Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 710
Because the main defense force of the Qing army stationed in France is actually in the south, when Calais in the north is successfully landed and occupied by the Ming army, it means that Ming can invest countless troops and war resources in northern France.

The progress of the Ming army and the British army in northeastern France is also very fast.Immediately after landing, the 12th Army of the Ming Army crossed over to Amian, an important town on the banks of the Somme. With the lack of troops and heavy firepower of the Qing Army, the mechanized breakthrough of the 12th Army had a remarkable effect, continuously breaking through the four lines of defense organized by the Qing Army , scored A Mian.

The Qing army was not hardworking or unprofessional. The Qing army organized their only armored battalion. With the coordination of a large number of infantry, they tried to cut off the route of the Ming army going south into Amian and launched a counterattack.However, the Ming army attacked with the assistance of a large number of air forces. This counterattack force of the Qing army had not been in contact with the ground troops of the Ming army before it was discovered by the Ming army and severely punished.

The Qing army also really suffered from the lack of battlefield anti-aircraft weapons. Their small amount of anti-aircraft guns could not run with tanks and infantry, so once they were spotted by the enemy in the air during the march, they would immediately bombard them head-on.

The main soldiers of this Qing army are from Latvia and have fought for the Western Qing Empire for more than a year.Before actually fighting the Ming army, these Latvian Qing troops did not have a real understanding of the Ming army.

"Didn't it mean that the army can't fight? Didn't it mean that they were just cowards hiding under their own advanced weapons? Didn't it mean that they didn't dare to provoke the Qing Dynasty at all? Who told these lies, and why are we so stupid? You have to listen to these lies!?" Amidst the sound of bomb explosions and flames from the bombing, the Latvian soldiers who were desperately fleeing thought.

Explosions continued to be staged, and comrades around were constantly blown to pieces.Those running tanks also tried their best to avoid the fate of being hit.However, the attack planes of the Ming Air Force flew at low altitude, aiming at the tanks, and the rocket pods under the two wings opened fire crazily.These rocket pods, which are not small in size, are very heavy. Generally, fighter jets mount these rocket pods, which will seriously affect mobility.But the Sky Raider attack aircraft was originally designed to attack the ground, so these rocket pods were hung up, and there were more options when attacking.

The rocket pod carried by the Sky Raider fires 130mm caliber rockets. These rockets are inherently heavy and extremely destructive. Even if it is a tank with certain armor, when it is directly hit by these rockets, it may Battered.Not to mention, when the attack aircraft fired rockets, it rained rockets in an instant, creating a destructive area directly on the ground.

After the Ming Air Force developed this air-to-ground rocket and submitted it to the actual combat troops for simulation, it was immediately praised by the troops.Compared to dropping bulky bombs or bombarding with 23mm cannons, there is nothing better than the sound and light effects and destructive effects of these air-to-ground rockets.

Especially when performing ground suppression missions, the Skyraiders will hang four rocket nests and fire vigorously at enemies on the ground.The cost of these rockets is not high, and they are large in quantity, so attack aircraft pilots do not care much about directly bombarding infantry on the ground with rockets.

The Ming army has always paid attention to cost-effectiveness. Things that can be solved with a bullet do not use grenades, and things that can be solved with fighter jets do not use bombers.However, this principle is based on the protection of Ming soldiers and tactical strategies. If soldiers are to be sacrificed, the Ming army will give priority to using ammunition and silver to attack the enemy.

This Qing army, which was sent to fight back against the Ming army and cut off the advance route of the Ming army, was severely repaired by the air force for a while, and met the Ming army who also heard the news.The mechanized troops of the Ming army immediately rushed forward and destroyed the Qing army.

So in the next battle, no matter what defense line the Qing army tried to set up, as long as the Ming army marched with the support of the air force, it would always be able to create a breakthrough. There is a systematic gap between the Qing army and the Ming army. If the number is not significant enough, it is a question of how long it took the Ming army to defeat the Qing army under the air supremacy.

In terms of specific tactical deployment, the Ming army is very flexible.Throughout the Battle of A-Mian, the Ming army adopted the tactics of multiple breakthroughs, simultaneous advances, and complementary offensives. The progress between the various units of the Ming army was often very rapid, and thanks to the advantages of communications, they were able to quickly respond to the deployment of the Qing army. Response, even anticipating the enemy's opportunity.It often happened that the Qing army dispatched troops to achieve a combat goal, but as soon as they dispatched troops, they were immediately blocked by the Ming army and eventually failed. In the end, the battle was inevitably won by the Ming army.

At the same time, the front army led by Gao Ning suddenly launched a full-scale offensive against the Qing army. The 9th Army and the 37th Army launched a pincer offensive. The Ming Air Force also dispatched an airborne division of the 15th Army to launch an airborne landing directly in the empty area behind the enemy, encircling them on three sides. Qing army.

Although the Qing army resisted fiercely, under such a huge disparity, one legion was still wiped out. Gao Ning took advantage of the victory to pursue and invade Blois, and then invaded Orleans on the first day of faith. Paris was already close at hand!
At this time, Mu Zhan, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, knew that he could not fight the Ming army due to such a disadvantage. While organizing the broken army, Mu Zhan withdrew a large number of Qing troops from the vicinity of Paris. He was going to pass through Luxembourg. , Let the Qing army withdraw into the West German region, join the local Qing army, and fight and leave.

"Shuai Lin has led me to 50 elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Chen Bing is at the Don River. I wonder what we are waiting for?" Mu Zhan already knew that the liquidation was over.

"After all, the steps were too big. Although many troops were armed in a hurry, ready to deal with the enemy. But Nanming is not the same as those European countries. From the perspective of European countries, my Qing Dynasty is mighty and powerful. , but from Nanming’s point of view, our Qing Dynasty is full of flaws, and we can win wherever we fight and how we fight.” Mu Zhan was already very rational at this time.

He also did not consider surrendering to the Ming army with the Qing army, because after the Uleden incident, Fei Yanggu, who was worried about the loyalty of the generals, had already installed agents from the Military Intelligence Bureau into the army, and also specially selected some loyal Eight Banners Officers, with "Shangfang Sword" in their hands, once someone disobeys orders, they have the right to come out and kill the disobedient and seize military power.However, the more such measures were taken, the more serious the division and suspicion within the Qing army became.
