Chapter 252

"Beckman, you mean to make me surrender?" Aylmer, the commander of the defense of Riga City, looked at the old subordinate in front of him.

Beckman's face was covered with the marks of gunsmoke, and one arm was still hanging from his neck. On the gauze, there were faint traces of blood oozing out.

"Yes, sir! It's impossible for us to hold on any longer, as you know from the battles with the Daming tanks.

Those steel monsters are not something we can resist. We fought as hard as we could, really!

If you look at the wounds on my body, all my injuries are on my chest, and not on my back.

We did our best......! Beckman's voice was full of tears, as if there was endless grievance.

"What happened that night, how could 300,000 people collapse in one day.

Even if it is to release 300,000 pigs, it is impossible for Daming to catch them in three days. "Elmer was eager to find out what had happened that night.

Led to the complete collapse of the Nordic coalition!

"The order to retreat was too hasty that night, and the Swedes were unwilling to throw away their baggage.

Therefore, the road is very congested, and if there is a high-ranking officer involved, it can still be successfully retreated, and at least most of the troops can be saved.

But the Swedes actually shot at us because they were rushing for the road.

They killed many of our brothers, and they did not die in the battle against the Ming people, but at the hands of their own allies.

The brothers were attacked, and naturally they fought back. Then there was a large-scale scuffle, in which no one took much advantage and delayed the retreat.

At dawn, the Ming army came.

After a night of fighting, some of the ammunition I was carrying was almost exhausted. The brothers also lost the courage to fight, so they surrendered. ”

"So...... all your injuries were inflicted by the Swedes?" Elmer frowned.

“…… Yes, sir. Beckman nodded.

"Damn the Swedes!" Elmer's face turned pale.

He was not only the commander of the city defense of Riga, but also the commander of the Danish expeditionary force stationed in Russia.

Now that his men were being treated like this by the Swedes, he was filled with resentment.

But you can't turn your face with the Swedes now, because a lot of the transport ships on the sea are Swedes. Without the help of the Swedes, it would have been impossible to withdraw the 200,000 defenders of Riga with Danish capacity.

"The Ming let me inform you if you are willing to lead the Riga defenders to surrender. Just lay down your arms and let us go back to Denmark.

Moreover, the Ming would respect the formal surrender of Denmark. Won't attack us Denmark!

Sir, if we don't surrender, the war will reach our hometown.

Stockholm is right by the sea, and if it is bombed by the Ming, we will still have to surrender. We don't have planes! ”

Immer didn't speak, he knew Beckman was right.

If you don't surrender at this time, then the war will be burned to Denmark itself.

Damn war, it can actually burn the flames of war to Denmark proper. This is something that no one could have imagined!

Just last year, the balance of war seemed to be tilting in favor of the coalition forces.

After all, the number of coalition forces is still more than twice that of the Ming and Russian forces combined.

But in just one year, the number of the Ming army did not increase too much, but it turned the tables against the wind. Not only did they beat the French army so that they couldn't find the north, but even the powerful German army turned over.

The Israeli Army, which appeared as a dark horse, is now in ashes, and even the State of Israel has been wiped out.

As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had suffered two serious blows, it was now in mourning. The country has lost more than a million strong men!

Hungary was in the process of splitting up with Austria, and I heard that separate envoys had been sent to enlist the support of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, the war has been lost. Denmark's future is in your hands! Beckman saw that Elmer was still hesitant, so he said eagerly.

"I need to telegraph to Stockholm and report back to what happened here. Can I call the shots for such a big thing? ”

Elmer yelled angrily.

Beckman kept his mouth shut, he knew that Elmer had agreed, but ...... He needs to have someone, or a clique, to take the blame for him.

Otherwise, when he returns to Denmark in the future, he will go to court-martialed for this.

In four days, in just four days, the Ming army gestured to the remnants of the Swedish army outside Nogrove.

said that it was cleaned up, but in fact, it was not much different from closing up.

Because these people have no command, no provisions, and most importantly, no will to fight.

Many people took the initiative to take refuge.

There was even a Russian soldier who went out to collect firewood, only to come back with a fully staffed company.

The weapons in the hands of these people are still in good condition, and the ammunition is not consumed much.

Such an army can no longer fight.

The battle of Nogrove was resolved, and the 1st Cavalry Division entered a rest on the spot.

No way, after this round of assault, the number of motorcycle hours is almost exhausted.

If it is not overhauled in time, it will be impossible to keep any tanks lying on the battlefield.

Man Ye looked at Ao Ye's tank division helplessly, drove into the perimeter of Riga and began to besiege it.

The 1st Army of the Expeditionary Force besieged Smolensk with the 3rd Tank Division Li Dingguo.

With the 1st and 2nd Tank Divisions, besieged Riga.

Soon, two huge encirclements were formed on the Nordic plain.

There were 100,000 people in one encirclement and 200,000 in another.

The difference is that Riga's defenders are dwindling.

Every day, huge ships leave Riga to bring the Nordic soldiers back to their own country.

The headquarters of the European Union in Brussels has now been turned into a place for full-time quarrels. Every day, the representatives of Germany and France began to spray each other with their little brothers.

The Englishman sat in the corner and did not squeak, and anyone could see it. The European Union, which has only been established for two years, has now de facto dissolved.

The countries of Europe, each with its own evil intentions, will soon become a mess and return to its pre-war appearance.

The difference is that European countries will be more depressed than they were before the war.

In today's Europe, with the exception of Germany and the United Kingdom, the national strength is still quite good. The rest of the countries have all been seriously damaged.

The two years of war have exhausted almost all the forces of the European countries.

With the exception of Germany, most European countries are suffering from famines.

Hunger gripped almost all the people at the bottom, and even in affluent France, it was not easy for the peasants to have a full meal.

A large number of young and middle-aged men were sent to the battlefield. The yield of crops will definitely be affected!

Moreover, there are a large number of men on the battlefield who have died or been maimed as a result of the battle.

Those who are disabled have lost the ability to work. Not only can these people no longer create the value of their labor, but they will become a drag on the family and society.

On the streets of Paris and Vienna, there are a large number of people on crutches. These are people who are missing a leg, and many are missing a leg.

Most of these were caused by the Ming army's mines, and the Ming army's mines, which lacked morality, are now becoming less and less powerful.

There used to be explosions that could blow up half of a living foot.

Now, it's a tube with a bullet.

When stepped on, the nail underneath triggers a primer. Make a hole directly in your foot!

In this case, if it is on the side of the Ming army, one foot can be saved. It can be on the side of coalition forces with poor medical conditions, which requires sawing off the foot.

A thing that costs no more than a few copper plates can be replaced with one foot, and this business is simply not too cost-effective.

Therefore, as long as the Ming army starts to defend or rest, they will scatter a lot of this thing around them.

Because of its small size, it is very difficult to detect.

If you want to clear the mines, it is also simple, as long as you drive a tank or infantry tank around the next morning.

Those mines will explode in a ping-pong manner, and apart from leaving scratches on the chassis of the tank, they will have little impact!

A person who has lost an arm seems to have been somewhat lucky compared to a person who has lost a foot. After all, they can move at will without the need for crutches.

Although it is inconvenient to live with one hand, it is better than someone whose arms have been sawed off.

Now in the factories of France, there are many people with one arm like this.

In fact, even if the Ming Dynasty does not launch a counteroffensive, European countries will not be able to support it for long.

The Russian army's attack on Warsaw was very tragic, and the people at the bottom of Poland really tried their last breath for their country.

On the German side, it can be regarded as mastering the essence of the Ming army.

The infantry dogs waited in the back and let the shells go first.

Every house that looks suspicious, regardless of whether there are people in it or not, will be hit by a cannonball first.

After sweeping the entire street, there were few houses left. The German soldiers, seeing that the front was almost swept away, will tentatively launch an attack.

Behind them, there were artillery crews ready to standby.

As soon as someone shoots at the infantry, they'll blow the guy who fired the shot to the ground!

Under this tactic, the German army made rapid progress in the Battle of Warsaw. In just one week, it occupies a third of Warsaw.

And this one-third of the city of Warsaw is basically rubble.

This also made a baby for the rest of the citizens of Warsaw, and if they don't surrender, this is the end, not only the house is gone, but even their lives are gone

A week later, surrenders began in Warsaw.

But most of these people are old people and children!

The Germans did a good job, not only providing food for the old people and children, but also sending them to live on the outskirts of Poland.

They also took food out of the occupied granaries to let these people survive this cold winter.

There are benefits to surrender, and that's something everyone looks forward to.

All of Warsaw knew that it was almost impossible to have allies to rescue them. France, which has an irreversible relationship with Poland, is now also unable to protect itself.

There were already people in the top echelons of Warsaw who were in private contact with the Germans and wanted to talk about the terms of surrender.

While the Battle of Warsaw was in full swing, France and Germany finally fell out in Brussels.

The sides tore faces, and the Germans were first in Alsace and Lorraine, attacking the troops that had withdrawn from Russia to France.

Due to the lack of capacity, the trains of the French army were crowded like canned sardines.

The scene of the attack was tragic, and the Germans had planted bombs on the railroad tracks in advance.

After the locomotive passed, it detonated at the position of the second carriage.

As soon as the tracks were blown off, the remaining carriages derailed.

The French soldiers in the car were smashed, desperately opened the carriage, and as soon as they got out, they were swept away by the German Maxim.

Many Makqin were arranged only more than 200 meters away from the carriage.

The thin iron sheet of the stuffy tank train couldn't stop the bullets at all.

Bullets flew through the stuffy canister train full of people, and the blood that flowed out of it stained the river red.

The worst thing is that those who were crushed underneath were crushed to death because they couldn't open the door of the stuffy tank train.

This time, the Germans did a very good job, not only attacking the trains, but also pulling out chlorine bombs and stuffing them into every carriage.

Even if he is not killed, he is not crushed and suffocated, he will be smoked to death by chlorine bombs.

In just over two hours, 2,000 large living people became corpses.

When the news broke out, public opinion was in an uproar, and the Germans would never admit that they had done it, and threw the pot on the Ming army contingent that had infiltrated it.

The French insisted that the Germans did it. Bullet casings left at the scene, as well as unexploded chlorine bombs, were also taken out as evidence.

The Germans retorted that it was a false accusation and demanded a joint investigation by the EU.

The two sides quarreled, and so did the media and people of the two countries.

Soon, friction broke out at the border. In Alsace, a French patrol attacked a German patrol. Caused more than a dozen casualties among the German army!

According to the French press, the German soldiers provoked first, and they urinated on the French patrol.

A physical altercation broke out between the soldiers on both sides, followed by gunfire.

It is impossible to verify who fired the first shot. Anyway, after this conflict, the armed conflict between the two sides immediately escalated.

From the squad and platoon level, it soon rose to the battalion and company level.

In three or two days, the armed conflict turned into a battle at the level of a group army.

On one side were the French troops, who had just returned from the battlefields in Eastern Europe, and on the other hand, the German troops, who had just been transferred back from Smolensk.

A few months ago they were allies, but now they are bloodied.

As soon as the war began, the French army showed signs of fatigue.

After all, France's national power is now much less than it used to be.

Moreover, during the two years of war. Because the Germans were engaged in civil strife, in fact, the losses on the battlefield were not very large.

But the French army is different, Napoleon has been single-mindedly fighting with the Ming Empire in the past two years.

Whether it is the tragic Battle of Tsaritsyn or the two Kharkov battles. Both the French army and the Ming army fought hard and shed blood, causing huge casualties to the Ming army, as well as their own casualties.

Coupled with a few years of war, the French economy has been pushed to the brink of collapse. France is becoming more and more powerless against this Franco-German war.

Within half a month of the war, Germany had occupied half of Alsace and almost all of Lorraine.
