"It makes no sense!" Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Technical confidentiality is very important, but as long as the remains are obtained by the enemy, they will also get a lot of information.

At least, from the structure, we can know where the armor of the tank is thinnest.

Moreover, even if the engine is removed, it will be a matter of time before the Europeans develop the engine.

After all, this thing only requires manpower and material resources, and all it takes is just a matter of time.

Anti-tank guns have very low technological content.

At a distance of about two hundred meters, the armor-piercing ability against tanks is also very strong.

Just..., a bit of a useless shooter.

But Napoleon probably didn't care about this problem. He had more than two million people under his command.

Even if you give 10% to compete with Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will still have to pay as much as your pants.

Now, what the Ming army has to do is to win this war before the Europeans finish catching up technologically.

But winning the war is not easy, Napoleon was prepared to fight tooth and nail.

Judging from yesterday's situation, Napoleon was preparing to fight Man Ye's 1st Cavalry Division with nearly 8.9 million troops from four armies this time.

This is the rhythm of using people to pile Master Man to death!

If Master Man doesn't retreat now, perhaps tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the battle of annihilation will have to be changed to a battle of breakthrough.

Li Xiao walked back to the huge sand table and looked at the sand table made based on the Russian Great Plains.

There are no mountains in the Russian Great Plains, but there are many rivers.

Belgorod has the Cheim River to the north.

It is bounded by the Sever Donetsk River in the south, the Oskol River in the east, and the Pushol River in the west.

To describe it as a river network is not an exaggeration at all.

At first, the Ming army sneaked across the Oscol River at night, but now the French Fourth Army was already thinking about moving across the Oscol River.

It's hard to say whether we will be entangled by the French Fourth Army if we go back now.

During the Battle of the Don River, the Ming army severely damaged the French Third Army.

The Fourth Army, however, suffered no losses because it held its position.

The French First Army is blocking the north of Man Ye's 1st Cavalry Division. Although it can break through forcefully, the casualties will inevitably be heavy.

The French Fifth Army advanced eastward from Sumui and formed a pincer attack on Manye.

Li Xiao quickly judged the battlefield situation, and it was true that his plan could not keep up with the changes.

He also didn't expect that Napoleon would be so crazy as to mobilize 900,000 people to besiege Man Ye.

The only thing we can rely on now is the communication and maneuverability of the Ming army.

The Ming army had radio vehicles and already mechanized its troops.

Moreover, the Ming army also had a key advantage.

That is, the Ming army had air superiority.

Because of aerial reconnaissance, the battlefield was one-way transparent to the Ming army.

And because of the air power strikes, it can also delay the march of the French army.

Voronezh is the field airport of the Ming Army, one of the eight airports that the Ming Army urgently built last autumn.

As a frontline airport, it has a smooth gravel asphalt runway.

At a distance of 200 kilometers, if the aircraft attacks at full speed, it can complete an attack every two hours.

This includes time for loading, refueling, and simple mechanical inspections.

Based on ten hours of sunshine, it can attack five times.

"How will the weather be in the next few days?" Li Xiao suddenly asked.

Weather prediction is still a relatively unpopular subject, and almost no one studies it.

What everyone knows is the experience passed down by word of mouth, such as the old proverb: Don't go out in the morning glow, but you can travel a thousand miles in the sunset.

When doing meteorological research, historical data is very important.

In this regard, Ukraine's historical data is almost zero.

The Ming army specially organized a group to visit local elderly people in various places and asked them to describe the climate in Ukraine based on their experience.

Now there are some research results, which can roughly infer the weather conditions in each season.

“It’s rainy in Ukraine in the spring, and from now to May, the probability of rain is very high.

But I think Ukraine has just had four days of heavy rain and there should be a few sunny days."

"How many days?"

"...!" Li Lin was speechless at this moment. How could he know how many days it would be sunny?

Just like Moscow, it just had rain and sleet a few days ago.

It has been sunny for two days, and now it has become gloomy again. It seems that a heavy rain will come at any time.

Or maybe the nasty sleet will continue to fall!

"The fight cannot continue. If it is delayed for another two days, it will rain again in Ukraine.

The water in these rivers will surge!

It will be even more difficult for Man Ye and the others to cross the river!

I thought it was too simple, thinking that a skirmish between tanks and infantry would go completely smoothly.

Now it seems that the French army's combat effectiveness is increasing.

The old saying is absolutely true, where there is a spear, there must be a shield.

Tanks have been tinkering with for such a long time, so it’s time for something to defeat tanks appear.

Anti-tank gun!

Haha, I know that thing without looking at the sample.

Behind a thick iron pipe is a spring-loaded firing pin!

The bullets are fired and refilled, or they are bolt-action.

The technical content is lower than others.

This cheap and durable thing that can be equipped with a large number of troops is the real nemesis of tanks.

I think it won't be long.

There will be specialized anti-tank guns, the kind that can be towed by three or five people and are lighter than infantry guns.

This battle is not easy to fight!"

"Then..., let's recruit more troops in the country.

Now we are suffering because of the serious shortage of troops."

"hehe!

It would be feasible to recruit more troops, but the front line needs so many guns and ammunition, so much money, food and supplies. Where will these things come from?

Those coalition soldiers who eat bran must survive with us. How long can they survive this kind of war?

And how long are the Europeans’ logistical supply lines, and how long are our supply lines?

Not to mention the railway line from Beijing to Kashgar, it is more than 2,800 kilometers long.

From Kashgar to Moscow?

If you have an army of three to five million people here, how can you ensure supplies?

If nothing else, the grain eaten by millions of people every day would be piled higher than a mountain.

There are also ammunition, fuel...

All these things rely on a Central Asian railway?"

"...!" Li Lin lowered his head. He really didn't think so much.

It can be said that the Ming army crossed half the world to fight the war. Now with so many troops, it has reached the limit of the Central Asia Railway's carrying capacity.

Blindly expanding the frontline troops will only make the frontline supplies scarce.
Chapter completed!
