Chapter 550: Russia's End

The Nantes Volunteer Army was defeated by the Condor Legion, although they also relied on their own aircraft performance, and luckily shot down a few Jarman planes, but on the whole they were still defeated very badly, and only 21 of the 80 fighters of a wing barely returned to the airport, and the Condor Legion became famous in a battle.

The air battle was in full swing, the fighting on the ground was equally fierce, and under the cover of heavy artillery, the government forces of the Reese army forced their way across the Douro River, only to be hit by heavy fire from the rebels. Although Alberta's 77th Army lacked heavy firepower, the light weapons were the latest Wave-made Garand semi-automatic rifles, and the firepower density was still quite strong, which was slightly better than the Yaman-made Wolf semi-automatic rifles of the Reese government army.

The Reese government army launched a river crossing attack without fear of death, and a large number of soldiers were killed in the river, and the blood stained the river red, but the rebels held the river bank firmly, so that the Reese could not cross the Douro River even a single step.

But the attack of the Reese army was not useless, in order to stop the attack of the Reese government army, the rebels had to leave the anti-artillery hole, stand up in the trenches and shoot, they were also killed by the heavy artillery of the Reese army, Alberta's forces began to strain, and he had to replenish the recruits who had not yet completed training to the front line.

The Reese offensive slowed down the rebel offensive and forced Admiral Franco to deploy troops to deal with the threat from the west, which reduced the pressure on the Cerro army, and after a respite, the government forces were able to consolidate a new defensive line, and the battle quickly reached a stalemate. Although the rebels continued to train new recruits, they still could not compare with the Cerro and Reese government forces, and although the 40th Army finally conquered the port of Badalona after half a month, it did not help much in the war situation.

The stalemate in the civil war in the Cerro Kingdom was in a hurry for the Boston Empire, which planned to fight a quick victory, especially after the Chinese Empire delivered a batch of Lightning and Golden Eagle 3 fighters to the Cerro Kingdom, the government army's air force began to gradually improve, plus a batch of MC202 fighters supported by the Grand Duchy of Sardinia and the DO17 bombers of the Yaman Empire, the government army even gained the upper hand in the air.

After a long time, the shortcomings of the small number of rebels were gradually revealed, and the government forces even showed signs of a counteroffensive, so Bauer, the deputy prime minister of the Boston Empire, hurriedly flew to the Nantes Empire to urgently negotiate countermeasures with allies.

This civil war in the Kingdom of Cerro was the first head-to-head confrontation between the Central Powers and the Axis powers, and both sides wanted to overwhelm each other in momentum, so naturally they did not give in to each other. Moreover, the civil war in Cerro was also very important to the strategic posture of both sides, and if the Central Powers won, they could drive a nail in the flank of the Nantes Empire, so that even if the other side declared war with the Central Powers, they would not be able to fight the enemy with all their might. If the Axis wins, the strength of the Allies will be fully reduced, the western coastline of the entire Western Continent will be controlled by the Axis Powers, and the fleets of the three countries will also be difficult to take care of, and the Nantes Empire on land can concentrate on dealing with the threat of the Yaman Empire.

At this time, a tornado in the western part of the Boston Empire caused a lot of casualties, with more than 2,000 deaths, tens of thousands of missing and injured people, and hundreds of millions of dollars in direct economic losses. This storm did not make the Boston Imperial Government sad, but on the contrary, it made them feel like a treasure, and under the pretext of the domestic disaster, the Boston Empire found itself a step down and completely cut off its support for Russia.

In order to fully intervene in the civil war of the Sero Kingdom, the Boston Empire chose to abandon Russia, which was no longer useful. And after the Boston Empire interrupted the supply transportation to the Paladin's Fort, Ivan VI still did not attack the Russian army, they still held their positions and were not in a hurry at all.

A week later, the Paladin's Fort was running out of food. In desperation, the three million Russian troops had no choice but to start the battle to break out. In order to break out, all men, women, and children were mobilized, and they picked up everything they could find to replace them without weapons, kitchen knives, rolling pins, chair legs, and even bricks became the only weapons in their hands.

The armies were no better than the civilian population, and the months of bombardment had cost them all their heavy equipment, and the soldiers had only semi-automatic rifles and a meagre supply of ammunition in their hands.

Even the attacking force, with such a rudimentary weapon, after surpassing 10 million people, still made the Cossack soldiers besieging the Paladinburg a little overwhelmed. These hungry and red-eyed Russian troops and civilians, without any tactics or formations, only launched a full-line assault on the positions of the Cossack army with the belief that they would break out of the encirclement and find food.

In the face of the breakthrough of the Russian army, the Cossack army will not be soft, and soon all kinds of artillery began to roar, and the gunners did not have time to aim, in fact, they did not have to aim, as long as they kept hitting the shells, they would always blow down a large group of people, in fact, the front of the entire defense line was already densely covered with people.

The Cossack Imperial soldiers who were stuck in the bunkers did not dare to be careless, they used all the weapons they could use to shoot desperately, and the soldiers who were resting in the rear barracks quickly entered the position, but their total number was only more than 200,000 after all, and in the face of more than 10 million charging troops with the determination to die, it was difficult for them to stop even if they tried.

Gradually, the barrels of the Cossack corps began to turn red, the artillery began to get hot, and the density of firing slowly decreased. After sacrificing countless soldiers and civilians, the Russian army finally approached the Cossack army's defense line, seeing that the hope of breaking through was gradually approaching, the Russian soldiers and civilians shouted excitedly and accelerated their pace, and the Cossack army defense line was already in danger.

At this time, the unique roar of jet planes resounded across the land, and the huge Kunpeng 3 bomber of the Imperial Chinese Air Force finally took to the air. For such a large-scale decisive assault of the Russian army, the Cossack army lacked psychological preparation, but it did not mean that the Chinese Air Force was also unprepared.

After receiving the order for the Russian army to start breaking through, the bomber unit of the Chinese Air Force, which had been on war alert, quickly rose into the air, flew to the battlefield at the fastest speed, and finally arrived here at the most critical moment.

The Russian soldiers and civilians had gradually approached the Cossack position, and they could even clearly see the frightened faces of the Cossack soldiers in the opposite fortifications, but in an instant, their hopes turned to hell.

The Kunpeng 3 bombers began to drop a series of bombs at the forward position of the Russian offensive forces, but these bombs were not traditional high-explosive bombs, and they did not explode violently after they landed, but scattered large clouds of flames with a not-so-high-pitched explosion.

Once these flames stick to the person's body, they cannot be extinguished, they will continue to burn to the bones, until the whole person is completely burned into charcoal, this is the unique napalm of the Chinese Air Force, and it is also the most terrifying incendiary bomb in the military equipment of the whole world.

The offensive momentum of the Russian army was contained, and the terrifying flames that would not be extinguished finally made those hungry and red-eyed Russians retreat, looking at the soldiers who were burned alive, the follow-up Russian troops hesitated, they turned around and fled towards the city, never daring to break through again, but the stubborn Ulyanov was resolutely opposed to surrender, he wanted to die for the great utopian idea.

A month later, there were no more people in the Paladin's Fort, even Ulyanov himself was starved to death in his office, and only tens of thousands of Russian troops survived by eating human flesh, and these survivors were already starved to the point of inhuman form.

The Cossacks finally entered the city without blood, and the capital of the Cossack Empire, which had been occupied by the Russian army for ten years, had turned the Paladin's Fortress into a living hell. In the once bustling city, there is no complete house in sight, and there are bones everywhere, like ghosts, and even after reconstruction, the residents of this place often seem to hear faint cries and sighs at night.

After visiting the current state of the Paladin's Castle, Ivan VI did not dare to use it as the capital anymore, and finally decided to move the capital of the Cossack Empire to Moscow, and the Paladin's Castle was to be rebuilt only as an important seaport city for the Cossack Empire.

On December 27, 919 A.D., when the first snow of the winter fell in Moscow, Ivan VI officially announced the success of the Cossack Empire's counterinsurgency in his palace. In Russia, which had been attacked by NATO for a long time, the Russian army, which was recognized as having the highest morale and was the most fearless of death in the world, was actually wiped out by the NATO coalition forces led by the Chinese Empire in such a short period of time.

Military experts from various countries who have been wantonly attacking the weak combat effectiveness of the Imperial Chinese Army under the pretext of not being able to conquer Russia have only now realized that people have always teased you, but now as soon as they show their true ability, Russia will immediately soften.

For such a result, experts from various countries also vaguely guessed the reason, the Chinese Empire first wanted to consume the economic strength of the Boston Empire by fighting against Russia, the second was to use Russia to contain the Cossack Empire, and the third was to maintain the combat effectiveness of its own army, which could really be described as killing three birds with one stone.

In any case, within a few months Russia was history, and soon the merchants of the Chinese Empire entered the newly conquered territory of the newly occupied Cossack Empire, where new construction began, and Ivan VI gave them the green light, giving them the same preferential policies as the Cossack merchants, supporting the construction of the merchants of the Chinese Empire, and the Cossack Empire began to reorganize the economy and domestic infrastructure.

The Chinese Empire helped the Cossack Empire to quell the rebellion, and the northern part of the Western Continent fell silent again, except for Ivan VI who began to bury his head in the development of the domestic economy, the eyes of the whole world were focused on the Chinese Empire, which had been freed up, and it was not known whether they would intervene in the civil war of the Cerro Kingdom.
