Chapter 36 Accidents Everywhere(1/2)
Napoleon had just mounted his horse when the roar of engines came from the sky.
A large group of densely packed Stukas flew out, forty or fifty in total.
The retreating French army also lost its anti-aircraft fire.
Without ground anti-aircraft fire, these Stukas were raging in the sky like locusts.
That kind of ghost-like shrill scream was simply a nightmare for the French army.
The few anti-aircraft guns turned into a pile of fragments amidst this sharp roar.
Those anti-aircraft artillery units naturally turned into piles of minced meat.
Dive bombing greatly improved the accuracy of bombing, and the Stuka could see clearly in the sky.
Bombs are specifically thrown at places with narrow roads or intersections.
Although pilots cannot communicate with each other verbally, they can use gestures to convey information.
The five Stukas formed a formation and formed a group to attack the retreating French army wildly.
After throwing the bombs, they swooped down and fired with machine guns.
The machine gun bullets were also fired, and it flapped its wings and flew back to the front-line airport on the east bank of the Volga River.
Anyway, the distance is only sixty or seventy kilometers, and you can fly back in less than ten minutes.
After reloading and refueling, I came back after more than 20 minutes.
Keep dropping bombs and shooting!
The road was blown up, and the French soldiers had no choice but to turn to the nearby fields to escape.
The rugged wilderness greatly depleted the physical strength of the French soldiers.
Along the way, countless French soldiers could no longer run. They sat on the ground to rest for a while, but after a while, those poisonous gases came after them again like maggots on the tarsus.
French soldiers can only stand up and keep running. People will get tired, but the wind will not.
The poisonous gas followed slowly behind, swallowing up some guys who couldn't run away from time to time.
As long as the poison gas catches up with you, take a few puffs.
The person starts coughing violently, and then he can no longer escape.
Many Shire horses bought from England at high prices were tied to carriages and blocked on the road. When the poison gas came, these Shire horses could only neigh and jump helplessly.
The concentration was so high that even the huge Sharma couldn't survive for more than a few minutes.
Napoleon led his guards and galloped across the field. His crotch was already sticky, and blood seeped out of his trousers, staining the saddle red.
But now I have no choice but to run for my life.
The pain from hemorrhoids made Napoleon want to commit suicide.
Several times he reached for the gun at his waist, but he held back.
Behind him, Forian was always looking at the sky, fearing that this cavalry force would attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty aircraft.
No matter how fast the cavalry is, it cannot run as fast as an airplane.
The Ming army dropped too many poison gas bombs, so much so that the concentration persisted for a long time.
It was blown by the wind for forty kilometers, and people and animals were devoured by poisonous gas along the way. All of them died miserably on the road.
Because the concentration of poison gas was too high, these people did not suffer much.
Two days later, after the wind blew away the thick poisonous gas, the stiff corpses stretched from Tsaritsyn to 40 kilometers away.
Inside the headquarters, Li Xiao felt secretly resentful as he watched the planes taking off and landing.
If Ao Ye and Man Ye's tank troops were here at this time, they would chase the French army by the tail.
Regardless of whether the French army has one million or two million, there will basically only be a few left after chasing them to Kiev.
From then on, the initiative on the Russian battlefield was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
But this can only be thought of. Now Ao Ye and Man Ye are launching a feint attack on the Israeli positions according to the predetermined plan.
Now it is impossible to pull out all of a sudden and launch an attack on the retreating French army.
The Battle of Tsaritsyn ended in an unexpected way!
More than 7,000 Ming troops defending the train station, plus some Zero Three troops, were killed alive by gas bombs dropped by the French!
Many soldiers were smoked to death in bunkers.
They were huddled together, and some even wore gas masks.
However, after the French finished throwing it away, Ming Dynasty threw it away again.
The concentration of poisonous gas is so high that even a pig-mouth gas mask cannot do anything against this concentration of poisonous gas.
The casualties of the Russian army were three times that of the Ming army. In addition, the Russian army had two temporary field hospitals that were not evacuated in time when the poison gas attacked.
In just one night, the Ming Dynasty and the Russians suffered more than 35,000 casualties.
However, the French did not gain any advantage. More than 40,000 French people were swallowed up by poison gas in Tsaritsyn alone.
Along the way, he was chased by poison gas and bombed by planes.
No less than 20,000 people were lost.
In this battle, Napoleon's losses were close to 70,000 men.
If we add that two months ago, the Tsaritsyn peripheral war began.
Napoleon's losses probably exceeded 300,000 men.
There is no need to defend Tsaritsyn City because no one can enter.
The whole city became a huge pool of poisonous gas, even though I was wearing cotton clothes.
Dust contaminated with poisonous gas can be blown up by the wind and burn people's skin.
Napoleon was also a ruthless man. After experiencing the initial chaos, he quickly reorganized his troops and did not give Ming a chance to pursue.
At the same time, heavy troops were deployed in the direction of Kursk and Omuir.
The entire army retreated on a rolling basis, retreating for 300 kilometers until they reached Voronezh, where they finally gained a foothold.
The troops are still building new lines of defense, and His Majesty the Great Emperor has already had to fly back to Paris by airship to receive treatment from doctors.
Hemorrhoids drove Napoleon crazy.
In this battle, France and Ming Dynasty collided in Tsaritsyn. Both sides paid huge sacrifices!
In two and a half months, the Ming army deployed a total of more than 400,000 troops.
The total casualties exceeded 150,000!
Before this, the Ming army had never experienced such a tragic battle.
For many new recruits, it only takes four or five months from joining the army to dying.
Some recruits even received death notices at home just three months after joining the army.
After enlisting in the army, he was sent to the Xi'an Rehabilitation Center, trained for two months, and then sent to the Tsaritsyn front line.
As soon as they entered the battlefield, people were blown away by artillery shells.
A young man left home and turned into a jar of ashes three months later.
No one can accept such a result!
In fact, there is another tragic fact that cannot be told to their families. Many soldiers were blown to pieces when they died.
The ashes contained in the white porcelain urn jar were actually the bodies of unknown persons collected on the battlefield.
Anyway, I picked it up and refined it, and I just gave some of the ashes for an explanation.
No matter how brutal the battlefield is, there will always be survivors.
Ding San and Lao Monkey are such survivors!
The phone was still open at the beginning, and I could contact the backend by phone.
But there was a fire on the Volga River, and even the best telephone lines were burned out.
Contact with the rear was interrupted, and there was a layer of yellow-green poisonous gas on the ground. The two brothers could only hold on on the water tower!
Watching groups of Stukas flying around above your head, and looking at piles of corpses on the ground.
There were so many corpses, not only human ones but also various animals.
There are crows, rats, cows, and horses.
Rats were the most numerous, and dead rats were almost everywhere.
There are so many dead people now, but no mice are seen coming out to gnaw.
Everyone thought that everyone in Tsaritsyn City was dead, and the place was contaminated with a lot of poison gas, so no one dared to come in to rescue them.
Although the poisonous gas is powerful, the two brothers on the water tower don't have this problem.
To be continued...
