Chapter 613: Hold on to Minsk (Part I)

Song Mingxuan nodded: "Yes, the task must be completed, but it is difficult to survive half a month like this, we must send a force to attack the opponent's logistics line." With so many large armies dispatched, the pressure on logistics is very great, and if we can hold them back, we will be able to hold them back. ”

Dong Guicheng gritted his teeth and said: "Just listen to Brother Mingxuan, I will stick here, Brother Mingxuan will lead the team to jump to the outside line, and when the task is completed, we will retreat in two ways." ”

Song Mingxuan said: "What I mean is that I will hold on to Minsk, and now there are still 200,000 Cossack troops in the city, as long as they help, it is still certain to hold here for half a month." Both of them were very aware of the danger of holding on to Minsk, and when they heard Song Mingxuan's words, Dong Guicheng wanted to stand up and argue.

Song Mingxuan pressed Dong Guicheng's shoulder and said: "You and I are good brothers who are born and die, you don't need those politeness, your brain is flexible enough, and you can play a greater role in the outside line, as long as you can destroy the other party's logistics and supplies as much as possible, it will help me a lot." ”

Looking at Song Mingxuan's resolute face, Dong Guicheng thought about it for a long time and nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the outer line, but the 119th division is left for you, and it's enough for me to bring two divisions." ”

Knowing that the troops in his hands were stretched, Song Mingxuan was not pretentious and nodded directly and agreed: "Okay, just leave the 119th Division behind, but you also have to take care, you must come back alive." ”

Dong Guicheng smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, I will definitely come back alive to see you." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the Axis army had not yet approached the city of Minsk, Dong Guicheng commanded two divisions of troops and brought enough ammunition to feed them. As a senior officer, he knew very well in his heart that if the empire could survive this war, the Chinese empire would be invincible in the entire world, and if it failed, the empire could only hope for Fang Xiaoyu's return.

"Now it's time to talk to him." No matter what the result is, Song Mingxuan has to fulfill his duties, and what he has to do now is to use all the strength he can use to stick to Minsk for half a month, as long as he gains these time, I believe that Gao Deyu can make sufficient preparations for war.

"Admiral Chuikov, I think you have received a notice from Your Majesty." Now that the situation is in crisis, there is no time to be polite, so after coming to the Cossack Army Headquarters, Song Mingxuan asked straight to the point in the first sentence.

Stationed in Minsk is the 60th Army of the Cossack Army, and the commander of the group army is General Chuikov, hearing Song Mingxuan's words, he nodded slightly: "I have received an order from His Majesty, I will fully cooperate with the military aspect, from now on, the 60th Army will be completely under your command." ”

Chuikov knows that the current situation is very grim, and there is no room for the slightest hesitation, and the armies of both sides can only resist the invasion of the Axis army by twisting into a rope, so he doesn't care that the other party is just a lieutenant general, since he has the will of His Majesty the Emperor, he will only obey unconditionally, not to mention that he still admires these Chinese Imperial generals with strong command ability.

Song Mingxuan nodded and said, "Okay, since this is the case, the staff departments of both of us should be unified together and jointly command this big battle." ”

The war was tense, the work of unified command on both sides was very cooperative, anyway, the Cossacks were quite familiar with the Chinese language, there was no language communication barrier between the two sides, after the division of labor was clear, the joint staff was quickly established, and as soon as he came into contact with the staff system of the Chinese Empire, Admiral Chuikov realized how ignorant he was before, and how rough the command system was, which made him more confident in the command system of the Chinese Empire.

After unifying the command system, Song Mingxuan immediately redeployed his troops, using the basements, underground waterways and subways scattered throughout the city in Minsk, as well as the numerous reinforced concrete buildings and barricades on the ground, all of which were dispersed into the city to reduce casualties caused by the enemy's superior firepower.

The deployment of the Sino-Colombian coalition was very fast, and when the dust rose on the western horizon and the Axis troops were in the vanguard of the city, all the troops holding Minsk were already in place, and they were reasonably distributed throughout the city, fully ready for battle.

"Start attacking." Lieutenant General Clark, commander of the 13th Boston Imperial Army, gave an order, and the Axis countries fired 10,000 artillery guns in unison, and the dense artillery fire violently covered the entire city of Minsk.

Song Mingxuan, who had already considered his own lack of firepower, sent all his artillery and other heavy equipment into the underground railway station, and the troops were also hidden underground, leaving only a few observers on the ground.

The bombardment lasted for half an hour, and it was not until the bombers in the air had dropped all the bombs that the artillery on the ground stopped bombarding. "Attack." Lieutenant General Clark gave the order, and nearly 100,000 Axis troops pulled out of the straggler line and rushed towards the city of Minsk.

"The enemy is coming, get ready." The observers on the ground, despite the heavy losses, those who survived quickly informed their troops of the news, and the Cossacks and the troops of the Chinese Empire quickly rushed out of the ground and ran towards various positions.

The Axis offensive continued to run smoothly until the infantry brigade entered the city of Minsk, where they met no resistance. Under the cover of a large number of combat vehicles, the Axis troops rapidly advanced towards the center of Minsk. "Report, the enemy has come in."

After receiving the report, Song Mingxuan, who was waiting for news in the command room, nodded and said, "Let's start, let the soldiers give them a taste." ”

With Song Mingxuan's order, the NATO allies hidden in the ruins began to counterattack. Merrick walked behind an M4 tank with his gun, and he looked around cautiously, for fear that someone from the Chinese army would rush out, but it was quiet all the time.

After ten minutes of marching, the tense nerves of the Axis soldiers gradually relaxed. "Merrick, don't be so nervous, such a fierce bombardment has almost blown up the entire city, how can there be resistance." George, a self-proclaimed veteran, poked Merrick, who was still nervous, and handed over a cigarette.

Merrick took the cigarette, and George took out another match and lit it for him, and then lit a cigarette himself. Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Merrick relaxed. Blowing the smoke out of his nostrils, Merrick showed a look of intoxication: "Anyway, the cigarettes of the Chinese Empire are still very tasty. ”

George smoked his cigarette and exhaled a deep puff of smoke and said, "Yes, I really don't know why the Lu Dao wants to start a war with the Chinese Empire, isn't it good to coexist peacefully with them?" ”

At this time, the platoon commander in the back followed, gave George a leather whip from behind, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, we are going to conquer the Chinese Empire, as long as we win, those good things made by the Chinese Empire will be ours." ”

Merrick pursed his lips and whispered, "I don't know who will win, is it impossible for people to make mud." ”

At this moment, a crisp gunshot came, and George's eyes, who were squeezing his eyebrows with Mike, instantly froze, and the platoon commander, who was talking eloquently just now, had already appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and a large piece of skull in the back of his head had been torn off, and a large mass of brains mixed with blood spurted out several meters, spraying several people behind him into bloody people.

"There is an enemy attack." Merrick let out a scream and threw George, who was still stunned, to the ground. Fortunately, they moved fast enough, and the gunfire was like a starting gun, and the dense bullets in the surrounding buildings and ruins fired at the marching Axis soldiers, and immediately swept down a large number of people.

As soon as the marching Axis soldiers let their guard down, they were immediately met with a head-on attack, and in some of the remaining reinforced concrete buildings, NATO soldiers condescended over the covering vehicles in front of them, spilling bullets on the unprotected infantry behind.

Seeing the infantry attacked, the M4 tank in front hurriedly turned the turret, looking for a target to fire, at this moment, four rockets with a long trail across the space of hundreds of meters, almost simultaneously hit the vehicle, just when it was hit, the vehicle exploded with orange flames, and the entire turret was directly overturned and smashed on a still smoking ruins.

Axis troops marching throughout the city of Minsk were attacked in a similar manner, and the Axis soldiers, caught off guard, soon suffered heavy casualties.

"Go on the offensive." Lieutenant General Clark, who received heavy casualties from his men, relied on the intensification of the offensive and threw three divisions of reserves into the city, in an attempt to crush the opponent's resistance with a numerical advantage.

"The whole army is ongoing." Under the command of Lieutenant General Clark, the heavy equipment that fell behind began to slowly advance towards the border area of the city.

"Ahh A Axis soldier was shot through the chest with a bullet in the chest, and he died with only a scream. A terrified Merrick dragged George along and hid behind a pile of rubble.

"You're alright." Merrick asked worriedly.

George nodded, "It's okay, but you seem to be hurt." ”

Hearing George's words, Merrick felt a tingling in his head, and he reached out to touch his cheek, and found that his hands were stained with blood, and he realized that his head was injured. Finding that Merrick was injured, George quickly took out a first-aid kit and bandaged him, but when he bandaged Merrick, George's body was slightly taller, and with a crisp gunshot, George stopped moving as if he was frozen.
