Chapter 1019 go around the river
Hate is not so easy to eliminate.
The Soviets and the Turks had long been grudges, and they fought fiercely near the Caucasus for two years, and the conflicts were hard to reconcile. Although they were forced to fight by Britain and the United States, they were just a stop-and-fight. It was impossible to cooperate. Especially the Turkish and Soviet troops guarding the Caucasus, maybe their comrades around them fell at the gun of the other party.
The Turks have suffered a lot in the past two years, and the Soviets' land has been ceased. Britain and the United States have originally decided to bury landmines, and those contradictions cannot be completely resolved.
The armies of the two countries are together, and it is already restrained if they can't make trouble. They still expect to cooperate? The Turks even use various excuses to not let the Soviets penetrate deep into the territory.
The Soviets are not easy to mess with. Since Britain and the United States have already let go and Türkiye has lost again, how could the Soviets who have suffered losses in their territory be willing to miss this opportunity?
As a result, the armies of the two countries were guarding against each other, and there was no accurate time to attack the Chinese army.
Of course, they also had other ideas in their minds. The most appropriate way is to take defense from the North Road and watch the Americans deal with the Chinese army on the South Road. After attracting the main force of the Chinese army, they can then get the bargain behind them.
Sometimes allies are just behind the scenes. Both the Soviet Union and Türkiye have lost their strength, and it is considered one if they can retain one.
"The war is still early!" Both the Soviets and Türkiye have such thoughts.
After the alliance between China and Germany, almost everyone felt that they could not see hope for peace. Whoever could survive the long war and persevere to the end would be able to stand among the winners. Even the Soviets cherished the increasingly scarce cannon fodder, not to mention Turkey, which was sandwiched between several major powers.
But none of them expected that the battle on South Türkiye would end earlier than they thought.
The British would not only count on Americans, and Alexander began to draw British troops south of Mosul to temporarily fill in the fragile defense of Mosul.
But he still underestimated the speed of the Chinese armored troops' advancement, and could not detect that more than 10,000 Chinese troops had already attacked near Mosul. However, these were basically the fastest-running tank armored troops, not good at street fighting and had no intention of siege. They targeted the British reinforcements that arrived.
Fly around the site to help.
In the next two days, the 20,000 Commonwealth Army, which had been divided into three routes, was annihilated by Chinese tank troops and captured more than 10,000 people.
At the same time, the cities south of Mosul, whose defensive power has also become fragile, also quickly ushered in a new conqueror, Aladdin's army.
During the two days, British troops in Iraq frequently encountered emergency, and until the third day, Mosul also began to experience emergency.
The 20,000 Chinese troops who arrived later launched street fighting while bombarding Mosul.
The buildings in Mosul could not resist the fierce bombardment of the Chinese army, and the British were not as strong as they thought.
When a vanguard cannon hit 11 heavy shells that shocked the whole city, Ojinlek ordered the white flag to be raised and surrendered to China.
It was impossible for the British to get in two generals at once. Mountbatten was sent to the British Middle East Command Headquarters by the Suez River. Okinlek took the initiative to stay and defend Mosul City, but the British defeat was frustrated. However, looking at the giant cannon shells not far away, directly smashing out the huge pit with oil flowers, and the more than 5,000 casualties and multiple lost streets counted in less than a day, Okinlek could only take the initiative to admit defeat with more than 7,000 remaining soldiers.
After 21 hours, Okinlek was very upset that he did not persist for the whole day. The Americans were also upset that the casualties of more than 6,000 were killed or injured for three days, and more than 3,000 were captured or missing, but there was still no progress.
An Euphrates River allowed the defense to take up a lot of advantages. The Chinese army was very strict in defense, even if there was a breakthrough, it was quickly rushed by the Chinese tank troops and was driven across the river again. The Chinese would even deliberately let go of a gap, put some US troops across the river, and then make dumplings.
In the end, even if they saw a chance, the Americans did not dare to test it easily, but instead let the Turks stand in front.
Even if the Turks, who were far from equipment, rushed over, they would soon be flooded by the dense firepower of the Chinese army.
The entire front was in a stalemate.
They also received help from the British and even sent more than 20,000 people into Syria and joined 30,000 French troops to support Mosul.
But they ignored one thing, since they could bypass the Euphrates River through Syria, why couldn’t the Chinese bypass?
Aladdin suddenly fell to China. The biggest threat was not to capture northern Iraq, but to a Chinese army of more than 80,000 people suddenly emerged from western Iraq and easily invaded Syria.
The indigenous troops in Syria were powerless and the French were also unresisting. When the Americans discovered that something was wrong, the Chinese surprise had already rushed hundreds of miles, captured the important town of Homs with the assistance of the airborne troops, and then abandoned the Syrian capital Damascus and went directly north to take the port of Latakia, a city where the US troops hoarded supplies in Syria.
In order to attack the Chinese army in the Euphrates River, the Americans were also under pressure, and the number of people staying in the rear was not large. In the stalemate with the Chinese army, it was too late to call back the army to rescue.
The Allies on the Cyprus Island reacted first and rushed to dispatch. However, the dispatched fleet was attacked by the joint submarine forces of China and Germany at sea. After losing one light aircraft carrier, two cruisers and three troop carriers, the Allies had to retreat under the threat of a group of fighter jets that accompanied the combat.
As long as the base in Libya in North Africa is in, it is easy for the Chinese army to transform more than a dozen submarines in the Mediterranean. If it is not impossible to give a reasonable explanation, Meng Xiang could even explode the aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean and completely clear out the British and American fleets.
With submarines that can make secret excuses, and Germans have enough personnel to strengthen the submarine force, which has not suffered a lot of losses due to strengthening air strength, there can be sea wolf dens in the Mediterranean.
The situation in Syria is critical. The situation that was originally intended to make the Chinese flank critical, but now it has become the flank critical of the Allied forces in Turkey.
Once the access between Cyprus and Syria is cut off, the Americans who are fighting in Turkey will be cut off from retreat and supply lines. Unless the Turks release more authority and transfer through the harbours in Turkey.
"Since another Chinese army emerges, there will definitely not be much troops on the logistics supply line of the North Road or the Chinese army." Lieutenant General Devs, the highest deputy commander of the Allied Forces in the Mediterranean Theater, said decisively.
