Chapter 403 Pointing to the Sinai Canal
Now the Yaman Empire is under the joint suppression of the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire on the battlefield on the Western Continent. Although the soldiers of the Yaman Empire are more elite, after all, their population base is small and it is not enough to support such a long battle.
After a few years of war, the Yaman Empire had reached its limit.
As for the Kingdom of Habuffsburg and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, it is better to say that they are the tycoons of the Yaman Empire than to be a participant in the war. Their army has low combat effectiveness and weaker naval strength. Although they have had a period of time in the Mediterranean.
The sea control power was lost because the Saar Empire fleet entered the Mediterranean. Now their fleet can only shrink into the port and become an existence fleet.
As for the Istanese Empire, it was just a so-called man. Even the Chinese Empire attracted most of the power of the Cossack Empire. The Istanese Empire's supportive attack was defeated by one of the few Cossack defenders, which really made Fang Xiaoyu laugh and cry.
Now the Boston Empire continued to wait and see, restraining the Eastern Ocean Fleet and most of the Marines of the Chinese Empire. The Cossacks also restrained most of the army of the Chinese Empire. Although the Chinese army expelled all the troops in the battle between the Eastern and Southern Central Continents and the Southern Central Continents.
The Allied Army still did not withdraw much troops, but Fang Xiaoyu now had to open up a new battlefield to attract the Allied Army and relieve pressure on the Yaman Empire, otherwise the Yaman Empire would be in danger of falling.
Searching back and forth on the map, Fang Xiaoyu asked in a silence: "Old Feng, where do you think you can attract the firepower of the Allied Powers and maximize the use of our remaining troops now."
Feng Shichang replied without hesitation: "Of course it is the Sinai Canal."
"Sinai Canal?" Fang Xiaoyu found it at the intersection of the Central Continent and the Southern Subcontinent on the map: "Why is it here?"
Feng Shichang said: "The most important trade zone in the Western Continent is the Mediterranean, which is the most developed place in the Western Continent with commercial development. In the Western Continent, it can be said that whoever controls the Mediterranean will control the economic lifelines of various countries."
Feng Shichang paused and pointed to the Sinai Canal: "If you want to control the Mediterranean, you must control the exits on both sides of it, namely the Strait of Gibraltar and the Sinai Canal. The importance of the Sinai Canal can be seen from this. In addition, it is the fastest indirect Mediterranean and the Southern Ocean.
The passage of the Sar Empire was the biggest support for regaining the Central and Eastern continent colonies. So as long as we control the Sinai Canal, we can panic the Allies, let alone control our Southern Ocean fleet here, we can enter the Mediterranean Sea and threaten the Allies with naval force.
, We can also use the Sinai Canal area as a base to attack the Allied colonies of the Southern Subcontinent, which can be said to be a killer of allies."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Okay, this can indeed attract their attention and gain a lot of benefits. I said Lao Feng, you are not at a loss at all."
Feng Shichang blinked and said, "Isn't it learned from the young master?"
Liu Junguo, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Young Master, we are short of troops now, why not rely on the army of the allied countries?"
"Alliance?" Fang Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Are you talking about the armies of several other countries of the ASEAN alliance?" Fang Xiaoyu always thought that the combat effectiveness of these allied armies was too poor, so he subconsciously ignored these people and borrowed Siam last time.
The country's troops attacked Tamsui Port only as cannon fodder. In fact, Fang Xiaoyu was not optimistic about them.
Liu Junguodao: "Young master, I know that these armies are not strong in combat, but they are always better than not. Besides, this is a good opportunity for us to weaken the allies. Only when their military strength is weaker will it be easier to control."
Feng Shichang also said: "Yes, we have ignored it, especially the St. Martin Empire, with more than one million troops. Even if the combat effectiveness is a little worse, it is not a problem to be a garrison. Their weapons are not much worse than those of the countries in the Western Continent.
.”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "I was negligent about this. I originally thought that their combat effectiveness was poor, so I could just guard their territory. Now it seems that it is more valuable to let their soldiers die on behalf of our soldiers."
Fang Xiaoyu's words, Feng Shichang and the others smiled tacitly on their faces.
Su Zhizhen was quickly drawn from the battlefield of the Central Continent, where he was sure to win, and he was reappointed as the commander of the offensive front against the Southern Subcontinent. After receiving this appointment, Su Zhizhen immediately flew to the Batan area and took office with him.
It was the National Welfare of several armies, which had just been withdrawn from the northern battlefield.
When he arrived at the place, Su Zhizhen immediately began to study his own strength. When he got his own strength information, he was a headache. He didn't have much force. Except for the First Marine Army, only the 12th National Defense Army, which had just been transferred back to the south.
The 13th Army, the 15th Army and the three reserve troops were only 400,000.
The Sar Empire has always attached great importance to the Sinai Canal. Now there are 300,000 ground troops stationed there. In addition, there are nearly 300,000 troops in the Nile colony to the south. The Mediterranean Combined Fleet of the Allies came from the sea, and its troops were completely overwhelmed.
Above the Chinese Army.
After careful consideration, Su Zhizhen asked Fang Xiaoyu to give him part of the air force. Fang Xiaoyu immediately agreed, four fighter wings and five bomber wings were drawn from the northern battlefield and equipped them with the Sinai Canal battlefield. At the same time, Fang Xiaoyu specially established the Southern Subcontinental War Zone, from
Su Zhizhen was the commander, and in addition to commanding the army and the air force, he could also control the Southern Ocean Fleet. With such personnel, Su Zhizhen felt confident. What surprised Su Zhizhen was that Fang Xiaoyu sent reinforcements to him again.
Under the edict of Fang Xiaoyu to draw the Allies to participate in the war, those younger allies did not dare to neglect. The Emirate sent a hundred thousand troops, and the St. Martin Empire had 500,000 troops to participate in the war. Even the Oahu Kingdom, which had a small number of nationals, also sent it to the Kingdom of Oahu, which had a small number of citizens.
Ten thousand reinforcements.
Fang Xiaoyu did not transfer all these troops to Su Zhizhen's army. He sent reinforcements from the Emirate and Oahu Kingdom to the Chassis Kingdom to strengthen the defense there. The troops of the St. Martin Empire went to the Sinai Canal area to participate in the upcoming
The coming war.
In addition, Su Zhizhen was surprised to find a short army, who were from the Japanese people. Since the destruction of Japan, the remaining seven or eight million Japanese people have been sent to Sakhalin Island to live, where the weather is bitter and cold.
The hard conditions have caused these Japanese people to suffer all their hardships.
This time, Fang Xiaoyu issued an order to let them draw young and middle-aged people into a minion army to join the war and promised to improve their living conditions. In order for their relatives to live better, 200,000 young Japanese people formed a minion army and were transferred to the battlefield.
superior.
Looking at these short soldiers, Su Zhizhen smiled bitterly. Facing the side who came to hand over to him, the new Minister of the Organization Department of the Servant Army Wang Xiucheng smiled bitterly: "Brother, who are you bringing, what are the Japanese people?"
I fought with us a few years ago. Will I help us now? You are afraid that they would make trouble for me.”
Wang Xiucheng, the former deputy commander of the National Defense Force, grinned and said, "How is that possible? I have specially transferred this group of elite soldiers to you. These Japanese soldiers are veterans with practical experience and should be very useful on the battlefield.
Their relatives are all in our control. Are you afraid that they will fail? Just put them in the most dangerous place. I promise nothing will happen." Since Wang Xiucheng said that, Su Zhizhen had to accept it.
It's right.
On November 10, 906, although the Cossack battlefield was already in heavy snow, the Sinai Canal area near the equator was still as hot as summer. On the banks of the Sinai Canal, Sars soldiers were monitoring the natives to dig trenches.
The Sars had already found something wrong, so the garrison troops began to work hard to dig trenches. However, it was close to the ocean and the terrain was low-lying. The work of digging trenches was very slow. If the ground was dug more than one meter deep, water would come out. The native laborers
We had to dig and drain water while digging, and the project progressed very slowly.
"Jason, how is the progress?" A Saar officer with the rank of colonel walked over from a distance.
The captain named Jason said, "Captain Victor, you are here just right, take a look at these projects. It's really terrible to dig trenches here. The groundwater level here is too high to dig deep.
It can be used to unearth dams with mud, and barely make bunkers, but such trenches have much less anti-aircraft bombardment capabilities."
After saying that, Captain Jason lit a cigarette and said, "Captain, do you think the Chinese army will really come over?"
Colonel Victor said anxiously with his face: "I think so, although I don't know when it will come, it should be soon."
Colonel Victor turned his head and found Captain Jason looking straight into the distance. He smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"
Captain Jason's face changed color and he stammered: "Here, they are here, it's the Chinese Army's plane."
Colonel Victor turned around and was shocked, and immediately shouted, "Everyone is quick to go into the trenches to avoid them, the enemy plane is here." After that, he pulled Captain Jason and jumped into the trenches together, without caring about the bottom of the trenches.
The unspent mud fell down.
Colonel Victor's agility saved him. He had just lie into the trench. A bomb was dropped from the place where he had just stood. The bomb exploded a huge crater on the ground, and the flying soil brought the trench into the trench.
Colonel Cedot was buried. He quickly climbed out of the soil, not caring about the mud on his face, and shouted loudly: "All troops should be in their place, and the enemy's infantry will come up soon."
After the bombing of the plane, a faint black line appeared on the horizon, and the black line gradually became clear. At the front was a large number of Japanese servants holding Type 91 rifles, energetic Japanese servants, and Marine Weasel Type 1 tanks discharged from the attack.
The formation followed closely, followed by trucks full of soldiers. At the end were strong soldiers in the St. Martin Empire who were holding Type 91 rifles and dark-skinned.
