The fierce artillery fire was born in the quiet night, and the Chinese army's cannons were clearly heard around Medina. The commander of the British and French coalition forces General Horeshaw Herbert Kitchener was the sound of artillery.
He was awakened at the moment of the sound. He immediately jumped out of the bed, and he didn't even have time to wear clothes. He rushed out of the tent with his shirtless and big shorts.
"What's going on? Did the Chinese attack us?" General Horazio Herbert Kitchener asked anxiously.
"General, we are trying to find a way to contact the front line. However, the sound of cannons seems to be coming from the eastern part of Medina!" replied the adjutant of General Horazio Herbert Kitchener.
"To the east of Medina? Do the Chinese want to escape?" Horazio Herbert Kitchener asked in confusion. The war in Medina has been going on for more than a week, for the Chinese army.
Admiral Horazio Herbert Kitchener has a definite understanding of combat power. Although the strength of the Chinese army shocked him and even frustrated, he never gave up hope.
.When reinforcements were about to arrive, they could eat the Chinese army in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army wanted to slip away, which made him very depressed.
"General, the Chinese are attacking the 2nd Division of the Third Army. Without being able to defend, the defense line of the 2nd Division has been broken. Moreover, under the attack of the Chinese superior force, the 2nd Division of the Third Army has been broken.
It collapsed. At present, the Chinese are expanding their breakthrough." Lieutenant General Richard, the commander of the Third Army, reported that the 2nd Division had a force of more than 12,000 troops, but in the previous week of battle,
More than half of the losses have been lost, and now under the fierce attack of the Chinese army, it has suffered heavy losses.
"Damn it, these cunning Chinese! The other three divisions of the Third Army will immediately reinforce the 2nd Division. No matter what, you must block the Chinese. The four divisions of the Second Army will immediately pursue them, no matter what, no matter what, you must
, Must destroy the Chinese in Medina!" Admiral Horazio Herbert Kitchener gritted his teeth and issued an order. Although he didn't know if it would work, he still wanted to work hard.
.
"Yes, General!" The adjutant immediately turned around and gave an order.
However, everyone knows that it is very difficult to say whether the Chinese army can be blocked. There are only more than 50,000 left in the British and French coalition forces. After more than a week of high-intensity combat, the soldiers were very tired, and the Chinese army
Although the number of people cannot be accurately determined, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 people. With the troops of the Saudi Kingdom, it will be very difficult for the British and French coalition forces to annihilate the Chinese army. Many divisions of the British and French coalition forces have
They were dissatisfied, and it was night again, which made it more difficult for them to block the Chinese army.
At night, the Chinese army was given good cover for breaking through, and under their fierce attack, the British and French coalition forces could not resist. In the end, a full kilometer-long hole was torn open on the defense line of the British and French coalition forces. Although the British and French
The coalition began to dispatch troops to plug the loopholes, but in the face of fierce attacks from the 15th Division of the Chinese Army and the 8th Division of the Marine Corps, they even had problems defending their positions, let alone counterattacks.
The pursuit of the Second Army of the British and French Allied Forces was intercepted by the infantry divisions of the two Saudi kingdoms behind. Although the two infantry divisions had lost more than half and had only more than 10,000 people, they fought very tenaciously.
They all knew that if they could not stop the pursuit of the British and French coalition forces, the retreating tribesmen would not be able to leave safely. Supported by such belief, the Saudi kingdom's army repelled the British and French coalition forces' attacks again and again.
During the war, many soldiers from the Saudi Kingdom rushed towards the British and French forces in fearless manner with explosive bags or grenades, and chose to die together.
When the dawn sunlight drove away the darkness, the guns and cannons in Medina had stopped. After a night of fierce fighting, the Chinese army and the Saudi kingdom successfully defeated the British and French forces to block the British and French forces and cover the Medina.
Tens of thousands of Arab civilians retreated. Of course, during the battle that night, the Chinese army paid the price of thousands of deaths, while the Saudi kingdom's army suffered even heavier losses. The two infantry divisions finally survived.
Five thousand people, the rest, were all killed in battle. The Chinese army and the Saudi Kingdom army suffered heavy losses, and the British and French coalition forces did not get any advantage. The British and French coalition forces were killed in the fierce battle, and there were tens of thousands of people.
Thousands of people disappeared. These people fled in a hurry after the battle began, but ended up fleeing into the desert and could not find a way out. In addition to the dead and missing British and French soldiers, the wounded soldiers were also good.
Thousands of people. Such losses made General Horazio Herbert Kitchener almost vomit blood. The two armies he commanded were only more than 30,000 people left, so what did he use to chase him?
The Chinese army breaking through!
There was no way, General Horeshaw Herbert Kitchener had to order a rest in Medina and wait for reinforcements. At the same time, he kept sending telegrams to the British and French governments, asking them to send more troops.
After breaking through the Medina, the 15th Division of the Chinese Army and the 8th Division of the Marine Corps retreated all the way to Bryde in the Gasim area. However, because they brought tens of thousands of civilians, the retreat was not fast. Fortunately, the retreat was not fast.
The British and French coalition forces had long been shocked and did not pursue them. Otherwise, they would not be able to retreat safely to Breed.
After the Chinese army retreated in Medina, the Chinese army of three divisions fighting fiercely with the British and French coalition forces in the northwest of the Saudi Kingdom also retreated to the Hayle area. A Chinese army infantry division that was deployed in Mecca was even more in line with the Chinese army.
The capital of the Saudi Kingdom, Riyadh, retreated. The Chinese army's active retreat allowed the British and French coalition forces to successfully occupy the northwest of the Saudi Kingdom.
Both the British and French governments were very satisfied with this victory. They also held a special press conference and made some publicity. This has had a good effect on stabilizing the domestic situation in Britain and France.
, They seemed not far from victory. However, the subsequent battle would have caused the British and French forces to suffer. The long logistics supply line in the desert was extremely fragile and would be attacked by the Arabs from time to time.
This made the officers and soldiers of the British and French coalition forces on the front line miserable. In order to maintain the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line, Britain and France dispatched hundreds of thousands of people from the colonies to form a transportation team. The consumption along the way was very large, which undoubtedly accelerated the consumption.
The national strength of Britain and France.
On November 15, King Abdul Rahman of the Saudi Kingdom, the capital of Riyadh, Saudi Kingdom King Abdul Rahman personally rushed to the command of the Chinese army in Saudi Arabia to visit the commander Lieutenant General Zhou Shun. The Chinese army retreated from the western part of the Saudi Kingdom, and the war had already burned.
It has arrived in the central part of the Saudi Kingdom, which made Abdul Rahman very nervous. If the Chinese army retreated, the British and French coalition forces should have come to Riyadh.
"General Zhou, what's the situation on the front line now? Can we resist the attack of the British and French coalition forces?" King Abdul Rahman seemed a little worried. He, the Saudi king, had only been a Saudi king for a few months.
If the Chinese army is defeated, then he, the king, will be considered the end. Not only that, I am afraid that the Saudi family will have a catastrophe. The Hashem family will definitely not let the Saudi family go. At that time, unless the Saudi family escapes from Arabia
The peninsula will never come back, otherwise there will be only a dead end.
"Your Majesty the King, please rest assured that the front line has been stabilized in the central part of the Saudi Kingdom. Although the British and French coalition forces have a large number of troops, they have no strength to break through our defense line yet!" Lieutenant General Zhou Shun replied affirmatively.
"That's good!" This answer made King Abdul Rahman feel much more at ease.
"General Zhou, when will your country's reinforcements arrive? After all, Britain and France are still increasing their troops, and your country's army in the Saudi Kingdom is too few. Even if you add all the troops in the Saudi Kingdom,
Not half as much as the British and French coalition forces!" King Abdul Rahman said. If China dispatches an army group to the Saudi Kingdom, he will be very confident.
"For specific arrangements, the Imperial General Staff will come up with detailed plans. However, fighting in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not the better. The more troops the greater the logistics pressure. If the logistics supply cannot keep up,
On the contrary, it will affect combat effectiveness! His Majesty the King, our army will resist the attack of the Allied Forces stationed in Britain and France. However, in terms of the logistics supply line, it also needs strong support from the Saudi Kingdom!" Lieutenant General Zhou Shun said.
"General Zhou, please rest assured. The Saudi Kingdom will do its best to ensure the smooth flow of the logistics supply line of the Chinese army!" King Abdul Rahman patted his chest and promised. Now, the Saudi Kingdom and China are already people on the same boat.
If the ship capsizes, everyone will be in trouble, which makes the Saudi Kingdom work hard to ensure the victory of the war.
For the next period of time, the British and French forces continued to launch an attack. However, due to the influence of logistics supplies, their attack intensity was reduced. The battle once again entered a stalemate in the central region of the Saudi Kingdom.
On November 23, Emperor Yuze of the Empire went to the General Staff to listen to the counterattack plan that the General Staff spent a lot of time to formulate. During this period, the Imperial Army has been taking a defensive position in the Saudi Kingdom, which made the outside world believe that the Imperial Army seems to be in this battle.
The war is already at a disadvantage, and even rumors of the imperial army being defeated in the Saudi Kingdom have appeared in China. Now, the empire must launch a counterattack to smash these rumors, and at the same time, it will completely end the war! (To be continued
