The Germans were intensively mobilized and had close ties with the Polish side, and it was easy for Datang to find out the true purpose of the Germans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 It can be said that Estonia and Latvia have similarities with the Netherlands and Belgium, both are enclaves of the Tang Dynasty, isolated islands surrounded by European hostility. Compared with the heavily defended Netherlands and Belgium, Estonia and Latvia were relatively weak, but Datang also deployed a ground force of a group army, as well as two fighter aviation divisions and a bomber aviation division.

At the beginning of the war, Datang was still on the defensive and had a certain degree of self-control, so it can be said that even Hu Fakui, who advocated a world war, and his supporters did not have a clear and unambiguous understanding of the specific direction of the war. The war lasted less than half a year, and although there were still some confusions, the Tang side also understood some truths, that is, it was really not an appropriate thing to fight a defensive counterattack with the enemy under relatively limited resources such as the Lowland Campaign.

Datang needs to take the initiative to relieve the security crisis of the enclave. And more crucially, attacking the EU's industrial manufacturing capacity can fundamentally curb the EU's war potential and its desire to continue to compete with Datang on the battlefield.

In order to achieve a comprehensive suppression of the EU's offensive and destroy its industrial capacity, the General Staff Headquarters of the Datang Ministry of National Defense and the Air Force Command have been studying the launch of a large-scale bombing campaign, which will involve more than 2,000 bombers of the Datang Air Force, mainly the medium-range bomber H-6 for tactical bombing, followed by the H-7 and H-8 capable of carrying out strategic bombing missions.

In order to carry out this almost universal bombing campaign, Datang transferred a large amount of ammunition from the rear to the airfields on the front line. After several months, the Tang Army has delivered hundreds of thousands of tons of aviation ammunition to North Africa, Tianfang, Thrace and other regions, followed by various bombers that carry out specific tasks.

The Datang Navy also supported this bombing campaign, and the two aircraft carrier battle groups cruising in the North Sea, which had just participated in the Battle of Jutland, were drawn into the Baltic Sea, and their main task was to strike at Poland and Germany along the coast. In the North Atlantic, three more aircraft carrier battle groups have been sent from the east coast of North America, and their strength has been greatly enhanced.

After the surface ships were almost completely destroyed, the German Navy still resisted stubbornly, trying to blockade the Baltic Sea and prohibit the Tang Navy from penetrating. Their specific approach was to deploy a huge number of mines in the sea, but the Datang Navy had minesweepers to open the way, and still succeeded in opening up a safe route in the Baltic Sea. After all, the two sides are extremely far apart in terms of technology, and what seems unlikely to the Germans to achieve, the Datang Navy will solve it effortlessly.

Some German small submarines are also trying to cause some trouble for the Datang Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, but this is obviously also a difficult thing to do. The anti-submarine network of the Datang Navy is very stable and reliable, and the low-tech German submarines, coupled with the hydrological conditions of the Baltic Sea, are not suitable for submarine operations, so that these submarines continue to become sunken fish.

In fact, the Polish army had launched an offensive against the Tang army stationed in Latvia during the Lowland Campaign, but the combat capability of the Polish army was really limited, and the two mechanized infantry divisions of the Tang Dynasty were originally holding the defensive line, but when the Polish army of more than 100,000 people attacked, they were stunned by the Tang mechanized infantry division to make a beautiful intersperse, and then divided and surrounded. The Polish army itself had a small number of armored corps and a large number of infantry, and the infantry with poor mobility was easily swallowed up by the Tang army. The Polish army suffered heavy losses, and when it retreated, it was pursued by the Tang army, losing nearly half of its more than 100,000 people.

The Polish offensive was much more organized, the Germans had pledged to send reinforcements to Poland, and Poland had gathered Lithuanian and Belarusian troops in preparation for a joint offensive, which was expected to throw up to 300,000 troops. However, Datang's bombing came very timely. A large number of bombers of the Datang Air Force have been transferred from Asia to airfields in Ukraine, and Datang engineering units have rushed to repair several wartime airfields that meet the standards, which can be used for large bombers to take off and land. Moreover, the Dnieper and other rivers in Ukraine are navigable, which also facilitates the transportation of heavy materials and ammunition by the Don Army. Being as close to Europe as possible would also make tactical bombers like the H-6 more useful. Taking off from a military airfield in Ukraine to the border area between Latvia and Lithuania, that is, less than a thousand kilometers, in fact, the Flying Leopard fighters of the Datang Air Force can carry out such bombing missions.

Within 48 hours, the Datang Air Force dispatched 700 sorties of bombers and more than 200 sorties of fighter planes to carry out large-scale bombing of the Polish troops in the border areas of Latvia and Lithuania, and nearly 10,000 tons of bombs were dropped on the Polish troops in these two days.

An air attack of this intensity could even cripple the Polish troops in a structured manner, and the Polish army could not even defend its own line and fled in a hurry from the camps set up, and a large part of the Polish army in the front line completely lost its command and discipline and became a swarm of headless flies scurrying around.

The Tang Army, which was well versed in air-ground coordination, even though it was at a relatively large disadvantage in terms of troops, dispatched troops very quickly to break through the already dispersed Polish army. A large number of Polish troops did not put up a proper resistance at the moment they saw the appearance of tanks and armored vehicles of the Don Army, but simply threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

The equipment of the Polish army is relatively poor, there are many traditional land weapons, and there are tens of thousands of machine guns and artillery, but there is a lack of air defense weapons, and the air force does not even dare to engage the Datang Air Force at this time, so it is no wonder that the Polish army is now in a thousand collapses.

It somewhat made the Datang military feel regretful that if Datang had enough troops in Latvia at this time, it would be directly pushed to Lithuania and Belarus, and then advanced to Poland, completely eliminating this unsupportable Adou. However, Datang only has a group army stationed here, and there is a huge Russian Empire next to it, although Russia's own troubles are not small now, but if it really makes a desperate effort to cause trouble to Datang, it may still be a little difficult for a Tang army of group army size to face the siege of the Polish army and the Russian army by hundreds of thousands.

Of course, with the powerful air force of the Tang Dynasty, almost no army can smoothly push in front of this Tang army. (To be continued.) )
