Even sitting inside the tank, you can still feel the constant trembling of the earth. The sound of gunfire in the distance rolls past like muffled thunder.

The bombardment lasted for a full hour and thirty minutes, and it was not until the sun came up that the Ming army tanks launched their attack.

At this time, the Polish army's position was already scorched black, and there was billowing smoke everywhere.

The smoke even blocked the rising sunlight, making the entire battlefield look terrifying.

Accompanied by the "squeaking" sound of the tracks, the tanks rolled over the infantry trenches. The Polish troops inside made no sound at all.

One and a half hours of saturation bombardment, mostly large-caliber rocket launchers and heavy howitzers. Tactical artillery was rarely used. In order to enhance the effect of the bombardment, the Ming army even used military-owned 203mm howitzers.

This kind of artillery can smash a pit up to seven meters deep with one shot.

Many Polish army fortifications did not have reinforced concrete roofs at all. They just dug a hole in the ground and used railroad ties to support it.

If this kind of fortification is hit by a 203 howitzer, one shell can enchant the entire fortification.

The tank was driving on the pitch-black ground, and the only thing it had to avoid was the crater left by the 203mm howitzer.

Because once the tank falls in, it is likely that it will not come out.

The Kunpeng and Stuka in the sky flew past like wild geese flying south.

They searched for all artillery fire on the ground like falcons, and even when there was no target to attack, they would attack some small-caliber mortars.

Of course, this kind of artillery doesn't need to drop bombs. Just swoop down and shoot with machine guns!

Anyway, those artillerymen couldn't carry the gun barrel and avoid being chased by the planes.

From five o'clock to eight o'clock, the Ming army tanks advanced fifty kilometers in three hours. If they had gone a little further, they would have reached Kiev.

The Ming army's losses were only casualties caused by some landmines.

Most of the Polish army was defeated by a large-scale artillery bombardment before they had time to resist.

They jumped out of the trenches and fled. Unfortunately, human legs can't run on tank tracks. Even if you can run longer, you will get tired.

Tanks are not a big problem as long as they have gasoline.

The tank commander did not close the hatch at all. They stood on top of the tank, armed with 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and fired whenever they saw the Poles, just like target practice.

Those Poles who were being hunted often fell to the ground motionless after a cloud of blood erupted from their backs.

It had just rained a few days ago, and even though it had been exposed to the sun for two days, the ground was still a little moist.

When a tank rolls over this kind of ground, it won't create much smoke and dust, and the tank ruts don't seem to be as deep as before.

This made the Ming Dynasty tank soldiers feel very comfortable. They even took off their prepared goggles and prepared to enjoy this rare battle scene.

As the Ming Army tanks poured into the gap in the Polish army, a large number of Ming Army infantry and Russian infantrymen emerged.

They followed the tanks and struggled to penetrate behind the Polish army.

Every place that looks like a headquarters will be violently attacked. Any place that looks like an artillery position will be bombarded mercilessly.

The Polish army collapsed without any decent resistance.

Now the Ming army's attack is more like a march.

After the Russian army attacked for a period of time, they began to build fortifications at the rear of the Ming army to prepare for attacks from the direction of Kiev.

And the Ming army started a great race in Eastern Europe!

Because the attack width was only thirty kilometers, the Ming army defeated only the defense line of two divisions of the Polish army.

The Ming army turned around after eight o'clock and began to attack north, which turned into a real roundabout.

What we encountered along the way were either the Polish army's baggage troops or the Polish army's artillery and logistics.

A large number of Polish army infantry were in trenches dozens of kilometers away, waiting for orders from the headquarters.

As long as they leave the trenches and intend to rescue the Polish army headquarters, they will be given priority by the Ming Army Air Force bombers.

Without bunker protection, troops exposed on the ground are targets for the air force.
