Chapter 620: Tooth Extraction (3)
After suffering heavy losses, the Boston Air Force failed to break through the defensive circle, and the remaining more than 200 F84s were forced to return to the air, but did not achieve the slightest success. Although more than 100 fighters were shot down by the Chinese Air Force in this battle, the planes of the Chinese Empire all had ejection seats with quite mature skills, and most of these pilots successfully parachuted and were rescued by land wasp multi-role helicopters, and more than 100 Boston pilots were also captured.
Due to the lack of understanding of the difficulty of parachuting jets at high speeds, the planes of the Boston Empire did not have ejection seats, which made the success rate of Boston pilots parachuting extremely low, so only more than 100 of the 800 Boston fighters shot down survived, and the Boston Air Force suffered heavy losses.
The Boston rescue force was greeted by two groups of Viom Bee attack helicopters, which were used to delay the opposing vehicle reinforcements after the first major battle.
The battle began without any suspense, and after being hit head-on by helicopters, the two major armies, which had lost thousands of armored vehicles, were forced to stop their operations, and they asked for help from the air force on the one hand, and asked for help from the air force, but the air force that heard the sound was once again beaten by the Golden Eagle 4 fighters of the Chinese air force.
The Kunpeng 3 bomber that arrived later taught these arrogant Boston soldiers a solid lesson. In just half an hour, the two armies had lost more than 100,000 men, a situation that made General Howell furious, so he immediately concentrated a large number of fighters on the battlefield in the center to attack with all his might.
A day later, tens of thousands of Axis fighters rushed in the direction of Fastov, but strangely they were not attacked on the way, and by the time they arrived in Fastov, the battle was over. More than 800,000 Boston soldiers were wiped out, along with tens of thousands of armored vehicles, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers, along with General Gordon, became the first Boston prisoners in the hands of Gold.
In the face of the devastated battlefield, General Howell gritted his teeth but could not do anything, he knew that his own supply lines were too long, and his troops were too large and chaotic, which caused this undeserved defeat. Although his mobile forces still exceeded 12 million, he knew very well that it would not be enough to attack and resupply any further.
For this reason, General Howell had to order his troops to stop at Fastov, and at the same time urged the logistics department to immediately stock up on a large amount of supplies here, he wanted to build a huge supply depot here, and then use the stockpiled supplies to attack again.
The Bostonians temporarily abandoned the offensive, much to the relief of Ivan VI. But Gao Deyu frowned, if the other party didn't move, he would have no chance to destroy the other party, more than 10 million enemy troops were huddled together, and his teeth were a little nowhere to put his mouth even if it was good.
He could only rest his troops while urging the country to transport new equipment and soldiers to the front line as soon as possible, and at the same time send a large number of small troops to get in touch with the Habugsburg and Sardinia guerrillas in the rear of the Axis forces and attack the supply lines of the Axis forces with them.
Although Gao Deyu has made small gains in some parts, on the whole the NATO coalition forces are still retreating step by step. In the face of the powerful and well-equipped Axis armies, NATO appeared to be unprepared, and this situation was of course due to the fact that Fang Ruijun's preparations for war started too late, but the more important reason was Fang Xiaoyu's mistakes in international strategy before the war.
After the First World War, Fang Xiaoyu had the opportunity to rely on the strong economic strength of the Chinese Empire to control the economies of the Western Continent by providing loans to the countries of the Western Continent to support their post-war reconstruction, just as the United States on the earth used economic aid to Europe after World War II to tie the Western European countries to the American economic train.
But Fang Xiaoyu is only a high school student after all, at best he is a military enthusiast, and his knowledge of the operation of financial capital is quite limited, he has only obtained some economic warfare ideas from online novels, so under his intervention, Xiaofeng has mostly studied this aspect, and he does not understand the financial exploitation of the United States.
After the war, in addition to using economic warfare to loot the wealth of various countries, Fang Xiaoyu adopted a glorious isolation policy similar to that of Britain back then, only uniting the small circle of NATO, which provided an opportunity for the Boston Empire.
Through the pegging of the Polish dollar to oil, bank loans, and resource trade wars, the Boston Empire, which suffered little loss in the First World War, gradually established its own sphere of power by relying on its strong economic strength. After the Great War against the Allies, the Boston Empire went even further, completely bringing the entire Western Continent into its own sphere of influence.
With the support of the Western Continent, the Boston Empire's industrial and technological capabilities have grown a lot, and finally have the ability to challenge the NATO alliance led by the Chinese Empire, which has caused the current crisis situation.
Regarding Gao Deyu's request for reinforcements, Fang Ruijun also scratched his head: "How do you think we can recruit enough soldiers to supplement Gao Deyu's troops." Everyone knew that the current situation in the direction of the Western Continent was grim, and everyone frowned.
Su Zhizhen, who succeeded as chief of the General Staff after Tobul's retirement, said: "I believe that the training of soldiers in China has not yet been completed, and if they are rushed to the front, it will easily cause heavy casualties, which will be very unfavorable to our offensive operations." ”
Deputy Chief of General Staff Zhang Zhonglin said: "If there are not enough manpower in the short term, I am afraid that Gao Deyu may not be able to withstand Howell's pressure, and if his defense line collapses, it will cause a very serious situation." ”
Su Zhizhen said: "But now unless the guards are sent over, there is no way to stabilize the battle situation at all, after all, the number of the other party is too large." ”
Wei Lihui, the new army commander on the side, rolled his eyes and said: "If we use a lot of cannon fodder to delay time, can we buy enough time for the training of domestic recruits." ”
Fang Ruijun flatly refused: "No, every one of my Chinese people is precious and cannot be sacrificed easily, and I will never agree to let any good man of the Chinese clan be used as cannon fodder." ”
