Chapter 1019: Bypass the River
Hate is not so easy to eliminate, good novels:.!
The Soviet Union and Russia have long had accumulated grievances with Turkey, and after two years of vicious fighting near the Caucasus, the contradictions have become difficult to reconcile. Although he was forcibly pressed down by Britain and the United States, Bi Jing just boycotted the war, and it was impossible to cooperate. In particular, the Turkish and Soviet Russian troops guarding the vicinity of the Caucasus may have fallen under each other's guns.
Turkey suffered a lot of losses in the past two years, and the land entered by Soviet Russia ceded part of it. Britain and the United States had already made up their minds about planting landmines, and those contradictions could not be completely resolved at all.
The armies of the two countries get together, can they not make trouble, they are already considered restrained, and they still expect to cooperate? Even Turkey used various excuses not to allow Soviet Russia to penetrate deep into the territory.
The entry of Soviet Russia is not easy to provoke. Now that Britain and the United States have relented and Turkey has suffered a new defeat, how can Soviet Russia, which had suffered losses in the territory, let go of this opportunity.
As a result, the armies of the two countries were wary of each other, and there was no accurate time to attack the Chinese army.
Of course, they also have other ideas in mind. It is the most appropriate way to take the north route on the defensive and sit back and watch the United States enter to deal with the Chinese army on the south road, and after attracting the main force of the Chinese army, and then pick up the bargain behind the back.
Allies are sometimes stabbed in the back. The strength of Soviet Russia and Turkey has been greatly damaged, and it is even a share if they can retain one strength.
"It's still early for war!" Both the Soviet Union and Turkey had such thoughts.
After the alliance between China and Germany, almost all of them felt that there was no hope for peace. Whoever can survive the long war and hold out to the end will be able to stand in the ranks of the victors. Even if Soviet Russia enters, it will cherish the cannon fodder that is becoming more and more scarce. Not to mention Turkey, which is sandwiched between several large countries.
But none of them expected that the battle of the southern Turkish road would end sooner than they thought.
The British would not expect only the United States to enter, and Alexander began to draw British troops south of Mosul to temporarily fill the city's weak defenses.
However, he still underestimated the speed of the advance of the Chinese armored forces, and could not detect that more than 10,000 Chinese troops had already attacked the vicinity of Mosul. However, these were basically the fastest tank and armored units, not good at street fighting, and they did not plan to attack the city, so they aimed at the British reinforcements that arrived.
Encirclement and reinforcements.
The 20,000 British Commonwealth troops who came in three ways were annihilated by the tank forces of China in the next two years, and more than 10,000 were captured.
At the same time, the cities south of Mosul, whose defenses had also become weak, quickly welcomed a new conqueror, Aladdin's army.
In the second year, the British troops in various parts of Iraq were in a hurry, until the third day, and Mosul began to be in a hurry.
The 20,000 Chinese troops who arrived later started street fighting while shelling Mosul.
The buildings of Mosul could not withstand the fierce bombardment of the Chinese army, and the British were not as strong as they imagined.
When a vanguard cannon fired down 11 heavy shells that shook the city, Auchinleck ordered the white flag to be erected and surrendered to Huaxia.
It was impossible for Britain to get in two generals at once. Mountbatten was summoned to the British Middle East Command Headquarters on the Suez River, and Auchinleck volunteered to stay and hold on to the city of Mosul, but he was frustrated by the swift defeat of the British army. However, looking at the huge cannon shells not far away that directly smashed into the huge crater with oil splashes, as well as the more than 5,000 casualties and many fallen streets that were counted in less than a moment, Auchinleck could only take the initiative to admit defeat with more than 7,000 remnants.
For 21 hours, Auchinleck was very annoyed that he didn't last a whole day. The U.S. invaded three times in a row, with more than 6,000 casualties and more than 3,000 captured or missing recruits, and no progress was made in 1 ri.
A Euphrates River gives the defending side a lot of advantage. The Chinese army was very well defended, and even if there was a breakthrough, it was quickly killed by the Huaxia tank troops, and was driven across the river again. Even the Huaxia Membership deliberately opened a gap to let some US troops cross the river and then make dumplings.
In the end, even if it saw an opportunity, the United States did not dare to test it easily, but let Turkey enter the front.
Even if the Turks, who were greatly inferior in equipment, rushed in, they would soon be overwhelmed by the dense firepower of the Chinese army.
The whole front is at a stalemate.
They also received a request for help from the British, and even sent more than 20,000 troops into Syria to support Mosul with 30,000 French troops.
It's just that they ignore one point, since they can bypass the Euphrates River through Syria, why can't Huaxia bypass?
Aladdin suddenly fell to China, and the biggest threat was not the capture of northern Iraq, but the sudden emergence of a Chinese army of more than 80,000 troops from western Iraq and easily invaded Syria.
The indigenous forces of Syria were helpless, and the French were equally defenseless. When the United States discovered that it was not good, this Chinese army had already traveled hundreds of miles, captured the important town of Homs with the assistance of airborne troops, and then abandoned Damascus, the capital of Syria, and went directly north to take the port of Latakia, the city where the US military was hoarding supplies in Syria.
In order to attack the Chinese army on the Euphrates, the United States entered the same large army and pressed it, and the number of troops left in the rear was not much.
The Allied forces on the island of Cyprus were the first to react and hurriedly dispatched. However, the dispatched fleet was attacked at sea by the combined submarine forces of China and Germany. The Allies, having lost 1 light aircraft carrier and 2 cruisers, as well as 3 troop carriers, had to withdraw under the threat of a group of warplanes accompanying the operation.
As long as the base in Libya in North Africa is there, it is very easy for the Chinese army to conjure up more than a dozen submarines in the Mediterranean, and if it is not impossible to give a reasonable explanation, Meng Xiang can even blow up aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea and completely clear out the British and American fleets. With submarines that could be used as an excuse to enter and exit secretly, and with the presence of enough German submarine forces to strengthen their air power and the losses were not very large, there would be a den of sea wolves in the Mediterranean.
The situation in Syria was critical, and what was supposed to make the flank of China a crisis has now become a crisis on the flank of the Allied forces in Turkey.
Once the passage between Cyprus and Syria was cut off, the United States was cut off from retreat and supply lines to fight in Turkey. Unless Turkey has more access to transshipment through seaports in Turkey.
"Since another Chinese army has emerged, there will definitely not be many troops on the North Road or the logistics supply line of the Chinese army." Lieutenant General Defuss, Supreme Deputy Commander of the Allied Forces in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, said categorically.
His Sixth Army Group saw that it was about to be copied by this Chinese army that suddenly appeared, and he was so anxious that blood bubbled on his lips, and he couldn't even suppress the rainy climate of the Mediterranean winter.
While dispatching troops to the port of Latakia, he informed Turkey and Soviet Russia to speed up the offensive on the northern route and the long logistical supply line in China.
Since the United States encountered such stubborn resistance on the opposite side, and the British were defeated early, and even a surprise army behind the surprise attack appeared, then according to the calculation of the total number of troops that China could mobilize, either the northern road was empty, or the troops used by China for the logistics line and Jing'an were transferred to the front line.
Under the constant urging and suppression of Britain and the United States, the Soviet Russian and Turkish armies put away the contradictory conflict and started to attack the North China Route Army, which was already fully prepared.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, a new battle report came from the south, the United States and Turkey were defeated, and the Chinese invaded the Euphrates.
With the US military urgently dispatching 30,000 mechanized troops to quickly support the rear, there were some loopholes in the US army's defense on the front line. At this time, in addition to the 50,000 troops of the Chinese army to continue to defend, the remaining 30,000 troops plus the 40,000 reinforcements from these young ones were divided into two routes, like two sharp arrows piercing the defense lines of the United States and Turkey respectively.
The United States, which had been pressing and fighting, did not expect that the Chinese army would launch a large-scale counterattack. The admonition of the American troops stationed in Asia, who realized the strength of the Chinese army, was not enough to make these European legions feel sorry for themselves, and even most of the American Asian troops were not convinced.
Turkey has done a lot of defense, but they have suffered a lot of damage in Iran, losing a lot of heavy weapons, tanks and warplanes, and losing their most valuable talents. Even if the United States sent a lot of surplus materials and weapons, it could not be equipped proficiently in a short period of time.
A force of more than 70 Grizzly tanks dropped in the back of the base alone was able to relax on the long defensive line north of Gaziantep, which was defended by Turkey, and even more so when the massive tank force crossed the Euphrates River in the rushing position of amphibious tanks.
Although the Turkish invasion was brave, in the face of the continuous abuse of the modern troops of the air and land, under the shadow of the previous defeat, the army's morale was scattered, and some positions collapsed first.
Immediately there was an empty space on the northern flank of the American army.
The American GIs immediately put their lives ahead of the military order to die, not to mention anything to protect Turkish territory. And so it was like toppling the dominoes, and a series of routs began.
