The Hanzhi area is located on the west side of the Arabian Peninsula, along the Red Sea coast. (Baidu search) This place was originally ruled by the Ottoman Empire, but after Britain, France and other countries began to invade one after another, the Ottoman Empire was unable to deal with it and had to retreat to the north. The Hanzhi area was
By chance, it became an independent region. The Hashem family, a family that was born out of the descendants of the founder of Islam, Mohammed. This gave the Hashem family a high prestige among the Arabs.
.Now the 38th generation patriarch of the Hashem family, Sharif Hussein Ibn Ali, Meccada, is the actual ruler of this region.
The Saudi family established the Saudi Kingdom, which gave the Hashem family great excitement. They also tried to establish a kingdom belonging to the Hashem family. However, what they did not expect was that before they could take action, the Saudi Kingdom went to
They declared war. The Hashem family controlled no more than 20,000 troops, and their equipment was backward, so they could not fight against the Saudi kingdom's army. For a time, the Hanzhi area fell one after another.
The Hashem family was unwilling to be annexed. In this case, Hussein Ibn Ali began to actively seek foreign aid. The British became Hussein Ibn Ali's first
The goal.
When Mecca was captured by the Saudi Kingdom at the end of August, important members of the Hashem family had already gone to Cairo, Egypt. There, they would meet with the British Governor to Egypt to discuss the issue of British support for the Hashem family.
It is lacking an excuse to enter the Arabian Peninsula. The arrival of the Hashem family undoubtedly gave Britain this opportunity. Since China can intervene in the Middle East on the excuse to help the Saudi family, then Britain and France can also intervene in the Middle East by helping the Hashem family.
Moreover, the Hashem family also had a high status among the Arabs, which was of great help to their colonization of the Arabian Peninsula.
Another deeper reason is that Britain and France can use this excuse to start a war with China on the Arabian Peninsula. However, there is no need to declare war on China directly. In the end, although the two sides of the war were China and Britain and France, in name,
It is a war between the Saudi family and the Hashem family that ruled the Saudi Kingdom. Whether it is China or Britain and France, they are just supporters of these two families. There is no direct declaration of war. There is no need to worry about entering the stage of full-scale war.
.Either China nor Britain nor France are willing to fight a full-scale war at this time. Therefore, both sides understand this excuse.
In early September, after a month of preparation, France's 30,000 expeditionary forces had already landed in the Palestinian region. There was a French colony, the Damascus region eastward, and the French sphere of influence, and the French army could move freely.
The British expeditionary force also arrived in the Sinai Peninsula. The war preparations were already ready.
At the same time, China's military mobilization has been completed. The Marine Corps of three divisions has arrived in Daman, Kazakhstan. A large amount of combat supplies have also begun to load and unload. However, before Britain and France continue to increase their troops, China will not
More troops will be dispatched. Three divisions operated on the Arabian Peninsula, and the logistics pressure was already very high.
On September 3, Britain and France officially announced that at the invitation of the Hashem family, war on the Saudi Kingdom began. 50,000 British and French expeditionary forces launched an attack on the Saudi Kingdom from the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula. The Saudi Kingdom army that had just won the battle was
When morale was in full swing, Saudi Prince Abdul Aziz rejected the Chinese military delegation's suggestion to lure the enemy into depth and launched a fierce battle with the British and French expeditionary forces in the northern border areas.
The area where the Saudi Kingdom and the British-French Expeditionary Forces fought fiercely was concentrated in the Tebuk area, which is an important city in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula. Prince Abdul Aziz concentrated 30,000 elite troops of the Saudi Kingdom here. The British-French coalition forces were concentrated here.
, more than 30,000 people were invested, and the Hashem family also invested nearly 10,000 troops.
The battle was very fierce. Although the Saudi army and its combat power were strong in the Middle East, they were still not good enough to face the old expeditionary forces of Britain and France. Whether it was equipment or training, compared with the British and French coalition forces, they were all
There is still a big gap. After three days of hard fighting, Tebuk was captured and the Saudi Kingdom lost more than 20,000 troops. Prince Abdul Aziz had to drop 10,000 defeated soldiers and defeated generals in a mess to the east.
Retreat and threw the entire western part of the Arabian Peninsula to the British and French coalition forces. In this battle, the British and French coalition forces also lost nearly 5,000 troops, and the Hashem family's army lost more than half. After all, the Saudi kingdom's army accepted it.
It is the training of Chinese officers, and the combat power cannot be underestimated!
After the Saudi Kingdom's army was defeated, the Hashem family immediately announced the establishment of the Hanzhi Kingdom in the western part of the Arabian Peninsula, and called on all Arabs to unite, support the orthodox Hashem family, and overthrow the brutal Saudi family. For a time, Saudi Arabia
The family is in a very difficult situation!
Saudi King Abdul Rahman urgently asked for the highest commander of the Chinese troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, Major General Li Hainan, commander of the 8th Marine Division, and asked for help. He knew that if the Chinese army did not take action, the Saudi Kingdom would not be able to do so.
Resist the attack of the British and French coalition forces.
Of course, China cannot stand by and watch. China's interests are all tied to the Saudi Kingdom. If the Saudi Kingdom is overthrown, then China's previous efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, in addition to the Ninth Division, the other eighth and tenth Divisions, immediately advanced westward, in addition to the Ninth Division, left to guard the Kazakhstan area. However, the Chinese army could not adapt to the climate of the Arabian Peninsula.
In addition to the traffic problems, the advancement speed is too slow. Fortunately, the British and French coalition forces also face this problem, and neither side takes advantage of this.
On September 27, the Chinese army and the British and French coalition encountered a fierce battle in the Breedy area in the central Arabian Peninsula. Here the two sides launched a fierce battle. The British and French coalition forces had a total force of more than 40,000 troops, while the Chinese army had only more than 30,000 troops.
Even if the Saudi army is added to 10,000 Saudi Arabia's army, it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. However, the number of troops cannot determine the victory of a war. Although the Chinese army does not have an advantage in terms of military strength, it is in terms of combat strength.
, but far above the British and French coalition forces.
The two Marine Divisions of the Chinese army have hundreds of artillery more than 105 mm, and the equipment of the Marine Division is exactly the same as that of the Army Division. However, in order to facilitate landing, there are more light weapons and equipment. The British and French coalition forces have more than 40,000 people.
There are only more than 100 cannons in total, and many cannons with caliber caliber of less than 100 mm are added.
The battle was very fierce, and both sides fought around Breeda for three days. However, in the end, the British and French coalition forces were defeated, losing more than 20,000 people, and had to retreat westward. The losses of the Chinese army were less than 3,000.
Most of them are due to the lack of crew members due to the unwell climate. However, although the Chinese army won the battle, it also lost the ability to pursue. A big war consumed almost all the ammunition reserves of the Chinese army, and in
It is very difficult to replenish supplies in the desert. Although Daman's ammunition and medicine resources have accumulated as many as a mountain, it is very difficult to transport them to the front line. Even if the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia organized many transportation teams, it is difficult to meet the consumption of ammunition.
.
At the same time, the disastrous defeat of the British and French coalition forces caused a huge shock in Britain and France. The British and French governments expressed their continued increase in troops to the Arabian Peninsula, including France, which will send 50,000 more troops and Britain will also add 30,000 more troops.
Before the reinforcements arrived, all the British and French coalition forces retreated to the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula, near Egypt, and confronted the Chinese army.
For a time, the situation on the Arabian Peninsula fell into a stalemate. However, both sides continued to accumulate strength. Before this, no one was willing to break out again.
In addition, both sides also found that it seemed impossible to launch a large-scale battle on the Arabian Peninsula. Logistical pressure alone was enough to collapse the troops. It was already very difficult to be able to meet the battle of tens of thousands of people!
Although the military operations have stopped, other operations are still in full swing. On the one hand, the Chinese army has strengthened the delivery of materials to the front line, and on the other hand, it continues to arm the Saudi Kingdom. Although the combat power of the Arabs is low,
It is most suitable for them to adapt to the climate here and use them to assist the attack. To this end, China proposed to help the Saudi Kingdom arm an army of 100,000 people to use it for this war. Saudi King Abdu
Le Rahman agreed. Anyway, all the expenses are loaned to China and then deducted from the annual rent paid by China. It does not require the Saudi Kingdom to bear it. What are they not willing to do if they are defeated?
If that is the case, the Saudi family will be over. Therefore, the Saudi Kingdom is very active in expanding its military.
In addition, China's Military Intelligence Agency also began to take active action. Their figures are active around the Saudi Kingdom, the Muscat Sultanate, the Emirate of Oman, the Kingdom of Kuwait and the Persian Kingdom in the north.
China is very interested in the colonial rule of the Middle East. At the same time, this is a Middle Eastern country. After seeing the role model of the Saudi Kingdom, it is also very happy to accept China's help. For a time, the entire Middle East region was filled with smoke on the invisible battlefield.
Wang Yuze even personally instructed that it would be great if he could defeat the British outside the battlefield. The Kingdom of Kuwait, close to the Saudi Kingdom and a relationship with the Saudi family, is China's main goal!
