Geng Jingzhong waved his hand, and the cavalry returned to Minsk.

The machine guns on the city wall fired continuously, creating lines of fire in the pre-dawn darkness.

From time to time, someone was shot and fell to the ground, but no one moved back.

The Liao army never abandons its brothers!

And Heiyunlong in Minsk city also discovered that Geng Jingzhong's station was empty.

The East Gate was not the main attack direction of the Prussian army, and could not withstand repeated attacks by the powerful Black Cloud Dragon.

The Prussian soldiers were killed and fled in all directions. Geng Jingzhong and Hei Yunlong met at the city gate.

"Haha! Lao Hei, that's funny. You came to the city to rescue Lao Geng at this time. I miss your friendship.

Let us brothers write off the past.

From now on, you and I are brothers." Geng Jingzhong waved his hand and threw a wine bottle over.

Hei Yunlong grabbed the wine bottle in the air, raised his head and drank most of it.

"hehe!

You're not bad, you can come back and save me after rushing out.

This brother of yours is handed over to me, Lao Hei."

After Hei Yunlong finished speaking, he threw the wine bottle back.

Gunshots continued all around. Geng Jingzhong drank all his wine and tugged on his horse's reins: "This place is no longer accessible. We should return to Smolensk."

"I, Lao Hei, still want to fight here.

What a pity!

We only have two groups, otherwise, hey!"

Black Cloud Dragon is fierce, but not stupid.

He also knew that this was a large-scale attack by the Prussians. Moreover, after the previous battle, the Prussians were not willing to let others take advantage of them.

He also knew that the best way now was to retreat to Smolensk. This was also the bottom line of the free movement area that Ming Dynasty had set for him and Geng Jingzhong before coming to Minsk.

"Where is Kong Tingxun? Where has Kong Tingxun gone?" Geng Jingzhong suddenly discovered that Kong Tingxun was missing.

"Have you seen the deputy captain?"

"Report! When we first came to rescue Captain Hei, Deputy Captain Kong fell behind. Now he can't be found."

"snort!

This coward must have run away first.

A disgraceful thing!”

Geng Jingzhong cursed that this Kong Tingxun was so unlike his father, Kong Youde.

His sister Kong Sizhen is ten thousand times stronger than him.

The Kong family can be regarded as a family that was unlucky enough to have such a thing.

"Let's go back to Smolensk." Geng Jingzhong whipped his horse and galloped towards Smolensk.

Beijing!

Li Xiao was still sleeping when he was suddenly woken up by the phone ringing.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and Tokugawa Chiki woke up next to her. She quickly picked up the phone and handed it to Li Xiao.

I called Li Xiao early in the morning. Something big must have happened.

Sure enough, after Li Xiao received the call, his face immediately became ugly.

"We will send out a reconnaissance plane tomorrow morning to get the latest information.

In addition, bomber formations were dispatched to bomb the attacking coalition forces."

What Li Xiao said is a no-brainer.

Aerial bombing can only delay the coalition's attack slightly.

And airplanes, unlike airships, can carry huge amounts of ammunition.

Even if all the ammunition is used up in an aircraft, it is estimated that not many coalition soldiers will be killed.

At most, this can be regarded as a kind of psychological intimidation.

"No!" On the other end of the phone, Stewie shouted "No" loudly and hung up the phone.

Li Xiao looked at the huge floor clock. The hour hand was already pointing to five o'clock.

It was still dark outside the window. Li Xiao sat up with his clothes on, looking at the dark night outside and fell into deep thought.

He did not expect that the Prussians would launch an attack at this time.

It is estimated that they must have heard about the retreat of the Ming Army's armored forces.

He rashly made a military gamble based on such a piece of information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Li Xiao admired the courage of Prussian Chief of Staff Moltke.

But the question now is how the Ming army responded.

There are only two cavalry regiments used for patrols in Minsk!

Now the fate of the two regiments is uncertain!

The remaining front is entirely on the side of the Russians.

A few years ago, the coalition formed a group to bully Russia. Many of its elite soldiers and generals were killed in battle. The death of elites has greatly damaged Russia's vitality.

Now it is absolutely impossible for the Russian army to start a military adventure in such a short period of time.

Even if Yekaterina supported the Ming Dynasty, she would not dare to make such a decision.

Because today's Russia cannot withstand too much turmoil, it just wants to develop steadily for decades and lick its wounds.

At dawn, Zhang Ergou received the order to take off.

More than a dozen Stukas took off one after another. This time they were going to patrol the western front that was being attacked.

In the back seat of each Stuka, there was no mechanic sitting to control the weapons as usual.

Instead, there was a photographer sitting with a camera in his hand!

This time they were not going to fight, but to investigate.

In order to increase the range, the bombs were not hung. Instead, they were replaced with auxiliary fuel tanks filled with fuel!

I'm afraid it will be a long flight this time, and the ride experience on the Stuka is not good at all.

After flying down for four hours, everyone might be shaken to pieces.

I hope this poor photographer can persevere and don't vomit on himself when he vomits.

The Stuka quickly reached an altitude of 6,000 meters and started sailing according to the established route.

A total of twelve Stukas were dispatched this time, just to find out how far the Western Front had reached.

Soon the Stuka flew over Smolensk, and the ground was filled with infantry reinforcements to the front line.

There were also horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts carrying military supplies.

Some second-line troops began to renovate the trenches and lowered their flying altitude. They could be seen digging the soil like marmots.

The road conditions were still bad, and cars got stuck in pits from time to time. No matter how hard the drivers beat them, the carriages were still stuck in the mud and couldn't move.

The photographer lost no time in pressing the shutter, and you could hear the "click" sound constantly coming from behind.

"What are you doing taking pictures of these things?" Zhang Ergou was a little confused. In Russia during this season, this should be considered a normal phenomenon.

Otherwise, the two powerful generals Ao Ye and Man Ye would not have moved their troops eastward to facilitate supply.

"What...!" The photographer put his ear closer.

"I said, why are you taking pictures of this?" Zhang Ergou was also a little helpless. In the past, he and the mechanics used to make gestures with their hands in the airplane.

There was no way, the engine noise was so loud that it was difficult for two people to hear what the other person was saying when their mouths were facing their ears.

In fact, many pilots already have symptoms of deafness.

"What?" Sure enough, the photographer still didn't hear clearly what Zhang Ergou was saying.

"Forget it!" Zhang Ergou shook his head helplessly.

When Stuka arrived in Minsk, Zhang Ergou was surprised to find that this place had turned into a battlefield.

There was smoke from explosions everywhere below, and if you lowered the height, you could see people on both sides shooting at each other.

Soon, anti-aircraft guns fired from the ground.

Zhang Ergou hurriedly pulled up, but taking advantage of this opportunity, the photographer had already captured several photos.

The Western Front has now become a mess.

The artillery fire was much denser than in Minsk, and the smoke from the explosion even formed a faint line of smoke on the ground.
