Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 842

Without any air defense force, without any camouflage measures, without any logistical supplies, Samara's outlying garrison was like a flood that broke a bank, blindly fleeing inland along a road.This kind of target is simply too cool for Dragon Army pilots.When Chen Cheng received the report from the air force reconnaissance unit, he reported the information to Feng Yuxiang and immediately organized a pursuit unit.This pursuit force is composed of a powerful search battalion of the 12th Youth Infantry Division of the Western Expeditionary Army, a motorized infantry regiment and a military combat engineer battalion.

The advance speed of this army is very fast. In addition to overcoming those damn rough sand and gravel roads along the way, they also need to fight against sudden storms and even rising rivers in the valley, and they also have to fight the rout of Iraqi deserters.Nevertheless, by 3 p.m. on March 18, the vanguard reached the gates of Samara, Iraq's third largest city.Faced with these enemies that seemed to fall from the sky, the commander in charge of staying behind was stunned, and without even the slightest resistance, he announced his surrender to the dragon army.

In the north, the Dragon Army armored units advancing towards Erbil in a fork shape also approached their pre-attack targets.The 51st Armored Battalion under the command of Du Yuming rumbled across the border of Erbil on the night of the 19th.In the process of advancing to the south of the city, almost no resistance was encountered.A large number of Kurdish residents lived there, and they gave a warm welcome to the uninvited guests.They not only provided supplies and comfort items to the Chinese army, but also voluntarily joined the guide team to lead the way for Du Yuming's tanks and armored vehicles.Because they know that the arrival of the Chinese is absolutely beneficial and harmless to them. They have had enough of being persecuted by the Shiites. As soon as the Chinese come, they immediately feel that their day has come. .

With the help of these German Kurds, Du Yuming's army advanced more smoothly. They avoided Birchem, an important defensive town in the south of Erbil, crossed the Tigris River, and penetrated straight into the weakness of the Iraqi Second Army. Ravencha.After several small-scale contests, the Dragon Army seized a large amount of equipment and ammunition, and the loss of Ravencha caused the Iraqi Second Army to shake and quickly began to collapse.

The Northern Army Corps commanded by Tang Shengzhi set off from Kirkuk. They will pass through the central area of ​​Iraq, and that area is the most stubborn of resistance.Feng Yuxiang seemed to have realized that Tang Shengzhi's troops would encounter stubborn resistance on the way forward, so they moved the troops out two days earlier.But even so, they are facing an arduous battle near the Zagros Mountains. What they have to face is the last and most capable military force of the French army in northern Iraq!
The Zagros Mountains are the largest mountain range in Iraq and Iran. It stretches for about 300 kilometers and is more than 4000 kilometers wide, from Turkey in the northwest and Kurdistan on the Iran-Iraq border to the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz in the southeast.The mountains are high in the west and low in the east. The highest peak, Mount Ararat, is located in Turkey, while Zard Peak is the highest peak in the Zagros Mountains distributed in Iran, and the second peak is called Dina Peak.To the southeast is getting lower and lower, and there are only peaks below [-] meters in Iraq.However, the foothills of the valleys between the parallel mountains here have high altitudes and a milder climate. They are the main densely populated areas in northern Iraq.

At the foot of Damavand Mountain in the Zagros Mountains, the railway line from the Caspian Sea port of Sari to Gamsar lies quietly at the foot of the mountain like a long dragon.Although this railway line has been ravaged by war and the southern section has been completely closed to traffic, the northern section can be reopened to traffic in the shortest time after each bombing thanks to the efforts of Iraqi workers.

On the side of the railway line is a mountain road.

As night fell in the valley, the war-torn mountainous area looked bare in all directions. The once towering trees were ruthlessly burned by the war, and there was no sign of life around, leaving only bare stone mountains.When you come here, you feel as if you have entered a world without life.

On the hilltop on one side of the road, pairs of vigilant eyes appeared under a few "stones".As the vanguard, Zhu Shaoliang, Hu Sanyu and the others hid under tents disguised as rocks, just because it was close to the supply base of the French army, and the enemy had already suppressed the electromagnetic coverage to this area, so they could not use wireless communication equipment, and could only adopt old-fashioned methods. wired telephone.

The telephone line had already been laid, and Zhu Shaoliang set up a low-light luminous mirror to observe the movement on the road.Suddenly, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and issued a low-pitched and decisive warning message to the nearby soldiers: "Attention all units! The target is about to appear! Two field armored vehicles, ten military trucks, six Wolverine armored vehicles, four Bison armored vehicles, two A MAX3000 field tank! French, six hundred people!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Shaoliang sneered in his heart: "Frenchmen, the weapons are really complicated, even the chariots are so varied!"

Halfway up the mountain, hidden under a camouflage net disguised as a stone, each dragon army soldier has opened the safety of their weapons, and their guns are aimed at the winding road down the mountain.

Previously, the French army's reconnaissance plane came here. Because of the anti-radar detection cloth, the enemy plane did not find the target hidden in the mountains at all, but sent a signal of "everything is safe" to the French army in the vanguard.

Zhu Shaoliang once again issued a reminder to his subordinates: "The target is expected to arrive in 5 minutes! The attack time is 5 minutes, and evacuate immediately when the time is up!"

The soldiers of the Dragon Army pointed their guns down the mountain, and the Viper bazooka was also replaced with individual cloud-explosive warheads and armor-piercing warheads, looking at the sky vigilantly.

Lv Changqing, the super sniper of the Dragon Army, had already been dispatched from Mosul, and came to this mountainous area to undertake the task of sniping and killing French officers.He has already found a hidden sniper platform by himself, with his beloved ice fox heavy sniper rifle on his back, aiming the black muzzle at the bottom of the mountain. Once he finds an important target, he will not escape his ruthless sniper rifle. kill!Seen from the low-light scope of the sniper rifle, the winding mountain road below the mountain showed a faint green, and all the targets passing down the mountain could not escape his sharp eyes.

"Here we come! Prepare to attack, and fire freely according to the intended target!" Zhu Shaoliang ordered softly.

Convoys gradually appeared on the highway. Before the nervous French entered the ambush circle, they shot continuously at the hill on the left. Dark red bullet marks flew to the hill. A bison armored vehicle raised its 30mm cannon and shot towards the hill. A string of high-explosive shells was fired, and a series of fireballs suddenly lit up on the top of the mountain.

Zhu Shaoliang looked at the raging flames rising not far away, and said to himself that it was fortunate that we set up an ambush halfway up the mountain instead of on the top of the mountain, otherwise we would not die or be seriously injured in this round of French blows.Even so, some people were unfortunately hit by shrapnel in the shoulder, and blood flowed profusely.The soldier gritted his teeth, trying not to make a sound.

"Hit!" With a low and firm voice, Zhu Shaoliang suddenly pressed the detonator button.

"Boom", a dazzling orange fireball suddenly shot up on the road, and the explosion of 3000 kilograms of high explosives immediately lifted the heavy MAX[-] main battle tank driving at the front, and the tank was lifted by the air wave. Turned over, rolled a few times on the road, rolled down from the other side of the cliff, and fell into the bottom of the unfathomable valley.

A Wolverine chariot behind also suffered bad luck, and the entire chariot was torn into a pile of parts flying in the air in the flames, and was thrown in all directions.

Several fire dragons shot out from the top of the mountain, flying towards the road with sharp whistling meteors and fire rain. "Boom boom boom" sounded endless explosions, and one after another French tanks were shot and exploded, throwing up thick black and red flames.Immediately afterwards, several fire dragons shot onto the road, and the single-soldier cloud bombs danced with a light blue dazzling light on the road. The fireball quickly spread and turned orange, swallowing a large area of ​​vehicle wreckage and shocks on the road. French soldiers called.

The high temperature of thousands of degrees turned those French soldiers into burning corpses on the spot. The violently burning fuel sucked out the surrounding oxygen at once. The nearby French soldiers who were not within the explosion range strangled their necks one by one, trying hard to breathe. , But everything was in vain, their eyeballs bulged, they struggled feebly, and finally fell on the side of the road.

"Da da da", flames spewed out from the top of the mountain, and the bullets ruthlessly harvested the lives of the remaining French people. The French people scurrying like rats crossing the street were knocked down one after another, and fell on the road in all directions.However, the French quickly realized that a bison armored vehicle rushed over from behind, and the shooter on the vehicle fired a 30mm machine gun and prepared to counterattack at the top of the mountain. "Puff", a sound like a layer of rags was pierced. A single 12.7mm heavy sniper bullet turned the French soldier's head into a cloud of blood.

"Pfft", another bullet penetrated into the cab. The bullet entered from the driver's shoulder and penetrated into the body, almost cutting half of the body from the left shoulder obliquely, and the whole person was split into two alive. .The car leaned to the side of the road and stopped, and then a grenade went into the car and exploded. The flames flashed, and the powerful impact broke through the restraints of the armored car's shell. vintage convertible car.

Lu Changqing pulled the bolt and pushed an armor-piercing incendiary bomb into the barrel, then he quickly turned the muzzle, aimed at a Wolverine wheeled armored vehicle and pulled the trigger. There was a "bang", and the fuel tank of the armored vehicle was pierced. Immediately start a fire.Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly moved the hiding place.

"Whoosh", another fire dragon shot at the rear row of the convoy, and the cloud explosion blasted a ball of blue light, and with a loud noise, several chariots behind were mercilessly swallowed by the fireball.

"Da da da", the Longjun machine gunners shot the French fleeing all over the road to their heart's content, killing these panicked French devils one by one like they were shooting rabbits.
