    Chapter 1250 Codename "Sandstorm" (Part 2) The night was dark, the cold wind was blowing, and the position was silent. Occasionally, footsteps could be heard, but it was the patrols shuttled through the position. The soles of military boots stepped on the sandy ground, making a "sand" sound.  There was a noise, but it couldn't alarm anyone. Most people were asleep. After all, it was after four o'clock in the morning, and there was still more than an hour before dawn. Apart from the beam of searchlight, there were no other lights visible in the sky, only the flicker.  The stars illuminate the moonlight.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Online Reading Novel) There is an anti-artillery bunker in the northwest corner of the position. No light can be seen from the outside, but the lights are indeed on in the bunker at the moment. A few officers on duty are in this anti-artillery bunker. Staff Sgt.  They were busy completing the drawing assignments assigned by their superiors, while the officers were sitting on the ammunition boxes playing cards. Although everyone's eyes were red from the heat, the pile of banknotes on the ammunition boxes beside them undoubtedly made up for the all-nighters' efforts.  Tired.  In this bunker, there is only one officer who looks a little different. He neither works on drawings nor participates in card gambling activities. He is only interested in a letter in his hand and is reading it over and over. Although it has already  He could almost recite the contents above, but he still read the letter with relish. The two pages full of sweet words with a faint scent of perfume seemed to be the most powerful emotional support for this Italian major officer now.  The person who is reading this letter is the Italian Army Major Alcasino Jr., who is the son of the famous old General Alcasino. As a member of the Alcasino family, Alcasino Jr. has never believed that  Fighting is a man's obligation. In fact, he believes that as a standard Italian handsome guy with many talents, such a person should not be cannon fodder on the Suez front line. And little Alcasino has always thought that he is a versatile Italian handsome guy.  , it is his duty to pick up girls.  As for this letter, it was sent from Athens, Greece to the Suez front line. It was received by Major Alcassino yesterday. Along with the letter, there were several photos of a woman wearing almost no clothes. The woman in the photo  The person who wrote this letter was a Greek dancer whom Major Alcassino met when he was in Athens. The two fell in love at first sight. Although Major Alcassino always liked to play around, in front of this Greek dancer, he also felt that  It seems that he should seriously consider the marriage issue. In addition, he is not taken seriously in the leader's entourage. Major Alcassino also feels that he should probably find another way out. As it happens, the Greek dancer's friend  Some of them are engaged in black market trade with considerable profits, and it is not a small black market trade. China's "penicillin" and American "penicillin" are constantly entering Greece and Yugoslavia through their hands. Some  They became treasures in the hands of German military doctors, and some became life-saving medicine for guerrilla fighters.  At the suggestion of the dancer, Major Alcassino was determined to invest in this very profitable black market trade, but this required a sum of funds to deal with the Italian generals and German officers, and the old Alcassino was  Alcasino Jr. has always kept a close eye on his financial resources. In desperation, Alcasino Jr. could only find another way.  Fortunately, Major Alcasino was a smart man. He quickly found a way to raise a sum of funds, a total of two hundred thousand US dollars, all of which were exchanged for gold and gems on the black markets in Cairo and Rome, and then handed over to the man as an investment.  A Greek dancer. After that, this investment brought a lot of money to the major, and the dancer acted as an agent to formulate an investment plan for the major. Now, the letter in the major¡¯s hand is the Greek dancer¡¯s next investment arrangement.  The introduction of the situation, of course, also included her longing for Major Alcasino. In order to ease the major's longing, the dancer sent a few photos of herself without any clothes along with the letter.  Of course, it is unreasonable for an Italian officer to not do his job and think about how to invest and make a fortune all day long. Therefore, when the news that Major Alcassino purchased gold and gems on the black market and used the leader's special plane to transport them reached the ears of his superiors,  After arriving, corresponding disciplinary measures also followed. At the beginning, the superior planned to transfer Major Alcassino back to Greece to command the troops to eliminate the guerrillas. The major wanted it, but later, for unknown reasons, the superior finally transferred Alcasino to Greece.  Major Cassino was sent to the combat unit, but he was not in Greece, but stationed at the Suez defense line.  If we count from the time he left Rome, then Major Alcassino has been stationed on the Suez front for half a year. Since this place is close to the Suez Canal, and the opposite bank of the river is the position of the Chinese ** team, the discipline on the position is very strict.  It was very strict. The major had not left his position to relax in Cairo for a long time. Without a woman, he could only look at letters and photos to comfort his lovesickness.  After reading the letter, Major Alcasino took out the photos from his pocket, carefully put them into the envelope, and put them on his deskdrawer and locked it, then took out a wad of banknotes from another drawer, walked to the gambling table, and prepared to engage in his second hobby, which is gambling. If women are his favorite  , then when there was no woman, gambling became the mainstay of his life, and he always spent a lot of money on gambling, which became the best excuse for the source of his investment funds. The money he won at the gambling table was always  Easier to clean up.  But before Major Alcasino could join in the officers¡¯ entertainment, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the gun-proof bunker, and then another loud noise.  "Bombardment" The German staff members were the first to react and hurriedly rushed outside the bunker, observed it for a moment, then ran back and shouted a few times at the Italian officers who were still indifferent with the cards in their hands.  "The Chinese have attacked. The Chinese have attacked and they must go into battle immediately. They must go into battle immediately." German was mixed with Italian, which made everyone in the anti-gun bunker jump.  "Didn't the Chinese land in Istanbul?" "Are the Chinese going to attack Egypt with the Americans?" "Haven't the Chinese troops in the Sinai Peninsula been transferred?" "Is it just a harassing shelling?  ? Just like before. " No wonder the Italian officers feel a little unbelievable. According to their analysis, at least this year, the Chinese Army will not launch an offensive against Egypt. Although the skies of the Sinai Peninsula have been  It has been restless, but since the German Army was in a defensive strategy in Egypt, the Chinese Army accordingly did not take an offensive stance on the Egyptian front. The warring parties only occasionally fired a few shots at each other across the Suez Canal, but no  Ground troops would be sent across the Suez Canal, except for a handful of special forces.  However, suspicion is suspicion, and the facts do not allow the Italian officers to take any chances, because they have also experienced previous harassing artillery battles and know the scale of the artillery battle, but now, they can judge just by the sound of artillery coming from outside the anti-gun bunker.  , this bombardment is definitely two concepts from previous bombardments, much like the artillery preparations before the launch of a general offensive. The criterion for judgment is actually very simple, just look at the coffee cup placed on the table. If the coffee in the cup ripples,  That shows that the intensity of the shelling is very strong, and it is not a harassing shelling.  Major Alcassino followed the Italian officers in a panic and rushed out of the artillery bunker, rushed to the trench, and looked towards the other side of the Suez Canal. He saw a red light flashing in the dark distance, and artillery shells passing by in the sky from time to time.  and rockets hit the position with a sharp roar, and the violent explosion shrouded the German and Italian positions in a flash of light. The deafening explosions continued, and the ground was shaking, and those who received the most artillery fire were  It is a forward blocking position lined up along the Suez Canal. From time to time, artillery shells and rockets hit the canal. After the explosion, waves more than ten meters high were set off. Water droplets fell from the sky and floated towards the position, just like rain.  .  Shortly after being bombarded, the German and Italian positions on the Suez Canal defense line were completely shrouded in artillery fire. The telephones at various command posts on the positions also kept ringing, and the commanders in the rear were asking questions on the phone.  What happened on the front line? Was it shelling and harassment by the Chinese?  Or has the Chinese army crossed the canal and attacked?  As a battalion commander of the Italian Army, Major Alcassino had to shout to his superiors at the top of his lungs on the phone, "We need artillery support."  German and Italian artillery support arrived quickly, and the Air Force also received orders to take off and bomb the Chinese artillery positions as soon as it got light.  But can the Luftwaffe's jet bombers cross the line of death above the defenses?  Major Alcasino expressed deep doubts about this. The skies over the Sinai Peninsula and the Suez Canal are still dominated by the Chinese "Lightning". Faced with this reality, unless the German Air Force can equip jet fighters with better performance and seize air superiority  , otherwise, once any bomber of the German Air Force is far away from the fire circle of its own anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, it will be the food of Chinese fighter jets.  Hanging up the phone angrily, Major Alcassino ordered everyone to enter the position and wait for the attack of the Chinese ***. Now that the artillery fire is so fierce, the Chinese *** will cross the Suez Canal at any time, and Major Alcassino also insists that,  A narrow man-made canal is absolutely unable to stop the Chinese Army's advance. Although there are no bridges on the canal and there is no need for Chinese paratroopers to launch a desperate assault, as long as the Chinese pull their engineering troops over, there will soon be a bridge over the canal.  If a few pontoon bridges are built to connect the two sides of the canal, the Chinese armored forces will quickly cross the canal and attack Cairo.  When will the bombardment end?  Major Alcasino waited anxiously. He looked at the sky and saw that there was still a long time until dawn.For a while, the Chinese artillery bombardment has entered the most violent stage. In the dense sound of artillery, the explosion of howitzers, rocket launchers, cannons, and super cannon shells can be heard. There is no doubt that the Chinese artillery used their  All artillery weapons that can be put to use.  The major knew very well that once the shelling ended, it meant that the Chinese Army troops would soon appear in his sight. At that time, for him and his infantry battalion, the real challenge began, and for him to meet  Major Alcasino had no confidence in this challenge, so before entering the position, one of the most important things he did was to carry the sweet-talking letter from Greece with him and put it into the chest of his military uniform.  Front pocket.
