Rebirth of the Qing Empire

Chapter 136 My Killing Action III

The Sinai Peninsula is located on the east bank of the Suez Canal, sandwiched between Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, connecting the Asian and African continents, facing the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the south, with a total area of ​​more than 60,000 square kilometers. The peninsula is full of peaks, undulating hills and spreading sand dunes, making it a dry and hot land with sparse vegetation.

The airborne field established by the airborne troops is located in the coastal area of ​​the southern Sinai Peninsula. It is said to be an airborne field, but it is actually just a flat open area. It is only a long enough medium-sized "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jet to take off and land. The open area is surrounded by a low rocky mountain area, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In order to defend this significant airborne field, the advance troops made full use of the terrain and used molded armored steel plate bunkers to build a large number of machine gun fire points and mortars along the mountains around the airborne field, recoil-free gun launch points and long trenches. With the air fire support of the eight continental aviation "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jets that entered the airborne field, they repelled wave after wave of crazy attacks by the coalition forces.

When the battle was fierce, the entire airborne field defense positions were filled with the whistling of long-range weapons such as Type 07 general machine guns and 82 mortars, recoil-free cannons, etc., and sometimes you can hear the sound of single-fire shooting of Type 07 sniper rifles. The Type 12 automatic rifles, Type 02 submachine guns and automatic pistols in the hands of individual soldiers have no chance to fire.

The ammunition consumption and gun wear were so great that almost all individual soldiers became ammunition suppliers and gun repairers for machine gunners and gunners. The "Dapeng" military transport plane kept flying over the airfield, dropping a large amount of ammunition, new guns and reinforcements. Whenever a parachute landed on the ground, the waiting officers and soldiers rushed forward, carried the ammunition boxes or weapons and ran away, and sent them directly to the position to fight. No one paid any attention to the reinforcements who had just landed.

"Sir, where is our combat location?" the reinforcements grabbed an officer and asked anxiously.

The officer replied to them: "There are battlefields around you. Go and do it, boys!"

The guns and cannons sounded in a row on the position, and there was no gap between them. The guns and cannon fire nets fired at the enemy and us were intertwined, and the arcs drawn by the tracer bullets, the flash of the bomb explosion, the exploded soil and stones, and the thick smoke enveloped the entire position.

The coalition had an absolute advantage in heavy artillery fire. Although the eight "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jets of the China Airlines took off, attacked, returned, landed, took off, and attacked again, destroying one coalition heavy artillery, the coalition also quickly replenished and maintained artillery fire suppression on the airborne positions.

The airborne officers and soldiers braved the fierce artillery fire of the coalition forces and fought against the coalition armored soldiers without hesitation. The infantry attacked like a tide, and the casualties were increasing. The roars of medical soldiers were calling everywhere in the positions.

The 82 recoilless gun gunner unloaded the cannon from the "Celestial Soldier" tank and used shoulder-carrying shooting method to more conveniently and flexibly attack enemy tanks, armored vehicles or clustered infantry. The gun body became hot due to the continuous firing of too many shells, but the gunners would rather be burned than miss the opportunity to attack the enemy.

82 The mortar gunners also kept loading and firing, and the gun barrels were red, but the gunners were reluctant to drink the precious bottled water, endured the thirst, poured all the water on the gun barrels to cool down and even pee directly at the gun barrels.

Machine gunners fired continuously, and then replaced the barrel with one barrel. Often, the barrel that had been replaced before completely cooled down, and the one I had just replaced turned red again.

In the trenches, the bunkers were filled with the remains of the dead officers and soldiers piled on empty shells, but the empty shells continued to fall, gradually burying the remains of these dead officers and soldiers. The blood that had not yet solidified was flowing in the gaps between the shells piles...

There are no wounded lying down here. As long as they don’t die or move, the officers and soldiers will be fighting!

Three "Sky Eagle-B" fighters were injured by the coalition's ground-fire firepower during the battle. Although they insisted on flying back to the airfield, they could no longer continue to attack. One of the most injured fighters almost fell from the air like a stone, smashed heavily into the runway, and fell into a bunch of strange things! Fortunately, the armored cockpit of the "Sky Eagle-B" fighter was strong enough, and the two crew members survived. These crew members who had lost their weapons rushed to the position and wanted to join the ground battle.

"You don't need you here! Go and transport ammunition, weapons, steel sheet bunkers, first aid kits... the more, the better!" The officers and soldiers shouted at the pilots. Everyone's face was mixed with blood and dust, just like the mottled color on their camouflage clothes, and their blood-red eyes and white teeth were very conspicuous.

A few days later, as a large number of "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jets entered the airborne field one after another, the firepower of the air strike against the coalition forces was greatly enhanced. The 90mm air-to-ground rockets, high-explosive bombs, etc. mounted by the "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jets destroyed a large number of coalition artillery, causing its armored troops and infantry to lose strong firepower support. The 82 recoilless cannons in the hands of the airborne immediately showed great lethality to coalition tanks and armored vehicles. Whether in the daytime with good visibility or in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, this kind of artillery can accurately hit the enemy's armored targets. The enemy tanks and armored vehicles that were shot were all around the position, burning like lit matchboxes!

At this time, when the coalition infantry's cluster charge faces a fire net composed of a large number of machine guns and mortars in the airborne troops, it is tantamount to suicide. In addition, the condescending machine gun strafing of the National Defense Forces fighter jets has left the coalition infantry with nowhere to hide. The coalition officers and soldiers who are hit by dense 12.7mm large-caliber bullets are often beaten to pieces and become a bunch of bloody and bloody.

With the almost crazy logistics support of the Defense Force's aviation transport aircraft unit, although the airborne troops and the army air force consumed huge amounts, there was no shortage of weapons, equipment, combat supplies, etc.! The total number of airborne officers and soldiers also increased from the initial 650 to more than 6,000, and their strength increased instead of decreasing.

Gradually, the sound of gunfire around the position sparsely, and finally it became quiet...

The airborne troops are worthy of being the elite of the National Defense Force. After six days of bloody battle with the superior enemy, despite almost all casualties, they successfully defended their positions and waited for their first landing troops, part of the 1st Marine Division of the National Defense Force, to successfully complete the combat mission.

In this battle, the coalition forces suffered even heavier losses. Nearly 1,000 corpses and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles were discarded within a radius of 1 kilometer around the airport! So much so that the airborne troops could only send bulldozers from the Engineer Regiment of the National Defense Forces Landing Force to help clear the battlefield.

The first batch of landing troops of the National Defense Forces were composed of six armored mechanized battalions of the 1st Marine Division. They took over the defense of the airborne airborne field and began to build the landing ground on the basis of this airborne field to welcome the subsequent landing of the large force. The airborne troops immediately withdrew to the Masawa base for rest.

The subsequent landing forces include other troops of the 1st Marine Division and two armored mechanized divisions of the New 1st Army. A total of more than 40,000 officers and soldiers, thousands of armored combat vehicles, artillery, various types of mechanized vehicles, and a large number of supplies, and the maritime transportation volume is unprecedentedly huge.

In order to complete this arduous long-range maritime transport mission, the Navy tried all its best to use all the landing ships and transport ships, including four improved "Shan-A"-class dock landing ships of the "Shan-C"-class landing ships, 21 "Giant Fish-C"-class landing ships and 6 large ocean-wide integrated transport ships of the Navy Logistics Department, and more than a dozen large ocean-wide merchant ships from the Beining Ocean Transportation Company were requisitioned.

Among them, the six large ocean-going integrated transport ships equipped by the Navy Logistics Department are extremely impressive with their huge heavy mechanized equipment and material carrying capacity, high speed of more than 20 knots, excellent loading and unloading efficiency, etc. Three such transport ships can load and unload all the combat equipment of a National Defense Force Heavy Armored Division, and can complete the loading and unloading operations by themselves with the ship-based loading and unloading equipment of this ship. It can be said that without these comprehensive transport ships, the National Defense Force's land ace, the heavy armored troops, would not have the possibility of large-scale participation in the war.

First, the two armored mechanized regiments of the 1st Marine Division, which had been assembled in the Sinai Peninsula, quickly raided northward with the air support of the aviation force, and continued to advance to the Mediterranean coast before stopping. They immediately began to build several simple field airports and settled in the "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jet.

After the following army's New 1st Army smashed several crazy breakouts by the coalition forces, it built a defense line that started from the coast of the Sinai Peninsula in the south and the Mediterranean coast in the north, divided the Sinai Peninsula and the Arabian Peninsula, fighting on both sides, blocking the coalition forces on the Sinai Peninsula, and blocking the coalition forces coming from the Arabian Peninsula, but failed to make the coalition forces on both sides meet.

Although the total force of the coalition forces gathered in the area around the Suez Canal has exceeded 300,000, the command center was destroyed by the Lynch Contingent, and a large number of senior commanders were lost. The excellent commanders were unable to be replenished and played a role in a short period of time, resulting in the coalition forces losing unified command for a while. Coordinated and orderly combat operations were not formed between various military branches and troops at all levels, and chaos continued. Although there has been some improvement after unremitting efforts, the combat organization is no longer as good as before, and it has greatly damaged the morale of the coalition forces. The combat effectiveness can be imagined.

On August 15, the "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jets of the National Defense Army Aviation, which successively entered various field airports along the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, began to launch air strikes on the coalition fleets cruising in the coastal waters of Egypt. In the following days, with the arrival of a large number of "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jets, the coalition fleet was forced to retreat after suffering continuous losses. The Defense Force immediately blocked the Egyptian Mediterranean coast.

In this way, the coalition forces on the land not only lost the support firepower of their own fleet's advantage in naval guns, but also catastrophically lost the way out of the sea!

On August 25, more than 80,000 elite officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces equipped with all armored mechanized equipment launched a general attack on the coalition forces gathered in the port of Said and the east, west sides of the Suez Canal, and the Sinai Peninsula.

The National Defense Army Air Force concentrated more than 300 Sky Eagle-B fighter jets and more than 60 Flying Fortress bombers to be put into air strikes against the enemy. Countless bombs, rockets and 12.7mm machine gun bullets fell from the sky, like a huge broom composed of gunpowder, flames, roaring, air waves and flying metal devices, sweeping back and forth on the coalition positions, almost cleaning up everything!

Afterwards, the National Defense Force concentrated on hundreds of 40-barrel 122mm rocket launchers and opened fierce fire on the coalition forces. Tens of thousands of 122mm rockets had red tail flames and shrill whistles occupied the entire sky. The powerful rockets fell overwhelmed the coalition forces' defense line, just like a huge bowl made of death fireworks.

Suddenly, the National Wehrmacht fighter jets in the sky disappeared, the rocket launcher fired, and the surroundings became quiet, with a terrifying silence! After a while, the earth around the coalition defense line began to shake, the vibrations changed from light to heavy, from small to large, causing the floating sand on the dunes to fall...

"It's a chariot!" Someone screamed in horror.

Once this word that made the coalition officers and soldiers was expressed, it immediately caused great panic among the surviving coalition officers and soldiers in the encirclement.

Yes, the armored combat vehicles of the National Defense Forces spread all over the mountains, and there were so many that they could not see at first sight that they could not see any hiking officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces in their field of view! However, the coalition forces were already tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, etc. at this time, and they were all lost. They only used the light weapons in the hands of the officers and soldiers to resist the impact of these steel monsters. How could they fight this battle?!

On the 30th, the coalition forces within the encirclement were forced to surrender.

On September 2, the Egyptian National Armed Forces captured the Port of Seed, and the "killing the evil" operation ended successfully.

In this way, after the "killing evil" operation was over, the coalition forces were completely driven out of North Africa, the Suez Canal became the treasure of the National Defense Force, and Egypt also gained true independence and became another firm ally of China.

At this point, the National Defense Force completely blocked the northern and southern maritime passages of Europeans entering the Indian Ocean, and established a firm foothold in Africa, forcing the Mediterranean, known as the "European bathtub", to open its arms to the National Defense Forces, and the European mainland of the coalition forces was in danger!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what will be done next, that is, the National Defense Forces will definitely begin to eliminate the European forces around the Indian Ocean - the British Indian continent is destined to be doomed.
