Chapter 234
"More than one person!" Ding San also squatted down and turned the guy over.
Bullets are fired from the back, as in the chest. The wound on the back is not large, but the front chest is a large hole.
Through the bloody hole, you can clearly see Bai Sensen's bones, the fractures of the bones, and even the crystal marrow oil flowing out.
"This military uniform is not Polish, the Pole's military uniform is gray, and he is wearing a ......" The old monkey looked at this guy's military uniform very confused, this military uniform looked more like the camouflage uniform of the Ming Army.
It's just that the Ming army's camouflage uniform is black, green, and dark green variegated, while his camouflage uniform is black, green, yellow, and gray as the main colors.
It seems that their camouflage uniforms are more suitable for the forests of Eastern Europe.
"It's like it's British, not Polish." The old monkey said suspiciously.
"The yellow-haired people all have a virtue, how can you tell whether they are British or Polish?" Ding San couldn't get used to the old monkey's expression.
"This must be an Englishman, you look at his armband, I recognize it. The last time was in the Battle of Kursk, we captured more than 50,000 British, and some of them wore this kind of armband on their shoulders.
I just don't know that they are actually equipped with camouflage uniforms. ”
"Company commander......!"
One of the fighters found the mastiff who had been shot, and the other mastiff was wagging its tail and sniffing its companion.
The mastiff who had been shot was lying on the ground covered with leaves, barely breathing.
There was a large hole in the chest, which was already covered in blood.
At a glance, you can tell that this dog can't survive.
The Arca rifle shoots at close range, far from being something that a mastiff can withstand.
"Keep chasing!" The old monkey remembered the commando of the Hebrews two months ago.
The situation this time was very similar to this one, almost exactly the same.
It's just that this time it's harder to find, and it seems to be more dangerous.
"I can't look for it like this, I'll go myself. Just give me a dog! Ding San glanced back at the soldiers in their pants vests.
It's all right now, if it gets dark for a while, the mosquitoes in this forest will eat them.
Looking at the whole company, only Ding San was neatly dressed, but he didn't wear a steel helmet.
"Can it be done? It seems that the other side is also a hard stubble, I'm with you! The old monkey glanced into the distance.
Where the dirt is exposed on the slope, there are obvious traces of military boots. But looking at the traces, it should have been left by a person.
That's the only bit of good news!
"I've heard before that British snipers are generally a team of two.
One is responsible for sighting, and the other is responsible for shooting.
Now, we should run into such a British sniper team.
Wandering around in this mountain forest, I can do it alone, and at most I need the help of a dog.
But if he brought so many people, he was likely to be ambushed.
You are the company commander, and the company cannot be without your command. I'll just go alone, just a British sniper, I won't be my opponent, don't worry! ”
Ding San patted the old monkey on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Indeed, it is dangerous for so many people to find a sniper at night.
It's better to let Ding San chase alone, although Ding San is not strong.
But even Batu, who was as strong as a cow, didn't dare to shoot with Ding San in the forest.
In Batu's words, as long as you pick up a gun, there are almost no people who can draw with Ding San.
If that person was lucky enough to escape Ding San's gun, it must be that Ding San didn't want to kill him.
"Well, be careful. If you can't catch it, don't chase it! ”
The old monkey nodded helplessly.
"Huh! Came to our position, killed our brother, wanted to leave ......, hehe! Ding San sneered, and then took out the box cannon from the old monkey's waist and hung it up.
He patted the old monkey on the shoulder and chased him out with the Mongolian mastiff.
************************
"Marshal, Napoleon is crazy. They took advantage of the torrential rains, the rising waters of the Donetsk River, to fight back against us.
Our troops withstood the onslaught from the opposite side, but suffered heavy losses. Zu Kuan's 1st Tank Division was rushing to the rescue, but ......"
"But what?" Li Xiao turned to look at Zhao Liangdong.
However, the French resistance was stubborn. The French offensive had already annihilated most of the Russian Janissary 54th Army, and only a small part retreated under the cover of our troops.
Today, the French army has completed the encirclement of Kharkov on three sides. If our army does not retreat, it will most likely be besieged in Kharkov. Zhao Liangdong pointed to the map and explained the current battlefield situation to Li Xiao.
Indeed, just like Zhao Liangdong said.
The French army had completed the encirclement of Kharkov on three sides, while most of the troops on the Ming side were resting.
In particular, the 1st Cavalry Division had just completed a major battle and had withdrawn to Omur and was resting.
Cao Bianjiao of the 2nd Tank Division is still unable to draw out of the Smolensk front.
Li Dingguo of the 3rd Tank Division had just assisted the 1st Cavalry Division in completing the campaign to encircle and suppress Austria-Hungary. They are also resting in Omur, and they will definitely not be able to catch up with the Donetsk battlefield for a while.
Now the only one who can rush through is Zu Kuan of the 1st Tank Division, but Zu Kuan has just finished the Crimean campaign.
The number of motorized hours has reached more than 100 hours, and the people and equipment are exhausted.
The most important thing is that it is the first armored division to be formed. The 1st Tank Division has the highest proportion of Type 1 tanks, and it has not been reequipped until now.
Today, almost seventy percent of tanks are still Type 1 tanks.
In the remaining thirty percent, there are also many Type II and Type III tanks. The most advanced Type 4 tank, with five pairs of load-bearing wheels, was only a dozen or so.
With such equipment, dealing with today's French army can no longer be like cutting tofu with a knife.
"The 54th Army, or the Janissary 54th Army, couldn't even withstand an attack by the French army.
It seems that the Praetorian Guard Corps of the Russian army is also like that. Li Xiao looked at the map, and he knew that he had to retreat now.
Because the main forces of the Ming army are resting, only the Russian army and a small part of the Ming army can now stand in front.
There is no way to do it, whether it is a tank, an armored personnel carrier, a self-propelled gun, or an infantry fighting vehicle.
If the motorized hours exceed 200 hours, these equipment will break down.
These things are all things that Li Xiao forcibly pulled out of the science and technology tree, although the research of things has been successful, but the supporting things are still not good.
In particular, the manufacturing accuracy of machine tools is a serious problem, and although the tolerances of individual parts have been controlled very small, they are fatal when combined.
After more than 200 motorcycle hours, these steel guys are either bad here or there. Lying on the road is a regular occurrence!
Therefore, the attacks of the Ming army's armored forces were always short and powerful, and they fled thousands of miles after a single kill.
This is true of the things on the earth, and the same is true of the things in the heavens.
Stuka, who is dispatched with super strength, sometimes falls from the sky for no apparent reason.
Each Stuka is only 30 to 40 hours in full attendance, beyond which it is basically necessary to overhaul it.
Today, the biggest enemy of the Ming Air Force is not the anti-aircraft fire on the ground, but the extremely unreliable engine and various parts.
Although, Daming's aircraft engines claim to work continuously for forty hours.
However, from a practical point of view, it is not up to this number of hours at all.
If there is anyone who is the busiest in the Ming army on the front line, it must be those technicians who are transferred to the rear.
They were responsible for repairing and maintaining various tank armored vehicles and were tired to death all day.
This is why the Ming army had to rest for at least one to two months after every major battle.
Now the armored forces are all resting and cannot participate in the battle.
On the opposite side of the French army's clever attack, the Ming army could only choose to retreat.
"Withdraw from Kharkiv!" Li Xiao didn't plan to fight for one city and one place, and he ran out of ammunition and food.
The great Taizu said that if you leave the land, you will lose the land, and if you leave the land, you will lose the land, and if you leave the land, you will leave the land.
In the face of the battle in Europe, Li Xiao's plan was not to fight for the gains and losses of one time and one place.
As recently as last winter, he was still wondering whether Moscow should give up if it became unfortunate.
But fortunately, the Germans themselves had civil strife.
Mighty Prussia turned into Germany, which seriously affected the course of the fighting at the front.
By the time the Ming army had changed hands, the Germans could no longer move forward from Smolensk.
"No!" Zhao Liangdong breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the marshal would order to defend it.
In that case, not only would the Ming army suffer heavy losses, but even the two Russian Janissary armies would be in danger of being wiped out.
The Russian army could no longer afford a major defeat, and if there was a defeat like that of Austria-Hungary, the morale of the Russians would most likely collapse.
"If the French continue to attack, I think they will be able to reach Tsaritsyn at most.
If possible, we could strike in the Crimea and go directly behind the French army. “
Zuo Liangyu looked at the map and made a gesture from Crimea.
This is indeed a line of thought, and now in Crimea, there are not only four Marine divisions of the Ming army, but also seven Ottoman divisions.
The total number of people has reached 110,000.
Although among the 110,000 people, less than 30,000 were Ming troops.
But this is also a force to be reckoned with, and if this force kills out of Crimea and goes straight behind the French army, it will definitely bring great chaos to the French army.
Further, lift the siege of Kharkov.
However, Li Xiao's attitude was categorically vetoed: "No, the combat effectiveness of the Ottoman army is much worse than that of the French army."
Your marines are only suitable for operating within fifty kilometers of the coast. At most, it is only a hundred kilometers deep into the war zone! “
"Handsome ......!"
"You know, your equipment and troops are not enough to annex Crimea.
The reason for the current results is that the Ottoman Empire has been attacking for more than three months.
In more than three months, the Ottoman Empire filled more than 80,000 people into it.
Without the more than 80,000 corpses of the Ottoman Empire, how could it be so easy for you to attack Crimea.
You still put your energy into attacking Gibraltar. There's nothing you can borrow.
It was only with the support of the Navy that Gibraltar could be captured and the Navy could be helped to open access to the Atlantic. ”
"No! Rest assured, Marshal, we have now begun to assemble our forces towards Corsica. Today, eight of our Marine divisions have been assembled on the island of Corsica.
Seven other Marine divisions are still on the way, and we are hurrying to bring in sea-crossing equipment and equipment from within the country.
If all goes well, we will complete the campaign preparations by the end of August and launch an offensive in mid-September.
According to intelligence, the tide in mid-September is the largest of the year, so we set the time for mid-September. ”
Hearing Li Xiao's inquiry about the preparations for the Battle of Gibraltar, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly reported his combat readiness.
"The number is still a little smaller, and the British defenders of Gibraltar alone have more than 100,000 people. They can also get support from Portugal and Spain at any time!
Fifteen Marine divisions, looking at a lot of people.
But your division is not as good as an army division, and there are more than 13,000 people in one army division.
And your Marine Division, there are only more than 5,500 people in one division.
Fifteen divisions are only more than 80,000 people, and even with the full support and firepower assistance of the navy, it will be difficult for more than 80,000 people to accomplish this task.
It is necessary to continue to mobilize troops on the basis of 15 divisions. At a minimum, twenty divisions must participate in this campaign. ”
Li Xiao thought for a while and felt that Zuo Liangyu was taking it for granted.
This small number of troops was not enough to guarantee victory in the Battle of Gibraltar.
A landing battle is not like a land battle, and if you can't fight it, you can still retreat. In fact, after the failure of the landing, only a very small number of soldiers were able to withdraw from the beach.
The vast majority of the soldiers were either killed or captured.
If the Ming army suffered such a defeat, it would greatly strengthen the confidence of European countries to continue fighting.
The British, in particular, care about Gibraltar very much. Since the seizure of Gibraltar from the Ming Dynasty, the fortifications have been strengthened almost every day.
Britain is the least consigned force in the coalition.
The total number of British troops active at the front has always remained at about 150,000, and none of them are the main force.
And European countries also expressed their understanding of this move of the British.
Because the British arranged the main force in Gibraltar, which was equivalent to helping the Europeans guard the sea gate.
Now if Li Xiao wants to open this door, he must kick it open hard.
"Sir, I don't think we can go to Gibraltar all at once." Zhao Liangdong, who was born in the Marine Corps, said suddenly.
Zuo Liangyu's face sank, if Zhao Liangdong was not Li Xiao's niece and son-in-law, he would have already begun to make trouble.
"Look, my lord, Corsica is fifteen hundred kilometers away from Gibraltar in a straight line.
This is still a straight line distance, and the sea voyage can only be farther.
For 1,500 kilometers, we don't have any supply bases or footholds. It's dangerous for us.
If the landing doesn't go well, we don't even have a place to temporarily anchor and rest. ”
