A single thought will throw hundreds of thousands of people into the most tragic tearing up.

Twenty years ago, Li Xiao would never have had this kind of pressure.

At that time, there were only a hundred men under him.

But now ......!

He has a huge amount of power in his hands, but there is endless pressure in his heart.

Li Xiao looked at the gloomy sky until the sky gradually darkened.

For the whole night, the airships in the sky were roaring non-stop.

And, accompanied by the sound of intense gunfire.

On this night, the Ming army sent Stuka in a rare way.

The cold wind was howling, but so was the ghostly sound in the sky.

One after another, the French airships were blown out of their airbags.

The airships burned with flames, spun and crashed to the ground.

Pods with food and medicine are fine, but those with ammunition can cause a huge explosion when they fall to the ground.

Tear the airship pod to shreds.

Of course, the Ming army also paid a great price.

More than two dozen fighters ran out of fuel because they got lost, and the pilots parachuted to escape.

Fortunately, the pilots all jumped into the Daming control area. Three of the pilots fell to their deaths because of a parachute failure.

The blood of the pilots was not shed in vain!

That night, the French army received only forty percent of the supplies it had received before.

As soon as the sky dawned, the French army was ready to fight.

Last night, they were desperately digging trenches and anti-artillery holes.

Yesterday during the day, the Ming army advanced fifteen kilometers.

The French army bombarded by artillery could not raise its head, and the French artillery suffered from the inhumane bombardment of the Ming army, and could not even exert half of its combat strength.

Because Stuka, hovering like a vulture, will swoop down in the air whenever he sees the smoke from the artillery.

Then, there was the deadly bomb explosion.

The bomb was thicker than a person's waist, and it was really devastating when it fell.

The 88 guns should be used for anti-tank, and they should not be used extravagantly to fight planes.

Double 25 anti-aircraft guns, although the rate of fire is high, the caliber is too small and the lethality is limited, and ...... It's hard to get a fast Stuka to play.

The artillery did not dare to open fire, which meant that the officers and soldiers on the front line had to use their own flesh and blood to fight against the steel torrent of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming were very punctual, and at eight o'clock in the morning, the first shells landed accurately on the positions of the French.

The French had long been ready, and the anti-artillery holes were not only dug deep, but also held up with wood.

Rao is like this, the explosion sound of 120 mm shells still makes people's scalps tingle.

Some unlucky guys, the shell hit the anti-gun hole right on the top.

The anti-artillery hole was directly blown up, and the soil layer more than three meters deep directly buried people alive.

Most of the French soldiers threw away their guns and crouched in the anti-gun holes with their heads in their hands.

In the current war, guns are of little use to them.

The targets that the Ming army could hit with guns were basically bulletproof.

Even the No. 1 tank, which is known for its thin skin, will never be able to penetrate the rifle, even at a distance of ten meters.

As for the Ming infantry, those who were afraid of death, they all shrank obscenely behind the armored car.

Not to mention a rifle, even a machine gun can't do it.

The war has entered the era of artillery, and whoever has the best artillery can take the initiative on the battlefield.

At 8:15, after fifteen minutes of shelling.

Ming tanks began to charge the French positions!

On the French position, there was not a single sound.

The Ming tanks drove to a distance of 500 meters, and the French did not react at all.

Because in the sky, there are at least twenty Stuka circling overhead.

"Boom!" A tank burst into flames, followed by a "bang", and the turret was overturned.

A fire that soared into the sky, like a lit stove.

No, it's like a stove with a blower.

At a distance of 400 meters, the 88 guns still couldn't stop firing.

At this distance, the eight or eight guns are invincible.

Even the No. 4 tank with an egg-shaped turret could not withstand a blow from the 88 guns at 400 meters.

The Ming tanks caught fire and exploded one after another!

Almost at the same time, the Ming tanks also began to fire at the exposed 88 guns.

The Stuka in the sky, as if he had smelled the smell of blood, swooped down from the sky one after another.

Huge bombs fall ......!

A 500-kilogram bomb will produce a powerful shock wave after exploding.

Even if the bomb didn't hit the gun, the deadly shock wave could have knocked the gunners to death.

Zu Kuan put down the binoculars, he missed the days when there were many rocket launchers involved in the attack.

At that time, before the Ming army attacked, it would first let the rocket artillery plow the enemy's position.

After being ploughed by large-caliber rocket artillery, what a dog's eight or eight guns and those cockroach-like French soldiers.

But now, he doesn't have rocket artillery, he doesn't have enough firepower to scrub the floor.

I don't know when it began, but Man Gui has become accustomed to speaking with cannons.

As long as there are enough shells and large enough, there is no position that cannot be attacked.

It's not like now, attacking a place that is not even a high ground, and actually losing five tanks.

The family background of the first riding division is thick, and it can't stand such consumption.

Rumbling tanks and armored vehicles drove up the French positions, and with the exception of the 88 guns, Tank 4 was not afraid of any French weapon.

Bazooka, bounce off!

Infantry artillery, bounce off!

Anti-tank grenades, out of reach.

No sooner had the soldiers emerged from the foxhole than they were headshot from the 12.7mm machine guns on the tanks.

It has been two days since the start of the battle, and the French army understands the routines of the Ming army, and the Ming army also understands the routines of the French army.

Against the elusive, anti-tank guys, the 12.7mm machine gun is a good counterpart.

This thing is condescending, and the shooting blind spot is only within five meters of the tank.

It's perfect for shooting those damn French infantry.

Not only that, but the 12.7mm machine gun on the armored car was also spitting tongues of fire, shooting at everything that looked like French soldiers.

The 12.7mm machine gun on the armored vehicle is also equipped with a protective shield, which will bounce off even the occasional bullet on the shield.

Something like a machine gun, the effect can only destroy the paint on the armored vehicle.

The tracks ruthlessly ran over the French positions and began to develop in depth.

However, the French army is now fighting in great depth, and behind the first position, the second line is connected.

Trenches and foxholes were stacked on top of each other, and in some places there were even traps on which the tank tracks could be crushed and in danger of capsizing.

Yesterday, two car crews accidentally fell into the pit.

"The troops followed, and entered from the breach." Zu Kuan gave an order, and the tanks around him started one after another.

Prepare to kill all the way along the breach, directly kill through the French position, and prepare to copy the French army from behind...

When the forward tanks ran over the French positions, under the sand, suddenly a few people stood up.

Some of these people were carrying blasting canisters in their hands, some were taking in anti-tank packs, and some were simply holding explosive packs.

"Long live France!" With a shout, these people threw themselves together and pounced on the Ming tank.

Even if you are hit by a machine gun, your body will pounce on you by inertia.

A tank was besieged from all sides by a dozen people at the same time, and it was so sudden that the machine gunners simply couldn't keep it busy.

There are also some people who simply wait until the tank presses on them before pulling the fuse in their hands.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“……！”

Amid the continuous explosions, the Ming tanks stopped one after another.

Zu Kuan's face turned cold, he didn't expect the French to play like this.

As the commander of the tank unit, he knew too well where the weakness of tank No. 4 was.

Don't look at the tank to drive with a tiger, it has weaknesses like all equipment.

Just put five to ten kilograms of explosives at the junction of the turret and hull of the tank, or above the driver's cockpit.

The force of the explosion can stun or kill the occupants of the tank.

This secret is known only to officers above the regimental level of the Daming Tank Unit.

Unexpectedly, the French army didn't know where to get this secret.

Those tanks lying on their stomachs, it is very likely that it is not the tank that is damaged, but the people inside the tank who are damaged.

After a day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The Ming army voluntarily withdrew from its positions and disengaged from contact.

Before leaving, the tank engine was removed, and all the destroyed tanks were re-blasted.

"The boys did a good job, although the losses were greater, but they also succeeded in dragging the Ming army in Belgorod.

With just two more days of delay, our army will be able to surround them. ”

Ney was very excited, because today it was dark and the Ming army retreated on its own initiative for the first time.

After a day's fighting, the Ming army not only did not advance, but lost more than 20 tanks.

From the date given by Napoleon, as long as he held out for two more days, it would be the day of the counteroffensive.

Since the beginning of the war, France has fought too many defeats, and now everyone from Napoleon to ordinary French soldiers is desperate for a victory.

And victory, at hand.

Napoleon did not break his promise, and even after dark he had suffered heavy losses the previous night, he still mobilized a large number of airships to deliver supplies to the First Army.

After a busy night's work, the lost ammunition and equipment were refilled.

Those French troops that had been broken and reorganized had a feeling of resurrection.

When the day dawned again, the French army had eaten breakfast early and lay in the trenches, waiting for the routine shelling of the Ming army.

However......!

There was no artillery shelling by the Ming army, and even the front line could not see the shadow of the Ming army at all, and on the silent front, there was nothing except crows that fell to the ground and ate corpses.

For the average French soldier, this could not be better than a good thing.

But the news from the front made Ney restless.

His task was to attract the Ming army to Belgorod, and the encirclement was about to be formed, but the Ming army must not be allowed to escape.

Wait from eight to nine, and then from nine to half-past nine.

Except for Stuka hovering in the sky, dropping bombs from time to time, there was no shadow of the Ming army at all.

At ten o'clock, Ney could no longer sit still.

The French began to send cavalry to reconnoiter the whereabouts of the Ming army.

Many cavalry were sent out, but by noon none of them had returned.

The cavalry did not return, but Ney's heart calmed down a little.

The fact that no cavalry came back means that they were all killed.

And the only one who killed them was the troops of the Ming army.

No matter how much the horse can run, it will definitely not be able to outrun the tanks of the Ming army.

The Ming army wanted to lure their troops out of their positions and then hunt.

Hey!

Lao Tzu is not fooled by you.

"Order, all troops hold on to their positions.

Continue to send light cavalry to reconnoitre, bring them signal flares, and immediately fire signal flares whenever they encounter the Ming army. ”

Ney has also learned to be well-behaved, even if he loses some cavalry, he must know where the Ming army is.

The cavalry was released for an hour, and the front-line soldiers did not see the flares.

Ney thought about it, so to speak, the Ming army was at least thirty or even forty kilometers away.

If you want to lure Lao Tzu out of the position, there is no way!

While the First Army was not moving, the Fourth Army, which was coming along the Severodonetsk River, was on a rapid march.

Marshal Dawu, the commander of the Fourth Army, did not want to drain the physical strength of the soldiers.

But there is no way, His Majesty the Emperor's order is a death order, and he must rush to the preset position before sunset tomorrow.

Cut off the way for the Ming army to return eastward!

The road conditions were so bad that heavy weapons could barely be moved.

Many of the gun trucks had just come out of this mud pit and fell into that mud pit.

At the end of the day, five kilometers is considered fast.

These artillery carriages were not only heavy, but also bulky.

Often, a gun wagon gets stuck in the mud and can block a long line of wagons.

Davout, who had no choice, could only order the infantry to advance first.

As for how to fight tanks with the light weapons of the infantry when the time comes......!

Then take one step at a time, anyway, His Majesty the Emperor's order is that you can't get to the place before dark tomorrow, so come and see you.

The 400,000-strong Fourth Army dragged its feet all the way, forming several marching groups of forty or fifty kilometers long on the great plain.

Davout looked at his men worriedly, forcing the march to leave many infantry behind.

Some companies at the front have even been separated.

It's not uncommon for a stretch of one or two kilometers to stretch out for a while!

All kinds of troops were mixed together, walking on muddy roads, and from time to time people quarreled and even fought over trivial matters.

If at this time, the Ming army comes to attack ......!

In the distance, ghostly cries were heard again!

Damn planes again!

Davout saw that his soldiers had rushed into the mud puddles on the side of the road to escape the Ming planes.

After a series of strafing shots, the mud-stained mud figures crawled out of the mud pit one after another and continued their awkward march.

Airplanes are so annoying!

Every day, because of the strafing and bombing of aircraft, the speed of the French army's march was greatly delayed.

The big craters on the road were also smashed by the plane with the big bombs.

"Marshal, be careful!"

A staff officer, carrying Marshal Davout, ran down the roadbed.

A Stuka fired, skimming over their heads.

The soldiers on the road, who did not have time to escape, were hit by machine guns from the plane.

"!" Davout pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger on the departing plane.
