Without the constraints of the civilian bureaucracy, General Larry quickly took control of the country, and after a period of confusion, the forward army, which had lost its supreme command, finally chose to obey the government's orders and withdraw to the country for reorganization. Withdrawing to the country is not the end of the war, and after a new reorganization, they will be thrown into a new war.

General Larry then officially announced that the Republic of Gothenburg would secede from the Axis bloc and join the NATO alliance to fight. The 700,000-strong Gothenburg army began to turn westward, and with Zhukov's Third Army, launched an attack on the Viking Kingdom.

The Viking Kingdom was already two-thirds smaller than the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg, and they were closer to the north, and the cold climate made it impossible for their population to grow, and the 900,000 troops who joined the Axis attack last time were already all their mobile forces, but Chabaev secretly united with the Cossack Empire and wiped them all out in the area north of Vyborg.

These days, the Viking top brass had been in fear, wondering if the Cossacks would come at the attack, and even if they had armed the whole country, they had received less than 200,000 soldiers. These people are just strong men who have just taken up arms, and they are not even recruits, so how can they defend the country, as for those original elite soldiers in the country, they have long since died on the battlefield or have entered the prisoner camps of the Cossacks.

The Cossacks and Gothenburg combined forces to overwhelm the border, and the 900,000-strong army swept through the Viking kingdom like a devastation, and after holding out for a month, the Viking kingdom was forced to surrender, and the threat to the north of the Cossack empire was completely lifted.

Having lost the threat from the north, the pressure on the Cossacks was greatly reduced, and they could face the Thar army from the south more calmly. After two months of attacking without an inch, the Saar army had no stamina, and they had to suspend the offensive and rest their troops with heavy casualties.

Seizing this rare opportunity, Marshal Kolchak also began to reorganize his troops, adding a large number of new recruits to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops, and with the addition of the Gothenburg army, the defense near the Paladinburg was greatly enriched. In the Petrov region, the Gothenburg army even helped the local Cossack defenders to launch a large-scale counteroffensive, pushing back the nearby Axis troops for tens of kilometers, completely removing them from the threat to this region.

The Petrov region was re-mastered by the Cossack army, which allowed the rear of the Cossack Empire to get in complete contact with the Paladinburg, and soon a steady stream of materials was concentrated on the Paladin's Fort, and the comparison of forces between the two sides began to change significantly, and the Northern Route Army of the Axis group, dominated by the Saar army, no longer had an advantage, and even after a large number of new Cossack pilots graduated from the Chinese Empire, even the air force of the two sides also attacked and defended each other, and the Axis group could no longer dominate the sky of the Paladin's Fort, The fighting between the two sides reached a stalemate.

The backlash of the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg and the surrender of the Vikings made General Howell extremely annoyed, and the lack of strength of the Saar army's attack also worried him, but he also knew that the Saar army was not to blame. The strength of the two northern countries was already weak, and the Boston Empire could only give priority to the supply of the best weapons to the main forces due to insufficient production capacity, and the mechanized equipment made in Boston was somewhat unsuitable for the cold weather in the far north, which caused the armies of the two northern countries to still use outdated weapons, and even did not have any mechanized troops.

They were not equipped with mechanized troops, naturally because of the severe cold environment in the local area, so that the tanks and trucks produced in Boston often broke down, and because the troops in the hands of General Howell were lost too quickly, especially the heavy equipment, and the replenishment speed could not even keep up with the speed of consumption, if it were not for the severe cold and a few months of rest, I am afraid that his armored troops were ready to charge on foot with bayonets.

At this time, even his life was not easy, the Axis Central Route Army was only a thousand kilometers away from the Northern Route Army, they were also in a high latitude region, and the winter was also very difficult. They finally survived the winter, but they were surprised to find that the troops of the Chinese Empire had not been idle all winter, and they had built a strong reinforced concrete defense line in the area near Kharkov, which made Howell puzzled.

According to common sense, after reaching the freezing point, cement cannot be poured, not to mention that in the winter in the north, minus twenty or thirty degrees is a very normal phenomenon, but the Chinese Empire has done this under impossible circumstances. Although Howell did not know the power of the Chinese Empire's cement antifreeze, he also knew that it must be the result of some new technology in the Chinese Empire.

Because the enemy's positions were stronger, he also had to extend the time for stockpiling supplies, and as the Axis armies advanced, the supply lines across the stormy ocean and across the entire western continent were too long, and he waited for two months, only to wait for the situation in the north to take a sharp turn for the worse, which did not make him anxious.

Knowing that he could not wait any longer, Howell ordered the army to immediately begin an offensive, aiming directly at the new line of defense in the Kharkiv region. Tens of millions of troops divided into five echelons launched a full-scale attack on the defense line of the Chinese Empire, which stretched for 200 kilometers.

In the face of such a large-scale attack, Gao Deyu did not dare to slack off, and more than 2 million front-line troops were immediately thrown into the position to resist the opponent's attack, while 1 million Japanese troops were placed in the central defense line where the battle was most fierce and the casualties were the worst.

For this nation, Fang Ruijun, like his father, always wears colored glasses. Fang Ruijun will not feel distressed about how many Japanese soldiers die, anyway, as long as they are given the opportunity to build a country, even if these people die, the upper echelons of the Japanese people will not have a word of complaint, and they will not even ask for a pension, where to find such a good thing.

The entire Chinese Empire, from Fang Xiaoyu down, simply blocked the use of cannon fodder by the Japanese soldiers, and since the last war, it has always been where the most dangerous place is, the Japanese soldiers have been fighting. The defensive operation on the Dnieper River last autumn caused the Japanese soldiers to lose more than 100,000 troops, and this time Gao Deyu repeated the old tricks, and his intention to weaken the Japanese soldiers was very obvious. Of course, Gao Deyu is not at ease with these people, so behind the central defense line, the reserve team is also the strongest in the entire defense line.

With the artillery support of the Chinese Army, 1 million Japanese soldiers were all transferred to the front line to fight, but these Japanese soldiers did not complain, they lay in the fortifications, fighting desperately with the weapons in their hands. A large number of Axis chariots swarmed in, but those Japanese soldiers operated a large number of anti-chariot guns, desperately firing shells, and did not bother to dodge the oncoming bullets and shells of the other side, and when one gunner was hit and fell to the ground, another gunner was soon replaced, and they put themselves in a dangerous position, without even the slightest hesitation, which stunned the Chinese Imperial observers sent by Gao Deyu to monitor them.

Originally, these observers came here to supervise the war of the Japanese soldiers with a provocative heart. As soon as they showed cowardice, they would naturally be punished with the harshest punishment by the observers, but what they never expected was that these soldiers simply ignored death. Despite their unskilled tactical movements, their spirit of not fearing death was even greater than that of the Chinese Imperial Army, and even only the Iron and Blood Army could outperform them spiritually.

When an observer couldn't help but stop a junior officer of the Japanese army and ask him why the Japanese soldiers were so afraid of death, he actually said that for the sake of his own nation to be able to rebuild the country, for the sake of His Majesty's promise. And for those Japanese soldiers who don't dodge the opponent's guns and bullets at all, the answer is even simpler, now there are such a safe weapon as anti-tank cannons to use, which is much better than their predecessors rushing to the chariot with a cluster grenade and dying with their own lives.

The simple words of the Japanese soldiers surprised the observers, this time they were surprisingly unified, and none of them said bad things about the Japanese soldiers in their reports to their superiors, but they all wrote down the thoughts of the Japanese soldiers. After receiving this report, Gao Deyu also attached great importance to it, and he printed and distributed this report to the whole army, asking the Wehrmacht troops to study it, so that the soldiers could see what the real fighting spirit looked like. Gao Deyu's comments at the end of this report are also printed: Advanced weapons are important, but if the stubborn will to fight is lost because of advanced weapons, such an army will be useless.

This report quickly reached Fang Ruijun's hands, and he also felt the same way after reading it, and he announced that this report, together with Gao Deyu's criticism, would trigger the whole army, and all the units of the Chinese Imperial Defense Force and the Guards Army should study carefully, seriously reflect on themselves, and think carefully about how to improve their will to fight and enhance their combat effectiveness, instead of blindly relying on advanced weapons.

In the leisure time of the Great War, the entire army of the Chinese Empire began to examine itself, although they looked down on the Japanese soldiers, but anyone and any nation has its merits, and only by constantly learning the advantages and wisdom of other nationalities can the Chinese continue to prosper forever.

At this time, on the battlefield in the middle lane, the Japanese soldier who said these words did not know that he had now become a celebrity in the entire military circle of the Chinese Empire. Even if he knew at this time, he couldn't care to be proud, because a million Japanese troops were fighting the fiercest attack from the millions of troops of the Boston Empire, and they had no time to do anything but fight the enemy and survive.

Under the continuous replenishment of anti-tank artillery attacks, the Boston chariots suffered heavy losses, and they were beaten down again, at this time the sun had slanted westward, and the next day's offensive was temporarily over, and after two days of fighting, the Japanese army had lost more than 100,000 people, which made the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Yamamoto Gonji Daisa, very sad, after all, these are all his people, and if they don't lose a little, the vitality of the nation will be consumed a little.
