"Sicily is lost!" Napoleon's hand holding the telegram was trembling.

"Then...will the Ming Dynasty land in southern France? Sicily is more than 800 kilometers away from Marseille.

This is not too far away from the Ming fleet." Forion looked at Napoleon with some worry.

France is everyone's root. If this news spreads among the army, the morale of the French army may collapse.

Especially when the French army and the Ming army are fighting to the death!

The area outside Tsaritsyn has been reduced to a pot of porridge.

Leclerc's army, as a partial division, is fighting fiercely with the Ming army in the Svet Loyal Marshes.

Although both sides suffered heavy losses, the Ming army's reserves have been exhausted. It only takes one to two days to form a breakthrough.

As long as Leclerc breaks through, the rear of the entire Ming army will be broken through.

Even if the Ming army's reserve team arrived at this time, it would not be able to prevent the collapse of their front.

The front line can at least advance to the urban area of ​​Tsaritsyn.

It is even possible to annihilate the main force of the Ming army in one fell swoop and win the war.

But at such a critical moment, Sicily surrendered without firing a shot.

According to the tactics of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the next step is Corsica. The next step is Marseille or Nice.

But it just so happens that the main force of the French army is now located in Tsaritsyn, thousands of kilometers away, not in mainland France.

Could it be said that the important task of protecting France should be handed over to the farmers who have just been recruited?

Napoleon gritted his teeth, I am not sure when the Ming Dynasty will land in southern France, or where.

But he was sure that Ming Dynasty would definitely land.

They have the advantage of the navy, and landing operations are their best method.

What to do now?

Withdrawal now?

This is absolutely impossible. Tens of thousands of lives were sacrificed, and 800,000 people suffered in this ice and snow just to defeat the Ming army.

This is a war that will affect France for hundreds of years in the future. Napoleon is responsible for the future of France.

"Transfer my Guards Corps to Leclerc's place and accept his command.

We must capture the Svetroyal Swamp before noon tomorrow and launch an attack to the rear of the main force of the Ming army."

Napoleon clenched his fists tightly. He must not give up the attack now, and it was impossible to give up the attack.

The two armies are mixed together. If he retreats now, he will suffer a worse defeat than he did in Moscow.

Perhaps, the land of Russia is not suitable for me.

Napoleon looked at the white snow outside. Could it be that he could not conquer this land in this life?

Li Yuan felt like he was going to die, and his head was so painful that it almost exploded.

This was caused by a mortar shell yesterday, and a shrapnel flew past the helmet.

If it hadn't been for the helmet, his head would have been ripped open.

"Hey! Hey...! There are line soldiers, check the line."

The call was interrupted again, and Li Yuan covered his head and shouted loudly.

A soldier quickly rushed into the cannon fire outside!

I fiddled with the phone cord and started checking the line.

Soon, the phone call came through again.

After a while, the rocket launcher directly covered a kilometer distance in front of the position.

The French army's punishment position was blown into a sea of ​​flames.

The French army, which was preparing to charge, turned into ashes.

I don’t know how many times this has happened, but it seems like there is no end to the Frenchmen being killed.

Today's rocket artillery is no longer what it used to be.

Yesterday afternoon, a rocket launcher battalion had just provided fire support for Li Yuan. Then, it was covered by the French army's retaliatory fire.

There is nothing you can do about it, as rocket launchers will produce a lot of smoke.

Even if you try to hide it, you can't. People's rocket launchers are staring at you. As long as smoke is generated, they will retaliate with firepower.

Maybe after carrying out this mission, the rocket launcher battalion that just supported him will no longer exist.

Sure enough, the French army had just been covered by fire. A large amount of smoke also rose far away from the French army's position.

Immediately afterwards, a group of things trailing flames and black smoke flew past in the sky.

Li Yuan sighed, it was finished.

I can no longer count on rocket launchers from now on!

When it comes to fire support, rocket launcher groups are the best.

As long as this thing is covered, there will be no living creatures in an area.

With just one volley, a company of Frenchmen could be killed. The enemy could wait for a while before launching the next attack.

Although howitzers are very powerful, they don't have the coverage effect of rocket launchers.

Sure enough, there was a violent vibration on the ground.

Li Yuan closed his eyes in pain. The only things he could count on from now on were those howitzers.

There was a roar of the engine, and Li Yuan stuck his head out.

A dozen Stukas flew over in formation in the sky!

Li Yuan grinned happily, the opponent's rocket launcher was finished this time.

As the weather gets colder, the airport is gradually able to take off and land aircraft more frequently.

But this is the first time that more than a dozen planes have been dispatched at once.

Since the enemy's anti-aircraft gun positions were destroyed, the Stukas became somewhat reckless in bombing.

Such a good thing cannot be ignored. Li Yuan found a gap in the trench and looked through the binoculars where the smoke was thickest.

It's a pity that the distance is so far that only smoke can be seen.

The Stuka began to dive and drop bombs. It was far away, but Li Yuan still seemed to hear the ghostly roar.

Li Yuan saw the Stuka dive down, and then a huge plume of smoke rose from the ground.

Not to mention the dive bombing, after dropping the bombs, the Stuka repeatedly fired with machine guns.

Li Yuan could imagine that the French troops on the ground must be scurrying away.

Planes are really a good thing, they can kill enemy troops in the sky. But I don’t know when the legendary tanks will arrive.

The First Cavalry Division was known as the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yuan was eager to see this army because he felt that he really couldn't support it anymore.

After the Russian army was defeated, the French army launched a non-stop attack on their positions for two days and two nights.

In front of the position, there were corpses all over the position.

Several times, the French troops actually rushed to the position and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

When he thought of that hand-to-hand battle, Li Yuan felt the wound on his shoulder throbbing with pain.

To be honest, the French army was taller and heavier than the Ming army, giving them an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

The gap in physical strength cannot be made up in a short while.

Fortunately, Ming Dynasty equipped every soldier with a revolver!

This thing is really a sharp weapon in hand-to-hand combat, especially the twenty-ring box cannon that Li Xiao gave to Li Yuan.

He is said to be invincible within twenty meters. If it hadn't been for the twenty-shot box cannon yesterday, he would have left it on the battlefield.

In Li Yuan's opinion, everyone should be equipped with a box cannon.

This thing can fire twenty rounds of ammunition.

Moreover, it is loaded with a magazine, and changing the magazine is much faster than changing bullets in a revolver.

"Batalion Commander, the enemy is attacking again."

As soon as I sat down and took a sip of water, the correspondent rushed in.

Li Yuan quickly picked up an Aka rifle and rushed out!

Inside the telescope, French soldiers wearing red clothes and white trousers appeared.

Li Yuan never understood why the French disliked the lack of clear goals and wore red clothes and white trousers.
