Chapter 782 Guards Division
“There are enemy people on the coast, but they are not many in number. We can attack by force!”
With a round of artillery strikes by the East African Navy, Maputo was suddenly attacked A gap was blown in the northern coastline.
"Start the landing."
Completely different from the landing mode of the Schwarz forces, the Guards Division swaggeringly attacked the coastline with the cooperation of the navy. This is the best manifestation of its strength.
For this landing, the Navy and the Guards Division prepared a large number of ships. Hundreds of small boats, large and small, appeared on the sea. The Guards Division mounted machine guns on the bows and fired at "suspected" coalition soldiers on the beach.
The tongues of fire greedily devoured the lives of the coalition soldiers. Soon, with the cooperation of the East African navy and army, the coalition forces that came to block gave up resistance, gave up the entire coastline, and fled toward the rear. The officers and soldiers of the Guards Division were safe. Landed in Mozambique.
The coalition forces had already discovered the scene of East African troops dispatching in northern Mozambique. However, the coalition forces now have not many troops at their disposal, and they do not know where the coalition forces will disembark, so Mozambique’s behavior was doomed from the beginning. A futile effort.
With the completion of the landing of the Guards Division, the main navy fleet did not leave and return to East Africa. Instead, it continued southward toward Maputo Bay, preparing to send another wave of "surprises" to Maputo City.
The Guards Division quickly cleared the battlefield, and at the same time built a defense line, preparing to take root here. This scene will only make Schwalr feel envious.
Schwal's troops were too few, so he could only flee in all directions behind the coalition forces. Fortunately, there were no troops behind the coalition forces, and there were material supply lines that could be taken advantage of, so Schwal's life was relatively good now.
But compared to the Guards Division, it is much inferior. After landing, the Guards Division directly takes root on the spot and builds positions without having to hide in Tibet. The logistics is provided by the Guards Division's own subordinate naval department or the National Defense Department. The Navy will do it.
“This place is less than thirty kilometers away from Maputo. I think the enemy forces in Maputo should also be aware of the fighting taking place here, but I don’t know if they have the courage to leave the city now. Attack." said Cristiano, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Guards Division.
“What they should be nervous about now is our navy’s new round of attack, rather than coming here to confront us tit for tat. So our current task is to quickly build the position and clean up the corpses left by the enemy. There have been waves that swept many enemies into the Indian Ocean just now, and they are probably feeding the fish now," the staff officer said coldly.
The staff officer’s joke made Cristiano break into a cold sweat. This guy’s words were really shocking, but Cristiano, who had experienced many battles, had to say that his words were right. He had seen this kind of scene many times. , you must admit that what he said is the truth, but he said it in the most ordinary tone.
"All in all, we need to disinfect this place carefully. The most terrifying thing in Africa is the plague caused by war. I don't want our soldiers to take this risk and confront the coalition forces."
East African Army I have developed a good habit of cleaning the battlefield quickly. The temperature in East Africa is not too high, but warm weather is also the most likely to become a breeding ground for viruses and mosquitoes.
If it were not too late to find enough fuel, the enemies would probably be cremated by the East African army by now. This is the optimal solution.
Compared with East Africa, the coalition forces also have similar operations. The only pity is that there is a mixed bag within the coalition forces, so not every unit can perform tasks resolutely, especially the lazy Indians, who often give themselves When people cause trouble, they just throw the corpse into the river to save trouble, thus saving the history and time of digging a hole.
As a result, the water source was contaminated, which often caused various unexpected illnesses within the coalition forces, and this also brought great trouble to East Africa. Originally, due to the war, there were many casualties, and there was no need for medicines. The demand is large. It is even more difficult for the East African army to fight against an army like the coalition army that carries a large number of patients. This may allow the enemy's disease to be transmitted to its own camp. Therefore, in order to reduce this situation, various traditional Chinese medicines are often used on the East African positions.
As a major producer of Chinese herbal medicines, East Africa is not as rich in Chinese herbal medicine varieties as the Far Eastern Empire, but its cultivation scale is not small. Especially in a state of war, it is looking for "cheap" high-quality medicines to make Chinese herbal medicines more widely popularized.
It is said to have the effect of improving the body's immunity, but no effective data feedback has been obtained. These are the experiences of European and Far Eastern empires. The Eurasian continent has continued a thousand-year war, so there are always various responses. Methods of sanitation in war, and East Africa is a country that is very good at summarizing.
Not to mention whether this method is really effective, at least the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine can dilute the tension of East African soldiers about the war, and even become a "nightmare" for many soldiers, who will feel nauseous when they smell it. , after all, good medicine tastes bitter, and Chinese medicine even acts as a tranquilizer.
Contrary to East Africa, the enemy on the opposite side uses a large number of chemicals with "unproven effects", or simply uses drugs such as opium to anesthetize the nerves.
As the war continued, the enemy also experienced shortages of supplies, such as cigarettes and liquor, which became scarce. East Africa was pretty good in this regard. Although some areas were too remote to deliver, With the rear production, the machines are running at full capacity and the output is increased, which can still meet most of the needs of the troops.
The greatest advantage of East Africa lies in fighting close to homeland, especially for troops like the Guards Division. This landing operation was completed with logistical support.
However, Schwal's kind of lone troops do not have this kind of treatment. All supplies need to be obtained from the enemy, including weapons and ammunition. If East Africa does not quickly open up the war situation around Cape Town, then Schwal's troops will It is very possible to face the huge risk of running out of ammunition and food.
So the Guards Division successfully landed, and the final link to Cape Town in East Africa was in place. At this time, only the northwest corner of Cape Town was temporarily in contact with the coalition forces, and the northwest corner was also occupied by the Guards Division. Risks of Western East African Army Cutoff.
This has become an unchangeable reality, unless a "miracle" occurs in Cape Town, but it is difficult for people who can create such a military miracle to appear in the coalition forces.
Because the British army and the East African army, which are the main forces of the coalition, actually follow the same path, relying on systematic combat to win. It is difficult for such an army to have any "particularly outstanding" military talents.
This has to mention the German army. The same is true for the German army in army construction. However, based on the performance of the German army in previous lives, a large number of military geniuses have emerged. This is the strength of the German army.
However, East Africa has a short development time, the external crisis is not too serious, and it has not encountered too thrilling wars, so it is difficult for a person to "turn the tide" to emerge.
This also illustrates the balance of the East African army to a certain extent. If there is no such balance, then East Africa will definitely emerge with a group of dazzling "military talents", but in the case of occupying the overall advantage , the generals of the East African Defense Force basically do not make major mistakes and can complete the tasks of the General Staff step by step, which already makes Ernst very satisfied.
This is also an advantage of the East African army's high cultural level. The East African Army was born out of the Hechingen Military Academy. It has focused on military literacy training from the beginning, so it was more calm than the enemy during the war.
Of course, this is also related to East Africa expanding its territory inland and constantly replenishing combat experience. Before the war with the British-led coalition, East Africa experienced an overall change from weak to strong.
