Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 5: comer
Merkel is not very familiar with the establishment of the Saudi army. He judged that this should be a local tribal armed force, because he was told before that the army under the Saudi government was wearing uniform uniforms. The British provided Saudi Arabia with a lot of military supplies to support it in launching the Arab Uprising. Members of the House of Lords must have never dreamed that the forces they worked so hard to support had planned to counteract themselves from the beginning.
Merkel had no idea that the warriors he saw were the Mamluks of the new era, the most elite slave guards under the command of the Saudi king. The German sergeant followed the path carefully and quickly and withdrew to the temporary camp of Hamir Guquan, bringing back news that an Arab army was approaching. The Germans were lucky enough to receive a five-minute warning. There are many things that can be done in five minutes in actual combat, enough to prepare the Germans for all pre-combat preparations. They used the abandoned trench in front of the courtyard to lay out a simple line of defense.
There are only eight people in the German army. They will face two hundred Saudi royal guards. It seems that this is a war of disparity in strength.
In history, there have been many battles in which a few elite troops used weapons and firepower to defeat a large number of enemy attacks. The most famous battle occurred in the war between Britain and the Zulu Kingdom. The strength of the troops is 104, including the wounded and sick and civilians. They rely on the wall of a mission station to withstand the attack of 4,000 Zulu soldiers. This was later made into a movie to celebrate the glory of the lobster soldiers.
The situation facing the German army is much more sinister than the group of lobster soldiers. Their opponents are not holding leather shields and spears, but modern military-standard rifles, although the German army is equipped with what the opponent does not have. Automatic weapons, but these qualitative advantages can easily be offset by differences in strength.
Randolph regrets that he did not carry a machine gun this time. Even if there is only one MG40 at this time, the situation of the war will immediately change. Due to restrictions on the number of people, the Germans can only adopt conventional line defensive tactics. The Germans are fortunate that the trench, which could have been a trench, was not buried by the wind and sand.
Eight people carried a total of six MP submachine guns and three rifles, and each of them also carried a pistol. This weapon was considered top-notch at the time. If it occupies favorable terrain, this kind of firepower intensity At close range enough to suppress a light infantry platoon without machine guns.
The biggest problem for the Germans is that they carry a limited amount of ammunition. They didn't come out to fight in the first place. They only brought the most basic portable ammunition, three magazines for each submachine gun, and sixty rounds for each rifle.
However, apart from the pilot, Lieutenant Krieger, the rest of the officers and soldiers have close combat experience. They know how to effectively use the weapons in their hands and how to save bullets in battle.
The Germans here entered the position and waited seriously, but the Arabs didn't know about it. They swaggered along the desert path towards the destination of this trip.
There are not only black slave soldiers in this force, but also twenty Bedouin cavalry. These brave warriors with a beautiful beard, riding solid Arabian horses, surround and guard the middle of the team. Knight.
This person is wearing a white Arab robe embroidered with golden lace, a white headscarf, a red and white striped Turkish belt around his waist, and an Arab dagger inlaid with blue gemstones. In terms of accessories, this should be a distinguished royal family member.
"Abdul!" the nobleman called on the horse.
Immediately, a Bedouin warrior turned his horse's head and leaned forward and respectfully stroked his chest to the prince.
"Your Highness~IndoMTL.com~Your loyal servant Abdul is here."
"How far is it from here to Hamill Spring." The Highness stroked the beard on his lips, and asked indifferently.
"It's behind that sand dune, and you can see it by walking one or two hundred meters ahead, my lord." The personal guard replied respectfully.
"Tell these people to speed up. I heard that the water in Hamill Springs is clear and sweet, and I feel a little thirsty." The nobleman gently stabs the bodyguard's shoulder with a riding whip.
"Yes, my honorable lord." The guard took his orders, stroking his chest, and then the group began to sound the command to move forward.
"It's still too slow. I'll take one step first." His Royal Highness knocked the beloved horse's waist with the heel of his boots. The beautiful animal hissed lightly, spreading its legs and rushing forward, Bedouin knight We didn't dare to let the nobleman act alone, and hurriedly waved their whip to catch up.
