"Well, it would be very bad if they don't participate. After all, we still need to act in concert in the Americas. Don't they want to add another colony in the Americas? Originally, I thought that Jamaica should be given to them, not to mention North America.
It is impossible for them not to participate in the battle no matter what. Spain has declared war on North America, and the British do not need any reason to fight them." Yang Feng said seriously. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor must not have thought this way in his heart. Over the years,
Spain is developing smoothly, which is also very bad. A turmoil would be very beneficial to their growth.
In fact, not only Spain, but also the Ottoman Empire and Mexico sometimes need to make their road ahead a little bumpy. Smooth sailing is not good. Over the years, Emperor Yang thought that he was a little too friendly to these allies, especially countries like Kazakhstan.
An oil tycoon like Meade II who was quite ambitious and had no shortage of money did not want to create a villain for himself in the Middle East.
After Emperor Yang appropriately expressed his dissatisfaction and clarified the benefits he would get, Canovas had nothing to hesitate. In fact, he was just trying it out, although the number of people in Spain regarded him as a dictator.
There were quite a few, but there were also many people who compared him to Spain's Bismarck. They also tended to the Allies. So on the day after the Chinese Army captured the Twin Cities, Spain officially announced that it would join the Allies and declare war on the Allied Powers. Immediately after Spain
The army began to attack Portugal.
At this time, the British army also relied on more than twice the numerical advantage to defeat the blocking German army and invaded Bremen. About 20,000 German troops and 20,000 organized militiamen who retreated to the city launched fierce street battles with the British army.
The British troops finally reached the outside of Hamburg, and the 240mm field howitzers assigned to them even began to bombard the city of Hamburg.
Far East, Ulan-Ude, Lieutenant General Smirnov, the commander of the Russian army stationed in this city, looked at the sky above him as if he was stupid. More than a hundred twin-engine aircraft that he had never seen or imagined.
The large bomber was hovering with its dazzling metallic light, and from time to time it would dive down like a golden eagle preying on its prey. Each dive would drop one or several bombs, and these bombs would fall from the sky at high speed with a sharp whistling sound.
, even more terrifying than the shells of super-large-caliber howitzers. The latter cannot be as accurate as them. As long as any firepower point that can fight is discovered, a group of bombers will immediately surround it within a minute and blow it into a pile of rubble.
.
He really couldn't imagine how the Chinese managed to conjure up these huge heavy bombers.
There have indeed been bombers on the European battlefield, some using two or even four engines. They can carry up to one ton of bombs. They are made of wood, canvas, steel pipes, plywood and the like. Their speed is not even as fast as an airship. They can carry some five kilograms or ten.
Kilogram small bombs, but what are these? Made of all metal, the heavy bombs are as powerful as 280 artillery shells and can be thrown almost endlessly. The speed is even faster than the only ten fighter jets in his hand, and not only
Hurry up, those fighter jets are as ridiculous as a bunch of ducks chasing hounds compared to them.
"How long has His Majesty the Emperor in Beijing been preparing for this war?" He murmured to himself with a wry smile.
An aircraft fleet of this size cannot be manufactured in a day or two, and it is impossible to train pilots to be able to directly hit a bunker with a bomb at an altitude of several hundred meters in a day or two, or even in a month or two.
It probably takes years to master the technology. In other words, at least a year ago, the Chinese had produced this kind of bomber and prepared for the bombing of Ulan-Ude. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was still giving Russia
Provide loans!
Of course, it was meaningless to study Emperor Yang's insidiousness at this time, at least to Lieutenant General Smirnov. From the moment these bombers appeared overhead and dropped heavy bombs one after another, he already understood that he
It was impossible to defend the city. He only had two infantry divisions with 30,000 men in his hands. There were no tanks and no heavy artillery. Although there were a large number of forts, these forts looked like they had been built by themselves in the face of the heavy bombs falling from the sky.
Graves, and the Chinese heavy siege artillery has not yet arrived because the railway has not been repaired. Once those terrifying 280mm howitzers join the battlefield, the consequences will be even more tragic.
"General, Mr. He wants to see you!" At this time, a staff officer walked up to him and said in a low voice. As the top official at the most important hub of Sino-Russian trade, Lieutenant General Smirnov has many Chinese friends. Every year he
I received many gifts from these Chinese friends that reflected their friendship, and this Mr. He is the most important one among them.
Lieutenant General Smirnov hesitated for a moment with a gloomy face, then sighed and looked at the huge tank group that was gradually becoming clearer in the distance and said: "Ask him to wait for me in the office."
Two hours later, Lieutenant General Smirnov, commander of the 73rd Army of the Russian Army and deputy commander of the Transbaikal Military District, led his 25,000 Russian troops to attack the Chinese Army armored vehicles in Ulan-Ude, which had been bombed for three hours.
The 1st Division Commander Nie Xianfan surrendered. It had only been less than two hours since this division commander led his armored division to the city. When the news spread, all parties were in an uproar.
Of course, they would not know that just after the Russian army surrendered, more than a thousand officers at all levels, including Lieutenant General Smirnov, received Chinese citizenship personally granted by Emperor Yang and then disappeared into the vast crowd of people in China.
At sea. As for their soldiers, they were repatriated to Russia through neutral countries like the Russian immigrants who were sent to concentration camps. Later, due to a series of unfair treatment they suffered after returning to the country, these people eventually became the main force in the Russian civil strife, and even one of them
A soldier also became one of the executioners who shot Nicholas.
Capturing Ulan-Ude is actually equivalent to completely closing the door to Transbaikal and the Russian Far Eastern Frontier. From now on, all Russian troops in this vast land of more than 10 million square kilometers have become lone troops. They will no longer
Get any support.
At the same time as Ulan-Ude was captured, the Seventh Army of the Army with the Second Armored Division as the forward also left Tianyou and reached Chita within two days. However, their opponents were not as strong as Lieutenant General Smirnov.
It was easy to talk, and the commander of the Russian Transbaikal Military District stationed in Chita refused to persuade him to surrender, and led a division and a half of Russian troops to hold on to the city.
"Damn, I can't persuade you with good words. I originally wanted to give him a chance by fighting side by side with him in New York. Since he doesn't appreciate it, don't blame me for being ruthless." Wang Shizhen, commander of the Seventh Group Army, looked depressed.
He said eloquently that Kondratenko, the commander of the Russian army in Chita, was the brigade commander of the Russian army during the Battle of New York. He was also the only commander of the Russian army in the Far East. He worked with Wang Shizhen in New York to kidnap and extort those American Wall Street executives.
Crocodiles are also very happy.
"Commander, mobilize the field heavy artillery brigade and use water tank cannons to fire them." A staff officer next to him said with a sly smile. Because the railway transportation was smooth, the general staff sent two strategic-level weapons equipped with 540 giant self-propelled guns.
One of the field heavy artillery brigades was assigned to this group army. This huge mortar with a terrifying caliber was vividly named a water tank gun by the soldiers who had seen them. There were ten of them in this brigade.
.
"That thing is just a decoration. It's so powerful. What's the use? It takes more than half a month just to build the position, and it also has to be poured with concrete. Didn't you see that the Third Army has not taken a step forward after taking the twin cities? Isn't it like this?
There is no need to consider the strongest fortresses like the twin cities of Vladivostok. By the time they are set up, we would have wiped out the entire Zabaikal. Besides, if there is something better, send a telegram to Shenyang, requesting the use of bombers for support, and add a sentence
, no ordinary bombs, all solidified qi decoy bombs." Wang Shizhen said with a grim smile.
After receiving his telegram, General Wang Zhong, the commander of the Shenyang Military Region who was fully responsible for the Far East Theater, immediately issued an order to the aviation bomber unit to bomb Chita. All 200 Thunder heavy bombers of the Shenyang Military Region were mounted on it.
The coagulated qi decoy bomb specially requested by Wang Shizhen then took off from the frontline airport in Hailar and went straight to Chita.
At this time, Kondratenko was still waiting to face his old friend in Chita with his loyalty to the Tsar and the Russian Empire. In fact, the army commander had less troops than Smirnov. Although he
He is the commander of the group army, but he only has three armies in total, one in Ulan-Ude and one in Khabarovsk, which also needs heavy troops. The rest are scattered along the long Sino-Russian border from Chita to Khabarovsk.
The headquarters in Chita only has the group army headquarters and one infantry division. As for the Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi defenders, they belong to the Vladivostok Fortress Headquarters where Alexeyev works part-time.
With the 20,000 people he currently has in his hands, he will definitely not be able to defend Chita. He knows this very well, but even if he cannot, he will still have to show the courage and fighting spirit of the Russian emperor. He will never be like Chita.
A coward like Mirnov surrenders like an enemy.
"The noble white people will never surrender to the yellow people. Warriors of the Russian Empire, now is the time to show our courage. We would rather die in battle than surrender. For Russia, for the Tsar, fight, and use your roar to conquer China."
People, tremble! Let Chita become a meat grinder that minces their flesh and blood, and let your defense line become a steel embankment that blocks Huang Huo!" The commander, waving his fists, was doing pre-battle instructions to his soldiers.
Mobilization, and then suddenly there was a faint roar of an engine overhead.
He raised his head in astonishment and saw countless silver fighter planes in the southeastern sky, backed by the sun, getting bigger, more numerous, and becoming clearer in the blue sky. (To be continued...)
