Beginning in late February, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, with a total strength of more than 6.5 million, poured into the Allied control area from east to west along a front of more than 1,000 kilometers like a monstrous wave. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The 6.5 million troops are a fixed number, that is, the regular army. When the strength of the country is insufficient and human resources are exhausted. These strengths will remain the same, but the actual strength will be smaller and smaller. Because it is very difficult to replenish the battle damage on the front line. Just like the Third Reich in modern time and space history, in the later stages of the war, due to the decline of national strength and the depletion of human resources, they directly led to a shortage of troops on the front line, which led to a great rout. In the later period, there were only four or five soldiers in an infantry squad.

And this kind of problem is not a problem at all for the Ming army in this era. Not to mention the mainland, there are hundreds of millions of human resources in the overseas colonies of the Ming Dynasty alone. The only chance for these natives who have no future at birth is to join the Ming army to be cannon fodder, except for their excellent looks and figure.

Coupled with the huge supply of human resources in the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of human resources for the Ming army at all. The Ming Army Reserve Force Command has long had tens of millions of reserve troops, and they can be sent to the front line at any time to supplement the losses of the front-line regular strength through the extremely strong transportation capacity of the Ming army.

Relatively speaking, the Russian army, which has already begun to suffer from human resources, does not have such capabilities. Having lost most of its territory, Russia now began to frantically recruit troops from all over the country, both in the cities and in the countryside, in order to replenish the lost troops as much as possible and to build new ones.

Previously, conscription was from the age of eighteen to forty. And now the Russian Tsar, who was cornered, ordered to change the age to fourteen and fifty-five. In other words, the old man and the children will also be forcibly conscripted into battle.

The long war and the hard life have dealt a great blow to the Russians, who are already poor and hard. Most of the Russians of this era were serfs with almost no status, wealth, and rights. These people have long known that to go to the front is to die. Soldiers who can't even be issued with a rifle, and can only go to the battlefield empty-handed to prepare to pick up weapons for battle, what morale can you expect from them?

When the Ming army's massive spring offensive began, thousands of Russian troops who had been forcibly recruited were rushed into the Ming army's steel torrent like cattle, under the bayonets and machine guns of the overseers.

After the completion of the purge and integration of opposition forces on all sides. Beginning in 1942, the Ming Empire was finally able to fully exert its powerful industrial production capacity. There is no longer any such thing as capitalists controlling production and technology for profit, so everything is produced according to the requirements of the army. And the army requirements have always been very simple, that is, a little more, a little more!

Daming's production capacity began to gradually climb to the peak, and in last year, Daming produced more than 100,000 tanks and armored vehicles of various types. This figure is already more than the combined production capacity of the armored forces of all allied countries. In this year, Daming produced more than 11 million vehicles of various models. Although most of them are ordinary family cars, millions of transport vehicles are still produced.

If nothing else, 1.5 million jeeps alone would be enough to kill the total production of cars of all models in all countries except the United States. Of all the countries that participated in the war, only the Ming army achieved truly mechanized warfare at this time. The Americans, although they also have strong production capacity, have not yet completed full-scale mechanization because the burden is so great.

On one side were most of the conscripts who were unarmed, and their bare hands did not even have a decent military uniform. On one side is a professional army of full-scale mechanization, officers and men all armed to the ass, with airplanes above their heads, tanks and armored vehicles under their feet, and artillery cars behind them. When such two armies collide together, the result can be imagined.

The last of the Russians' efforts ultimately failed. Their massive spring counteroffensive from south of St. Petersburg to Ukraine and other places smashed their heads and bled in the face of the steel torrent of the Ming army. The tragic losses even led several Russian front-line commanders to commit suicide because they could not withstand the enormous pressure.

On March 5, 1943 alone, the troops of the Sixth Panzer Army under the Central Army Group of the Ming Army used artillery and machine guns, aircraft bombardment, and armored troops to crush them outside Novgorod, an important southern town in St. Petersburg, killing and wounding more than 100,000 Russian officers and soldiers!

The Russian army's old-fashioned and stubborn use of crowd charge tactics forced waves of officers and soldiers to flock to the Ming army's solid frontal position. However, they were unable to provide air cover and artillery support, nor were they accompanied by armoured troops, or even heavy machine gun cover. This mode of attack is nothing in front of the Ming army, which has powerful automated weapons.

In the fierce battle of the whole day, the count of Tsarist Russia, one of the few capable generals in the Russian army, Andrei. The three armies of the St. Petersburg Garrison Front, commanded by Army General Yeremenko, were almost completely disabled. Seeing the hordes of soldiers disappear into the smoke and flames, Admiral Yeremenko gave the order to retreat at night and sent a telegram to St. Petersburg before shooting himself.

And in this day's fighting, the casualties of the Ming army were even only four figures. How can the Russian army, which is mostly bare-handed, destroy its own opponents? Do you bite with your fists or with your teeth?

Early the next morning, I looked at the corpses of the elderly and children who were abandoned all over the ground, even wearing civilian clothes. The commander of the Ninth Panzer Corps of the Ming Army, He Wenzhao, who was promoted to army general because of his exploits in the Battle of Moscow, just shook his head, and then left the prisoners of war to clean up the brutal battlefield, and the torrent of the Ming army poured into the important city of Novgorod without stopping.

The battles that took place on the outskirts of Novgorod were just a microcosm. In order to resist the spring offensive of the Ming army, Tsarist Russia, which was already desperate, frantically launched a sea of people attack and counterattack again and again, regardless of the huge consumption of the country, trying to block the offensive of the Ming army. But the final madness of the Russians had no effect other than to bring them an astronomical figure of casualties.

In other words, there is still an effect. That is, the Russians, who could no longer survive, broke out in large-scale revolts everywhere. Not against the Ming as an occupying army, but against the rule of the nobility and the tsar.

There was nothing left to produce in Russia at this time. Almost all of the prime-age labor force was pulled into the war, and the rest of the population simply could not rely on manpower to produce fully without large animal power and mechanized farming tools. In addition, because of the rapid assault of the Ming army, the Russian high-level had to resist desperately, and the ubiquitous desperate greed completely ruined everything.

The American aid, which was the last breath of Russia's lifeblood, was basically divided up among the nobles, and was not distributed to the poor who were already starving to death.

In this case, if the poor people at the bottom of Russia can still selflessly contribute to Tsarist Russia, then this Tsar is definitely a god. When the poor Russians everywhere had exhausted their last bit of food, and the American aid supplies needed to save their lives were not available at all. Under the double torment of despair and hunger, it is not surprising that there is a surge of resistance everywhere.

Countless Russian paupers gathered, brandishing all kinds of farm tools and even sticks in their hands, and rushed to the manors and cities of the aristocracy. They killed all the nobles and their servants they met. Feast on the delicate, fair-skinned aristocratic women on a grand bed covered in silk and velvet quilts. They set fire to the homes of the nobles and robbed them of everything.

The local army was ordered to suppress it, but many of the troops were locals, and many of their own family members joined the riot. As for the army itself, it is already in a desperate situation of not having enough to eat and being coerced to death by the officers. The most important thing is that the repeated defeats of the Russian army have dealt a great blow to the army's faith and confidence. As a result, many armies began to defect and join the ranks of the riots. They killed officers and nobles everywhere and robbed everything they could. Feast on cigars from Cuba and canned meat from the United States, locked up by the officers.

This sudden uprising, which swept through the area ruled by Tsarist Russia at the moment, was like the last straw that crushed the camel that had already carried a thousand burdens. The Tsarist Empire, which had long been in ruins, collapsed in a great insurrection that swept through the country in a very short time.

Civilians and militaries everywhere have largely abandoned the country that has left them with great disappointment. Many chose to surrender to the Ming army, which was rushing in quickly. There are also many people who are not willing to be lonely and have ambitions in their hearts who have begun to embark on the road of grasping power.

The response of the Ming army was simple, according to Zhang Cheng's order, those civilians and troops of Tsarist Russia who took the initiative to defect to the Ming army could be treated as colonial natives. And those who are trying to reap the benefits of this chaos that are difficult to describe in words, whether it is Tsarist Russia or the Ming Dynasty, have responded in one way, and that is bullets.

In a war at this level at this moment, those careerists have no chance to stand out. This era is because of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, because of the greed of the Ming Dynasty, and because of the desire of the Ming Dynasty for the whole world. They don't let go of any benefits, and they don't prop up any forces for the sake of so-called balance or strategy and other messes.

For Da Ming, who is strong to the bone, they don't need any conspiracy at all, and they don't need to support any forces. The Ming Dynasty itself was the largest landlord and the main target of attack in all aspects, and they only believed in the great strength in their hands.

With great strength in his hands, any conspiracy and trickery will melt away like spring and snow. The Ming don't need any allies, they just need obedient lackeys. (To be continued.) )
