970 Bear Artillery Chariot
The guns of the Nine Dragons are extremely lethal when strafing the crowd, and those who flee in a hurry are hardly spared.
The battle lasted for an hour, the entire Treasure Palace was razed to the ground by the Nine Wyvern fighters, and those who fled in a hurry were also killed by the Nine Wyvern fighters.
The Wyvern fighter was in the air, and he couldn't see the situation on the ground, so it was impossible to determine whether Sheikh Ahmed had been blown up, and it was up to Prince Ibrahim's subordinates to determine whether the matter was to be determined.
After the bombing, Prince Ibrahim's men immediately investigated whether Sheikh Ahmed had been killed, and to everyone's surprise, Sheikh Ahmed had not been killed at all.
It turned out that when the Nine Flying Dragon fighters came to attack, Sheikh Ahmed got into the basement of the Treasure Palace, which originally had no basement, and later the British told Sheikh Ahmed: "The planes of the Chinese Empire are very powerful, you can't guard against it." ”
Sheikh Ahmed was initially unimpressed, but the British then gave the example of the Japanese, British, and German fleets being wiped out by Chinese Imperial aircraft, and Sheikh Ahmet woke up from a dream and mobilized his men to build a basement in the Treasure Palace.
In the process of building the basement, the British sent a lot of technicians to guide the construction, and the basement was quickly completed, and all this, the outside people did not know at all.
Chief Ahmed burrowed out of the basement after the Wyvern plane had withdrawn, returned to the barracks, and immediately announced revenge against the Chinese Empire and Prince Ibrahim.
Sheikh Ahmad captured more than 1,000 Chinese in Kuwait City, burned them at the stake in the downtown square, and confiscated all Chinese property.
Sheikh Ahmad's move aroused opposition from the British, who advised him that by doing so, he was completely angering the Chinese Empire, and that if the war situation was unfavorable in the future, there would be no room for negotiation.
Sheikh Ahmad ignored the advice of the British, and Ahmet told the British, angrily: "The Chinese Empire has bombed my palace and wants to kill me, so why should I leave room for negotiation." ”
Chief Ahmet did not heed the advice of the British and burned more than 1,000 Chinese at the stake, and before the execution, Sheikh Ahmet issued another order to humiliate the Chinese Empire, and sentenced more than 300 young women out of more than 1,000 Chinese to gang rape and death.
Chief Ahmed's actions completely angered Lin Fei, who ordered Liu Daming to annihilate Chief Ahmet and his troops at all costs.
The Chinese Empire's forces immediately marched on Kuwait City, and Sheikh Ahmed, fearing that it would not be easy to defeat Prince Ibrahim's territory, withdrew his own territory, and in this way, Prince Ibrahim regained the lost territory.
After regaining lost territory, Prince Ibrahim assisted the Chinese Empire's forces in advancing into the territory of Sheikh Ahmad in Iraq, and ten days later, the two armies faced off near Basra.
Prince Ibrahim invested 50,000 troops, the Chinese Empire invested 10,000 troops, and Sheikh Ahmet invested 100,000 troops, including 10,000 German troops, 10,000 French troops, and 20,000 Russian troops.
Among the many troops of Chief Ahmad, the most powerful were the German troops, especially the 100 German artillery chariots, called "Wild Bear", which weighed 25 tons in battle and was armed with a 75 mm caliber and 45 times the caliber smoothbore gun.
The Wild Bear artillery chariot completely exploded the invasion fire of the Chinese Empire in terms of combat effectiveness, and the total combat weight of the invasion fire was only 15 tons, the caliber of the main gun was only 50 millimeters, and the length of the barrel was only 30 times the caliber.
In order to fight for control of the Middle East, Germany spent a lot of money and sent the latest Bear artillery chariots into the battlefield, while the Chinese Empire did not send artillery chariots at all.
Although Sheikh Ahmed's troops were large in numbers and had powerful Bear artillery chariots, there was a fatal problem, that is, the command was not uniform, and although Sheikh Ahmet was the nominal commander-in-chief of this force, the German, French, and Russian armies did not obey his orders at all.
The Sheikh Ahmed forces also face one of the most formidable enemies of all, the Sky Eagle.
The Sky Eagle fighter is a light wooden bomber, the take-off conditions are extremely low, as long as there is a flat ground, there is not too much dust on the runway (too much dust will affect the engine work), this runway does not need to be too long, as long as about eighty meters, it is enough for the Sky Eagle fighter to fly, so the Chinese Empire built a field airfield close to the battlefield.
On December 20, the first shots of the battle were fired by the Chinese Empire, and in the early morning of that day, thirty Sky Eagle fighters carrying bombs went straight to the position of the Ahmad chieftain's troops.
Fifteen minutes later, Sky Eagle fighters entered the position of Sheikh Ahmed's troops and dropped bombs, which were blown up on their backs and suffered heavy casualties.
Subsequently, 200 Sky Eagle fighters were dispatched to bomb all military facilities in and around Basra, and the inside and outside of Basra were filled with explosions and fires for a while.
The Ahmet Sheikh forces had no anti-aircraft weapons, and the German, French, and Russian forces had relatively few anti-aircraft weapons, so the attack of the Sky Eagle fighters did not encounter the slightest hindrance, and the bombing went extremely smoothly.
Despite this, several commanders on the side of the Huaxia Empire were not happy at all, because the hundred Wild Bear artillery chariots were not damaged in the bombing at all.
When formulating the bombing plan, Liu Daming and Lin Gecheng unanimously agreed to regard the Wild Bear Artillery Chariot as the most important bombing object, because the Mad Bear Artillery Chariot was the biggest threat to Prince Ibrahim's troops, and a hundred Mad Bear Artillery Chariots rushed over, and Prince Ibrahim was powerless to stop it.
In fact, Liu Daming has always believed that the most effective weapon against the Wild Bear artillery chariot is the next generation of artillery chariots of the Chinese Empire, this type of artillery chariot is extremely mysterious, Lin Fei has never said anything about it, even senior officers like Liu Daming and Lin Gecheng do not know the details of this type of artillery chariot.
Liu Daming asked Lin Fei to send the next generation of artillery chariots to participate in the war, but Lin Fei refused, Lin Fei's reason was that there was no need for us to dispatch the next generation of artillery chariots to deal with the German Wild Bear artillery chariots, it was enough to dispatch the Sky Eagle fighters, and the Sky Eagle fighters could directly destroy the Wild Bear artillery tanks in the old lair.
Lin Fei's practice of not dispatching the next generation of artillery combat vehicles reminded Lin Gecheng of Lin Fei's refusal to dispatch the Nine Flying Dragon fighters at the beginning, the two things are very similar, but the Nine Flying Dragons fighters were not dispatched at the beginning because the Nine Flying Dragon fighters were very advanced, and Lin Fei didn't want the world to see its strong combat effectiveness, and now the next generation of artillery combat vehicles is not dispatched, what is it for.
Could it be that Lin Fei's next-generation artillery chariot is also advanced to the point where it cannot be easily revealed?
The bombardment lasted for a day, almost all the intended targets were destroyed, there was not a single barracks, offices, residences of senior officers, fortifications, etc., of the Sheikh Ahmad Army, and a large number of Sheikh Ahmad troops were also killed in the air strike, but not a single German Bear artillery fighting vehicle was destroyed.
After a day of bombardment, Sheikh Ahmed's forces began a counterattack, this time the Bear artillery chariots rushed out of their bunkers and attacked Prince Ibrahim's forces.
The commander of the Wild Bear Artillery Chariot Unit was very smart, they knew that only the Chinese Imperial troops had anti-armor weapons, so they bypassed the Chinese Imperial troops and specifically attacked Prince Ibrahim's troops.
Prince Ibrahim's troops had no anti-armor weapons, so they could only rely on trenches to block the Bear artillery chariots, and the German engineering troops were strong and could quickly fill the trenches, and the width of the battle line was more than 30 kilometers, and the Chinese Imperial troops were too late to support.
Prince Ibrahim's troops were faced with the Bear artillery chariots, which were often crushed at the touch of a button, and the Chinese Empire hurriedly sent the Sky Eagle fighters out to support Prince Ibrahim's troops.
When the Bear Artillery Tank arrived on the battlefield, it was not easy to attack the Bear Artillery Chariot, because the Maneuvering Speed of the Bear Artillery Chariot was relatively fast, and the Falor Falcon often couldn't find them, and the Mad Bear Artillery Chariot often used terrain and features to dodge, as long as the Mad Bear Artillery Chariot got into the woods, the branches and leaves of the trees would block it tightly, and nothing could be seen from the Sky Eagle Fighter.
Even more detrimental to the Sky Falcons was that they were unable to move at night, watching the Bear artillery vehicles wreak havoc on the ground.
The Sky Eagle fighters could not effectively suppress the Bear artillery chariots, and Prince Ibrahim's troops were defeated and retreated, and the Chinese Imperial troops had to retreat, and if the Chinese Imperial troops did not retreat, they would be divided and surrounded by the forces of Sheikh Ahmed.
The ground battle lasted for two days, and Prince Ibrahim's troops retreated more than 30 kilometers and lost more than 10,000 troops. ”
Liu Daming was despised by Prince Ibrahim and was very angry, but there was no way, now the Chinese Empire just couldn't stop the Bear Artillery Chariot, so Liu Daming ordered Lin Gecheng to send a telegram to Lin Fei, reporting the current battlefield situation in detail, and asking Lin Fei to immediately dispatch the next generation of artillery chariots.
The telegram was quickly delivered to Lin Fei, who saw that the Bear artillery chariot in front of him could not resist the German army, and immediately decided to dispatch the next generation of artillery chariots.
