This time the attack of the special forces was not a small blow to the Entente army, but it was not yet to the extent that it could not be withstandable, according to the plan of the Entente, the attack on Baghdad was scheduled, and Mark's military camp was attacked unimaginably, The loss of 12,000 people, almost one-fifth of the strength, after the sea of corpses and blood in Europe, the number of losses per day may exceed the war here, because of this, it is really a joke, even if Mark retreats, other French and American generals will take over the baton.

The entire Entente army has a total strength of 500,000, and under the huge force, 12,000 is only 2.4% of the force, which took three days, and after cleaning up, it lost 12,000 allied troops, divided into three large clusters, and still maintained a road, but it was not divided into three parts, and the distance between them was 50 kilometers, that is, the distance of 2 days at full speed.

This kind of distribution allows teams to echo back and forth, and once there is something, they can be contacted at any time. It seems that Mark's approach is quite conservative, but it is so conservative that it has an effect on the army, but it is really useless for the pervasive, with Dongfeng Warriors and recoilless gun special forces, and the distance of 50 kilometers is only about an hour's drive for Dongfeng Warriors.

Zhou Zhengpeng has been looking for an opportunity to make a move, although before Mark left, the special forces had 2 more chances to shoot, and he was also going to make a move, but the news from the staff made him not make a move in the end, not because he saw the problem. Rather, it was an order from the Chinese Army Staff.

From the moment the decision was made, the Army Staff began to aim for this battle. The war chess exercise not only added all the information investigated by the special forces and the reconnaissance airship. Through the Chinese Intelligence Bureau, and even the German side, the investigation of all the officers involved in the war finally came to an interesting result, the experience of the British commander-in-chief Mark shows that he is a conservative, that is, he will choose to protect himself first in the face of danger and accidents. And then the task is carried out.

This is a very good characteristic, as the commander of the entire army, Mark has a lot of influence on the troops, no longer strike at him, weaken his strength, and instead block the entire army, this is what the special forces should do, and the main war in the future should be opened by the Lanfang Army. And not special forces.

Even if Zhou Zhengpeng had some regrets, he still carried out the order, and then, he did not follow the orders of the staff in all directions. The general is outside, and the military order is not subject to it, and he will act immediately as long as he has the opportunity. Three days after the coalition forces were dispatched, another wave of attacks hit the central part of the coalition forces.

The central part was dominated by French and partly British troops. The commander was also a high-ranking French general, David, and also a commander who came down from Bordeaux. Although Bordeaux is a flesh mill, but those who can come down from the middle are strong, but unfortunately he also lacks preparedness for special attacks, and in the middle of the night the same attack as the last time Mark's troops attacked, and it appeared again, the same night, but this time, the coalition army camp is not dense, no matter how to say that there is a previous lesson, in progress, to guard against sneak attacks, David did a good job of defense, and the final loss was only 4,000 people, but such an attack dragged the pace of the coalition army.

The close connection between each other, so that the fast horse can report the message, Zhou Zhengpeng's purpose is to weaken the other party, reduce the speed of the other party's march, not to annihilate him, 1440 people annihilated 500,000, even if it is a huge sacrifice is impossible, the terrain of the desert is still a little monotonous, the real special operation is not easy to carry out, there is no cover, there is no concealment, but with the help of artillery, one shot in the east and one shot in the west, it is more suitable.

The speed itself is slow enough, and it will fall down again, walking for a maximum of 4 hours a day, and then it is encampment, no one dares to guarantee whether it can withstand the attack, and can only arrange the camp as much as possible, and according to the previous experience, choose a more decentralized arrangement method, with a division as a unit, the density of each area is not large, compared with before, at least 3 times more sparse.

Such an arrangement has an effect, even if Zhou Zhengpeng carries out another night attack and artillery bombardment, it can cause more than 1,000 casualties at most, for an army of 500,000, this is almost injure, and no one wants to do useless work, plus Zhou Zhengpeng can be regarded as having achieved the strategic goal, the speed of the other party has been reduced to the minimum, leaving a team of 100 people, 30 vehicles and 12 recoilless guns, continue to harass and total coalition forces, Zhou Zhengpeng took the remaining special forces to Baghdad, The battlefield that will really allow the special forces to roam freely is Baghdad.

In just 20 days, the coalition army covered less than half of the distance, but lost 30,000 troops.

500,000 coalition troops, 30,000 people, is almost one-sixteenth, such a degree of loss, even if it is as strong as the Entente can not accept, if they are all dead, it is easy to do, recoilless guns in the later stage, the use of infantry anti-personnel shells, for unprotected tents, the lethality is huge, in the later stage, some soldiers even named the tent called the death tent, some people, even looking for a place to dig a pit in the ground, put a sleeping bag, are unwilling to enter the tent, soft sand, dug potholes, As long as it is not directly hit by a shell, the protection should be a little better than in the tent.

The Allied army, successfully dragged by the special forces, not only bought time for the 3B railway, although the truncation of the 3B railway is established, it will be successful, but when the railway command system plays a role, when the northwest is guaranteed as much as possible with shipping and materials, the daily capacity is amazing, one day can transport the materials that ensure the operation of Germany for 3 days, every 10 more days, you can support an extra month, if you really win 30 days, or even 40 days, Not only can Germany be given an additional quarter's supplies, but Germany's own reserves of materials can also be held out for a month, in that case, the railway on the northern line can also be connected, and the strategic goals of the Entente cannot be achieved.

When the time comes, it is not an urgent mobilization of thousands of special forces to come, the entire Lanfang, hundreds of thousands of troops are ready to go, not to mention these hundreds of thousands of Entente troops, even if they are several times more, they can be dealt with, Lanfang's army is not weak at all compared to the Chinese army.

Prior to this, it was the Turkish army that supported the entire Middle East, and it was Lan Fang's unilateral action against the Entente's sneak attack, and after delaying the other party's star monarch, they also notified the Turkish side, hoping to get Turkey's cooperation and strive to inflict heavy damage on the Entente army in a larger scope.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny, and in this era, the Turkish side is really weak here. Not to mention the First World War in history, Turkey did not perform much in the First World War at all, almost like a vassal to participate in the First World War, and then after being taught a solid lesson, it was finally hit and collapsed, so now, even with the support of the Northwest, it is not much better, finally, in the Balkan War, resisted the Balkan Alliance, but it still did not have much effect, they held Chengdu a little precarious, not to mention the attack, the Middle East, which is part of the Ottoman Empire, But it was already beyond the reach of the whip commander, and the troops they left behind were not considered elite in Turkey, let alone compared with the great powers.

What's more, these Turkish commanders are arrogant, they have been reminded by Lan Fang, especially the war situation reported by Lan Fang, the loss of the Allied army, let them have a contemptuous attitude towards the Allied army, after all, in their opinion, the former Ottoman Empire, no matter how much stronger than Lan Fang, a country that has just been established and does not have the slightest influence in the world, they have more than 1,000 people, and they have caused losses of tens of thousands of people, and they can have hundreds of thousands, and they have rushed up, maybe, the glory of killing the Entente belongs to them?

If Zhou Zhengpeng knew that the Turkish side thought so, he would definitely die of depression, but in this era, even the contact between the countries of the alliance is not smooth, and the alliance has not yet formed a complete contact system.

Turkey's contempt suffered a big loss in the future, they took advantage of the time gained by the special forces, integrated almost 120,000 troops, and launched a round in the face of the vanguard of the Entente, but unfortunately, they were not facing the British and French troops, but the American army, or the most elite 3 divisions of the American army.

Completely copied the German firepower arrangement, taking into account the elite main force and some elite gunners who retreated from Bordeaux, and reached the limit of firepower and combat effectiveness, with only 3 divisions and less than 70,000 people, although there were almost 100,000 other troops behind, but the US commander did not wait for reinforcements to come up at all, and launched a countercharge in the face of the attack of 120,000.

In fact, the Americans underestimated the power of this new army, and the Turks overestimated themselves, and the combination of the two resulted in a very astonishing result, in just one hour, 120,000 Turkish coalition troops collapsed, 50,000 were annihilated, 60,000 were captured, and the rest were lucky to escape, but no more than 5,000 people could really return.

The Turks are like a joke, integrating an army of more than 100,000 people, but in a short period of time it has become history, the entire Middle East region is in a completely defenseless state, in addition to Baghdad and 10,000 people, other cities, at most, are a few thousand people, stealing chickens and rice, that's what it says, and even disrupted the next Zhou Zhengpeng's arrangement, after dragging the other party, the special forces who should have retreated had to be thrown into a more tragic urban offensive and defensive battle.
