Chapter 89

Wolf king, the Ottomans' honorific title for their most powerful war beast, is covered with cast iron armored cars, a rotating turret equipped with 75mm field guns and 105mm howitzers. In addition, there are countless makqin machine guns and flame throwers. This column of heavy armored monsters with spikes can run through the desert at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, This is already the top level of coal-fired locomotives in this period.

In addition to strong firepower, the armored train also carries dozens of well-equipped Ottoman contingent soldiers, who have flame throwers, light machine guns, shotguns and grenade launchers. These hundred war veterans take reconnaissance vehicles to recover the remaining enemies during the wolf king's operation.

In addition to his own force, the wolf king also has a small partner, a 170mm railway gun code named Samuel from Germany. The death storm produced by this gun can tear up people and bunkers within a radius of tens of meters. Relying on this heavy firepower, it can be said that unless the British are willing to pull over battleships to bomb, the Arabs have no way to solve it.

"Have you figured out what to do with the train?" After leaving the tent, the British officer from Egypt caught up with him. He was not worried about Fisher bragging. Instead, he was worried about Fisher pulling Prince Faisal's men to send them off, so that the British had to face the Ottomans on their own.

"Of course, but maybe I need a little help!" Fisher pulled the British Lieutenant Colonel. "I need light machine guns, K bullets, and 75mm field artillery shells!"

"Why should I help you?"

"Because I'm dead, you don't have any loss, but if you succeed, there will be one more sentence in the battle report under the wise command of a British Lieutenant Colonel! How about a business that makes no loss? "

The lieutenant colonel squirmed his throat a few times, then nodded, "yes, I'll give you everything you need. I just hope you can understand that the direction of the war is not that you can decide the victory of the war by destroying hundreds of Ottoman soldiers!"

"But at least it can speed up the war process!" Fisher slipped a handful of captured Lugar.

"A little care!"

Since Fisher wanted to find the wolf king's trouble, he had done a lot of homework. In the previous month's attack, his goal was to pick out the key points of the wolf king's patrol route. He made more than a dozen attacks and captured hundreds of war prisoners, many of whom were officers and non commissioned officers. Fisher gave them two choices, either to stay naked in the desert for three days, Or say everything you know and go to the prison camp.

Between life and death, Ottoman officers made their own choice.

Through the intelligence collected, Fisher found the weakness of wolf king. This armored train has no radio!

The importance of radio is self-evident in future generations. However, it is still in World War I, and the radio technology is far less advanced and reliable than that of future generations. Therefore, the action of the wolf king is mobilized through flying pigeons. Each time the wolf king is mobilized, three carrier pigeons need to transmit three confirmation codes, and the three commanders are in different strongholds to prevent the possibility of being eaten in one pot. The most important thing is, Communication information is password, that is, Fisher, they need a codebook!

"Where's the codebook? What's the matter with us? " Zara, who has always been interested in bombing the train, is so excited that he can't wait to carry the explosive package directly to the train.

"Task force, there must be a task force for the Ottomans to eliminate the guerrillas!" Fisher put down his pen and looked aside at Ali, who was eating melons.

"What's the matter?" Ali looked at Fisher stupidly. He knew nothing about military affairs. He wanted to sleep lazily, but he was asked to learn something.

"You should have a lot of tribal friends!"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Help me inquire about the movements of the Ottoman contingent. You can use the seized materials. I just want the results!"

"OK, no problem!" Ali nodded. He didn't understand the war, but asking for information was his strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't be responsible for receiving Fisher. As for the cost, the Mauser rifles seized by Fisher were enough to send other Arab tribes!

More than 100 rifles were dropped and soon paid off. A survivor of an Arab tribe who had just been wiped out went directly to the door and said that he didn't want any reward. He just had to follow Fisher for revenge!

Sinai desert

Eight in the morning

An Ottoman contingent has just completed the task of eliminating the guerrillas. The Ottoman soldiers who have been fighting for many days are sleeping quietly in the carriage. They are about to return to the base for a few days of rest. Therefore, their vigilance is greatly reduced and they do not notice that there is a missing section at the rail corner in front of the train.

With a loud noise, the galloping military train finally rushed out of the track, the hooks of the linked carriages were torn apart, and the sections of carriages were like plows and rakes, opening deep trenches in the desert.

"Bang!" Before an Ottoman soldier who struggled to climb out of the carriage got up, there was a blood hole in his chest, and his yellowish military uniform was soon dyed red.

Then came the grand ensemble of various machine guns and rifles, including leenfeld, Ross, Martini Henry, manlixia rifles, Mauser and M95. Hundreds of Bedouin guerrilla soldiers who had been in ambush again raised their weapons, tilted their fire wildly towards those carriages, fired guns for ammunition, pulled bolts and loaded them. This time they came to get the codebook, So you can't leave alive and evidence!

The gunfire lasted ten minutes until the wooden carriage could no longer be broken, and Fisher ordered a ceasefire.

"Keep your eyes wide open. Don't leave a living mouth. Check the battlefield carefully. All the bodies of the dead soldiers are placed here. Don't touch the dead's belongings! Weapons and ammunition are stacked neatly. Team leaders should always pay attention to the number of their team members! " While loudly instructing his new guerrillas, Fisher pulled open a broken carriage at will.

Weapons, ammunition and some medical supplies are all in the carriage. Unlike the European battlefield where all means have been exhausted, the cruelty of the battlefield in the Middle East is far less than that in Europe. At least these Ottoman contingents do not have boxes of poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs.

After carefully searching all the carriages, Fisher found what he wanted in the officer carriage near the team. A small book in a sealed iron box is the codebook of the Ottoman army. With this, fisher can carry out the next plan!
