Although both are the Army, the Marine Corps is completely different from the ordinary Army.

This is a purely offensive arm, born with the attributes of the navy, an extension of the navy to the land.

So after the war around the country was completely subsided, the Marine Corps embarked on a journey around the world.

Since the Ninth Regiment of the Third Marine Division was sent to North Africa, it was logical that the entire Third Marine Division would be in charge of fighting in North Africa.

When there is a battle, the third marine division is naturally very happy.

"This broken place is full of sand. I really don't know how people live?"

Chang Ying spit out.

In his view, the entire Middle East is barren and completely unsuitable for human survival.If the geographical location is not very important, it seems that there is no need to conquer.

Of course, if you let him know how much oil is underground here, he probably won't think so.

The three marine divisions were divided into two groups, and Chang Ying took the initiative to take charge of the difficult land route.

After starting from Djibouti, we crossed the East African plateau and came to the banks of the Nile.

The geographical conditions here have already been mastered. If you want to attack Egypt, you can only walk along the Nile River.Otherwise, the lack of water alone would make it difficult for the Third Marine Division to move forward.

Fortunately, Ahmed had already made preparations, and he had already set off a storm in Egypt, and at the same time provided help to the Third Marine Division.

Chang Ying established a logistics base in Khartoum, and then began a hurricane rush.

There was nothing the Ottomans could do about his attack.

Almost all the troops were hit on the front line of Alamein, and other directions were ignored.

In Mustafa's view, Chang Ying's threat along the way is not too great.

After all, it was thousands of miles away, and it would take more than a month just to march over, enough for him to deal with the allied forces coming from the west first.

But then the news from Suez made him fall into an ice cave.

The landing of the Third Marine Division in Suez was tantamount to cutting off the connection between the Ottomans and the mainland, and completely became a lone army.

"We must eliminate the National Defense Forces behind us, otherwise we will be defeated."

Mustafa judged the situation and made a quick decision.

He asked General Engfamus to lead an army of [-] to defend Alamein, and then he personally led the main force back east and rushed to the Sinai Peninsula.

Commanding the landing at Suez was Shu Chengshan, Chief of Staff of the Third Marine Division.

He has a total of 1000 troops along the way, and he is the absolute main force.

Hearing that the Ottomans were coming, Shu Chengshan didn't panic.

"We can't defend here, otherwise the Ottomans won't be able to beat us, and they will probably run away. If we want to complete the battle, we have to take the initiative."

"Yes, the Ottomans cannot be put back."

Li Weihua, head of the Tenth Regiment, was also eager to fight.

"Then let's go north and we must control this place."

Shu Chengshan pointed his finger at Ismailia.

This is the center of the entire land, whether it is Port Said to the north or Suez to the south, the distance is about the same.

As long as this place is under control, the Ottomans will never want to rush through here and escape back to the mainland.

On the way back to the army, Mustafa frowned when he learned of the deployment of the National Defense Forces, and at the same time he was puzzled.

This national defense force has a total of more than 2 people. Why do they dare to leave the sea and fight a decisive battle with themselves in the center of the land?

He has nearly 20 troops in his hands!

He did not think that the commander of the Wehrmacht had lost his head, but had become more cautious.

After returning to Mansorda, they immediately began to collect materials wantonly, and carried out more cruel expropriation on the Egyptians.

Anyway, the rebellion of the Egyptians has been exposed, so there is no need to be too kind to them.

But Mustafa's actions aroused the Egyptians' resistance even more.More and more people took refuge in Ahmed, causing his rebel army to expand rapidly.

At the end of the month, bad news came from the south.

Cairo was breached by Ahmed, and the Ottoman army, which was originally deployed in Asyut to block the Third Marine Division on the Southern Front, suddenly lost its logistical supplies and became a lone army.

They lost contact with Mustafa, did not get any orders, did not dare to act rashly, and could only defend the isolated city.

Ten days later, Chang Ying led the forward troops to the city and quickly launched an attack.

Chang Ying is also worried about the situation on Shu Chengshan's side, and wants to open the road to the Nile Delta as soon as possible in order to support the battlefield on the Suez side.

At the same time, Lu Baoxing led the Ninth Regiment to launch an attack in the direction of Alamein.

Witnessed by the Allies, the Ninth Regiment fought alone and launched the most rapid attack on the Ottomans.

It is flat, and the south is the endless desert of Alamein, so that the two sides cannot play too many fancy things.Head-to-head is the only option.

However, the National Defense Forces have fire support from the sea, and they have mastered the coastal line at the beginning of the war.

Although Lu Baoxing was not as strong as Engfamus, he made a bold division of troops.

Under the cover of the naval firepower point, the 27th Battalion stuck to the coast and resolutely moved towards the side and rear of the Ottomans, piercing through the direction of the Ottomans layer after layer.

Engfamus felt the tremendous pressure and had to send cavalry to launch an assault on the 27th Battalion in an attempt to drive it back.

But the 27th Battalion was close to the sea and received endless fire support from the Navy.

Most of the sad Ottoman cavalry were buried in the artillery fire of the navy. Although the few few broke through the barrage, how could they avoid the musket formation of the 27th Battalion?

The large hole in the flank seriously affected the Ottomans' operations, and they soon fell into the dilemma of being attacked by the Wehrmacht on both sides.

And seeing the 5000 Ottoman army defeated by the National Defense Forces with only [-] people, the Allied forces watching the battle immediately realized that if they didn't take action, it would be difficult to claim benefits after the war.

So the huge Allied forces immediately bypassed the front of the Wehrmacht from the south and launched a mad attack towards the left flank of the Ottomans.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of these allied forces is not worth mentioning, but everyone is brave in a smooth battle.

Engelfarmus was at his wit's end.

Seeing that his army was smashed to pieces, he had no choice but to order a retreat to Alexandria.

As a result, just as he walked to the bottom of the city, he suddenly discovered that there was a red flag on the top of the city.

It turned out that after seeing the one-sided situation on the battlefield, Shang Kexi took precautions and quickly dispatched a team to attack Alexandria.

There are very few defenders here, and the ocean-going fleet has no infantry, but they organized a group of sailors to attack.

With pursuers behind and interceptions ahead, Engfamus could only start to run away.

In the flat Nile Delta, the Ottomans, who have been domineering and domineering for thousands of years, finally tasted the taste of rats crossing the street.

The Allied forces let go of their hands and feet, and followed the Ottomans all the way to massacre.

When Engfamus fled into Damanhur, there were only less than [-] troops left.

Damanhur was immediately surrounded by Allied forces.

Not only did the western front not play a blocking role, but it was self-defeating.
