Expedition to Europe

Chapter 992 Unprecedented

The prototype of T22 is actually the famous T43, which was one of the best tanks during World War II.

As for T25, this model of tank has no prototype, but is an upgraded version based on T22, and its relationship with T22 is roughly equivalent to T34/76 and T34/85.

Compared with the famous "Tiger" or "Pershing", Soviet tanks do not seem to be so famous, but Soviet tanks have one advantage. Compared with American and German tanks, Soviet tanks may not be so reliable in performance, but they have excellent bulletproof appearance, powerful firepower and good mobility, especially relatively high reliability, and easy to mass produce.

When it comes to whether the performance is reliable, Lan Fang's current technical strength is not weak. In terms of machinery, Lan Fang's technology has surpassed the French and reached a level that is almost on par with the Americans, which is another advantage that the Soviet Union does not have.

What is certain is that Lan Fang's T22 is definitely better than the previous T34. At least Lan Fang's T22 will be equipped with radio equipment as standard, so there will be no embarrassing situation where commanders use flag signals to command the battle in battle.

Just when Qin Zhiyuan and Rommel were having dinner together, Isam and Ogbai were ready to attack in the Haditha area on the border between Najd and Jordan.

Isam and Ogbai arrived in Haditha on the "Kangaroo". It must be said that this air trip left a deep impression on Isam and Ogbai. This was the first time for Isam and Ogbai to take a plane and experience the convenience brought by modern technology. Isam was airsick during the flight and vomited all over the plane. This made Ogbai very embarrassed. When he got off the plane, he gave each of the three Lan Fang air force pilots a pure gold Buddha statue as an apology gift.

The straight-line distance from Haditha to Amman, the capital of Jordan, is only 130 kilometers, which is not a problem for cavalry, but because the camels in the army of Issam and Oqbai cannot be transported by plane, Issam and Oqbai are now leading infantry, and they will conquer the last 130 kilometers on foot.

"130 kilometers doesn't sound far, but there are deserts along the way, and we don't carry much supplies. It's not easy to reach Amman safely." Issam, who has returned to normal, is worried. Looking at the soldiers staggering, Issam is worried that he can't complete the mission smoothly.

Issam is not the only one who suffers from airsickness. The army led by Issam and Oqbai has a total of 3,000 people, and at least one-tenth of the soldiers have different degrees of airsickness. Because Issam is an officer, he can get airsickness medicine to relieve the symptoms, but ordinary soldiers don't have this treatment. They can only rely on their own recovery ability.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we have this, we will have enough physical strength to reach Amman." Ogbai was not worried. He gestured to Isam with a piece of chocolate provided by the Lanfang Air Force.

Isam and Ogbai did not carry much supplies. Many soldiers even had only a basic number of bullets. In addition to the necessary water bags, the soldiers did not carry much food. Fortunately, the Lanfang Air Force prepared chocolate for them, which made many Nejd soldiers feel pleasantly surprised.

Chocolate is the standard food of the Lanfang military. Chocolate, cigarettes and candy are jokingly called "the three lucky treasures" by the Lanfang soldiers. When Lanfang soldiers deal with people from other countries, as long as they take out these three things, they are basically invincible.

"We can't just eat chocolate. If you eat too much of this thing, you will get tired of it." Isam was not very happy.

As princes, even if they are relatively poor princes, Isam and Ogbai have many privileges that ordinary people do not have. For example, chocolate is not common in Nejd, and Isam and Ogbai are not unfamiliar with it.

Isam had eaten chocolate before. To be honest, he didn't like the taste of chocolate. For Isam, meat jerky was more attractive.

Chocolate, candy and the like were just snacks for Lan Fang soldiers. The proper food for Lan Fang soldiers was various canned foods, quick-heating foods and compressed foods. The Nejd military obviously did not have such good logistics standards. The high-ranking Nejd soldiers often ate meat jerky during combat. It was a very good treatment for ordinary soldiers to have a piece of bread mixed with sand.

"Let's go. We have to trust the Lan Fang people. They won't let us go hungry. What's the Lan Fang proverb? If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it first?" Ogbai's Chinese was not very good, so this metaphor was not very appropriate here.

Isam was not in the mood to care about these things. Looking at the chocolate in Ogbai's hand, Isam suddenly felt like vomiting.

At this time, a messenger came running over and told Isam and Uqba to prepare to set off, so Isam stood up and gave an order: "Everyone, line up, get ready to set off--"

Faced with the attack of the Najd people, the Jordanians really had no way to deal with it.

Perhaps because they did not expect the Najd people to move so quickly, the Jordanians were not prepared at all, and Isam and Uqba led the army to cross the border and enter Jordan so easily.

In the desert area, the temperature difference between day and night is still a bit large. It can be hot to death during the day and cold to death at night, but this does not hinder the soldiers under Isam and Uqba much. These soldiers are standard Najd people. They are used to the weather in the desert. Even if it is cold at night, it is no problem as long as they keep exercising.

At about twelve o'clock in the evening, the vanguard finally received the order to take a temporary rest. Issam roughly estimated that they had walked nearly 20 kilometers in the past six hours. Calculated at this speed, if they did not encounter any encounters along the way, The resistance to Jordan will probably arrive in Amman in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.

Marching in the desert is still very exhausting. As soon as the order for a temporary rest was given, the soldiers immediately staggered into a huddle.

Soldiers all have experience. If you catch a cold at this time, you will basically end up with a cold. In Nejd, where there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, a small cold may be fatal.

Isam and Ogbai were not in the mood to rest. They were going to find the Emir and ask him when he would have supplies.

At this moment, Isam and Ogbai suddenly heard the sound of the aircraft engine.

After the "hell trip" during the day, Isam now felt like vomiting when he heard the sound of the plane engine, but Ogbai was extremely happy.

"The Lanfang people are here? Have they sent us supplies? Oh oh oh, we need a temporary airport -" At this point, Ogbai suddenly turned pale.

This is a desert, where can we build a temporary airport? We have already heard the sound of aircraft engines. How can we have time to build a temporary airport?

To Ogbai's surprise, when a group of "Kangaroos" flew through the sky, the "Kangaroos" did not intend to land at the airport. Instead, they opened the tail hatch, threw down a pile of large boxes, and then " "Kangaroo" just looked up and walked away.

"This, this is the end of the world? Where are our supplies?" Ogbai looked at the "Kangaroo" that had disappeared without a trace or a seat, and simply jumped on his feet and cursed.

"Shut up, the supplies must be in those boxes. We have to hurry up, otherwise we won't catch anything." Isam was experienced and called the guard and ran towards the place where the boxes landed.

Najd dispatched a total of two divisions of troops this time, almost thirty thousand people. With so many people and so few boxes, if they didn't run faster, they wouldn't be able to escape even a hair.

"Hurry up, security company, follow me -" Ogbai also looked anxious.

Although their positions are not high, where is the status? Isam and Ogbai are equipped with security companies, which is considered a high-level equipment in the Najd version.

As a result, the meticulousness of Lanfang people once again opened the eyes of Isam and Ogbai. The first thing Isam and Ogbai saw when they hurried to the box was Emil with a smelly face.

Emil glanced at the panting Issam and Ogbai, his expression was particularly cold, but he could not hide the shock mixed with it: "Don't worry, everyone has a share, go find the box that belongs to you, and you are not allowed to take more. , and you are not allowed to take less——"

Only then did Issam and Ogbai notice that the big boxes with parachutes were all numbered. "1-1" meant one division and one regiment, and "3-2" meant three divisions and two regiments. Yes, so easy to recognize.

After finding the box, Isam and Ogbai received another order: "Each person has two boxes of cans, a bottle of water, and a pack of compressed biscuits. No more or less is allowed -"

It wasn't until they opened the box that Issam and Ogbai saw Lanfang's luxury for the first time.

There are nearly a hundred small boxes in almost every big box, and each box contains two square boxes of cans, a bottle of water, and a pack of compressed biscuits, which saves the effort of sorting.

Ogbai couldn't wait to open a box of cans, and then couldn't stop praising: "By God, is this meat? I have never eaten such delicious meat - God, this is soybeans, I recognize this kind of thing, How could the people in Lanfang make soybeans so delicious - compressed biscuits, a bit hard, but taste good - will we be treated like this every day in the future?"

Compared with the excited Ogbai, Isam's expression was a bit complicated.

Isam also opened his own box, which was exactly the same as the other boxes. There was nothing special about it. It also contained two boxes of cans, a bottle of water, and a pack of compressed biscuits.

After eating up all the food as quickly as possible, Isam stood up and saw that almost all the soldiers around him were chewing and savoring their food carefully. Praises were overwhelming, and some were even shaking their heads and sighing. , and some people carefully sealed the opened cans and stuffed them into their arms. It seemed that they wanted to share them with their families when they got home.

"Eat everything, don't leave anything behind, not even a little bit -" Isam suddenly felt extremely panicked. Although no one from Lanfang was present, Isam really felt the overwhelming feeling of Lanfang at this moment. Pressure everywhere.

Unprecedented pressure!
