Chapter 2044: Diary

"What happened next fills me with terror; my stomach is churning. God, the Lord will punish us; we are all sinners!"

"Since that day, I have not eaten the food the squad leader gave me. I no longer have the strength to keep fighting. I really want to know, are those Longyan not numb to this kind of warfare?"

"It is the third day. My left leg was hit by a cannonball. The wound is not deep, but... God, this is truly terrible. I will have no Method to fight. Here, lacking medicine and lacking everything, in order to keep the wound from worsening, I have no choice but to choose amputation..."

"That day we ate our fill; the meat broth was delicious..."

……

After receiving this notebook, Dawn took a deep breath and told himself that this war must end quickly.

It cannot go on like this; their soldiers are on the verge of collapse.

He decided to leave the combat command room and head to the front lines to personally oversee the battle.

He must stabilize the situation and open up new supply lines; he cannot let this situation continue to worsen!

"I hope Snake can get reinforcements from Italy soon; we might not be able to hold on for much longer..." Dawn muttered to himself.

As the Commander of the French Colonial Zone, he could not say such things out loud.

If these words were to come out of his mouth, it would be a huge blow to morale.

……

Meanwhile, on the battlefield of the Nile River Basin.

The Longyan Unit led by Jiang Xuan launched another fierce attack.

Before this offensive, Jiang Xuan looked at his soldiers.

These soldiers had different skin colors and appearances, but they all wore Longyan military uniforms.

The Longyan Unit formed in Egypt was not entirely composed of Longyan people; many, many people were actually Egyptian.

"Someone told me that this war we, the Longyan Unit, are fighting is meaningless."

"I told him that in my unit, the majority of the people are Egyptian."

"The French plunder our Longyan people in Australia and bully the Egyptians in Egypt."

"How is this any of our business?"

"We do not bully others, but we cannot let others bully us either!"

"Just now, I learned that for the sake of helping his own tribesmen, the leader of the Wahala tribe, Henry, had his entire family killed at the hands of the French."

"What crime did he commit?"

"He only wanted to take back the place where his ancestors and his tribesmen have lived for thousands of years!"

"He only wanted to drive out the invaders!"

"And for that, he received such retaliation. Tell me, can we accept such injustice!"

"In this battle, not only must we fight, we must win and clear out all these hateful colonialists!"

"Drive them out!"

"Drive them out!" The soldiers' voices shook the heavens!

……

They were high in spirits, swearing to break through the defenses of the French colonialists and take back the land that once belonged to their Egypt.

Because of this or that interest in the fighting, the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the French Unit were simply not on the same level.

Dawn arrived at the battlefield in person and saw the defensive line on the verge of collapse.

Because they possessed the advantage of Geography, their fortifications were set up among the mountains; for the Longyan Unit, this place was easy to defend and hard to attack.

The mountain mass was not a city wall and was difficult to break through.

They occupied the high ground and could attack the Longyan Unit from above.

The weapons Jiang Xuan carried were very advanced; the Longyan Cannon and the like went without saying.

But no matter how strong the artillery fire was, under such geographical conditions, there was no offensive advantage.

Their soldiers had to climb over one cliff and precipice after another to reach the battlefield and launch an attack on the French Unit.

Yet during the march, the French Unit could attack Jiang Xuan's Longyan Unit with extreme ease.

Mountain warfare is not easy to fight, especially when the main generals on both sides have a deep understanding of key factors affecting the war, such as terrain.

Both sides were now playing a game of endurance.

Dawn already saw his defensive line being crushed by the Longyan Unit; a gap had already appeared in the eastern mountain range.

A small number of Longyan Unit troops were passing through there.

That was their important transport channel, and now the Longyan Unit had cut off their transport channel.

Dawn said in a deep voice: "Have the general in charge of transport come to see me; we must re-establish the transport route!"

If this battle is to continue, a new transport route must be established, otherwise, this battle will not last long before they are completely defeated.

Just as Dawn was re-establishing the supply line.

Jiang Xuan's unit snuck up from the other side of the mountain.

They were going to launch an attack on their position.

Mountain warfare is hard to fight and the terrain is complex, but this is also an advantage.

There are many routes on the mountain that look completely impassable, but it is not that there is no Method, so for such places, one only needs to use a very small force to guard them.

And such places are easily overlooked by the general commanding the battle.

Clearly, Dawn's arrival caused that general who was truly commanding the battle to make a common-sense mistake; he withdrew these troops who were originally guarding the defensive line to go and retake their supply line.

Such a choice was simply fatal.

Under the Longyan's powerful intelligence system, Jiang Xuan soon learned that those cliffs that looked difficult to pass no longer had soldiers guarding them.

"Good, this is a great gift Dawn has sent us!"

Jiang Xuan immediately issued an order: "Assemble the assault unit, pass through cliffs three and four quickly, and attack the enemy's destination directly!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, the Dragon Flame Army had already crept up from mountains three and four, and the position of the French troops was right ahead.

Although they did not know which camp Dawn was in, as long as they captured this position, it would greatly reduce the obstacles for their Dragon Flame Army.

This was one of the most important passes for entering the Ethiopian Plateau.

Seeing the French Soldiers ahead who were on guard but not very vigilant because they were in the rear.

The Dragon Flame commander waved his hand lightly, and the troops he had led in a sneak attack crept over like black shadows.

These were all special forces trained by Dragon Flame, specifically tasked with carrying out such missions.

To them, cliffs that were fundamentally impossible to climb over were just like a slightly taller wall.

If it weren't for the fact that those guarding French Soldiers would have caused them great obstruction, they would have crept up long ago.

But now that those soldiers were gone, this gave them a great opportunity to exploit.

"Attack!"

The Dragon Flame general gave the order!

The Dragon Flame Army hidden in the darkness launched an attack rapidly, and the French position came under assault.

And at this time, the regular units of the Dragon Flame Army also launched an assault.

The French troops, encountering attacks from both sides, were left dazed by the intense shelling.
