The huge explosion gave the attacking Bostonians a reprieve. Many people couldn't help but look back. When they discovered that the supervising team no longer existed, many people chose to escape. Escape seemed to be contagious, and there was the first
One after another, there was a second one, and soon the Boston army that was charging began to flee completely. The rout soldiers ran back all the way, completely disrupting the teams waiting for the order to attack, but the 90th Boston army
The first army was already surrounded. Faced with enemies coming from all directions, where could they run?
Having lost their commander, lost their organization, and no longer capable of fighting, the Boston troops could no longer withstand the intensive firepower attacks of the National Defense Forces. They had no choice but to kneel down and surrender. Brigadier General Baden looked at everything in front of him in shock.
He had heard how powerful the Chinese Imperial Army was, but had never seen it. This time he finally realized the power of this friendly army.
The Chinese Imperial Defense Force, which has such combat effectiveness, is actually a new recruit unit that lacks heavy equipment. This makes Brigadier General Baden feel a fever on his face, because he knows that the Yaman Army, which was boasted by Emperor Yaman as the number one army in the Western Continent,
There is no such fighting capacity at all.
After completely annihilating the 91st Army, Cheng Guangling ordered the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield. The troops that had already attacked the two places did not care about rest. They sent their troops northward again, and a few days later they arrived at the south bank of the Kunene River and the Okavango River.
, across the river from the Boston River Guards on the opposite side.
After mobilizing a large number of indigenous residents, the National Defense Forces began to build fortifications along the south banks of the two rivers and launched a confrontation with the Boston army.
Seeing Cheng Guangling building fortifications along the two rivers, McClain became a little anxious. Originally, he was planning to continue the attack later, but he did not expect that people blocked the door of his house. McClain immediately commanded the troops to launch an attack on the National Defense Forces, but
Relying on the advantageous geographical environment along the river, the National Defense Forces easily repelled the attack of the Boston army. Even the inland river gunboats were sunk by the National Defense Forces using anti-tank guns, making them no longer dare to take the lead.
Although McClain was very reluctant to suffer heavy losses, he could only accept the reality of fighting across the river. However, Cheng Guangling unknowingly took back Walbeck's troops in the melee across the river. This one
The commando team, which has expanded to nearly 20,000 people, safely crossed the Cunene River and joined Brigadier General Baden's troops. The Southern Army has grown to more than 50,000 people. The next thing they need is to accept the training of instructors from the Chinese Empire.
The system is trained.
With 50,000 troops from the Southern Army, Cheng Guangling could mobilize more than 150,000 troops. Although this was still far behind the 350,000 troops on the other side of the river, the National Defense Forces had well-trained and well-armed troops, and they had two
Due to the favorable location of the river, their troops were not too disadvantaged. Moreover, while building fortifications along the river, Cheng Guangling secretly placed an order for twenty river gunboats at the Cape Town Shipyard. He wanted to have a good time with McClain.
It's the last game.
After learning about Nanfang County's victory, Fang Ruijun was overjoyed. This was the battle line he least expected. As long as they could defend their homeland and avoid too much embarrassment, Fang Ruijun would be satisfied. Unexpectedly, Cheng Guangling
The unexpected annihilation of 150,000 Boston regular troops almost eliminated the Boston Empire's most elite Third Army in the southern subcontinent.
The excited Fang Ruijun immediately promoted Cheng Guangling to the rank of second-level general, and at the same time allocated two fighter wings, a ground attack aircraft wing, and a strategic bomber wing to Nanfang County, which greatly strengthened the strength of the Nanfang County Air Force.
This defeat in the southern subcontinent was not known to the Boston military. Firstly, it was because MacLean wrote a vague combat report in Spring and Autumn style, and at the same time, the report was obscured. Secondly, the Boston military had already
Focused attention on the battlefield of the Western Continent.
As winter gradually passes, the temperature in the Western Continent is gradually warming up. First, the temperature in the southernmost tip of the Western Continent begins to rise. After the ice and snow melt, the various equipment of the mechanized troops can finally be activated again, but there has been no attack on the south for a long time.
Under the urging of the Boston Empire, the special forces finally launched a large-scale attack on Istanbul, the capital of the Istanbul Empire.
Istanbul is located in the Istanbul Direct Territory at the westernmost end of the Istanbul Empire. It is the only piece of land of the Istanbul Empire on the western continent. It is separated from the mainland of the Istanbul Empire by the Dardanelles Strait and the Espurus Strait.
The river faces each other.
Hundreds of years ago, this place was called Byzantium, the capital of the ancient Byzantine Empire. After the Istanbul Empire joined forces with some Western Continent countries to destroy the Byzantine Empire, which had declined to the extreme, it became the property of the Istanbul Empire. As a result of that year
One of the most prosperous cities in the Western Continent, the wealth of Byzantium shocked the royal family of the Istan Empire. In order to better control this place, and to avoid the aggressive invasion of the Persian Empire at that time, they moved the capital here and changed its name to Istan.
fort.
The Istanbul Territory covers an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers and has a population of 3 million. It is the only sea passage between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. It is also one of the important transportation places from the Western Continent to the Central Continent. The excellent geographical location has created the prosperity here.
Now it is the cultural, economic and political center of the Istanbul Empire, as well as the seat of its government. Two of the most elite armies of the Istanbul Empire are stationed here, and extensive fortifications have been built. According to the ideas of Abdul II
, this is a fortress that cannot be conquered at all.
But the fortress was not impossible to conquer, and Istanbul was definitely not an exception. After a year of preparation, the Axis forces headed by the Nantes Army finally reached the border. With a large number of fighter jets and bombers as the forerunners,
The Axis Powers' Southern Route Army launched a huge offensive operation. Millions of Nantes troops launched an offensive from the long front east of Istanbul. Under the cover of powerful air force, thousands of Renault 39 tanks produced by Nantes were covered.
With a large number of infantry, a full-scale attack began.
Under the intensive bombardment of hundreds of 203mm heavy artillery by the Nantes Army, the reinforced concrete fortresses that the Istanbul Empire believed to be impregnable were also continuously destroyed. The Istanbul Army retreated step by step, and their strategic space continued to be compressed.
The situation on the southern front of the Western Continent is becoming increasingly tense, because the Istanbul Empire was not prepared for such a large-scale battle. The defense line they thought was solid was broken through by the Axis forces led by the Nantes Army within a week. And Abu
Durer II believed too much in the defense capabilities of his capital and was unwilling to allow the Chinese Army to enter his capital too much. Therefore, before the war, he only allowed three divisions of the Chinese Army to enter the Istanbul area.
