In the distance in the city of Urals, artillery is rumbling, and a battle is in full swing.

General Qi Lin, commander-in-chief of the Western Front of the Chinese National Defense Forces and commander of the Northern Theater of Operations, was standing in front of the map with the corners of his mouth pursed, surrounded by his staff officers.

The battle had started three days earlier. The armored forces were invincible, and it took only two days for Qi Lin to completely sweep all the positions of the Russian army on the east bank of the Ural River, advancing more than 80 miles, and annihilating more than 100,000 Russian troops, of which more than 60,000 were captured. Today's Wehrmacht then began to attack the city of Ural on the west bank of the river, but no substantial progress has been made until now.

The Russians blew up all the bridges and towed away all the ships.

The reason why Qi Lin can still be calm and relaxed now is only because of good news from Bazarto's other side - Song Zuoxian has already led his troops to conquer there, annihilated 150,000 Russian troops, and captured Lev, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army opposite. General of the Tovsky Infantry.

Song Zuo sent a telegram first, and after his troops were rectified the day after tomorrow, he would outflank the Russian army in the Urals.

The distance between Bazartobe and the Urals is only more than 400 li, and the distance by the detour route will be farther, but according to the speed of movement of the armored troops, mechanized troops and cavalry, at most, the five or six hundred thousand European coalition troops on the Urals side are not only the Russian army, but also the elite troops of Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries. They will all become turtles in urns.

The offensive in the southern theater of operations, like in Atyrau, came to a standstill. The armored forces were invincible, but they could only be confined to land, and in the face of the Ural River, the hopes of the Zhou army were pinned on Shi Donglai's offensive against Zelenoye.

The latter did not lead many troops. The strength of the army is less than 70,000, but more than 50,000 are mechanized and armored troops. Cavalry made up only a small part. The number of its mechanized and armored units accounted for half of the armored mechanized units of the entire Southern Theater of Operations. The strength of the combat effectiveness cannot be measured by the number of troops at this time.

The Russian defenders of Zelenoye had a division, and this place was far less important than Bazartobe. Because it's not very far from Arautte. Only about 200 miles, the surrounding Borsky, Gray and other places are deployed Russian troops, not to mention that behind it is the Rennes Desert, but the only way to pass is up and down the Ural River, Borsky, Gray and other places blocked the north road of Zelyonoye, and Araut took the south entrance of Zelyonoye, in the Russian army's strategy, Zelyonoye's strategic position is simply dispensable. The most important in the Southhead Theater were Arlaut and Rennes, and the desert was closest to the north of the Urals, and Gray. The Russian army deployed the strength of two armies in the latter.

Soon, good news came from Shi Donglai. Its troops successfully broke through the Ural and occupied Zelenoye. It has turned around and attacked to the south. At the speed of the now invincible armoured forces, the battle would begin in two days at most north of the city of Arauth.

Since the beginning of the battle, it has only been less than four days, and the Russian army has lost 400,000 troops in the entire Ural battlefield. And such a battle story and ending also spread throughout the world for the first time.

It can be said that the appearance of armored vehicles and tanks once again stunned the Western world.

That great power made the entire Western world tremble involuntarily.

Powerful armor is not afraid of bullets, and super power allows steel monsters with tonnage counts to gallop faster than a horse-drawn carriage. They can go over trenches, they can run over roadblocks. They had nothing to fear, except for the shells that hit them. However, there are too few shells that can directly hit the steel monster.

The Russian army has found that a cannon with a straight trajectory is more suitable for fighting these steel chariots. But because of the airship above their heads, the Russian army simply could not assemble a large number of cannons on the battle line. China's airship force now has a smaller, faster, airship. They are scouts in the airship unit, and before each attack, the Chinese will use such small airships to reconnoiter the positions of the Russian army again and again. Dozens of pounds of small bombs were used to test every suspicious place again and again, and tried their best to find the artillery positions of the Russian army. Then let the artillery force or airship force as strong as the Chinese destroy them.

Until now, whether it is an armored vehicle or a tank vehicle. The number of vehicles destroyed in the battle was less than ten, far less than a fraction of the number of their own nests. It also further amazed the Western world with these two magical weapons.

On the front pages of the major newspapers of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and other major European powers, armored vehicles and tank vehicles have been the center of discussions in the past few days. Some scientists have already reworked some performance data based on the combat performance of the Chinese armored forces and combat vehicles, and now they have been studied on the engine.

Because of the lack of interviews for diesel engines, European scientists and scholars who did not know that there was still such a high-power engine rejected the steam engine and turned their attention to the gasoline engine. But the power of the gasoline engine is there, if the heart of these steel monsters is really equipped with a gasoline engine, then the pace of the Chinese on the gasoline engine is at least 20 years ahead of Europe.

Rudolf lives in Augsburg. It was at this point that Diesel knew the great role of his invention. Unfortunately, his surroundings, his research room, his family, his assistants, were all controlled by the Chinese.

The leader holds Rudolph. Diesel signed an agreement with the Chinese side as a reminder not to forget this document, which has the force of law. The document stipulates that it will not be until 1897 at the earliest, Rudolph. Diesel was able to appear in front of the eyes of the world with his diesel engine. Otherwise, Rudolph. What Diesel is going to hand over is a large amount of compensation for the state, as well as his ownership of all the patents for diesel engines. Although the diesel engine has not yet been patented in any of the world's powers other than China.

Now the battle situation is for Liu Xian, who is about to return to Beijing, just need to wait for the final victory result. At present, the Western Front is using 800,000 troops on the front line to encircle and annihilate at least 1.2 million troops of the main forces of the two heavy Russian army groups of Ural and Araut in two ways, which can be called the largest war of annihilation in the world's military history so far. The victory is already in hand, and Liu Xian only hopes that his casualties can be smaller, and the results of the battle can be more satisfying.

It was the Russians themselves who turned the Ural line into a barbell, and it is no wonder that they are so divided and surrounded. When the Wehrmacht conquered the Ural River basin, while the Russian winter was at its coldest and had not yet arrived, the armored forces could at least break through the Volga River basin, and then swept westward. As for the large area between the two heavy groupings of the Ural and Araut and the Russian troops of two or three hundred thousand men, it was left to the follow-up troops of the Wehrmacht.

A fresh force of 500,000 men had already entered the Anxi and Beiting regions from Ili, and were now rushing by train towards the Ural Valley. This new force and the more than 100,000 troops stranded behind the combat corps are the cards that put the Russian army in the center of the country to jump over the wall and cross the Ural River to counterattack the east of the river. With them, the Wehrmacht side of this battle is foolproof.

The "boom, boom, boom......, boom" shelling continued to fall in the city of Urals, but the defenders still held on, and the elite troops of Russia, Britain, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, one division after another, filled the blood basin of the Wehrmacht. The Wehrmacht has turned into gluttony, and the mouth of blood is like a bottomless pit, and no amount of life seems to be filled. But none of the commanders of Russia, Britain, France, Spain, and the Netherlands thought of abandoning the Urals.

It was not that they regarded the city of Ural as important, but that after seeing the power and speed of the armored forces, they were not confident that they would be able to get rid of and block the Wehrmacht in the wilderness after breaking away from the city. The presence of the city of Urals, the streets and buildings in the city, at least to a certain extent, limited the wreaking and lethality of the steel monsters.

In the previous continuous operations, the airships and artillery groups cooperated and successively inflicted heavy casualties on the coalition forces in the city. At the cost of five airships, the airship force destroyed a deeply hidden ammunition depot and two grain depots.

The martyrdom of the former not only affected the operations of the coalition forces, but also caused a lot of damage to the coalition troops. Because the city of Ural is not a very large city, although the city is already a very prosperous place in the middle of the Ural River and the southern region of the Ural Mountains, it has no more than 50,000 inhabitants.

When the small city of the Urals was filled with the armies of the two countries, a hidden ammunition depot was blown up, and the impact was significant. The violent explosion made the Wehrmacht think that it had hit an earthquake for a moment.

The airship unit then continued to bomb, bombs falling from the sky without any precision strikes. Only a part of the area was demarcated, and then the bombs were constantly dropped, at an altitude of 1,500 meters. This is the highest altitude that the airship troops are now able to climb.

This kind of bombing at any cost has brought a lot of trouble to the deployment and military arrangement of the coalition forces, and the defenders are getting more and more tired as they fight, and the coalition troops are becoming more and more like the 'end of the crossbow', both in terms of strength and firepower.

Of course, such a performance of the coalition army is also very likely to be due to the gradual approach of Song Zuo's first headquarters in the southwest, and the road is only more than 400 miles in total, which is only a seven or eight day's march for ordinary troops. For armored and mechanized units, this time can be cut in half.

Song Zuoxian had 130,000 troops, 70,000 armored troops and mechanized troops, more than the Zhou army and Qi Lin, and the remaining 50,000 troops were also cavalry and horse infantry, which marched quickly and had strong combat effectiveness.

If the person standing at the command at this time is Liu Xian, then some of them can be understood. The reason why the performance of the coalition forces in Ural City is getting weaker and weaker, and the resistance is getting worse and worse, is not that they are really afraid, it is because Song Zuo's first department, which was outflanked from the rear of the southwest side, attracted too much attention from the coalition army.
