Chapter 1085: The Unbeatable Ming (1)

Knowing that the Ming Dynasty only sent 1.2 million troops, European countries suddenly became more confident!

According to intelligence, the equipment of the Ming army is not much different from that of 20 years ago, the rifle is still the same rifle, there is no obvious change in the light and heavy machine guns, and the mortar is only a few more calibers, or mortars.

However, in terms of field artillery, in addition to the 90-millimeter field artillery of that year, there were also some 150-millimeter caliber heavy artillery, but their European armies were also equipped with 135-millimeter caliber heavy artillery.

In short, the equipment of their armies in European countries, even if the overall performance may be worse than that of the Ming army because of the difference in European technology and craftsmanship compared to the Ming Dynasty, but after all, there is no generation difference, at least not as much as it was 20 years ago.

What's more, the number of alliance armies of various countries is larger, and the armies dominated by the six major powers have been fighting for hegemony in Africa for many years, and the quality of the soldiers is definitely stronger than that of the army soldiers who have not fought in the Ming Dynasty in the past 20 years!

The top brass of the Alliance Army analyzed and believed that this victory would definitely belong to them in Europe!

As the high-level leaders of the European anti-Ming coalition army believed, the equipment configuration of the Ming army was not much larger than that of 20 years ago, but what European countries did not know at all was that military strength was not only the combat effectiveness of ordinary armies, but also some special combat forces.

On the railway from Shaanxi to the front line in Romania and Bulgaria, trains are flying. It can be clearly seen that the locomotive is not carrying the kind of carriage that carries people, but the kind of flatbed trailer that carries goods, on which are huge 'boxes' nailed by wooden boards, and no one knows what is contained in them until they are opened.

-----------------------------------

The two sides had a total of 3,950,000 troops, and of course it was impossible to fight in just one city or one area.

One million 2,000 Ming troops were deployed in an area of more than 200 kilometers from the border between Bulgaria and Romania near Austria, and opposite were 2,750,000 European anti-Ming coalition troops.

"God forbid, Europe will win!" On the morning of 22 July, 2,750,000 European anti-Ming coalition troops marched in parallel on five fronts, simultaneously attacking Romania and Bulgaria.

On the border between Romania and Bulgaria in a radius of hundreds of kilometers, the defensive positions of the Ming army were fiercely attacked.

"Boom, boom, boom----"

Artillery fire! Some of the Ming soldiers in the trenches were blown out, and some of the attacking European anti-Ming Union soldiers were also blown away.

The war was fierce, and the Ming army held a hill or checkpoint position to resist the attack of the European anti-Ming coalition army.

After five days of fierce fighting, the attacking European anti-Ming coalition forces finally made some progress, and in Romania, some hills or checkpoints were captured by the European anti-Ming coalition forces, and more than 30,000 Ming soldiers were killed.

In the end, the number of anti-Ming coalition forces in Europe is larger, and the weapons are not much worse than those of the Ming army, and many of them are elite battles in the African theater for many years, and under the all-out attack, it is not difficult to break through some defensive positions of the Ming army.

Two days later, in Bulgaria, several defensive positions were also broken through by the European anti-Ming coalition forces, and more than 20,000 Ming soldiers were killed.

Having broken through some defenses, the offensive in depth towards Romania and Bulgaria began.

The Ming army continued to rely on dangerous places and cities to resist the attack of the European anti-Ming coalition army, and the battle was very fierce, and the top brass of the European anti-Ming alliance army saw that progress had been made in only seven days, crushing nearly 100,000 Ming troops, and one by one their morale was greatly boosted, and ordered the army under their command to attack more fiercely.

Bulgaria, the rear command of the defense of the Ming army, the city of Sofia!

The telegram of "Di Di --- Di Di Di Di ------" kept sounding, and a series of battle situations on the front line came, and a sixty-year-old man wearing the uniform of a four-star general of the Ming Dynasty was calmly looking at the map in front of him, holding a pen in his hand, and was sketching something.

A corps commander-level general walked in.

"Marshal, the anti-Ming coalition forces in Europe have broken through many positions of our army, and tens of thousands of our soldiers have been killed! If it drags on any longer, the European anti-Ming coalition forces are likely to penetrate into the depths of Romania and Bulgaria, and a large number of cities will face their artillery fire! I implore the marshal to give the order to strike back immediately! The commander said solemnly.

Huang Xuan shook his head and said, "It's not time yet, it's not time to fight back now, you can't achieve the best results!" ”

In 20 years, Huang Xuan, who was just an ordinary army commander at the beginning, has grown into a four-star general of the Ming Dynasty, commanding millions of Ming troops!

"Wait a little longer, let the European barbarians run rampant for a few more days!" Huang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

As a four-star general of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of the army in this war, Huang Xuan knows very well the trump card in his hand, in the past 20 years, the military strength of European countries has been showing rapidly, and the Ming Dynasty has not made any progress under the leadership of the emperor.

------------------------------

The fierce war continues.

Eight days later, an important defensive line in Romania was broken through by the European anti-Ming coalition army, and the Ming soldiers of the entire three armies were routed, and more than 700,000 European anti-Ming coalition soldiers entered the Romanian depth, and Deva, Romania's second largest city, faced the front of 700,000 European anti-Ming coalition troops.

A day later, on the Bulgarian side, the Ming soldiers of the same two armies were defeated, the position was lost, and 600,000 European anti-Ming coalition troops entered the depths of Bulgaria, and even directly threatened Sophia City, where Huang Xuan, the commander of the Ming army, was located!

The war seems to be unfolding in a direction that is extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty!

On the side of the anti-Ming coalition forces in Europe, because of the successive advances, more than one million coalition soldiers successfully penetrated into the depths of Romania and Bulgaria, and the morale of all the high-ranking and ordinary soldiers of the coalition army was greatly boosted.

Europe is big 6, and the kings of various countries learn about the battle situation on the front line through the radio, and they are equally excited!

In the past 20 years, Europe has made great progress, and it is no longer the Europe that was ravaged by the Ming Dynasty! The Ming can no longer threaten Europe with impunity!

"God willing, victory will belong to Europe!" The King of France clenched his right fist tightly and said with a laugh.

The kings of other countries were also excited, this was originally a gamble, they were not willing to pay so much indemnity to the Ming every year, they wanted to defeat the Ming, and even wanted to seize the land that was being occupied by the Ming at the moment, and expand their colonies, such as North Africa, the Americas 6 and so on.

Especially the American Big 6, which was originally their European colonizer, was just forcibly occupied by the Ming Dynasty back then, as long as the Ming Dynasty was defeated, they would not only be able to leave those indemnities, but even be able to recapture the American Big 6.

They saw the huge benefits behind defeating Da Ming, and drove them to make this gamble!

Now, it was as if they had seen victory beckoning to them!

The kings of Europe were very excited, and the morale of the top brass of the alliance army was greatly boosted.

On the hundreds of kilometers of border between Romania and Bulgaria, a large number of European Union soldiers broke through the defenses of the Ming army and began to penetrate into the depths of Romania and Bulgaria.

Deva, the second largest city in Romania, and Sofia, Bulgaria, where the headquarters of the Ming army is located, are under the threat of more than one million European Union troops breaking into the depths, and the situation is quite urgent.

Sofia City, General Headquarters of the Ming Army.

Faced with the approach of the European anti-Ming alliance army, Huang Xuan's face was not panicked, but calmly calculated the specific number and location of the European anti-Ming alliance army that broke into the depth, and calmly mobilized the army to deploy.

A day later, the Bulgarian side of 600,000 European anti-Ming troops had reached the city of Sofia. On the Romanian side, 700,000 European anti-Ming allies also slaughtered the city of Deva. More European anti-Ming coalition forces followed from these two gaps6 to Bulgaria and Romania.

The two major battles of Sofia and Deva will be the key to the big war between the two sides, especially for the European anti-Ming coalition forces, as long as the city of Sofia and Deva are captured and the Ming army here is defeated, the coalition army can quickly occupy Romania and Bulgaria.

The top brass of the Allied army has made a plan, as long as Romania and Bulgaria are captured and the 1.2 million Ming troops here are defeated, the Allied army will take advantage of the situation to divide the troops into two routes, one to capture Ukraine, and the other to Constantinople and Asia Minor, and the two armies will eventually meet in the city of Baghdad in the valley of the two rivers.

The top brass of the European Anti-Ming Alliance Army thought very well and was excited, but unfortunately, things did not seem to be as good as they imagined.

"Let the countries of Europe run rampant for so many days, now is the time to let them know that the Ming cannot be provoked, they will have to pay a huge price for their ignorance, order, the army will strike back in full!" The general headquarters of the Sophia Ming Army, Huang Xuan suddenly ordered.

To the surprise of the European anti-Ming coalition forces, the Ming army did not defend Sofia and Deva cities, but took the initiative to counterattack the European anti-Ming coalition forces.

Such a move by the Ming army was very abnormal, and the top brass of the alliance army was shocked, but of course they could not be intimidated and ordered the alliance army to defeat the Ming army that dared to take the initiative to go out of the city to counterattack.

Outside the cities of Sofia and Deva, a fierce battle began between the armies of both sides.

"Boom! Rumble! The artillery of various calibers on both sides shelled with all their might, and the shells harvested the lives of soldiers on both sides one after another.-----

"Da ----" bullets form a dense barrage of steel.

This is a modern war in the true sense of the word, more than 200 years earlier than history!

The counterattack of the Ming army was very fierce, and it seemed that they did not care at all about the absolute superiority of the European anti-Ming alliance army, and the European anti-Ming alliance army was almost stunned.

Just when the top brass of the anti-Ming allied army in Europe was angrily preparing to order the allied army to counterattack the Ming army more violently, in the rear of the Ming army, suddenly there were a large number of strange-looking 'iron lumps' moving towards the battlefield, and it was estimated that thirty kilometers per hour was about thirty kilometers per hour, which was already a very terrifying degree, at least the soldiers of the alliance army were really frightened when they saw such iron lumps joining the battlefield at such a degree.

"Oh, God! What the hell is that! A Union soldier exclaimed with a pale face.

There were also Union soldiers who shot at these strange 'iron bumps', but the bullets hit them, except for some sparks, they had no effect on them, and they could not stop these 'iron bumps' from moving.

Soon, these 'iron lumps' will cross the defensive positions of the Ming army and enter the alliance army.

"Oh no, attack them!" The generals of the alliance army roared and ordered the soldiers of the alliance army to attack these strange 'iron bumps' belonging to the Ming army. Although they didn't know what it was, they had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Countless bullets hit these 'iron lumps' and shot a large number -----of sparks, but they still couldn't stop these iron lumps from advancing.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a pipe attached to the 'Iron Pimple' erupted into flames.

Suddenly, an explosion occurred not far away in a place where a large number of Union troops had gathered. Only then did the Union soldiers exclaim in surprise, it turned out that the iron pipe mounted on the strange iron bump was not an ordinary iron pipe, but a cannon pipe!

The sound of the machine gun rang out, and a large number -----of bullets were fired from a hole in the 'Iron Pimple', and some Union soldiers who were close to the 'Iron Pimple' were swept away.

Hundreds of 'iron lumps' struck into hundreds of thousands of European anti-Ming coalition forces with an unstoppable momentum, and no matter how the soldiers of the European anti-Ming coalition army shot and shot, they could not be harmed, and the fear of the unknown began to spread among the European anti-Ming coalition forces, and the anti-Ming alliance forces began to retreat one after another.

In Sophia City, Huang Xuan laughed when he learned the battle report from the front line.

"Hahahaha, the European barbarians have seen the power of my Ming armored forces!" Huang Xuan was full of pride, this trump card, he had endured it for so many days before he found the most suitable opportunity to use it.

In the past 20 years, the military strength of European countries has been increasing, how can the Ming Dynasty still be the Ming Dynasty 20 years ago, and the tank is a secret weapon of the Ming Dynasty.

It's not just tanks! The Daming Firearms Bureau has been updating and researching all kinds of new weapons, even the most commonly equipped rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, etc., the Daming Firearms Bureau's arsenal is more advanced, but it has not been reequipped into the Ming army on a large scale.

Tanks, as early as 20 years ago, the Ming Dynasty developed, and now it has been updated to the third generation, from the initial development of the steam engine, only five kilometers of the first generation of tanks, to the current diesel engine, thirty kilometers of the third generation of tanks.

The third-generation tank of the Ming Dynasty, equipped with an 80 mm caliber tank gun, two machine guns, armor thickness of 50 mm, and a total weight of 30 tons, is the absolute king of 6 wars on the battlefield at this moment.

With the addition of the Daming Armored Legion, the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant.

Thousands of tanks crisscrossed the European anti-Ming coalition army, and 300,000 Ming troops followed the tanks to attack, unstoppable!

The soldiers of the European anti-Ming coalition army, whether they shot at the tanks or still grenades, could not destroy the Ming tanks, let alone stop the advance of the Ming tanks. In just half an hour, the European anti-Ming coalition army was divided into pieces by the Ming army's tanks.

Boundless fear spread among the anti-Ming Alliance soldiers, and in the face of this unstoppable 'monster', the Union soldiers couldn't think of any way to stop it, and they were terrified.

"Smack! Syllable! Smack-----"

"Poof! Burst! Poof----- "The Ming soldiers who followed the tanks kept shooting at the retreating Union soldiers, killing a large number of Union soldiers.

Fear could not be contained, and the soldiers of the anti-Ming coalition army in Europe began to rout, from a small area of rout to a large area of rout on all fronts!

"Attack!" The Ming army took advantage of the victory to pursue and fiercely pursued and killed the soldiers of the anti-Ming alliance who fled.

Not only the anti-Ming allied army under the city of Sofia in the Bulgarian direction, but also the anti-Ming allied army under the city of Deva in the Romanian direction also encountered thousands of Ming tanks, the defense line was torn apart, and the soldiers were routed on all fronts.

Defeat is like a mountain! Under the cities of Sophia and Deva, the rout of 1.3 million anti-Ming Alliance troops was densely packed, and there were rout Union soldiers everywhere.
