At this time, the old port of Baghdad was released from the first 300,000 people, and it became a busy port, with supplies, personnel and equipment, and even some construction machinery. Since it has arrived, it is not for a look. First, we must take root. On the land from Bagh to Basra, the Chinese can create a huge urban belt like miracles.

Both Baghdad and Basra can be ports, but there was no need before. One Basra port had enough throughput. However, once the oil in the Middle East was exposed, it occupied the oil reserves of the world, and there were not many ports with amazing throughput.

If China only controls the new port of Baghdad, it may not be able to mine it. After all, a 30-kilometer radius cannot block the eyes of the outside world. However, if there is a vast land from Bagh to Basra and the Persian Gulf, nothing will be a problem. In a specific area, erect the oil wells, define a certain restricted area, secretly exploit it, and then control the port, and transport the oil back. Even in the future, when the Germans truly occupy Baku, it will be more convenient and very simple. You can mix this oil into Baku's production. When Germany can export 50 million tons, mix the same amount, which is completely fine.

At this time, the second batch of Lan Fang's army was moving rapidly in the Indian Ocean and was expected to arrive in Basra within 5 days. The first batch of troops had been resting for more than 7 days and had gradually adapted to the environment of the entire Middle East. Under such circumstances, it was time to attack.

First of all, of course, the special forces were sent out. The first batch of people came, there were 15,000 reconnaissance units and 5,000 real special forces. They would form 10 groups and land behind Baghdad through airships. The Allied forces followed the 3b railway and fought to the Turkish border. Turkey also mobilized heavy troops and was ready for battle.

The Allies did not fight with Turkey. Mark knew very well that the Allies, which had suffered heavy losses at this time, could not bear the ability to fight against Turkey. Although Turkey was weak enough, there was still a Germany behind him, just a Middle East. The distance was too far, and Germany might not pay attention to it, but Turkey was even more important, almost entering the core area of ​​the Allies. Even if Germany was trying to draw soldiers from other fronts, it would intervene.

It is also unacceptable in the strategy of the Allied Powers. Although it is forced to draw troops from other parts of the strategy, it is also extremely important to the strategy of the Allied Powers. However, the 3b railway is more important. Even if the Middle East is combined, it will be cut off. However, rashly rushing into Turkey may cause all previous efforts to be wasted, which is unacceptable.

Therefore, after a little forced Turkey, it retreated, among all the occupied cities. One or two thousand people were retained in each city, but only defended the city, and the rest returned to Baghdad. In Mark's view, 200,000 people were concentrated in Baghdad, using the city of Baghdad to build a line of defense, and then defended here tightly. Even if Germany came to attack, as long as they were strictly guarding, even the Allies provided sufficient logistics supplies. It should be fine.

The desert-responsible army came and the Allies dispatched a transport team. Zheng Shusen was ready to welcome the second batch of troops. He was just a little surprised, but he also did the corresponding treatment. The special forces responsible for blocking the oasis first found a safe area to rest, put these supply convoys over, and then closed the door and beat the dogs.

It was precisely because of the efforts of the special forces and the arrival of Lan Fang's army, the Affiliated Team only knew about it after 20 days. In 20 days, Lan Fang's troop transport ship arrived twice, unloading a army of 700,000 people. A small Basra port, gathered so many people. If Newport had not supported a large number of prefabricated houses and tents, they might have really not been able to live there.

After the second batch of troops arrived, Zheng Shusen left 100,000 people to guard the Basra. Next, Lan Fang's army had to move forward. After some serious thinking, on the original basis, four more teams were sent, each with 100,000 people going toward the four in Baghdad.

The first battle was 35 kilometers away from Basra, which was a train transfer station. It was responsible for the transfer and loading of supplies from Bagh and supplies from China. It was a French team with two divisions here. However, Mark and others continued to draw, leaving only 2,000 Allied defenders.

The cannons roared, and Lan Fang's army came quite suddenly. The 2,000 French team did not react at all. Lan Fang's army was on the same level as the Chinese team. The first wave of attack gave the Allies a warning. In the first wave of artillery fire, their casualties were already half. After one wave of attack, the defenders chose to surrender and won the first battle, and none of them escaped.

Following behind the army was a group of construction teams. They strengthened the city defense as quickly as possible and repaired the railway line as much as possible, striving to restore normal opening between the old and new ports of Basra.

Next, the entire Lanfang Army was unstoppable, and the personnel distributed evenly by the Allied Team became the Warring States Period that was defeated in 2,000, 3,000. In just 7 days, the Lanfang Army fought 11 times, annihilated 18,000 enemies, and achieved a series of victories.

If it was just like this, it was not scary. The most terrifying thing was that Lan Fang marched from multiple directions, especially the airship landing. The special forces and scouts fought against the scattered alliance teams, which was simply unstoppable, and almost occupied the strategic points near Baghdad. The Allied Army was in a long area of ​​150 kilometers and 240 kilometers wide. It looked very large. The Allied Power had a lot of room for maneuver, but with the help of the special forces scattered in the wild, they could not escape.

There was a series of bad news, no one escaped in one place, and if there were too many battles, there were always fish that missed the net, let alone getting closer and closer to Baghdad. Naturally, the news came to where Mark was.

Lan Fang sent troops, and the news shocked Mark. He had considered before that when he came to the Middle East, he might encounter the forces of the Allies, but he was more concerned about Turkey, Austro-Hungary, and even Germany. Lan Fang, a country that had joined the allies, had never cared much about it, but if you really think about it, Lan Fang is really not a simple country.

Starting from the resistance to the Netherlands, a Chinese country successfully completed the redemption, with the help of the Scher fleet, swept across Southeast Asia. Such a country could be underestimated and arrived near Baghdad quietly. When he found out that the other party had bad intentions, it was too late. Almost all the strategic areas around were occupied by Lan Fang. The tens of thousands of troops guarding the surrounding area were wiped out one by one in a few days, leaving only Baghdad.

Mark himself was thinking of defending Baghdad to the death. Now, he simply couldn't leave, which was even more so. He traveled in a large army and carried a lot of supplies. With the reduction of personnel, it was barely enough for 3 months. In their opinion, 3 months was enough to wait for reinforcements and supplies.

Mark didn't know that just 200 kilometers away from him, the army pieced together on the Suez Canal was being besieged by Lan Fang's army.

The 20,000 army can be said to be a regular British army, and the escorts were enough for 500,000 people to use the arms for a month. The convoy was quite large. After receiving the report, Zheng Shusen took the initiative to put them in to prevent them from running back to the Suez Canal, but it did not mean that he would allow these arms to flow into Baghdad. When 600,000 people arrived, it would be no problem to conquer Baghdad and annihilate 200,000 defenders. However, a defender who lacked the necessary supplies and a defender with sufficient troops and food were completely different.

The troops along the way attacked this direction. In the desert, the convoy carrying a large amount of supplies could not run fast. In 10 days, they only walked 60% of the distance, and the remaining 200 kilometers would be a natural barrier that would never be crossed.

20,000 people were surrounded by 50,000 people, including 15,000 special forces and reconnaissance units. Such special forces were very harmful to the convoy. One kilometer away, horses and camels were killed one after another. After the lost animals of the carriage, the entire team was trapped here. Due to the material relationship, the Lan Fang army did not use heavy weapons, but only conventional weapons attacks. However, the special troops of 15,000 people were not decorations. Whether it was sharpshooters or snipers, they could not resist the 20,000 army. After a hard battle, the loss exceeded 40%. The remaining British troops chose to surrender without seeing any hope.

The 20,000-person transport convoy was wiped out, completely cutting off Mark's road to return, enough for 500,000 people to use a month of supplies, and fell into Lan Fang's hands. Although it didn't work much, it was good to trade with Germany. Even if Germany was used to using Chinese goods, it was a good choice for Turkey, Italy and Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although China is already very profitable, the seizure was also at the level of millions of dollars.

The entire Baghdad became a turtle in the jar. There were no reinforcements within the hundreds of kilometers around. The 500,000 troops occupied the strategic points around and began to compress inward. Mark did not dare to defend outside. He urgently reduced his troops and placed about 200,000 people densely around Baghdad. In his opinion, with the help of Baghdad city and the previous lessons of attacking Baghdad, it could withstand the opponent's superior forces. It would be enough for only three months. Even if the news could not be passed, there would be no news for three months. The Allied countries would always respond. Persisting until that time would be a victory. (To be continued.)
