The sky was bright, and the spring breeze from the north blew through the withered yellow meadows.

The rustling sound between the dead grass is matched by the sound of the ice on the river.

A French veteran with two recruits is planting explosives under the bridge deck.

"The bridge was blown up several times and repaired several times. It's not too much trouble to go back and forth. ”

"Huh! We fought, the Russians bombed, and the Ming people fought.

Back and forth, the bridge blew up several times and was repaired several times.

It's fucking sturdy! ”

"I thought that this bridge would be used in the future, but it only blew up a section of the bridge deck, and if the piers were not blown up, of course it would be easy to repair."

"There is only one stone bridge within a radius of 200 kilometers, of course, it must be treasured."

"Are we going to put explosives on the piers, then?"

"You're stupid!" The veteran pumped the recruit's head.

"Put explosives on the piers, and if you really blow up the bridge to the point that it can't be used, you kid will have to be shot.

All three of us are going to be shot! ”

The veteran saw that it was almost there, climbed onto the bridge deck, took out a cigarette and lit it.

While smoking, enjoy the scenery of the Ridon River in spring.

The war was fought from summer to autumn, from autumn to winter, and now from winter to spring.

The front is constantly changing back and forth, and the battle of Tsaritsyn is only three months ago.

A figure appeared at the head of the bridge, and the veteran immediately became nervous.

It is only twenty or thirty kilometers away from the front line, and this distance does not rule out that the Ming army or the Russian army will sneak in.

Pick up his rifle and aim, and if he sees an enemy, he'll shoot at once.

The machine guns on the other side of the bridge will immediately open fire when they hear the sound of gunfire.

"Click!"

"Click!"

The sound of iron palms hitting the bridge deck was elegant, and the earthy yellow military uniform gradually appeared in the morning light.

It turned out to be my own people!

The veteran breathed a sigh of relief!

A group of cavalry slowly walked past the bridge.

There were also two cavalrymen, who fell behind and looked like they had a few tens of meters to get on the bridge.

As they passed by the veterans, the cavalry nodded at them.

"Look at the people."

The two recruits, who had just climbed up, were very envious when they saw the cavalry on the tall horses.

"It must be the cavalry who went out to reconnoitre."

"You're stupid!

Cavalry reconnaissance, reconnaissance behind the battle line? ”

"Look at it, there are two other queens over there.

At first glance, you can see that this is elite.

Maybe it's His Majesty the Emperor's Praetorian Guard! ”

"They are not Janissaries, and although the horses are beautiful and tall, they are not Praetorian Guards.

I think it's a herald! ”

"There are so many people for the summons, there are more than twenty people."

"You know, important information needs to be escorted." Poor recruit, slapped again.

"How are they black-haired?"

"You're stupid! They look like the Ming people?

But they don't really look like French, they look a little bit like Italians. ”

While a few men were muttering, the two cavalrymen who were left behind had already arrived.

One of the cavalrymen smiled at the three little ones sitting on the bridge.

The veteran also nodded, holding the cigarette in the air: "Hey!

Where are you from? ”

Before the words fell, the veteran saw a bright sword light.

The huge head rose to the sky, fell on the bridge and rolled twice and fell into the river.

Suddenly, the veteran and his brother were beheaded with knives, and the remaining recruits were a little confused.

This ......, what's going on?

How do they cut their own people?

But after all, it was people who had been in the army for more than six months, and the confusion lasted only a second.

The recruit ran to the position of his machine gun, waving desperately as he ran: "Enemy attack!"

Enemy attack! ”

But it was too late for him to warn.

A platoon of machine guns guarding the bridgehead was being slashed with sabres.

The swordsmanship of those cavalrymen was very good, and the saber was drawn in circles on the wrist, and as long as it was chopped, a large human head would rise up into the sky.

Behind him came the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately rounded the knight's saber and slashed it down.

A huge wound was made in the recruit's back, and the man screamed and fell under the bridge.

The body falls into the icy water, causing a huge splash.

The blood and water stained a lot of red in an instant.

The battle at the bridgehead was over, and more than a squad of French guards were slaughtered by the cavalry in French uniforms.

From start to finish, not a single person pulled the trigger.

The screams were repeated for a split second, and the bridge quickly regained its calm.

"Quick, get the machine gun. Go and hide the horses in the woods, and Gregory will come. ”

"I really should show those Ming troops, and dare to say that our Cossack cavalry is useless.

Without us, the bridge would have been blown up long ago by the time their tanks arrived. ”

A group of Cossack cavalry, throwing the bodies of those French soldiers into the river.

There are those who have not lost their breath, and they have specially made up a knife in the throat.

Within two minutes, calm had returned to the bridgehead.

There was still a squad or so of French soldiers, guarding the machine guns.

Grigor led 800 Cossack cavalrymen and rushed to the bridgehead like a wind.

"Brothers, protect this bridge, and each person will be rewarded with two Ming silver coins."

"Good ......!"

The Cossacks excitedly raised their sabers!

At the same time that Gregory had seized the stone bridge, the French troops at the front were bombarded with the same shelling.

The first round of shelling lasted only a dozen minutes, but with large-caliber rocket artillery.

The French positions were bombed to pieces, and the barbed wire fence was blown to pieces.

Wooden stakes for holding the barbed wire fence fly, flying everywhere.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the shelling ended.

The hum of airplanes sounded in the sky, and then two Ming Stuka fighters flew over.

At the sight of the Stuka fighter, the French army's heart began to tense.

This shows that the attack on the opposite side is not the Russian army with fish belly, but the Ming army.

Stuka just circled around the position, dropped two bombs and flapped away.

", it's not good, it's the Ming army."

"Ming Army?

Hopefully there are no tanks. ”

"Hopefully!"

"If you have a tank, it's over!"

"Don't be afraid, we have infantry artillery."

A few French veterans, talking in the trenches, looked warily at the thin morning mist opposite.

A loud roar of machinery was heard from the opposite side, and the huge figure of the tank loomed in the morning mist.

The roar of the steel behemoths, with their engines, is approaching.

"Tank!" A veteran heard the sound of a tank and ran back down the trench without even thinking about it.

"Bang!" A bullet hit him in the back accurately.

"Escape, shoot!

No one was allowed to leave the trenches, and the infantry artillery was prepared. ”

The infantry artillery was copied by the French and copied by the Prussians, and was assigned to the front-line troops.

The French infantry guns were much longer than the Prussians.

Naturally, the weight is also much heavier.

Although somewhat inconvenient, it has a huge lethality to tanks within 800 meters.

During this attack, there were two Ming tanks, both of which were killed by a few infantry guns.

The Ming army tank is the kind with a round head and a round brain, and this kind of tank is very difficult to deal with.

Because of the round turret, most shells can be deflected, unless the tank is driven within 600 meters.

Infantry artillery can effectively penetrate it!

The balconies are getting higher and higher, and the sky is getting brighter.

The fog in the morning light is gradually lifting!

Seeing the shock team of the Ming army, the French troops on the front line were all stupid.

The front of the front was densely packed with tanks, and it seemed that there were more than 30 of them.

It was the first time that all the French soldiers here had seen so many tanks at the same time.

Howitzer shells, with whistles, constantly fall on the positions.

The Ming army was a kilometer away, and the Ming army was still preparing artillery fire at this time.

The shelling of the howitzers of the Ming army was very accurate, hitting artillery bunkers and open-air ammunition accumulation points.

The sound of the "crackling" explosion of the ammunition was deafening, and many French soldiers were sent into the sky by the detonated ammunition.

There was a loud roar in the sky again, and at least more than fifty Ming Stuka fighters flew over the French positions.

"It's over!" Captain Fernandez, with his mouth wide open, watched the Stukas fly overhead.

You don't have to think about it to know that these Stuka flew to the artillery positions.

At this time, the artillery positions were frantically out, shelling the attacking Ming tanks.

Soon, Fernandez's foreboding came true.

In the direction of the artillery position, a loud explosion was heard, and billowing smoke covered the sky.

You don't have to listen to the report to know that the artillery positions are finished.

With the explosion, the shelling suddenly stopped.

But in the sky, Stuka still flew overhead.

Each batch of sorties was more than ten.

The last batch of a dozen Stuka no longer flew over their heads, but took turns bombarding the infantry guns fired on the ground.

A 500-kilogram bomb can blow up a five-meter-deep crater.

The stones on the ground can fly up to a height of 100 meters.

After dropping the bombs, they will also strafe the infantry hiding in the trenches.

The poor infantrymen could only huddle in the artillery holes, watching the scorching bullets kill the brothers who did not have time to burrow into the anti-artillery holes.

The tank roared and approached, and the machine gunner simply stood behind the tank, clutching the 12.7mm heavy machine gun in both hands and firing.

In the middle of the large number of No. 4 tanks, there were several large No. 1 tanks.

Tank No. 1, without large-caliber artillery.

Only one twin-mounted twenty-five-mm rapid-fire gun!

Although the artillery is not very powerful, it is very suitable for the current battlefield.

The rapid-fire guns stared at the enemy's firing points, firing point after point.

The local machine gunners did not dare to show their heads and shoot back.

He could only carry the cumbersome Makqin machine gun and constantly change the machine gun position.

Maxim machine guns, because of the structure, generally speaking, the exposed trenches are relatively high.

The tall barrels make them a tank shell attractor.

As soon as a single Maxim is found, a string of shells will immediately hit it.

There was a Maxim, and not a single chain of bullets was hit at the same time by four tank shells flying towards it.

The Heavy is full of flesh and blood, and the Maxim parts are scattered.

The infantry, who followed behind the tank, did not have much chance to shoot at all.

It was only after the tanks ran over the French positions that they went down to the trenches and foxholes and used grenades to deal with the French who were hiding in bunkers.

When you come across a sturdy bunker, a guy with a burning firearm in his hand will walk by.

Towards the door of the underground bunker, it began to spray.

After spraying, I don't care about the people inside.

Directly arrange to blow up the hole with an explosives bag!

This is a new weapon of the Ming army, called the flamethrower.

The function of this thing is already vividly reflected in the name.

It's something that breathes fire!

In the air, it can be sprayed out for more than 20 meters.

But no one used this thing when the two armies were facing each other, and this thing was used against trenches and bunkers.

No matter how sturdy your underground bunker is, just spray it inside with this thing.

Basically, there will be no living people inside, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees will not take long for the aroma of barbecue to come inside.

Best of all, this thing can burn the air inside the bunker.

Those who were not burned to death, who had only one breath left, would be suffocated to death.

Zu Kuan looked at the map in the command car, and news came back from time to time in front of him.

"Report! Progress went smoothly, and all regiments broke through the enemy in front of them and advanced in depth. ”

Military staff officer, report to Zu Kuan on the progress of the front.

Zu Kuan looked at his watch, it had only been half an hour since the start of the war, and he had already made a breakthrough on all fronts.

"Pioneer regiment, don't care about the enemy in front of you.

Take the Don bridge directly, with the Don bridge, we will be able to quickly intersperse to Kharkov.

If there is no bridge over the Don River, we will take a pontoon bridge.

That would be a waste of time. ”

Zu Kuan knows that time is of the essence for them now.

From here to Kharkov, it is more than 300 kilometers.

But Ao Ye only gave them three days.

The offensive will take three days to advance, and it will be 300 kilometers to advance.

This is difficult for ordinary infantry divisions!

Not to mention attacking forward, even if no one stops you, you can't run 300 kilometers on two legs, and you can't run it in three days.

Even if you barely run down, when you get to the place, it is estimated that there are only two battalions left in one division.

But for a tank division, a hundred kilometers in one day is nothing.

Intensive rocket artillery fire directly detonated the mines in front of the position.

As long as the tank is free of mines, it can go on a rampage with impunity.

Those pesky infantry guns, there is no need to worry at all.

Because the air force in the sky will take care of them, no matter how powerful your infantry cannon is, a 500-kilogram aerial bomb will immediately be transformed into a part state.

The French position was like a tortoise shell!

The first layer of defense is the tightest and strongest, and the combat power is also the strongest.

But as long as this tortoise shell is broken through, the remaining French troops have no strong positions, and it will be much easier to deal with.

Wang Jinbao took his own tank and rushed to the front.

As soon as I turned around a small hill, I saw that hundreds of coalition soldiers were coming from the black press.

Wang Jinbao picked up the Aka rifle in his hand and swept it into the sky.

"Get on your knees!" It was the only French he learned.

The French soldiers were stunned for a moment, then they threw away their guns and fell to their knees on both sides of the road.
