As a result, these captured equipment became the standard weapons issued to them.

Every time you encounter a logistics supply point, there are also large military depots.

The mixed advance battalion will quickly capture it, and then the infantry on tracked armored personnel carriers will defend it until the follow-up troops arrive.

The Don River Bridge is thirty kilometers away from the front line.

The French army never dreamed that the Ming army would attack only three hours later.

Their vanguard has already crossed the Don River Bridge.

Moreover, they continued to advance deeper into the French army.

Many French troops encountered Ming armored troops without receiving any orders or notification of the enemy's situation.

The firepower of the Panzer 1 tank is somewhat weak, with only one twin 25-inch rapid-fire cannon.

However, against the French troops who were unprepared and lacked anti-tank weapons, they were simply like demons.

The double 25 rapid-fire cannon has both a super high rate of fire and precise burst fire.

Although it is not enough to deal with solid fortifications, it is enough to deal with the French who only have tents and sandbag fortifications and are unprepared.

Not only was the Type 1 tank outputting all its firepower, but the armored vehicles following behind, those 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, were also outputting non-stop.

Poor French soldiers stationed in the field, forty kilometers behind the front line, were completely unprepared to engage in battle with the enemy.

A battalion of troops was quickly defeated.

The soldiers fled in all directions and became targets for the Ming army.

It is impossible for a human to run faster than a tank, let alone a 25mm rapid-fire cannon and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

When people are fleeing, they often like to follow the crowd.

In other words, wherever most people run, the rest will follow like headless flies.

When people gather together, it can only lead to more serious casualties.

One battalion had only been chased for twenty minutes, and more than half of them had already suffered casualties.

Many soldiers who collapsed simply threw away their guns and knelt down in the field waiting for the Ming army to capture them.

In this situation, the Ming army usually ignored them.

The orders they received were to assault, advance, and continue to advance until the tanks could no longer move.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Last night, Napoleon organized a one-night war situation assessment meeting for his senior staff officers.

There were many arguments at the meeting, but the main ones were in support of His Majesty the Emperor's assertion.

The Ming army obviously wanted to attack Kursk on the central front. As long as the French army organized a heavy troop group to move north, they could break the Ming army's expectations.

Moreover, this can not only encircle and annihilate the Ming and Russian coalition forces on the central front.

Moreover, it can also tear a huge hole in the battle line to ensure the flank of the French army on the southern front.

The southern allied forces led by the French army had a terrifying strength of 2.1 million men.

There seems to be no big problem in dedicating 300,000 troops to the northern front.

So Napoleon wrote an order to let the First Army, which had left Kharkov and headed north, continue to advance north.

Until it reunited with the Israeli army and jointly attacked Kursk.

Be sure to annihilate all enemy forces in the Kursk area.

Then, in cooperation with the Israeli army, they attacked with all their strength in the direction of Ryazan.

Cut off Moscow's logistical supplies, assist the Prussian army, and threaten Moscow from the rear.

If everything goes well, the Battle of Moscow will be launched in the summer.

At that time, the Ming army and the Russian army will be in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

They will be divided into two sections, eaten by the Northern Front Allied Forces led by Prussia, and the Southern Front Allied Forces led by the French.

Perhaps, the vested interests in the battle will also be distributed according to the results.

After a night of meetings, Napoleon was extremely sleepy.

My head was stuck to the pillow and I snored immediately.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

"What's going on!" People who have been sleeping soundly are suddenly woken up, and they always feel very angry when they wake up.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our troops on the Don River front have been attacked.

The latest news is that the Ming Army tank troops have crossed the Don River Bridge and begun to attack the west bank of the Don River.

Our army... is in defeat."

Leclerc's voice came over the phone. His bravery in the Tsaritsyn campaign made him promoted to Chief of General Staff of Napoleon's headquarters.

He knew that Napoleon had just slept for less than two hours, and Leclerc was woken up from bed by the guards half an hour ago.

After hurriedly communicating with the front line by telegram, Leclerc felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer and must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor.

The enemy's goal is what he has always believed to be Kharkov.

At the war situation assessment meeting last night, only Leclerc insisted on sticking to Kharkov's strategy.

But those soldiers who were more like politicians all gathered around His Majesty the Emperor and praised Napoleon's plan.

No one paid attention to Leclerc's warning, but it was only a night, no, just a few hours.

Leclerc's warning became a fact, and the Ming Army's armored forces, which had been hidden for a long time, appeared!

From now on, their attack target can only be... Kharkov!

"What time is it now?" Napoleon asked Leclerc with a frown.

"Fifteen past eight, Your Majesty!"

"In just one night, they advanced thirty kilometers.

And it’s still on the front line defended by our ten divisions!

Are the hundreds of thousands of people on our front lines all pigs?" Napoleon was so angry that he almost jumped up.

There were ten organic divisions defending it, hundreds of thousands of people.

How could the Ming army advance more than thirty kilometers in one night?

After the damn Don Bridge was captured, were the people guarding the bridge fools? Didn't they know to plant explosives on the bridge?

The voice coming from the phone made Napoleon even more devastated.

"Uh... Your Majesty the Emperor, they started their attack around five o'clock in the morning.

It should be just over three hours from now." It was a bit difficult for Leclerc to say these words, it was so fucking embarrassing.

"Three hours?

They advanced 30 kilometers in three hours. This was fucking marching speed, not attack speed.

Send people to the front line now.

Shoot Aibok, shoot him immediately."

Napoleon held the phone and roared hysterically.

An army of more than 100,000 people was able to break through more than 30 kilometers in three hours and captured important bridges.

Moreover, follow-up troops continued to penetrate deeper through these bridges.

These are fucking troops, and Ni Ni’s troops are better than them.

If Aibok, the commander of the Third Army in charge of the Don Defense Line, stood in front of him, he would immediately shoot this bastard of bastards.

"Your Majesty, I think the First Army heading north should be transferred back to Kharkov now." Leclerc carefully reminded His Majesty the Emperor not to insist on the plan to go north.

The First Army should be transferred back and reinforced to Kharkov.

Otherwise, after the fall of Kharkov.

The entire fifteen divisions of the Third Army on the Don River defense line will fall into the encirclement pocket of the Ming army.
Chapter completed!
