The positions on the river bank were heavily defended, and the British army was still nervously waiting for the landing of the Huaxing army.But instead of warships and soldiers, they were greeted by planes roaring from the sky.Forty planes whizzed past in a line, and when they reached the top of the British troops, they quickly opened the hatches.Hundreds of bombs fell like noodles, and in an instant the ground rumbled, and the dirt mixed with black smoke shot into the sky, temporarily obscuring the sunlight for a while.Davis, the commander of the British army, was furious in the command room of the trenches.I have long known that Huaxing Army has advanced aircraft, but I didn't expect to see it today.He took the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, and his generals hurriedly pulled him into the bunker, for fear that he would have an accident."
Is there any news from the British, when will the reinforcements arrive," Davis slammed the telescope on the command table and asked his men angrily."
Report to the general, the headquarters still didn't reply."
The general in charge of liaison headquarters replied in a muffled voice, and the artillery fire outside was continuous, but there was silence inside the bunker.Everyone knew in their hearts that they had been abandoned.The headquarters is also very contradictory now, if they hold on, they are afraid that the whole army will be annihilated, and if they retreat, they are reluctant, so they want to test the strength of the Huaxing army first."
Bastards, a bunch of bastards.Egypt is the springboard of Europe, and the Suez Canal is the gate of Eurasia, what do these old guys think" Davis scolded depressedly in his heart, thinking that the country would react immediately after hearing the news, but it turned out to be like this.He thought like this, but he misunderstood the high-level in the country, they were powerless.Britain suffered heavy losses in the European war, with more than 5 million people killed on the battlefield, and the domestic economy was completely paralyzed.Now the navy is absolutely crushed by the Huaxing army, and after the destruction of the large warships, the small warships are so frightened that they dare not come out at all.After more than 10 minutes of air raids by the Huaxing Army's aircraft formation, the sound of the explosion gradually subsided.Although the British defense line took a lot of effort to dig, it was completely a trench more than a meter high in the shape of a dog's tooth.But under the bombing of the planes, there was still a lot of price.The main thing is that there are no anti-aircraft weapons, and aircraft bomb accurately at low altitudes.The bombs rolled into the trenches, and in one moment thousands of people were blown up and their flesh was scattered.After the first wave of bombardment, the flying formations quickly provided the fleet with specific coordinates.The naval warships stationed in the Gulf of Aden soon arrived at their combat positions, and more than 3,000 guns on the side of the shore fired at once, bombarding the British positions on the shore.Cairo's terrain is flat and surrounded by mountains.The British positions were dug on flat ground, and apart from trenches to hide, there was no barricade at all.After the British army was bombed by planes intensively, it was not easy to recover.I only heard a tear in the sky, as if a storm was rolling in, and the raindrops came in an instant.It's a pity that these raindrops are all shells weighing three or four hundred catties, which are as thick as a child.As soon as the shell landed, it emitted a violent roar, and the roar of the explosion pierced the eardrum within a radius of 100 meters.A bomb landed and soon exploded into a crater with a radius of more than ten meters.The British also held out for a round, and the Egyptian army, which was forcibly pulled into the battlefield, was immediately frightened.There was a commotion on the battlefield, and all the Egyptian soldiers screamed and evacuated to the rear.The commander struggled to maintain order on the battlefield, but his roar was quickly drowned out by the sound of explosions.The British defense line on the shore seemed to have encountered an earthquake, and the soldiers who were closer to the explosion were directly bled to death by the roar.The side guns of the Huaxing fleet were fired every five minutes, and the explosion lasted for half an hour, and nearly 20,000 bombs rained down on the British positions.The soldiers on the position could no longer bear this kind of stimulation, and all of them frantically withdrew to the rear.The British artillery and pillboxes were all razed to the ground, and the smell of burnt corpses wafted everywhere on the position, and the severed arms and stumps were scattered all over the ground.The Huaxing army landed smoothly and occupied the entrance to the Suez Canal with almost no resistance.Davis retreated with his generals amid the rumbling artillery fire.The artillery fire of the Huaxing army was too fierce, and the positions on the river bank could not withstand the artillery fire at all.This happened during the Great War in Europe, when Germany amassed tens of thousands of artillery pieces and bombed the French army at Verdun.Millions of rounds of ammunition alone were consumed, and in the end they were held by the French army.The reason why France did not flinch was because Paris was behind it, and even the mainland would fall if it retreated.But this is Egypt, and not a single soldier wants to die in a foreign land.Especially now that they are fighting alone, even if they hold on, it will be useless.So the commander didn't have the courage to die at first, just bombed for half an hour, and everyone retreated.After the vanguard of the Huaxing army came ashore, they did not rush to attack Cairo, but quickly established a defensive front on the shore and waited for the army to completely land.Each provincial military region of New China has an armored division equipped with 300 ironclad chariots.After 100,000 troops landed one after another, the armored division finally landed slowly.When the cannon fire was heard in the city of Cairo, it was already in chaos.The Egyptian royal family was not the same as the British army, they were originally subordinate to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and were later invaded by Napoleon and Britain in France, and gradually became British colonies.The domestic elite had long been dissatisfied with British colonial rule, and resisted several times and was suppressed by the British.Now that Britain has been defeated by the Huaxing Army, the royal family is also happy to watch the excitement.It's just that they don't know whether the Huaxing army is friend or foe, and the royal family is also extremely panicked, for fear that the Huaxing army will blow up Cairo.After the Huaxing army temporarily stopped attacking, they quickly sent envoys behind the backs of the British to contact the Huaxing army.This attack on Egypt, the Huaxing army was also prepared.There was an interpreter in the army who specialized in the Arabic language, and as soon as the Egyptian envoy arrived, Yang Chen, commander of the Yunnan Provincial Military Region, personally summoned him.Through various channels, the Egyptian royal family also knew that it was the Huaxing army that attacked Egypt.They originally belonged to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and New China had long had a close relationship with Turkey, so they naturally knew a little about it.Yang Chen clearly told the envoy that the Huaxing army only had enmity with the British, and it was to help the Egyptian people gain national independence.He also produced an edict from the Turkish emperor, which explicitly asked the Sultan of Egypt to assist the Huaxing army.The envoy was so excited that he went crazy, and hurriedly went back to report to the royal family.When Sultan Abbas II of Egypt heard the news, he was also excited.The two sides reached a secret agreement right away.The Huaxing army was the main attack, and the Egyptian army cooperated to destroy the British army with all their might.After the British retreated from the front, they retreated to the second line of defense outside Cairo.While they were defending with all their might, they had no idea that there was already a rebellion in the rear.Within a week of the landing of the Huaxing army, all the equipment and supplies of the army were transported ashore, and finally began to launch the final blow against the British army in Egypt
