"It's so damn good! It's so damn good, advancing a hundred kilometers in one day. Damn it!" Mr. Ao also didn't expect that the tank's tactics were so powerful.

Make a little tear in the long front, and the tanks will drive in like wedges.

Don't worry about the enemies on both sides of the gap at all, just rush in.

The tanks rushed in and headed straight for transportation hubs, large supply bases, and enemy command structures.

This style of play would be a disaster for Poland, which was holding on to its linear position.

In just two days, the Ming army's tank troops rushed to Smolensk.

And with the help of infantry, Smolensk was quickly captured.

Now tank troops are raging behind the Polish army!

The Polish army standing in the trenches was quite embarrassed, and they didn't know what to do.

Should we attack the Russian army facing us, or turn around and attack the Ming army?

The command system has been paralyzed, and communications, which basically rely on horseback communication, have been cut off.

The Polish army was leaderless and they didn't know what to do.

"Haha! I heard that our tank troops encountered the cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition outside Smolensk."

Song Dazhong took the telegram sent back from the front and said.

"Cavalry? These days, we still play cavalry.

There is only one regiment of cavalry left under Mr. Man. It is still responsible for patrolling the Mongolian border, otherwise, not even this regiment will be left.

They actually still have cavalry, even if they don’t have tanks, the machine guns are enough to give them a drink.”

Ao Canghai couldn't understand that even in this era, the cavalry was still retained.

"Master Ao!

You don't know that on the night when the Poles invaded, these Polish cavalrymen quickly crossed the border in the dark.

The troops who came out from Smolensk to reinforce the border were killed by these cavalry as if they were chopping up melons and vegetables.

I have to say that cavalry is still useful at certain times."

“Holy shit!

Those with guns can be hacked to death by those with knives. These Russian soldiers are really outnumbered.

Hehe! If they encounter our tanks, they will be in trouble." Ao Canghai was very confident in the tank troops under his command.

Don't tell me you're on horseback carrying a spear, even if you're on horseback carrying Gatling, I'll kill you all.

"The Polish Hussars and the Lithuanian Hussars were really fierce, and they actually attacked our tank troops on horseback.

Most of them were killed by tank fire, and a small number of others took advantage of the tank's lack of ammunition to rush to the tank.

Use a spear to stab the tank, and use a saber to hack the tank.

In the end, the whole army was destroyed and no one escaped."

"Hahaha! These idiots are really smart.

Order the forwards to quickly cross the Dnieper River and go straight to Minsk!

After defeating Minsk, the Polish infantry outside Smolensk were completely cut off from supplies and retreat.

How many people are there in the encirclement?" Ao Canghai looked at the map and quickly issued an order.

Behind Smolensk, the most important railway line node is Minsk. As long as Minsk is captured and the Polish infantry in Smolensk is captured, it is considered to be surrounded.

For the rest, there is no need to attack at all. Just trap them and let them surrender or starve to death.

"The Russian intelligence said there were about 450,000 people, but in these two days of fighting, we annihilated almost 50,000 people.

All told, there are approximately 400,000 Polish troops in the encirclement."

"Four hundred thousand people! Grandma is so generous.

The first army of our expeditionary force only has 80,000 people. 80,000 versus 400,000, haha!

I, Lao Ao, have been fighting all my life. When I was young, I followed Marshal Li. The one I followed later was Marshal Li.

I've never fought such a battle, never even thought about it.

Eighty thousand people surrounded 400,000 people and beat them until they couldn't fight back.

Tsk tsk! This battle was fought."

"Yesterday afternoon, the Air Force also achieved results.

The air group shot down twelve Polish airships on the outskirts of Smolensk.

This morning, the Second Air Regiment shot down twenty Polish airships over Orsha.

The results of the battle are brilliant!" Song Dazhong was delighted as he took the battle report.

Without railways, the Poles can still rely on large airships for supplies. Just like the Ming army!

But the airships of the Ming Army could fly to a height of more than eight thousand meters to avoid anti-aircraft gun fire.

But the Polish airships cannot do that. Their airships will encounter the fierce Ming Dynasty air force.

The Stuka is not only an excellent light bomber, but also an excellent fighter.

Without carrying bombs, it can carry up to 5,000 rounds of ammunition and fuel for a voyage of 700 kilometers.

A slow-moving airship has no possibility of escaping when encountering a Stuka. Other than surrendering, the possibility of survival is zero.

Radio technology was still very immature, and Ming Dynasty's own aircraft were not equipped with it. It was even less possible to equip the Polish airships with it.

In fact, Poland cannot produce airships. All their airships are produced in France!

Moreover, it is an old-fashioned coal-fired airship, and its speed is as slow as that of an old man who has suffered a stroke.

Without communication, the Ming pilots had no way to make an emergency landing. The result was that they could only shoot down a way to escape!

"It's good now, even the air supply route has been cut off. Let's see what else the Poles can do.

Capture Minsk and immediately attack the local civilians. Be sure to build an airport!

His grandma, every aircraft in the Air Force, every pilot is a baby, but they must not make any mistakes."

"promise!"

Under Ao Canghai's order, the Ming Dynasty tank troops went straight to Minsk.

After marching 300 kilometers in three days, on the morning of the fourth day, a tank regiment, an armored infantry regiment, and two infantry regiments had arrived outside Minsk.

The operation to clear the outskirts of Minsk was very easy!

More than 300 kilometers away from the front line, this is the standard rear area for the Poles.

The troops staying here never dreamed that the Ming army would attack.

And when it comes, there is a monster iron car that smokes and makes loud noises.

The self-propelled artillery only fired a round of exploratory shooting. The Polish army abandoned its position and ran away!

The large airship landed again, and this time it was groups of Russian Guardsmen that disembarked.

After experiencing the test of blood and fire in Chechnya, Russia's most elite Guards Corps once again entered the battlefield.

Compared to the last time, the anger in their hearts was even greater.

In Smolensk everyone witnessed the atrocities committed by the Polish and Lithuanians.

Children who were thrown to death, women who were raped, men who were killed, and Russians who were burned to charcoal in rooms one after another!

The tragic scene made every Russian Guards soldier feel a fire in his heart.

They want revenge, people want revenge on these damn Poles and Lithuanians.

A large transport airship can carry an infantry battalion at a time.

Thirty-five airships airborne two divisions of Russian infantry at once.

These troops seemed to appear out of thin air outside Minsk. In the words of the Poles, they just fell from the sky.

The outskirts of Minsk were filled with transport airships from the Ming Dynasty. After groups of Russian soldiers came down, they quickly headed to the front line under the leadership of their commanders!

The Ming army deployed very quickly, and the tank troops pursued the retreating infantry with almost no stagnation.

The twenty-five-millimeter machine gun on the No. 1 tank fired one after another, leaving the fleeing Polish army with corpses scattered across the field.

Many Poles knelt down on the roadside, holding their guns high.

The Ming army had no time to care about them and stopped two infantry fighting vehicles. The Ming army soldiers got out of them and first confiscated their weapons.

Then they gathered them and drove them like sheep, following the Ming army's offensive path to gather the remaining enemies.

When the Russian army caught up with them, their two infantry fighting vehicles and twelve Ming soldiers actually managed to collect more than 3,000 Polish troops.

These people all sat on the ground, watching the handover between the Russian and Ming armies in a daze.

They still don't know what kind of fate awaits them.
