Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 662 Unsmooth Withdrawal

The port of Dunkirk was bombed by the Xiqing Air Force and suffered certain losses, but the use of the port was not paralyzed.The Xiqing side then carried out the second and third batches of bombing, but this time the Ming Air Force was more fully prepared and more Ming reconnaissance planes began to patrol Flanders. Notify the Ming Air Force located at England Airport, and the Daming Air Force took off and landed fighter jets to face the Xiqing Air Force.

Under normal circumstances, the Xiqing Air Force is unable to compete with the Ming Air Force. After suffering several losses, the current Xiqing Air Force already knows that if it encounters a large-scale interception by the Ming Air Force fighter planes, it will retreat quickly to avoid expansion. loss.

Therefore, the subsequent Xiqing Air Force did not achieve more victories in this area.

But the Qing army quickly tightened the encirclement and launched a ground offensive against the European Holy Alliance.

The offensive of the Qing army's ground forces was already very organized, and their commanders would make extremely adequate artillery preparations. The Qing army's artillery was not weak, and it also did a good job in artillery reconnaissance. Therefore, once the artillery attack was launched, the French army will be severely hit.

Immediately after that came Xu Jin's barrage, and the tanks and infantry of the Qing army organized a breakthrough.The French army is often unable to confront the Qing army at this stage.The defense line they organized could hardly stop the Qing army from attacking. Although Ming Dynasty gave them a lot of equipment support, the French army's anti-tank ability was not strong, so it was easy to collapse after a short contact with the Qing army.

On the 26th, the Qing army carried out a three-sided assault, and the legion led by Cheng Lin personally advanced more than 60 kilometers. The defense line and counterattack organized by the French army were like paper to the Qing army.But on this day, Bai Mingxiu commanded a hundred landing ships to the coast of Dunkirk, took away the communication battalion where Lan Dongjun and the others were, and the injured air force pilots, and took away about 1 more by the way. French soldiers.

On the 27th, the Qing army launched another attack, and the progress was greatly limited, because the Ming Air Force also invested in ground support on this day. The Ming Air Force and the HNA carrier-based aircraft unit led by Bai Mingxiu personally supported the defense of the French army. , counter-suppressed the Qing army's offensive, and focused on bombing the artillery of the French army, so that the Qing army hardly made much progress on this day.

But Cheng Lin was not an idle person, just when the French army was satisfied with Daming's air support and achieved "victory", Cheng Lin launched a night battle that night.Although the Qing army's armored soldiers were not capable of fighting at night, Cheng Lin still thought of many ways to make up for it. A large number of flares were shot into the sky, and the Qing army suddenly launched shelling and raids, making the French army unable to stand up.

After a Qing army opened the gap in the French army, it went straight into the French army and released them, achieving an interspersed encirclement, and almost took away Villars' command post.But this was also a crooked attack by the Qing army. Before the battle, they didn't know that Villar was at that command post.After the battle, they didn't know that Villar and the Allied Command immediately broke through at the critical moment.

As the battle progressed, the place where the Allied forces could stand became more and more cramped. The French army's fighting will was not strong. The troops in the army are not determined to fight, and they often retreat automatically when facing less intense battles.After all, they also want to board the ship quickly, instead of fighting the Qing army here.

"Why don't you send the Ming army in the UK? The Ming army is so powerful, it will definitely be able to cut off the rear for us, keep the Qing army out, and let us poor people who have lost their country board the lifeboat."

Such talk actually started to flourish among the French army, and even Villar was jointly petitioned by many officers, hoping that he could persuade the Ming army to send troops to take their place in the battle and cut off the rear for the French army.

Villar was very angry: "Gentlemen, the name of the land we step on is France, the land that gave birth to us, and our motherland. On our own land, we actually want to let If foreigners come to save us, and dare not even stand on their own land to sacrifice, then such a France is doomed to perish, and there will never be hope!"

His words were deafening and full of reason, but not many French officers and soldiers listened to his words.They felt that Villars was very hypocritical and illiterate.Now France is over, and everyone thinks about how to live, not die.

If it is really so glorious and great, why doesn't Villar lead the French army to continue fighting, but thinks about leading everyone to retreat, so many French people think Villar is hypocritical.

Such news reached Bai Mingxiu's ears, and His Majesty the Emperor was also very moved: "God will help those who help themselves, and those who don't even want to save themselves, can they still count on others to save them?"

He deeply loathes these Frenchmen who have no sense of honor or disgrace, but there is no way, his task is to bring these guys back, and he can only forcefully push them.

Due to mission requirements, Bai Mingxiu could not send large-scale ground troops to France, so he could only rely on the Ming Air Force and Hainan Airlines.By the 28th, the attack scale of the Daming Air Force and HNA became larger, and at the same time, a large number of military and civilian ships prepared by the British side were already in place, and a large number of them came to the coast of France, and began to withdraw allied officers and soldiers to the British Isle in batches.

On the 27th and 28th, the Allied forces retreated 30000 and 47000 people respectively. Bai Mingxiu was not satisfied with this speed, because the attack speed of the Qing army was very fast.Although the Ming Air Force and Hainan Airlines dispatched thousands of planes to bomb the Qing army in a single day, the Qing army's air defense firepower was fully deployed, and the witty Cheng Lin chose to attack one of them when one was attacked by the air, and the other attack alternately.This kind of relay attack has greatly improved the efficiency, making it difficult for the Ming Air Force and HNA to delay the momentum of all the Qing army's attacking troops across the board.The French army experienced an embarrassing situation of repeated battles and setbacks. On the 29th, the entire French army surrendered to the Qing army.

When Daming continued to withdraw troops for two consecutive days, withdrawing a total of 17 people, and Bai Mingxiu's mission seemed to be successful, a huge change occurred.

Spain and Portugal suddenly announced their withdrawal from the Holy Alliance of Europe and chose to join the allies of the Western Qing Empire.To make matters worse, the 4 Spanish troops in Flanders suddenly turned against each other and cut off part of the French army. The result of the surrender of the army.

Knowing this, Bai Mingxiu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
