Perhaps the Holy Roman Empire, with the support of many countries with ulterior motives, may be more prepared for the Second War than the Ming Empire.
But Zhang Huangyan is not worried about this aspect, because Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage in high-tech weapons, even if the opponent mobilizes millions of troops to block it.
Our own side also has the ability to severely damage or even annihilate it. The specifics depend on the role of non-subjective factors, such as weather, epidemics, etc.
"Oh my god! Is this the magic of the yellow-skinned monkey?"
The defenders of Warsaw were frightened and overwhelmed when they saw the overwhelming rocket attack.
The First Army of the Ming Dynasty King's Division concentrated 144 rocket launchers from four rocket launcher battalions to cover the target area with firepower.
Although a rocket launcher battalion only has thirty-six rocket launchers, each rocket launcher is served by ten trucks.
One of the trucks is used to load repair parts, one truck is used to load everyone's daily necessities, two trucks are used to transport fuel, and the other six are all ammunition trucks!
This means that without the need for baggage support, the rocket launcher battalion alone can fire twelve rounds of salvos at enemy targets with the ammunition it carries!
One hundred and forty-four twenty-barreled rocket launchers firing twelve rounds can hit thirty-four thousand five hundred and sixty rockets!
Coupled with the same number of 171mm heavy artillery, the mental destruction and physical damage caused to the opponent is very serious.
Although the thousand-plane bombing was massive and powerful, after all, it would be over after a while.
When the artillery unit opens fire, it doesn't happen in a matter of minutes.
As long as the ammunition supply is sufficient, you can fight from morning to night!
The defenders in Warsaw are not without counter-weapons, and are also equipped with many artillery and even rocket launchers.
However, a thousand-plane bombing launched by the Ming Army destroyed more than half of the defenders' heavy weapons in one go, and the rest were almost wiped out by the fighter planes circling overhead...
By the time the Ming Dynasty artillery went berserk, the defenders could no longer find any artillery pieces that could counterattack.
There are mortars made of iron barrels, but the range of this thing is too close, and it is really not enough to see.
After the last siege of Warsaw, some of the soldiers who successfully broke through were sent back by Crown Prince Joseph to defend the city.
This is a nightmare reappearing, especially after experiencing the last tragic experience, these people have lost all hope.
After the bombing and shelling, they lost even the will to resist and were left thinking about how to escape and never come back.
"Didn't the yellow-skinned monkey run out of ammunition? Won't the situation of the battle be reversed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"
Some new soldiers also have unrealistic illusions, thinking that the opponent's ammunition is very limited.
"It didn't work after holding on for fifteen days last time!"
"What? How could this happen?"
"If you don't choose to break out, you'll know why!"
The veteran just revealed a bit of information to him, and then didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
Anyone who has had the last experience, as long as they are not fools, is probably gathering enough energy now to prepare for a night breakout.
If you stay here, you will be waiting for death. If you don't die, you will be captured by the yellow-skinned monkeys and then sent to mine.
If you don’t want to mine, run away as soon as possible, otherwise you have only two options...
No one wants to abandon the city and flee. There is really no way out now.
The air force fighters in the city held on for less than half an hour, and all those that took to the air to fight were shot down.
The defenders were subjected to a combination of bombing and artillery fire. The counterattack firepower was greatly reduced, and the remaining tanks were turned into fixed firepower points.
There were some cavalry left, but in the face of a large number of enemy tanks, these cavalry had no effect at all during the day.
That can't be said. If the war horse can be used by the opponent to satisfy hunger, it may be able to kill hundreds of Huangpi monkeys...
Who would have thought that in less than a day, everyone would be pushed to the edge of the cliff by Huangpi Monkeys!
If the other side continues this level of bombing and artillery shelling, then our side can voluntarily surrender in three days.
If the Huangpi Monkeys had come three to five years later, maybe all the buildings in Warsaw could be rebuilt.
But now, some of the newly built buildings have been bombed into rubble again.
Not just some buildings, but the entire city.
No matter which party takes over in the future, it will be a heavy burden to rebuild the city of Warsaw.
If this place is treated as a ruins like a Greek temple for tourists, we can charge some admission fee...
After the armored troops besieged the city, the cavalry brigade took some Japanese troops to the surrounding areas to scrape the ground.
Whatever you find counts, it is acceptable to both men and women. On the other hand, neither the prairie soldiers nor the Japanese soldiers are picky about their food.
Those who stayed on the spot were responsible for cutting down trees, on the one hand for firewood, and on the other hand for making horses.
The two trenches originally dug by the defenders were turned into artificial rivers after being filled with water, and were later partially filled in by bulldozers.
Before the war started this time, it was dug out by the defenders. It seemed that the other party was deliberately seeking death.
Just following the opponent's wish, the Ming Dynasty King Master did not provide the opponent with a breakout channel this time.
The bulldozers were no longer needed, so it was up to the guards to cross the two trenches they dug themselves.
If the siege lasts longer, the Ming Army engineers can help the defenders dig another trench!
While the First Army besieged Warsaw, the Second Army passed south of the city and headed west, with the ultimate goal of Dresden in eastern Germany.
The reason for choosing this attack channel is that there are the fewest rivers to cross, probably less than thirty.
Some rivers are not very deep during the dry season in spring, and armored units can even drive directly to the other side.
This time we have to race against time, especially after summer comes, and the disease may break out at any time.
This time not only will they use blitzkrieg to penetrate the first line of defense of the Holy Roman Empire.
It is also necessary to use large-depth assault tactics to quickly attack its defense line in the hinterland.
The goal of the Second Army was Dresden, the Third Army was going straight into Prague, the Fourth Army was going to capture Brno, and the Fifth Army was heading towards Bratislava.
Southern Germany and Austria are still the war zones responsible for the Ottoman army. The status of the raids is still unknown.
It's not that the coalition forces haven't attacked this area last time, but it's a necessary route and needs to be done again.
Zhang Huangyan didn't even send troops to guard against Prussia. It would be okay if the other side sent troops to attack the Holy Roman Empire.
Otherwise, it would be a direct declaration of war on the Ming Empire, which would mean that the Ming-Japanese allied forces had another target to take advantage of!
It's not that Frederick didn't get benefits from the last war. The land swallowed up by Prussia was the biggest benefit.
Before the attack this time, Zhang Huangyan also handed over to Frederick Jr. the 10 million silver coins given to him by his respected master.
If you dare to make a mistake, it is a typical example of eating inside and outside, and it will not be finished until you beat the shit out of it!
To put it bluntly, even if Prussia launched a sneak attack behind the coalition forces, it was destined to fail.
Zhang Huangyan also reserved some troops on the other side of the actual control line as a strategic reserve.
Moreover, the air supremacy on the battlefield was completely in the hands of the Ming Air Force, and little Frederick's fighter planes were not enough.
It can be said that whether Prussia will be destroyed is just a thought of little Frederick...
Several targets encountered on the march route can be ignored as long as they are not particularly important, unless the opponent takes the initiative to launch an attack on the coalition forces.
If you find that some places are inaccessible and seem to be abandoned, it means that the previous strategy of relocating people has worked.
On the contrary, it means that the Holy Roman Empire is moving new people into the area and trying to restore the productivity of the area, so it will have to go to war...
According to the advance schedule, except for the First Army, the other four armies must take advantage of the dry season of local rivers to invade the final target area within a month.
That is to say, the front is pushed to the east of Germany to Bohemia and Moravia, so that it will not be affected by the epidemic that may occur in the summer.
The initial goal of this operation is to loot the population and cities in the hinterland of the Holy Roman Empire. If it goes well, the empire can be wiped out along the way.
The generals commanding the troops were naturally willing to fight farther because the nearby land had already been scraped once.
Even if you want to make a tooth ceremony, you can't do it because there are not many fish to catch in the river during the dry season.
Use rifles to shoot sparrows and the like, and distribute them to all the soldiers in the army. They can't even close the gap between their teeth.
Therefore, we should fight as far as possible, so that the entire army, including the top brass of the Japanese army, can confess.
You can't just work on the enemy's territory for a few months and end up staring at the enemy, right?
It was planned to take a month to attack the designated front line. Thanks to the efforts of several army commanders, it was about a week ahead of schedule.
about.
With constant enemy attacks along the way, this speed was considered very fast.
If there is still not much oil and water in the local area, then we can only fight further afield...
Prague and Brno are important cities in the hinterland of the Holy Roman Empire and the northern barrier of Vienna. Most of their city defense facilities have been restored.
There were three trenches outside the city, and enough food was stored in the city to feed the defenders for a year. A large number of air-raid shelters were also dug to resist bombing by enemy planes.
More than a hundred miles west of Bratislava is Vienna, which is naturally the focus of defense. Taking advantage of the Danube River flowing through here, Bratislava has been turned into a peninsula-shaped fortress.
After learning from the last experience and lessons, Crown Prince Joseph also organized a 400,000-strong Russian army.
This time they were not allowed to fight in the field. They were all stationed in the mountains of the Western Carpathians and the Sudetenland and used as mountain infantry.
When the performance of one's own tanks is inferior to that of the Huangpi Monkeys, and the number is not enough to overwhelm the opponent.
It would be unwise to rush into a field battle or even a decisive battle with the main force of the yellow-skinned monkey.
Crown Prince Joseph's tactic was to use mountainous areas and major cities to delay the opponent's attack as much as possible.
By delaying it until summer arrives, and then using the corpses to cause disease, the attack of the yellow-skinned monkeys can be repelled again.
If I had done this earlier last time, I wouldn't have suffered such huge losses in terms of people and property.
Therefore, Crown Prince Joseph was well prepared this time. It was just that the time when the war broke out was not satisfactory.
What's even more contrary to Crown Prince Joseph's wishes is that because the other side has invested a large number of new single-engine fighters, our own "Falcon" fighters are completely at a disadvantage in air combat.
The "Eagle" twin-engine fighters deployed in the rear also participated in air battles after March 10, and were shot down by the opponent more than twenty on that day, which shocked Crown Prince Joseph.
Joseph had high hopes for the "Eagle" heavy fighter, but the first battle brought him huge disappointment.
In the face of flexible new enemy aircraft, the "Falcon" fighter at least has some ability to deal with the enemy, while the "Eagle" can only be passively beaten.
The opponent is more flexible than the "Eagle", has the same speed and ceiling, and has better firepower.
It can be said that actual combat shows that the "Eagle" fighter may only have an advantage in terms of range, nothing more.
If the "Eagle" fighter cannot change the situation of being passively beaten in the future.
Joseph considered letting the factory produce all "Falcon" fighters. After all, this single-engine fighter has lower cost, simpler structure, and faster production speed.
The previous two large-scale air battles caused the Holy Roman Empire to lose thousands of fighter planes. This time Joseph did not dare to let the fleet of aircraft take the initiative to attack.
Basically, they fight in small formations, focusing on raids and guerrillas. They are hit and run, and the pilots do not need to deal with the opponent.
But the situation on the battlefield is not up to Joseph, because the Ming Air Force will not show mercy to the big cities in the hinterland of the Holy Roman Empire.
Carpet bombing on a scale of thousands of aircraft is an inevitable step. On the one hand, it can destroy the enemy's defensive towns, and on the other hand, it can also attract the opponent's aircraft fleet to block the attack.
On March 27, the first day when Prague was besieged, the Ming Dynasty Air Force dispatched more than 1,900 combat aircraft to assist ground troops in attacking the city.
There were 1,014 Hercules bombers in the formation, only 325 Black-footed Albatross, and as many as 573 Flamingos.
Once this kind of single-engine fighter was equipped with the troops, it was deeply loved by pilots. After all, pilots with some ability prefer to fly their own planes to challenge opponents.
The relatively clumsy "Black-footed Albatross" could only perform air strikes and ground strikes after the "Flamingo" appeared.
For Crown Prince Joseph, if a large number of fighter planes are not dispatched, Prague will definitely be bombed by a fleet of yellow-skinned monkeys.
On the contrary, he will suffer huge losses, which is a result he does not want to see.
After much deliberation, we finally agreed to let the Air Force block the opponent.
This time the yellow-skinned monkey attacked so fast that neither the Sudetenland nor the Western Carpathian defenders were able to significantly delay the opponent's attack.
Calculating based on the battle report, it only took less than five days to hold off the yellow-skinned monkey.
Even while occupying favorable terrain, those Russian troops are simply a bunch of trash!
At this point, there is no point in getting angry. Crown Prince Joseph can only protect the big city in the hinterland.
On the morning of March 28, in order to defend Prague, the Holy Roman Empire Air Force dispatched 788 fighter planes.
But this time they arrived early, and the fleet could only fly westward. Finally, they discovered the Ming army's fleet heading westward nearly 60 kilometers east of Prague.
Immediately the third large-scale air battle broke out...
