Chapter 1114(2/2)
A string of hot bullets were fired at the Kurds!
The Kurds suffered heavy casualties. Taking advantage of this moment, the captain led his men to launch an attack.
The battle lasted only half an hour, and only seventy-eight of the more than a hundred men were left. There were also a dozen injured, who were carried onto tricycles by people running up from behind.
In total, almost two hundred Kurds were killed, wearing various clothes.
But three of the corpses were wearing gray military uniforms with the Star of David logo on their armbands.
"It's true! There are Hebrews mixed among the Kurds." The captain took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Jiu.
"I'm afraid not only that, many of those who attacked our position today were wearing these gray military uniforms.
Moreover, some of them were wearing steel helmets. You could tell they were elites just by looking at them!
Sir, when will reinforcements come? If we don't, this front will be in trouble."
Li Jiu took the cigarette, took out a match and helped the captain light it, then lit it himself and started smoking.
"The commander-in-chief has already recruited troops at home, but the water from far away cannot quench the thirst for nearness.
The entire Middle East is in chaos, and there are no troops available.
The nearest place with the largest number of troops was Constantinople.
I heard that a division has been dispatched, and a battalion has been dispatched from Crete and Cyrenaica.
The leading troops have disembarked in Basra, and the rest will probably arrive within three to five days."
The captain took a puff of cigarette and looked at the battlefield still filled with smoke.
After more than two months of fighting with the Kurds on this land, large-scale reinforcements finally arrived.
Everyone was excited because of the news!
"I heard that Egypt and Suezburg were both under siege, and what happened to these Arabs.
He usually behaves like a bird, but now he is actually rebelling."
"Who the hell knows? You're a good boy. Others send a squad leader to lead the team, but you actually came with the troops yourself.
What’s it called?”
"Sir, my name is Li Jiu.
I really can’t squeeze out people in our position, so I can’t bring people here by myself.”
"Okay, you are a man. I will remember you!"
"Sir, when can we go down to rest? My platoon is about to be crippled. There are only fifteen people in the whole platoon now.
The guard position is more than 300 meters long, which we fought with the company last night.
I really can’t hold on any longer!”
"It's almost time! It will only take a day or two. Just hold on.
The Kurds have launched such a large-scale attack, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold on for long. They should not launch another attack this afternoon."
"Why! I don't know other people's positions. My position is like a sieve now..." Li Jiu felt strange. If it were him, he would definitely take this opportunity to launch an attack.
"Haha! Do you think their logistics supplies can compare with ours?
Our supply line is just from the bus line to the front line. Your position is almost at the forefront, which is only more than thirty kilometers in total.
But look, how long are the supply lines of these Kurds?
In the morning's attack, they used so many heavy artillery shells and how many mortar shells they used.
Not to mention, the bullets were raining down.
This kind of attack has no problem with personnel, but there is a problem with logistics!
You know, in order to support your front line today, the artillery barrels were reddened, and the commander of the regiment's artillery battalion was so smoked that he looked like a little devil.
I heard that the commander is going to play a big game this time."
The captain said something mysterious to Li Jiu, then stopped talking and continued to smoke.
The fighting outside Basra was in full swing, but Li Xiu in Cairo city had a terrible headache.
Unlike Basra, where there are live ammunition, the situation in Cairo is very high.
The soldiers of the patrol team were patrolling the city normally, but at some point, a bullet would be fired from nowhere and take away the lives of the soldiers.
No one knows where the bullet came from.
Because these people only fired one shot, no matter whether they hit or not, they would immediately hide and run away.
The standard was to shoot once and change places. Although the gun was often discharged, after three months, the results were brilliant.
As early as three months ago, when the turbulent situation first invaded Cairo, Li Xiu ordered the entire city of Cairo to impose martial law.
But now that martial law has been in force for three months, the freedom to sneak attack patrols has not diminished.
Moreover, it also has the meaning of becoming Bengali.
In the beginning, it was just a rifle attack. If you can hit it, it will be fine. If you don't, there will be no loss.
But later, the attacker actually had a grenade in his hand.
This is the equipment of the Ming army infantry, a deadly weapon for attacking dense crowds and gunmen within 600 meters.
And this thing has a special feature, that is, it emits small flames and small smoke.
And there is no flame at the muzzle, making it very suitable for use at night.
The most important thing is that this thing is high-quality and cheap. One cannon shell can kill three or four Ming soldiers, and relatively speaking, the attacker's losses are minimal.
Furthermore, the sound is so small that it is almost inaudible from the transmitter ten meters away.
Now this thing is in the hands of the rebel people in Cairo, and the patrols are constantly being attacked by grenade launchers.
The casualties were so great that Li Xiu couldn't tolerate it.
But there is no way. If you want martial law, you have to have troops patrolling the streets. But if you patrol, you have to accept bullets fired from unknown sources, or bombs from grenades.
Li Xiu was originally very angry, but these two days had passed. Li Xiu was surprised to find that his opponent actually had a mortar.
I have a patrol team of ten people, and now there are only three left who are still intact.
According to their description, they walked nine meters apart.
This distance is to prevent a shell from falling and causing serious casualties.
