On 16 September, after a week of fighting, the Germans finally completed the encirclement of Warsaw.

The whole of Warsaw has now become a fortress. Every street, every house, was guarded with men with guns.

Although everyone knows that those in the upper echelons have fled. But they had no way to escape, and if they didn't want the Germans to come in, they had to take up arms and resist.

A colonel named Ryshard Kachurovsky became the top leader of Warsaw.

There was no way, his superiors fled, and his colleagues almost all fled. His subordinates have also run away quite a bit!

He, didn't run away. So, he became the supreme commander of Warsaw, commanding the people of Warsaw against the German invasion.

The Germans attacked patiently and swept away all the outlying strongholds before attacking the city.

The Germans learned a lot on the battlefield and the Ming army, and one of the most useful tactics was artillery scrubbing.

Houses where there are resistance figures will be patronized by shells.

Judging by this, after this battle, there should not be many houses left in Warsaw. Naturally, there aren't many people left.

Li Xiao is mobilizing troops these days!

The Battle of Bryansk went very smoothly, except for Cao Bianjiao's division of the 2nd Tank Division, which was killed by someone because of the light enemy's rash advance, a tank company, plus half an armored infantry company.

For this, the head of the vanguard regiment was removed from his post.

Li Xiao doesn't feel sorry for those tanks, they can be rebuilt if they are destroyed. What he felt sorry for was that those soldiers, all of whom were good sons of the Ming Dynasty, died on the battlefield under the command of a mediocre talent.

It seems that the promotion of officers in the future will be a major issue, and it is necessary to study the countermeasures carefully.

It is necessary to work out a set of mechanisms to let people who are really capable command the battle.

Another consequence of the Battle of Bryansk was the loss of a very large number of motorcycle hours.

In fact, the Ming armored troops can only maintain an offensive distance of about 500 kilometers!

Converted to motorcycle hours, that is, about thirty hours.

There is no way, the armored troops were made by Li Xiao by forcibly pulling out the science and technology tree and pulling out the seedlings.

Tank engines, as well as various technologies, are not very mature.

After more than thirty hours of motorization, these tanks will suffer from various breakdowns if they are not maintained or repaired.

Whenever this happens, the repair battalions of the various units are in the stage of collapse.

That's why, after every big battle of the Ming army's armored forces, there will be a long rest.

Most of this time is wasted on the repair and maintenance of machinery.

The Battle of Bryansk, many motorized hours were wasted. The final consequence was that the Ming had to let the first cavalry division, with the infantry alone, attack Smolensk.

It could not be dragged any longer, and the ships of Riga and Nogrove were transporting Nordic soldiers back to Scandinavia every day.

The Nordics have a tendon, and the Nordics are dense jungles. If you want to attack Northern Europe, the difficulty is not ordinary.

Especially attacking Northern Europe in winter, it was simply a nightmare for all armies.

The Soviet army had such a tragic experience back then, and 200,000 Soviet troops were frozen to death in the ice and snow of Finland.

Winter is approaching soon, and Li Xiao does not want to repeat the mistakes of the Soviet army, so he must annihilate as many Nordic coalition troops in Smolensk.

"The most important thing in this battle is interspersed. Smolensk is besieged by the Russian army and our infantry, just trap them, and don't really attack.

Master Man, you take a cavalry division and repeatedly intersperse behind enemy lines.

The most important thing is to destroy the logistics supply points, all kinds of military stations, and command posts at all levels, especially to shoot those signal troops.

After doing this, don't get entangled with the main enemy force and go straight to Riga! Li Xiao was on the map, constantly commanding and poking, so that Man Ye understood that this battle could not have Ao Ye's cooperation.

"What about Norgrove?"

"The port terminal in Nogrove is quite far from the city. We can send the Air Force to bomb the port of Nowgrove.

Now we have more than 20 Kunpeng in our hands, which can take on strategic bombing missions.

Bombing the harbor into a sea of fire, destroying the port facilities, and sinking the ships in the harbor would prevent the Nordic forces in Nogrove from retreating.

In addition, the Russian army will also cooperate with the attack on Nogrove.

Nogrove is not simple, we need a lot of patience to be able to take it! ”

Yuan Hao pointed to Nogrove on the map and said!

"Well, I'll do my best to take Riga, but the Air Force needs to support me. According to intelligence, Riga is now garrisoned by 200,000 Nordic coalition troops.

There are more than seven times the number of our army, and if we want to attack Riga, we will have to engage in urban street fighting.

But urban street fighting is not our forte. ”

"And that's true!" Li Xiao frowned, it is true that the armored forces attacked the city, which is not the strength of the armored forces.

The elite 1st Cavalry Division should annihilate those stubborn enemies in the field, not be consumed in street battles.

"Dashuai, this can't work. We can use the tactic of encirclement to send reinforcements!

First of all, we drew units of naval aviation from the Mediterranean Sea and came to Moscow to participate in the war.

Departing from St. Petersburg Airport, the range of the aircraft can include Riga.

As soon as we sink the ships in the port of Riga, there will be a turtle in the urn!

At this time, we will besiege Nogrove again, and abandon Smolensk at all.

It's just that in Smolensk in those years, it would be good to put a few Russian divisions on defense.

In this way, we pinned down the enemy of Nogrove. If there is no hope of a breakthrough for the enemy forces in Riga, they will run to Nogrove.

In this way, our army can give full play to the field superiority of the 1st Cavalry Division and directly take out the 200,000 troops in Riga in the field battle. ”

Stilwell pointed to Riga and Logrove on the map and said!

Li Xiao thought about it and shook his head.

"The Chief of the General Staff is right, but the goal is reversed.

First of all, Riga is close to the port, and it is not easy for us to separate Riga from the port.

On the contrary, there is a distance of 30 kilometers between Nogrove City and Nogrove Port.

We can intersperse directly between Nogrove Port and Nogrove City.

With this cutting off Nogrove's escape route, what could Nogrove's 300,000 defenders do? ”

Man Ye's eyes lit up: "Since we can't escape, we can only go out of the city and move closer to Riga, and we can kill them in the field." ”

"Yes, we're going to take out the 300,000 defenders of Norgrove in the field.

The campaign lasted about a week, when the motorized hours of the 1st Cavalry Division were almost exhausted. I think the 1st and 2nd Tank Divisions and the 3rd Division can also be freed up.

When the time came, three tank divisions directly surrounded Riga. Constant bombardment from the air, and then large-caliber artillery was mobilized to bombard the port.

The defenders of Riga who have not withdrawn will also become turtles in the urn.

Both ports fell, and the 100,000 men and horses of Nasmolensk had no other way to go than to surrender. ”

Li Xiao used a red pen to draw a big cross in the Smolensk place.

"Hmmm! Dashuai's plan is more meticulous and operational than mine. Stilwell nodded, and he also agreed with Yuan Hao's tactics.

"Naval aviation should not be transferred, as soon as the navy is preparing for the battle of Gibraltar.

Second, the naval aviation unit was suddenly transferred to the northern theater of operations, and it was not suitable for a while.

In case the water and soil are not adapted, it will not be good if something happens.

Just use the troops we have ready-made, and Moscow still has an 800-mm train gun, and the two 530-mm mortars, which are also transferred to Riga.

Transferred to bombard the port of Riga so hard that they could not retreat smoothly.

We used it and sold it directly to the Germans. Let them take it to attack Warsaw!

They are now struggling to attack Warsaw! The Poles really had to die, and the Germans didn't have it so easily. ”

Li Xiao smiled and nodded.

The battle has reached this point, and it is already how to fight and how to win.

The coalition forces of the Nordic countries fled back in small quantities, and there would be no qualitative change. Even if they can't be killed now, once the Ming navy arrives in the Baltic Sea in the future, it will be impossible for the Nordic coalition forces to confront the Ming Dynasty.

"No!" Man Ye replied heavily.

He knew that there were not many opportunities to fight in the future. If you want to make military achievements, this is almost the last good chance.

In the early morning of September 21, the Ming army began its offensive. Contrary to the expectations of the Nordic coalition forces, the Ming army did not go to Smolensk, but to the upper reaches of Smolensk, strengthening the Dnieper.

The fierce First Division of the Ming Army's cavalry directly killed Nowgrove!

The Norgrove defenders underestimated the attack of the Ming army, and at noon on the day of the battle, the road from Nogrove to Port Nogrove was cut off.

Ming tanks lay in ambush on both sides of the road, constantly shooting at the Allied soldiers who wanted to rush to the port of Nowgrove.

The corpses of the coalition soldiers were strewn all over the field, and the carriages and ox carts were blown up, and I don't know how many.

The entire road west of Nogrove was stained red with blood.

The commander of the coalition forces in Nogrove then realized that it was not a small force that was interspersed behind them, but a hard steel nail.

In the afternoon, the commander of Logrove was about to lead his army to counterattack on all fronts. Unexpectedly, the Russian army in front of him also began to attack.

The offensive of the Russian army is very characteristic of the Ming army, first of all, the rocket washing the ground. There are not only small rockets of 137 mm, but also heavy rockets of 380 mm.

A large number of rockets, in half a minute, turned the positions of the Nordic army into a sea of fire.

And the rocket artillery of the Nordic coalition army has not yet been launched, and it was discovered by those Ming fighters hovering in the sky.

Kunpeng quickly made an order, and the Ming fighters in the air were like goshawks, repeatedly diving and bombing one after another!

As a direct result, the rocket artillery of the Nordic coalition army was blown up by the Ming Air Force before firing a few shells.

A lot of rockets were killed on the rocket artillery truck, which increased the power of the rocket explosion.

From a distance, the sky over the positions of the rocket artillery of the Nordic coalition forces was half gunsmoke and half flames.

And the soldiers of the Nordic coalition army struggled in the smoke and flames, and in the end few survived.

Without artillery support, there are planes in the sky that are constantly circling and bombing.

This time, the Nordic coalition army was completely panicked!

They knew that the Ming Dynasty was already going to be ruthless to them. Just when the Ming army was attacking happily, it was getting dark! The Ming army's offensive was temporarily stopped!

The commander of the coalition forces, Field Marshal Doug, gritted his teeth and ordered his troops to withdraw from their defensive positions, turn south and then turn west, and finally rush to Riga, two hundred kilometers away.

As long as you get to Riga, there is a glimmer of life, and staying in Nogrove is a dead end.

Everything made Li Xiao guess correctly!

The sudden abandonment of the position, coupled with the darkness of the night and the darkness of the night, the retreat of the Nordic coalition forces was not planned.

The decisions made by the command were also made on an ad hoc basis, and there was simply no time to make a complete plan.

At the beginning, the troops were able to retreat according to the plan and in sequence.

But when there were more troops on the road and the road was congested, everything changed.

The troops were reluctant to throw away their heavy weapons and baggage, but these were so heavy that they seriously slowed down the troops' march.

The road is so clogged that everyone wants to pass first.

After a day of fighting, the losses of all units were not small, and everyone was holding back the anger in their stomachs.

At the beginning, it was still an argument, and after the quarrel, it was a fist and kick. Then, it was useful to use cold weapons such as bayonets.

Obviously, a person with a gun in his hand will not only use cold weapons.

I don't know who fired the first shot, but in the end, the rout turned into a firefight.

In the darkness, countless people were shooting wildly.

They don't care who the people are in the dark, they shoot whoever moves anyway, and whoever fucking knows who you're from.

When Man Ye came over with a cavalry division, the battle was a mess.

There were people shooting all around, and everything that moved on the ground was going to be shot anyway.

Under the rain of bullets, even the most daring tank commander did not dare to poke his head outside.

The tankers silently abandoned the tank guns and attacked with 7.62 mm parallel machine guns.

In dark conditions, even if a machine gun hits a tank of its own people, it will not penetrate the tank.

None of the soldiers on the infantry fighting vehicles got off the car. They fired with 25-millimeter rapid-fire guns, and whenever they saw a single shot, they fired at it.

The side-by-side machine gun on the tank is a machine gun, and the tank is fully stocked with ammunition, and it will never shoot a single shot.

It's a real scuffle, and everyone was still in the process at the beginning. At midnight, there were gunshots and gunfire in all directions, and no one knew which side was their own.

Only by the sound of gunfire can you judge where the enemy is shooting and where your own people are shooting.

The chaotic battle continued into the early morning, and the gunfire slowly thinned out.

Because the Nordic coalition saw the tanks clearly, they left their baggage and fled without saying a word.
