    The scorching sun once again appeared on the eastern horizon of the African continent. In the long cold night, the barren, dry and cold desert Gobi was immediately steamed up by heat waves under the scorching temperature. The rolling flames and the scalding Nile water vapor blended together up and down.  , and then the fighter planes whizzing by in the sky turned into gusts of wind, mixed with countless gravel and stones, and beat against the strong and sturdy bodies in the desert.  The machines are rumbling, the motors are roaring, and among the flying sand and rocks, huge and heavy mountaineering machines, road rollers, excavators, cranes, bulldozers, gravel machines, water pumps, and air compressors are competing to spit out puffs of suffocating blue smoke.  Speeding back and forth on the desert countryside of Wadi Halfa, the border between Sudan and Egypt.

    Amidst the roaring sound of cannons, naked upper-body yellow bodies, white bodies, and black bodies were like swarms of ants, swarming in the wind and sand, and various languages ????mingled.  Amid the hoarse slogans, the engineers of the Northeast Army, the engineers of the Italian Army, and the local black and Arab laborers were sweating profusely, waving the engineer shovels and shovels in their hands, leveling the ground, pouring cement, pushing sand and transporting rocks.  During the hard work, pairs of gloves were worn out, and hands had calluses and blood blisters; livestock neighed one after another, and thousands of camels, mules and horses also whirred back and forth carrying cement, steel bars and other buildings.  Material.

    Under the dazzling sunshine, waves of silver fighter planes marked with the Tomahawk emblem gleamed through the clouds and fog, arriving at this large military airport closest to Egypt. They would prepare for the Axis forces that were about to attack Egypt.  Provides powerful aerial firepower.

    The balance of victory in the African war has been gradually tilted back towards the Axis alliance.  As the three countries in the Middle East fell under the control of China's Northeastern Army and these three countries also joined the Axis Powers, the British Commonwealth troops fighting in North Africa not only lost precious oil from there, but also fell into siege by the Axis Powers.  ; The Suez Canal, known as the "lifeline of the British Empire", is already within the attack range of the Northeast Army's air force fighter jets stationed on the Arabian Peninsula.  After occupying the three countries in the Middle East, the Northeastern Army adopted the method of "using barbarians to control barbarians" to control the local areas. It also quickly built more than 30 army bases, 6 naval bases, and 14 air force bases in these three countries, with a total of 11 troops stationed there.  A B-class mechanized infantry division and two A-class airborne brigades, a total of 148,000 elite troops, plus more than 300,000 local troops, more than 600 combat aircraft of various types and the newly-built Indian Ocean Arabia Coast Defense Fleet, with absolute armed force  Firmly ensure the Northeast Army's hegemony here.  In the eastern airspace of the Mediterranean and over the Red Sea, the majestic Tomahawk emblem was overwhelming. Merchant ships and transport ships flying the Union Jack one after another were sunk by "Eagle Strike" guided bombs and "Lance" oxygen torpedoes.  Under the sea; not only that, with the fierce attacks of the German Air Force and the efforts of the Italian Navy, the crucial sea control in the Mediterranean is gradually being lost from the hands of the British Royal Navy, and a large amount of baggage materials from Italy and Germany are gradually beginning to arrive.  It was transported to the German and Italian Afrika Korps in North Africa through the newly opened maritime supply line; the prospects of war between the British Commonwealth Army and the "Free French" Army on the African continent have become increasingly bleak.

    On the Eastern battlefield of the world war, the development of the Sino-Japanese battlefield makes every Chinese even more excited and excited.  In the East China Theater, more than 500,000 Kuomintang and Communist coalition forces surrounded Shanghai. Under the command of General Li Zongren, elite troops such as the 74th Army, the 5th Army, the 18th Group Army, and the Jewish Independence Brigade of the Northeast Army passed by  After several weeks of bloody fighting, more than 40,000 Japanese troops were successfully annihilated. The soldiers of all units became more courageous and morale high. They had successfully advanced into Shanghai and began to engage in bloody street battles with the Japanese troops, house by house and street by street. Shanghai  The liberation of China was just around the corner; and in the South China Theater, more than 400,000 Nationalist troops commanded by General Xue Yue and various units of the New Fourth Army, with the air support of hundreds of Northeastern Army fighter planes, launched one after another large-scale counterattacks against the Japanese troops in South China.  During the war, while annihilating a large number of Japanese troops, they successfully recovered more than ten large cities in Guangdong Province such as Qingyuan, Yunfu, Heyuan, and Jiangmen, squeezing the Japanese troops in South China into the Pearl River Delta area centered on Guangzhou City, and from Hong Kong SAR and Macau.  Northeastern Army bombers taking off from the Special Administrative Region also frequently launched bombing operations against the Japanese troops in Guangzhou.  The death knell of the Japanese invaders has sounded, and the countdown to their doom has begun.

    The Japanese Empire, which foolishly launched a war of aggression against China, was self-destructive. At this time, Japan's situation was extremely bleak and miserable. The army's hundreds of thousands of elite troops were trapped in the quagmire of China with no way to escape.  The Chinese army was devoured and eliminated one by one; its major cities were turned into a sea of ????fire under the bombardment of aerial bombs, white phosphorus incendiary bombs, and napalm bombs dropped by the Northeast Army's "Flying Leopard" strategic bombers. A large number of Japanese cities  Residents flocked to?Mussolini in Rome knew that Chu Qiming was making a fuss about his telegram, which suddenly made him the laughing stock of the Chinese and German generals in the Afrika Korps, and he was furious.  Mussolini was furious: As a commander, what's wrong with me being considerate and caring for the soldiers?  This young and energetic Chinese general is using chicken feathers as arrows. Are those three Italian divisions his or mine?  An angry Mussolini even wanted to take back the three Italian infantry divisions, but gave up because of the start of the North African counterattack and the negative impact this move would have on China and Italy.  However, according to Count Ciano's later recollections, Mussolini actually admired Chu Qiming very much, and even wanted to marry his secret lover Clara Bettasi's sister Miriam Bettasi to him, just because  The "Black Tea Incident" caused such great loss to his face that he couldn't step down, so he let it go.

    On the morning of March 10, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.  In the city of Wadi Halfa, battle ax flags were flying quietly, plain clothes and white coats were overwhelming, and the atmosphere was solemn. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northeast Army stood with their arms wrapped in white gauze and their hands hanging down.  Before the expedition, NNE specially set up a memorial site in the city and held a solemn sacrificial ceremony to pay homage to the more than 7,200 loyal heroes of the Northeast Army who died on the African battlefield in the past four months.  There are hundreds of tall wooden monuments erected densely in the center of the memorial site. Each wooden monument is deeply engraved with the names of dozens of Northeastern Army soldiers who died in the foreign desert and their military badges.  Commander-in-chief Lieutenant General Chu Qiming personally presided over the ceremony and said:

    "Ah! All the martyrs of the Northeast China Army's North African Expeditionary Force! You are so ambitious that you were ordered to go on an expedition. You left your parents and your wives and children, crossed thousands of miles of ocean, entered a barren foreign land, endured miasma, poisonous plagues, and the violent sands of the sun; you climbed over mountains and crossed mountains.  Mountains, overcoming thorns and thorns, fighting against the same enemy, fighting bravely, killing countless enemies, achieving brilliant achievements, promoting the power of the country, and inspiring the hearts of the people. However, we cherish the Chinese athletes and bury their bodies in the desert and Gobi; the warriors of East Asia shed their blood on the wasteland and barbaric mountains; ah, we go on and on.  , just for the rise of China; fighting bloody battles, hoping for the rejuvenation of the motherland. Martyrs, no one knows your names, but your great achievements will last forever!"

    There was total silence around the spiritual site, except for the wind and the sound of sand.

    Chu Qiming¡¯s thoughts were rolling and his passion could not be suppressed. He shouted with bright eyes: ¡°Go forward!¡±

    "Forward!" Amidst the roar like thunder from the blue and the roar of the angry sea, the entire Northeast Army marched towards Egypt with sonorous and neat steps.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
