Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1016 Dingyuan Fort

Bosporus Strait, Dingyuan Fort.

The name "Dingyuan Fort" is the new name given to the castle by officers and soldiers of the 11th Division after they requisitioned the castle.

The troops stationed at Fort Dingyuan are still led by Ruiz, and they belong to the Garrison Garrison on the Bosporus Strait, and are no longer under the jurisdiction of the 11th Division.

Different from the previous Dingyuan Fort, the current Dingyuan Fort has added some buildings. There is an extra ditch on the outermost edge of the castle. Behind the ditch is a permanent fortification made of reinforced concrete. The infantry battalion of artillery and tanks has a total strength of nearly 800 people. Except for the company led by Ruiz, the other troops are all drawn from the Najd Sultanate.

After the trenches and fortifications were built, Dingyuan Fort was dubbed "turtle shell" by the officers and soldiers. Ruiz gave full play to the advantages of the occupying force and recruited nearly a thousand laborers from Constantinople. It took half a year to build Dingyuan Fort. Yuan Fort was built as it is now, and if you want to attack Dingyuan Fort, which is defended by tanks, in the words of the engineering expert who supervised the construction: don’t even think about not having 5000 troops, and you have to be prepared for at least [-] casualties.

After the establishment of the Russian Provisional Government, Ian Hamilton consciously hoarded a large amount of supplies in Dingyuan Fort. The basement of Dingyuan Fort was full of weapons and ammunition, and the soldiers’ dormitories were filled with other daily necessities. Upgraded to a field hospital, Maria now has 6 interns and 25 nurses under Maria, and 128 other staff members.

These newly added doctors, nurses and other staff are all Ottoman girls, and more girls were sent to Cyprus or southern Africa, and some people stayed on their own initiative and became lovers with the soldiers stationed in Dingyuan Fort. This is the case for most of the 128 staff members.

"Major, telegraph from the headquarters—" Gu Xin, who can speak English, is now the telegraph operator of the Dingyuan Fort garrison. She also has good medical skills, but for Dingyuan Fort, the telegraph operator is obviously more important.

Gusin has been naturalized in southern Africa.

Ruiz frowned after reading the telegram. The content of the telegram was very simple. The expeditionary force headquarters requested that Dingyuan Fort enter a state of first-level combat readiness immediately.

Level [-] combat readiness means that battles may break out at any time.

After the surrender of the Ottoman Empire, after two years of management, the resistance in the Asia Minor Peninsula basically stopped, and the Ottomans began to accept the fate of being ruled. There has been no battle in Dingyuan Fort for a long time.

Ruiz convened a meeting of all military chiefs, and the meeting was held in a conference room converted from a small living room next to the hall on the first floor.

When Ruiz came to the meeting room, Wilson, who had been promoted to captain, was chatting with Sofia.

Ruiz and Sofia are engaged, and Ruiz and Sofia will get married when the world war is over.

Seeing Ruiz come in, Wilson stood up and saluted. Sofia also stood up with a smile. Sofia treated her fiancé very respectfully.

"Sit down, we're in trouble—" Ruiz casually replied, handing the headquarters telegram to Wilson.

"Level [-] combat readiness?" Wilson didn't realize what happened.

"Yes, the new Russian government withdrew from the war, and the country ordered our Mediterranean expeditionary force to take back Constantinople and the Garibaldi Peninsula. We must be ready." Ruiz took a seat at the head of the long table, with Sofia on the right : "—Sophia, pay attention to supplementing medicines and medical supplies, and send a telegram if there is anything missing. If war breaks out, it may be difficult for us to get supplements by sea."

Dingyuan Fort is located at the mouth of the Bosporus Strait close to the Black Sea. Once war breaks out, Russian troops will definitely block the Dardanelles and Bosporus Straits. Ruiz must be prepared to face difficulties.

In addition to medicines and medical supplies, there are many things that Dingyuan Fort needs to replenish. Weapons, ammunition, food, oil, and even clean drinking water must be replenished in time.

Three days later, a transport ship will come to replenish supplies for Fort Dingyuan. Now that the new Russian government has not broken face with the Allied Powers, the Dardanelles and Bosporus Straits are still open for Allied ships.

"Can we ask for some reinforcements, don't forget that we only have 800 people now, too few—" Wilson had a little headache. 800 people seem to be a lot, but the new Russian government has two troops stationed in Constantinople. military.

The army at this time is generally composed of two to three divisions, and its strength is usually around 5.

"It's useless. Even if we increase to one regiment, we still don't have as many troops as the garrison in Constantinople." Ruiz didn't want to ask for reinforcements, as adding more troops would bring more variables and stimulate the Russians to be extremely sensitive self-esteem.

Once the war breaks out, Dingyuan Fort will definitely be surrounded by the Russian army. At that time, there will be no difference between the number of people. be able to gain a foothold in an invincible position.

"Why don't you contact General Alexander and hear his opinion." Sophia took another approach.

The eyes of Ruiz and Wilson immediately lit up. All the Russian soldiers stationed in the Garibaldi Peninsula knew that there was a Dionysus with unfathomable alcohol in Dingyuan Fort. General Alexander was a frequent visitor to Dingyuan Fort.

Before Ruiz and Wilson could speak, a guard hurried in: "Alexander is here—"

Really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

To Louis and Wilson's surprise, General Alexander came not to drink, but to take refuge.

"It's over, everything is over, Constantinople has become hell—" General Alexander was still in shock, and drained a bottle of vodka in one breath.

"What's the matter, take your time—" Ruiz and Wilson also had wine in front of them, but neither of them moved. A few people were not in the mood to move their chopsticks.

"The troops in Constantinople rebelled, Alexei was shot by the rebels, Andrei was burned alive, Vladimir shot himself at the last moment of his arrest - I jumped from my office window , changed into cook’s clothes, rode a horse and fled, you guys also go, the rebels will come over soon—” Alexander’s eyes were bleary, and the people he mentioned were regular visitors to Fort Dingyuan.

Ruiz and Wilson looked at each other, both of them could see the horror in each other's eyes, but at the same time there was a trace of relief. The defenders of Constantinople were too busy to take care of themselves, so they should not be in the mood to pay attention to Dingyuan Fort, which is far away from Constantinople. Alright.

"It's over, it's over my friend, the Russian Empire no longer exists, the entire family of the Tsar's father was shot in the basement, the Romanov family and the Romanov dynasty are all over, we are all on the list, my pity My Viya and little Anne are still in St. Petersburg—God, help us—” Alexander wailed loudly, and he did this every time, as long as he drank too much, he would burst into tears, and no one could persuade him.

The rebels really wanted to kill them all. As soon as Alexander's second bottle of wine was opened, the pursuers from Constantinople came outside Dingyuan Fort. The army withdrew from Dingyuan Fort and returned Dingyuan Fort to Russia.

"Also? Do you still have the face to ask us to return Dingyuan Castle to you? Constantinople and the entire Garibaldi Peninsula were brought down by our Mediterranean expeditionary force. You are the thieves who stole things. If you want to return You should also return Constantinople to our Mediterranean Expeditionary Force!" Wilson and a major of the Constantinople garrison stood in front of the drawbridge on the ditch. The major led about a hundred soldiers, only Carrying some rifles, and not one shot in each hand, not even a machine gun.

The defenders of Dingyuan Fort are strong and strong. At the head of the suspension bridge behind Wilson, two light cavalry tanks fill the bridge deck tightly. The length of the 12.7 mm caliber vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun is nearly 1.5 meters. The bullet is almost as thick as a carrot. More than a dozen people dressed as candied haws.

Next to the tank are permanent fortifications made of reinforced concrete. Each fortification has three shooting holes facing different directions. A heavy machine gun is installed in each shooting hole. These permanent fortifications have no entrances and exits on the ground, and the defenders pass through. The underground passages go in and out, and the top of the fortifications is covered with sandbags up to five meters thick, which cannot be destroyed even if they are directly hit by large-caliber artillery.

Where the major could not see, there was also an artillery emplacement of mortars.

The castle that the artillery position was visiting was the last line of defense for the defenders. With a cursory glance, the major found at least ten grenade launchers.

Armed to such a degree, no wonder engineering experts are so confident.

"Captain, the Russian Empire you mentioned no longer exists, and that has become a thing of the past. We now ask you to hand over General Alexander for trial, and at the same time hand over Fort Dingyuan to us—" the major looked at Fort Dingyuan with eyes full of Greed, these tanks, heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, are all desperately needed by the Russian army, not to mention the thousands of girls in the legendary Dingyuan Fort, the damn Mediterranean expeditionary force, they gave Constantinople to During the Russian Empire, the entire city was completely evacuated, and no buildings were left behind.

"Dream! Don't even think about it. Fort Dingyuan is here. If you want to take it away, well, let me see what you have!" Wilson didn't budge. Although he was alone, he was stunned. Put on the momentum of thousands of troops.

This is not an exaggeration. Standing behind Wilson is not only Fort Dingyuan, but also the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force and the British Empire. The major really dare not make too much noise.

It is said that—

It's just rumored that the new Russian government is in secret contact with the British Empire, hoping to get the support of the British Empire. For this reason, the new Russian government did not hesitate to offer very attractive conditions.

Among them is the Black Sea estuary.
