Not only did Churchill not have this awareness, but also Giovanni, Ampos and Brauchitsch did not believe that the Chinese fleet had the ability and determination to continuously attack Britain.
In Egypt, as his troops completed the assembly and conducted two to three days of adaptive training, Bai Liusu issued an offensive order. For this military operation to help the Egyptian Farouk Dynasty attack the "Free Officers Organization" armed forces, China's Supreme Commander
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pays considerable attention to it. As the world's main oil producing area, the importance of the Middle East has begun to highlight at this time. 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 his telegram to Bai Liusu, Ouyang Yun specifically added, "In this battle, we must win without losing. Not only that, we must win beautifully, display the power of our Chinese military, and leave a deep impression on the people of the Middle East."
”.
The reason why we need to leave a deep impression on the people of the Middle East is to prepare for the introduction 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 it can also use political or military intervention to maintain China's presence in the Middle East.
interests.
Gu Lianyun's layout in the Middle East had already been done when Ouyang Yun visited Egypt for the first time to attend the Cairo Conference. In order to ensure that Gu Lianyun's efforts at this time would not make China the target of public criticism on the Middle East issue in the future, Ouyang Yun also
Through Luhanni and the Anglo-Iraqi Oil Company, an agreement was reached, that is, both parties will jointly fund the establishment of a joint venture to conduct oil exploration in Egypt and Iran and Iran. Of course, the controlling stake of the joint venture will definitely be in the hands of the Chinese side.
This newly established company called "Middle East Petroleum" has currently purchased no less than ten pieces of land in Egypt and other places in the Middle East. Without exception, these places will become famous oil producing areas in the future.
One of the ulterior reasons why Ouyang Yun tried his best to establish a military base in Cairo was to protect the oil in the Middle East. As long as Farouk was still in charge of the Egyptian regime, Ouyang Yun believed that the Chinese Army would be able to rely on it.
In the Middle East, he has become a more rogue entity than the U.S. military in the Middle East.
Closer to home, in order to demonstrate force and leave an everlasting impression on the people of the Middle East with a battle like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, the Supreme Command provided Bai Liusu with many advanced weapons that are currently not installed by domestic front-line troops. Considering that
In terms of practicality, these weapons are mainly regimental and battalion-level support weapons. Among them, they include the recently launched "Wuyue" wheeled armored vehicles and the "Jiguang VI" medium tank.
The "Wuyue" armored vehicle is equipped with a front-mounted 35 mm cannon and three "Qubing 56" general-purpose machine guns, with a maximum speed of 75 meters per hour; the "Jiguang VI" medium tank is equipped with a
An 85mm smoothbore cannon, two "Qubing 56" general-purpose machine guns, and a launcher on the left and right sides of the turret, which can fire "Great Wall II" armor-piercing rockets.
In order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, Bai Liusu sent two divisions and one brigade to attack Damietta in two directions.
In view of the strong combat power shown by the action group led by Zhang Xuyun personally in Damietta, under the order of Nasser, the "Free Officers Organization" strengthened its reconnaissance efforts in Cairo. Therefore, the Chinese *** team just dispatched, "
The Free Officers' Organization" received the information.
The large-scale assembly of Chinese *** troops in Cairo was indeed a huge threat to Nasser, and it also helped him to unify the anti-Farouq forces. Compared with the armed forces under the "Free Officers Organization", although other Egyptian rebel forces are also organized by
It is composed of active military forces, but both the equipment and training level are much weaker. In addition, the "Free Officers Organization" has long shown to other rebel forces that they have British support behind them. Therefore, when China is more powerful than Faruk
After the regime's much more powerful and evil enemies appeared, it was natural that Nasser and his "Free Officers Organization" became the beacon of these rebel forces. After the Chinese Communist Party launched its Western Expedition, it was natural for them to defect to the regime.
The first battle started in Benha, about fifty kilometers away from Cairo.
From Cairo to Benha, it only took one division led by Zhang Xuyun to lead a brigade of troops in one hour and five minutes. In response to the needs of the Chinese side, Farouk detached a battalion from the conscious guard to lead the way. Benha calculated
It is also an old city in Egypt. However, perhaps due to the influence of architectural habits, the defense does not look very good.
Standing on an armored vehicle, Zhang Xuyun looked around with a telescope, and then asked the leader of the party on the side, an Egyptian colonel: "Battal Commander Sedley, does His Majesty the King need a complete Benha?"
Sedley was about forty 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 cares whether Ben Ha is intact."
His brows twitched, feeling sad that there was such a person as the king of Egypt. With a dull look on his face, Zhang Xuyun said: "Okay, then, half an hour, we will go to the next city in half an hour."
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 attack on London, and once the air attack starts, it cannot be stopped. However, with the supplies brought by the aircraft carrier fleet Wu Dao Tian Wang, if they want to ensure the intensity of the air attack, they can only maintain it for a week.
That is to say, within three days, Bai Liusu and the others must capture Damietta. Only in this way can they ensure that they have enough time to deliver supplies to the aircraft carrier fleet Wu Dao Tian Wang.
The sound of artillery rang out without warning, and before the squadron's artillery fired, more than two thousand rebels on the city wall of Benha were preparing to defend with loaded guns.
"We will make the Chinese people shed enough blood every step forward. We will make the Chinese people understand that they cannot defeat the soldiers of Allah!" This is what Nasser said at the war mobilization meeting.
Because he had the experience of studying in the UK, Nasser knew very well what the huge gap in equipment meant for modern warfare. Because he knew this, he knew very well that if the anti-Farouq armed forces wanted to win this war, they had to
We can only rely on the fighting will of the soldiers.
There was nothing wrong with his view, but he still underestimated the firepower of the Chinese team.
Zhang Xuyun promised before the battle that it would take half an hour to resolve the battle. In fact, the battle started within a quarter of an hour before Benha's rebels could no longer bear it.
The Chinese army's artillery fire was so fierce that many of the fortifications that the Egyptians had painstakingly built were blown to pieces before they could last even five minutes. Not only that, the rebels' last remaining defense against Farouk's forces was
As a line of defense, Ben Ha's city wall failed to exert its power as Nasser and the others had hoped. Twenty minutes into the bombardment, Ben Ha's city wall facing Cairo was completely blown down, and more than two thousand Egyptian soldiers on it were trying to
Either they were killed by the bombing or they were buried by the city wall. In the end, only about two hundred people survived.
