Bayan quickly found the opener stuck to the bottom of the can, opened it, and then put the box and the box on the stove.

Within five minutes, the aroma of canned meat filled the air.

"Hiss...!" Bayan's mouth felt hot.

"Company commander, battalion commander. The tanks are back!" Hugjiril rushed into the artillery hole.

Li Yuan and Bayan looked at each other, stood up and ran outside.

The tanks of the Ming army were very embarrassed, rushing towards Li Yuan and Bayan's position at almost full speed. Those who didn't know it thought they were going to attack.

"What's going on! Why did you come back?" Bayan scratched his head, not knowing what was going on.

"Were you defeated?" Hugjirel's voice was a little soft.

"Little bastard, what are you talking about!" Bayan kicked the little crow in the mouth.

"The number is wrong! There were many more than this when I went there." Li Yuan put down the telescope and muttered to himself in confusion.

"Deploy your defenses, you won't be able to retreat if you don't get ready."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Master Man and his companions were blocked by the French in the Svetoyar Marsh and failed to drive the French into the Volga River."

Stewie held the telegram in his hand and looked at Li Xiao absentmindedly.

Tank troops have always been the Ming Dynasty's trump card. In the past, only bad roads could stop them.

Well now, even the French can withstand the impact of tanks.

How will this battle be fought in the future?

"Haha! The French are not stupid!"

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly and took a look at the telegram.

"Twenty-five tanks were destroyed in one afternoon. The losses were indeed heavy!

Mr. Man must be so angry that his head is smoking.

But we can't drive the French down the river, but the French can't do anything to us either.

I think from now on it will basically be a stalemate between the two sides in the Svet Loyal Swamp.

There is nothing wrong with this. As long as they cannot attack, it will be a victory for our army.

Next, let’s focus on the frontal battlefield.

The second brother landed in Sicily, and Napoleon probably couldn't sit still.

He will attack the outer positions of Tsaritsyn more violently, hoping to end the war quickly, and then return to defend the French mainland.

At night, the outer positions should be withdrawn. The troops should gradually withdraw to the city of Tsaritsyn, and we will fight with them in street battles.

The war has been going on for more than half a month, and those citizens temporarily recruited by the Russians should have some fighting ability.

It’s not okay to always stay on the east coast and waste food!”

Li Xiao seemed to have known for a long time that the French could stop Man Ye, and was not surprised by Man Ye's defeat.

"But... how did the French stop Man Ye? If the Prussians do the same, then our situation will be very dangerous."

Stewie was still frowning, the failure of the tank made him extremely nervous.

"An anti-aircraft gun used to shoot aircraft is only used to shoot tanks.

The anti-aircraft gun has a high muzzle velocity and its ballistic trajectory is almost flat within two thousand meters. After adding a high-explosive warhead, is it still accurate to hit a tank?

We have no good solution now. The battlefield is no longer flat. It is now three-dimensional!

There are planes in the sky and tanks underground.

There is a gun behind the tank!

If you are a chess master, airplanes are horses, tanks are cars, and cannons, and you will always be able to fight against enemies from across the mountain!

Only by using our chariots, horses and artillery flexibly can we win this game of chess.

As for how to use it...?

Hehe! Everyone depends on their ability.

My chief of general staff is not equipped enough to support him."

Li Xiao didn't care about Man Ye's defeat and continued to look at the map that he had seen so many times that he could almost memorize it.

Stewie was a little helpless!

The Ming army always relied on its superior equipment to fight.

If you are still an infantryman, I will use tanks.

What you fly in the sky is a slow airship, but I have a very fast plane here.

What was originally a sure-win situation was disrupted by a few anti-aircraft guns.

The war had to be dragged into more brutal street fighting.

But whether it's street fighting or not, the front of the troops is much smaller and a lot of troops are freed up.

The severely damaged troops can be withdrawn to the east coast to rest and recuperate, and then be put into the battlefield after being replenished.

On the battlefield, it is very dangerous to invest an army of pure recruits.

Almost half of these newcomers with no battlefield experience will fall in the first battle.

It's much better to have veterans with you, casualties will be significantly reduced, and the ability to complete tasks will skyrocket.

Li Xiao was still studying the map by himself, ignoring Shi Dewei.

Stewie could only continue to work so hard!

Li Xiao received a telegram from Man Ye, and Napoleon received a telegram from Leclerc.

I saw that in one afternoon, Leclerc defeated the Ming army tank force and destroyed twenty-five tanks.

Napoleon almost jumped with excitement!

The enemy's tank troops have always been a worry for him, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Leclerc.

"That means that from now on we just need to equip more large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and don't have to worry about the Ming army's tanks?"

Seeing Leclerc making another military exploit, Forion was a little jealous.

"right!

Immediately send a message to Leclerc, who is now a lieutenant general in the French Empire.

Tomorrow, I will personally go and confer him a title." Napoleon excitedly held the telegram and walked around the underground command post, like a lost mouse.

"Lieutenant General?" Forion's eyes widened. A small colonel officer, in just a few days, became a lieutenant general on an equal footing with him?

"Send a telegram to Paris to purchase large quantities of these 88mm anti-aircraft guns. The Imperial Arsenal must imitate them as soon as possible.
