At dawn, the end of the Nordic Allied Forces has come.

Three hundred thousand people were running chaotically in the wilderness, with no fortifications or artillery cover, and many of them had even abandoned their guns.

In the sky, the Ming army's planes shot at the crowd below without any scruples. Wherever the bullets passed, patches of blood mist rose.

After the shooting, all that was left on the ground were mutilated bodies.

The tanks and infantry fighting vehicles of the Ming Army were the most lethal against the rebels.

Even if there is a small group of enemy troops that stubbornly resist, they will be shattered under the impact of the torrent of steel.

In this case, the infantry basically has no chance to dismount and fight.

They could only sit in the infantry fighting vehicle and take turns to man the 25mm rapid-fire cannon on the roof to shoot at the fleeing coalition soldiers.

Before noon, the coalition forces had collapsed across the board.

The roadside was full of coalition soldiers who had discarded their weapons, kneeling and raising their hands in surrender.

The top leaders of the coalition were unable to organize an orderly collective surrender.

Because they have lost the ability to control the army.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Ming army's tanks rushed into Norgrove. However, they just turned around briefly and came out. This was the order given by Master Man.

Just let the people in Norgrove know that the Nordic Allied Forces have been defeated. There is no need to send armored troops into the city.

Urban battlefields are not suitable for armored force movements. However, some resistance elements or scattered Nordic coalition forces can use terrain such as street corners to use explosive packets to deal with tanks.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the Russian army entered the city of Norgrove.

This was Li Xiao's decision to let the Russian army occupy Norgrove. After all, this was once Russian territory. The local people were not against the Russian army.

Sure enough, after the Russian troops arrived, they were welcomed by the local people.

Some defeated Nordic allied forces among the crowd were recognized by local people and handed over to the Russian army for disposal.

For a whole day, the Ming army and the Russian army were chasing and capturing the Nordic coalition soldiers.

When it was almost dark, the pursuing Ming army received a supply.

The tank that was seeing its fuel tank bottom out can now be resurrected with full health after having diesel fuel.

Not only the fuel has been replenished, but also the ammunition.

It has to be said that the large number of tractors in the Ming army played a key role.

Without tractors, it would have been impossible for the Ming army to complete such a supply task.

"The battle progressed more smoothly than we expected, which also shows that the Nordic coalition forces are far less powerful than we imagined.

Last night, a fight broke out between Swedish soldiers and Danish soldiers because they were fighting for the road.

When our soldiers arrived, they found that the corpses were densely covered on the ground.

Even among our prisoners, there were fights between Swedish soldiers and Danish soldiers. These people fought very fiercely, and more than a hundred people died in the prisoner fights reported today."

Shi Dewei took the folder and wanted to report to Li Xiao the results of the past twenty-four hours!

Li Xiao stood in front of the window and listened quietly.

Moscow in the distance outside the window was filled with joy. Everyone knew that the Russian army had regained Norgrove again.

That is northern Russia, an important port leading to the Baltic Sea.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers in the distance and looking at the fireworks that continued to dazzle into the sky, Li Xiao smiled and shook his head.

These Russians actually thought they won the battle.

However, the Russians did pay too much in this war.

At the beginning, both the Ming and Russian armies were in an unfavorable defensive stage. For a while, Li Xiao even considered withdrawing his troops and fighting a battle to defend Moscow.

At that time, the biggest enemy of the Russians was not the enemy troops on the front line, but the hunger and cold in the rear.

Too many young adults entered the army and fought in the war, so that food production in the rear could only be completed by some women, old people and children.

Insufficient food production caused Russians to starve to death in droves.

Even soldiers on the front line had to eat black bread containing 20% ​​sawdust.

If Ming Dynasty had not shipped large quantities of potatoes and corn to Russia later, more people would have died.

The Battle of Tsaritsyn was so cruel that a company of Russian troops could only fight for one night.

When we pulled out, there were only a few people left.

Such a company would go back to make repairs, and a week later it would be a brand new company.

Then they were sent up again. After a night, there were only a few people left.

It goes back and forth like this!

Someone has calculated that during the Battle of Tsaritsyn, the average survival time of each Russian soldier was only eight minutes.

At that time, Li Xiao was commanding from across the Volga River.

He could clearly see the brutality of the battle, so much so that when he recalled it now, he was still frightened.

In the end, both the Russians and the Ming people stood up.

After Napoleon released the poison gas, he escaped because the wind direction suddenly changed.

Since that time, the balance of war began to gradually tilt towards the Ming Dynasty.

Last year's series of battles, plus this year's battles, almost all were won by the Ming Dynasty.

Especially Man Ye’s First Cavalry Division and Ao Ye’s First Expeditionary Force.

These two armored forces not only completed their growth during the war, but also became larger during the war.

At the beginning, the Type 1 tanks equipped by the Ming Army were the main force of the armored forces.

Troops like the 1st Cavalry Division only have a small number of No. 2 and No. 3 tanks.

Only one battalion of Panzer IV was deployed!

But look now, the 1st Cavalry Division has all been replaced with Panzer IV tanks.

As for the First Army of the Expeditionary Force, 30% of the troops were equipped with Panzer IV tanks. Panzer II and III tanks, and even the production lines were converted to infantry fighting vehicles.

The replaced Panzer 1 and Panzer 2 III tanks are now all sent to the Middle East.

Form a new armored force!

Although these tanks have thin skin and large fillings, they are more powerful in maneuverability.

The most important thing is that the Kurds in the Middle East have now lost external assistance. With the weapons they currently have, there is no way to deal with tanks.

Their only way is to find a way to get close to the tank and detonate the explosive package.

But this method has no effect at all in the face of a tank formation with infantry coordination.

Not only has the equipment been changed, but the tank crews have also become war veterans.

When they first entered Russia to fight, many people actually only studied for more than two months. They had just finished learning the operating principles of tanks and were able to drive and drive tanks before they were sent to Russia.

Now, these crews can not only skillfully drive tanks in combat, but can even troubleshoot common tank failures.

This is very important on the battlefield because the repair battalions at the rear often cannot keep up with the operations at the front.

It is impossible for them to be on the front line and carry out wartime repair tasks.

And then there’s the tractor!

Due to road problems, trucks have not played their due role in Russia. On the contrary, tractors with stronger off-road capabilities and poorer road conditions are more suitable for Russia.

Especially during the rainy season in Russia, the road conditions are terrible. Even tractors dare not overload, and large trucks often get stuck in mud pits.

Many times, the car has just been pulled out of the pit. Before it has driven a kilometer, it gets stuck in it again.

If the truck is still loaded with ammunition, there will be no other solution. The only way to get the big truck out is by pulling the truck with people.

Sometimes, Panzer IV tanks had to be called in to pull out the big trucks.

The war has reached this point, and the number of tractors in the Ming army has reached a terrifying level.

Moreover, a large number of excellent tractor drivers were trained, who could control such powerful Ming army horses.

Li Xiao is not worried about the large number of tractors. Ming Dynasty has enough territory to consume these tractors.

Once these tractors are returned to China, they will immediately become popular.

In the past few years of the European War, almost all the machinery produced in the Ming Dynasty was sent to the front lines. On the contrary, there were not so many machines running on the land of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no way, there is only so much production capacity. If the Russian battlefield is protected, there is no way to protect the country.

What pleased Li Xiao the most was the Ming Dynasty Air Force.

The Ming Air Force has experienced three years of combat, and its pilots have been fully trained.

Many pilots have flown for a terrifying six hundred hours.

There are even dozens of pilots who have flown more than a thousand hours.
