Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 712

The Qing army never thought that their strategic retreat would incur such a terrible and devastating blow.Their enemies cannot be guessed by common sense at all. The Ming army relied entirely on a large number of reconnaissance planes to set up an air-based reconnaissance network over France, coupled with intelligence personnel and networks on the ground, to grasp the movements of the Qing army and call Their bombers carry out strikes.

In the northern part of France opened up by the Northern European Front of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Air Force has acquired several airports. In addition to flying across the sea from the United Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty has at least 600 usable aircraft in France, including more than 600 fighter jets. , more than 500 bombers, more than [-] attack aircraft, and other auxiliary aircraft.

The French campaign launched by the Ming Dynasty made the world truly know what air supremacy means in war. As long as they are found on the ground, their doom will come. Even if they are not completely wiped out, they will be severely injured. Loss of most of its combat capability, and then ineffective in the military sense.

If the Qing army is stationed and has a large number of underground facilities such as air-raid shelters, then they can still guard against the Ming Air Force, but whether they are in the barracks or on the way to retreat, they will expose themselves to the attacks of the Ming Air Force and Hainan Airlines. Down.

This is not the worst situation for the Qing army, because the Ming army and its allies are also moving quickly.

On January 25, the 1th year of recovery, the Southwest European Front led by Gao Ning, with the cooperation of the Nordic Front that had just landed from Calais, mobilized the 10th Army, a part of the 9th Army, the 12th Army, the 17rd Army of the Marine Corps, The 23th Army of the North African Fan Army, the 37st Army of the Nanyang Fan Army, the First British Army, and the Second British Army, a total of 41 armies with a total size of more than 8 people, launched the Paris Offensive.In the absence of a real defensive force, Paris fell in one day, and the red flag of the Ming Dynasty fluttered over Paris, and they were greeted by countless ecstatic Parisians. They welcomed the Ming army as if they were welcoming their own army. It means that their miserable life under occupation is completely over, and they are finally "free".

The Southern European Front Army led by Shang Zhonghe, who attacked from Italy, marched northeast from Dijon, and cooperated with a division of the British Third Army and the 12th Army to intercept the main force of the Qing army retreating eastward by Mu Zhan.Shang Zhonghe led the two mechanized infantry divisions of the 20th Army of the Ming Army, the First Army and the Second Army of the Italian Army, with a total strength of more than 20.

It can be said that at this point in the war, the Ming side has thoroughly figured out what kind of opponent the Qing army is, and the combat power of the Qing army has been defeated by the Ming army. Both morale and equipment have suffered serious losses. It appeared that the Ming Army only mobilized the mechanized troops of three divisions as the main force of the campaign, and the main large-scale troops were provided by Britain and Italy.There are more than 20 British and Italian armies, and their equipment level is almost the same as that of the Qing army in the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, at this time, Ming has already thrown part of its surplus armaments to them, so the armored soldiers of the British and Italian armies are all happy to start On the Ming version of the T-34 tank.

This is of course because the Ming Army has installed more than 105 Type [-] main battle tanks. The terrifying five pairs of road wheels written as [-] and read as [-] are absolutely fantastic combat forces, with a real early [-] capital. Does not have a fire control system, installs composite armor, and directly uses a [-]mm smoothbore tank gun.

Even because of the extremely high level of industrial technology, Ming Dynasty produced Type 2 and Type [-] main battle tanks faster than the previous Type [-].Bai Mingxiu exploded more than [-] vehicles without paying attention, and they were desperately transporting them to the front line.Now Bai Mingxiu himself is very distressed. During the production cycle of the Type [-] medium tank, Da Ming produced a total of [-] of this type of tank.Because there are so many of them, they are widely equipped in all ground armies of the Ming Dynasty, including the Ming Dynasty army, vassal army and marines, and even garrison regiments and militia organizations.

In other countries, tanks, a powerful weapon, are equipped in armored divisions. However, the entire army of the Ming Dynasty is mechanized. Ordinary infantry division tanks are deployed to regiments. The mechanized infantry regiment has an armored battalion under its jurisdiction, and the combined combat power is very large. powerful.The Ming Army Group Army sometimes had specialized armored divisions and mechanized cavalry divisions. Each of these divisions was often equipped with more than 300 tanks.

Because a large number of Type 2 and Type [-] main battle tanks have been sent from the rear, the Ming armored soldiers simply changed their equipment on the spot, and the entire system was shifted from Type [-] to Type [-] and Type [-], while the old Type [-] was thrown to the British and Italian troops. military use.At that time, the British and Italian armies were still using the T-[-] light tanks exported by the Ming Dynasty on a large scale. They seized some chariots from the Qing army and replaced them as treasures. Now they have directly upgraded to the Type [-] tanks. The powerful chariot that he dreamed of was completely a mentality of picking up the ocean.But the Ming army really didn't care much about Type [-] tanks anymore, this time they directly threw hundreds of Type [-] tanks to the British and Italian troops.

Since the Allied forces of the Ming Dynasty possessed a large number of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and there were countless military trucks, the mobility of the Ming and Allied forces was greatly improved.At this time, the Qing army did not care about destroying the progress of the Ming army, which made it possible for them to march only 200 kilometers a day under the bombing, and the Ming army and allied forces on wheels marched [-] kilometers a day and night.

Finally, the vanguard of the Southern European Front Army led by Shang Zhonghe stopped a half-disabled army of the Qing army in the Lorraine area.The vanguard consisted of a mechanized infantry brigade of the Ming army and two fast divisions of the Italian army.The commander immediately ordered the Italian army to continue to squeeze the Qing army's space, while the mechanized infantry brigade took advantage of its own maneuverability to detour to the Qing army's flank to launch an attack.The battle was not particularly fierce. The breakthrough of the Ming army's mechanized infantry brigade was simple and effective. The Qing army resisted to a certain extent, but was finally defeated.

In the ensuing pursuit battle, the Italian army performed well. They crossed 80 kilometers in a row and defeated the Qing army's counterattacks and an ambush. Although they suffered some losses, they managed to contain the enemy and finally completely encircled and wiped out the Qing army. of this legion.

The famous general of the Qing army, Krasnov, was killed in this battle. It was similar to the previous battles. The surrender rate of the Qing army was not high, and most of them died heroically. A large proportion of this army was Russians and Ukrainians. Ming people and Italians have some differences.

What kind of spirit is it to use one's own life to realize the great ideal of another nation?Anyway, no one answers them now.When the Ming and British troops of the Nordic Front also came from the direction of Luxembourg, the Qing army's westward retreat was completely cut off by the Ming Dynasty.
