Merkel was not very familiar with the organization of the Saudi army. He judged that this should be a local tribal armed force, because he was previously told that the troops under the Saudi government were wearing unified military uniforms. The British provided Saudi Arabia with a lot of military supplies to support it in launching the Arab uprising. The members of the House of Lords must have dreamed that the forces they worked hard to build had planned to backfire themselves from the very beginning.

Merkel had no idea that the warriors he saw were Mamluk of the new era, the most elite slave guard armed under the Saudi king. The German sergeant chief carefully and quickly followed the way, withdrew the temporary camp in Hamil Guquan, and brought back the news that an Arab army was approaching. The Germans were lucky enough to get a five-minute warning. There were many things that could be done in the five-minute actual combat, which was enough to make the Germans prepare for all the battle. They used the abandoned trenches in front of the main entrance of the courtyard to lay out a simple line of defense.

The German army had only eight people in total, and they were going to face two hundred Saudi royal guards, which seemed to be a war of huge disparity in strength.

There have been many cases in history where a few elite troops used their weapons and firepower to defeat a large number of enemy attacks. The most famous case occurred in the war between Britain and the Zulu Kingdom. The total British troops in that battle were 104, including wounded and sick and civilians. They relied on the wall of a missionary station to resist the attack of 4,000 Zulu soldiers. Later, this was made into a movie to celebrate the glory of the lobster soldiers.

The situation the German army faces is much more sinister than the group of lobster soldiers. Their opponents are not holding leather shields and spear darts, but modern military rifles. Although the German army is equipped with automatic weapons that the opponent does not have, these qualitative advantages are easily offset by differences in military strength.

Randolph was very sorry that he did not carry a machine gun when he came out. At this time, even if there was only one mg40, the situation of the war would immediately change. Germany was limited by the number of people and could only adopt conventional linear defense tactics. The Germans were glad that the ditch that might have been a trench was not buried by wind and sand.

The eight people carried a total of six mp submachine guns and three rifles, each carrying a pistol with them. This weapon was top-notch at the time. If it occupied favorable terrain, the firepower intensity was enough to suppress a light infantry platoon without machine guns.

The biggest problem with the Germans is that they carry a limited amount of ammunition. They were not originally going to fight, but only brought the most basic portable ammunition, with three magazines per submachine gun and sixty rounds of ammunition per rifle.

However, except for the pilot Lieutenant Krieg, the remaining officers and soldiers all have experience in close combat. They know how to effectively use the weapons in their hands and how to save bullets in battle.

The Germans were solemnly approaching the position, but the Arabs were unaware of it. They swaggered along the desert path and headed towards the destination of the trip.

This unit not only had black slave soldiers, but also twenty Bedouin cavalry, these brave warriors with beautiful beards, rode solid Arab horses and surrounded and guarded a knight in the middle of the team.

The man was wearing a white Arabian robe embroidered with golden lace, a white headscarf, and a red and white striped Turkish belt around his waist, and an Arabic dagger inlaid with blue gems. Judging from the jewelry he wore and carried with him, he should be a noble member of the royal family.

"Abdul!" The noble man called out on his horse.

Then a Bedouin warrior turned his horse's head and leaned forward, respectfully stroking the prince's chest.

"His honorable Your Highness, your loyal servant Abdul is here."

"How far is this place from Hamil Spring?" The highness stroked the beard on his lips and asked in a calm tone.

"Just behind the sand dune, you can see it after walking one or two hundred meters ahead, Your Highness." The personal guard replied respectfully.

"I asked these people to speed up. I heard that the water in Hamil Spring is clear and sweet, and I felt a little thirsty." The noble man gently poked the bodyguard's shoulder with a horse whip.

"As for your order, your noble highness." The guards took the orders, and then the command to move forward quickly began to sound in the team.

"It's still too slow, I'll take a step first." His Highness the prince knocked the waist and abdomen of his beloved horse with his boots. The graceful animal neighed lightly and rushed forward. The Bedouin knights did not dare to let the nobles act alone, and quickly waved the horse whip and chased after him.

ps: Sorry, I just started the computer and the Internet, and today I only have this number of words. The starting point is still at a high altitude of 30,000 feet. Because of the time difference, my brain is a bit slow to react. I will compensate you after the author adjusts.
