More than a dozen companies of Ming troops searched the entire steel plant like they were passing through a sieve.

Indeed, no one escaped, not even a mouse.

Many blown vents still have traces of chlorine leaking out, shining strangely green in the sunlight.

After using a construction shovel to cover it with some soil, there was no more chlorine gas leaking out of the ground.

In the words of the commander-in-chief, we must ensure that this place is no longer used by anyone.

At dusk the next day, the old monkey led the team to leave here.

We still rode in military trucks along the way, and everyone was extremely tired when we returned to the station.

"The cooking class is responsible for standing guard, and the rest of the people are sleeping." Regardless of the fact that this was a battlefield, the old monkey gave a very unusual order.

So, everyone went to bed, except for the unlucky cooking squad who had no choice but to stay and pick up their kaa rifles to stand guard.

While the soldiers were sleeping, fighting was raging on the outskirts of Moscow.

Moreover, there was basically no fighting during the day.

As night went on, the fighting between the two sides became more intense.

But this time, the German army encountered the Ming army's new tactics.

"Last night, the German army advanced three kilometers. Although we tried our best to resist, we were forced back by the superior German army.

This time, the German army learned the lesson and kept digging trenches during the day. At night, they used these trenches as starting positions to launch attacks on our army.

The retreating positions are mainly Russian positions. With today's combat effectiveness of the Russian army, they are no match for the German army.

Commander, even with all three divisions on top, it’s still not enough.”

Shi Dewei looked at Li Xiao helplessly. The battle outside Moscow was going on arduously.

However, the number of troops that Stilway can use is getting smaller and smaller. Yesterday there were two regiments, and today there are only half a battalion left.

Every gap on the front had to be filled by Ming soldiers with their lives, especially the Russian positions.

Sometimes, the Ming Army reserves had to engage in various counterattacks like firefighters.

Every time there is a counterattack, there will be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty sleeping in this foreign land.

Although we can still retake the position now, if this continues, Stewie will have to lead the camp guard himself.

"The Cao Bianjiao tribe has been separated from Master Ao and is directly taking orders from Cao Wenzhao." Li Xiao's words were like a shot in the arm for Shi Dewei.

"Really?" Stewie was very excited, because then there would be tank troops on the northern front.

Unlike now, several scattered tank companies can only rush to various fronts to act as fire fighters.

"Yes, our tactics will also change." Li Xiao nodded. This was a strategy he thought up on the road after going to Orr.

"The tactics will also change? It's hard to stick to this now!"

"Because I can't hold on,

So we need to change our tactics.

The next tactic I call the magnetic tactic.

Our troops cannot just defend. Today they will be pushed back one kilometer, and tomorrow they will be pushed back two kilometers.

We want to fight back!

We have to fight back against the German troops in front of us!"

As Li Xiao spoke, he waved his arms realistically.

"Report!" A report voice shouted at the door.

Li Xiao and Shi Dewei looked towards the door together, and the person who came in was Cao Wenzhao, who had a strong back and a strong back.

"How have you been fighting recently? I heard from the Chief of General Staff that the troops were fighting very hard?" Li Xiao smiled and picked up a cigar and handed it to Cao Wenzhao.

He knew that Cao Wenzhao was also an old smoker.

"Thank you, Commander!

The troops have been fighting very hard recently. After all, they have just been transferred from the rear. They have lived in peace for a long time, and now they are a little uncomfortable on the battlefield.

The casualties were a bit high, but domestic repairs were made in a timely manner.

Many companies suffered casualties reaching 30%, and they were completely replenished after two days of retreating to the rear.

And those new recruits all came from the recruitment center.

Their military qualities are pretty good, and they are soldiers who can fight as soon as they come.

Now the troops are accumulating experience in dealing with the German army and can cope with the more fierce German attack.

There is no guarantee that there will be no problems with the Third Division's position."

"Okay, good job.

I knew that the Third Division was worthy of being the main division of our Liao Army.

However, the Third Division now suffers heavy casualties. In addition to its lack of combat experience, it also has problems with our tactical arrangements.

Look at the past half month, we have been holding on to our position.

If the enemy comes to attack, we will fight to the death with them.

Under night fighting conditions, the air force was unable to participate in the battle. There were no good sighting conditions for artillery fire, and the effect was compromised.

In this way, the enemy's numerical advantage is reflected.

If we kill three others, they only need to kill one of us.

After fighting hard, your three divisions have been wiped out, and others don't care. After all, there are now two million coalition forces assembled on the northern front.

Moreover, even if your front is held.

The Russian army may not necessarily hold the front. After all, the front they defend is longer than ours.

Now just by helping the Russian army put out the fire, we will almost fill up a division.

So I think it’s time to change our tactics.”

Li Xiao cut the cigar and lit the matches for himself and Cao Bianjiao.

He picked up the Great China on the table and handed one to Stewie.

The three of them were standing in front of the map, smoking and looking at the map.

"I'm ready for this!

We launch an attack during the day, limited to five kilometers.

After capturing the enemy's position, we will retreat in the evening. And we must retreat in large strides, within the range of the German army's overnight attack, and defend on the spot when we reach the place."

"Commander, aren't you going to withdraw five to ten kilometers a day?" Cao Wenzhao's eyes widened. He would be withdrawing to Moscow within a few days.

"No! No! No!" Li Xiao shook his fingers and laughed.

"We must not only retreat with great strides at night, but also attack with great strides during the day.

After all, daytime is our advantage. Our planes can take off and bomb each other.

The new bombers are equipped with radios, which can also help us calibrate artillery fire.

With the cooperation of the air force, we launched a counterattack during the day and recaptured the positions occupied by the Germans at night.

At night, we retreated again.

In other words, if I don’t fight you at night, I will kill you in the daytime.”

Li Xiao pointed at the map and said.

"Wonderful!

Commander, in this way we can make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

We can take advantage of our firepower during the day, and we no longer have to defend our position and fight against the enemy at night.

I think this trick will work!" Stewie nodded excitedly.

"But Commander, the soldiers in my hand can defend well. I'm afraid to launch an attack during the day...!" Shi Dewei hesitated.

After all, his men are all infantrymen.

When it comes to fighting, the ability to break through positions is really limited.

"Wen Zhao, don't worry about this.

I have transferred Cao Bianjiao's troops to Moscow, and they will probably arrive tomorrow.

After they arrive in Moscow, they will engage in daytime counterattack operations.

When father and son go into battle, your uncle and nephew will be together, I believe there won't be any disputes."

"No, no! By the way, I haven't seen this child for more than a year, and I don't know how the war is going.

But with tanks as the vanguard, we are confident that we can regain our position during the day and retreat in time at night."
