Chapter One Thousand and Nine

Austria-Hungary attacked every day, but each time it stopped in front of the fortified Hebrew fortresses.

The continuous casualties made the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph unable to sit still. He had to come to Paris in person and ask Zheng Sen for help.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you know, you can't get any assistance here.

But now that you're here. You can't run for nothing!

You can go to Crete, where the naval commander of the empire, Admiral Li Xiu, was there. If he agrees, you should get some support.

However, ......, the commanders around us were a little tight. Zheng Sen stroked his fingers.

Franz Joseph glanced at Zheng Sen, these greedy Ming people. The high-interest war loan did not satisfy their appetite either, and now they want to make another one.

However, the situation is pressing, and in the Crimea Franz Joseph has already bet on his old book.

Now Franz Joseph is like a gambler who goes to the table and loses red-eyed. Li Xiu is his only lifeline.

Crimea in July was the hottest time of the year, and countless Hebrew soldiers slept shirtless in the filthy trenches.

Outside the trenches, there were countless flies circling. As soon as you walk to the edge of the trench, the flies will rise into the air like black clouds.

A kilometer in front of the trench, there were all corpses. Some of them died early, and their bones were rotten.

The smell of rotting corpses is still spicy to the eyes from a thousand meters away. As a last resort, when the soldiers went out to work as observation posts, they all had to wear gas masks.

Before the war, the Hebrews secretly built a defensive line here. Every three kilometers of the defensive line, there were large pillboxes.

The bunkers are all made of reinforced concrete, and the protrusion from the ground is only about one meter high.

The walls of the bunkers were up to a meter thick, and each bunker had two machine-gun perforations and three artillery perforations.

Austro-Hungarian shells also hit bunkers at one time. But even a 130-millimeter shell hit it, it only gnawed off a layer of skin from the bunker.

Austria-Hungary also once thought about covering the bombardment bunker with heavy rocket artillery. It's a pity that rocket artillery is really not accurate.

I hit it several times, but I didn't hit it directly. The damage to the bunker is very limited!

These bunkers, combined with the trenches, could easily contain the Hungarian offensive and inflict heavy casualties on the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

After twenty days of fierce fighting, the Hebrews also knew that their bunkers could withstand enemy fire.

So much so that Ben. Gurion felt that the war was almost won.

But in the early hours of the morning, a huge explosion sounded the sound of this . Gurion woke up from his sleep.

"Look, Commander!" A soldier pointed to the sea in horror.

Root. Gurion saw a huge battleship floating on the sea and raised the telescope in his hand.

I saw the triple guns on the battleship shoot out huge flames, and the smoke flickered away. But just a minute later, a deafening explosion erupted from his position.

The earth kicked up by the explosion flew more than 100 meters into the sky.

The bunker, where the 130-mm guns could not help, was turned into a large pit more than ten meters deep after being empowered by the shells.

Whose cannon is this, it's so powerful.

This question is only in the present. Gurion's head circled in for a few seconds before he had the answer, this is the battleship of the Ming Dynasty.

Legend has it that this type of battleship had a frantic 460 mm gun.

The bunker that the 130-mm guns could not deal with, the 460-mm guns did not hinder.

And the bunker doesn't move, which naturally increases the hit rate.

The Ming people have joined the war!

They really sent troops to participate in this war!

Root. Gurion watched in shock as his elaborate bunkers were knocked open one after the other, like open cans.

In the distance, above the battleship, a blimp floated.

I really wanted the anti-aircraft guns to knock this thing down, but unfortunately the distance was too far and the double two-five anti-aircraft guns couldn't hit it at all.

This is what indicates where the shells will land. Let the guns on the warship constantly correct the trajectory.

Countless Hebrew soldiers came out of the bunker, and they scurried around like rats.

The power of the 460 mm cannon is so great that even if it is a hundred meters away, it can shock people to death.

As long as the shell hits the bunker, the people who don't come out inside will never come out.

Not even the body could be found, the broken parts on the ground, God knows whose it was.

"Da Ming has joined the war, what should I do?" Victor pulls Ben. Gurion's clothes.

"Nope! It was not the Ming who entered the war, but the Ming sent warships to help Austria-Hungary. Little Rothschild didn't know when, suddenly appeared in Ben. Behind Gurion.

"It must be the Ming people who took the money from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, these Ming people are always so greedy."

"Order the soldiers, hold the trenches. We've got reinforcements too! Rothschild Jr. smiled and encouraged Victor.

"Reinforcements? It's true? "Victor is a little unconvinced, Israel has already bet all its forces on it, how can there be reinforcements?

"Really, I don't lie to you!" Little Rothschild had a mysterious smile on his face.

With the help of the Ming battleships, Austria-Hungary once again attacked. The Hebrews, having lost their bunkers, began a real bitter battle.

The position was broken through at one point, and white-knuckle battles took place in many areas.

Unfortunately, in the end, it was the frantic counterattack of the Israeli army that fell short.

The last bunker was knocked out, and the battleship's mission was accomplished. This is already the biggest concession Li Xiu has made!

The price paid by Austria-Hungary was the right to use the port of Bucharest for fifty years.

Strangely enough, the Hebrews suffered heavy losses. But every time the sun rises again, new soldiers join in.

These soldiers were also Hebrews, but it was evident. These soldiers are much more well-trained and far more capable of fighting than those armies that have been improvised and cobbled.

Even if the Ming battleships blew down those damn bunkers, Austria-Hungary was still slow to combat in close quarters.

However, compared to the previous few days, the situation is much better. At the very least, it was no longer a one-sided massacre, but a mutual casualty on both sides.

Sevastopol became a real mill of flesh and blood. Every morning a group of soldiers entered the trenches, and by the time they withdrew in the evening, there was very little left.

The war was fought to this point, which Li Xiao and even the whole of Europe did not expect.

Austria-Hungary could not withstand such casualties. Franz Joseph, who was so overjoyed, also had to reconsider whether this war should be fought or not.
