Chapter 1003： Allies with no retreat

"Lopez, we can't drag anymore. Dahua's fleet has already appeared in Côte d'Ivoire the day before yesterday. We have at most one day left."

Ceuta, Allied Command, a senior officer came in with intelligence and reported to the Allied Commander Lopez.

Although Western European merchants immediately returned to report after seeing Dahua's fleet.

However, considering their speed and the speed of the UOB Navy, Ace estimates that the UOB Navy will arrive as early as tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Out of prudent consideration, they must prepare for the worst, that is, the Chinese army will arrive tomorrow.

They need to follow this principle to formulate the next battle plan.

"Accurate information?"

Lopez said in surprise, this was several days faster than they had previously estimated.

There is only one day left, which is terrible.

Once they can't take Ceuta on this day, they will fall into the front and back flanking of the Chinese army, and they will be blocked by the sea to retreat and lose their supplies.

"Absolutely accurate. There are several businessmen who reported to us, and two of them are from well-known big families. It is impossible to lie to us."

Ace said.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

One day is too stressful. Even if they start to retreat now, there is no way to withdraw all of them to Europe in one day.

In other words, they actually only have one way, and that is to continue to attack Ceuta.

As for what to do after the capture, this can only be said at that time.

However, it is almost impossible for them to capture Ceuta within a day.

Their attacks had been fierce enough before, but the Dahua defenders in Ceudari just stood firm.

"Commander, we need to retreat. Otherwise, we will stay in Africa forever. Once Dahua's warship arrives, it will definitely block the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean.

Those navies can't count on it at all. At that time, there will be no retreat, no supplies, we will only have a dead end. "

An officer said.

He intentionally or unintentionally ignored the difficulty that the army could not fully withdraw to Europe within a day.

He just thinks that he can withdraw. As for ordinary soldiers, he can withdraw as much as he can.

"No, then our strategy will all fail. We need to pull out all three strongholds of the Chinese in Africa. If we retreat, then the troops in South Africa and Ivory Coast will be meaningless even if they succeed."

Ace said.

He suddenly felt that the strategy formulated by the decision-makers of the Allied forces was too unreliable.

It hasn't been long before the war, and this strategy seems to be close to failure.

He didn't know what to do next.

"Can't withdraw, we must take Ceuta and destroy Ceuta. As for later, we can withdraw to Morocco, or go east to Tunisia, and find a way to return to Rome from the Mediterranean."

Lopez also rejected the retreat proposal.

Others can withdraw, but he can't withdraw.

As the highest commander, if he abandons the strategic goals of the Allied forces and retreats privately, he will spend his next life in prison.

That kind of end is not much better than death in battle.

If you die in battle, you can at least get some nice honors.

"You can't have meaningless arguments, Commander, now immediately order a general attack."

Ace reminded.

Because it was the Union Army, although Lopez was the highest commander, he still needed to discuss some of the previous decisions with several other officers in the army who had real power.

At that time, there will often be countless wrangling.

Even who should go first and how many people can not be dispatched at one time needs to be debated, and the efficiency is extremely low.

This is one of the reasons why they have not been able to capture Ceuta for a few days.

Now, Ace is reminding Lopez that in an emergency, this kind of democracy can no longer be pursued.

If you have to ask for the opinions of others, there may be someone shouting to retreat.

At this moment, if you want to exert all your strength, there is only dictatorship. Those who disobey orders will be severely punished.

When everyone heard Ace's words, they were suddenly dissatisfied.

Although, they also know that there can be no more arguments at this time.

However, they also do not want to lose command of the troops themselves.

"Sir Lopez, order it, and our Holy Rome will obey unconditionally."

The commander of Holy Rome simply stood up at this time and expressed firm support. In this way, at least you will not lose control of your own troops.

Others also dictated the situation and expressed their firm support.

They are also afraid that Lopez will make some crazy moves in order to centralize power at this time.

With everyone's cooperation, Lopez was also relieved. If he really wanted him to kill, he was worried about the consequences.

"Ten hours, whether it is success or failure, we have to leave Ceuta. In other words, we only have ten hours to attack. French troops from the west..."

Lopez began to lay out a specific battle plan.

He gave everyone ten hours, beyond which they might not be able to leave. He didn't dare to gamble on the fate of these seventy to eighty thousand people.

Therefore, he left a way out.

Under the command of the general offensive, the troops that reached the grassroots level immediately caused these European soldiers to scold their mothers.

They didn't know the situation was urgent, they just felt that the officers above didn't take their own lives.

The total offense, or the kind that is not allowed to retreat, is doomed to death and injury.

In the curse, these soldiers reluctantly raised their weapons.

They can't resist, otherwise the people above would never be polite to them. In the past few days, there are not a hundred soldiers killed, but eighty.

Not relying on this harsh military law, they would not be able to adhere to it now.

"fire."

"charge."

The Allies came with a ruthless move, letting the infantry charge along with the artillery fire.

As for the possible accidental injury, they completely ignored it.

As long as it can slightly suppress Dahua's firepower with artillery fire, it will be earned.

The sound of the artillery sounded and the Chinese army also hid in the bunker, leaving only a small number of people in the trenches to observe the enemy's movements.

"Oh, the enemy is crazy, right? He started charging so soon."

A Chinese soldier said that the enemy's charge this time was obviously different from the previous one.

"It seems that the enemy is about to give up his life. Go and inform the people in the air-raid shelter to come out and fight. The enemy is about to make the final attack. Don't hide like a maiden.

An officer shouted, he still has this judgment.

Facing the enemy's reckless general offensive, the Chinese army can no longer think about casualties, and must go all out. Otherwise, if the enemy breaks through the line of defense, the loss will be even greater.

Facing the enemy's desperate style of play, he must be suppressed with the same desperate momentum.
