1890 King of Southeast Asia

Under the pressure of the war situation, or under the pressure of those politicians who were afraid of being held accountable, the Britain quickly passed the scheme of scratching Sipples as the theater.

In writing, Sipples is not currently a British territory or colony, or even a protective area, but is similar to the concession -like region.

Because of this, it gave those politicians a chance to operate on their hands. On the grounds of dividing the theater, the Ottoman Empire Saipus Island was given a low -key to the Huaxia Empire for transporting forces.

On May 10th, four transport ships were equipped with 1,500 Huaxia Empire Navy 6th players as members of the 6th Saipus Island.

On May 10th, the last British garrison was evacuated. The management agency set up by the UK was temporarily taken over by the Huaxia Empire Navy 6th Team.

At 8 am on May 2, facing the first rising sun, one cruiser and three destroyers of the Huaxia Empire entered Sipples Limer. The British flag on the island was descended and the Huaxia Empire flag rose.

After the artillery was indicated, officials from the Arab region on the island marked the effective occupation of Huaxia on the first Mediterranean islands.

Just when the Battleship artillery, the direction of Bergick also began to sound the sound of the booming artillery ...

..............

May 10, 1917.

Bergick, unlike only one division once here, in half a month, a large number of troops entered this small city, making this small city unprecedented.

The 3rd Division, the 5th Division, the 10th Division, the Tenth Division ... and so on. A total of ten divisions are around the Bregik Railway.

In the southeast corner of Bergik, a airport that can take off with heavy bomber has been completed, facilities are very complete, and most of the aircraft have been assembled. There are about 6 ten bombers who can be dispatched in a short time.

Coupled with a series of auxiliary troops and special combat forces, such as self -propelled artillery battalions, the Huaxia Empire has completed the assembly of 20 million troops.

These 20,000 troops have thousands of artillery, 3 to 66 self -propelled artillery, hundreds of armored vehicles, 4 ten or 8 rocket launcher, 6 ten aircraft, more than a dozen airships and tens of thousands of trucks, thousands of war horses , Tens of thousands of other livestock.

There are countless vehicles such as warriors and motorcycles for combat warriors.

The reason why it is basically completed is because there are too many places to use the car, and there are only one railway supply. The fuel and vehicles are very stressed. Tens of thousands of horses or camels are also undertaken a part of transportation tasks.

The war horses are cavalry, but more often they are used to carry things, because there are not many people who have received cavalry training.

With so many people or things, Zheng Lei could not be sitting around the Persian Gulf or Baghdad, and a temporary command was set up next to the small railway village 2 kilometers behind Bregick.

Only when the front line is close enough can he clearly know the status of the front line soldiers, and then decide how to take the next step.

Otherwise, if the Germans at the beginning of the war, a wave of operations were as fierce, and it was about to quickly confront the battle to enter Paris, but German soldiers had no strength to move.

The state of the soldiers can control the victory and defeat of the war.

"Report! Report commander, Li Yunfei, the head of the 186th division, and Guo Liang, the head of the 599th regiment." The guards opened the headquarters tent and shouted to Zheng Lei.

"Entry." Zheng Lei and Zheng took a magnifying glass at 1 o'clock to look at the map. The map was distributed on the map on the map. He wanted to see if the battle plan was leaked -although it had been seen several times, there was no problem. Essence

"Report Commander, Li Yunfei, the head of the 106th division, is ordered to report to the commander!"

"Report Commander, Guo Liang, head of the 5th 6th Division 59th Regiment, was ordered to report to the commander!"

Li Yunfei and Guo Liang walked in with a serious face. After reporting loudly, he stared at the same direction without squinting.

"A little.". Zheng Lei straightened up and returned a gift.

"You should all see the 1st road. The main force of our army has completed the assembly, and it is about to launch a counterattack against the 2nd Army of the 2nd Army of the Ottoman Empire."

"The Tentai Division played well in the early combat, and was very energetic, especially the 5th 109th regiment, successfully completed the task."

Zheng Lei said to go towards his own box, found 1 for a while, and took out a box and 1 piece of paper.

"The command of the General Staff of the 6th Army and the 6th Army's order was awarded the Honorary Medal of the 59th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Army. This is the certificate and your medal." Zheng Lei walked to Guo Liang and stopped.

"The 5th 10th Regiment 1 farewell to live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the Empire, continue to carry forward the spirit of hard work, to the empire ..." Guo Liang took the certificate and medal with excitement. Essence

Zheng Lei stunned 1, and couldn't help but stun Li Yunfei, and then bowed his head and thought.

Li Yunfei can only twitches the corners of his mouth embarrassing. This is not an award ceremony. What do you say to win the award?

"Cough!" Zheng Lei interrupted Guo Liang, who was still endless.

"The 59th regiment's medals, the new shoulder chapter and the new group flag have been sent to the 10th 6th Division. You can just find your teacher."

"Li Yunfei, the credit of your teacher is on the book, and a prize according to the merit."

"Okay, everything, what are you doing, find a place to sit by yourself, I still have something to talk to you."

Zheng Lei returned to the map again. In the whole process, he didn't look at Guo Liang, for fear that he would open up again.

"Whatever the commander has to say, just give it. Our division will definitely complete the task! You said it's not the commander?" Guo Liang saw that the commander didn't have any instructions, and he was anxious to save face for the commander.

Otherwise, what if the commander got jealous and went back to make things difficult for him? . A higher rank can crush a person. The commander is two levels higher than him!

"Stop talking! Shut up!"

"Commander, this guy is right. Just tell me what you have planned. No matter how we fight this battle, our division will definitely not be vague!"

Li Yunfei secretly pinched Guo Liang, then smiled awkwardly and said to Zheng Lei.

"Although your commander has reported to me before, it is a matter of great importance and I still have to ask in person."

"Can the 16th Division still afford the intensity of the attack? This attack will be a mobile operation, which requires a high level of soldiers' status."

Zheng Lei originally wanted to talk directly about their views on the battle, but Guo Liang led him astray.

"Report to the commander, after the return of the 16th Division, the number of personnel was reduced by 1,600. Although the vacancies could not be made up, the overall organization was intact and had little impact on the battle."

"On the contrary, after experiencing continuous wars, they have gained sufficient rest time, which not only strengthened the will of the officers and soldiers, but also fully restored their physical condition."

"The current combat capability of the 16th Division is only higher than before the war, and we are confident that we can complete all tasks!"

Li Yunfei hurriedly expressed his position when he heard Zheng Lei ask this.

Zheng Lei asked this, which means to cancel the 16th Division's frontal main attack mission! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared at Guo Liang.

Guo Liang's performance must have made Zheng Lei think that their division was in an abnormal state.

Such a eloquent person is rare among the commanders of the combat forces of the Huaxia Empire. After so many years of service, Li Yunfei has only seen Guo Liang.

"An army that has experienced fierce battles is indeed different from an army that has not experienced battles and has only fought security wars." Hearing Li Yunfei say this, Zheng Lei nodded.

From the beginning of the war to now, in just one year, the army in the Arab theater has undergone a complete transformation and its combat effectiveness has greatly increased.

This time it is not a change in equipment, but a change in mentality, so even if the combat personnel of the 16th Division have been reduced by more than 1,000 people, equivalent to 1/56 of the total combat personnel, Li Yunfei still dares to say that his combat effectiveness has increased rather than decreased.

A standard infantry division of the Huaxia Empire has 16,000 people. Of course, it is impossible for every person to be a combatant. In that case, there is no need to fight, just admit defeat.

In an infantry division, logistics arms such as transportation, medical care, and military supplies are indispensable. Without these, the division will have no ability to move and continue to fight.

Other special arms such as communications, engineering, and surveying and mapping are also indispensable. Without these, the combat effectiveness of this division cannot be well exerted.

In a division, almost half of them are logistics personnel or special arms. The proportion of logistics and special arms in the army is an important criterion for measuring the combat effectiveness of the army.

A very simple example, the Huaxia Empire is equipped with light machine guns to squads, heavy machine guns to platoons, and rocket launchers and other individual heavy firepower. Even if equipped with standard vehicles, how much supplies can they carry?

When carrying standard base ammunition, food, fuel, spare parts, and spare weapons, it can only support 2+4 to 4+8 hours in medium and low intensity wars.

In medium and high intensity wars, it can even only support a few hours.

After all, motorized troops emphasize mobility. The vehicle is mainly used to carry people, followed by fuel. Unless it acts alone, it will not be equipped with too much ammunition.

At this time, the importance of logistics troops is reflected. The more mechanized or motorized the troops are, the higher the requirements for logistics.

On the contrary, the Ottoman Empire, which has little heavy firepower and mainly uses legs as a way of moving, has lower requirements for logistics.

It is easy to understand that the same squad and the same 1,000 rounds of ammunition may not be used up in one day for the Ottomans, while the two firepower groups of the Chinese Empire and two light machine guns can fire a dozen rounds at a time.

The main losses of the 16th Division are combat personnel. They have not been replenished because of the recent pressure of personnel assembly and the consideration that the combat effectiveness of the 16th Division may decline due to unfamiliarity if new personnel are added.

"So, what do you think of this attack?" Zheng Lei nodded and asked.
