Medina, the command headquarters of the Central ** team is located in a small courtyard in the center of the city. In the courtyard, there are several thick antennas, which are the antennas of the wire and telegraph machines connected to Riyadh. The small courtyard is
The bottom has been hollowed out, and an underground command center is poured with steel and cement.
At this moment, the command center was very busy, and officers wearing summer uniforms of the Chinese Army and Marine Corps only came out, and occasionally officers from the Saudi Kingdom in light-colored uniforms appeared.
"Teacher Commander, call from the headquarters!" A major officer entered the office of Major General Zhou Mingjie, the commander of the 15th Division of the Chinese Army.
"Remember!" Major General Zhou Mingjie was signing a document. He did not look up and directly ordered.
"Yes, the division commander. According to the orders of the General Staff, the 15th Division of the Imperial Army, the 8th Division of the Marine Corps, which is stationed in Medina, will break out from Medina within two days and evacuate eastward to Breedai. Also,
According to the most information, the Fourth Army of the British and French Allied Forces is advancing towards Medina and is expected to arrive at the battlefield in five days. I hope the 15th Division and the 8th Marines Division are ready!" The major officer read.
"Retreat east? Another reinforcements from the British and French coalition forces have arrived?" Major General Zhou Mingjie was shocked. Originally, he also planned to use the fortifications in Medina to gradually gradually attack the British and French coalition forces attacking Medina.
Eliminate, but unexpectedly, the headquarters would order them to retreat. In addition, the British and French coalition forces had a reinforcement coming, which was beyond his expectations. Once the reinforcements from the British and French coalition forces arrived, the Chinese team would be there again.
The troops are at an absolute disadvantage.
"Create General Li immediately!" Major General Zhou Mingjie ordered. General Li refers to Major General Li Hainan, the commander of the 8th Division of the Marine Corps. During the battle in Medina, Zhou Mingjie was mainly responsible for the full command. But many
At that time, he still needed to seek the opinions of Major General Li Hainan.
Five minutes later, a young general with a burly figure and dark skin appeared in Major General Zhou Mingjie's office.
"Lao Zhou, what happened?" Major General Li Hainan asked as soon as he entered the office.
"The headquarters has issued the most important order to us to evacuate Medina within two days!" Major General Zhou Mingjie said.
"Retreat? Why retreat? We are fighting here well and we are about to win!" Major General Li Hainan said with some reluctance. His 8th Marine Division has lost more than 3,000 yuan to now
He was still counting on taking the British and French forces attacking Medina and avenging the dead brothers!
"I don't want to retreat, but can we disobey the orders of the headquarters? In addition, the headquarters informed the news. The British and French coalition forces also have a reinforcements advancing towards Medina. It is expected to arrive in five days. We must be in
They retreated before they arrived!" Major General Zhou Mingjie sighed. The 15th Army Division had already suffered more than 5,000 casualties in a week of battle. If it were Western troops, such losses would have been long since the loss had long been.
It was determined that an army had lost its combat effectiveness. However, the army in the east was different from the West. Even if more than half of the casualties were injured, the army's fighting will was still very strong. Zhou Mingjie originally planned that since he could defend Medina, he would stick to it.
However, it is impossible to keep up with the changes in the situation! The reinforcements from the British and French coalition forces are about to arrive. If they continue to hold on, they may fall into a tough battle again.
"Since the headquarters has issued an order, we can only retreat. But what should those Arabs do? Will they be willing? This is their holy city?" Major General Li Hainan said with some concern. During the battles these days, those Arabs have been in trouble.
The fight was very tenacious, which shocked him. The Arabs attach great importance to the holy cities of Medina and Mecca. If they want them to give up, it would be very difficult!
"This is impossible. We must abide by the headquarters' orders. Besides, this is just a temporary retreat. Our logistics supply line is too long, so we suffer a loss if we fight like this. After retreating to Brayady
, We can add easy supplies. However, it will be difficult to replenish supplies from the British and French coalition forces. At that time, it will be easier to resist their attack. The retreat now is for a good counterattack in the future. I hope they can understand! If they don’t understand
If so, then we have no choice. We can't put ourselves in trouble for them!" Major General Zhou Mingjie said.
"Please invite Bahar and Khalid and discuss with them. They should not be people who don't understand!" Major General Li Hainan said. Bahar and Khalid are Saudi Kingdom stationed in Medina.
The two division commanders of their two divisions have now suffered more than half of their troops!
Very, two middle-aged Arabs entered Major General Zhou Mingjie's office.
"General Zhou, do we have any task to complete? Please give orders, we will ensure that we will complete the task so that these damn Western pagans can know how powerful we are!" Major General Bahar entered Major General Zhou Mingjie as soon as he entered Major General Zhou Mingjie
The office started to yell. Although the troops suffered heavy losses, their fighting spirit was getting higher and higher!
"Well! General Bahar, that's right. We received an order from the headquarters, asking us to break through within two days and retreat to Bright!" Major General Zhou Mingjie coughed and said.
"What? Retreat? Do you want to give up Medina?" Both Bahar and Khalid exclaimed, looking at Major General Zhou Mingjie with disbelief, as if they couldn't believe he would say that.
"Two, we also hope to continue fighting in Medina. However, the headquarters has issued an order, and we can only obey the order!" Major General Li Hainan said.
"General Zhou, General Li, we have suffered huge casualties in order to defend Medina. However, we are still willing to continue. Please help us and guard our holy city!" Khalid said with red eyes and red eyes.
.
"Sorry! We cannot disobey the order. In addition, based on the information obtained by the headquarters, reinforcements from an British and French coalition forces will arrive in Medina in five days. If we do not retreat, we will fall into a tough battle at that time!" Zhou Mingjie
The major general explained.
"Two, I hope you can understand. The retreat now does not mean failure. We give up on Medina now, but I promise you that we will be able to retake this place. We are already planning a counterattack, a lot of people
The troops are about to go to the Saudi Kingdom. The reason for retreating is to use the desert to offset the advantages of the British and French coalition forces, lengthen their fronts, and prepare for counterattacks!" Major General Li Hainan also persuaded. He knew that he would let these Arabs give up on them.
The holy city is difficult for them to accept!
Bahar and Khalid were both silent. Both of them looked a little bad. They had made such a great sacrifice, but now they were going to throw the holy city to the Westerners. No one knew how those pagans would blaspheme this place.
, This makes them very difficult to accept.
"What if we stay and resist the British and French coalition forces ourselves?" Bahar said suddenly.
Major General Zhou Mingjie was stunned and then said, "If you want to stay by yourself, then we don't object!" Although the courage of these Arabs made him admire him. But this reckless behavior was completely a seeking death. Chinese soldiers
All life is precious and will not accompany these Arabs to die.
"What if we break through the siege, what should the civilians in the city do?" Khalid asked.
"Britain and France are both civilized countries, so they should not attack civilians, right?" Major General Li Hainan said.
"Hmph! These Westerners are not good things. Don't forget that they have killed many Boer civilians in South Africa? General Zhou, General Li, I hope that if they break through, they can bring the wheat field with them.
The civilians retreated together!" Khalid said.
"This..." Major General Zhou Mingjie was a little hesitant. This was a marching and fighting. How could he retreat with civilians?
"General Zhou, we are willing to stay and cut off the rear. As the army of the Saudi Kingdom, we must protect these civilians!" Khalid said firmly.
"Okay! Let them be prepared, we will break east the night after tomorrow!" Major General Zhou Mingjie said at the end.
In the next two days, the British and French coalition forces continued to launch fierce attacks on Medina, but with more casualties and the reinforcements still arrived, the scale of the battle became smaller and smaller.
At this time, the Saudi civilians in Medina also began to change and retreat with the army. Although most of the Arabs were willing to leave the Holy City, they knew that if they stayed, the British and French forces would definitely not let them go.
In the face of life and faith, everyone still made wise choices. After all, we must first ensure that we can continue to believe in their Allah. If we die, there will be nothing left.
At 2:00 p.m. on November 14, the 15th Division of the Chinese Army launched a fierce attack on the British and French coalition forces surrounding Medina. Because of the loss of a large number of troops, the encirclement of the British and French coalition forces had become very fragile, and before that, because of China**
The team has never broken through, so the British and French coalition forces relaxed their vigilance in this regard.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Dada!" The cannons roared and the machine guns roared. The dense cannons fell on the positions of the British and French Allied Forces, turning the people who had already entered the sleepy British and French Allied Forces on their backs. The British and French Allied Forces in panic had no time to make a move.
Reaction, the Chinese team had already rushed to their position. This time, the 15th Army Division gathered all its troops to launch a fierce attack, and the British and French coalition forces could not resist it. In less than half an hour
Then the 15th Army Division and the 8th Marine Division began to expand the gap to both sides. At the same time, the civilians in Medina began to retreat from the opened encirclement, while the Saudi kingdom's army,
