As soon as Denikin looked up, he saw dozens of large airships slowly flying in the distant sky, which was not a good thing, everyone knew that these behemoths with a bomb load of more than five tons were synonymous with terror, and any victory in the face of the hellfire they sowed could be instantly wiped out.

"Prepare machine gun air defense." His Excellency the division commander immediately ordered, and then on the two hundred and forty chariots that were lining up in four columns on the open plain, heading towards the blazing battlefield ahead, a large caliber machine gun raised its head, and as for the accompanying infantrymen, they quickly jumped out of the chariots and moved away from these fellows as fast as they could.

The target of the airship must be the combat vehicle, and it will not care about their little miscellaneous fish, but the airship doesn't care, those fighters accompanying the airship will not miss it, and then dozens of fighters pounced, and the Russian infantry who were fleeing were instantly beaten all over the field.

Denikin was not interested in them, and in order to show his bravery, the guy proudly continued to show the turret, and then pointed his saber into the sky and shouted: "Shoot! ”

The signal soldier next to him immediately became a machine gunner, the 12.7 mm machine gun spewed flames, with tracer bullets shot into the sky, at the same time all the anti-aircraft machine guns in the entire tank cluster opened fire at the same time, a red line of fire in the sky intertwined into a dense network of fire, a German fighter that broke into the range was immediately exploded in the air, and even the airship that was ready to drop the altitude to drop the bomb was hurriedly re-raised, although at this time the German airship has been generally replaced with a mixture of hydrogen and helium, but it is not good to take more bullets.

However, these anti-aircraft machine guns can protect at most 1,500 meters below, and no matter how high they are, they can't do anything, and soon the airships that have risen to a safe height will begin to drop bombs, and one by one the solidified qiyou bullets are falling from the sky with a whistling whistle, like a demon's cruel smile smashed into the middle of the driving chariot, and the machine gunners who were still shooting in the air were frightened one by one when they saw the hell demon fire explode, and they quickly got into the chariot and closed the hatch, and one of the chariots was directly hit by a coagulation qiyou bullet as if it were against the sky, The whole thing turned into a ball of flames. The flames of the explosion even splashed on one of the chariots behind.

Denikin immediately realized that his dense queue march had undoubtedly greatly increased the accuracy of the airship bombing.

"Spread out, quickly order to disperse, don't care about the formation, spread out as much as possible!" He hurriedly ordered, and the loyal signal soldiers next to him immediately raised the flag, and the commanders who were still brave enough to expose their heads to the turret hurriedly commanded their chariots to turn to the periphery, and those who had already hid in the chariots at this time must not be visible, and some of them followed the chariots in front of them. Some continued on their original routes, and in the midst of this chaos, the airships overhead began to bombard on a large scale.

The coagulation qiyou bullets fell from the sky in a dense roar, and the entire ground instantly turned into a sea of fire, and those chariots that ran wildly rushed left and right like a group of burning rats in the sea of fire, and soon the high temperature and lack of oxygen made many chariots lie down, fortunately, these chariots are diesel engines, and have not yet been baked into lighters, but even so, dozens of chariots were quickly swallowed by the flames. Although the fire can't burn the members inside, the feeling of roasting meat is not as good as burning to death, and even some who can't stand it have already come out of it to change the way of death.

In the face of an air strike, every qiē is a floating cloud.

Denikin, whose hair was burned by flames. I wanted to cry without tears, lying on the turret of the chariot that had begun to get hot, and watched as my miracle team began to turn to ashes.

Fortunately, at this time, his reinforcements arrived, and hundreds of Russian fighters appeared, so that the German airships that were bombed were busy and evaded. At the same time, the escort fighters rushed forward to meet the battle, and looking at the air battle that began overhead, Denikin finally breathed a sigh of relief. found a gap where the fire was weakest and hurriedly rushed out of the fire.

At this time, the movable chariots under his command also drove out one after another, and the last count of the number, there were less than one hundred and fifty of his more than two hundred and forty chariots, and the members were all staring at the sea of fire that they had just fled in horror, it was obvious that they had been frightened, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to muster up the courage to participate in the next battle at this time, and it was difficult for their current strength to continue the initial glory, after all, after the initial helplessness, the Germans had begun to study ways to stop them, At least two hundred tanks were being withdrawn from their attached divisions and heading this way.

However, this is no longer of great importance to the General Staff of the Russian Army, Denikin and his armored division have completed their historical mission, at least two armies of the Russian elite followed behind them to control the breakthrough, and with the continuous influx of follow-up Russian troops, this breakthrough is still expanding rapidly. The German defensive line at Zhytomyr had practically collapsed, and the only thing Marshal Hazler and his soldiers could do was to retreat, otherwise the Russian troops in their rear would reap their lives like a wielding scythe, and how far they needed to retreat would depend on the battle that followed.

The retreat of the German army means that all the armies of the Central Powers must retreat on the entire battlefield in Ukraine, and there are still a full eight Austro-Hungarian armies south of Zhytomyr, and there are two German armies and two Romanian armies of Field Marshal Gorz further south, once the northern front is torn apart, in the face of the millions of Russian troops going south, he will also have to give up the siege of Odessa, which has lasted for more than a year, shrink the defensive line and withdraw to Bessarabia, and the advantage that the Allied group has gained since 1906 will be wiped out.

But the trouble of the Germans is not only here, just as the Russian army broke through on the Ukrainian front with armored clusters, and on the distant French battlefield, their allies also launched a major counteroffensive, of course, there will be no armored groups here, but the French have prepared better weapons.

During this time, the French frugalized and searched the bottom of the box, plus begged grandpa to tell grandma and even sent French beauties to Yuan's attendants, and finally bought about fifty tons of shasa forest shells from China, but the Alpine front was no longer needed, with the three British armies all joining the Italian battlefield, the Allies had no time to take care of France, so this time it was all used on the battlefield of the Marne, and they also knew the significance of this battle, so it can be said that the future of France was pinned on this major counteroffensive.

The goal of the French counteroffensive was simple: to retake Verdun, to cut off the entire German-controlled area from Belgium to the north of Paris from Germany, and then to re-hold the German-French border, and to attack the British on the Western Front until the German army in the whole of France was wiped out or driven to Belgium.

In fact, Britain and France on the Western Front did not have much goal, and they were exhausted by now, taking France as an example, at most to maintain the current establishment, it will be difficult to find enough recruits to replenish the future war losses, and now their conscription age has been reduced to seventeen years old, that is to say, the current more than two million French troops, even if not one less one, is also a very good thing to kill two and make up for one.

Although the situation of Britain is better than theirs, but not much better, in order to cobble together the two armies to support the Italians, they have already scavenged the domestic military resources, and those British cabinet members behind the scenes have long scolded this maddening ally to a bloody head, if it were not for Italy's participation in the war, they would still be somewhat relieved now, since Italy joined the Entente, even the sky of London has been much darker.

The counteroffensive of these two is containment, and the real hope is on the Eastern Front, of course, to be exact, the real hope is in Yang Feng, the war in Europe is just to show strength to the distant emperor, to lure him to bet on his side, and Britain and France have received information that China is reducing the supply of materials to Germany, especially the Swedish company Bofors, which has stopped continuing to sell mechanical parts to Germany on the grounds of closing the military industry, of course, these mechanical parts are certainly not installed on the pumping machine, In fact, the Germans could simply add a few more to assemble it into a heavy artillery.

This was a very happy sign, although it had little practical effect, because they had already given the Germans enough reserves to produce at full capacity, but the significance of the release was very important, and together with the huge loan from the People's Bank to Russia, it was clear that Emperor Yang was still inclined to the Entente. After all, the war is fought by strength, and the huge population of Russia is the guarantee of the victory of the Entente, and if China wants to enter the war, it must obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, so the easiest way is to join the victor's side when the victory is decided, and investing in the Entente is the wisest choice, and this great counteroffensive is nothing more than a large advertisement that prompts Emperor Yang to make up his mind, an advertisement that shows the strength of the Entente.

In this way, with the expectation of victory, the French began the attack first, and on the Saint-Mielle front, the roar of countless cannons kicked off the counteroffensive, and the artillery preparation went on for four hours, and the madness of the German soldiers hiding in the trenches was almost stupid. After the shelling, the next round of air bombs came to the scene, and the poisonous mist of mustard gas quickly enveloped the German positions, and those poor German soldiers hurriedly put on gas masks and at the same time put on polyethylene protective clothing, which had become very widespread among the German army thanks to the continuous supply of oil from Romania and the German plastic industry.

This is also the main reason why the DU air bomb is becoming more and more difficult to use, not only the German army is equipped with these things, it can be said that the vast majority of countries on the battlefield have perfect protective equipment, can make their own own manufacturing, can not make their own purchase from China, this business alone has fattened countless Chinese plastic factories.
