Chapter 703: Fierce Confrontation

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Let's take a look at it again, now Ruijun is quite measured in the country's mobilization order, and it will not damage the national strength, and such a war is very helpful to improve national cohesion and increase investment in heavy industry, which is very beneficial to post-war economic development." When this ship is completed and put into use, we will turn our attention to Wangxiangxing, and then I will send troops. ”

"Isn't that going to take two years? It's been too long. Tobul, who was next to him, asked.

Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "No, as long as the outfitting is over, we will go back to Xiangxing." I'm just not worried about the construction of this spaceship, and in the future, there will be more such large ships, and even bigger ships will be built. ”

Thoble said, "Why are we building so many ships?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The universe is infinite, there are countless lands and resources there, we must control these lands and resources to make the Chinese Empire stronger." To have all of this, we're going to need a huge spacefleet and a lot of exploration ships to investigate. This requires us to have a large number of spaceships that can fly for a long time, and even allow humans to live for a long time, as well as enough spirit of exploration, the age of exploration belonging to the universe has come, and we must seize this opportunity to make us stronger. ”

"The young master's goal is really ambitious, it seems that the Chinese Empire will expand into the infinite universe in the future." Hua Dongxing said with a smile.

"That's right, in the future our country will be stronger than anyone can imagine. However, before we can develop the universe, we must first have complete control of our home planet, and full control of the home planet is a must. Fang Xiaoyu said.

Thoble nodded: "Yes, for this aspect, I imagine that the little young master and those boys in the army should be fine, just like the current Gao Hong, who fought well on the Istanbul Peninsula, I didn't expect that the stunned young man back then had become an excellent commander with strategy and calmness, which really impressed me." ”

At the same time that Tobul praised Gao Hong, a rookie in the army that year, Gao Hong was commanding the troops in a major battle with the Axis forces of Charles de Gaulle who had fully landed on the Istanbul Peninsula. Due to the full-scale operation of the cross-strait minelaying and air strangulation operations, the Axis countries' logistical supply lines suffered considerable losses, which made the Axis troops on the front line in a tense situation in terms of logistics and supply.

The Habfsburg and Sardinia Avengers also wreaked havoc in the rear at the same time, seriously hindering the work of the Axis group logistics forces, and Howell had to transfer some troops back to the defense to fill the gap in the rear and encircle and suppress these Guerrillas of the Renaugned Army, which reduced the strength of the Axis Middle Route Army a lot.

Not to mention the Axis commander-in-chief Howell's dispatch to fight fires everywhere, Gao Hong's troops have surrounded the 1.5 million Axis troops near Ankara, and now these Axis forces dominated by the Nantes Army are very unhappy, they have to endure the combined strangulation of bombers and artillery every day, and the casualties continue to soar. Marshal de Gaulle finally tasted the consequences of being divided and surrounded by the rapid advance and dilution of his forces.

In order to suppress the rebellion in the rear, Marshal de Gaulle had already dispersed a million troops to various places on the Istanbul Peninsula, which could not be gathered at all for a while, and with the large losses of previous battles, the mobile forces in his hands no more than three million.

At this time, on the battlefield of the Istanbul Peninsula, the gap between the forces of the two sides has quietly narrowed, and even Gao Hong has a faint upper hand, and these Axis forces surrounded near Ankara are more than half of the troops in the hands of De Gaulle.

In order to be able to save this force, de Gaulle abandoned the northern line of defense and shrunk his forces back, so that he had a force of 700,000. De Gaulle left 200,000 troops to build a new line of defense in case the enemy attacked the flank, and he attacked the encirclement from the north with his only 500,000 troops, and at the same time ordered more than 1 million troops in the encirclement to break through to the north to cooperate with their liberation operations.

For a time, the three lightly armed armies and the twelve mountain armies responsible for besieging the northern part of the Axis army were caught in the two sides of the opposing side, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, and their defense lines were broken one by one, and the casualties were getting bigger and bigger, and their situation was quite dangerous.

Faced with this situation, Gao Hong transferred up a reserve unit that had not been used, including the eight missile brigades of the Second Artillery Corps and the two air assault corps that had just been formed by the Wehrmacht. Despite their small numbers, both of them are equipped with the latest weapons and are quite formidable in combat.

In addition, the more than 800,000 Chinese troops and the Iraqi army responsible for the northern attack began to violently attack the rear of de Gaulle's army, but after the Axis troops took the initiative to retreat, the defense line was shortened a lot, and the 200,000 Axis troops were desperately defending, and they could not break through for a while.

If de Gaulle had been quick to rescue the encircled troops, and then join forces in one place and scatter the Chinese army to surround the Axis forces in several places, it would be possible to be crushed by each of them. And if the reserves and the encircling forces to the north can defuse de Gaulle's attack, then even the half a million troops who came to the rescue are in danger of being eaten.

In addition to throwing in reserves, Takahiro ordered the attacking troops in the south to intensify their attacks, holding back the Axis forces and preventing them from shrinking their lines as they did in the north. In order to cover the battle on the ground, the air forces of the two sides also fought fiercely in the air, the Chinese air force wanted to prevent the other side's reinforcements, while the Axis air force defended to the death, and the battle loss rate of the air forces of both sides rose sharply, but neither of them refused to show weakness.

In the face of high-intensity confrontation operations, even elite pilots are not immune. Fortunately, the aircraft of the Chinese Air Force have good personnel protection and have standard ejection seats, so the survival rate is still very high. The Axis Air Force was different, there was no effective way to parachute, and the armor cut in order to reduce weight caused poor aircraft protection, which caused great losses for Axis pilots, whose average life on the battlefield was only four weeks. After a large number of pilots were lost in battle, a large number of new recruits were recruited, which not only caused a significant decline in the combat effectiveness of the Axis air force, but also greatly damaged their morale.

No matter how tragic the fighting in the air was, the army needed to solve the battle, and at this time De Gaulle personally led the rescue troops, relying on a large number of combat vehicles and armored vehicles to carry out a rapid advance in an attempt to rescue the trapped troops as soon as possible. It has to be said that Marshal de Gaulle's command was quite clever, and in just one week, he broke through the three lines of defense of the Chinese army, and now they are only 100 kilometers away from the encircled area.

Marshal de Gaulle sat in the armored command car, his mood was a little lighter, according to the current progress of the attack, he was still very likely to rescue the encircled troops, but he also knew very well that the resistance of the Chinese army was quite fierce, and in just one week, he lost more than 1,000 armored vehicles and combat vehicles of various types. If this continues, by the time he and the encirclement force break through, I'm afraid there will be many vehicles left.

Marshal de Gaulle knew very well that the closer he got to the encircled area, the stronger the resistance of the Chinese army would be, but now he had no choice, and if he could not rescue this force, the Axis Southern Route Army would collapse completely. More than seventy percent of the Nantes army has been assembled here, and they are all the most elite troops. If these armies are wiped out, the Chinese army will be able to drive straight into the southern route, and the countries of the western continent will not have any ability to resist.

Just as Marshal de Gaulle was thinking about how to rescue the troops and how to turn the tables, there was a sudden commotion outside. "Look, what are those?" Chaos began to rise outside. Marshal de Gaulle stuck his head out of the command car in confusion, and suddenly saw a group of black spots in the sky getting bigger and bigger.

"That's a missile." Marshal de Gaulle gasped, and after several attacks by the Chinese army and the air force with this unique weapon, the army would suffer the same baptism.

Hundreds of short-range surface-to-surface tactical missiles belonging to the Second Artillery Corps of the Chinese Army galloped at high speed several times the speed of sound, giving the Axis troops no chance at all, and these powerful missiles rushed into the Axis forces that were forming an offensive formation.

The sound of explosions shaking the ground continued one after another, and the explosion power of each warhead could radiate the missiles in a radius of 250 meters exploded in the army, causing the armored vehicles near the center of the explosion to become dilapidated immediately, and even those in a slightly distant place were overturned by the air waves. This is not the case with armored vehicles, and the naked soldiers are even more miserable, those who are close to the center of the explosion are directly blown to pieces, and those who are a little further away are also killed or seriously injured.

Marshal de Gaulle looked at everything in front of him in astonishment, his brain had entered a blank state, the Axis army, which was still fierce just now, was defeated and suffered heavy losses in the blink of an eye, and his own side did not even see what the enemy looked like, which was greatly beyond the common sense of General de Gaulle. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the back for safety, I'm afraid Marshal de Gaulle would have turned into a corpse himself, but in his current mood, I'm afraid he would rather become a corpse himself.

The onslaught was just beginning, and after the baptism of surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, a large number of mixed formations of Viom Bee attack helicopters and Land Wasp multi-purpose helicopters from the Air Assault Force soon flew over the Axis armored forces.

A large number of anti-tank missiles, rockets and ultra-high-speed machine guns rained down, making the already heavy losses of the Axis forces even heavier, and a large number of surviving personnel and equipment were wiped out before they could organize effective anti-aircraft resistance, and after an hour and a half of frenzied strafing, the helicopter units retreated, but then another wave of missiles attacked.
