The Axis merchant ships were bombed during the day, and the planes and submarines of the Chinese army replenished the mines at night, and the Axis lost more than 30 merchant ships in a few days, which shocked the Axis high-brass. With such a large-scale laying of mines, and our own side cannot find them, ninety percent of the materials that our side transports by sea cannot reach their destinations, and no country can afford such losses.

The Axis powers did not have a super transport aircraft like the Behemoth 3, and the airship force was doing its best to transport the Storm Ocean route, even if some airships could be dispatched, it would be difficult to provide the needs of the 4.5 million troops, and it would also affect the overall number of supplies provided by the Boston Empire. The troops led by De Gaulle soon had a shortage of materials, which made De Gaulle extremely annoyed, so he called the logistics department directly and scolded him, but there was no way to be annoyed, and the logistics supplies could not keep up, so he could only slow down the pace of the attack.

Gao Hong wanted to make them short of supplies, and the Chinese Air Force stationed on the southern road soon increased its attack, and bombers specialized in attacking the logistics bases of the Axis forces, which made their supplies even more stretched. In response, the Axis air forces also took to the skies, and every day the two sides engaged in fierce exchanges of fire in various airspace.

The Axis powers were short of supplies in the Istanbul Peninsula, and the planes had to rely on airfields on the western continent for fuel and ammunition replenishment, which undoubtedly increased the sortie distance of the aircraft, reduced the attendance rate, and greatly increased the combat intensity of the pilots. The planes of the Chinese Air Force are supplied at the field airfields on the front line, and the combat distance is much smaller, and the time spent in the air has been extended accordingly. Coupled with the large number of anti-aircraft artillery and missiles on the ground, the casualties of the Axis air force began to continue to increase, and they gradually lost control of their own skies.

In addition to air strikes, Gao Hong also mobilized all the artillery units that could be mobilized to carry out a frantic artillery bombardment on the Axis positions, and the Axis artillery also made a resolute counterattack. The Chinese Empire had artillery radar vehicles that could calculate ballistics, which made their shelling more accurate, and the Chinese Empire's artillery was arranged in strong fortifications, which made the Axis artillery quite a loss.

The largest heavy artillery of the Axis powers was the 203 mm caliber heavy artillery, which was quite powerful, and it was always the killer weapon of the Axis artillery when fighting against the Allies, but they were unlucky to encounter the artillery of the Chinese Empire.

One of the Storm Bear 2 series self-propelled guns of the Chinese Empire is a suppressive howitzer with a caliber of 240 mm, which is not only more powerful and more powerful, but also has a higher firing rate than its opponent because the self-propelled gun is equipped with an automatic loader.

With the help of gun-aiming radar, this kind of artillery, which comprehensively suppressed the opponent in terms of performance, with a higher hit rate, specialized in eliminating all kinds of heavy artillery of the Axis artillery, and in the end, the Axis had to hide all the heavy artillery so as not to be depleted.

Without the threat of the opponent's heavy artillery, the NATO artillery did not hesitate to tilt a large number of shells on the enemy's positions, and the dense shells fell one after another, causing huge losses to the opponent. At this time, de Gaulle knew that he had entered a trap, but now the regret is over, in the face of the coastline covered with mines, de Gaulle knew very well that retreating now is suicide, and he can only hold his ground.

In order to replenish de Gaulle's supplies, the Axis Bloc did not affect the route from the New World to the Western Continent at the same time, and at the same time they forcibly requisitioned all the civil airliners from various airlines throughout the Western Continent, but this time they were deflated. The Istanbul Peninsula is surrounded on three sides by the middle battlefield of Gao De, the southern battlefield of Gao Hong, and the northern battlefield of the southern subcontinent by Cai Tingyuan, and the fighters of the Chinese Air Force in three directions often patrol this airspace, and once they see airships and civil aircraft, they rush up.

Civil aircraft are slow, and they are all old models produced by the Chinese Empire, so they are naturally easy to shoot down, but it is still very easy to deal with airships as long as they have special weapons. In order to deal with airships, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force are equipped with white phosphorus bullets, which will burn violently as long as they come into contact with the air, and can quickly ignite the hydrogen gas in the airship's airbags. In order to save costs, Boston's airships are all powered by hydrogen, so a large number of airships are easily shot down and burned by such bullets.

The airship was bulky and slow, and it was very vulnerable to attack, even if it was escorted by fighters, but Marshal de Gaulle's army, which accounted for more than seventy percent of the entire Nantes army, could not be left unsaved. The Boston Air Force could only send a large number of fighters to escort the convoy, while enduring huge casualties to resupply the troops on the Istanbul Peninsula, so that the Axis Air Force was even more inferior in the battle for air supremacy on the Istanbul Peninsula. Despite the good situation, Gao Hong was not willing to sit back and wait for de Gaulle's defeat, and after doing enough preliminary work, he decided to get started.

In the middle of the night on May 21, on the long defensive line of the two sides of the confrontation on the Iranian Peninsula, the Chinese army and the Iranian army jointly operated and began to use small infantry formations to launch infiltration attacks on the Axis army's defense line from various positions. The infiltration attacks of the small formations of the Chinese army have been systematically trained, and their tactical thinking is very mature, while the army of the Islamic Empire has been handed over by the Chinese army, and it is naturally not a problem to cooperate with each other in combat.

The multi-point infiltration caused the Axis countries to be attacked to varying degrees in various positions on the whole front, and the Axis troops who were not good at night battles suffered a lot of losses, and in the dark night, the frightened Axis troops did not know how many enemies had come, so they could only hold their positions strictly on the one hand, block the dark space in front of the positions with dense firepower, and ask for help from their superiors on the other. For a time, the Axis powers were in a hurry, and Marshal de Gaulle had to make the reserves everywhere exhausted to fight fires, but he did not notice that the reserves in his hands were rapidly decreasing.

After nearly three hours of infiltration operations, Gao Hong secretly calculated the results of the battle and the situation reported by various troops, and he felt that the other party's reserves had almost been dispatched. Just when the opponent's forces were completely contained, Gao Hong's real killing move started.

Two heavily armored armies, in cooperation with four lightly armed corps and four mechanized corps, launched a surprise attack from Chankel and Aken, supported by four air force night bomber wings, towards the opposite Axis positions. Losing air cover in the dark, the Axis forces could only defend their skies with anti-aircraft guns in vain, but on the ground, their anti-tank weapons could not compete with the heavily armored Grizzly 3 vehicles on the opposite side.

The two NATO Allied forces concentrated their superior forces, led by a large number of tanks, like a sharp knife cutting through butter, and quickly broke through the impenetrable lines of the Axis armies. The chariot units in front opened the gap, and the armored vehicles and self-propelled guns behind immediately followed, and the infantry desperately widened the gap to prevent the Axis side from having a chance to regain its position.

Thanks to the efforts of NATO allies, the two gaps are getting bigger and bigger, and the Axis forces that have lost their positional support can only retreat again and again, and those M4 tanks that rush up are not at all the opponents of NATO's allied anti-tank weapons. In the face of a wide variety of NATO anti-tank weapons, the once powerful Axis tanks are as fragile as tissue paper. After losing more than 600 tanks, the Axis forces finally stopped their counterattack and could only order their troops to retreat slowly, by which time more than 30,000 Axis soldiers had been surrounded by NATO assault forces.

After dawn, Marshal de Gaulle, who knew the situation, found that he had no reserves in his hands, and he immediately ordered the air force to intercept it, and all the planes of the Chinese air force, which had been prepared, also took to the air to prepare to support the offensive of the ground forces, and the two sides fought an encounter in the air.

For this operation, Gao Hong mobilized all the air forces, while de Gaulle was improvised, so naturally he could not concentrate the air force planes scattered along the entire defense line, so in some areas, the Chinese army occupied a numerical advantage.

The Chinese Air Force is subordinate to the Wehrmacht, and at this time they still use the Golden Eagle 4B fighter, and in the Axis army of the other side, due to the tense domestic war situation in the Boston Empire, the new aircraft did not continue to be transported to the Western Continent, so only one-third of their air force is equipped with F86 fighters, and the latest F104 fighter is not a single one.

The performance of the aircraft on both sides was comparable, but the Axis air pilots had suffered too many losses in a series of previous battles, and they were replaced by young men who had just left the aviation school.

The new Axis pilots were simply unable to compare with the battle-hardened pilots of the Chinese Air Force in terms of air combat skills, so a one-sided situation soon appeared in the air battle.

Relying on the local superiority in the number of planes and the quality of personnel, the Chinese Air Force's Golden Eagle 4B fighters flew up and down, shooting down one Axis aircraft after another.

After only half an hour, the Axis air force collapsed, and after losing more than 400 aircraft, they had to flee in a hurry, giving up air supremacy. Although the Chinese Air Force also shot down more than a hundred aircraft, most of the pilots survived because the Chinese Air Force aircraft had well-performing ejection seats, and the ground in the air combat area was its own control zone, so there was not much loss of personnel.

Axis pilots were not so lucky, because the Boston Empire developed jet planes in too short a time, although they also developed the necessary ejection seats for jet aircraft, but these new equipment was only equipped with the latest F104 fighters, which were not available on the Western Continent, and the pilots of F86 fighters could only rely on the traditional way, climbing out of the cockpit and then opening the parachute.
