349 Mr. Wang cheated me thousands of times, I treated Mr. Wang like a whiteboard of first love
349 Mr. Wang has tricked me thousands of times. I treat Mr. Wang like my first love. I can’t afford to hurt Whiteboard 120.
Zhu Daizhen used a telescope to observe the Turkish army's defense line in the distance...
"It is said that the Turkish army is invincible," Chen Hongda, the former top enemy commander of the Marine Corps standing next to the tank, put down his telescope, "but just looking at the layout of this defense line, it still looks impressive."
Since Lin Youde has decided to give face to the newly elected President Yuan Shikai and give up the credit for the occupation of Baghdad in exchange for the de facto autonomy of the five southeastern provinces, the large force of the Marine Corps is still on the way from Basra to Baghdad in order to "clear up and suppress"
In the name of the "Arab Remnant Party", Chen Hongda, a former enemy commander, only had Zhu Daizhen's armored regiment under his command and the Landebel special infantry that provided protection and support for the newly promoted Guards God Natasha Petevich Stolypin.
Corps, and this special infantry regiment was nominally under the command of Chen Hongda, but he was not stupid enough to actually give orders to this regiment.
With the development of the naval system, many aspects have been beyond Lin Youde's control. Lin Youde has always hoped to establish a clean and efficient organization and completely eradicate the other side of the bureaucracy. But in fact, this is just his wishful thinking. Whether it is the navy or Lin Ji's internal affairs,
, now complex factional relationships have long been formed, and the political struggles between them are not necessarily simpler than between the navy and the army, or between the army and civilians and businessmen.
It's just that Lin Youde's personal reputation is too high and he has a group of important ministers with first-class loyalty and ability, so the conflicts within the system have been suppressed and it still maintains relatively efficient operation.
However, contradictions still exist and cannot be ignored.
Therefore, although Chen Hongda is Lin Youde's student and belongs to the most powerful "disciple sect" in the system, he will never take the risk of making the newly promoted Guard God displeased by directly transferring that young lady's direct team.
Therefore, Chen Hongda actually only had Zhu Daizhen's armored regiment in his hands. There was not much he could do in the upcoming critical battle. In fact, he planned to just stay by and watch the army's performance.
However, Zhu Daizhen, who was promoted from a junior officer to a junior officer, obviously considered the problem in a different direction than Chen Hongda.
He put down his binoculars, his face looking a little worried: "If we attack this line of defense purely with infantry, we will probably suffer heavy losses. I think tank troops should be deployed to provide guidance for the infantry attack."
"There is no need for that. Land warfare is the Army's specialty. Let's just watch them perform well."
Zhu Daizhen was silent for a while and then said: "Then at least, let us get close to the front line and provide direct fire support to the Army. This can also effectively reduce the Army's casualties and sell the Army a favor."
Chen Hongda thought for a while and said: "If the Army makes such a request, then let's do it like this."
Zhu Daizhen stared at Chen Hongda's profile and said nothing for a long time.
At this time, Chen Hongda spoke: "You should also know that I was born in Baiyufan. My original job was to engage in political work. I became a military commander just because of circumstances. For me, political work is my job, and this is what I know how to do.
The main reason why Mr. Lin was placed in the Middle East to take charge of this joint operation with the Army was that he believed that I, who once led the Nanyang Army's Northward Detachment and was stationed at Tianjin Guard, could grasp the right balance. Therefore, even if your suggestion is completely correct in military terms
, I may not necessarily agree."
Zhu Daizhen nodded.
Chen Hongda continued: "Master Lin seems to be very optimistic about you. After this war, you will most likely be selected into his workshop. With your military exploits, after passing the workshop you will command at least one division, so from now on
At the beginning, you also need to learn to look at military issues from other perspectives."
Zhu Daizhen looked a little surprised.
"Workshop? Me?"
"Of course," Chen Hongda grinned at the young armor commander, "There is even a saying that when the tank crew was selected, you were not on the list, but Mr. Lin added it himself. Regardless of whether this statement is true or not
, there is no doubt that Mr. Lin is very concerned about you."
Zhu Daizhen couldn't help but raise her right hand and touched the portrait of Lin Youde pinned to her chest - this portrait is very popular among young officers in the Marine Corps and Navy, and is said to bring good luck on the battlefield.
Chen Hongda looked at the young man's actions and smiled without saying a word.
At this time, the Army began to shell the Turkish army's defense lines, so the Marine officers gathered on the sand dunes all picked up their binoculars.
"This artillery fire is quite accurate." Someone immediately praised, "At least Old Beiyang is not necessarily worse than us in terms of artillery training."
"More than half of their first-generation artillery officers were taught by Germans. Don't underestimate them." Chen Hongda said, "In addition, the infantry's tactical literacy is not necessarily worse than ours. Many of the old troops were trained in fierce battles.
In contrast, our grassroots infantry relies a little too much on advanced weapons."
"Our tank soldiers are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles." Someone said.
Zhu Daizhen smiled, her expression a little shy.
At this moment, the slightly frightened voice of the guard came from behind everyone: "Uh, close, Lord Guard Kamiki is here!"
After a brief pause, everyone turned around in a uniform movement and stood at attention to salute the Ukrainian girl in full military uniform. Even though it was on the sand, the sound of the heels of big leather shoes clinking together was still loud.
Natasha held a gorgeous parasol with golden tassels on the edge in her left hand, and fanned herself with a pure white folding fan in her right hand. The front of Konoe Kamimei's uniform was open all the way to the third fan.
Buttons, the snow-white mountains on the chest are almost half-naked, and the fine beads of sweat on the soft skin make people think a lot.
"Why haven't we moved forward?" She didn't mind the looks of several young staff officers at all. She walked straight to Chen Hongda and asked in English with a heavy Russian accent, "Staying in this hot desert is really a torture. I have already
I can’t wait to go to the city ahead and take a good bath.”
"Miss Natasha, according to Mr. Lin's wishes, this place should be handed over to the Army. If you feel the heat is unbearable, you can retreat to the rear first."
"Is this an order you gave as the former enemy commander?"
"No, no, this is just my personal suggestion."
Natasha didn't speak, but pressed Chen Hongda with her sharp eyes, but Chen Hongda had no intention of giving in.
After fighting for a while, Natasha gave up first. After looking away, she walked through the crowd and walked to the top of the sand dune. She closed the folding fan in her hand with a snap and handed it to her orderly. She then took the telescope from the orderly's hand.
, and began to look at the Turkish defense line in the distance that was being bombarded by intensive artillery fire.
After observing for a while, she turned to look at Chen Hongda: "I don't know much about the attack and defense of the fortress. According to your previous enemy commander's judgment, how long will it take for the army to capture this stronghold?"
"This depends on the Turkish army's will to resist." Chen Hongda immediately replied, "Under normal circumstances, such a heavily fortified city can resist for half a month or even longer when faced with the army's equipment."
"That's it." Natasha nodded and handed the telescope back to the orderly. "Next, I decided to use the heavily fortified city of the Turks to test the breakthrough ability of the Emperor's Shadow Blade. This is my personal arbitrary decision. Command from the front.
Your Excellency, please report this to the Navy Headquarters, thank you."
After saying that, Natasha smiled at Chen Hongda, flicked her trademark thick braid and left the small sand dune, leaving a bunch of Marine officers looking at each other. (To be continued.
