    Chapter 1249 Codename "Sandstorm" (Part 1) Deep in the silent desert, night dominates the earth. Stars twinkle in the night sky, and the cool wind blows from the southeast, caressing the vast wilderness and caressing it gently.  Looking at the military tents in the wilderness.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) This is a valley in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, which is 40 kilometers away from the Suez Canal. The entire area nearby is called "Hrunaslu" by Egyptian businessmen, which means  "Desolate Land". Long years of drought and lack of rain have turned this place into a desert. Sand dunes are the main landform here. Scorpions are permanent residents here. Humans rarely appear in this area because there is a lack of survival resources.  Necessary conditions, only caravans driving camels may occasionally approach this area while getting lost.  But now, military tents have appeared here. The people living in the tents are not ordinary people. They are all soldiers. Guns are their weapons and attacking is their mission. And not everyone lives in tents.  , many people stayed in the armored vehicles they drove.  The Sinai Peninsula has been garrisoned by Asian League troops since the "Asian Liberation War." The Asian League recognizes the Egyptian government's sovereignty over the peninsula, but at the same time, the Egyptian government also recognizes the strategic peace maintained by the Asian League in the Sinai Peninsula.  After Nazi Germany and fascist Italy occupied the entire territory of Egypt, the Egyptian government-in-exile moved its headquarters to the Sinai Peninsula and is now stationed in Sharm el-Sheikh. It has also officially signed an agreement to become an observer state of the Asian League, and  Rebuilding an armed force capable of defending the Egyptian government-in-exile with the assistance of the Asian League.  However, the Egyptian army is all stationed in the coastal areas and not a single soldier is stationed in the inland areas of the Sinai Peninsula. In fact, the troops currently stationed in the vast wilderness of Hrunaslu are the most senior members of the Chinese National Defense Forces.  Elite armored troops and mechanized troops will be used as an iron fist to counterattack Egypt. Once the superiors give the order to attack, this silent wilderness will immediately boil.  It is now four o'clock in the morning, and two hours ago, all the troops coming from Palestine, Jordan and other positions have arrived at the assembly area on time and are distributed on a fifty-kilometer-wide offensive front. The troops closest to the Suez Canal can even  I saw the light of the searchlight of the German outpost across the river bank.  In this attack, nine armored divisions were deployed in the first round of assault operations, and a considerable amount of infantry units coordinated the attack. Once the Suez defense line was broken through, follow-up units would quickly enter the battle. Before that, a series of special operations  It will also be launched in sequence to ensure that the offensive force assaults smoothly, captures Cairo within the specified time, and cuts off the German army and Italian army in Egypt into northern and southern parts. After that, the Chinese attacking force will be divided into northern and southern parts.  , assaulted upper and lower Egypt along the Nile River, compressing the Axis Army to the coastal areas and the upper reaches of the Nile River.  The battle plan was formulated very carefully and in detail, and when the time came for the attack, the battle was codenamed "Sandstorm". The goal of the battle was to completely control Egypt.  Before the battle began, in order to confuse the German army, the Chinese side adopted a series of strategic deception measures. On the one hand, it assembled a large number of troops in the northwest region of Asia Minor, and focused its aviation forces on bombing Istanbul, Bucharest and other cities, making it look like it was about to make a big move.  The posture of attacking Southeast Europe, on the other hand, continued to create the illusion of mobilizing troops in the Sinai Peninsula. During the day, the troops drove to Palestine and Jordan by road and railway, and at night, these troops quietly returned. On the next day, the same situation as the previous day was repeated.  The daytime operation, which lasted for many days, made it impossible for the Germans to judge whether the ASEAN army's land strength in the Sinai Peninsula had really been weakened.  Although the German army was very cautious and sent a large number of reconnaissance planes deep into the Sinai Peninsula to perform reconnaissance missions, and the escorting fighter jets also engaged in fierce battles with Asian Alliance Air Force fighter jets. It is difficult to say that the German commander will definitely be fooled, but regardless of whether the German army relaxes its vigilance, the Chinese **  The team must launch this "sandstorm" campaign to seize the strategic initiative. In any case, Egypt cannot fall into the hands of the British and American allies. Egypt must become a formal member of the Asian Alliance as an "Asian country" and act in coordination with its Asian allies.  After all, the Sinai Peninsula is located in Asia. Just like Turkey is called a "European country" by the Axis Powers because part of its territory is located in Europe, Egypt is also considered an "Asian country" by the Asian Union because of the existence of the Sinai Peninsula.  As of early this morning, the preliminary preparations for Operation "Sandstorm" have been completed, just like the arrow has been stringed, waiting for the person who pulled the bow to loosen the bowstring.  The man who drew the bow was General Wu Luzhen, and he was assisted by General Lan Tianwei and a group of young staff from the General Staff. Now, the two generals are sitting in this desolate and vast Heruna.  Sulu Valley, walking around in the tent that served as the frontline headquarters, anxiously waiting for news from the navy.    Wu Luzhen glanced at the alarm clock on the table again. It was already a quarter past four in the morning. This is the local time. In more than an hour, it will be daybreak. By that time, no matter whether there is someone from the Navy  When the news came, the Army had to take action, and the Air Force would also carry out assault missions.  Lan Tianwei glanced at Wu Luzhen who was walking around the table, then walked to the entrance of the tent, lifted the curtain, walked to the cool and windy sand, took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his military uniform, and took out one  He put it into his mouth, took out a windproof lighter, lit the cigarette, and took two strong puffs. Then he turned on the lighter and put it back into his uniform pocket. Then he raised his head and glanced at the twinkling stars in the dark sky.  He sighed slowly.  The sky here looks clearer than the sky in China. There is no industrial pollution, and there is no noise and commotion caused by industrial development. Of course, it also lacks the vigorous vitality of the industrial age, so there is no way to prevent others from relying on industry.  The war machines of the times are here to call the shots and do whatever they want.  As a Chinese citizen, Lan Tianwei knows very well what the purpose of this war is. China's participation in this war has a very clear purpose, which is to establish China's strategic advantage in the world. Since the Middle East is China's oil depot, it is so close  The oil depot in Egypt has naturally become a key strategic point in defending the oil depot. As an African country, Egypt cannot stay out of African affairs. From this perspective alone, the United States must not be allowed to control Egypt.  The United States also values ??Egypt. This is the only reason why the United States can¡¯t wait to launch the Egyptian campaign. The United States does not care where the main force of the German army is. What the United States cares about is who is under the control of Egypt. Moreover, even in New York, the United States, there are  A government-in-exile from Egypt competes for legitimacy with the Egyptian government-in-exile in the Sinai Peninsula.  Unless Egypt can possess strong military power, it will inevitably suffer the fate of being influenced by the strategy of a powerful country.  This world is real.  While sighing, Lan Tianwei suddenly heard the clicking of the telegraph keys coming from the tent behind him, so he turned around, walked into the tent, and looked up, Wu Luzhen was already standing by the telegraph machine, with several people standing beside him.  Staff officer, everyone is staring at the telegraph operator's hand-translation of the code captured by the automatic telegraph receiver.  "How's it going? Is the naval operation going well?" Lan Tianwei caught up a few steps and stood next to Wu Luzhen. He also looked at the manuscript in the telegraph operator's hand. The code had not yet been fully translated, but from the first few sentences  Judging from the words, everything is obviously going well for the Navy.  Soon, the telegraph operator finished translating the entire telegram. Wu Luzhen grabbed the copy in her hand, glanced at it quickly, and then patted her thigh.  "Okay, it's our turn to take action. The Navy dispatched torpedo boat troops, raided the German fleet cruising in the Greek port, and sank several warships, and the Navy's Bullfrog special operations force also raided the Italian fleet stationed at the Cyprus naval base.  Fleet, severely damaged two Italian battleships. The rest depends on our army. "Because the Suez Canal is still blocked and cannot be navigable, under this situation, large ships of the Chinese Navy cannot quickly enter the Mediterranean Sea to fight.  , therefore, the navy's assault can only be carried out in the form of special operations, using railways to transport a group of high-speed torpedo boats from the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf to the Turkish coast, and hiding them in the harbor facing the Aegean Sea. At the same time, the "Bullfrog" troops  All were transferred from the Caspian Sea station to Palestine to perform special operations missions. The purpose was not to severely damage the Axis naval fleet, but to confuse the German army's sight and create a posture of simultaneously attacking Southeast Europe to cover the military operations in the Sinai Peninsula.  Lan Tianwei took the telegram copy handed over by Wu Luzhen and glanced at it. He had no objection and nodded.  "Commander Wu, please give an attack order." Wu Luzhen glanced at the alarm clock. It was just half past four, and there was still some time before dawn. However, considering that some troops were deployed in distant areas and it would take time to move in, he immediately went to  Those troops issued advance orders and also issued orders to the artillery units in front-line positions to carry out fire preparations.  "Code name 'Sandstorm'." It was just a very simple code, and then, the "Sandstorm" operation was officially launched.  The first to receive the order was the artillery unit of the Chinese National Defense Forces closest to the Suez Canal front line. This was not a small scattered artillery unit, but a firepower projection unit with "artillery divisions" and "artillery brigades" as basic combat units. They not only  Equipped with a large number of long-range support artillery, and also equipped with a large number of heavy-duty multiple rocket launchers, and even several missile units equipped with surface-to-surface tactical missiles. If all goes well, this is likely to be the first time that China's tactical missile units have officially  debuted, their targets were long-distance German strategic locations, such as Alexander, Azerbaijan,Coastal ports such as Laman do not seek to accurately attack a certain warehouse or dock, but just to create chaos and test the performance and combat effectiveness of China's first-generation tactical missiles. While these missile units are firing, the tactical missiles stationed on the Asia Minor Peninsula  Troops will also project firepower into the southeastern corner of Europe, also to confuse enemy forces.  As for the air force assault time, it will be arranged after dawn.  At 4:45 in the morning, the attack of the Chinese ** team officially began. What kicked off the battle was the cluster rocket launched by the roaring long-range heavy multiple rocket launcher. Its fierce firepower will inflict heavy firepower on all those under attack.  In fact, the German army had already experienced the power of this rocket launcher on the battlefield in Asia Minor. The German soldiers gave this weapon an vivid nickname: Steel Rain.  When the "Steel Rain" fell on the west side of the Suez Canal, this "sandstorm" that had been gathering strength for a long time officially launched.
