The last to retreat coalition soldiers blew up all the port facilities in the Toulon military port, and set fire to the shipyard and dockyard, completely destroying this 200-year-old port area.

Following the retreat of the coalition forces, Marshal Petain, who returned to the Toulon military port, was on fire in his eyes, but he was helpless, and the Nantes army, who had no ability to pursue, could only watch the finances of its own people looted and the military port was completely destroyed, but the Nantes army who returned to the Toulon military port did not dare to be idle, they quickly cleaned up the ruins, helped the people to resume production, and at the same time began to build strong fortifications and coastal batteries near the Toulon military port to prevent the other side from attacking again.

The Grand Duchy of Sardinia was busy suppressing civil riots and quelling popular anger, and there was no possibility of making progress for the time being. The Yaman army also had to temporarily shrink and recuperate due to heavy losses and the enemy on both sides. As for the Entente direction, they were already exhausted on the defensive, and they were hoping for a respite, and the front of both sides fell silent again.

Both sides did their best in this round of crossing, but they didn't take much advantage. However, in view of the fact that the Yaman Empire began to use homemade chariots, both accelerated the development of their own chariots, and the Nantes Empire was invaded, and their scientists naturally worked more selflessly, making scientific research progress extremely rapid.

A month later, Reich Nantes scientists announced that they had copied the 50 hp gasoline engine found on the Jazz, and then announced that they would design their own model of the Jazz.

This news caused a sensation among the warring countries, this was the first time that a country had copied the internal combustion engine unique to the Chinese Empire, and the Thar Empire soon exchanged its own depth charge technology with the Nantes Empire for the internal combustion engine technology, and both countries began to build chariots in preparation for a decisive battle with the Yaman Empire.

The government of the Yaman Empire was a little panicked, although the internal combustion engines of the two countries were not very powerful, and they could only imitate light chariots like the Jazz, which were still easily destroyed on the battlefield.

But after all, it was a powerful offensive weapon, and once there was a numerical superiority, it would form an unimaginably huge power, and in the absence of diesel engines, the Yaman Empire began to develop anti-tank weapons while stepping up the production of its own A7V tank.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the countries involved in the war were focused on the battlefield on the Western Front, the Cossack Empire concentrated its forces and launched a surprise attack on the Stanya Alliance with the help of new equipment purchased from the Chinese Empire.

Previously, in order not to provoke the Entente countries too much, the weapons used by the Chinese Empire to support the Stanya Alliance were all light weapons, and these weapons could not stop the combination of bombers and heavy artillery of the Cossack Empire, and the Cossack army quickly broke through the Ishim River defense line and pointed directly at Karaganda.

"General, our army can't stand it." An officer in a robe stormed the felt tent of the command. The robe is the military uniform of the Stanya Alliance, and this bulky uniform is only worn by nomads like them.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Stanya Alliance, the prince of the Kazakh kingdom, Kaim, sat in his chair with a frown, and when he heard the report of the comer, he sighed and said: "Let the troops retreat to the second line of defense, we must wait for the opportunity, and the cavalry can only be dispatched if the damned planes of the Cossacks are eliminated." ”

Prince Kaaim then turned to the guard officer Aura on the side and said, "Is there any news from the Alliance Council and when will we be able to buy heavy artillery and bombers from the Chinese Empire?" ”

Aura said with a depressed face: "According to the news sent by His Majesty, the council thinks that these things are too expensive, and it is better to buy more rifles and equip more troops with this money. ”

Hearing Ola's words, Prince Kaim angrily slapped the table and stood up: "This group of nobles who only know how to enjoy the Tao is not worthy of our great Kazakh royal family at all, they should come to see the battlefield and see how many of our warriors have died in vain because we have no heavy artillery and bombers." ”

Aura approached Prince Kaim's side and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty once privately consulted a Chinese Imperial officer who delivered supplies to us, and he said, ......" Speaking of this, Ola was a little afraid to continue.

"Tell me what he says." Prince Kaim asked eagerly.

Aura sighed and said, "He said that the quality of our soldiers is too poor, even if we hand over bombers and heavy artillery, we won't be able to learn in a short time." ”

Hearing Ola's answer, Prince Kaaim was not angry, but felt a deep sense of helplessness, and his previous vision was also very short-sighted, thinking that as long as there was a war horse and a good enough rifle, he could be invincible in the world. But this war against the Cossack Empire woke him up, and he realized that without heavy weapons, his so-called invincibility in the world was just a ridiculous conjecture, but now it was too late to remedy.

Prince Kaim gritted his steel teeth and said viciously: "Let's defeat those damned Cossacks first, and then re-establish our great Kazakh army, now let the sneak attack troops prepare." ”

A day of bombardment had put the Stanya Alliance's defenses in jeopardy, but they barely held on with the help of several reserves that had filled the battlefield. In the evening, the Cossacks chose to retreat and wait until tomorrow to fight again, after all, night is more favorable to the side with weak firepower, and their own bombers do not have the ability to fly at night.

The fatigue of the day made the soldiers of the Cossack army fall asleep after dinner, leaving only a few troops to defend the perimeter, but even then it was not for the soldiers of the Steanya Union to attack.

Therefore, they chose to make a detour, and while the Cossacks were falling asleep, a unit of the Steanya Union quietly bypassed the Cossack line and rushed to the rear.

A contingent of Stanya cavalry, taking advantage of the darkness, lurked near the front-line airfield of the Cossack corps. The military airfield of the Cossacks in the dark was quite quiet, because it was in the rear, there were not many guards here, only sentry posts were deployed near the barracks, oil depots and ammunition depots, and there were not even a single torch elsewhere.

These Stanya cavalrymen put halters on their horses and wrapped their hooves in cotton cloth to prevent them from making noises. The cavalry in front quietly dismounted, pulled out the saber smeared with black mud, pressed the blade against the barbed wire fence surrounding the airport, held the knife in one hand, and pressed it the back of the knife with the other.

It has to be said that the scimitar of the Stanya people is indeed sharp, and in the absence of sapper pliers, the blade of the scimitar alone actually silently cut through the barbed wire the thickness of the little thumb.

Several cavalrymen were busy for a while, and the barbed wire was quickly cut into a gap several meters wide. Then the cavalry did not mount their horses, and everyone led their horses carefully through the gap and felt towards the interior of the airport.

The Stanya cavalry split into two parts, one going near the runway to destroy the planes parked on the lawn, and the other reaching the warehouse area, where they intended to blow up the aviation fuel and bombs.

There were no sentries near the airport, and the Stanya soldiers easily touched the vicinity of the plane, and after confirming that these were all planes, the Stanya soldiers took out the big leather bags on their waists.

These skins, which were supposed to be used for mare's milk wine or water, were now filled with oil. Seeing the success of the sneak attack, the soldiers swam back and forth between the planes, spilling bags of fire oil on the wooden fighters and bombers.

Just as these people were about to light the fire, gunshots were heard in the direction of the warehouse area, and the Stanya soldiers who attacked the warehouse area were discovered by the Cossack sentries, and when they saw that the sneak attack failed, the Stanya soldiers opened fire one after another, killing all the few sentries.

The sound of gunfire alarmed the Cossack army in the barracks, the gunfire began to intensify, and soon Cossack soldiers rushed out of the barracks and rushed towards the warehouse area. Seeing that the operation was exposed, many Steanya soldiers fell on their backs and resisted, while others busily opened warehouses and poured fire oil.

Seeing the gunfire in the warehouse area, the officers who commanded the sneak attack on the tarmac immediately ordered the ignition, they wanted to attract the attention of the Cossacks and relieve the pressure on the friendly troops.

As the fire on the tarmac ignited, one plane after another exploded and caught fire, and the blazing flames made the igniting Steanya soldiers afraid to approach, and the commander gave the order, and the Steanya soldiers immediately mounted their horses, withdrew from the gap in the barbed wire, and returned to the back of the hill where they started.

Stan's troops are all cavalry, and now they don't have much effect even if they go to support the warehouse area, it is better to rush out of the warehouse area first and meet the friendly forces, and those troops who sneak up on the warehouse area are also cavalry, as long as they succeed, they will easily get out.

"Hurry, hurry, we're going to get out of the way." The commander who was directing the battle in the warehouse area shouted an order to speed up the soldiers who were pouring fire oil, and as the Cossack army gathered more and more, the casualties of the Stanya soldiers were skyrocketing, but fortunately, some of the Cossack soldiers went to the tarmac to put out the fire, relieving some of the pressure, so that they held out for so long.

"My lord, we're wounded, let's stay and blow up this place." Dozens of seriously wounded Stanya soldiers addressed the commander one after another.

There was silence for a moment as the commander in charge of the operation knew that it was very dangerous to burn the ammunition depots with fire oil, that it would be difficult for the personnel in charge of the fire to get out of it, and that he would not be willing to make such a decision if it was not a last resort, and that the wounded were clearly ready to die.

The commander knew in his heart that such an arrangement was the most reasonable, but leaving this group of wounded people behind made his heart a little sad. Seeing the commander, one of the wounded said, "My lord, you can't hesitate any longer, you must retreat." ”

The commander gritted his teeth, stood up and made the highest ritual of their religion to the wounded soldiers: "May Allah bless you with eternal life." ”

"May Allah bless you." Nearby Stanya soldiers also saluted the wounded soldiers.

Standing up straight, the commander ordered with a serious face: "All retreat." At his command, all the unwounded Stanya soldiers mounted their horses, bypassing the frontal Cossacks, and rushed towards the gap in the barbed wire in the rear, riding along the way and looking back from time to time at their comrades who had remained there.
