The troops of these three divisions were none other than the 107th Army of the National Defense Army, led by Lieutenant General Li Guojun, which was a reserve force like the troops in Nanfang County, but they were much better equipped than Nanfang County. Since the Western Continent was the main battlefield of the entire Great War, the war situation here was even more severe, so the heavy equipment of the entire Chinese Empire was tilted in this direction, and Li Guojun's troops also took advantage of the situation and became the first batch of reserve troops to be equipped with the latest equipment.

Well-equipped and well-equipped, with only 50,000 troops, the Wehrmacht could play a limited role in this kind of war with millions at every turn, and after the Iraqi army lost its defensive line, he also had to retreat into Istanbul with the 107th Army to defend.

The Chinese Empire was very experienced in urban defense warfare, and after retreating into the city, the officers and men of the 107th Army of the Wehrmacht occupied a lot of fortified houses and set up many barricades in the streets.

When the commander of the Nantes army, Charles de Gaulle, sent ten corps into the city, they were immediately hit by heavy light fire, and bullets came from all directions, killing many unprepared Nantes soldiers.

The Renault tanks were also attacked by a variety of anti-tank weapons, and the losses of the Nantes army rose rapidly, and at this time, the Imperial fleet of Istanbul anchored in the port of Izmit also rushed across the strait, and the battleship "Astwood", the flagship of the navy, began to bombard the Axis troops on land with its huge 406 mm main guns, killing and wounding the Axis troops very much.

The Axis forces immediately returned fire, and hundreds of bombers, under the cover of the same number of fighters, flew towards the straits in an attempt to bomb the Imperial Istanbul Navy. The Axis air forces flew together, and the radars placed on the Istan Peninsula detected them, and the air forces stationed on the front line of Bandarma in the rear immediately took off a large number of Golden Eagle 4 fighters to intercept them.

As soon as the Axis air forces entered the skies over Istanbul, they exchanged fire with the fighter units of the Istanbul Air Force, and the two sides fought a tragic aerial decisive battle. Although the Istanbul Empire did not have aircraft carriers, it was protected by land-based aircraft, and the Naoli-class battleships as flagships also had good air support, so in the event of a fierce battle between the two sides, the battleship Astwood was still able to bombard the Nantes army leisurely, while the Nantes army was helpless.

Soon the Boston Army transported the 420-millimeter train guns they had discarded by rail. But without absolute air supremacy, the Axis air forces could not have any advantage, and without those planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance, these train guns could only carry out shelling in the general direction, and their accuracy can be imagined.

Although the battleship Astwood of the East Empire is basically blind fire, the target they need to attack is large, even if the shells deviate from a few hundred meters, they can still hit the position of the Nantes army, so the Nantes army is a little unbearable.

After consulting with the Boston Empire, a large number of Axis air forces stationed in various parts of the Western Continent began to concentrate in the Balkans, targeting the Eastburg region, and even the Axis air forces in the northern part of the southern subcontinent were also drawn.

With a numerical advantage of six to one, the Boston Air Force dominated the skies of the Istanbul area, and the Iraqi Empire could only rely on more advanced radar systems, adopt small group raid operations, try to fight small battles, and rely on the better performance of the Golden Eagle 4 fighter to eliminate the Axis air force piecemeal.

But such tactics gradually lost their effect, after suffering several losses, the Axis Air Force began to increase the size of the fleet, so that the Istanbul Air Force could not find a chance to start, and at the same time, the latest F86 fighter produced by the Boston Empire began to enter small batches of equipment, this new fighter that has been slightly stronger than the Golden Eagle 4, once it appeared, it shocked the NATO allies, and the Iraqi Air Force suffered a dark loss, and more than a dozen fighters were shot down.

After the skies were fully controlled, the Bostonian B25 tactical bombers and B29 strategic bombers jointly attacked and unscrupulously carried out high-intensity bombing of Istanbul, turning this famous historical and cultural city into ruins, and many ancient buildings with a history of thousands of years were turned into a pile of rubble.

In the face of difficult circumstances, Li Guojun not only united the Iraqi army and fought side by side with them, but also personally commanded the front-line and led the soldiers to fight the Axis forces between the ruins.

The Imperial Iraqi army was taught by the Chinese Empire back then, and their officers at all levels were also foreign trainees of the major military academies of the Chinese Empire, and they still had a lot of feelings for the Chinese Empire, so they were very cooperative with Li Guojun's actions, and the two sides worked closely together to fight several classic counterattacks, but the gap between the numbers of the two sides was too large, and Istanbul was gradually occupied.

'We can't play like that anymore, defending everywhere makes us very passive. We have fewer people, and the more we defend, the more obvious our numerical disadvantage becomes. Li Guojun withdrew his gaze from the map and straightened up.

Kemal, the commander of the Imperial Army of Istanbul, was smoking a cigarette, frowning and thinking on the side, he was thinking so seriously that he didn't even notice that the cigarette was gradually burning out. The cigarette burned shorter and shorter, and eventually burned his hand.

Kemal, who was pulled back from his thoughts by pain, threw away his cigarette butt, shook his burned hand and said: "Even if we don't want to defend, there is no way, our troops are too small, and we have no air supremacy, how can we launch an attack." ”

Li Guojun's eyes lit up and said: "We launched a night attack, the Axis air force is unbearable to fight at night, we can directly face the Axis army entering the city, so we have a better grasp." ”

"Will this work?" Kemal was a little suspicious of a night attack, fearing that it would be obvious that the enemy would be surrounded.

Li Guojun gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't do it, you can do it, now that we are facing millions of enemy troops, if we don't fight dangerously, we won't have a chance, do you want to be driven out of the sea?" ”

Li Guojun's words made Kemal's heart tremble, indeed, behind Istanbul is the sea, if you don't want to be driven out of the sea, you have to fight hard. Kemal finally agreed to Lee's plan, which is the only feasible plan at present.

"Hurry up, the people behind you will catch up." Wu Jun whispered to his warriors, telling them to go faster. At this time in Istanbul, the two sides were so staggered that it was impossible to tell where the real forward positions were.

At this time, the Wu army was taking a battalion of soldiers, interspersed with the deep defense line, and cut into the front line of the Boston army. Ten minutes were still ten minutes before the allotted attack time, and they were still two blocks away from their intended location, largely due to the delay they had had made to evade the Boston Patrol.

At this time, in the other direction, suddenly there was a gunshot, and then the gunfire intensified, mixed with some explosions, apparently the same infiltration force as them was discovered.

The sound of gunfire was like a hornet's nest, a large number of Boston troops woke up from their dreams, these soldiers who slept in their clothes grabbed their weapons and rushed into the streets, the nearby Boston troops continued to increase, and the troops of the Wu army could be discovered at any time.

The anxious Wu Jun accidentally saw a small building on the side of the road that was relatively intact, although this building was bombed and the glass was all broken, it was still intact and the space was large enough.

Wu Jun knew that he couldn't waste time, so he waved his hand and let all the more than 300 soldiers under him hide in the small building. No sooner had the soldiers taken cover than a large group of Boston troops turned the corner, and they rushed through the street without stopping, towards the dense gunfire, not paying the slightest attention to the dilapidated building on the side of the road.

Seeing the Boston army going farther and farther, the deputy battalion commander Qian Shuhong said in a low voice: "Battalion commander, it must be our friendly army that has been discovered, do you want to help?" ”

Wu Jun raised his binoculars and said while observing the situation outside: "You don't need us to go over, didn't you hear that the gunshots were much denser?" The large forces must have attacked, and the Bostonians soon lost sight of the discovered attacking troops. ”

Qian Shuhong nodded and said, "It's okay, let's continue to attack, what are you doing here?" ”

"Let's observe the enemy situation first." As he spoke, Wu Jun suddenly pointed to a small white building in another block and said, "You see if it's suspicious there." ”

"Really?" Qian Shuhong also picked up the binoculars and looked: "Yes, the building is relatively complete, it seems that there are lights inside, it seems that it is blocked by things, but there are many guards." Qian Shuhong quickly discovered a lot of suspicions.

"You said it wasn't a command." Wu Jun asked.

Qian Shuhong nodded: "Almost, even if it's not a headquarters, at least it's a communication center, haven't you seen a lot of antennas on the roof?" Let's get rid of it and don't lose it. ”

Wu Jun smiled: "That's right, since we're here to make trouble, let's him for a while." ”

The gunfire in the distance was still sparse and dense, and the Iraqi army had begun a full-scale counteroffensive, and the soldiers on both sides launched a fierce exchange of fire, while the Axis army was not prepared for a night battle, and retreated again and again as soon as it made contact, obviously suffering a big loss, while the Iraqi army and the 107th Army led by Liu Guojun took the opportunity to counterattack and recapture several blocks in a row.

The gunfire became more and more intense, and even the guards near the small building became nervous, and they all looked towards the gunfire, completely forgetting their responsibilities.

"Let's get moving." Wu Jun gave an order, and the soldiers hiding in the small building came out one after another, bypassing the dilapidated small building, and directly attacked the Axis soldiers who were watching.

An Axis soldier turned his head to see the crowd swarming, and he screamed and tried to take his rifle off his shoulder, but the Wehrmacht soldier who heard the scream flattened the automatic rifle before he could take it off, and the nearby guards were ground to the ground by the dense bullets.
