"Well, it's not good for them not to participate, after all, we still need to act in concert in the Americas, don't they want to add another colony in the Americas? Originally, I thought that Jamaica should be given to them, not to mention that they could not participate in the war against North America under any circumstances, and Spain declared war on North America, and the British did not need any reason to want to fight them. Yang Feng said seriously, of course, His Majesty the Emperor must not think like this in his heart, Spain has developed very smoothly in recent years, which is also very bad, and turmoil is very conducive to their growth.

In fact, not only Spain, but also the Ottoman Empire and Mexico sometimes need to make their way forward a little bumpy, smooth sailing is very bad, and Emperor Yang has thought that he is a little too friendly to these allies over the years, especially an oil tyrant like Hamid II who is a little ambitious and has no shortage of money in his hands, he doesn't want to make a small sa for himself in the Middle East.

After Emperor Yang duly expressed his displeasure and made clear the benefits he would get, Canovas had nothing to hesitate about, and in fact he was only a test there, although there were many people in Spain who regarded him as a dictator, but there were also many who compared him to Bismarck in Spain. And the de facto ruler of Spain, Queen Mother Maria. Christina, because of her Habsburg background, was also inclined to the Central Powers, so the day after the Chinese Army captured Shuangchengzi, Spain officially announced its membership in the Central Powers and declared war on the Allied countries, and then the Spanish Army began to attack Portugal.

At this time, the British army also defeated the blocking German army by more than twice the numerical advantage and invaded Bremen, and about 20,000 German troops and 20,000 militias organized to retreat to the city engaged in fierce street battles with the British army, and the other British army finally hit the outside of Hamburg, and the 240mm field howitzers assigned to them even began to bombard the city of Hamburg.

In the Far East, Ulan-Ude, the commander of the Russian army stationed in the city, Lieutenant General Smirnov, looked at the sky above his head like a fool. More than a hundred large twin-engine bombers, which had never been seen or imagined, were hovering with a dazzling metallic light, swooping down from time to time like golden eagles pounced on their prey. Every dive drops one or several bombs, and these bombs that fall from the sky at high speed with a sharp whistle are even more terrifying than the shells of super-caliber howitzers, which cannot be as accurate as them, and any point of fire capable of fighting, as soon as it is discovered, will immediately be surrounded by a group of bombers in a minute, and it will be blown into a pile of rubble.

He really couldn't imagine how the Chinese could conjure up these huge heavy bombers.

Bombers did appear on the European battlefield, using two or even four engines. You can take up to a ton of bombs, made of wood, canvas, steel pipes, plywood, etc., and the speed is not even as fast as an airship, hang some small bombs of five or ten kilograms, but what are these? The all-metal, heavy bomb as powerful as a 280 cannonball could barely be dropped, even faster than the only ten fighters in his hands, and not just a little faster, compared to which the fighters were as ridiculous as a pack of ducks chasing hounds.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Beijing. How long has it been preparing for this war? He muttered with a wry smile.

It is impossible for a fleet of aircraft of this scale to be built in a day or two, and it is also impossible for pilots to be trained to be able to directly hit a bunker with a bomb at an altitude of several hundred meters. That is to say, at least a year ago, the Chinese had produced this bomber and prepared for the bombing of Ulan-Ude, and at that time the emperor was still providing loans to Russia!

Of course, at this time there was no point in studying the insidious cunning of Emperor Yang, at least for Lieutenant General Smirnov. From the moment the bombers appeared overhead and dropped heavy bombs, he knew that he couldn't hold the city. He had only two infantry divisions and 30,000 men in his hands. There are no tanks, no heavy artillery, although there are a large number of fortresses, but these fortresses are like self-repaired graves in the face of heavy bombs falling from the sky, and the heavy siege artillery of the Chinese has not yet arrived because the railway has not been repaired, once those terrible 280-mm howitzers join the battlefield, their own results will be even more tragic.

"General, Mr. He has asked to see you!" At this time, a staff officer walked up to him and said in a low voice and cautiously, as the supreme commander of the most important hub of Sino-Russian trade, Lieutenant General Smirnov has many Chinese friends, and every year he receives many gifts from these Chinese friends that reflect their friendship, and this Mr. He is the most important one.

Lieutenant General Smirnov hesitated for a moment with a gloomy face, then sighed and looked at the huge chariot group that was gradually becoming clear in the distance and said, "Please ask him to wait for me in the office." ”

Two hours later, Lieutenant General Smirnov, commander of the 73rd Army of the Russian Army and deputy commander of the Transbaikal Military District, led 25,000 Russian troops to surrender to Nie Xianfan, commander of the 1st Armored Division of the Chinese Army, at Ulan-Ude, which had been bombarded for three hours.

Of course, they would not have known that just after the surrender of this Russian army, more than a thousand officers of all ranks, including Lieutenant General Smirnov, received Chinese citizenship granted by Emperor Yang himself and then disappeared into the vast sea of people in China. Their soldiers, like the Russian immigrants sent to concentration camps, were repatriated to Russia through neutral states, and later became the main force of civil unrest in Russia because of the series of injustices they suffered upon their return, and even one of the soldiers became one of the firing team that shot Nikolai.

The capture of Ulan-Ude is actually equivalent to completely closing the door to Trans-Baikal and the Russian Far Eastern Krai, and from then on all the Russian troops in this vast land of more than 10 million square kilometers will become alone, and they will no longer receive any support.

At the same time as the capture of Ulan-Ude, the Seventh Army of the Army, with the 2nd Panzer Division as the vanguard, also left Tianyou and reached Chita in two days, but their opponents were not as good as Lieutenant General Smirnov, and the commander of the Russian Trans-Baikal Military District stationed in Chita refused to surrender, and led a Russian army of one and a half divisions to hold the city.

"Ma, good words can't persuade the damn ghost, Lao Tzu originally wanted to fight side by side with him in New York to give him a chance, since he doesn't appreciate it, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Wang Shizhen, commander of the Seventh Group Army, said with a depressed face, Kondrashenko, the commander of the Russian army in Chita, was the commander of the Russian army during the Battle of New York, and was also the only commander of the Russian army in the Far East.

"Commander, transfer the field heavy artillery brigade and take the water tank cannon to open meat for them." A staff officer beside him said with a smile that because of the smooth railway transportation, the general staff assigned one of the two strategic-level field heavy artillery brigades equipped with 540 giant self-propelled guns to this group army, and this kind of giant mortars with a terrifying caliber were very vividly named a water tank cannon by the soldiers who had seen them, and this brigade had a total of 10 guns.

"That thing is purely an ornament, what's the use of being powerful, it takes more than half a month just to build a position, and you have to pour concrete, don't you see that the Third Army hasn't taken a step forward after taking the Twin Cities until now? It's not that the strongest fortresses like Twin Cities Vladivostok don't need to think about them at all, if we have waited for them to be erected, we would have swept away the entire Trans-Baikal a long time ago, and besides, there is something better, send a telegram to contact Shenyang, asking for the use of bombers to support, and add a sentence, don't use ordinary bombs, all of them should be solidified. Wang Shizhen said with a cruel smile.

After receiving his telegram, First Class General Wang Zhong, commander of the Shenyang Military Region, who was in charge of the Far Eastern Theater, immediately issued an order to the bomber units of the air force under his command to bomb Chita, and all the 200 Thunder heavy bombers under the Shenyang Military Region were loaded with coagulated qiyou bombs specially requested by Wang Shizhen, and then took off from the front-line airfield in Hailar and went straight to Chita.

And at this time, Kondratenko was still waiting with loyalty to the Tsar and the Russian Empire to meet his old friend in Chita, in fact, the number of troops in the hands of the commander of the army group was not as good as Smirnov, although he was the commander of the army group, but the total strength in his hands was only three armies, one in Ulan-Ude, one in Boli, which also needed heavy troops, and the rest were scattered on the long Sino-Russian border from Chita to Boli, and there was only a group army headquarters and an infantry division in Chita, where the headquarters was located. As for the Vladivostok and Twin Cities defenders, they belonged to the command of the Vladivostok Fortress, which was part-time by Alekseev.

With the 20,000 people in his hands now, he will definitely not be able to hold Chita, and he himself knows this very well, but even if he can't hold it, he must show the courage and fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Russian Empire, and he will definitely not surrender like the enemy like a coward like Smirnov.

"Noble whites will never surrender to the yellow race, warriors of the Russian Empire, now is the time to show our courage, it is better to die in battle than to surrender, for the sake of Russia, for the tsar, fight, use your roar to make the Chinese tremble! Turn Chita into a meat grinder that grinds their flesh and blood, and turn your defenses into a steel to stop Huang Huoo! His Excellency the Commander was shaking his fist at his soldiers for the pre-battle mobilization, when suddenly a faint roar of engines came from overhead.

He raised his head in amazement, and saw that in the southeast sky, countless silver warplanes were backing the sunlight, and in the blue sky they were getting bigger and bigger, more and more numerous, and more and more clear. (To be continued......)
