Chapter 782 Guards Division
"There are enemies on the coast, but there are not many of them. We can attack by force!"
With a round of artillery fire from the East African Navy, a gap was blasted on the northern coastline of Maputo.
"Start logging in."
Completely different from the landing mode of the Schwal troops, the Guards Division swaggered and stormed the coastline with the cooperation of the navy. This was the best expression of its strength.
For this landing, the Navy and the Guards Division prepared a large number of ships. Hundreds of small boats of various sizes 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 stop gave up resistance, gave up the entire coastline, and fled to the rear. The officers and soldiers of the Guards Division safely landed on the soil of Mozambique.
The coalition forces had already discovered the scene of East African troops dispatching in northern Mozambique, but now the coalition forces did not have many troops at their disposal, and they did not know where the coalition forces would land, so Mozambique's actions were doomed to be futile from the beginning.
With the landing of the Guards Division completed, the main navy fleet did not leave and return to East Africa. Instead, it continued southward towards Maputo Bay, preparing to send another wave of "surprises" to Maputo City.
The Guards Division quickly cleared the battlefield and built a defense line, preparing to take root here. This scene would 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 handled by the Guards Division's own subordinate naval department or the Ministry of National Defense Navy.
"This place is less than 30 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 guts to take the initiative to attack out of the city now." Guards Division Cristiano, commander of the 1st Brigade, said.
"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 were already waves that could not A few enemies have been involved in the Indian Ocean, and they are probably feeding the fish by now," the staff officer said coldly.
The counselor's joke made Cristiano break out in a cold sweat. This guy's words were really shocking, but Cristiano, who has experienced many battles, had to say that his words were right. He had seen this kind of scene too many times, so he had to admit that he was right. What he said was the truth, but he said it in the most casual and 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 such risks and confront the coalition forces."
The military in East Africa has developed a good habit of quickly cleaning the battlefield. The temperature in East Africa is not too high, but the 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 the coalition forces are mixed, so not every unit can carry out their tasks resolutely, especially the lazy Indians, who often cause trouble for their own people in order to save trouble. They threw the bodies directly into the river, thus saving the history and time of digging holes.
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 a large demand for medicines.
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 medicinal materials, East Africa, although not as rich in varieties of Chinese medicinal materials as the Far Eastern Empire, has a large scale of cultivation. Especially in a state of war, it is looking for "cheap" high-quality medicines to make Chinese medicinal materials more widely available.
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 for thousands of years, so there are always various ways to deal with the sanitary environment during wars. , 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. The smell makes them feel nauseous. After all, good medicine is bitter, and traditional Chinese medicine Even acts as a sedative.
The enemy on the opposite side, contrary to East Africa, uses a large amount 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 the 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 are likely to run out of ammunition. Huge risk of food shortage.
Therefore, the Guards Division successfully landed, and the final link between East Africa and Cape Town was arranged. At this time, only the northwest corner of the entire Cape Town was temporarily in contact with the coalition forces, and the northwest corner was also at risk of being cut off by the Guards Division and the Western East African Army.
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.
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.
East Africa has a short development period, the external crisis is not too serious, and it has not encountered any 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, a group of dazzling "military talents" will definitely emerge in East Africa. However, while occupying the overall advantage, the generals of the East African National Defense Force are basically Ernst felt very satisfied that he could complete the tasks of the general staff step by step without making any major mistakes.
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 is 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.
