Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

After the proclamation was issued, the media of various countries carried out a series of reports. The Chinese army will soon enter the Middle East. This event has caused an uproar all over the world. People are speculating whether the Third World War will be ignited because of this war. The heart of the world in the Middle East will eventually fall into whose hands?

At the end of August, Herat, a city on the western border of Afghanistan, is not too hot. The air always seems to be wet, which makes people feel uncomfortable, especially those mosquitoes that are getting bigger and bigger.

The terrain of Herat's tropical rainforest will greatly restrict the powerful war machine such as tanks, so Feng Yuxiang did not request to send tank troops to participate in the battle.The French troops in eastern Iran were composed of [-] French troops and [-] local Iranian troops. Juan, commander-in-chief of the French defense zone in Iran, lined up a main force of [-] troops from Mashhad to Zahedan.

After Feng Yuxiang saw the deployment map of the French army, he, who had always been calm, smiled contemptuously. If Zhu An retreated to the front line of the eastern plateau of Iran and used the local complex terrain to concentrate his forces to organize resistance, it might be possible to create a miracle.The terrain of the Iranian plateau is narrow and slender, and it is difficult for large troops and artillery to fully deploy. The advantages of the Chinese army in terms of strength and artillery will be weakened by half; For this reason, two jungle brigades specially used in this situation have been prepared, but now it seems that Zhu An has saved Feng Yuxiang from these troubles.

600 cannons, with their gun coats removed, opened their bloody mouths; tens of thousands of dragon army forward soldiers set up heavy machine guns and light machine guns.The artillery and infantry have all entered the designated positions, only waiting for the commander-in-chief's attack order 7 hours later.

At night, the street lights in Mashhad, a city in northeastern Iran, are dimly lit, resembling the face of an old woman.The whole street is dark and foggy, and the figures that appear from time to time are like ghosts wandering in the night. A few wild dogs tortured by hunger that are almost mad, cuddling and curling up in the shadow of the roadside, using the pair of Facing the pupils with green light, he looked up, down, left, and right for everything that could be eaten.

Mashhad, a city that has been operating in France for a long time, has completely lost the prosperity and wealth of the past at this time. It is more like a gambler who spends a lot of money after losing all his money.Turned into a ragged, unkempt beggar.

In the Mashhad City Hall, it was much more lively, and a special reception was being held here.General Juan is still brave. He moved his headquarters to the front line. In order to show his courage to win in front of everyone, the romantic personality of the French made him invite the local French in Iran when the war was about to start. People attended such a reception.This is the time when the border between Ayi and Yi is tight.Chinese attacks can happen every minute and every second, and the most respected by the French living in Iran is of course a prominent figure like Juan who can protect their lives.It is not unreasonable for them to admire Juan so much. Looking at Juan's resume, we can know that he is currently the only general in the French military who has participated in two world wars and has performed outstandingly. He is also very highly valued by President Charles de Gaulle. General.If Juan will lose the battle, then the French military really has no hope.

Zhu An graduated from the famous Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France, and his entrance examination score ranked seventh among 400 candidates.After the outbreak of World War I, Zhu An served as lieutenant platoon leader.In September of the same year, the brigade headed to the front.In the battle, Zhu An led his troops to fight bravely without fear of sacrifice.In a battle on the 9th, he was wounded by a piece of shrapnel in his left hand, for which he was awarded the Military Medal of Honor.Zhu An went to the Higher Staff College to study again. After receiving his diploma, he worked in the troops of Tunisia and Morocco.During the French army's suppression of the Moroccan Rif people's uprising led by Kerim, the local French commander, General Nogay, appointed Juan as his chief of staff and later promoted to brigadier general.When World War II broke out, France declared a state of war with Germany.The German army invaded the four countries of Lu, Belgium, Netherlands, and France. Zhu An was ordered to lead his troops to Jean-Bloux in Belgium to resist the German attack.When the German army broke through the Sedan line of defense, Zhu An led his troops to withdraw to the area near Valenciennes in France, and took on the combat task of covering the withdrawal of the British and French allied forces to Dunkirk.Soon, Juan's troops withdrew to the southern suburbs of Lille, where they were surrounded by German troops.Although Juan's troops were defeated by the German army, their heroic combat actions were still praised by France. His troops were awarded the honor of "Battle Heroes", and Juan himself was promoted to major general.

In the torch operation plan carried out by the British and American Allies, Juan led the French task force to participate in the Tunisian campaign with the Allies and won the victory.The Allied Command decided to open up a new battlefield in the Mediterranean Sea, landing in Sicily, and burning the flames of war to Italy.Juan was ordered by General de Gaulle to be responsible for forming the French landing force and participated in the famous battle against the "Gustav Line".In the meantime.The Allied forces tried many times to break through the German defense line, went out to the Po River Valley, and drove the German army north of Rome, but they were all defeated by German Marshal Albert Kesselring. The entire Italian battlefield was in front of the "Gustav Line of Defense". There was a stalemate for a while.As the commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force, Juan proposed his own combat plan to the Allied Command several times, but none of them were adopted.But Zhu An was not discouraged by this, and gave up his correct proposition.With the intention of washing away the shame of the French army's defeat in June, Zhu An once again spoke to the Allied Command, claiming: "I can no longer just accept a plan that is flawed but must be done well." Later, Zhu An Ann finally succeeded in persuading Clark, commander of the U.S. Fifth Army, to accept his idea of ​​mountain maneuvering.Starting from May 6th, Zhu An led his troops to implement mountainous detours according to his own plan, thereby achieving tactical surprise, which finally broke the stalemate of the "Gustav Line" for the Allied forces, and cleared the road to Rome. made an important contribution to the road.

This battle can also be said to be the first crucial battle to save face and reverse the Allied forces' view of France since the French army was defeated.For this reason, General de Gaulle removed Juan as the commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force, and appointed him as the chief of staff of the French Ministry of Defense on August 8, who was fully responsible for the work of the French army.In this important position, Zhu An gave full play to his commanding ability and achieved outstanding results. Since then, Zhu An has had a lot of contacts with General de Gaulle.Whether it was during de Gaulle's tenure as the head of the French provisional government or after de Gaulle went down to form Free France, Juan has always been de Gaulle's most rare collaborator.

This time, de Gaulle sent his most important general, Juan, to Iran to fight against the Chinese army, which shows his trust in Juan and the importance he attaches to the Iranian war.

Bruni, a young and beautiful French female reporter from the French "Liberation", walked up to General Juin with a glass of red wine, and asked with a flattering look: "General Juin, are you from France?" Proud. In your military career, you have participated in countless battles. Your troops are always victorious. In order to express my admiration, please allow me to toast you."

"It's a great honor." Zhu An raised his naked neck boldly and downed half a glass of wine.There was applause from a group of troublemakers around.

An official in charge of the bank squeezed over with concern, and asked, "Your Excellency, the current border situation is tight, and the Chinese army is continuously marching towards our border. The war between China and Iran, and even China and France has become inevitable." Excuse me, General. As far as I know, the Chinese army is not afraid of life and death, and is good at fighting. In particular, General Feng Yuxiang, who they sent this time, has been battle-tested and is very good at using troops. Once they confront our army, they will enter Iran in large numbers , how will the outcome be?"

The question raised by the banker was what everyone was most concerned about, so the people around stopped chatting and naturally gathered around, looking eagerly at General Zhu An.

General Zhu An is not tall and has a stocky body. His eyebrows are thick and his eyes are small. In his narrow eyes, there is often a stern look in his eyes.Maybe it's because he wears casual clothes all the year round, but the straight military uniform looks very uncoordinated on him.He is more than 50 years old this year. He has participated in two world wars and won countless honors and medals. He is a legendary general in the hearts of the French. Now he has become the hope of the French in Iran. It has increased its status and weight in the hearts of the French.

Zhu An casually picked up a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, took a sip reservedly, nodded and said: "Originally, today's reception is to celebrate the birthday of my wife who is far away in Paris, and at the same time to bless Iran and France can win this damn war, but it seems that everyone is more concerned about the situation on the border, so I will say a few words. Indeed, the Chinese army should not be underestimated. During the years of war, they have formed They have a complete set of strategies and tactics suitable for their army. They have a group of talented marshals and generals. Now, their domestic and equipment have greatly exceeded our imagination, and their power in the Middle East is beyond our comparison. of."

The beautiful female reporter Bruni next to her asked in amazement: "Your Excellency, do you want to say that we are doomed to fail in the war in Iran?"

Zhu An smiled with an expression that he thought was unfathomable and profound, and said: "What I want to say next is that if this mud-legged oriental giant really goes to war with us, they will definitely suffer an unprecedented defeat. In front of the whole world, they will Tormented with shame and shame!"

"Oh, my God, why, please tell us in detail?" The female reporter shouted excitedly, taking out a notebook and jotting down something on it.

"It's actually very simple. It's obvious. We French have trained in Iran for many years and are very familiar with the local conditions. It is impossible for China to win like the Indian war. Therefore, I dare say that this war will be successful." Victory will belong to France and Iran. Moreover, the glory of the Chinese army will become history. They have never fought a frontal war with European powers. Some of their large armies are young shoots formed in recent years. Maybe one day they will become heroes , but definitely not now! When the deafening cannon fires, the ruthless shrapnel will cut the human body into pieces, and when the scarlet blood is sprayed everywhere, I don't know what they will do. Bold speculation For a moment, if those recruits can keep fighting like the mighty French soldiers without going crazy, without shaking hands or panicking, then I will consider them gods!"

While taking shorthand, the female reporter kept praising her: "That's great, it's so wonderful. It will be published in the newspaper tomorrow, and it will definitely cause a sensation in Iran!"

Zhu An waved his hand and continued to grandstanding: "Also, in the past wars, the Chinese basically fought in their own land and some small countries. The terrain, features, customs, and popularity were all on their side. They closed themselves The set of strategies and tactics created by the Chinese government has been praised to the sky, and it is regarded as a magic weapon for invincible battles. But once they start a war with us, the basis for their previous victory will disappear, and all the conditions for their difficult victory will become our winning weapon. Yes, our northern border is all Gobi and desert, and even though they have a strong army and firepower, they can't use that terrain. Look, what a chance God has given us to make history!"

Middle East Storm Chapter 786 Zhu An's Cowhide

When the people around heard this, they all clapped excitedly. Amidst the crackling applause, Zhu An bowed left and right, with high spirits, as if the victory was already in his hands.

The female reporter stopped writing and asked another question: "According to the information we have received, the commander-in-chief sent by China this time is General Feng Yuxiang. I heard that this person is a famous general who has experienced many battles. In contrast, what are your thoughts?"

Zhu An pondered for a while, and said with a pretentious gesture: "Perhaps people thought Feng Yuxiang was an excellent commander in the past, but compared with French officers, what is he? Everyone should still pay attention to the Afghan military that just ended not long ago. The memory of the war is still fresh. Feng Yuxiang, their so-called commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, was a general who did not live up to his name. During the war in Afghanistan, he was repeatedly obstructed and attacked by tribal forces. China's advanced weapons were completely useless. Very Unfortunately, the opponent he met this time was me, and it is a pity that General Feng Yuxiang will not be so lucky this time. Because the French ace troops who fought against them!" The opponent is in the eyes.

Early the next morning, the major French media, Liberation, Le Monde, Marseille, Le Figaro, Soir de France, Humanité, and Journal de Paris, all reprinted The title of this report is called "China's troops will tremble in front of General Alphonse Juan", and at the same time published Juan's seemingly inspiring speeches at the reception.

However, General Zhu An knew very well in his heart that the rhetoric at the reception could not explain much of the problem. After all, what he was facing was the invincible Chinese army. People would involuntarily turn pale when they talked about it. Even if Feng Yuxiang was in trouble, the troops under him should not be easy to chew. If they want to block their progress, they may have to pay a heavy price.However, this is not North Korea, nor Japan, nor Afghanistan, but the territory of General Alphonse Juan!

"I want to turn my defense zone into the grave of the Chinese army..." Zhu An, who was half asleep and half awake, thought in a daze. In the early morning of August 1915, 8, under the cover of night, an interspersed army composed of thousands of people, like a winding and long dragon, quietly touched the border of Ayi, and headed towards the heavily garrisoned horses of the French army. The Shihad area rushed in.

The two areas of Mashhad and Birjand are a barrier in the eastern plateau of Iran. There are continuous mountains, deep valleys and many streams, and relatively lush vegetation. A road from Nehbandan to here runs through it.To the west of the road is the Yidong Mountains at an altitude of more than 1300 meters, and to the east of the road there is a Bam River winding down from northeast to southwest.Between the Gongmu Mountain and the Bam River are dozens of highlands above 4000 meters above sea level.The two villages of Jilan and Mosulei are located in this area of ​​mountains and mountains, and their geographical location is very prominent.

According to accurate information, the defense of this area is the ace of the French army, the 16th Infantry Shock Regiment.

In accordance with Feng Yuxiang's combat instructions in the previous stage of the campaign, the Dragon Army decided to use two divisions to open the gaps in the Gilan and Mosuleh areas, annihilate part of the French army, occupy favorable terrain, and prepare for the second stage of the campaign. Break through the French positions to create the most favorable conditions.

Chief of the General Staff Zhang Xiaozhun’s arrangement was to adopt the tactics of interspersing the two wings and encircling them, concentrating the force to carry out pincer assaults from the flanks of the French defense area, and first annihilating the enemies on the 803 Heights and 505 Heights. In order to solve the problem in this battle and prevent the enemy from escaping, While strengthening the frontal attack, an interspersed force was dispatched to covertly enter the Jiajing area, cut off the French army's battle formation, cut off the enemy's retreat, and block enemy reinforcements.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 26th, the dragon army's powerful artillery fire preparations began. 6 cannons roared angrily, and the roar of the giant dragon exploded on the French army's position. The continuous artillery fire attack for half an hour made the whole The mountainous areas of Jilan and Mosulei were full of smoke and flames, and the screams of killing all over the hillside were earth-shattering.

Under the cover of the intensive artillery fire of the Dragon Army, the 2nd Battalion avoided the main road and made a breakthrough to the weakly defended right flank of the French army. They quickly captured the No. 3 and No. 5 Heights, and then quickly launched an attack on the No. 2 Heights, but were quickly defeated. With the fierce sniping and suppression of the French army, the casualties of the troops increased, so they could only temporarily stop the attack, take a rest on the hillside, and prepare for another attack.

The 2st Company of the 1nd Battalion took advantage of the steep and dense forest on the west side of the No. 2 highland, and climbed up covertly. When it was more than 20 meters away from the main peak, it was discovered by the French army on the mountain. The smoke bomb that the assault troops must bring, through the thick smoke, shouted: "Brothers, drive away the Frenchman, and follow me!" After speaking, the first one jumped out and rushed to the top of the mountain.

The French soldiers on the mountain were completely unprepared for the troops coming from behind. Before the guns could be turned around, the soldiers of the 11th company had already been killed under their noses like magic soldiers descending from heaven.Up to now, in this situation, no strategies and tactics are useful, only one is useful, short-term fighting, fighting with one's life.

A row of longmen with a Huaxia 98-type light machine gun stood high on a boulder, shooting in circles in all directions, beating the French soldiers lying on their stomachs behind the stone, hiding behind the bunker, and kneeling in the bullet hole; That majestic posture, to the French soldiers, was like a god emerging from hell.

After just 15 minutes, the battle on Height No. 2 came to an end. The French army on the hill suffered heavy casualties, and a small number of French soldiers fled in confusion.

When the 11th company was preparing to clean up the battlefield, a burst of bullets was fired from a hidden corner, and a row of long shots fell down. The platoon leader's arm dragged vigorously towards the French's hiding place.Apparently, the French army hiding in the hiding place tried to use the Dragon Army soldiers as hostages in exchange for their life-saving conditions.Due to the sudden situation, the soldiers of the 11th company did not react for a while, and no one moved.

A miracle appeared in an instant.The platoon leader who was seriously injured seemed to be inspired by God, jumped up suddenly, hugged the French officer's knees with both arms, dragged him hard, and threw the French officer to the ground heavily, and then a row Chang Si hugged him tightly, and rolled towards the cliff along the mountain.

The officer obviously didn't expect that the wounded and dying Chinese soldier still had so much strength. When he felt that the Chinese wanted to drag him to the edge of the cliff in an attempt to fight to the death, he immediately wailed.The soldiers of the Dragon Army around wanted to help the platoon leader, but the distance was too far, it was too late at this time, and it was impossible to shoot.The cliff is close at hand, and below the cliff is the abyss.

The French officer was in the last desperate struggle. While panting and howling, he slammed his fist on the head of a long row, scratched the face of a long row with his sharp fingers, and bit his teeth. With a row of long hair and ears, trying to break free from the hug like iron clamps.The two of them rolled, wrestled, and bitten like this. The stones and land they passed were covered with flesh, and the vegetation was also covered with plasma... The cliff was already under them, and life and death could be decided immediately.The French officer actually reached out and grabbed a crack in the stone, pouted his buttocks, and shook his body desperately, trying to throw a platoon leader off the cliff.

A long row of wounds was bleeding continuously. After this fight, he was exhausted, but he knew that even if he fell, the French officer in his arms would not be able to survive. The gun was aimed at him.But he is still alive, and he still has a sigh of relief. The honor and mission of Long Jun are still there, and the platoon leader does not want to fall short.With all his strength, he pushed on the rock, opened his mouth, and bit down on the French officer's ear.With a heart-piercing scream, a platoon leader and the French officer fell off a cliff more than 200 meters high...

In the battle of Gilan and Mosuleh, all the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Army fought bravely, and after a day and night of fierce fighting, they wiped out the 16th Infantry Assault Regiment, the ace of the French army, killing 803 enemies and capturing 124 people. An arm of the French army.

The French army, which was hit hard, had to retreat to the left bank of the Harman River to organize defenses in an attempt to prevent the Dragon Army from developing in depth.

On August 8, after the 28th Division of the Dragon Army captured the town of Godjaan and completed the task of cutting off the No. 9 passage and preventing the reinforcements of the French army, it immediately organized fortifications on the 396th and 281st heights to prevent the enemy from counterattacking.At this time, Feng Yuxiang ordered the 9th Division to send a capable force to cross the Harman River directly, capture Mount Gamsar, and cooperate with neighboring troops to wipe out the enemies of Mount Gamsar.Among them, the three regiments of the 9th Division became the main attacking force for this operation.

The 9th Division dispatched the capable 379th Regiment, 380th Regiment, and 381st Regiment this time. The right neighbor of the 380th Regiment is the 381st Regiment. Safety. The left neighbor of the 413th Regiment is the 380th Regiment, with one part crossing the Harman River between the small towns of Mosule and Godjaan, controlling strategic points such as the 380 Heights and the 379 Heights, and preparing to block the western aid of the 468rd Infantry Division of the French Army , to ensure the safety of the rear of the 557 regiment.

After 9 hours of fierce fighting, the 380th regiment completely controlled the commanding heights on both sides of the Harman River and completed the task of crossing the river.It was night, and the Chinese army, without any rest, launched an attack on Gamsar Mountain by surprise.

Kerman, French General Command.

General Alphonse Juan has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights. There is not a single piece of good news from the front that can make him rest easy. Mosuleh is lost, Gilan is lost, and now even Godjaan has fallen In the hands of Long Jun.Of course, what distressed him the most was the 16th Infantry Assault Regiment, which he was very optimistic about.This is the capital on which he has made his fortune, and he has been fighting in this regiment since the day he joined the army.In the past, this regiment was his pride, and it was also the pride of the French.Whenever there is an important task, the first thing that comes to mind must be the 16th Infantry Assault Regiment.But in front of the Chinese army, they didn't even hold on for much time, and their defeat was so straightforward.

Middle East Storm Chapter 787 Beautiful Reporter

ps: There will be an outbreak when VIP will be blocked tomorrow, and you will ask for flowers at the end of the month.

Maybe it was my own decision-making error. Against the Chinese army that is good at fighting tough battles, I shouldn't have put the 16th Infantry Civil Engineering Regiment on the front line as soon as I came up.Zhu An chewed a piece of boring bread, while absent-mindedly listening to the staff officer on duty constantly reporting the military telegrams from the front line, while looking up and down in front of the military map.

Obviously, after the Chinese army occupied Gamsar Mountain, they would inevitably penetrate on a large scale, complete the encirclement of Kerman, and then gather and annihilate them. This is the brilliance of the Chinese army.However, they have penetrated more than 50 kilometers into the French defense area, and the battle line is stretched. It must be very difficult to supply logistics. Moreover, most of them are heavy weapons, and the consumption of ammunition is astonishing. At the same time, the transfer of the wounded and sick of the Chinese army is also a very heavy task.

If there is an army that cuts into their rear, retakes the No. 2 highland, and cuts off the connection between the front and rear of the Chinese army, then the dragon army that has already occupied Mount Gamsar will face no food inside, no reinforcements outside, and ammunition. absolute predicament.At that time, the reserve team will be pulled up and hit hard, no matter how hard the army is, it will become a pile of tofu.

Fighting like this, thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhu An's gloomy face, he seemed to have seen a bright prospect of victory.
