The war was never fought alone. When the Ming army counterattacked on the southern front, the Prussian army on the northern front also began offensive operations.

The Prussian army's offensive was very distinctive. They advanced across a front of more than 400 kilometers.

Moreover, their advance was very steady, only advancing two or three kilometers per day.

Behind the offensive troops is a dense and deep echelon defense formation.

Each unit took turns to attack, basically digging out a position every day and never leaving.

Dig trenches and build bunkers.

Ready to stay permanently!

The Russian troops defending the northern front were helpless against this attack.

The Ming army's tank troops, which were ready to counterattack at any time on the second line, also had no choice.

Because the Prussian attack range was very short, they began to dig holes after settling in.

The anti-tank trenches were dug meticulously. After the Ming Army tank troop officers observed them the next day, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​attacking.

With just these tanks in hand, attacking such a position will wipe out all the assets in just two battles.

Then, a strange scene occurred.

The Russian army retreated two to three kilometers every day, and the Prussian army also advanced two to three kilometers every day.

The vast land of northern Russia is dug like a spider web.

So much so that both sides later formed a tacit understanding, and only the Russian army packed up and retreated at dawn.

The Prussian officers, seeing the Russian troops retreating, began to fire a few symbolic cannons.

The troops moved into the Russian position!

The Russian troops seemed very cooperative; they didn't even poop in the foxholes.

Li Xiao drew a straight line from the existing position in Smolensk to Moscow.

Three hundred and twelve kilometers. According to the current attack speed, millions of Prussian troops will arrive at the gates of Moscow in three months.

Moreover, this advancement is still unsolvable.

The Russian and Ming armies on the northern front were completely at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and there were not many armored units available.

Even if the air force is exhausted, it is impossible to repel an attack of this scale.

It can only cause harassment to a certain extent!

And...! According to the reconnaissance of the Air Force, the Prussian army is very dense in depth.

Almost every battalion is followed by a division. As long as a few hundred people in the leading battalion are attacked, the Prussian army can almost immediately organize a counterattack of tens of thousands of people.

The Ming army might be able to capture such a position and hold it, but the Russian army would never be able to do so.

Retreating is a helpless way to preserve strength.

On the central front, Kursk can barely hold on.

However, as time went by, the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Ming and Russian armies.

This tactic of competition and consumption really hit the Ming army where it hurts.

If we continue to fight like this, the strength of the Russian and Ming armies on the central front will gradually deplete.

The only one with an advantage now is the southern front, because the Ming army has invested all its strategic mobility there.

The First Corps of the Expeditionary Force, and the First Cavalry Division.

Although the two armies only have a combined number of more than 300,000 people, they are both the most elite armored forces of the Ming Dynasty.

The saber was indeed unstoppable when it was unsheathed. In just one day, it penetrated 60 kilometers deep into the enemy's position.

And firmly occupied the Don River Bridge, making the enemy's troops on the east bank of the Don River a turtle in a jar.

Now, all eyes are on the southern front.

If the battle on the southern front goes smoothly, the Ming army will not only eliminate the threat on the southern front.

More importantly, the Ming army's strategic reserves were once again liberated.

Whose head will the butcher knife hit next...?

hey-hey!

Who knows who to kill.

Nowadays, the armored troops of the Ming Army are like an extremely sharp sword. Wherever it is swung, there will be a sea of ​​blood.

"Dad!" Li Lin suddenly ran in with a panic expression.

"What's going on? You're so flustered." Li Xiao was not holding a cigar in his hand and looking at the map as usual.

Instead, he held a plate of venison and read a map while eating.

This is the result of Li Xiao's hunting that day, a very big reindeer.

It's just a pity that the meat in spring is a bit raw and not as delicious as the meat in autumn.

Venison is very fibrous, a bit like beef.

The cook is also a wonderful person. He cooked it according to the recipe of soy sauce beef. Not to mention, it tasted really good!

"It's raining in Belgorod!" Li Lin said nervously.

"What?" Li Xiao shouted like a stick.

Spring is the season when the Russian soil becomes pulpy and soft.

Now it's raining again, for God's sake!

Have the banks of the Don River turned into big mud ponds?

What's even worse is... I don't know if there will be spring floods in the Don River.

Once a flood breaks out, all the elites of the Ming Dynasty will be submerged in the water.

A tank is not a boat!

Li Xiao slowly put down the plate in his hand, still chewing the sauced venison in his mouth.

The venison in his mouth turned into chewing gum, and Li Xiao slowly swallowed it.

"Order!

The First Army of the Expeditionary Force immediately shrank its defenses and retreated to the east bank of the Don River.

Zu Kuan's troops immediately went north and were placed under the command of the 1st Cavalry Division.

Continue in Belgorod and guard the French troops retreating from the northern front."

"dad!

The number of French troops returning will be 300,000!

Even if Zu Kuan's First Tank Division is included in the 1st Cavalry Division, the number is only over 80,000.

That’s a difference of four times the number of people!”

"No matter what, we have to fight like this.

Even if they couldn't annihilate them all, they still had to beat Napoleon until he cried out in pain.

Otherwise, the Southern Line will not stop.

After taking down the French First Army, the 1st Cavalry Division immediately went north and attacked the Kursk side and rear.

The main Israeli force must be surrounded and annihilated in Kursk to resolve the central front issue."

Li Xiao gritted his teeth.

The 450,000-strong Austro-Hungarian Army was killed last time, and the central front was really stable for two months.

Who would have thought that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was honest.

The Israelis actually charged forward, and the pressure on the central front was greater than when it faced the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Now, the entire Kursk has almost fallen.

What the Ming army is holding on to is Kurski, the capital of Kursk.

A central breakthrough must be achieved so that the center can threaten the French and Prussian armies on the flanks.

To prevent them from continuing to advance, at least to slow down their attack speed.

"But the road...!"

"The road is not good for us, and it is even more bad for the coalition forces.

At least we still have tractors, airships and airplanes.

What do they have, a Sharma? Or a soldier's two legs?"

Li Xiao firmly issued the order!
