Chapter 110: Mighty Force

Zu Kuan and Heiyunlong, organizing the 1st Cavalry Division and the armored units of the 1st Army of the Expeditionary Force, began the attack on Prussian reinforcements.

The attack was very sudden, and the armored troops, which were lying in ambush for 50 kilometers on the north and south lines, rushed for an hour and a half and then smashed into the Prussian war group.

Prior to this, the Air Force had already bombed the twenty-kilometer-long marching formations of the Prussians.

It's been a day since I came out of Smolensk, and the marching distance reached eighty kilometers.

For the Prussian army, which walked only on its legs, these were already considered elite troops.

But what kind of elite troops, they will be tired after traveling 80 kilometers without rest.

In addition, they detected the movement of the Ming army's armored troops, and had no choice but to change from marching columns to digging temporary bunkers to defend them.

All this indicates that this battle is hellish for them.

For an hour and a half, there was constant harassment by warplanes in the air.

When napalm is dropped, it burns a large area.

What the Prussians needed most now was space, but they didn't have much space.

All of them had to withstand bombing, strafeing, digging their own foxholes.

In late February, the ground had not yet thawed, and the soldiers struggled to cut the frozen ground with pickaxes.

Expose the softer soil underneath to dig a hole with a shovel.

But even so, few of the exhausted troops dug foxholes to accommodate themselves before the first shells fell.

Shells whizzed down on the Prussian positions, telling them that the time had come for the Ming army to attack.

Zukuan's troops did not stop at all, and when they encountered the Prussians, they immediately attacked.

The steel monster roared fiercely in the darkness, and the artillery towed by the tractor quickly searched for the artillery position.

The wired soldier quickly pulled the telephone line, but the telephone line had just been opened, and he only had time to fire two shots.

The tank ran over the enemy's position, and was told to close the line quickly.

Damn, this phone line is white.

The advance was too fast, and the troops, according to the advance plan, quickly interspersed and cut the Prussian army.

The resistance of the Prussian army was so weak that when they rushed through their positions, many Ming troops did not get out of the armored vehicles.

They ran over the positions of the Prussian infantry directly, pounced on the Prussian command posts, logistics accumulation points, and important traffic junctions.

The Prussian soldiers looked at the Ming army like fools, Lao Tzu is here, you can't see it in that Iron King Bali?

It's not that the Ming army didn't see it, but they didn't have time to clean them up.

This time the number of Prussians was too small, and the Ming army did not bring the Russians, who were always slow to move.

When the Ming infantry, with the cooperation of armored vehicles, appeared in front of the Prussians again, they knew that the end had come.

The artillery fire was like plowing for more than ten minutes, and a lot of mines were detonated.

The improvised barbed wire fence was also blown to pieces.

Even worse were the infantry, who could only lie down in hastily dug bunkers.

Many of the bunkers were just over a foot deep, and they couldn't stop the scattered shrapnel and steel balls.

The veterans have experience and know how to squat in the "foxholes".

Many of the recruits were lying in the trenches, and after the shelling, none of the recruits were able to stand up.

The veterans also suffered heavy casualties!

The depth of those "foxholes" is simply not enough to cover their bodies.

The troops closest to Vyazma also watched the Ming fireworks display.

I also felt the warmth from napalm and thermite!

Looking at the entire Vyazma encirclement, which became a big ball of fire, everyone knew that the people there were finished.

This rescue operation has no meaning in the slightest, but will take their lives.

The Prussians' command posts were not easy to find, because their command structure was simple.

All the staff officers in the command post of a regiment add up to only about twenty people.

Moreover, the regiment commander would ride a horse, wandering from position to position, commanding the troops that were scattered or stunned.

It has to be said that the command ability of the Prussian rank and file officers is very good.

Received a sudden firepower blow from the Ming army, but it was able to maintain a formation and a chaotic formation.

Even those troops that had suffered heavy casualties under artillery shelling would have resisted with the help of this rudimentary fortification.

The command post is not easy to find, but the pill accumulation point and the logistics accumulation point are easy to find.

Because as long as there is a place like that, there will be a large number of mules and horses.

There's even an ox cart!

It is a miracle that you can march 80 kilometers in a day with an ox cart.

The Ming army doesn't care if you have a miracle or not, a group of tanks rushed over and shelled them with tanks when they saw the ammunition accumulation point.

It's still incendiary!

Amid the explosion of munitions, the Prussians' stockpiles of ammunition were exhausted.

In a sea of fire, the Prussians ran out of food.

Soldiers on the front line sadly found that they only had the ammunition they had with them. After the fight, there was no supply at all.

But in order to reduce the weight on their bodies, each of them carried only sixty rounds of ammunition.

Even a machine gun carried nothing more than a chain of 600 rounds

Six hundred rounds of ammunition ......!

In this place where frenzied shooting does not necessarily survive, the machine gunner has only six hundred rounds.

They have to deal with tanks, armored vehicles, and howitzers several kilometers away.

Ordinary soldiers are not the worst, the most miserable are the mortars of the detachments.

They have fewer mortar shells, and their wagons loaded with ammunition are the focus of the call.

As long as it is seen by the Ming army, the tank aiming is a cannon.

After the huge explosion, there was nothing.

When the infantry in front shouted for artillery support, the mortars could only watch, and they had no shells.

After an hour of fighting, the Prussian troops at the front were generally out of ammunition.

No matter how strong the troops are, it is impossible to face the steel torrent of the Ming army without ammunition.

Strong Prussians, with rifles loaded with bayonets, sapper shovels, and even large wooden clubs.

They rushed to every Ming target they could see, then were hit by bullets as they ran, or torn to pieces by the explosion.

The only fate of the fierce warrior was death, and the rest of the people raised their hands, lined up to the side of the road, and then knelt down.

Every country has warriors who are not afraid of death, and every country also has people who want to know how to live.

At daybreak, the fire in the Vyazma encirclement had not yet been extinguished.

The Prussian army, which had come to reinforce it, had been torn apart.

The gunfire was sparse, and the machine gun could only be heard at twelve or seven or MG34.

You can't hear the classic "da" and "da" sound of the Prussian Makqin at all.

The Prussians, who had reinforced the troops of these reinforcements, were ambushed by the 1st Cavalry Division as soon as they crossed the Dnieper.

The infantry on the march was ambushed by armored troops, and the tragic situation can be imagined.

What's more, the equipment of the 1st Cavalry Division was the best in the entire Ming army.

With the exception of the reconnaissance unit, all tanks in the division were tank No. 4 with five pairs of load-bearing wheels.

Their artillery, which is also a self-propelled gun of a modification of a tank chassis.

They even have a self-propelled double-two-five anti-aircraft artillery battalion!

The troops, armed to the teeth, were able to fight ambushes patiently.

This made the Prussians bitter!

Shells exploded in the crowd, and tanks and armored vehicles spewed fire snakes to sweep away the Prussian infantry.

The only mortars of the infantry can only be heard when they hit the tank, and they will be ruthlessly bounced.

Moltke trembles in the huge underground war room!

All I heard in one night was bad news!

Due to the constraints of the road conditions, the reinforcement plan he arranged was on a rolling basis.

The five divisions attacked by the Ming army were nothing more than vanguards.

Five more divisions are being prepared today, and now it seems that there is no need.

The Ming lost patience, Vyazma was finished, and the five divisions that came forward to reinforce were also finished.

He was afraid that this was the prelude to the Ming Dynasty's great counterattack, although there were two million people under his command.

But these people are all mixed, and they don't even understand the language.

Trying to organize these people together and start a campaign is simply systems engineering.

Moltke had been planning this all winter, but he hadn't finished it yet.

Fortunately, the Ming army did not cross the Dnieper.

Not even shells crossed the Dnieper!

Last night they went out to reinforce the troops on the east bank of the Dnieper, two regiments went out, and only one company returned.

These people who fled back in embarrassment seem to have only one word: iron car! Iron car!

Iron car?

Tanks for sure!

Moltke sadly discovered that the 88 guns could not solve the problem of fighting tanks very well.

Because the tank is mobile, the 88 artillery needs to be fixed.

The 88 artillery on the march had no ability to protect itself, and when it encountered aircraft and tanks, it was a proper live target.

It was not until noon that the fire in the Vyazma encirclement was completely extinguished.

The charred earth is smoky, and you still feel your feet burn when you step on it in your winter combat boots.

The trees are charred, the houses are charred, the people are charred, everything here is charred.

Li Xiao, Ao Ye, and Man Ye walked on this piece of death with their hands behind their backs!

There was a black lump lying on the ground, and it could be seen that it was humanoid.

There are black things everywhere, and if you accidentally step on it, there will be a "click" and "click" sound under your feet.

The ground is full of bones, and if you step on it, it will instantly turn into powdery ashes.

The thermite is too domineering, and the high temperature of 2,500 degrees is enough to turn a living person into a pile of white ashes.

Inside every anti-artillery hole, there is a body that is roasted on the outside and tender on the inside.

The military uniform is already soaked with grease!

Shiny!

"Up ahead, there's an underground bunker. The man who went in said that there was a platoon inside.

It's all baked!

As long as you move, the meat on your body will fall down. ”

Ao Ye put his hands behind his back, and seemed a little melancholy.

"The weapons are getting more and more powerful, and we old guys are outdated." Man Ye is also lamenting.

Li Xiao glanced at the two old guys!

Weapons are getting more and more powerful, and they are getting more and more powerful.

Individual bravery is insignificant in war.

No matter how strong a person is, he will be abused into scum in front of the machine gun.

Not to mention, tanks and armored vehicles that can abuse machine guns to slag.

I thought that napalm was already very powerful.

But now, there is such an anti-heaven thing as thermite.

Yesterday it was also doubted that this thing could burn tanks to molten iron.

Now that they have seen the scene where it was bombed, they have no doubt that even the armored units will not be able to withstand the bombardment of thermite.

Thinking about the scene of being attacked by thermite, both of them shuddered.

"What is thermite!

Science will continue to advance in the future, and one day there will be a kind of bomb.

An explosion is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of tons, or even millions of tons, and tens of millions of tons of explosives exploded together.

On the ground, a mushroom cloud rises out of thin air.

Black smoke swept up into the air with flames at a height of thousands of meters, and everything within tens of kilometers of the ground would be destroyed.

A living person will turn to ashes in an instant, and then be blown away by the wind, as if he had never been in this world.

After the explosion, it will rain black in the sky.

People who have been watered by this rain will have all kinds of strange diseases on their bodies.

The tumor grows all over the body, the nose bleeds constantly, and most people die within a few months to a few years.

Just one such bomb can destroy a city.

That kind of tragic situation is 10,000 times more tragic than it is now. ”

Li Xiao seems to be fully mentally prepared for the tragic situation in front of him.

He was calm and terrible, and he was talking about even more terrible things.

"Really...... Will there really be such a weapon? Ao Ye grunted and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

"There will be, and as long as science continues to develop, there will be one day.

But even with such a powerful weapon, the decisive factor in determining the outcome of the war is people!

Because, weapons are used by people. ”

Li Xiao clenched his fists confidently!

The reason why the nuclear balance was formed in later generations was because the five rogues all had nuclear weapons.

This world is different, and Daming is unique in science and technology.

Li Xiao will not let any country master nuclear weapons, and the goal of the Ming Dynasty in choosing the enemy is very clear.

That's powerful!

As long as you are strong, you will be attacked by the Ming.

In every way!

Countries that are capable of developing nuclear weapons can only be greeted with destruction.

"The secrecy of tanks does not last long, and even the secrecy of airplanes does not last long.

We lost a lot of tanks on the battlefield and a lot of planes.

According to the intelligence services, PhDs from the University of Paris, Cambridge, Oxford, and the University of Berlin are working day and night.

I believe that in the near future our opponents will also have planes, tanks, powerful howitzers.

It's as if when we have guns, the enemy will soon have them.

We'll always have better, though.

It's like thermite!

There's so much more!

The Jinzhou Research Institute is working on something similar to a rocket.

Although it is very immature now, it is the master of the future battlefield. ”

"What is so powerful!"

"Thousands of miles away to take the head of a person still needs to be studied, but a kilometer or two away to kill a tank is already about to be realized."
