Facing such a battlefield, no one retreated or fled.

It is enough to show that the morale of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was high.

The original intention of the General Staff was to hold on to Smolensk until mid-November.

When the coalition forces continue their offensive, it will be early December anyway.

By that time, the ground must have been frozen. The Dnieper River would also be frozen. This was the perfect time to take advantage of the armored forces.

Man Ye took the northern route and Ao Ye took the southern route.

The two armored forces launched a pincer-shaped offensive and directly surrounded the northern coalition forces in the freezing suburbs of Moscow.

The strong winds in Russia in December are a nightmare for any supply force.

Whether it was Napoleon, the Prussian army, or the German Wehrmacht, they all suffered heavy losses in this severe cold.

But Li Xiao did not expect that the coalition forces would be so stubborn and rush towards Smolensk.

"How many people are there in the city?" Li Xiao asked as he looked at the troops heading towards Smolensk.

"At most eight thousand people, or less. The current defense is based on the bank building.

That position changes hands once or twice every day. Inside and outside, it is covered with corpses of ours and the enemy."

As Li Dingguo was talking, he suddenly saw a Stuka emerging from the dark clouds.

The Stuka with black wings looks like a violent falcon.

It dived towards the airship that kept dropping bombs. The hot bullets fired from the plane seemed to be two flames forming a long whip.

The hit airship first burst into flames, then burned into a large fireball and quickly fell to the ground.

One ship!

Two ships!

Three ships...!

The Ming Dynasty's fighter planes, like predatory eagles, shot down those coalition airships to the ground one by one.

"Well done! Credit to that pilot!"

This kind of weather is not suitable for aircraft to take off and land, but it does not have such a great impact on the huge airship.

That pilot took risks.

"Promise!" Li Dingguo quickly bowed and agreed.

"Inform Geng Jingzhong that the evacuation will begin at midnight today.

We must organize it properly so that no soldier is left behind."

"Commander!" Li Dingguo's eyes widened. He didn't expect that after holding on for so long and paying such a heavy price, Li Xiao would change the order of the General Staff in just one sentence.

“Go do it!

Even if the war is fought in the Russian capital, it actually doesn't matter.

The lives of Ming warriors were not wasted like this.

They are all young and are the backbone and hope of this country's future. The future of the Ming Empire depends on them."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and boarded the airship.
