Ugsul, the 8th Division of the Uprising Army has built a simple fortification on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the French.
Inside the headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Hutier said to the sand table with a baton: "According to the intelligence reported by the scouts, the enemy stopped moving within thirty miles.
Obviously, this is what we have discovered. The enemy's vigilance is very high, and the previously prepared ambush plan is cancelled immediately. "
The French have been operating in Egypt for a long time, and there are naturally a lot of celebrities that have been cultivated. The news that the eighth division appeared in Ugsur cannot be kept secret.
After a big defeat, the French army has now turned into a startled chicken. Any turbulence will cause their vigilance, it is impossible to ambush them.
Faginham complained: "Who knows what the stupid people behind are eating, actually missed this rare opportunity."
The ambush plan itself is based on the premise of having chasing soldiers later. Only when chased by the enemy, French talents have no time to think, and will rush into the ambush area in a panic.
Regrettably, the insurgents acted slowly, and by the time they responded, the French had already run tens of kilometers away.
Step by step, step by step. The speed of the march itself, the uprising army of garbage, after being distanced, naturally cannot catch up with the French who are eager to escape.
After the French army found that something was wrong, they could still camp, which is enough to show that the rear chasing soldiers did not put much pressure on them.
Boteolek said a fair word: "This is normal. The bombing of the Aswan Dam not only caused heavy damage to the French army, but also suffered heavy losses from the rebel army.
When such a thing happens, the uprising army will surely be panic-stricken, and the contradictions among the high-level leaders will intensify.
Being able to gather troops in such a short time and catch up, it is estimated that Lieutenant General Gerrett will not waste much time. "
Hutil nodded his head and directly introduced the topic to combat: "From the current situation, the situation is still beneficial to us.
No matter how slow they move, but there are chasing soldiers, they can put pressure on the French.
In a sense, it is also a good thing not to directly engage with the French.
If there was a fight, the weak nature of the uprising army was exposed, and the French might have counterattacked.
The enemy is not coming, we are waiting here. Time is on our side.
If Adolf does not want to be hit by us back and forth, he must rush from here within five days.
Now we have seized all the main traffic routes and established a simple pay-off, but these are not enough.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the eighth division is at most equivalent to a French second-line infantry regiment. Even if we have so many advantages, it is still not difficult to defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield.
Next is the time to test what everyone has learned. It is necessary to adapt flexibly according to the situation on the battlefield before it is possible to leave the enemy. "
Obviously, for the first time against the French head-on, Hutier was not easy.
The optimist Major Potiorec smiled and said: "Come on, Lieutenant Colonel. We can't afford the main force of the French army. We can't deal with a group of remnants.
If the scouts are right, more than half of the French troops do not have weapons. They ca n’t fight with us with fire sticks!
It is really not possible. We can also destroy roads and bridges, delay their marching speed, and give the main force of the rebel army time. "
Lieutenant Colonel Hutier rolled his eyes: "Major Botiorec, I hope your performance on the battlefield is also so optimistic.
As for the destruction of roads and bridges, there is no need to consider. If it were destroyed, the French would detour.
From Esna across the Sahara desert into the valley province, the narrowest part is only more than 100 kilometers, as long as you pay a certain price, it is not impossible. "
Speaking of this, Hutier responded in an instant, and he finally understood what he had overlooked.
Then there is no more, and it is impossible to divide and intercept. With the pitiful fighting power of the 8th Division, the division of troops is to give people a head.
Fort Stehausen: "This is the last choice. The French army is not prepared for the march in the desert. The loss to be blindly traversing the Sahara desert is definitely inevitable.
Only when it is determined that the gap cannot be opened from us, French talents will venture to march in the desert. "
After hesitating for a while, Hutier made a decision: "The interception will be carried out first, and once the French are found in the desert, they will immediately carry out the plan of drifting.
I don't care about the city. The young men and women in the surrounding towns and tribes must be recruited into the army, and then seize the time to advance along the Nile River.
Try to enter the delta before the French return. Leave a ruin to the French, let them ... "
...
A crackling gunshot sounded, which kicked off the battle. Against the background of the absence of artillery, it was like setting off firecrackers.
Compared with the spirit of the past, Governor Adolf, holding a telescope at this moment, looked particularly haggard, as if he were twenty years old.
"Governor, it's too dangerous here, or ..."
Before the guards finished talking, Adolf interrupted: "It doesn't matter, if God wants to summon me in advance, that's a good thing."
Although not in the country, Adolf also knows that many people now wish to put him down.
It is conceivable that his return will not be good after returning home. As a soldier, it is better to die in battle than to be tried in a military court.
After a pause, Adolf asked, "Colonel Marklo, where are they?"
"Calculated from the time, it is almost crossing the Sahara desert." The guard answered
When marching in the desert, there are too many materials to prepare, and if there is not enough preparation, it is to die, and Adolf will naturally be unable to get together in a while.
The supplies left by the whole army are not enough, but letting the French soldiers leave first can still be done. As for the Egyptian soldiers, they are not worth much, and it does n’t matter how much they lose.
During the heyday, the rebellious army could easily tear the blockade of the Eighth Division, but now it is not.
After the flood baptism, the French army that had escaped lost all its heavy weapons, and more than two-thirds of the soldiers lost their rifles.
This can't be blamed on them. Falling into the water makes it difficult to protect yourself. Weapons have become a burden for escape, so naturally they have to be thrown away.
Soldiers holding weapons have few bullets in their hands. Although some weapons and ammunition were levied in the cities along the way, this was still a very poor salary.
With less than ten bullets per capita, one shot is less.
With a group of defeated soldiers, in the case of lack of guns and medicines, the enemy's defense line was torn open in front, and Governor Adolf was not crazy.
War always requires sacrifice. At this critical moment, Adolf showed a decisive side. He took the Egyptian soldiers to stay and attracted the eyes of the enemy, covering the withdrawal of the French soldiers.
Of course, the battle still has to be fought. If you don't work hard, how can you ignore the enemy?
The rebel army on the opposite side found that the main force of the French army ran away, regardless of going straight to Cairo, Cairo with empty strength may not be able to hold it.
After the fall of Cairo, the situation of France in Egypt was completely eroded. As Governor of Egypt, Adolf still has a sense of responsibility.
The reason for staying here is to hold down the rebel army and to gain precious time for the French army that detoured back to Cairo.
Hearing this news, Adolf was relieved. Pretending to be a pretender would also consume ammunition. Now that the battle is going on, many soldiers have one more bayonet than a fire stick.
Once the weapons and ammunition are depleted, the play will wear out. At that time, they were desperately unable to do so, leaving only two options: running and being a captive.
Camels, kettles, these essential tools for desert march, have been taken away by the French army who left in front of them, and they are difficult to run.
Just before preparing to put down the telescope, the scene where Adolf was most worried appeared, and the enemy launched a counterattack.
"Oops, the enemy discovered our reality. The order passed, and the troops were ordered to move eastward and converge on Gussel!"
This is not a good way to go, not only through the desert, it is better than nothing prepared, run to the desert to die.
...
The Wuhe people are the Wuhe people. After launching the counterattack, the eighth division soon became chaotic.
Seeing the enemy fleeing, the Uprising soldier Chaya chased him, and regardless of the orders given by the rear commander, he acted exactly as he wanted.
Hutil stomped his feet so angrily that he didn't order an attack from the beginning to the end, and all his men were killed.
Major Stewarthausen, who first launched a counterattack, is now in a daze. Obviously he only ordered a tentative counterattack, and suddenly it became a full counterattack.
Fortunately, the enemy is also messed up, or else the enemy will seize the opportunity and give it back, he will become a laughing stock in the Austrian army.
Not only they, but the Austrian officers who commanded the battle, were now caught in self-doubt.
who am I?
Where am i
What next?
...
The comedy victory had a huge impact on Hutier and others.
Many people have deep doubts about their military command capabilities, and they no longer have the arrogance that has just come out of sight.
In the evening, the soldiers of the rebel army chased back to the camp one after another.
One of the best, with several human heads hanging around his waist, proudly shuttled around the camp as if to show off their bravery.
Soldiers who had no gains chose to bow their heads to avoid evasion, as if they saw no one.
Seeing a scene of barbarism, everyone in the headquarters was not very pretty.
Older Hutier still needs to be more knowledgeable and calmly said: "Don't be angry, these people with heads hanging around their waists should all be of tribe origin.
It is their tradition to hang the enemy's head on their body and prove their bravery.
After spending a long time in Africa, you will get used to it all. The most savage is the cannibal tribe. If you are fortunate enough to see that scene, you will feel that this is nothing today.
However, these were all things from earlier years, and these dangerous elements are no longer in Austrian Africa. Perhaps in the colonies of Britain, France and Portugal, there may still exist. "
Hutier, who seemed calm, was actually hearsay. Even if he came a few years earlier than these people, he did not catch up with the colonial movement.
The first person to slow down was Faginham. He saw a sigh and said slowly, "It's a barbaric world, but this may be a good thing for our next task.
It's a pity that the main force of the French army was slipped away. To realize that their ammunition shortage is so serious, we launched an attack in advance. "
