In the dilapidated headquarters in Almaty, General Zasulich looked at the 280mm howitzers that were being erected outside and began to struggle.
At this time, those chariot troops and cavalry who had nothing to do after clearing the surrounding Russian troops also ran outside Almaty in high spirits. It was obvious that once the infantry started a general attack, these guys were also ready to join in the fun.
Although they dare to go around Almaty, they definitely don't dare to continue attacking Bishkek regardless of where they are.
The reality that hundreds of thousands of troops gathered outside the city finally calmed down General Zasulich and the remaining less than 15,000 Russian troops under his command. At this time, there was news that the 11th Group Army of the Chinese Army, which had set out from Dihua, began to attack Alashankou.
, also made them completely despair. After enduring the indiscriminate bombing for a full half month, General Zasulich, commander of the Russian 18th Army, led the army headquarters and its 13,500 Russian officers and soldiers to China
The Seventh Army of the Army surrendered.
Immediately afterwards, the Second Armored Division led by Gao Mingjun began to rush towards Bishkek again, but this time there were no enemies in front of him. The Russian 16th Group Army reinforced Bishkek from Tashkent, Kokand and other places.
At this time, the nearest one was about 200 kilometers away from Bishkek, and the original Russian army in Bishkek was the two Cossack divisions that he and the cavalry teamed up to kill. This guy followed the Russian military
Highway once again played a lightning raid, and this time he drove the chariot into Bishkek in only six hours.
At this time, a bloody battle was also taking place in Belgrade in the distant European Serbia. Although the Third North American Army led by Lieutenant General Bliss traveled day and night, because the Austrians completely destroyed the railways and roads, they still
If you fail to get to this crucial city before the Austrian Royal Guards, you will have to fight with your life. But there is good news, because the damage is too serious. It will take at least another week for the Bulgarian railway to be restored.
It has been completely repaired, and the Serbian guerrillas are also very tenacious in blocking it, so the Chinese who are heading north cannot defeat it for the time being.
Another good news is that the US-British coalition forces have reached Magdeburg, which is only a hundred kilometers away from Berlin, which means victory is just around the corner.
"Young men, the last hope rests on you. Use your courage and your will to smash through Belgrade and the Austrian fortress. For freedom and justice, charge forward!" General Bliss waved.
He personally shouted at his soldiers with his saber in hand.
So amidst the whistling of artillery shells, the North American soldiers launched a fierce charge towards Belgrade. Opposite them was the 50,000 Austro-Hungarian army led by Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or it could simply be said that the Austrian army
This army is basically composed of Austrian Germans. Although they are relatively young, they are determined. Moreover, most of the middle and senior officers are children of nobles. They can be said to be the last elite of Austria.
These people turned Belgrade into a meat grinder for the North Americans. Amidst the explosion of artillery shells and the whistling of bullets, countless North American soldiers bleed into rivers in front of the strong fortresses. Dead bodies were piled up layer by layer on the road of attack. Only the first
In one day, more than 30,000 North Americans fell in front of the Austrian defense lines outside Belgrade.
This casualty figure even made Lieutenant General Bliss feel like his heart was bleeding. So far, North America has paid nearly half a million casualties for this war. For this country with a population of only more than 20 million, this is
The numbers mean that every family has relatives near and far who were killed or wounded in this war.
Of course, he understands the significance of this battle better than anyone else. Even if there is a river of blood, he must continue to attack. Keep attacking.
"We can't stop for a moment, no matter day or night, the number of enemies is small. Separate our people and attack them in turns. Even if they are tired, they will be exhausted to death!" the general said very firmly.
But his trick did work. More than 200,000 North American troops were divided into three groups and attacked day and night. The first group couldn't attack and the second group came up. Even if it was dark and they used flares, they would not stop.
On the third day of the attack, a British group army also joined the battlefield. The British commander very much agreed with Lieutenant General Bliss's tactics. In addition, the American and British coalition forces they attacked were divided into five groups. Not only did the intensity of the attack increase, but the interval between attacks also became shorter.
The march was getting shorter and shorter. Due to the numerical disadvantage, the Austrians who could not get any rest could no longer hold on.
In fact, it is admirable that they can hold on in the face of such an attack. Their enemies can take turns to rest, but they can't. Although wheel warfare is not glorious, it is also the most effective. No matter how good the soldiers are, they can't fight for several days in a row.
It is impossible to fight effectively when you can't even close your eyes, even eat or pee on the spot. In the end, some soldiers even died suddenly due to fatigue during the battle. As for the situation of falling asleep while shooting, there are many cases.
yes.
In this way, nearly 400,000 American and British troops suffered 180,000 casualties, and finally took six days to capture Belgrade. Archduke Ferdinand led the remaining Austrian troops of less than 10,000 to sadly cross the Danube River, and just before this city, which determined the fate of the Allied Powers, fell
The day after, the Chinese European Army finally boarded the train to move forward. However, at this time, the North American Fourth Army and the British Fifteenth Army, which had already moved south while the Battle of Belgrade was still in progress, were approaching.
The mountainous areas of southern Serbia have been fortified.
The door for the Chinese European Army to enter the Austro-Hungarian Empire was blocked.
On the same day, the forwards of the American and British coalition forces arrived in Potsdam and exchanged fire with the German troops led by Crown Prince Wilhelm himself.
"Peace talks? Are you kidding? This has just begun. You don't think that your few armies can stop me in the Balkans, do you? Five hundred thousand people is not enough. I will send another five hundred thousand people there. If it is not enough, I will send another five hundred thousand.
One million, our troops are not big enough so I can just expand the army. China has a population of more than 500 million. It is very easy to mobilize one or two million. As for Germany, what’s the big deal? What will happen even if you capture Berlin? His Majesty the Kaiser
You can definitely find a wartime companion to continue to resist. As long as our army fights through, victory will still be his." In the palace in Beijing, Emperor Yang proudly said to the secret envoy of the British government and the British Minister to Japan.
"Of course, I am still a peace-loving person, so a ceasefire is not impossible." He then added.
"What are your Majesty's conditions?" the British Minister to Japan asked hurriedly. In fact, he also knew that it was too early to sue for peace. It would be more appropriate if Berlin could be captured. However, the British politicians really couldn't wait. They were eager
You need to know Yang Feng's bottom line. In the past, he was definitely not qualified to bargain, but now he is. Besides, even if it doesn't work, it's still a good idea.
"It's very simple," Yang Feng walked to the map and said: "Starting from the Suez Canal, all British colonies and Commonwealth member states along the entire Indian Ocean and Pacific coast to the east will be handed over to China. We have already captured India, Malaya,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa in Africa, which we have not yet captured, all belong to China. As for the British and French colonies in other parts of Africa, they are allocated by Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire."
"This is impossible, Your Majesty, we come here with sincerity." the British Minister to Japan exclaimed.
"I am also very sincere. Since this is a reshuffle of the world, there must be a reshuffle. You were originally just England, and the rest was just stolen by you. What's the big deal if you hand it over now? Besides,
Isn't Ireland still left to you? And this is only what you, the UK, need to hand over. Your ally Russia must cede all territory east of the Volga River and the Caspian Sea to China, as well as colonies in the Pacific, Alaska and the Americas.
colony."
"Your Majesty, your conditions are not only unacceptable, they are simply intolerable. The British Empire will never accept such armistice conditions." The British Minister to Japan said firmly.
This condition did not need to be submitted to Congress for discussion. He could directly confirm that it was absolutely impossible to accept. What would Britain have left? All the colonies were gone. Britain would only have the island of Great Britain and Ireland left, and the Irish
There were still troubles at that time, which meant that Britain would forever withdraw from the stage of competition for hegemony and become a small country with neither resources nor markets. It would starve to death in a few years. Agreeing to this condition would be tantamount to suicide.
There is nothing to say about India and Southeast Asia. These have already fallen into the hands of China. No one will give away what they have got. But Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa are completely wishful thinking. These places are not India and Southeast Asia at all.
It can be compared. In those places, the British were colonizers, but not the real masters. But these places are different. British immigrants are the majority in these places. Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have a combined population of more than 1,000.
Wan, even if the British mainland does not send troops to support, it is not something that the Chinese can take if they want. Now it is a joke to think that they can get there just by talking.
"Your Excellency, Minister, you are not your country's parliament. You have no right to make a decision whether to accept it or not. I hope you will convey this condition to your Prime Minister as soon as possible. The Chinese government and people, I and I are very sincere. We
We hope to end the war, but we have to end it in our way." Emperor Yang said proudly. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
