Two hundred bombers carried out continuous bombings on the Baghdad arsenal for the next three days. The Russian army did not kill many, but it killed and injured more than 10,000 Baghdad civilians around it. Some of them were hostile to Kazakhstan.
The Ottomans, who were dissatisfied with Med II, took the opportunity to spread the news that it was Hamid II's order. As a result, the Ottomans were in an uproar. 23
The Russian army led by Denikin was taking advantage of the intervals between bombings to rush out supplies. Finally, one-fifth of the arms were transferred out of Baghdad and sent directly to Tabriz. Currently, the main force of the Russian army is moving along the
The northern part of the Anatolian Plateau is attacking Istanbul, and the forward has even approached Ankara. These precious arms will inevitably greatly enhance the Russian army's offensive capabilities.
As for Denikin himself, he was ready to be crucified in Baghdad. At this time, Brusilov had already begun his attack on Basra. However, after receiving reinforcements, he was guarding the arms that were originally intended to be destroyed. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese defenders
The extremely tenacious and ferocious firepower caused heavy losses to the Russian army, which was almost exhausted after drilling through the entire Persia. Judging from the battle situation, it is difficult to say whether Brusilov can capture the city, and once the reinforcements from China arrive,
, he will definitely retreat, which means that the heavy responsibility of cutting off the transportation lines to Europe can only fall on Denikin.
During this period, Denikin did nothing else and focused all his energy on improving the defense of Baghdad.
Because he was stuck in Baghdad, Chinese merchant ships transporting supplies to Europe had to switch to the Hejaz Railway. The sudden influx of countless supplies overwhelmed the small Port of Jeddah, and Hamid II originally built this port.
The main purpose of this railway is to control the Arabs of Hijaz and the Holy Land of Mecca. The purpose of building it to the port of Jeddah is just to make money from pilgrims. The transportation capacity is not the same as that of the Baghdad Railway. In this way, although
The supply to Europe will not be completely cut off, but it is impossible to be the same as before, and these limited supplies must be used to defend the Ottomans, supply the Chinese European Army, and be distributed layer by layer until they are finally delivered to the Germans. Then
It can only be described as a drop in the bucket.
"Time, time is life. Our allies are bleeding, but you are telling me about all kinds of difficulties. Can these difficulties be compared with the lives of the people of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire? If the train capacity is not enough, add cars. Cars are still
If it's not enough, add airship air transport. Gather all the airships in the country, whether military or civilian, and send them all to the Middle East, including my royal airship. Send them all to transport food and ammunition to Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
We can still continue to produce, but we must ensure their supply of food, and we must not allow our allies to starve to death." Emperor Yang, who had just returned to Beijing, reprimanded Li Yuncong and others in front of the German and Austrian ambassadors.
Li Yuncong and others hurriedly acted with him with a sincere and frightened expression. On the other hand, Haijing and others next to him were deeply moved. They couldn't stand it when there was a slight shortage of material supplies. Weapons and ammunition were easy to talk about. It was just a matter of saving some money, and Germany's
The main industrial areas are still in the hands of the German army. Similarly, the main arsenals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Skoda and Steyr, were not affected by the war. But food is not enough. Talking about national honor and dignity when you are hungry is nonsense. Especially Austria-Hungary.
The soldiers of the various ethnic groups in the Hungarian Empire were not very willing to sacrifice their lives for the Habsburg family. Now they are forced to starve. The morale on the front line is getting lower and lower. Although there are not many cases of surrendering to the enemy.
, after all, these soldiers also understand that China will definitely win in the Allies, but the desertion is getting more and more serious. If this continues, something big will happen.
"Your Majesty, our Emperor feels that the key to forcing the Allied Powers to accept our conditions does not lie in Europe." Hai Jing said with a smile on his side.
"Excuse me, Ambassador, I'm actually very angry with these damn guys right now. Why do they continue to fight so stubbornly even though they know they will fail? Do they have to drag the whole world into war? Why can't they do it?
What choice should be made to restore peace to the world?" Emperor Yang said angrily.
Your conditions are too harsh for them to accept, okay? Hai Jing secretly cursed in his heart, but of course he couldn't say that. This guy smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Allies still have the confidence to persist.
Material supplies from North America, as well as continuous reinforcements from North American troops, have so far reached nearly two million North American and Canadian troops on the European battlefield. Without them, Britain and France would not have been able to hold on. However, North America and Canada
The total population is only 30 million, and they have already suffered more than one million casualties before. In this way, they only have two to three million young adults in the country, and it is impossible for all of these people to enter the army. In North America and Canada,
The number of troops will not exceed one million.
If your country launches an offensive in North America at this time, five armies will be enough to wipe out the entire North America. Moreover, countries such as Spain, Mexico, and the Confederacy will act together with your country. In this way, five armies are not even needed, three armies are enough.
, as long as North America and Canada are solved first, the Allied Powers' last support will be gone. With their strength, they will definitely not have the courage to continue the war. At that time, we can completely achieve our goal."
Attacking North America has to be said to be the best way to draw money from the bottom of the cauldron, but Emperor Yang was a little hesitant. Isn't it too early? After all, Europe is currently in a state of chaos.
"Your Excellency Ambassador, your suggestion makes sense. I will immediately order the Joint Chiefs of Staff to come up with a suitable battle plan." He thought for a moment and then nodded.
"How many total troops do we have now?" the guy asked Li Yuncong immediately after sending Haijing away.
"The Army currently has a total of thirty armies, of which twenty are disclosed to the public. Six of them are on the Siberian battlefield. However, the Tenth Army has moved south again and is preparing to enter Persia. However, the railway can only go as far as Ashgabat, and then to
There are no real roads in the south, and our army cannot fight on horseback and drive livestock like the nomadic cavalry in ancient times. Therefore, we must build simple roads as we advance. It is estimated that it will take another month to reach Tehran.
Two armies are on the European and Ottoman battlefields, and two more armies are rushing for reinforcements. One army is in Australia and the other is in Colombo preparing to attack Africa. According to the plan, they will first land in Dar es Salaam.
Then use the port facilities built by the Germans here as a springboard, and then attack Durban southward. There are two other armies stationed in Southeast Asia and Lingbei. Of course, it doesn't matter whether these places are defended or not. And it belongs to Jinzhou.
There are currently two group armies in the military region, so the number disclosed to the outside world is that we still have four group armies in the country, and there are ten undisclosed group armies." Li Yuncong said.
"Then add another group army to North America to prepare for the attack on North America. In addition, add another group army to Omsk. We must break through the Russian defense line in Omsk as soon as possible." Yang Feng said with satisfaction that his army expansion has not yet been completed.
It's ongoing, and the target is 10 million, which is still early.
In Omsk, nearly two million Chinese and Russian armies are already fighting fiercely here. The total strength of the Chinese army has increased to five army groups, and the Russian army has also increased to four. The battlefield is no longer limited to Omsk.
In fact, it became a front with Omsk as the end point, relying on the railway, and extending to Petropavl for more than 200 kilometers. The Russians were unable to attack due to their inferior strength and equipment and could only take a defensive position, while the Chinese
On the one hand, the offensive is restricted by transportation. The offensive of the Central Asian Front relies on the water transport of the Irtysh River, and the Siberian Front, which has just joined the battlefield, relies on the railway. However, no matter which aspect, the intersection of Omsk cannot be bypassed.
"These idiots are hard to deal with. They will no longer surrender obediently after throwing a few coagulation bombs." Wang Shizhen said with a frown as he looked at the flames soaring into the sky on the Russian position in front of him with his binoculars.
After his Siberian Front opened up all the Russian military strongholds along the railway and arrived here, they immediately took over the main offensive task. The 9th and 11th Group Armies of the Central Asian Front were also included in the Siberian Front and were under his command to take full responsibility for Omsk.
As for the attack, the Eighth Army moved westward from Pavlodar to attack instead of defend to prevent the Russian army from threatening the transportation line on the Irtysh River from the flanks. By this time, they had already reached Akmolinsk, but they were also restricted by
Progress on transportation issues has been slow.
"If you want to completely open up the Russian army's main blocking point on the west bank of the Irtysh River, you must cut off the railway behind them. As long as the supply of the Russian army here is cut off, it will be meaningless no matter how you fight. But if you want to cut off their
Railway, they must open their trench defense system starting from Petropavl and extending to Omsk. I have to say that these Russians have not killed so many people in vain in the past few years. The trenches are being dug almost as fast as they can.
The canal is closed, even if we attack with tanks, we can't get through it." A staff officer next to him said with emotion.
At this time, the Russian army had already developed anti-tank trenches on European tanks, and it was not only anti-tank trenches, but also anti-tank mines, grenades, and even triangular cones and anti-tank horses. After all, with these steel
The monsters have been fighting for four years, and these basic things have gradually become self-taught, which has caused great trouble to the always invincible Chinese armored forces, especially anti-tank mines and grenades, which made the initial attack from the southern front difficult.
The Sixth Armored Division lost more than fifty tanks in one fell swoop, and now the Russian army is relying on these new anti-tank means to support itself. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
