The news of Alamein's defeat put Mustafa under great pressure.
Just look at the map and you will know that it may not take long for the Allied forces on the Western Front to rush over.
If he has not been able to defeat Ismailia's Third Marine Division by that time, he will really have no way to go and no way to get to the ground.
As for the situation on the southern front, Mustafa could no longer care.
He gave Ngefamus strict orders, telling him to defend Damanhur.
After receiving Mustafa's order, Engelfamous was on the verge of tears.
Damanhur is located in the center of the Nile Delta, surrounded by plains and is not dangerous at all.
After seeing the powerful firepower of the National Defense Forces, he did not think that an earthen city like Damanhur could be defended.
But the punishments within the Ottoman Empire were very horrific, and he did not dare to disobey orders.
The saddest thing is that because of the relationship between religion and ethnicity, he refused to surrender even if he wanted to.
If the National Defense Forces handed him over to the rebels in North Africa, he would probably be eaten alive.
Unable to fight again and again, unable to escape, unable to surrender, Engelfamus finally experienced the despair of a prison.
Three days later, the Ninth Regiment pursued them to the gates of Damanhur.
This time Lu Baoxing took on the posture and attitude of the leader and forced all rebel armies to attack the city.
The Ninth Regiment provided only artillery support.
In the previous Battle of Alamein, the Ninth Regiment fought alone. Since everyone is an ally, we still need to rely on the empire to help us build the country. How can we just watch the good show?
Although the rebels were reluctant, they had to follow his orders and began to push towards Damanhur with a sea of people.
Among them, Ahmed is the most active.
After all, this is Egypt, and it will be his territory in the future. He has a stronger willingness to fight than anyone else.
In the end, it was the Egyptian army that was the first to rush into the city, and also clashed with the Algerian and Libyan troops who entered the city later.
Because the military discipline of the two rebel armies was really unflattering, they started burning, killing and looting after entering the city. Ahmed was so angry that he ran to Lu Baoxing and complained endlessly.
Lu Baoxing took the opportunity to attack and punished the two rebels, completing his plan to scare the monkeys.
Damanhur was defeated as expected. Engelfamus fought to the end and died from random swords. His head was taken away by the rebels to ask for credit.
Asyut didn't hold on either.
With only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, they had no advantage against the 10,000-strong army of the Third Marine Division.
Chang Ying did not even take command personally, but handed it over to the generals below.
After capturing Asyut, there was no longer any obstacle to the front of the National Defense Forces, and they advanced rapidly along the Nile River.
The Egyptians were a huge help.
They organized countless ships to carry the weapons, equipment and logistics supplies of the National Defense Forces along the way, effectively ensuring Chang Ying's advancement speed.
But the key to breaking the situation lies with Ismailia.
Whether we can completely eliminate the Ottomans in North Africa, cut off one hand of the Ottoman Empire, and complete control of the Sinai Peninsula depends on the battle situation here.
In the eyes of the Allies, Shu Chengshan had done a great job as long as he defended Ismailia and waited for other groups of troops to outflank him.
But Shu Chengshan never thought about defense.
"Why defend? This place is as flat as a mirror. If we defend alone, we will definitely not be able to stop the Ottomans. Tell all the troops that I will defeat the enemy head-on."
Shu Chengshan is extremely confident and of course confident.
He has more than 20,000 officers and soldiers at hand, and they are all equipped with all weapons. Why can't he fight in the field with the Ottomans?
Even if Mustafa's troops are ten times his, so what?
He was like this, and the generals below were even more gearing up.
Whether we can complete control of the Middle East in the future depends on the post-war period.
After all, the Middle East underwent tremendous changes after the war, with the structure overturned and various new forces emerging on the stage.
As for whether these new forces will be submissive on the surface but rebel behind the scenes, it depends on the combat effectiveness displayed by the National Defense Forces.
If the National Defense Force is only very strong, I am afraid that within five years, these new forces will become restless.
But if the National Defense Forces are hopelessly powerful, then these new forces will only be busy fighting each other and will never dare to defy the will of the empire.
As long as the empire does not infringe on their interests and does not seek to eliminate them, they will certainly not seek death.
This is the genius of empire.
Zuo Menggeng has warned everyone not to interfere in the internal affairs of these countries and regions unless absolutely necessary.
Top-notch political wisdom must, of course, be learned and used well.
The Third Marine Division set up a rigorous array on the Great Plains, completely unafraid of the overwhelming and boundless Ottoman army.
Mustafa sat on a white camel and looked at the sophisticated weapons in the hands of the National Defense Forces, knowing that this battle would be difficult.
But I have to fight.
Otherwise, they will have no way home and no support at home.
The Ottomans began to attack.
The hoofs of horses crush the sand and stones, the camels raise dust, and the desolate horns still retain the aftertaste of the Ottomans' most glorious period.
Unfortunately, they forgot that their opponents were the Tang people who had driven their ancestors away from their homeland and wandered.
At that time, the Turks were far more powerful than they are now. Under the pressure, they looked forward to their own glory.
However, all the pride turned into ashes in front of the glorious martial virtues of the Tang Dynasty.
Full of tears, they embarked on the arduous journey westward, carrying their cattle, sheep and tents.
God still favors them.
Just when they thought their journey to the west would be doomed, they suddenly discovered that there was no one in the entire west who could fight.
As outsiders, they swept across Central Asia and West Asia. Persia, Cathay, the Eastern Roman Empire, Egypt, etc., regimes with splendid civilizations all fell into their slaves.
They established a huge empire whose territory even exceeded that of the Tang Dynasty, and they also monopolized trade between the East and the West.
Although a lot of territory has been lost through continuous prodigality, it still cannot be underestimated.
Such a large empire must experience an unforgettable defeat before it can exhaust all its energy.
That's it now.
Although the Mercedes-Benz Ottomans tried their best, they obviously couldn't move faster than the rain of shells.
Brilliant fireworks bloomed on the ground, which was art shaped by Ottoman flesh and blood.
Under art, there are countless innocent souls.
No matter which direction the Ottomans launched their attack, no matter what tactics they adopted, the iron walls created by the Third Marine Division would cause them to suffer a bloody blow.
Egypt Quan Zhan, who was following the Third Marine Division, wrote a diary in horror.
[The empire from the far east used the artifact given by God to turn the most terrifying Ottomans into black cherry. This is a warning to everyone that they must not go against the empire, otherwise the Ottomans will be an example. 】
