Stewie held up his binoculars and looked at the smoke-filled positions in the distance.

Next to him stood the Russian commander Norgrove!

"Fifteen days, your people were driven out of Kharkov to the outskirts of Tsaritsyn in fifteen days.

How many kilometers from Kharkov to Tsaritsyn?”

Stewie spread his five fingers.

“Five hundred kilometers!

Fifteen days and five hundred kilometers, this is almost a marching speed.

Tell me, what did your troops resist?"

Stewie glanced coldly at the commander, who weighed 200 kilograms. His protruding belly looked more like a pregnant woman than a general.

"Uh...!" Norgrove wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not knowing what to say.

The resistance of my subordinates is not resistance at all.

It was a complete defeat!

But what is more bizarre is that after being defeated all the way, the Russian army only lost 500 people.

After running 500 kilometers, only 500 people were annihilated. According to Stewie, this was simply a miracle in the history of war!

They are boasted to be a fighting race, but they fight like this?

Fight against the five scum!

Stewie flew from Ming Dynasty to Moscow in an airship. After meeting with Ekaterina, he came to Tsaritsyn by train.

Fortunately, we rushed all the way. Otherwise, if we were delayed for two days, the Russians might have already passed Tsaritsyn.

I don’t even have a peripheral defensive position anymore!

"You are a Russian general, I have no control over you.

But someone can take care of you!" Stewie's eyes looked at Kutuzov beside him.

Kutuzov's face was ashen. As a fierce man who had defeated Napoleon, his status in the Russian army was unparalleled.

Now, the juniors he personally promoted actually have such a shameful record. Kutuzov can't wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!

"Capture him!" Kutuzov ordered softly, and two Russian officers immediately rushed over and captured Norgrove.

"Hang him on the big tree at the gate of the city." Kutuzov pointed to the only way into the city from outside the city.

Many embarrassed Russian soldiers staggered into Tsaritsyn from here.

"Marshal, spare your life! Spare your life!" Nogrove immediately became paralyzed with fear when he heard Kutuzov's words.

His legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground, crying and trying to hug Kutuzov's thigh, but he was held tightly by two staff officers.

The table was placed in an underground bunker in the wild. Neither Kutuzov nor Stewie paid attention to Norgrove, who was still crying after being pulled far away.

Tsaritsyn is one of the oldest cities in the Volga River Basin. It was built on the banks of the Volga River on the southern Russian prairie. It is located in the transition zone between Europe and Asia. It is a natural water and land transportation hub, which is also destined to it.

will play an important role.

When Dorgon was in Russia, it was built as an important town to defend the southern flank of Moscow and protect the Caucasus region.

This is not only an important crossing on the Volga River, but also a preliminary industrialized city.

Especially after Dorgon overhauled the railway and Tsaritsyn was connected to the railway, the scale of the city was developing at an exponential rate.

Although Russia has been at war for more than ten years, Tsaritsyn has a unique geographical location and numerous factories.

Not only is there no depression, but there is a scene of prosperity.

"These are the key points that we must keep. Here, on the other side of the Volga River.

There is an ammunition factory here, which was built with the help of Ming Dynasty three years ago.

Our railway may be cut off in this battle, and if the railway is cut off, then our ammunition will depend on this place."

Kutuzov pointed to a place on the map east of the Volga River.

To be precise, this is an enclave of Tsaritsyn. It is connected to Tsaritsyn on the west bank of the Volga River only by the Volga Bridge.

The Volga Bridge was also built with the help of Ming Dynasty. It took three years and was just completed this summer.

With this bridge, the east and west banks of the Volga River can be freely connected, which makes it very convenient for Stewie to mobilize his troops.

“Bridges and arsenals are lifeblood!

There are also train stations, these are places that need to be defended at all costs.

I suggest that starting from the upper reaches of the Tsaritsyn River, a backup railway should be laid immediately, once the railway station falls within enemy fire.

We need to move the train station to the east bank of the Volga River immediately."

Stewie knew that the railway was the lifeblood. Once the railway was broken, there would be no need to fight this war.

At this point, he has a much deeper understanding than Kutuzov.

"The paving started three months ago, but the weather is so bad that it will take at least two weeks before we can start.

In addition, corresponding platform facilities are also being constructed on the east coast. These will be completed in the summer.

You know, the cement provided by Daimyo cannot be used in winter."

Kutuzov pointed to several points on the map and introduced them to Stewie.

"Who suggested this?" Stewie greatly admired the Russians' advanced awareness.

In the summer, they were already preparing for the Battle of Tsaritsyn.

"I proposed it. At that time, I never thought that there would be a war here. I just thought that the railway line on the west bank of the Volga River was a bit unsafe."

"You are indeed the soul of the Russian army. Such advance arrangements are so important." Stewie nodded excitedly. As long as the logistics can be continuously supplied, he is very confident in winning this battle.

"In this section, lay a section of railway track.

This time, I brought three train guns.

All are 480 mm, which are improved types of naval guns.

Of course, it would be difficult to transport such a heavy thing.

It can be made into a train gun, and that's no problem.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, only three gates have been built.

I asked the commander several times before he gave me the honor to bring them all."

"Four hundred and eighty millimeter? Train gun?" Kutuzov's eyes widened.

He did not expect that Ming Dynasty could actually move such a large-caliber artillery to the shore and install it on a train.

Generally speaking, this kind of artillery will be placed on naval ships.

If it goes ashore, because this kind of gun is too heavy, it can only be used as a fixed fort.

There are five such guns guarding the Bosporus.

The powerful Israeli naval fleet was blocked in the Black Sea by these five forts in the Golden Horn, unable to move!

"That's great. With this thing, you can carry out long-range strikes against the enemy. With just one salvo, you can cause major damage to the enemy."

Kutuzov was extremely excited. He never dreamed that one day he would have such a killer weapon.

"Not only that, there are also rocket launchers. They pull a string of rocket launchers and move them on the rails.

This has a very good inhibitory effect on large-scale enemy attacks."

Stewie said this, feeling very proud.

Talk about weapons!

The Ming Empire is the top existence in the world, and it is not afraid of other countries at all.

Kutuzov was very excited. The alliance between Her Majesty the Queen and the Ming Dynasty was so prescient.

"Boom!" The ground trembled, and the elderly Kutuzov staggered, almost falling and hitting the table.

The two staff officers behind him quickly helped Kutuzov up.

"Boom!" There was another shaking, like an earthquake.

"It's not an earthquake!" Stewie's face turned pale, and he immediately grabbed the telescope and looked at the front line in the distance.

A huge mushroom-shaped smoke column rose from the ground and was steaming upward.

It was only then that Stewie heard the huge explosion.

To be able to cause such a huge reaction from a distance of more than 20 kilometers, this must be a 1,000 kilogram bomb.

Sure enough, among the steaming smoke, there were several huge French airships.

These airships have ferocious skulls painted on them, almost hovering above the Russian sniper positions.

Although it was too far away to see the skull on it clearly, the huge airship could still be seen.
