Grigory finally understood why the Ming generals looked at him with those eyes.

Jin Ge's iron horse gallops, and the snow and bright war knives dance wildly!

This scene bids farewell to the battlefield forever, at least the battlefield where the Ming people exist.

War suddenly became real at this moment!

The scene is no longer a clash of two teams of cavalry, but a world of cannonballs, bullets, and all the scorching steel that flies.

Fighting is like a quagmire of death, from which no one can be freed.

Whenever someone tried to break free, they would be dragged back by the big black hands in the quagmire, and then sink deeper and deeper until they reached the top.

Grigory never despaired, because the cavalry came and went like the wind.

If you can't beat it, you can run, this is the basic operation.

But now ......!

Eight hundred Cossacks had no way to escape!

A group of dozens of Cossacks who tried to flee to the bridge had just emerged from the woods on their horses.

was targeted by two Makqin, and the two Maxims only took a few minutes.

Dozens of people, including men and horses, fell to the ground.

It's like they just shot those French infantry!

The ground was littered with dead men and dead horses, just stacked on top of the French soldiers they had killed.

In just ten minutes, they completed the role transition from killing to being killed.

Gregory lay in the woods and prayed to all the gods he knew, hoping that they would protect him.

God didn't know if he heard his prayer, but the French did.

The crucial Don River bridge was attacked and occupied.

The French continued to mobilize their forces, and at eight o'clock in the morning it was no longer machine guns and mortars that attacked Grigory.

It's howitzer shells!

One hundred and twenty mm howitzers, thigh-thick trees will be uprooted with one shot.

At the stage of machine guns and mortars, Grigory could barely resist a little.

At least the rifles used by the cavalry were enough to keep the French infantry out of the woods.

But now, Gregory didn't even have the strength to fight back.

I could only watch the French, driving their men out of the woods with one shot at a time.

Or blow up into piles of debris!

Gregory felt that the gods had betrayed him, and the whole world had betrayed him.

Now I regret the impulsiveness, and it is too late to surprise the Don Bridge.

What a stupid move!

Stupidity!

The shelling stopped!

The French infantry surrounded them!

At this time, Gregory's men had almost lost eighty percent of their casualties.

Many of the remaining 100 or so people were stunned.

Even Gregory himself, now his head is dizzy.

As for the war horse, it has long been frightened and does not know where to run.

The French infantry were approaching the woods, and soon the Cossacks would be killed.

"Dada......!" The deafening roar of the engine could be heard in the sky.

A barrage of bullets struck the poor French soldiers like a crimson whip.

The French soldier who was whipped by the crimson whip was torn apart in an instant and beaten into a pile of minced meat.

There were broken corpses everywhere, and the smell of blood was so strong that people almost wanted to vomit.

The offensive of the charge collapsed in an instant.

The Stukas fired wildly, their wings flying in the direction of the artillery position.

Seeing Stuka fly away, the French soldiers were emboldened again.

The aircraft carried too few bullets to provide a sustained fire output.

After a while, they ran out of bullets and then withdrew.

The remaining French troops, actively organizing the offensive.

After all, the location of the Don bridge is too important. Rear troops, also ready to reinforce the front through this bridge.

When the upper part is pressed down to attack, the soldiers below have to tie their heads to the waistbands of their trousers to open the passage.

"Boom!" A shell suddenly exploded in the crowd of French soldiers.

Then came the second shot, the third shot ......!

Grigory, who was already waiting for death, looked at the French soldiers in surprise and was blown up by the shells.

This......!

Under the warm spring sun, Ming tanks were rumbling over the Don River bridge.

While driving, the tank guns opened fire.

Although the fire was fired during the march, the shells could not be fired at all.

But the Ming army doesn't care, as long as it fights in the general direction.

Anyway, those places are full of French.

When the first tanks drove down the Don bridge, 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns joined the fire.

The French soldiers, who had just approached the woods, were immediately beaten to the point that they were overturned.

"Reinforcements!

Our reinforcements are coming! ”

Grigory shouted frantically.

But he shouted wildly, but none of his fans cheered.

Looking back, the forest behind him was a mess.

The trees that had been blown off fell to the ground, many of them covering his men, both intact and incomplete.

The bullets on the tanks of the Ming army were fired unscrupulously.

Soon, the lighter No. 1 tank appeared.

Zu Kuan regarded these No. 1 tanks, which were fast but lacked firepower, as troops to expand the results of the battle after kicking the door open.

Although the No. 4 tank in front has sufficient firepower, it is also an excellent choice for protection.

But in terms of speed, it is not as light as the No. 1 tank!

After the general replacement of the new engine, the No. 1 tank was able to reach an off-road speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

This may not be much for road speed!

But the cross-country speed of the No. 4 tank could only reach 35 kilometers.

This is still the latest engine, many old tanks, and the cross-country speed can only reach 25 to 30 kilometers per hour.

Codenamed the Hussars, a rapid battalion consisting entirely of Tank No. 1, plunged straight into the French artillery positions and what looked like logistical supply points.

Zu Kuan also assigned the three armored infantry battalions in his hand to one battalion of the quick reaction battalion.

Many quartermaster depots and military depots do not have to be destroyed after they are occupied.

Some of those military supplies can still be seized and used.

Even if the Ming army can't use it, it can be handed over to the Russian army, which is so poor that it is almost pants.

When Dorgon was in Russia, the production standards they implemented were almost identical to those of Western Europe.

It's all technology from Kolkata and Mumbai, India!

Therefore, now the French army, the Prussian army and the Israeli army, these Western armies, their ammunition types are very similar to that of a large part of the Russian army.

The Ming army still has the situation that it cannot be used because of different calibers, but it is completely different for them.

What's more, the Ming army still has a lot of troops attached to the Ming army that need to be equipped.

According to the character of the commander, it is simply impossible to give them advanced equipment for the Ming army.

As a result, the captured equipment became the standard weapons issued to them.

Whenever you encounter a logistics supply point, there are also large military stations.

Mixed advance battalions are quickly captured, and then infantry in tracked armored personnel carriers defend the area until follow-up troops arrive.

The Don bridge, thirty kilometers from the front line.

The French could never have dreamed that only three hours after the Ming attack.

Their vanguard had already crossed the Don bridge.

Moreover, it continued to advance into the depth of the French army.

Many French troops encountered the Ming armored units without receiving any orders or reports of the enemy's situation.

Tank No. 1 was somewhat weaker in firepower, with only one double-two-five rapid-fire gun.

However, against the French troops, who were unprepared and lacked anti-tank weapons, they were demonic.

The double-two-five rapid-fire gun has both an ultra-high rate of fire and accurate point fire.

Although it was not enough to deal with strong fortifications, it was enough to deal with the unprepared French, who had only tents and sandbag fortifications.

Not only is the firepower of the Type 1 tank fully output, but the armored vehicles that follow behind, those 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns are also constantly output.

Pity the French soldiers stationed in the field, forty kilometers behind the front-line position, completely unprepared for engaging the enemy.

A battalion of troops, quickly routed.

The soldiers scattered and fled, becoming targets for the Ming army.

It is impossible for a man to run faster than a tank, and even less to withstand a 25-mm rapid-fire gun and a 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

When people flee, they often like to follow the crowd.

In other words, whichever way most people run, the rest will follow like headless flies.

After the people are gathered, it can only bring more heavy casualties.

One battalion had only been pursued for more than twenty minutes, and more than half of them had already suffered casualties.

Many soldiers who collapsed simply threw away the guns in their hands and knelt down in the field waiting for the Ming army to be captured.

In such a situation, the Ming army usually ignored them.

They were given the order to assault, to advance, to continue to advance until the tank could not move.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Yesterday evening, Napoleon organized his senior staff officers for an evening of war judgments.

There were many arguments at the meeting, but the main ones were in support of His Majesty's assertions.

The Ming army obviously wanted to attack Kursk on the central front, and the French army could break the expectations of the Ming army as long as they organized a heavy group to move north.

Moreover, this can not only encircle and annihilate the Ming Russian coalition forces on the central front.

And it was also able to tear a huge hole in the front and secure the flank of the French army on the southern front.

The Franco-led coalition on the southern front had a terror force of 2.1 million men.

Dividing 300,000 troops to go to the northern front does not seem to be a big problem.

So Napoleon wrote an order for the First Army, which had left Kharkov and was heading north, to continue its advance north.

Until the convergence with the Israeli army, a joint attack on Kursk.

Be sure to completely annihilate the enemy forces in the Kursk region.

Then, in cooperation with the Israeli army, they attacked and advanced in the direction of Ryazan with all their might.

Cut off Moscow's logistical supplies, assist the Prussian army, threaten Moscow from the flank rear.

If all goes well, the Battle of Moscow will be possible in the summer.

At that time, the Ming army and the Russian army will be in an extremely unfavorable situation.

They would be split into two sections and eaten by the Northern Coalition led by the Prussians, and the Southern Coalition, led by the French.

Perhaps, the vested interests of the battle will also be distributed according to the results.

After an evening of meetings, Napoleon was sleepy.

His head was glued to the pillow and he immediately began to snore.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

"What's the matter!" People who sleep soundly are suddenly woken up, and there is always a lot of wake-up gas.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our troops on the Don front have been attacked.

The latest news is that the tank units of the Ming army have crossed the Don bridge and begun to attack on the west bank of the Don.

Our army is ...... and is in the midst of a rout. ”

Leclerc's voice came from the phone, and the bravery of the Battle of Tsaritsyn made him the chief of the General Staff of Napoleon's command.

He knew that Napoleon had just slept for less than two hours, and that Leclerc had been woken up from his bed by the guards half an hour earlier.

After hastily communicating with the front line by telegram, Leclerc felt that the matter could not be delayed any longer, and that it must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor.

The purpose of the enemy army is Kharkov, which they have always identified.

At last night's war situation judgment and research meeting, only Leclerc insisted on sticking to the Kharkov strategy.

But the soldiers, who were more like politicians, all gathered around His Majesty the Emperor, and touted Napoleon's plans.

No one heeded Leclerc's warning, but it was only one night, no, just a few hours.

Leclerc's warning became a fact, and the armored forces of the Ming army, which had been hidden for a long time, appeared!

From now on, their offensive targets can only be...... Kharkiv!

"What time is it?" Napoleon asked Leclerc with a frown.

"Eight-fifteen, Your Majesty!"

"In just one night, they advanced thirty kilometers.

And also on the defensive front of ten of our divisions!

Are the hundreds of thousands of people on our front line all pigs? Napoleon was so angry that he almost jumped up.

That's ten divisions on the defensive, more than 100,000 people.

How could the Ming army advance more than thirty kilometers in one night.

And the fucking capture of the Don bridge, are the people who guard the bridge stupid? They don't know about laying explosives on top of the bridge?

The voice on the phone made Napoleon even more devastated.

"Uh...... Your Majesty the Emperor, they are on the offensive from about five o'clock in the morning.

It should be just over three hours now. "Leclerc had a bit of a hard time saying that, it was a fucking shame.

"Three hours?

They had advanced thirty kilometers in three hours, and this was fucking marching speed, not attack speed.

Send people, go to the front now.

Shoot Abbot, shoot him immediately. ”

Napoleon held the phone and roared hysterically.

An army of more than 100,000 people broke through more than 30 kilometers in three hours and captured important bridges.

Moreover, follow-up troops continue to penetrate through these bridges.

This is the fucking troops, and the mud troops are stronger than them.

If the commander of the Third Army, who was in charge of the defense line on the Don, Abbock, had stood in front of him, he would have shot this bastard among bastards at once.

"Your Majesty, I think it's time to transfer the First Army that went north back to Kharkov." Leclerc carefully reminded His Majesty the Emperor not to stick to the plan to go north.

The 1st Army should be transferred back and enriched to Kharkov.

Otherwise, after the fall of Kharkov.

Fifteen divisions of the Third Army on the entire Don defense line will fall into the encirclement pocket of the Ming army.

That's an army of 170,000!
