese Navy currently has five aircraft carriers of two classes. Among them, the 'Eagle's Nest' is the earliest experimental seaplane carrier with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons built. However, as the performance of the aircraft is getting better and better, this small aircraft carrier has taken off new
This type of aircraft seems a bit dangerous. Fortunately, this aircraft carrier has always been positioned as a seaplane carrier, and now it has been specially equipped with Exocet type water reconnaissance aircraft, which can carry a total of twenty-one aircraft.
The other two are the newly commissioned 'Governor'-class aircraft carriers. This class of aircraft carriers are named after the new governors of the Chinese Empire. These big guys of more than 40,000 tons can carry a hundred aircraft.
, two of them were assigned to the Eastern Ocean Fleet, while the 'Zheng Ming' and 'Wu Yuntong' were assigned to the Southern Ocean Fleet. This time Sun Xiaohu sent all the aircraft carriers out.
The navy's carrier-based aircraft has always been the focus of Fang Xiaoyu's research, so the aircraft carried on these aircraft carriers are more advanced than those of the army.
In addition to the Exocet water reconnaissance aircraft, there are two types of carrier-based aircraft, one is the Sailfish fighter aircraft, and the other is the Swordfish attack aircraft.
The Sailfish fighter uses a 610-horsepower nine-cylinder air-cooled engine, an all-metal skin, and uses the latest three-blade fixed-pitch propeller instead of the previous two-blade propeller. The aircraft adopts a low-wing design, and the speed can reach an hour
432 kilometers, with a maximum ceiling of 9,830 meters, a cruising range of 1,200 kilometers, and is equipped with two 12.7mm machine guns and one crew member.
In order to increase the take-off weight, the Swordfish attack aircraft uses an old-fashioned bi-wing shape. In order to reduce the weight of the aircraft, it also abandons heavy wood and uses duralumin alloy as the skin. The aircraft is equipped with a 700-horsepower nine-cylinder air-cooled engine, with a maximum
The speed is 222 kilometers per hour, the ceiling is 3260 meters, the maximum range is 1658 kilometers, and it can accommodate two people.
The front cockpit of the Swordfish aircraft is the pilot, and the rear is the observer and machine gunner. A seven-millimeter self-defense machine gun is installed at the rear of the aircraft. This attack aircraft can mount a 400-millimeter caliber torpedo or a 500-kilogram bomb.
At this time, they were carrying two 250 kilogram bombs.
What attacked Nick Beach at this time was a huge fleet of aircraft taking off from these three aircraft carriers. There were a total of fifteen Exocet reconnaissance aircraft, twenty Sailfish fighter jets, and fifty-eight Swordfish attack aircraft. Although these aircraft were not land-based,
Based on the huge bomb load of the Kunpeng bomber, it is more than enough to bomb these simple coastal fortifications.
The intensive bombing by planes panicked the native garrison who had little combat experience. They had no air defense capabilities and no experience in air defense. When the bombs exploded intensively, most of them actually chose to flee.
As a result, countless soldiers were killed by shrapnel. Others hid in the fortifications and shivered. These gods of death in the sky, which they had never seen before, left their minds completely blank.
Soon a huge fleet appeared on the horizon. The 'Wanghai' class heavy cruiser slowly raised its gun muzzle and began its first bombardment of the fortifications on the shore. A large number of transport ships quickly approached the beach. Several ships
The navy's specially built amphibious landing ships opened their rear hatches one after another, and a large number of Weasel 1 tanks slid down the ramp into the shallow sea. These amphibious light tanks specially built for the Marine Corps can sail in the water for short distances. They
Drive slowly towards the shore at a slow speed.
The first to land were still a large number of Japanese soldiers in assault boats. These people held rifles and shouted slogans and charged towards the fortress of the indigenous garrison. The Japanese soldiers' charge attracted most of the garrison's attention.
Under their cover, the Marines boarded the Weasel 1 tank safely and landed on the beach.
After landing, the Marine infantry raised their weapons and fired wildly at the gun holes of the cement fortifications, making the garrison unable to lift their heads. The engineering troops used the rocket launchers and explosive packs in their hands to solve these fortifications one by one. The native garrison originally fought
He was not very strong-willed and quickly surrendered under such a fierce attack.
