    After more than 40 hours of jolting in the Indian Ocean, the officers and soldiers of the North African Dispatch Force of the Northeastern Army of China finally set foot on the hard and thick soil of the African continent. Among them, the 45th Brigade and the 1st Brigade were in Mogadishu in turn.  The port landed, while the 108th Light Armored Division, the 8th Brigade, and the 11th Brigade had to detour to Kismayo Port, Marka Port, and Barawe Port to land respectively.  Despite this, it still took the 20,000 officers and soldiers of the 45th Brigade and the 1st Brigade a full night to reluctantly disembark in batches from the crowded, dilapidated, chaotic, dirty and messy Mogadishu Port, and enter the Italian Alliance.  In the military camp prepared for them by the army; at the same time, the fleet's transport ships also successively unloaded more than 350 tanks (mainly "No. 1" light tanks and "No. 2" medium tanks and a few "Northeast Tiger" main battle tanks)  and nearly 400 large-caliber artillery pieces, more than 800 off-road jeeps and heavy-duty vehicles, and more than 6,000 tons of tank fuel and aviation kerosene.

    Chu Qiming, Mu Chanchun, Lu Dongchang, Chen Qian, Zhuang Weihua, Zhang Jiarui and other officers directly flew into the urban area of ??Mogadishu from the aircraft carrier "Victory" in two "Nighthawk" transport helicopters.  When they were about to leave the Indian Ocean Fleet, they received a piece of news from the Northeast Frontier Defense Department that seemed important but was actually insignificant: The Chinese National Government officially declared war on the British Commonwealth at three o'clock yesterday afternoon.  This marked that China and the Commonwealth member states such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and South Africa finally tore off the fig leaf and began to officially fight. In fact, this move was also a sign that Zhang Xueliang was trying to calm the minds of Hitler and Mussolini.  As China (Northeast Army) has unswervingly entered the Axis group.  Of course, before the helicopter took off, Major Pang, the military staff officer, reminded General Garibaldi thirty times, asking him to notify his nervous subordinates in advance, for fear that the extremely dangerous Italian air defense troops would do it again.  Something extraordinary happened.

    It was already past six o'clock in the morning local time, and the city of Mogadishu, which had been sleeping all night, began to glow with life in the rays of the morning sun.  The streets were bustling with local black Somali residents, Arab vagrants, Italian colonial officers and soldiers, and Italian expatriates. They all looked at this yellow-skinned, black-eyed army with surprised eyes, coming all the way from the distant east.  The Northeastern military officers and soldiers who were undergoing a rock-solid military training run in the early morning also had an eye-opening experience along the way. The soldiers laughed and ran all over the streets and exclaimed in wonder: "Hey! Good guys! Why are these people so black? Eat!"  Did you grow up on coal?¡±

    And the officers and soldiers who saw camels, antelopes, zebras and other African animals for the first time opened their mouths in surprise: "Ah! What kind of animal is this? There are two big tumors on its back!"

    Soon, the black residents and Arab residents, who had become familiar with the young Chinese soldiers through the exchange of cigarettes, chewing gum, tea, fruits, trinkets and other things, began to joke with the Northeastern officers and soldiers.  When they knew that this Eastern army was going to fight the British and French in Africa, the blacks and Arabs made faces and used gestures to scare the Chinese officers and soldiers: "Oh! Chinese soldiers, Africa  The grasslands and jungles are very scary! Elephants, hippos, rhinos, and gorillas will trample you to pieces! Lions, leopards, crocodiles, and pythons will tear you to pieces!¡±

    The soldiers of China's Northeastern Army proudly puffed up their chests: "Don't be afraid! We are a powerful army that defeated the Japanese, the British, the French, and the Dutch! There is no opponent we cannot defeat!"

    The blacks and Arabs burst into laughter, and the yellow soldiers also laughed.

    In the extremely hot but joyful city of Mogadishu, senior officers of the Northeast Army such as Chu Qiming, Mu Zanchun, Ge Liang, and Zhang Jiarui were patrolling the streets on foot, but they were in no mood to play around. The shocking scenes and shocking scenes along the way  The jaw-dropping sightings made them feel extremely heavy.  The messy barracks and disorganized defensive positions, the ordnance warehouse stuffed with women's stockings and underwear as well as luxury goods such as black tea and coffee, the listless Italian patrol soldiers, turning a blind eye to their superiors but busy chatting with the companions in the bar.  The drunken woman teasing the middle and lower-level Italian officers, etc., all made Chu Qiming more and more anxious.  But these are nothing. What Chu Qiming finds most unbelievable and unacceptable is that in a filthy brothel, a group of Italian soldiers are lining up to take turns having sex with more than a dozen local prostitutes, sparing no effort.  During the "human-making movement", violent breathing, lustful laughter, and various obscene words were heard loudly, accompanied by the screams and moans of women, while several Italian gendarmes on duty nearby were heard.  Sitting idle a few meters away, smoking and chatting, obviously turning a blind eye to such a commonplace thing.  This scene gave Chu Qiming, who was already in a bad mood, the urge to pull out his hand on the spot.?The Allies rushed to the sea, and the British 44th Infantry Division suffered a disastrous defeat in the attack, losing nearly a brigade at once. Therefore, Montgomery rejected Churchill's request to continue the attack because he could calmly see that the troops retreating to Tunisia  The German and Italian Allies still had the ability to fight with them at this time.  According to documents sent by the German military, Marshal Rommel then specifically ordered Colonel Haeckel, commander-in-chief of the German Engineer Corps, to use 500,000 landmines to build a mine array defense line for the German and Italian Allied forces, of which 15,000  Thousands of them were steel ball mines designed to kill infantry. The Germans called this area the 'Devil's Garden'.  Commander, Marshal Rommel and Chief of Staff Long Yunfeng both advocate ¡®attack, attack.  A general who wanted to attack again, but now he was passively defending in such a frustrating and useless way, which obviously showed that they were indeed at the end of their strength.  At this time, the British army was working hard to clear mines. If the British broke through the mine defense zone of the German and Italian Allies, the African Corps would be doomed!  "Major General Mu's tone was full of uncontrollable worry and anxiety, "Brigadier Commander, the British are competing for time with us!  The latest intelligence shows that a mechanized infantry brigade and an air force bomber squadron stationed in the Suez Canal of the British Army are rushing to Sudan!  It's obviously aimed at us!  "

    "I strongly recommend! We take them by surprise before they have established a complete defensive front! Strike first and strike first! Beat up his grandma's British guy!" Major General Chen put out his cigarette butt and said with uncontrollable passion, "More than a dozen  An hour ago, weren't we all talking a lot about how to repair the British and French on the "Victory"? How come we were all lost as soon as we set foot in Africa? "

    "Deputy, we don't have enough troops now!" Colonel Zhuang said anxiously, "The 108th Armored Division and the 8th and 11th Field Brigades are still dozens of kilometers away. There are neither roads nor railways in this distance, only a few  It is very difficult to transport their heavy equipment and supplies along a rugged trail. We have to wait at least five days. We must wait for these three divisions and brigades to assemble with us and be ready before we can launch the attack. Still  Yes, we are not familiar with the geographical environment from East Africa to Sudan, so if we just rely on the large old maps sent by the Italians, something will definitely happen!"

    After a brief moment of silence in the conference room, Chu Qiming said calmly: "Although the first route allows us to reduce losses and protect ourselves, it is impossible to rush to the aid of the North African Allies in time. If the German and Italian Allies are  After being wiped out in Libya and Tunisia, our five divisions and brigades would definitely not be able to compete with the British and French coalition forces for control of the African continent. Moreover, the defeat of the North African Campaign had a negative impact on the global strategy of the Axis Alliance.  The negative impact is even more incalculable. Since the first route has been fundamentally rejected, we have no choice but to embark on the second road. Since the British are already competing with us for time, then we  I can¡¯t wait any longer. Everyone, prepare to fight!¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
