After the fortifications around the city were constructed, the Wehrmacht issued an ultimatum to the city, demanding that they surrender within twenty-four hours, or the army would launch a full-scale attack.

The royal family and the nobility of Kokand were already red-eyed, and their confidence was shaken when they saw the Cossacks who they saw as their only hope, but like the gamblers in the casino, they would not stop without losing the last penny, so they decided to hold on and wait for reinforcements from the Cossacks.

Naturally, the Wehrmacht did not pin their hopes of victory on an ultimatum, and after the most intense ultimatum they began to prepare for battle intensely. After all, 100,000 people want to gather 600,000 to annihilate 600,000, and they can't let the other side run, and the difficulty of such a battle can be imagined, so regardless of whether the other side surrenders or not, the preparations must be meticulous and in place.

Twenty-four hours had passed, and the Wehrmacht had not made any further persuasion to surrender, and the guns of various calibers of the various units had raised their muzzles, and the artillery commanders at all levels looked at their watches and silently counted every minute and every second.

"Fire." With the command of the artillery commanders at all levels, hundreds of artillery pieces let out an earth-shattering roar at the same time, and the flash of the muzzle reflected the sky that had just fallen into the night.

Shells rained down into the city of Kriushy, and the Kokand army, which had been nervously waiting in the city, was killed and wounded heavily, and their artillery soon began to return fire, but the artillery of the Kokand army was all old goods eliminated by the Cossack army, and compared with the artillery equipped with the Chinese Empire, it was not at all in the same order of magnitude.

The Wehrmacht did not attack, they just had the artillery take turns shelling the city. A large number of shells fell into the city one after another, destroying the adobe houses one by one, and the soldiers and civilians of Kokand, who had nowhere to hide, had to hide under the city walls to avoid being hit by the projectile howitzers.

The losses in the city are getting bigger and bigger, the buildings are completely razed to the ground, even the royal palace is not spared, the Wehrmacht artillery completely destroyed the royal palace in the first place, and now the whereabouts of the Kokand royal family are unknown, and the Kokand army, which has lost its command, does not know what to do.

Some of the officers and men of Kokand could not bear the shelling of the city, so they opened the city gates, brandished their rifles and rushed out, but unfortunately they were still 800 meters away from the enemy's defense line, and the sound of machine gun fire sounded like tearing cloth on the opposite Wehrmacht defense line.

Hundreds of machine guns fired cross-fire from their flanks, and in just ten minutes, all the Kokand soldiers who tried to break through were turned into corpses that fell to the ground, and blood stained the entire yellow sand, and no one in the city dared to break through anymore.

The Wehrmacht was not in a hurry, they just kept bombarding the city with artillery fire, and they didn't need too much firepower, after the intensive shelling in the initial stage, the Wehrmacht just shot without a cannon, challenging the spiritual bottom line of the Kokand people.

This artillery battle, which tortured people's wills, came to an end after only three days. The members of the royal family of Kokand were buried under the rubble and no one was in charge, and the remaining top official, the left prime minister of Kokand, Gudayali, was unwilling to bear the responsibility of surrendering, but the Wehrmacht shelled day and night, and everyone was worried that the shells would fall on their heads in the next moment, and this situation finally made everyone collapse, and the last officials agreed that they should surrender unconditionally in the name of all officials.

Gudayali breathed a sigh of relief, and if it continued like this, he couldn't stand it either, and now everyone agreed to surrender, which was considered to have given him a step down. For the first time, the officials of Kokand, who usually blame each other, took the same position, but unfortunately they took the position of surrender.

A white flag was first hoisted at the head of the city, and then a group of Kokand officials, led by the Prime Minister of the Left Empire, Gudayali, opened the city gate and went out of the city to the Wehrmacht position to surrender. Wang Mian and Chen Junhe, as the supreme commanders of the Wehrmacht in this area, accepted their surrender together, received the seal representing the supreme power of the state of Kokand and the royal insignia, and the country surrendered unconditionally.

Wang Mian and Chen Junhe first asked Gudayali to send officials to all parts of the country to issue an order for the country to surrender and give up resistance, and then the two Wehrmacht commanders went even further, and after the unconditional surrender of Kokand, they counted the remaining 500,000 defenders and more than 1 million civilians in the entire city of Kriwushi as prisoners of war and transported them back to China.

When Lin Feng sent people to receive these free laborers, he found that there were more than 100,000 elderly people and many children among them, and they had no ability to work at all.

The most apocalyptic outcome of this incident was naturally that Wang Mian and Chen Junhe were scolded by Tobul and asked them to go down and not allow this kind of thing to make the army embarrassed, but in view of the fact that they were able to pacify the entire Kokand country so quickly, reduce their losses and capture many prisoners of war, the Joint Command still awarded them the National Hero Medal.

The capital of Kokand, Kriushi, gathered 600,000 troops, but did not fight a battle, and surrendered in only three days. It is said that the Cossack Emperor Alexander III scolded after receiving the news of the surrender of Kokand, claiming that even 600,000 pigs could not be caught in three days.

In any case, the Kokand state surrendered anyway, and the territory of the former Stanya Union occupied by the Cossack Empire was completely exposed to the Chinese Empire.

The Wehrmacht then took advantage of the victory to attack, broke into the territory of the former Stanya Union on three fronts, and drove the local Cossack garrison back to the country like ducks, and the Cossacks took the territory occupied by the Wehrmacht in only one month at a very low cost at the cost of hundreds of thousands of casualties and months.

If the surrender of Kokand can be explained by the belly of the fish, then the result of successive defeats of the Cossack army in a few months, with the loss of hundreds of thousands of men, is even more eye-catching.

Fortunately, after successive victories in the Far East and the Central Continent, the troops of the Chinese Empire stopped their offensive, which greatly relieved the Cossack Empire.

The main reason why the army stopped attacking was that the logistical supplies could not keep up. Before the war, the logistics department had already stocked enough supplies for a major battle in various material storage points along the border. But the logistics department also did not expect that the army's offensive would be so fast and the ammunition consumption would be so large.

Under the use of various new weapons and new tactics, the Cossack army and the Kokand army were defeated one after another, the logistics supply line was stretched a lot, and the huge ammunition consumption also made the inventory bottom out in an instant, and the current forward army could only wait for the logistics department to urgently transfer supplies from the country before continuing to attack the Cossack Empire.

In addition to the lack of supplies, another reason is the casualties, the losses on the battlefield in the Central Continent are not large, the troops attacking Kokand only suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and the troops attacking the Cossack Empire Barnaul suffered more losses, only more than 10,000 people.

The greatest losses were in the Far Eastern Theater, although the Chinese Imperial Army won a complete victory, the number of casualties was as high as more than 50,000, especially in the blocking battle to capture the city of Yakutsk, the 12th Army alone suffered 60% casualties, which can be described as a great loss of vitality, and it was impossible to fight again without replenishment.

Although the offensive in both directions on land was postponed, the offensive launched by the Chinese Empire was not directed against one direction and one country, nor was it only the army.

The Southern Ocean Fleet, with the cooperation of the First Marine Corps and the Wehrmacht, launched an attack on the eastern and central colonies of the Saar and Nantes empires. There were only two colonies in the East between the Saar and Nantes Empires, one was the port of Tamsui and the island of Suman, which were ceded from Siam, and the other was in the Kingdom of Chamsi.

The colonies of the Chhanxi Kingdom have been reclaimed by Xiao Cheng's Twelfth Army secretly sent by the Chinese Empire, and the main force of the Eastern Continental Fleet that captured the Sahr Empire was also brought to reshuffle the naval strength of the entire Southern Ocean.

Unlike the Army, the Army can be dispatched immediately and launch an attack as long as the logistics supply is sufficient, while the preparation of the Navy is cumbersome, and many capital ships are still in the dock for maintenance, and they have to wait for them to rejoin the battle sequence before they can start the operation. As a result, the sea was very quiet for a month after the declaration of war, with only a few light warships on both sides used for patrolling and some minor friction, but there was no major battle.

Although the sea was very calm, the Allied troops did not dare to take it lightly, at this time they were already difficult to ride a tiger, and it was impossible to even withdraw to the country, they could only step up patrols every day to prevent a sneak attack by the Chinese Empire, but what should come will eventually come.

On a June morning, the sea was still shrouded in mist, and several old gunboats in Tamsui Harbour were docked at their berths, swaying slowly with the crash of the waves. After occupying the port of Tamsui Usui, the Sahr not only built a modern port, but also built a strong fortress on the headland of the strait to guard the harbor.

At this time, on the lookout on the top floor of the fortress, two Saar soldiers were walking back and forth, occasionally observing the sea with binoculars and distinguishing passing ships.

"Mike, you said it's not strange today, from morning until now, not a single merchant ship has been seen." One of the sentries held a cigarette in his mouth and scanned the sea with a binocular.
