Just one thought can send hundreds of thousands of people into the most brutal massacre.

Twenty years ago, Li Xiao would never have felt such pressure.

At that time, he had only a hundred people under his command.

But now...!

He holds huge power in his hands, but there is endless pressure in his heart.

Li Xiao looked at the dark sky until the sky gradually turned dark.

The whole night, the airships in the sky kept roaring.

And, accompanied by fierce gunfire.

That night, the Ming army rarely sent a Stuka.

The cold wind was howling, but so was the ghostly sound in the sky.

One after another, the French airships had their airbags exploded.

These airships burned with blazing fire, spinning and falling to the ground.

The pods containing food and medicine are fine, but those containing ammunition will cause huge explosions when they fall to the ground.

Together with that, the airship pod was torn into pieces.

Of course, the Ming army also paid a heavy price.

More than two dozen fighter jets ran out of fuel due to straying, and the pilots parachuted to escape.

Fortunately, the pilots all jumped into the Ming control area. Three of them fell to their death due to parachute failure.

The blood of the pilots was not in vain!

That night, the supplies the French army received were only 40% of what they had received before.

It was just dawn, and the French army was ready.

Last night, they all worked hard to dig trenches and shell holes.

During the day yesterday, the Ming army advanced fifteen kilometers.

The French army was bombarded by heavy artillery and could not hold its head up, while the French artillery suffered inhumane bombing by the Ming army and could not even exert half of its combat power.

Because the Stuka, which was hovering in the sky like a vulture, would swoop down whenever it saw the smoke from the artillery.

Then, came the fatal bomb explosion.

That bomb was thicker than a human waist, and it would really destroy the world when it fell.

The 88-gun is meant to be used for anti-tank use, and cannot be used for the luxury of flying aircraft.

Although the rate of fire of the Double 25 anti-aircraft cannon is high, the caliber is too small and the damage is limited, and... it is difficult to hit the Stuka, which has to be very fast.

The artillerymen did not dare to fire, which meant that the officers and soldiers on the front line had to use their own flesh and blood to fight against the torrent of Ming Dynasty's steel.

The Ming people were very punctual. At eight o'clock in the morning, the first batch of artillery shells accurately landed on the French position.

The French had been prepared for it long ago. Not only did they dig the bombholes deeply, they also used wood to hold them firmly in place.

Even so, the explosion of falling 120mm shells still makes people's scalp numb.

Some unlucky guys, the cannonball hit the anti-cannon hole.

The bombproof cave was blown down immediately, and people were buried alive under a layer of soil more than three meters deep.

Most of the French soldiers threw away their guns and squatted in the shell-proof holes with their heads in their hands.

In today's war, guns are of little use to them.

The targets that the Ming army could hit with guns were basically bulletproof.

Even the No. 1 tank, which is famous for its thin skin, can never be penetrated by a rifle even if it is pushed to a distance of ten meters.

As for the Ming army infantry, those guys who were afraid of death were all huddled behind the armored vehicles.

Not to mention a rifle, even a machine gun can't do anything.

War has entered the era of artillery. Whoever has powerful artillery can take the initiative on the battlefield.

At 8:15, after fifteen minutes of shelling.

Ming army tanks began to charge towards the French army positions!

On the French army's position, there was not a sound at all.

The Ming army tanks drove to a distance of 500 meters, but the French army did not respond at all.

Because there are at least twenty Stukas hovering in the sky.

"Boom!" A tank burst into flames, followed by a "bang" sound, and the turret was overturned.

The fire soaring into the sky was like a lit stove.

No, it's like a stove with a blower.

At a distance of four hundred meters, the 88-gun could not help but fire.

At this distance, the 88-gun is invincible.

Even the No. 4 tank with an egg-shaped turret could not withstand a hit from the 88-gun at 400 meters.

Ming army tanks caught fire and exploded one after another!

Almost at the same time, the Ming army tanks also began to fire at the exposed 88-gun.

The Stukas in the sky seemed to smell the smell of blood, and sharks swooped down from the sky one after another.

A huge bomb falls...!

A 500-kilogram aerial bomb will produce a powerful shock wave after it explodes.

Even if the bomb did not hit the 88 gun, the fatal shock wave could still kill the gunners.

Zu Kuan put down his telescope. He missed the days when many rocket launchers participated in the attack.

At that time, before the Ming army attacked, they would first use rocket launchers to plow the enemy's positions.

After being plowed through by large-caliber rocket launchers, there were those stupid 88 artillery pieces and those cockroach-like French soldiers.

But now, he doesn't have rocket launchers and doesn't have enough firepower to clear the ground.

I don’t know since when, Mangui has become accustomed to talking with cannons.

As long as the cannonballs are numerous and large enough, there is no position that cannot be captured.

Unlike now, when we attacked a place that wasn't even high ground, we actually lost five tanks.

The First Cavalry Division's family is rich and cannot afford such consumption.

The rumbling tanks and armored vehicles drove onto the French position. Except for the 88-gun, the No. 4 tank was not afraid of any weapons of the French.

Rocket launcher, bounce away!

Infantry artillery, bounce away!

Anti-tank grenades are out of reach.

As soon as those soldiers emerged from the foxholes, they were shot in the head by the 12.7mm machine gun on the tank.

The fighting has been going on for two days. The French army understands the Ming army's tactics, and the Ming army also understands the French army's tactics.

To deal with those elusive guys holding anti-tank weapons, the 12.7mm machine gun is a good weapon.

This thing is located high up, and the blind spot for shooting is only within five meters of the tank.

It's perfect for shooting those damn French infantry.

Not only them, the 12.7mm machine gun on the armored vehicle was also spitting out tongues of fire, shooting at anything that looked like French soldiers.

The 12.7mm machine gun on the armored vehicle is also equipped with a protective shield. Even if a bullet occasionally hits the shield, it will be bounced away.

Things like machine guns can only destroy the paint on armored vehicles.

The tracks ruthlessly ran over the French position and began to develop in depth.

However, the French army is now fighting in great depth. Behind the first position is the second position.

There are layers of trenches and foxholes, and there are even traps in some places. If the tank tracks run over them, there is a danger of capsizing.

Yesterday, two crews accidentally fell into the pit.

"Follow up all the troops and attack through the breach." Zu Kuan ordered, and the tanks around him started to move.

Prepare to fight all the way through the breach, directly penetrate the French army's position, and prepare to outflank the French army from behind...

When the vanguard tank rolled over the French army's position, several people suddenly stood up under the sand.

Some of these people held explosive canisters in their hands, some held anti-tank containers, and some simply held explosive packs.

"Long live France!" Following the slogans, these people gathered together and rushed towards the Ming army tanks.

Even if he is hit by a machine gun, his body will jump over due to inertia.
To be continued...
