The commander-in-chief of the European Allied Forces, Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, was surrounded by his personal guards and looked towards the gray stone fortress in the distance.
He looked at the cheering Holy Roman troops standing on the fortress wall and said with emotion: "It was this fortress that blocked the Han army for half a month.
Reinforced concrete fortresses are far stronger than other structural fortresses.
Although the Han people are our enemies, we must learn from their excellent qualities.
The Han people invented gunpowder thousands of years ago.
In the use of firearms, we must also learn the tactics and tactics of the Han people. Only modesty can make people progress."
Alfred Hohenzollern, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Roman Empire, agreed: "What Prince Condé said is right.
We purchased a large amount of cement from Fujian and built a large number of fortresses in the Austrian plains.
This is why the whole territory was not occupied by the Han people like the Yugoslavs.
I thought the Ottoman Turks were very aggressive.
We have centuries of grudges with the Ottoman Turks, and their power has expanded around the Holy Roman Empire.
Before the Han people first appeared, our idea was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Use it to drain the strength of the Han by supporting the weaker Ottoman Turks.
Unexpectedly, the Han people were too strong and more aggressive.
They were expelling the Ottoman Turkish forces in Europe. You used powerful and brutal methods to stabilize the situation in the occupied areas, and immediately took action in the Austrian region.
If all the European countries had not worked together to form an alliance, our Holy Roman Empire would have probably disappeared into history."
Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, heard the news of the retreat of the Han army.
He was very happy at that time. The Han army chose to retreat because they were afraid of the millions of allies under his command.
What worried Prince Louis II de Bourbon of Condé most was that the Han army was not afraid of them at all.
The Han army will also charge against them with a small number of troops.
Once this happens, it proves that the Han army has no fear of them at all.
His next battle will be cautious.
When two unfamiliar armies first come into contact, the method is to test each other.
Only when you test out the opponent's true capabilities will you choose to take action with all your strength.
Their allies had just tested it, and the Han army's response was to retreat.
This shows that the commander-in-chief of the Han army was not sure of victory against the Allied forces.
Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, was a veteran of the battlefield for many years.
He knew that this was a sign of cowardice on the part of the other party. He looked at Alfred Hohenzollern, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Roman Empire, who was extremely excited because the crisis in Vienna had been resolved.
The other generals looked at the gray stone fortress in front of them in a daze.
Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, knew that the country of these generals had not been attacked by a powerful firearms army such as the Han army.
There is no such a huge fortress system in China like the Gray Stone Fortress.
Before, many people looked down on the Holy Roman Empire and believed that the glory of the Holy Roman Empire was gone.
Now it seems that the Holy Roman Empire is not weak at all. If it were their country, it is likely that the entire territory would have been occupied by the Han people.
The generals of these small countries were reluctant to join the Allied Army before, but now they are really willing to join the Allied Army.
If they in Europe do not unite, they will definitely be defeated individually by the Han people.
Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, noticed the change in the thinking of many people.
He raised his right hand holding the pistol, pointing the muzzle far to the east.
"Our allies can scare the Han army into fleeing with just a name.
The strength of our allied forces has been recognized by the Han army.
This time we send troops, we will definitely win."
Prince Condé's confident look infected the top brass of the European Allied Forces, and they had more confidence in the future war.
Most of the soldiers of the European Allied Forces were camped outside the Graystone Fortress.
Alfred Hohenzollern, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Roman Empire, led Prince Condé and others into the Gray Stone Fortress.
General Hill of the Holy Roman Empire, who was stationed at Graystone Fortress, greeted everyone with a relaxed expression.
When Alfred Hohenzollern, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Roman Empire, stepped into the Gray Stone Fortress, he praised: "You have made great contributions to the Gray Stone Fortress, and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward you."
They looked at the gray stone fortress leaning against the east wall.
There are many craters on the city wall, some of which have broken steel bars, exposing rusty fractures.
When everyone saw the craters on the city wall, they knew how brutal the battle to defend the city was.
General Hill said fearfully: "The morale and ammunition reserves of Greystone Fortress can only sustain us for another seven days of fighting.
I knew that the Allied forces had arrived in Vienna, and I wrote every day urging them to dispatch troops as soon as possible.
Fortunately, you sent troops in time. Once the Gray Stone Fortress is lost, Vienna will be undefeated."
After General Hill said this, he changed his tone and talked about the current situation on the battlefield.
"After the Han people withdrew, I was afraid that they would pretend to withdraw and guard the city gate, not daring to send troops out.
It wasn't until the next day that the Han people left only a messy camp, and I realized that the Han people had really withdrawn.
I immediately sent a small force to explore outside the fortress.
I found that in the previously occupied city, all the Han troops and dignitaries had fled, leaving only a few civilians.
According to the direction in which the Han people retreated, they had already withdrawn from the Austrian area.
If our goal this time is to regain the entire territory of Austria, then this war will basically be a success."
Prince Louis II de Bourbon of Condé looked up into the distance and said firmly:
"The goals of our battle have been set by the monarchs of various countries before we set out for the campaign.
There is only one goal, to drive the Han people out of Europe.
Unless this goal is achieved, the Allied forces will never retreat."
General Hill was deeply shocked when he heard Prince Condé's passionate words.
This war can really drive the Han people out of Europe, and they can at least gain decades of peace.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alfred Hohenzollern, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Roman Empire, thought for a moment, and he ordered: "I will lead the main force to follow the Allied forces and wait for opportunities.
Find the main force of the Han army for a decisive battle.
General Hill, there are no enemy troops around Graystone Fortress.
You should take more responsibility and withdraw the Han troops from the Austrian area.
General Hill should lead his troops to recover the occupied territory."
When General Hill heard this order, he immediately showed joy.
The main force of the Han army has withdrawn from the Austrian area. This is the true situation that he sent people to investigate.
He now only needs to dispatch a small number of troops to regain the occupied areas and achieve outstanding feats.
This is a safe and highly rewarding mission. No matter which noble you are, you will be happy to receive this mission.
General Hill responded happily: "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely lead the army to complete this mission.
Sir, what should we do with the nobles and common people who have taken refuge with the Han people?"
Alfred Hohenzollern, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Roman Empire, thought for a while, and then asked Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, for his opinion.
"General Hill, the nobles have betrayed their faith and His Majesty the Emperor.
Take them to Vienna and hand them over to His Majesty the Emperor for trial in person.
As for those leaders who betrayed their faith, they were directly hanged.
The Lord will forgive the foolish people who follow these faithless people.
Condemn them to sin and hand them over to the pastor of the local church for conversion."
When General Hill heard about the arrangement, he knew exactly how to deal with the people in the occupied areas.
After visiting the Gray Stone Fortress, Prince Louis II de Bourbon of Condé and his party went to stay in the houses of the fortress.
Louis II de Bourbon entered the house where he was staying.
He sat at his desk, took out his pen and diary, and recorded what he observed today.
The fortress made of reinforced concrete is very strong. Under the same technical conditions, it is impossible to break the fortress without paying several times the casualties.
This will be one of the means by which France will respond to crises in the future.
…………………………
The commander of the European Allied Forces, Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, used a telescope to observe the main force of the Han army near the hills ahead.
The Confederates were encamped in the hills below him.
The army left Graystone Fortress without encountering any resistance along the way.
The Han army completely evacuated the Austrian area.
The Confederate march was like an ordinary walk.
They arrived at the area where the Yugoslavs originally gathered, now named Quling by the Han people.
When Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, saw this complex of hills, he knew that the coming war would not be easy to fight.
Of course, a task like pathfinding, which involves huge casualties, must be left to cannon fodder.
After the Russian serf soldiers were trained, they at least learned how to shoot.
Their guns were inaccurate and the bullets didn't know where to fly.
But as long as you hit it forward, it still has a certain power.
The Russian commander-in-chief Vladimir Ivanovich, a Russian nobleman, did not treat his soldiers as the same kind at all.
He sent out a team to supervise the Russian cannon fodder to attack the hills defended by the Han people.
From time to time, the sound of landmine explosions could be heard at the feet of the soldiers.
Every step they take, they are likely to be hit by bullets fired from the hillside ahead.
Especially when the water-cooled heavy machine gun unique to the Han people fires, the constant clicking sound is simply a reminder.
The Russian army is like being harvested by a scythe, they keep falling.
The soldiers at the rear continued to move forward, stepping on the bloody water.
The Allied forces had to pay more than 20,000 casualties to capture a small hill.
Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, watched the deployment of the Han army at the front.
Especially the four water-cooled heavy machine guns mounted on the top of the hill.
Without paying the price of tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to break through the fire defense of the water-cooled heavy machine gun.
Russian commander-in-chief Vladimir Ivanovich reassured the good officers.
He believed that the war could not continue like this, so he united the commanders of various countries to come to Prince Kong Dai to discuss the next war.
He said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, Prince Kong Dai, we cannot confront the Han army head-on.
Just by conquering this small hill, our army suffered more than 20,000 casualties.
An army of 300,000 cannot withstand several losses.
There is some restlessness in the army now. If there are another 300,000 casualties, the army will definitely collapse."
As a veteran on the battlefield, Prince Kong Dai knew that when most of the army suffered two or three casualties, the officers would lose control of the army and the army would slowly wither away.
He said apologetically: "This time your army suffered heavy casualties because I deliberately tested the strength of the Han army.
Their numbers are small, but their strength is indeed very strong.
Against such a powerful army, it is very difficult to win in just a few decisive battles.
We must take advantage of favorable conditions to amplify the enemy's unfavorable conditions.
The most favorable condition for us is that we fight on our own soil, whether it is ammunition supply or food supply.
They can all be transferred through Vienna. The battlefield is too close to Vienna.
According to the information we have learned, the core area where the Han people operate is Egypt.
Their weapons and ammunition production mainly relies on factories on both sides of the Nile River in Egypt.
Egypt and Eastern Europe are not major food producing areas.
The Han army needed to transport food, weapons and ammunition from overseas.
They store a lot of weapons and ammunition in Eastern Europe.
But these stocks will be exhausted after a few wars.
At that time, the balance of victory will definitely tilt towards our army."
Russian commander-in-chief Vladimir Ivanovich, as a veteran on the battlefield, heard this strategic arrangement and felt that it was full of loopholes.
He frowned and reminded: "Your Excellency Prince Kong Dai, if our army wants to achieve this strategy, the most critical point is to block the Han people's shipping.
However, the Han navy was famous far and wide.
It is impossible to block the maritime supplies of the Han army, and it will have no effect at all if it is consumed.
On the contrary, there is a huge gap between our industrial strength and that of the Han people, and it may be our army that is being dragged down."
Prince Louis II de Bourbon of Condé raised the corners of his mouth and gave a mysterious smile without further explanation.
He simply said: "European Allied Forces, France is responsible for army affairs.
English is responsible for naval affairs.
We just need to fight our own battle well. I can guarantee that Han cargo ships will not be able to supply the army here in a short time.
Our current mission is to continuously consume the enemy forces on the opposite side.
Even if we have to pay some price, as long as the enemy on the opposite side runs out of ammunition and food, victory will belong to us."
After hearing Prince Condé's assurance, the commanders of the Allied Forces decided to give it a try.
The intensity of the war between the two armies continues to decrease, but the frequency of the war continues to increase.
When Prince Kong Dai saw that his own casualties were increasing, the casualties of the other side were also increasing.
The Allied forces could only rush into a position 200 meters away from the opponent's front line at the beginning.
After many days of testing, the current army has been able to rush into the fifty-meter position.
In this position, some strong men can already throw grenades into the opponent's position.
The casualties of the Han army continued to increase.
Prince Kong Dai's choice of a war of attrition has obviously worked.
His current task is to continuously put pressure on the Han army.
When the time comes, these more than 200,000 Han troops will disintegrate in an instant.
…………………………
Bian Yuhe, the commander of the brave army, roared: "Send a report to Cairo and ask the navy to find a way to transport the supplies as soon as possible.
What is the use of transporting supplies to Greece? Quling is too far away from Greece. There is not even a decent highway between the two places, let alone railways.
By the time the supplies were transported to the front line, we had already been defeated.
Tell the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang that we only have seven days of supplies left, only seven days left."
After Bian Yuhe finished speaking, he sat on the chair dejectedly.
The heroic army retreated to the Quling area, and he was confident that he could withstand the attack of the European Allies.
The progress before the war also proved that his confidence was not rootless.
However, as cargo ships at sea were attacked by unknown weapons from the European Allies, shipping was suddenly cut off.
What he was most worried about happened.
The Heroic Army has already experienced a shortage of supplies, especially the machine gun bullets have been used up and there are not many rifle bullets left.
