    A week later, the main Allied force in the center entered the vicinity of Hasakah.

    After stationing in the camp, Wang Geng led several combat officers from the staff department to begin intense map work, showing the latest progress of the Allies and the dynamics of the coalition forces in a timely manner.

    By the time Zhong Yi walked into the war room, the map had basically been drawn.

    I saw three huge red arrows heading northeast along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

    "General seat." Wang Geng stood at attention, saluted Zhong Yi and said, "So far, the Allied forces' three main roads, left, center and right, have been progressing very smoothly, and have encountered almost no decent resistance."

    "This is to be expected." Zhong Yi said calmly, "The Axis forces have only been able to control West Asia for a short period of time, and there is no time to integrate the tribal forces in various regions. It is strange that they can organize a decent low-level resistance."

    Speaking of this meal, Zhong Yi said again: "Where are the Axis Allied Forces? Where are they?"

    "We're here." Wang Geng pointed at the map and said, "Rutbai is still more than three hundred kilometers away from Baghdad. According to the speed of the coalition's advance, there is a high probability that it will arrive in three days."

    "Three days later?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhong Yi's mouth, "Rommel's timing is very accurate."

    "Yes." Wang Geng nodded and said, "As expected, when the Allied armies of the left, center and right meet in Akarastan, the Axis coalition forces will also appear in the western suburbs of Baghdad at the same time."

    After a pause, Wang Geng continued: "It seems that Rommel is actually quite worried that we will change our direction temporarily."

    "An expected result." Zhong Yi said with a smile, "If I were Rommel, I would do the same thing, because with the strength of the Axis Allied Forces, there is actually no guarantee of victory against the Allies."

    "But if the main force of the Allied forces is allowed to move north to Akarastan and then raid Baghdad with a heavy force group, there will be at least a 60-70% chance of capturing Baghdad before the Allied forces cut off the Asia-Africa Railway."

    Wang Geng said: "In other words, Rommel is confident that he can seize Baghdad first and kill the Allies before we cut off the Asia-Africa Railway and kill the Axis Allied Forces?"

    Zhong Yi smiled and said: "At least Rommel thinks so."

    Wang Geng was silent for a moment and then said: "So, does the commander-in-chief think Rommel has a chance?"

    "If I said that Rommel didn't even have a chance, you wouldn't believe it." Zhong Yi said, "But what I want to say is, it's not that Rommel doesn't have a chance, it's that he doesn't have a chance at all!"

    Wang Geng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

    Wang Geng thought Zhong Yi was joking with him.

    ¡­¡­

    At the same time, at the location of the coalition forces in Lutbai.

    Since it was located in the desert and could not find a suitable house, Rommel could only set up his headquarters in a tent.

    At this moment, Rommel was shaving in front of the mirror. Although water in the desert was precious, the orderly still found a large bucket of clean water for Rommel.

    After shaving, I took a shower with cold water.

    Then he put on his shirt and blew in the cool breeze. Rommel suddenly felt refreshed. The intense heat and depression caused by marching in the desert in recent days were relieved a lot.

    Chief of Staff Gauss is very bitter.

    With Chief of Operations Westphal and several operational staff members busy for a long time, he finally presented the latest developments of the Allied and Coalition forces on the map one by one.

    In this way, Rommel can intuitively read the war situation in the entire West Asia through the map.

    Seeing the achievements of Gauss and the others, Rommel nodded happily and said: "General Gauss, you have worked hard."

    "It's not hard work." Gauss stood at attention and said respectfully, "It is our greatest honor to be able to serve your Excellency the General, the Head of State, and the Empire."

    Rommel waved his hand and looked at the map.

    Gauss said: "Your Excellency General, according to the information provided by the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, the three-pronged Allied forces have arrived near Deir ez-Zor, Hasakah and Mosul respectively."

    "Oh, really?" Rommel said with a smile, "So, the Allies should not return south."

    "Yes, the Allied forces will definitely not return south." Gauss said respectfully, "General, you are really good at predicting events. You have calculated all the Allied forces' reactions to the extreme early on."

    After a pause, Gauss added: "Every move made by the Allied Forces is based on your judgment, General."

    "This is also expected."Results.  "Rommel said abruptly, "Whether it is the Allies or our Axis allies, cutting off the opponent's logistics supply line is the most effective means of victory.  "

    "If I were Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces Zhong Yi, I would not choose to fight head-on with the Axis Powers."

    Speaking of this meal, Rommel said again: "But having said that, necessary precautions are still needed."

    "But now, since the Allies have made the most correct choice, we don't have to hold back."

    "Order all armored divisions to speed up their march immediately and reach the western outskirts of Baghdad within three days. All infantry divisions and artillery units are also ordered to speed up their march and must arrive within five days."

    "Yes!" Gauss responded.

    ¡­¡­

    Late at night.

    The Baghdad Airport is brightly lit.

    Since there are radars installed around the airport, it is impossible for the Luftwaffe's bomber group to escape radar detection no matter which direction it comes from.

    Therefore, there is no need to worry about being attacked by German troops.

    ¡°On the runway of Baghdad Airport, transport planes have already started.

    The whistling sound of the propeller churning the air almost overwhelmed all other sounds.

    Usami Taka and An Zhenyuan had to speak very loudly in order to hear each other's voices.

    An Zhenyuan patted Usami Taka on the shoulder and said loudly: "Lao Zuo, you take a step first, I will be there soon."

    "What are you talking about?" Usami Taka shook his shoulders, shook off An Zhenyuan's big hand, and said angrily, "Why should I take the first step? I haven't lived enough yet, and I don't want to die now."

    "Hahaha, okay, I made a mistake." An Zhenyuan laughed when he heard this, "When this battle is over, I'll treat you to a drink."

    "That's pretty much it." Usami Taka threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground, stamped it out, then grabbed the helmet and put it on his head, saying, "Then I'm leaving."

    When I walked outside the door, I saw more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Division, who had already assembled.

    Due to the insufficient number of transport aircraft in the West Asian theater, the three airborne divisions participating in the war could only be delivered one by one. In the first step, Usami Taka's 2nd Airborne Division was dropped on the northern outskirts of Akarastan to block reinforcements from the mainland of Turkey;  The second step was to deploy An Zhenyuan's 1st Airborne Division to the southern outskirts of Akarastan to block reinforcements from Egypt. The final step was to drop the US 82nd Airborne Division to the western suburbs of Akarastan to block reinforcements from the sea.

    PS: Although I am very reluctant to say goodbye, although it is very hasty, I still have to say goodbye to the first part of this book.

    As for the reason, you all know it. I have said it many times before. If you still don¡¯t know, I hope readers of this book can tell each other. See you again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
