"General, we have good news." A messenger excitedly ran to Rundstedt and saluted.

"What good news!" Rundstedt raised his head and looked at the panting private.

"In the city...! The Lithuanians in the city have revolted, and many Lithuanians are helping us kill the Russians." The messenger said breathlessly.

"Oh! This is a good thing. Give these people weapons.

Order Stewart to attack the Russian weapons depot. All captured weapons will be distributed to the Lithuanians."

Rundstedt was so excited that he dozed off and fell asleep on the pillow.

Suffering from insufficient troops, they did not expect that the Lithuanians would revolt at this time.

"But... General, how do you tell Lithuanians apart?"

"Idiot, anyone who doesn't speak Ming dialect or Russian dialect can say it." Rundstedt felt that the staff officer had something in his head.

At this time, there is no distinction between Lithuanians. As long as they are not hostile Russians or Ming people, they can all issue weapons.

"Yes!" The staff officer quickly stood at attention, then ran to the telephone and conveyed the order to the following.

Just as Geng Jingzhong gathered his troops, the reconnaissance company was beaten back.

"The leader is a Prussian. The number of people is unknown, but there are a lot of them. There are machine guns and mortars, and the machine guns fire very accurately.

We were attacked by Lithuanians who came out of nowhere and lost five brothers."

The deputy commander of the reconnaissance company who came back to report had two wounds on his body in just ten minutes of fighting.

The wound on his arm was bleeding continuously.

"Hiss...!" Geng Jingzhong took a breath, his grandmother was so unlucky.

On the first night after arriving in Minsk, we were attacked by the Prussians.

However, many years of military experience told him that the most important thing now was to rush out first.

Instead of listening to Molotov, defend this bullshit city with him.

"First Battalion, charge out for me. Second Battalion follows behind, and Third Battalion leads the entire battalion's horses to the rear. No matter what, I must charge out for me.

After leaving the city, mount your horse and retreat in the direction of Smolensk."

By this time, Geng Jingzhong had become ruthless and had to rush out no matter what, otherwise he would either become a prisoner of the Prussians or be beaten to death.

Geng Jingzhong never thought of dying in battle, of course, the end would be even worse if he was a prisoner.

I already have a disgraceful resume, but if I become a prisoner again..., hehe!

The future of this life is ruined, and the efforts of two generations of the Geng family are in vain.

"Brother Geng, let's rush out." Kong Tingxun was already dead.

"Follow me! Idiot, don't ride on the horse, come down." Geng Jingzhong turned around and saw Kong Tingxun dumbfounded.

This idiot is actually riding a horse!

He dared to ride a horse in a street fight. He just hated himself for dying so slowly.

Soon, the sound of Aka rifles was heard near the station.

Although they were cavalry, the Ming army cavalry was also equipped with mortars.

Most of the cavalry regiments are Mongolians, and they are all old soldiers left over from Mangui.

Because he didn't have enough brains, he was thrown out by the First Cavalry Division.

The illumination flare rose into the air, and the moment the illumination flare reflected the Prussian army, the mortar shell immediately flew out of the barrel.

Before the Prussian commandos understood what was going on, an entire infantry squad was engulfed by artillery fire.

Each infantry squad of the Ming Army was equipped with a grenade.

At this time, all the ammunition of the third battalion was assigned to the first battalion.

In street fighting, the best weapons to use are grenades and grenades.

The grenade can be used as a small mortar.

Especially when the gunner climbed to the roof, he felt like a fish in water.

Because of the angle, when the Prussian soldiers below fired upwards, they couldn't be hit at all.

But they were able to take advantage of the convenience of grenade launchers to bombard the Prussian soldiers who were exposed to the flares unscrupulously.

The grenade is not only powerful, but if it explodes about one meter away from a person, it is still impossible for that person to survive.

With a battalion of veterans at the front, Aka rifles and light machine guns fired extremely accurately.

After a while, we rushed forward for more than 500 meters. After passing two streets, we could reach the city gate.

"Commander, we were attacked by those damn Minsk people."

"Idiot, why are you reporting to me?

The task at this time is to shoot, shoot at everyone who is not our army.

No matter if the other party is a three-year-old baby or an eighty-year-old woman.

Anyone who blocks our way is our enemy.

Anyone we see who we think is hostile can be shot without reporting it."

Geng Jingzhong’s eyes were already red at this time!

He knew that the time of life and death had come.

"promise!"

As the order was conveyed, the gunshots around him became intense in an instant.

Gunshots, like exploding beans, were heard one after another all around, and I couldn't hear the number at all.

The Ming army shot at anyone not wearing Ming army uniforms, including Russians who tried to get closer.

Because many soldiers doubted whether these were Prussians wearing Russian military uniforms.

The road to break out of the siege was a bloody road, with countless corpses lying along the road.

Shooting ordinary people without any psychological burden on the soldiers.

If they dared to do this in Ming Dynasty, they would be cut to pieces. But if they do this in Minsk, no one will hold them accountable.

Geng Jingzhong's cavalry regiment was like a hedgehog made of bullets. Anyone who tried to get close was attacked by hot iron pieces.

No one knows how many people fell in a pool of blood on this cold night.

"General! The Ming Dynasty's firepower is very fierce, we can't stop them. They are about to rush to the south gate!"

Inside Rundstedt's headquarters, the staff officer said eagerly.

"The Ming army is indeed worthy of its reputation. Stuart, take your people to guard the south gate.

No matter what, this Ming army must be blocked in the city.

As long as we hold on until tomorrow night, we will have support. The Russian army is under full attack from our army, and they do not have the strength to assist Minsk."

Rundstedt knew that at this moment, 400,000 Prussian troops were launching an attack from the border line of more than a hundred miles long with thunderous momentum.

The news before the war was that the elite Ming army had withdrawn to the east of Moscow.

Although it is difficult to defeat the Ming army, the Prussians are still confident of defeating the Russian army.

Besides, the Prussians are only the first echelon.

The remaining French, Spanish, and British expeditionary forces will continue to penetrate deeper through the breakthrough opened by the Prussians.

If we can reach the Dnieper River before December, we can use the natural barrier of the Dnieper River as a barrier to resist the Ming army's counterattack.

Just as Rundstedt was issuing the order, he suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet was shaking.

Then, he saw the map on the table shaking.

Rundstedt, who had fought a lifetime of fighting, immediately understood what had happened.

"Ready to fight, it's cavalry!"

The Prussian army used to have cavalry as an arm, but with the birth of the machine gun, the cavalry quickly disappeared from the Prussian army.

The reason is very simple. The cavalrymen who have a big target in front of the machine gun are the targets.

Especially the Maxim's high rate of fire and powerful bullets gave the cavalry no room to survive.

The Polish cavalry and Lithuanian cavalry fell under the guns of the Ming Dynasty, which made the Prussian General Staff feel that it was a correct decision to abolish the cavalry.

Since the Prussians had no cavalry, those who came at this time were definitely not their own.

Could it be that... they are the vassal Cossack cavalry of the Russians?

Without any time to think, Rundstedt was escorted out of the temporary command post by his staff.

In the dense woods, Rundstedt saw a group of dark cavalry, which overturned his tent in an instant.

The rifles in the cavalry's hands were spitting out tongues of fire.
