In the next hour, the Russian soldiers in Chita, who were far away from the European battlefield and had never truly felt the power of coagulated qi decoys, knew what hell was.
The Thunder bombers taking off from Hylar can each carry up to three tons of coagulation bombs. Two hundred of them brought a full 600 tons. This is no longer a tactical level bombing. This was the original historical Le Mei's burning of Tokyo.
The rhythm. Although Chita is considered a famous city in the Far East, such a famous city in a remote border area is completely different from a large city in a densely populated area. To put it bluntly, it is the size of a medium-sized county in China, and
The Russians also like to use local materials when building houses. The effect of these 600 tons of solidified qi decoy bombs scattered in such a small place is naturally needless to say.
In just ten minutes, the entire Chita had completely turned into a dazzling torch. The Chinese soldiers attacking the city could even feel the heat brought by the wind and the contaminants inside from a distance of more than ten kilometers.
The smell of barbecue.
Wang Shizhen couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of her old friend's current situation. When she recalled the scene of fighting side by side, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh, why bother? Remember to remind me to write a letter to his family when I have time, and apologize to his wife and children. Although they are their own masters, they are still friends after all. In case he dies, the family's livelihood
It's difficult, so I can take them to China to take care of them. I remember his daughter only went to middle school this year, alas!" General Wang and Earl Wang said with a sad expression.
The adjutant next to him suppressed his laughter and quickly nodded in agreement.
As for the subsequent battle in Chita, it can no longer be called a battle. The 20,000 Russian troops who defended the city were burned to death and nearly 10,000 were burned. Before the fire was extinguished, the Seventh Army was surrounded and they were immediately surrounded.
Artillery of various calibers ranging from 05 to 280 was bombarded for an hour. At the end of the day, the Chinese soldiers who entered the city turned into corpse collectors. Soon the Seventh Army captured Chita, annihilating 16,000 enemies and capturing four
Thousands, the news of the killing of General Kondratenko, the top commander of the Russian Army in the Far East, was sent to Beijing.
At the same time, the news that the Sixth Army led by Feng Guozhang had captured Khabarovsk with the help of Chinese expatriates was also sent to Emperor Yang.
It was also very relaxed on his side. Because Khabarovsk is only separated from China by a river, more than one-third of the population is actually Chinese, and many of these people are major local businessmen. The Russian troops stationed in this city were also
They were riddled with corrosion. After Feng Guozhang completed the pre-war deployment on the west bank of the Ussuri River, he immediately contacted the Chinese in Khabarovsk. Because the Far East is relatively barbaric, basically every household has some long and short guns.
After learning that war with Russia was about to begin, the Chinese in the city were already prepared to cooperate internally and externally. As soon as Emperor Yang's edict declaring war was read, the people here took action.
Because there was no sign that China was about to go to war with Russia, the Russian troops stationed in Khabarovsk did not take any precautions at all. Most of them were not even at their posts at the time. As soon as these Chinese took action, the city immediately fell into chaos, followed by a division.
The Chinese soldiers crossed the Ussuri River and entered Khabarovsk on solid ice.
However, after entering the city, they encountered a stubborn resistance. After the initial chaos, the Russian troops stationed in Khabarovsk started street fighting under the leadership of a lieutenant general who was demoted to brigade commander due to the failure of the Eastern Front. So it was not until now that
Completely occupy this city.
So far, the only major Russian strongholds in the Far East are Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi. Of course, it will take some time to finally take over this vast land. After all, it is so big that it is almost the same size as the entire China, like Kamchatka.
There are still some Russians in Sakhalin Island. Since it is fully occupied, these illegal immigrants must naturally be cleared out. The main task of the Chinese Army in the Far East is to capture and repatriate these illegal immigrants from Russia.
of illegal immigration.
This is an arduous task. At least several million people need to be evicted. As for the issue of vacating this land after evicting these people, we will consider it later. It is like having too many houses to live in.
, but even if it is empty, it cannot be given to others. It is nothing more than gradual immigration and development in the future. When the resources on this land are gradually explored, the capitalists will flock here without special arrangements.
As for the remaining Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi, there is no need to consider this. Alexeyev will be destroyed if he does not surrender. When the artillery positions on the front are built, the Russians can have a taste of water tank cannons.
The news that the Chinese Army defeated Ulan-Ude, Chita, and Khabarovsk in less than a week, and almost wiped out all the Russian troops in the Far East, made everyone who was watching the battlefield in the Far East drop their jaws. Although they knew that the Chinese Army
The combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the German army, but it is still unbelievable that it is so powerful. Especially the appearance of heavy bombers has frightened all the Allied Powers, which also made them more entangled with the question of whether to continue the war.
Because at this time, the British army had captured Bremen. Although the German troops defending the city resisted tenaciously, the gap in strength was too big, especially on this battlefield, which also included an army of North American troops, those in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington.
Driven by these unforgettable names, the North American soldiers marched forward with the fury of revenge, and their bravery and tenacity even moved the German army.
In order to prevent their homeland from being completely reduced to ruins, after five days of persistent resistance, the German army sadly withdrew from the city. On the northern front, the British army also relied on powerful artillery fire cover and cleared part of the channel at the mouth of the Elbe, along the
The cruisers coming up from the river supported and occupied more than half of Hamburg. It can be said that victory is just around the corner.
However, the participation of Spain and the Ottoman Empire in the war definitely forced the French and Russian armies to deploy troops from the front line to defend southern France and Russia's Crimea and Caucasus regions respectively. In this way, the pressure on the Allies on the east and west fronts was relieved at the same time.
After the Germans detached the Seventh Army from the eastern front, they drew one corps from each front, and added an army supported by the Dutch to form the Seventeenth Army and put it into homeland defense.
But even so, the situation on the German battlefield is still favorable to Britain, because at this time the last batch of US troops has arrived. In view of the combat effectiveness they showed in Bremen, this batch of US troops will all be deployed on the German battlefield, bringing the total to 200,000
, plus two armies and 300,000 British troops, the total strength of the Allies on the German battlefield would reach 500,000, and even if the Germans added the 17th Army that was being formed, it would only be 300,000.
What's more, North American President Taft has announced that he will mobilize at least three million North American troops, of which one million will stay at home and the other two million will be deployed on the European battlefield. The people of the United States of America will resolutely defend justice and freedom in Europe.
This situation is indeed very confusing. According to the calculations of the British Army General Staff, based on the current strength comparison in Germany, the British and American coalition forces will be able to reach Berlin in one month at most. Seeing that victory is within reach, but
To surrender to the enemy, let alone the British government, even the ordinary soldiers who were advancing at an unstoppable pace in Germany could not figure it out.
After all, the Chinese have traveled thousands of miles to get here, and it’s still early.
As for the Ottoman and Spanish armies, the combat effectiveness of the former can be ignored in the eyes of the British. The sick man of Europe has only relied on Yang Feng to make a comeback in recent years. Moreover, the situation of the Ottoman Empire's army is similar to that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or even more serious. It is completely
It was just a bunch of messy ethnic groups put together, and basically none of these ethnic groups were peaceful. Austria and Hungary, the two main components of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, could at least achieve a certain degree of unity, but the Ottoman Empire was completely
If the Turks can support themselves, it would be great if other ethnic groups don't stab them in the back.
As for the latter, their main forces are in the Americas, with only 200,000 people in the country. Even if they mobilize Spain with a population of less than 20 million, they won't be able to raise much. What's more, they have Portugal holding them back, and they must pass through to attack France.
In the Pyrenees, a mountainous area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, one French army group was enough to stop the Spanish.
In this way, after analyzing the European war situation, the three Allied Powers decided to continue to struggle.
Even Nicholas himself turned a blind eye to the war situation in the Far East and did not even send troops to reinforce there. Of course, he had no troops to reinforce. After all, he still had to deal with the Ottomans on the southern front at this time, and was attacking Portugal in Spain.
When they launched an attack on Gibraltar, the Ottomans also began to attack the Caucasus. At the same time, the Ottoman navy also entered the Black Sea and made it clear that it would attack Crimea. Therefore, except for his wife sending an angry telegram to Yang Feng, there was no other statement.
Obviously they were still waiting to see how the war situation would change and whether they could deal with Germany before the Chinese arrived in Europe.
But before that, there is still something that they must solve.
This is the control of the sea in the Mediterranean. If you want to stop the Chinese, you must control the Mediterranean routes. But now the Austro-Hungarian and Greek fleets are rampant in the Mediterranean, so after some repairs, the British and French have thirteen remaining battleships.
They all fought back to the Mediterranean. The Greek fleet, which was harassing British and French merchant ships in the Western Mediterranean, was so frightened that it ran back to the naval port in Athens and hid.
After learning that the reinforcements had arrived, the Italian fleet, which had been held in the Taranto military port for several years, also came out. The Austro-Hungarian fleet, which was originally planning to continue blocking them, had to withdraw to the Strait of Otranto to prepare after understanding the situation at hand.
