The situation of the Greek army seemed to be getting more and more unfavorable. The front line of the enemy army was difficult to conquer, and some Siman guerrillas of varying numbers appeared on the supply line.Although the Saar people have strengthened their protection, the attack on the logistics supply line is still unstoppable.The Greek army was under increasing logistical pressure, but they were prevented from advancing an inch outside Ankara.

The commander-in-chief of the Greek army didn't know that this was not all the bad luck he was about to experience, because Kemal's counterattack came soon.The first to counterattack is naturally the fastest air force.Although the [-] planes Kemal got were all Sopwith snipe fighters, this fighter also had four pylons capable of holding ten kilograms of bombs.

These small pylons do not have a high load capacity, and the bombs they carry are not powerful enough, but they are enough to deal with infantry exposed to the outside.This time, the entire Siman Air Force was dispatched, and a hundred Sopwith Snipe fighter jets covered the sky and the sun, and dense small bombs fell into the Greek offensive formation one after another.

With the violent explosions one after another, the Greek army's charge was disrupted.The Sman fighter jets that had dropped their bombs were still unfinished. They swooped down one by one at a low speed until the planes were only a dozen meters above the ground before they were leveled.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the plane passing by, the two Vickers machine guns installed side by side on the plane roared at the same time, plowing two blood grooves in the charge of the Greek army.

The planes dived one after another, beating the Greek army into chaos.Soon the roar of motors came from far to near, and hundreds of Mark VIII international tanks came out from behind the trenches.The 57mm cannon and the [-]mm Hotchkiss machine gun on the vehicle ejected flames at the same time, and the Greek army was massacred one-sidedly.

Seeing the heavy losses of the assault team, the commander of the Greek army immediately ordered to retreat, but this order was too late, and the outcome of the Greek army was already doomed.In the field on both sides of the Greek soldiers, a large cloud of smoke and dust billowed up, and soon hundreds of Mark VIII international tanks, Lancaster armored vehicles, and Mark I artillery vehicles carrying 130 mm caliber artillery swarmed, Greek life was swiftly slaughtered from the flanks.

"Hold on, stand firm, and no one is allowed to escape." The officers of the Greek army waved their pistols and shouted loudly.Some brave Greek soldiers also showed selflessness and rushed towards the tank with grenades in their arms.But in the face of a tank with a coaxial machine gun, such a generous death does not make much sense.Facing the Greek death squads, which were not as numerous as tanks, the focus of machine gun care left them no chance.

After the death squads were massacred, the Greek army had absolutely no chance against the tanks.Facing the rumbling steel monster, the morale of the Greek army completely collapsed.The army was defeated like a mountain, and at this time, the officer's scolding had no effect. The Greeks gave up all resistance. All they wanted was to escape, and they had to escape as fast as possible before these steel monsters caught up with them.However, how can a person's two legs compete with wheels and tracks? They were quickly crushed mercilessly, and the few officers and soldiers who refused to surrender were quickly wiped out.

The pursuit battle was like chasing sheep, surrounded by tanks and armored vehicles, the Greek officers and soldiers who knew they had no chance had to surrender.General Kemal used the front to attract the opponent's main force and outflanked the two wings to wipe out the [-] Greek troops in one fell swoop. At this time, the Saar people who were escorting the grain behind were still at a loss.

The 3000 Saar army, who were regarded as mercenaries, was escorting carts and camels full of food at this time, and they were marching towards the front line of Ankara with difficulty.Because the Smans destroyed all the railways during their retreat, the Saar had to use ancient means of transportation.

Along the way, the Saar people formed a skirmish line to protect the food. The commander of the Saar army knew very well that if the food fell to the front line, the Greek army might collapse, so they were extra careful.Commander Sal was concerned about food security, but he didn't know that an enemy army had already targeted him.

As a special force, the purpose of the Arab battalion coming to the Sman Republic is not to fight regular warfare.Their biggest task here is to capture the Saar people to prove that the Saar people are despicably intervening in the regional war, which can give the Sman Republic an excuse to declare war.

Chapter 829 Ambush of Special Forces

The battalion commander of the Arab battalion, Orsini, was looking ahead with a telescope, where the Saar army was in a loose formation.Although these people looked unsuspecting, Orsini could see from those alert eyes that this was far from the truth.

These veterans who had participated in the First World War put such a formation on the basis of adjustments made after absorbing actual combat experience.A loose team can make it difficult for the enemy's machine gun fire to be effective, and at the same time allow everyone to make timely tactical actions to avoid possible attacks from the opponent. Their purpose is to minimize casualties and prepare for the second counterattack.

If it was a Siman, even if he knew this was the case, he would have done it, but the thoughtful Orsini would not be like this.Without seeing the enemy's intentions clearly, and formulating various combat plans, this is not the way special forces should fight.

Detailed reconnaissance in advance, making various arrangements and plans, deploying combat operations with detailed plans, and using precise strikes to destroy the opponent quickly and steadily, so that the opponent has no power to fight back and reaction time, this is the combat method of special forces.

Seeing that the Saar team gradually walked into the ambush circle designed in advance, Orsini put his eyes on the scope.Under the [-]x scope, Colonel Saar Neville, who was walking in the team, looked so prominent. His gorgeous military uniform and shiny riding boots all showed his identity as an officer, and his big-brimmed hat The shiny cap badge on his head was like a well-designed cross target, which made Orsini feel a burst of enthusiasm.

As the supreme commander of the Thrall Army, Colonel Neville did not dare to ride a horse.The experience of the Great War told him that highly abrupt people are often the first targets of ambushes.It's a pity that Colonel Neville's experience is limited to regular warfare, because there has never been a sniper on the regular battlefield in the Western Continent.

Colonel Neville felt a little danger due to years of combat experience.As soon as he was on the road today, he felt very depressed. It seemed that his sixth sense was reminding him that he would encounter great danger today.Walking on the road, this feeling became more and more obvious. At this time, it was almost annoying and disgusting.

Looking around, Colonel Neville saw himself in the middle of the team, surrounded by dozens of soldiers.He was relieved that he didn't find any flaws. With a smile on his face, the colonel chatted with the soldiers next to him, trying to relax his nervousness.

When Colonel Nivelle got excited, he couldn't help dancing. Just when he laughed and waved his arms, as if telling a very interesting joke, a blood hole suddenly appeared on his white forehead.A [-]-type sniper rifle fired a [-]mm rifle bullet through the forehead, rolled over in the brain, and shot out from the back of the head, taking away a large piece of skull and gushing brain matter.Several people around were sprayed with blood and brains all over their faces, and everyone was stunned.

"There is an ambush, spread out quickly." Someone finally woke up, and the Saar soldiers immediately dispersed consciously, and rushed towards the surrounding hiding places.These veterans who have experienced great battles have rich combat experience, and they can quickly make the most favorable choice even without the commander's order.

It's a pity that these Saar soldiers don't know how the tactical design of special forces can be so simple.When they rushed to the surrounding open space, they immediately detonated the mines planted there.As successive explosions sounded, stones flew around and smoke filled the air, immediately enveloping the Saar army.

The Saar wanted to rush forward along the road, but soon stepped on a landmine planted in the middle of the road.The special forces were very particular about laying mines. They laid long mine belts on both sides of the road, and then laid another batch of mines on the road at the bottom of the two mine belts.Wrapped in such a U-shaped mine belt, once the Saar got into the pocket, there was only one exit for the Saar to run.

Surrounded by the cold guns of special forces, the road was full of food carts and camel teams, and it was very difficult to escape from the minefields.When a few Saar soldiers finally bypassed the cart and planned to spread their legs and flee towards the road they came from, the special forces responsible for cutting off the back road opened fire immediately.

Dozens of machine guns sprayed out tongues of flame at the same time, knocking down the unprepared Saar soldiers to the ground, and the soldiers who ran behind were immediately timid and retreated one after another.There is no way forward and no way back, and there are minefields on the left and right sides, and the Saar people have fallen into a desperate situation.Listening to the gunshots all around, the Saar people didn't know how many enemies surrounded them, and finally they had no choice but to surrender.

After gathering all the weapons, the Saar officers and soldiers with their hands raised high lined up in a neat column and slowly walked out from behind.It has to be said that the Saar soldiers have high professional ethics. After declaring their surrender, no one concealed their weapons. The posture of raising their hands is so uniform, which is comparable to the parade of the Hualan Kingdom in later generations.

Orseni led 300 special forces, escorted more than [-] Saar prisoners, and headed for Ankara along the main road.The whole of Ankara was shocked when they saw that the Arab camp had wiped out three thousand Saar troops and captured more than six times its own prisoners.

Kemal didn't expect that the small army sent by Zhao Shouhong would have such a strong combat effectiveness, so he immediately went out of the city to greet them in person.Seeing Kemal in the marshal's uniform approaching, Ossini hurried forward and said: "Reporting to the Marshal, Colonel Ossini, the commander of the Arab Battalion of the Western Special Forces, is reporting to you. We captured 350 seven The prisoners, all of them are Saar people after interrogation, are now handed over to you for trial."

Kemal nodded to accept it, and he knew very well in his heart that what the Arab camp did was Zhao Shouhong's will, which was urging him to declare war on the Saar Empire.Now the army sent by Greece has been wiped out, and the Siman army has taken the complete initiative.At this time, by suddenly attacking the country of Saar, it may be possible to take back all the colonies, and at the same time take advantage of it.Anyway, the Western Special Zone has guaranteed that all kinds of combat materials and food will be supplied openly, and how much benefit he can reap depends on his means.The so-called seeking wealth and wealth, he decided to fight this time to create a bright future for the Ottoman Republic.

He carefully screened the Saar captives, and found a lieutenant colonel among them.This lieutenant colonel is an old acquaintance of the special zone. He was Major Jim Edward who was captured in Western Xinjiang.Presumably he didn't contribute much in the war, so he was only promoted to one level.

Perhaps it was because he had surrendered the Western Special Zone and was so familiar with it now that the lieutenant colonel told him everything he knew without waiting for Kemal to ask.It turned out that Lieutenant Colonel Edward was the deputy commander in chief of this operation, so he knew all about it.

Chapter 8 Thirty with the help of the League of Nations

Lieutenant Colonel Jim Edward was ordered by the Saar Empire Mediterranean Theater Command to assist Colonel Nivelle in managing this special dispatch force. Their task was to assist the Greek army in defeating the Ottoman army, but the order given to them by the headquarters was not to go too far Expose and avoid entering the frontal battlefield.It was precisely because of this order that Colonel Neville had to become a logistics transport force, and was wiped out here as a result.

After Lieutenant Colonel Edward's confession, the captured commander of the Greek dispatched army, Admiral Cyril, also told everything he knew.The truth about the despicable deeds of the Saar Empire came to light, and Kemal held strong evidence in his hands.

Marshal Kemal planned to send this document to the Saar Legation and asked them for an explanation, but was stopped by Colonel Ossini: "General, please slow down, I think this is a way to scare the snake, so that the Saar Empire government has the right to do so." Enough time to erase the evidence. In case the other party delays first, handles it well and then goes mad, we cannot refute it."

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Marshal Kemal asked.

"Making this matter bigger, the bigger the better, and then using civil forces to cooperate with big things can be achieved." Orsini said: "Now that the Paris Peace Conference was established, the League of Nations was established under the leadership of the Saar Empire. This is to maintain post-war order. More than 70 countries around the world have joined the alliance. Didn’t the Ottoman Empire also join? If you submit this confession to the League of Nations, it will definitely cause a sensation. The Zhongchuan Broadcasting Station will report this again, and let the world know Some people are aware of the ins and outs of this matter, and your country's international image will be completely changed, even if you launch a counterattack against the Saar people, no one can complain."

"This is a great idea, and we will follow suit." Marshal Kemal immediately agreed.The representative of the Ottoman Republic secretly brought a confession and went to Brussels, the headquarters of the League of Nations, intending to take advantage of the upcoming first meeting of the League of Nations to attack the Saar Empire by surprise.

During this period of time, the Ottoman National Army was not idle either. They swept across the entire peninsula like autumn wind and fallen leaves, and completely wiped out the remnants of the Greek army.Then Kemal led his army across the strait and quickly captured Istanbul. Not only did he get his own capital, but he also took the huge amount of supplies hoarded by the Greek army here into his account.

The Greek army was defeated for thousands of miles. When they crossed the strait to fight, all the elite troops were sent to the front line, and the rest of the country were old, weak and remnant soldiers.The destruction of the expeditionary army this time caused the Greek army to lose almost all its resistance. Seeing the Sman national army equipped with tanks and armored vehicles coming, the Greek army had no choice but to surrender.

In the past two months, the situation in the Balkans has taken a turn for the worse. Marshal Kemal led the victorious army all the way, and Komotini was quickly conquered. The army marched westward along the railway line, and soon conquered Greece. The form of the important port city of Thessaloniki, Greece was thoroughly eroded.

Faced with this chaos, the Saar people seemed a little flustered. Originally, the Mediterranean Theater Command planned to send a fleet to deter the Sman National Army from continuing to advance. As a result, an old battleship, the Old Man Star, just entered the North Aegean Sea. The mine sank.

The Smans had been prepared for a long time. Their own fleet had been dismembered by the Paris Peace Conference. There was no chance of winning the sea battle, so they dropped all the mines supported by the Western Special Zone.Today's Aegean Sea coast is completely under the shroud of mines, not to mention the Saar Fleet that came all the way, and even the Greek Fleet that is familiar with this waters is struggling.

The threat from the sea was lifted, and the Ottoman National Army had no constraints. The whole army attacked Katerini, and the soldiers pointed directly at Larissa, an important town in central Greece.Seeing that most of the territory of Greece fell into the hands of the Ottoman Republic, the Saar Empire could no longer sit still.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Saar Empire submitted a stern letter of credence through the envoy to the Ottoman Republic.The letter of credence claimed that the Ottoman Republic's invasion of Greece was very unfriendly and violated the Treaty of Versailles. If the Ottoman National Army did not stop advancing, the Saar Empire was obliged to send troops for international justice.

The Saar Empire, which is full of ambitions, plans to use the excuse of upholding justice as an excuse to get rid of the trouble of proxy wars and go into battle by itself.However, the expedition plan of the General Staff of the Saar Empire had not yet been formulated, and the letter of protest from the diplomatic ambassador of the Ottoman Republic was handed over to the League of Nations.

Although the League of Nations was initiated by the Saar Empire, the current world structure is not an era of one superpower after all, and it is impossible for the Saar Empire to completely control this international organization.Among the standing directors of the League of Nations, there are also the White Eagle Kingdom, the Gaul Kingdom, the Rome Kingdom, and the Hualan Kingdom, all of which have some say.These five countries are fighting for power within the League of Nations, and the other four countries are very willing to attack the prestige of the Saar Empire.

This well-documented confession and other evidence were submitted to the League of Nations, causing the Saar Empire to be ashamed. The permanent representative of the League of Nations opened his mouth in a daze for a long time, but could not give any reason to refute.However, this matter is not over yet. The various foreign language channels of the Zhongchuan Radio Station broadcast in various languages ​​​​commonly used in the Western Continent, preaching the shamelessness of the Saar Empire in international politics and inciting the aggression of the puppet against the Ottoman Republic. act.

This is the second time that the Western Special Zone has used the offensive of public opinion to weaken the international reputation of the Saar Empire.Last time on the issue of Ausinia, the Saar Empire suffered a big loss, and then the White Eagle Kingdom industry entered in a big way. As a result, the Saar Empire has not dared to act rashly until now.This time they were bombarded by the news from the Western Special Zone again, and they still had nothing to do. After all, only the Western Special Zone had a satellite, and they had the right to control information. The Saar Empire could only stare blankly at this.

The Saar Empire learned a little better, and did not threaten the Western District with words like last time, otherwise, I am afraid that its international reputation will be even worse.The only thing the Saars can do now is to distance themselves from the Greeks and try their best to whitewash themselves within the League of Nations. As for the issue of invading the Ottoman Republic, we can only wait until later.

Unexpectedly, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing, the Saar Empire intends to get rid of itself, but the Ottoman Republic has posted it by itself. On April 1920, 4, a small-scale conflict broke out on the outskirts of a small city called Zahu on the southeastern border of the Ottoman Republic.

The cause of the incident was that the Sal patrol team patrolling in the Iraqi area was conducting daily patrols, and met the Siman patrol team on the way.Originally, after the Paris Peace Conference, although the Saar Empire occupied the Iraqi region of Sman, it had not yet clearly demarcated the border. As a result, after the meeting, the two sides insisted on their own opinions and asked the other party to withdraw from their own country's territory.

Chapter 831 Border Conflict War

If this kind of thing happened in the past, most of the Siman patrols chose to back down and let the Saar show off their power.The Saar people are used to victory, and the script in their minds is also like this. Unfortunately, this time is different. Instead of retreating, the Siman patrol team put their rifles on bayonets to threaten them.

Threatened by the defeated country, the Saar people had never suffered such a loss. The Saar patrol team immediately went crazy, and one soldier shot directly, killing a Siman soldier as a result.This incident directly led to an exchange of fire between the two sides. Two to 10 minutes after the patrol team started fighting, the Siman National Army arrived first, and they quickly surrounded the Sal patrol team and wiped it out.

The Saar army arrived relatively late. When they arrived at the scene, all their patrols had been killed. As a result, the armies of both sides fought violently and a small-scale battle broke out. More than 700 people were killed and injured on both sides and finally stopped.

After returning, the Ottoman National Army even made a big publicity, claiming that the Saar people despicably opened fire on the Ottoman patrol team first in order to retaliate against the Ottoman Republic's proposal on the League of Nations, which resulted in unnecessary tragedies.The Saar patrol was completely wiped out, and no one could come out to correct it. As a result, the Sman National Army was responsible for the story, and the behavior of the Saar army once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the international community.

Prime Minister Lloyd George looked at the letters sent by various countries, exhorting the Saar Empire to restrain itself as much as possible, and not to overwhelm others with credentials, his face was livid with anger.He didn't understand what happened to the army stationed in Iraq, and why they wanted to make a fuss at this time. This was tantamount to letting the Saar Empire take a bigger blame.
