Chapter 841 The Bone Burial Land

The ancient city of Cairo has a long history and has been occupied by foreign enemies many times. In 1517, the Turks became the ruler of Egypt. After this ancient city became the provincial capital, it reached a period of decline of more than a hundred years.

To the east of Suez is a large desert area, and the possibility of a large army traveling a long distance is almost zero. After Yin Jie, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, sent a small number of troops to guard this direction, the main force began to advance to Cairo. Before this, it was necessary to leave an infantry division to guard Suez. The amount of materials at the port and Shanghai were the foundation for ensuring the victory of the army.

The Turks' enthusiasm for building roads was far less than their enthusiasm for aggression, and the road conditions leading to Cairo were very poor. Fortunately, the short-legged Japanese soldiers showed extremely high obedience and tenacity. In addition, the marching speed of the entire expeditionary army was controlled within a range of 40 kilometers per day. Therefore, although this marching was unprecedentedly difficult, the morale of the army was not in chaos.

It was time to camp again. Japanese soldiers who had been trained for a long time and strictly trained were busy under the command of Ming officers in an orderly manner. Perhaps because of the precious water source, the water wells and other water withdrawal areas along the way were not damaged, and there was a lot of trouble.

Even so, after a day of continuous march, Yin Jie's mouth was covered with sand, and it felt so bad that he couldn't spit it clean. I really couldn't figure it out, what's good about this place? That's it, in fact, everyone knows very well that with such a place as a bridgehead, Africa, Europe, and West Asia, all under the threat of the Ming Empire's military front. Fight wherever you want, as long as the sea route is smooth, everything is not a problem. This place is not comparable to those in Southeast Asia. If you want to make a fortune, don't come to Egypt. The only benefit of guarding the border in this place is military merit. This place is not only a bridgehead, but also a sharp knife on the waist of the Mediterranean. After obtaining the Mediterranean estuary, any Mediterranean country will feel the threat of force from the Ming Dynasty.

Yin Jie didn't know what the base camp was thinking thousands of miles away. All he could do was to resolutely implement military orders. On the world map, an additional yellow area symbolizing the Ming Dynasty had added another territory. As a representative of the new forces, their generation gradually replaced the old people who followed Chen Xie to fight the country in the early days. Compared with those old people, the younger generation had obvious advantages, systematic cultural and military education, and broadened their horizons. Once they had the corresponding title, these young people would soon be able to gain a certain right to speak in the army, and even if they were retired in the future, they could successfully enter the upper courtyard.

The new nobles have a problem that needs to be solved, that is, most of their titles are not hereditary, and if descendants want to continue the glory of their ancestors, they have to devote themselves to this era of expansion. In this process, there are many families who suddenly rise and fall rapidly after falling. The ruthless reality forces countless families to go on this road. Otherwise, they will be replaced by fresh blood and become the dust of history.

Jumping out of a carriage, Yin Jie's face looked ugly. Chief of Staff Zhao Ge came forward and spoke tacitly: "Five minutes ago, the leading 14th Division (Japanese Division) sent a message back. They saw Cairo City and did not find the complete wall."

Yin Jie disagreed with this and said, "What is the use of the city wall now? The 105-caliber cannon of the heavy artillery regiment can easily tear open any city or fortress." This means that Zhao Ge could not agree with it, and he whispered to remind him: "Commander Yin, be cautious in everything and do not underestimate the enemy. This place is evil. In the Battle of Suez, hundreds of people were injured and killed, all of which appeared in close combat in the city. I cannot help but remind you that the opponents we face have their own persistence in faith."

"I won't mention this, I'll send an order and tell the commanders of each unit that if one of our casualties is killed or killed, we will pay the debt with ten locals. Tell everyone that we are invaders here, and any kindness is irresponsible to ourselves and our comrades. The best way to solve the problem is to find the people who cause trouble and kill them all." Yin Jie issued this order without expression. As the chief of staff, Zhao Ge can stick to his own opinions on military plans, but on such issues, he will not be able to speak. If he sings in this matter, he might be shot by soldiers. Similar things are not without precedent. As early as the Nanyang period, this move was widely promoted, otherwise how could the indigenous people on the island be honest. There were indeed some literati in the Ming Dynasty to criticize Chen Xie for this matter, but this kind of sensational behavior of literati is often intensively attacked by ordinary people.

There is no shortage of this kind of Virgin B in any era. This kind of person with a chaotic concept of right and wrong, just ignore them.

The Japanese soldiers carrying rifles looked a bit funny. However, after Yin Jie had been in contact with them for a long time, he soon discovered that these little dwarfs were really not simple. They were almost as hard as they could not endure hardships, and their patience was beyond their previous imagination. When they were in India, the characteristics of these people were shown, and their combat courage reached the point where others' lives were not fate and their own lives were not fate.

Another point is that these short soldiers have extraordinary enthusiasm for hand-to-hand combat. In view of this characteristic, the local emperor Chang Shiren, who was in charge of India, specially got a trick to fight and teach these Japanese soldiers.

When dusk comes, the surroundings appear very quiet. The desertification of this generation is not too serious, and the troops can camp calmly. The only thing that is unhappy is that the temperature difference between day and night here is relatively large. Wear short-sleeved during the day and coats at night.

When Yin Jie was busy coordinating the various units and calculating how to seize Cairo at the lowest cost, Liu Ji, the commander of the 14th Infantry Division under the Expeditionary Force, was having a headache about the subsequent battle. At this moment, the location of the 14th Division was only twenty kilometers away from Cairo, and less than five kilometers behind him was the 16th Division (Japanese). The division's cavalry companies were all sent out, and all the surrounding fifty miles were checked, and no abnormalities were found. The city of Cairo, there were even some ruins of the city walls. At this distance, no Turkish army was found, which was really difficult to understand.

Chief of Staff Zhou Guodong opened the curtain and crawled into the tent. He looked at the division commander who was frowning, trying to find the clues from a pile of reconnaissance information, and walked forward with a smile, "Why do you think so much? You and I have been in the army for many years. Which war did not mean one force to surrender to ten times? Now it is a foreign war. Since you cannot grasp the certain information, just fight a random battle and push forward step by step. This is someone else's home, don't expect others to give in to such a good thing."

This kind of soldiers with a more positive invader mentality are everywhere in the entire alliance army system. Even if it is not said on the surface, everyone has the same understanding in private. Today, the Ming Dynasty can bring new vitality to the plunder of new territory opened up by bayonets. If the Ming Dynasty does not do such a thing, others will do it. If they don’t do it, there will always be someone else’s way to go. One day, others will come to the door. Don’t think that the Ming Dynasty is now invincible. What was the Ming Dynasty like more than 20 years ago? Both of them have experienced it personally.

"Evil nature, really evil nature, I always feel that there is something strange here. Look, twenty kilometers is only half a day. At this distance, if the Turkish army had thousands of cavalry, what would you think would use it?"

"If you think too much, it is impossible for so many cavalry to be discovered. You can't hide it in the city, right? What's the power of cavalry?" Zhou Guodong could not agree with this idea. Liu Jishi's brow spread out and he threw down the pencil in his hand and said, "The remaining problems are simple. There are only two possibilities. One is that there are not a large number of cavalry, and the other is that even if there are, there are not too many."

"Well, cavalry can be said to be the group of troops that pose the greatest threat to our army. According to previous battle reports, Turkey does have a powerful cavalry force. The General Staff's notice said that Turkey is using troops to Europe and probably sent its main force to Europe. Even if it is called back, it will not come back so quickly."

"No matter that, let the 16th Division be notified tomorrow, let them lean over and stand the back road for us. The main force of the division attacks with the strength of two regiments. Under the cover of artillery fire, let's fight first and then let's talk about it."

Just as the two made a decision, a crisp "bang" suddenly sounded in the quiet night sky. The two immediately showed solemn expressions. After walking out of the tent, they soon heard the sound of gunfire. Surprisingly, the gunfire came from the rear on the right.

Egyptian Pashahari in the dark had a solemn expression. He was indeed afraid of death, but he was even more afraid that after the arrival of New Pasha, he would be sent back to Istanbul without any results. At that time, even if he could be spared from death, he would not end well.

Those who have tasted the taste of power will inevitably struggle to death when they ask him to give up. So after learning that Xin Pasha has brought troops to reinforce, Harry made a bold decision and personally led the three thousand camel cavalry in his hand to detour and hide in the desert less than twenty kilometers away from the Ming army camp. The Ming cavalry responsible for the inspection did not expect that there would be an army hidden in the desert. After confirming that it would not be discovered, before dark, the army walked out of the desert and slowly walked out of the desert, climbed the camels with leaves wrapped around their hooves and quietly approached the invaders' camp, preparing to fight in the dark.

"God's warriors, this land will witness our piety tonight and is destined to be the burial place for these pagans. Kill!" Harry roared, raised the sword in his hand and issued an order to attack. In fact, he did not want to give this order at all. He really didn't expect that the enemy would find their whereabouts. You must know that the land here is severely desertified, and the business issued by the camels during their operation can be ignored. The vanguard in front just killed a sentry and the gunshots rang out.
