The First Army of Ao Ye's Daming Expeditionary Force, with the coordination of the Russian army, forced Minsk to surrender.

This is not easy to bomb in the entire Western world, and everyone knows that the army of the Ming Dynasty is strong.

But no one could have imagined that the Ming army was so powerful.

In just fifteen days, the front was advanced from the outskirts of Moscow to Minsk.

During this period, Smolensk, which has always been known for its fortification, was also conquered.

In the month of the exhibition, the exhibition advanced 350 kilometers.

There are a lot of armies in Europe, this is the speed of marching, not the speed of combat. Even, in a month and a half, they may not even be able to march 350 kilometers.

The Polish royal family panicked because Minsk was conquered. Poland's 500,000-strong army was wiped out in the East!

Although Warsaw is 500 kilometers away from Minsk, there are simply not enough troops in Poland today.

If the Ming army and the Russian army were to continue the offensive, Poland would simply not have the strength to defend its own territory.

Today, Warsaw is guarded by only 20,000 people, which is a drop in the bucket for a city with a population of more than a million people.

In addition, Poland also lost too much weapons and equipment on the Eastern Front. In a short period of time, they can recruit a large number of soldiers, but they are not equipped with so many weapons.

Helpless! Poland sent Prince Ovidec, who ran to France to ask for reinforcements as soon as possible on this airship.

", let's stock up on supplies in Minsk and prepare for our next move?" Looking at the order from the General Staff, Ao Ye wanted to scold his mother.

Warsaw was four hundred and fifty kilometers away, as long as he wanted. You can hit the city of Warsaw in five days!

For five days, it is estimated that the Polish king in Warsaw will not have time to run.

But there is no way, the orders of the General Staff need to be carried out unconditionally.

"Ao Ye, the order of the General Staff. There is no way, we can only execute.

Besides, logistics do not support our march into Warsaw.

In the past half a month, we have used up hundreds of wagons of ammunition and supplies.

One of the fastest consumers is oil!

In the past, when there was a war, it was only necessary to supply ammunition and water. But now, we still have to supply oil.

Now the Middle East is not peaceful, and the tankers are not escorted by warships. It is simply impossible to come to the North Sea!

The oil we use is all transported from Daming in oil tanks.

It took a lot of money along the way, and so much equipment was too much fuel. ”

In charge of logistics, it was Zu Chengxun, who was specially transferred from China.

Thinking of the face of Zu Dashou, Ao Ye took special care of this junior.

Zu Chengxun did not live up to Ao Ye's expectations, and in just two months, he built a reliable logistics system.

Long-distance transportation relies on the Central Asian Railway, and short-distance transportation relies entirely on large airships.

For the safety of the airship, planes were specially sent to cruise on the route passed by the airship.

The poor Polish army had never seen an airplane, and their anti-aircraft guns shot whenever they saw something flying in the sky.

They shot down Russian airships, and it is said that everyone who participated in that time received a huge reward.

In their eyes, what flies in the sky is not an airplane, but a flying gold coin.

So, as long as the plane flew by, although they had never seen it, it did not delay them from shooting.

Anyway, no matter what is in the sky, there is always a benefit to beating it down.

They don't know that airplanes are not slow airships. Anti-aircraft guns are such a thing, the threat to aircraft is small.

And the plane, for them is very deadly.

Stuka let out a shrill whistling and swooped down wildly towards them. Those anti-aircraft artillery guns were scattered, even if they really shot down the plane.

It is also very likely that the plane will hit them head-on, and the twenty-five-mm anti-aircraft guns, it is simply impossible to break the plane to pieces.

Before they could finish their shells, bombshells crashed into their artillery positions with a whistling sound.

The accuracy of dive bombing is staggering!

Almost every bomb is capable of taking out an anti-aircraft gun.

The anti-aircraft artillery, which was originally robbed of fragrant gluttony, has now become synonymous with death. Many soldiers who were selected to serve as anti-aircraft artillery soldiers were mourned after receiving orders.

Some even fled quietly.

Just to not give those anti-aircraft guns a burial!

With Stuka's escort, at least the airship is safe on the route.

To a large extent, this ensured the logistical supply of the expeditionary force in a short distance.

From the outskirts of Moscow, the railway was subjected to massive sabotage. The railroad tracks are missing in many places!

Supplies all the way from Smolensk were carried out by large transport airships.

Even during the battle for the capture of Minsk, Zu Chengxun organized forty airships and successfully transported two divisions of the Russian Janissaries and equipment.

This kind of large-scale long-distance transportation is the first time in the history of the Ming army, and its scale far exceeds that of the Star Gorge.

"Ao Ye, there are still scattered Polish troops to be cleared." Song Dazhong also felt that it was better to stay in Minsk when the rear was unstable.

The Ming army marched too quickly, although most of the Polish army either surrendered or was annihilated.

But there are still a few hidden, and it's okay to shoot a cold gun and touch a whistle or something.

There are even some tenacious troops, which have retained their formation. In the rear and fighting guerrilla warfare with the Russian army, these days the Russian army is busy exterminating this group of people all day long.

Is it okay, you have to ask the Ming army to go out.

"Humph! Since this is the case, then Song Dazhong, you are responsible for directing the Russians to suppress the bandits.

Zu Chengxun, if you want to have less logistical pressure, you can quickly get someone to repair the railway from Moscow to Minsk.

There was labor in the prisoner of war camp, and they could not be allowed to eat and work for nothing. ”

The two right-hand men all stopped Ao Ye, which made Ao Ye very helpless.

The lack of logistics and the guerrillas are indeed problems that need to be addressed urgently. Otherwise, it is likely to affect the next campaign.

"Ao Ye!

The Russians secretly executed prisoners of war. Song Dazhong suddenly said mysteriously.

"Execution of prisoners of war? Smolensk was scourged like that, and it is no wonder that the Russians hate the Poles.

It's just a few people, it's not a big deal. Ao Ye glanced at Song Dazhong, this should not be a big deal in the war.

"It's not! It's not a few kills, but more than 3,000 were killed last night. Song Dazhong said in a low voice.

"Killed more than 5,000 in one night?" Ao Ye felt that this was a bit excessive.

These prisoners of war are all money for the Liao army, as long as they are transported back to the Ming Dynasty, they are the best candidates for mining and road construction.

Especially these people are blonde and blue-eyed, and they are different from the Ming people in appearance.

They are doing things in Daming, and there will definitely be no problem of escaping.

Because as long as they escape, they will definitely be caught back in the first place.

In the mine, there is also a road construction team that likes to use such people the most.

Now that he has been killed by the Russians, this makes Ao Ye very unhappy. They didn't kill people, but ruined the basic gains of the Liao army.

"Grandma's, you can't let them kill like this. It's all fucking done, and we still have something to do.

Seventy or eighty thousand mouths are waiting for Lao Tzu, daring to spoil Lao Tzu's money. Lao Tzu went to Kutuzov that old thing, if he didn't explain it to Lao Tzu clearly.

Fuck me! ”

I couldn't see that the money and property in my soldiers' hands were confiscated, and Ao Ye was angry.

Just when Ao Ye was angry, on the outskirts of Smolensk.

A long queue was marching, and the Polish officers were rudely escorted by Russian soldiers into the Katyn Forest.

In the Katyn Forest, a large pit fifteen meters long, three meters wide, and four or five meters deep was dug early on.

The blindfolded Polish officers were taken to the edge of the pit!

The Russian soldiers ordered them to stand against the pit, and the executioners came up.

A pistol was pressed to their heads, and a whistle sounded. Then came the dull sound of gunfire!

The bullet pierced the back of their heads, flying out from the front with broken bones and a large amount of bloody brain tissue.

The corpse is planted in the pit!

After about five minutes, the second group was brought in.

The executioners repeated the last move!

Raise the gun to the back of the head and pull the trigger. Let the corpse, itself fall into the pit.

Polish prisoners of war inside the pit, under the threat of rifles and bayonets.

Every time someone fell into the pit, they had to stack the corpses neatly like logs.

The Russian Janissaries did this not out of respect for the dead. Instead, it is neatly arranged, and more corpses can be held in one pit.

The corpses were stacked layer after layer, and soon the pit was filled.

Those Polish prisoners of war had to pick up shovels. Cover the corpses with that dirt and bury the sins of the Russians along the way.

There are no less than twenty such teams in the Katyn Forest.

Everywhere is dealing with these Polish officers efficiently!

Many Polish officers felt that something was wrong when they walked into the Katyn Forest.

But they had nowhere to go, and everyone had their hands tied behind their backs. Some people were even pushed down into the pit alive, crushed by the heavy corpses.

Eventually, they will be buried along with the corpse.

He didn't understand until the last moment of his life. Why do you want to single out all the officers in the army!

They are trying to empty the backbone of these captives!

A captive without an officer will become a true skirmisher.

There is basically no organized resistance among them, and besides, these officers are excellent military talents.

This was the quickest and most efficient way to weaken the Polish military.

The Russians have been wary of the Poles for a long time, and now there is such a good opportunity how can it be missed.

"Quick! To speed up a little further, all Polish prisoners of war must be executed within five days.

As long as the officers in the Polish prisoners of war were eliminated, it would be difficult for them to raise such a large officer corps. ”

Ekaterina, who was in charge of this operation, entered the city and Beria hurriedly urged!

This operation was initiated by him to Empress Catherine.

At the beginning of the war, although the Russian army was trained and equipped by the Ming Dynasty. But not yet an opponent of the Polish army!

The reason is simple, the Polish army has a large number of officer corps with long-term formal training.

These officer corps are not only experienced in combat, but also flexible in thinking.

On the other hand, the Russian aristocratic officer corps suffered heavy losses in all major wars.

In desperation, Russia could only promote officers on a large scale. Most of them are high-ranking officers, and some are simply officials who are bought with money.

These people basically have no military school education, and they don't know much about war.

On the battlefield, he is brave, but he knows nothing about tactics.

As for corruption, it is even more rampant in the Russian army.

Such a Russian army, although it was on a par with the Polish army in terms of men and equipment, was defeated and retreated.

Now that Russia has defeated the Poles with the help of the Ming Dynasty, Beria believes that the most important thing is to eliminate the Poles' officer corps.

As long as they are eliminated, the Polish army will become the same as the Russians.

It may take one or two generations to re-assemble an officer corps of this quality.

It also takes time to accumulate talents.

More importantly, Beria knew that Da Ming was greedy.

What he feared most was that the Polish king would spend a lot of money to redeem these people.

For the sake of the future of the country, the Polish emperor may well have done so. And with the greed for money of the Ming Dynasty, he is also likely to agree.

As a result, the final solution was quickly implemented.

These days, the Russian army is screening officers among prisoners.

It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you are an officer, you will be pulled out. Under the watchful eye of Russian GIs, he was taken to the Katyn Forest on the outskirts of Smolensk.

The gunfire in the forest continued, and Beria looked nervously at his watch.

Soon it will be dark, but in a moment more than a thousand prisoners of war will be brought in.

Every day it gets dark early, and it's even darker in the forest. Such an environment is not suitable for massacres at all.

After all, taking advantage of the dark night, running one or two is not a new thing.

Beria had already made a package deal with Empress Catherine, and he would definitely not let a single person run out and ruin the reputation and honor of the Russian military.

"You don't have to fight these, just let them stand in the pit and bury them!"

In order to save time, Beria suddenly came up with a new idea.

The Polish prisoners of war immediately kicked the sunset commanders into the pit.

The pit is densely packed with human heads, and the scene at this time can only be described as crowded.

Beria gave the order, and the Polish prisoners of war began to throw earth down with shovels.

The Polish officers, who were huddled into a lump of balls, felt the dirt thrown on them and immediately understood.

They want to resist, but there are too many of them. It's hard to turn around, let alone untie the rope with your head down.

There are still people who want to run, but how can they run away when people are crowded.

Beria saw a young officer with the rank of lieutenant, and he desperately drilled into the wall.

If possible, he would have wanted to rub his body into the dirt on the edge of the pit.

But the earth was still mercilessly covered on them, and when the soil was filled, soon the next group of Poles was brought over.

The Russian soldiers likewise threw them into the pit, and at this time it was at the feet of those Poles.

The ground beneath their feet is still squirming upwards!
