Chapter 566

The breakfast was not quite sumptuous, but the chef tried his best.

When the communications officer rushed over, Bai Zhizhan was working hard to eliminate the breakfast made by the chef specifically for him, a piece of oil tea with Yuzhou characteristics.

Li Mingbo stopped the communications consultant.

After taking a look, he was stunned until Bai Zhizhan took the telegram from him.

"Isn't it a mistake?"

"I have received a verification telegram from the Navy Command, and the war report is not wrong." The communications staff member continued very neatly.

Although this feeling of being slapped in the face was very uncomfortable, Li Mingbo did not argue with the correspondent officer.

There is no need to talk about anything else.

The communications consultant was also very sensible and slipped away before Bai Zhizhan spoke.

At this time, Bai Zhizhan had already read the telegram.

In fact, there is only one sentence.

The coalition forces of the Alliance Group landed near Casablanca in the Beixuan area, defeated the local garrison and captured and controlled the crucial port.

To be said, the Rock Colonial Army guarding Casablanca did not resist at all.

A few minutes later, Bai Zhizhan and Li Mingbo returned to the commander's bridge.

Zhou Yongtao returned to the commander's bridge early and found the map.

Then, the Navy Command sent a new message.

The closest Tsuman army to Casablanca is about 300 kilometers away, and there is only one infantry regiment, with a total force of less than 2,000 people.

It was all infantry, only dozens of trucks, and no armored weapons such as tanks.

The implication is that the Tiaoman army cannot launch a counterattack immediately.

Fortunately, the landing alliance forces could not advance east immediately, and could at most reach Tangier, south of the Zhiluo Strait, which had little impact on the fierce battles near the Xifan Canal, and the Tsuman army did not need to send troops westward, at least there was no need for this for the time being.

From a military perspective, the Alliance Alliance landed in the Beixuan area and chose Casablanca in order to avoid the main force of Tsuman.

The purpose I wanted to achieve was to obtain a bridgehead south of the Zhiluo Strait.

Fundamentally, it is actually to strengthen control over this strait that connects the sea of ​​Lu Xin and the ocean, with great military and political values.

In addition, the political significance of this war is more obvious.

Although Bai Zhizhan and others were all soldiers, everyone immediately thought that after successfully landing, the Rock Colonial Government in Beixuan area would be very likely to be shaken, and might be thrown into the arms of the alliance group, at least remain neutral and make a choice after the situation is clear.

The key is that the Locke officers who were exiled to the Kingdom of Bran had already formed a temporary regime called "Free Locke".

As expected, after the Alliance Alliance gained a foothold, the representatives of Liberty Locke would arrive at the front line and shout to the local colonial government.

In this way, the Tiaoman Empire will inevitably strengthen its defense efforts here.

For nothing else, it is necessary to increase military investment to put pressure on the Locke colonial government to prevent the 500,000-strong colonial garrison troops from becoming enemies.

If you really fight, the threat of this 500,000 Rocket army will never be very small.

Even if it is 500,000 infantry soldiers, they need to mobilize at least 100,000 or even 200,000 troops to be suppressed, and a large amount of ammunition and medicine are required.

Obviously, in Beixuan area, the total number of the Tiaoman army is not 200,000, and the most lacking is ammunition and drug resources.

In addition, we must strengthen our control over the Rock State.

Before this, the Tyman army stationed in the Locke Kingdom had less than 500,000, and almost all were infantry units, many of which were reserve forces. In the main occupied areas, the local police were responsible for maintaining social order, and the Tyman occupation forces were only responsible for dealing with underground resistance organizations.

Now, the local police are definitely not reliable, so they have to increase the number of troops garrisons.

In short, for the Tiaoman Empire, the landing of the Alliance forces in the Beixuan area cannot be ignored and must be highly valued.

Then, it will inevitably have an impact on the battle on the Xifan Canal.

If you want to say something, collecting money will have an impact on the Kingdom of Raleigh.

The key is Malta.

If the Alliance coalition's operations in the Beixuan area are progressing smoothly and quickly advance to the Tunisia area, it will be able to provide strong support for the Bran army that is attacking Malta. Relying on the front-line airport in Tunisia, the Bran Royal Navy will be able to withdraw the Special Mixed Fleet.

If you want to say, the Thuman army is still holding onto Malta, relying on the air force in Tunisia.

Because of the threat from the shore-based aviation force, the Royal Bran Navy Special Mixed Fleet has never dared to approach Malta, and the support provided to landing forces is quite limited.

After losing Malta, the Tiaoman army will definitely not be able to defend the Beixuan area.

However, Bai Zhizhan is concerned about why the Alliance Alliance landed in Beixuan area?

Also, after successfully logging in, why should we quickly advance towards Lu Xinhai?

Just rely on ground troops?

This is obviously impossible.

Even if the landing is successful, the ground troops will advance along the coastline and use sea transportation as much as possible to obtain supplies, and they will have to build enough airports along the way.

In this way, the advancement speed cannot be much faster.

Only by obtaining direct support provided by the fleet, especially air cover, can the ground troops advance quickly and be expected to quickly reach Tunisia.

So, where is the fleet of the Alliance Group?

The key is that Casablanca is hundreds of kilometers away from the direct-down fortress, and the direct-down fortress is too narrow to deploy too many combat aircraft. Therefore, during the landing stage, the carrier-based aviation must be provided with air cover, and there must be a special mixed fleet participating in the landing operation.

The special mixed fleet of the Royal Bran Navy is still in Lu Xinhai, and has not gone to Xi Luoyang.

I waited until noon before I received the latest news from the Navy Command.

There is indeed a fleet supporting landing operations, or the special mixed fleet of the Newland Navy.

According to the information provided by the Tyman Empire, there are at least three small aircraft carriers and more than 10 escort aircraft carriers in the northwest coast of Casablanca.

In addition, there may be several small aircraft carriers of the Royal Bran Navy.

Because the landing operation has not ended yet, the fleet is active in Xiluoyang, and has not entered the attack range of Lu Xinhai, nor has it entered the Tiaoman Air Force.

Although the specific situation of the enemy fleet has not been confirmed for the time being, it is mainly because it is discovered that the fleet is a Tyman submarine, and the reconnaissance aircraft of the Tyman Air Force has not arrived yet, but there is reason to believe that the special mixed fleet commanded by Spur has gone there and is still the absolute main force supporting the landing operation.

In Zhou Yongtao's words, if the Newland Federation did not send troops, the Bran Kingdom would not have the courage to land in the Beixuan area.

Obviously, this is also the key to the fact that the Newland fleet did not appear in the Northeast Fanyan Ocean.

However, the information provided by the Navy Command is not very reliable, or has not been confirmed yet.

I waited until evening to receive the exact message.

After losing more than a dozen long-range patrol aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft, the Tiaman Air Force confirmed that there were indeed three small aircraft carriers of the Newland Navy in the enemy fleet.

In addition, there are two fast battleships of the Newland Navy, the "North Carolina" and the "Huazhou".

Until this time, Bai Zhizhan's mood improved a little.

Although he had been in a day, what Bai Zhizhan needed now was not to have supper, but to go to bed. He had not closed his eyes for two consecutive days.

In any case, at least there is no possibility of being sneak attacked by the Newland fleet.
