Chapter Thirty-Six: Accidents Everywhere
Napoleon had just stepped on his horse when the roar of an engine could be heard in the sky.
A large crowd of Stuka flew out, forty or fifty of them.
The French army in retreat, anti-aircraft artillery fire also ran away.
Without anti-aircraft fire on the ground, these Stukas raged in the sky like locusts.
That ghostly shrill chirp was a nightmare for the French army.
The few anti-aircraft guns that were left to crumble into a pile of fragments in this sharp chirp.
Those anti-aircraft artillery pieces naturally turned into piles of minced meat.
The dive bombing greatly improved the accuracy of the bombing, and Stuka could see clearly in the sky.
Bombs are dropped on narrow roads or at intersections.
Pilots cannot communicate with each other verbally, but they can use gestures to convey information.
The five Stukas were a formation, forming a group to attack the retreating French army.
The bombs were dropped, and the machine guns swooped down.
The machine-gun bullets also ran out, and with wings fluttered they flew back to the front-line airfield on the east bank of the Volga.
Anyway, it's only sixty or seventy kilometers away, and you can fly back in just ten minutes.
Reloading and refueling, more than 20 minutes, Lao Tzu came back.
Keep dropping bombs and strafing!
The road was blown up, and the French soldiers had to flee for their lives in the fields on the side.
The rugged wilderness greatly depleted the physical strength of the French soldiers.
Along the way, countless French soldiers could not run. I sat on the ground and rested for a while, but after a while, the poisonous gas chased after me like maggots on the tarsal bones.
The French soldiers could only stand up and run, people would get tired, but the wind would not.
The poisonous gas followed unhurriedly behind, engulfing some guys who couldn't really run from time to time.
As long as you are caught up by poison gas, take a few puffs.
People start coughing violently, and then they can't escape.
Many Sharmas from England were stuck in carriages and stuck in the road, and when the poison gas came, they could only neigh and jump helplessly.
The concentration was too great, and Sharma, who was huge, couldn't last a few minutes.
Napoleon led his guards and galloped across the field. The inside of the crotch was already slimy, and blood was leaking through the pants, staining the saddle red.
But now there is no way, they are all running for their lives.
The pain of hemorrhoids made Napoleon very much want to commit suicide.
Several times he stretched out his hand to his waist with the gun, but he held back.
Behind him, Frion was always looking at the sky, for fear that this cavalry unit would attract the attention of the Ming plane.
No matter how fast the cavalry is, it can't run as fast as the plane.
The Ming army threw too many poison gas bombs, so much that the concentration lasted for a long time.
The people and animals who were blown by the wind for 40 kilometers and were devoured by the poisonous gas along the way all died miserably on the road.
Because the concentration of poison gas was too high, these people did not suffer much.
Two days later, the wind blew away the thick poisonous gas. Stiff corpses, stretching from Tsaritsyn to forty kilometers away.
Inside the command headquarters, Li Xiao, who watched the planes take off and land, secretly hated.
At this time, if Ao Ye and Man Ye's tank troops are here, they will pursue with the tail of the French army.
Regardless of whether the French army is one million or two million, there are basically not a few people left after chasing Kyiv.
From then on, the initiative on the Russian battlefield was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
But this can only be thought about, and now Ao Ye and Man Ye are launching a feint attack on the Israelis position according to the predetermined plan.
Now it is impossible to pull out all at once and launch an attack on the retreating French army.
And so the Battle of Tsaritsyn ended unexpectedly!
The Ming army defending the railway station, plus some 03 troops, more than 7,000 people. Smoked alive by the gas bombs dropped by the French!
Many soldiers were smoked to death in bunkers.
They were huddled into a lump, and some even wore gas masks.
However, the French threw it away, and Daming threw it again.
The concentration of poison gas is so high that even a pig's mouth gas mask has no way to deal with this concentration of poison gas.
The casualties of the Russian army were three times that of the Ming army, and the Russian army also had two temporary field hospitals that were not evacuated in time when the poison gas hit.
In just one night, the Ming and the Russians suffered more than 35,000 casualties.
However, the French did not take advantage of it, and more than 40,000 French people were engulfed in poison gas in Tsaritsyn alone.
Chased by poison gas along the way and bombed by planes.
No less than 20,000 people were lost.
In this battle, Napoleon's losses were close to 70,000 men.
If you add two months ago, the battle on the Tsaritsyn perimeter began.
Napoleon's losses, I'm afraid, exceeded 300,000 people.
Tsaritsyn didn't have to defend it, because no one could get in.
The whole city became a huge pool of poison gas, even if they were dressed in cotton clothes.
The dust contaminated with poisonous gases is blown up by the wind, and it also burns people's skin.
Napoleon was also a ruthless man, after the initial chaos. He quickly reorganized his troops and did not give the Ming a chance to pursue.
At the same time, heavy forces were defended in the Kursk and Omul directions.
The whole army retreated on a rolling basis, until it retreated for 300 kilometers, and it was only when it was pushed to Voronezh that it could be considered to be on its footing.
The troops were still building new lines of defense, and His Majesty the Great Emperor had already had to fly back to Paris by airship to be treated by doctors.
Hemorrhoids, already going to torture Napoleon to madness.
In this battle, the collision between France and the Ming Dynasty in Tsaritsyn. Great sacrifices were made on both sides!
In two and a half months, the Ming army invested more than 400,000 troops.
The total number of casualties is more than 150,000!
Before this, the Ming army had never experienced such a tragic battle.
Many recruits only take four or five months from enlistment to sacrifice.
There are even some recruits who have been in the army for three months and receive death notices at home.
The enlisted army was sent to the Xi'an Rehabilitation Center, and after two months of training, he was sent to the Tsaritsyn front.
As soon as they entered the battlefield, they were blown away by shells.
A young man left the house and three months later became a jar of ashes.
No one can accept such an outcome!
In fact, there is another tragic fact that they can't tell their families, many of the soldiers have been blown apart when they die.
The ashes contained in the white porcelain ash jar are actually the corpses of those who converged on the battlefield and don't know whose it was.
Anyway, I picked it up and refined it, and some of the ashes were just to be explained.
No matter how tragic the battlefield is, there will be survivors who will survive.
Ding San and the old monkey are such survivors!
At first, the phone was still connected, and you could contact the rear by phone.
But there was a fire on the banks of the Volga River, and even the best telephone lines were burned.
Communication in the rear was cut off, and a layer of yellow-green poison gas was on the ground. The brothers can only hold on to the water tower!
Watch as swarms of Stuka fly over their heads, as they look at piles of corpses on the ground.
There are so many corpses, not only human but also all kinds of animals.
Crows, rats, cows, and horses.
There are the most rats, and there are dead rats almost everywhere.
Now there are so many dead people, and no rats come out to gnaw.
They all thought that all the people in Tsaritsyn City were dead, and there was a lot of poisonous gas here, so no one dared to come in to rescue.
Although the poisonous gas was powerful, the brothers on the water tower did not have this problem.
Poison gas is heavier than air. No matter how high the concentration is, it is only more than ten meters close to the ground.
The height of the water tower is 35 meters.
The old monkey and Ding San both crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they ran to the small mezzanine on the highest level of the water tower at the first time.
Although the poison gas failed to kill both of them, the bitter cold of Russia almost killed them.
Now, I can't care about it so much.
Get some wood from underneath and gather it together and burn it.
After all, he didn't freeze to death, and the dry food on his body lasted for three days.
The dry food was not finished, and the water in the kettle had long since bottomed out.
As for the water in the water tower, the day after the war began, there was no water in the water tower.
Now, even a little bit of residual water is frozen into ice.
The brothers persevered for five days, but they couldn't hold on.
Look at the poisonous gas below, almost dispersed, wrapped up and down like a mummy, and slipped down the water tower.
