Chapter 622 : Advance or retreat?
"Okay! It seems we can only use other methods!"
Mongomarie shrugged, looking helpless. If it were him, he would have done this long ago. Wouldn't it be that some indigenous cannon fodder sacrificed!
What are you afraid of? The local indigenous people have never had any status in their country, and they don’t care about these things in their country, as long as they can win the war.
"We are not a question of whether we use other methods! Our attack today is a tentative offensive. The main purpose is to survey the actual combat effectiveness of the Han army. In the past, we only knew that the Han army had strong combat effectiveness, but we didn't know where their combat effectiveness was!"
Bradley paused when he said here, and then continued: "After today's test, we can only roughly estimate a result! But now a question is in front of us. Should we attack or retreat!
If it is an attack, can we defeat the two million Han troops in front of us? If we retreat, then our purpose of opening up the second battlefield will be declared bankrupt!"
When Bradley's question was revealed, Mongomarie's brows frowned.
The firepower of the Han army was unexpectedly strong, but they did not have an advantage in the air force.
"I think there should be water here! Since the Han army has such a strong combat power, and they have two million troops, and the number is far more than us, why don't they attack? Instead, they are defending?"
Mongomarie asked suddenly after thinking for a while.
"I don't know either. Maybe only the commander of the Han army knows this problem!"
Well! When Bradley and the others were wondering why Hao Mengling didn't attack and had only two million troops to defend, Hao Mengling was planning the offensive matter at this time.
"Today, the Citi Army dispatched 30,000 troops to attack our Ismailia defense line. However, our army has strong firepower and advanced weapons and equipment, so they just rushed to about 350 meters in front of our position and had to retreat. Now they did not launch another attack for an afternoon!"
A staff officer stood behind Hao Mengling and looked at a document in his hand and recited.
"Three hundred and fifty meters? How many artillery pieces did the Citi Army concentrate today? Are there any detailed data? How many aircraft did they dispatch?"
Hao Mengling frowned.
"We don't know the specific number, but according to the telegrams sent by the frontline troops, they concentrated at least two thousand artillery types! Their air force dispatched about three hundred aircraft!"
"Two thousand doors? Three hundred?"
"No! This is a tentative attack from the Citi Army!"
Hao Mengling immediately reacted. According to the information sent to him by the military headquarters, the Eagle-McGeorge Alliance's 1.6 million troops in North Africa this time had more than 13,000 guns of various types, including mortars and other artillery pieces.
However, in addition to the mortars and other artillery artillery, the Citi Army also has at least 5,000 other artillery pieces.
But this time they only concentrated more than two thousand artillery pieces. Even if there is a gap, it is impossible to have a few thousand of them!
The front-line troops are not fools!
And their planes were only dispatched 300!
You should know that there were 2,000 aircraft sent by the Citi Army to North Africa, and there were also aircraft on their aircraft carriers and aircraft on the Bald Eagle Navy aircraft carriers.
There were about 3500 fighter jets in total, but only 300 were dispatched, which was obviously a test.
"Haha! Interesting! It seems that Bradley is quite cautious and even needs to attack tentatively!"
Hao Mengling raised a curve on the corner of her mouth. Although such enemies are more difficult to deal with and even harder to fight, this is more interesting, isn’t it?
"Adminton, when will the armored troops coming from Central Asia arrive?"
Hao Mengling asked without even turning his head.
Armored troops!
Not bad! After Yang Qing and Wang Cheng took over Central Asia, there were more than 4,000 armored troops from the Han Empire in Central Asia.
Han Ling asked Hao Mengling to end the Middle East battle as soon as possible, so he naturally had to equip him with enough strength.
Among them, the assault of armored forces was very necessary, so Han Ling dispatched more than 2,000 tanks from Central Asia to the Middle East.
"According to their telegram, we will not be able to reach us on the sixteenth!"
The adjutant glanced at the telegram in his hand and said.
"No. 16? It's only No. 13! It's really a long wait! Have all the trucks from China arrived?"
Hao Mengling asked another question again.
"Not yet, it is said that the transport ship is in transport! It will not be possible to arrive all of them until the 20th!"
Trucks transported from the empire were used to transport logistics supplies for Hao Mengling for a short distance. In fact, to be most accurate, this was used to transport logistics supplies for the armored troops.
The airships, such logistics supplies transported from the empire, will be fixedly unloaded in a certain place, and then quickly return to carry the supplies again.
"No. 20! No. 16! It's almost the same for a few days to let the armored troops rest. By the way, has the local empire transported all the equipment for combat in the desert?"
"Everything is coming! Ensure that the soldiers of the armored troops can quickly use these desert equipment when they arrive!"
Desert combat is different from other combat.
First of all, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extremely large. You can heat up to a dog at noon and freeze you into a dog at night.
In the desert, the combat uniforms of the troops will change.
Before, whether it was fighting in China or Siberia, if it was summer, just wear summer combat uniforms.
If it's winter, winter combat uniforms are fine.
But it is not possible in the desert. Desert combat uniforms are characteristic combat uniforms.
In the past, the Han Empire had designed combat uniforms for many troops to fight in the desert before entering the desert.
The first is to use both winter and summer as combat uniforms.
This kind of combat uniform is a kind of changeable combat uniform that can be transformed into short-sleeved or long-sleeved.
During the day, you can turn into short sleeves, except that there will be a layer of tulle in these positions on your arms, which is to prevent the skin from getting sunburned.
At night, it can be turned into long-sleeved.
It is worth mentioning that pants, whether it is day or night, are trousers. And military boots are specially designed desert boots.
Because in the desert, not only the scorching sun will burn your skin, but at noon, the sand may also burn you.
So military boots are all specially made military boots.
